#BidenPriorities.
You know ’em when you see ’em. Open borders. Eliminating oil pipelines. Afghanistan is a land of mad dashes. Massive socialist wealth redistribution programs. His lips don’t move, he lies. And now, handing out 110 million taxpayer dollars to “currently and formerly incarcerated individuals.” What on earth for, you ask?
Because when you’re Joe Biden, that’s the kind of stuff you do.
The Department of Justice’s Office of Justice Programs (OJP) on Wednesday announced “awards” totaling more than $110.7 million to “reduce recidivism and support adults and youth returning to their communities after confinement.”
“We must help them reunite with their families, find a place to live, obtain health care services,” and stuff, said OJP.

As reported by Breaking 911, OJP’s Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), National Institute of Justice (NIJ), and Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) are “awarding grants to jurisdictions, non-profit organizations, research institutions, and other agencies in support of evidence-based approaches to reintegrate formerly incarcerated individuals into communities.”
No word on how much money the Biden Justice Department is “awarding” to individuals and families forever affected by violent crimes committed by any of the “award recipients.”
Here’s Associate Attorney General Vanita Gupta, as transcribed by Breaking 911:
We will ensure that former prisoners get the training and support they need to return to their communities.
It is our responsibility to help these people reunite with their loved ones, locate a home, receive health care and support for behavioral problems, and get an education so they can enter the workforce.
They are vital to successful reintegration, and they promote safety and health in our communities.
You know what else is “critical to promoting the health and safety of our communities,” Ms. Gupta? Stop supporting cashless bail and treat prison cells like revolving doors. (See: “Waukesha.”)
Amy L. Solomon (Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General) for OJP relayed Gupta’s words to Solomon:
These resources — and investments being made by agencies across the federal government — will help catalyze and bolster systemic solutions to address the substantial reentry needs felt by hundreds of thousands of people across the nation.
We must give those in prison, jails or confinement centers the support and tools they need to be productive members of society if we are truly believers in the power and second chances.
As announced by the OJP website (link, above) all awards will be made “as soon as possible.”
All FY 2021 grants are made on a rolling basis as quickly as possible and not later than December 31, 2021. Notification will be sent to applicants who did not receive FY 2021 awards, if they were successful in their competitive applications, as soon as practicable but no later than December 31.
The following awards were presented:
The FY 2021 Second Chance Act Pay For Success Initiative has raised more than $6.5million. This funding program allows state, local, and tribal governments the opportunity to increase or implement performance-based, outcomes-based contracts that include reentry, permanent support housing or recovery housing providers in an effort to lower recidivism as well as address some substance use disorders.
Through its FY 2021 second chance Act: Adult Education, Employment, Treatment and Recovery Program, it raised $26.3 million. The program will improve the quality of treatment and services provided to individuals suffering from substance abuse disorders and correctional education and employment for inmates.
Project Hope has raised more than $3.5million through the FY 2021 Swift and Certain Supervision Program. The program funds state, tribal, and local community supervision agencies in order to test and develop new or improved applications of swift, sure and fair principles for intervention. This will reduce recidivism, improve outcomes, and help people who are under community supervision.
Fiscal Year 2021: Implementing the PREA Standards and Protecting Inmates Program. This fund provides funds for projects to combat, detect, and remedy sexual abuse and harassment in confinement units and to ensure compliance with the Prison Rape Elimination Act standards.
Here’s the thing.
I’m not suggesting programs should not be in place to help convicted criminals reintegrate into society. Individuals with an a desireReintegration and Who dEmonstrateThis is a desire in particular.
However, often programs like this for habitual repeat offenders of violent crimes are not dissimilar to hapless Kamala Harris trotting off to the Northern Triangle (once) in search of the “root causes” of illegal immigration while the purposely created Biden Border Crisis™ continues unabated.

Here’s the other thing.
Another example of disingenuous liberalism is this. Liberals never care about solutions. Particularly when it comes to solving problems that they are claiming to be fixing. Liberalism is a philosophy that emphasizes symbolism rather than substance. Liberalism was always about exploiting, pandering and flat-faced lies. Liberalism was always about the ballot box more than anything else.
Understand “all of the above” — and you understand the mindset of the American liberal.
RedStaters, Merry Christmas! Love those you care about.
