Obvious Truth

Many thousands more addicts have been killed gratuitously by drug dealers ... than have drug dealers been killed in conflict with the police. This hardly seems inclusionary.

Self-loathing Insanity

America seems to be becoming unglued. But this is just a thin veneer of our elitists who thought that they ran things ... yet have been bamboozled at every turn by our undeserving president. As a result, they are thrashing about in a frenzy of self-loathing and self-destructive insanity.

Don’t believe me? Just look at the “peaceful protests” centered in the cities run by these lunies ... attempting to destroy everything that is sacred ... and looting what is left. 

And powerful pols are springing the lawless from prisons, protecting foreign criminal interlopers, pushing for eliminating the police and all hydrocarbons, selling out our country, tearing down our historic monuments, kneeling down in front of anarchists in some misguided hope that they will like them, killing a half million unborn babies a year, saying that there are no longer genders, eliminating even rational drug laws, committing treason to maintain their grip on the levers of power and money, subverting justice in the name of justice ... and claiming all sorts of irrational rants are rational.

If this thin layer of our elite society were a person, “it” would be in paroxysms of manic frustration, foaming at the mouth, in a straight jacket, thrashing around in a padded cell ... demanding succor from its perplexed guards.

Fortunately, although they have the megaphones of the equally manic media, these spittle-flecked grape-nuts are quite few in number and do not represent America. Americans are the guards in the previous analogy waiting for their shifts to be up so they can go home for a burger and a beer ... and play catch with the kids.

Taking a Knee

The riotous mobs, when they are not looting and pillaging, are now confronting the defenders, police and soldiers, with the chant, “TAKE A KNEE!” This is, of course, a request for them to emulate Colin Kaepernick in his protest against his country (first) and  police brutality (second).

Unfortunately, many of those around the country who are charged with maintaining the peace are complying with this demand ... in the naive hope that the riotous thugs will be turned back into peaceful protesters, And of course just the opposite occurs. Weakness begets even greater problems.

Taking a knee translates as “all police are racists” ... just like the one who killed George Floyd. Not a good message to be conveying to a mob you wish to control. All compliers with this mob demand should be re-educated.

Afterward: If asked, will Joe Biden take a knee?

Honest Question

Are the residents of broken black neighborhoods more fearful of their local police force ... or drive-by shootings by gang bangers?

This is an honest question that deserves an honest answer ...

Fire Hydrant Talks

Thursday night, in order to push forward his agenda of prison and criminal sentencing reform ... and lifting his leg once again on the fire hydrant he calls the police ... Barack Obummer emoted some very misleading statistics trying to show how racist America's law enforcement system is. On Friday Heather MacDonald of the Manhattan Institute was on talk radio providing the real numbers ... most of which knocked Obummer's assertions into a cocked hat ... see: Rush Limbaugh Interview and National Review Article.

The show she was on was the Howie Carr Show here in Boston and Howie treated us to another interesting statistic. Apart from his body language and tonal disparity, Barack Obummer spent over 16 minutes Thursday night, before the Dallas shootings, disparaging, on Polish television, American police forces as racist for the shooting in Minneapolis and Baton Rouge. Friday morning, in response to the heinous shootings in Dallas in which five police officers were murdered, Obummer spent less than four minutes with his monotonal and perfunctory remarks some of which were directed at blaming guns for this mayhem. Obummer was over four times more vocal about those first two black killings than he was about the five police deaths in Dallas.

The One who promised in 2008 to be an uniter is, as an unfortunate fact, a natural-born divider.

Blood on their Hands

President Obama's Svengali, Valarie Jarrett, recently met with the leaders of the Black Lives Matter movement in the White House ... see: Breitbart Story. Apparently, the Obama administration, being in their waning days, feel that the slimy optics of such get-togethers can no longer hurt them ... or that the media will not cover such outrageous indiscretions. For the White House to lend prestige to this ragtag bunch of anti-police chowder heads does nothing but encourage more violence against our thin blue lines.

Yes, I believe that President Obama and his quislings have blood on their hands every time an officer of the law is gunned down by a radical racist who has been encouraged or abetted by this sick antisocial movement. The Black Lives Matter mob is based upon a lie and supported by slope-headed anarchists ... and to welcome them into the White House does nothing but display this administration's blatant disregard for the President's oath of office. He did twice swear to protect the American people from all enemies foreign and domestic ... wrong on both counts. Ms. Jarrett, such seditious actions really do matter ... shame on you!

Thugs

The mayor of Baltimore, Stephanie Rawling-Blake, and the state's attorney there, Marilyn J. Mosby, have taken sides ... and they are standing with the thugs. The mayor  told the police to stand down, and let the looters and arsonists have their head when Freddie Gray died under suspicious circumstances after a ride in a police van. The state's attorney has brought charges and achieved a grand jury indictment against six police officers, three black and three white, involved in this case. And both these city executives have made inflammatory political statement clearly indicating that they are not pro-police. The simple logic then dictates that they are on the side of the thugs in their bailiwick.

What is the consequence of this tilt to the dark side? Well of course Baltimore thugs believe that they can now "do their thing" ... and the cops see that they should, for the sake of their careers and lives,  relax their grip on street crime there.  The natural result is that the thugs are having a heyday ... producing the deadliest month there in sixteen years ... see: CBS Baltimore Coverage. In the yin and yang, back and forth of human existence, Baltimore is now experiencing a yin moment ... counterbalancing what was thought to be too much police yang.

Since they are elected officials, the bubble-headed mayor and state's attorney there are playing to whom they think are their constituents. This is clearly misguided. I suspect that they will learn the cold hard truth in the next elections. If they don't, then God help Baltimore.
