I see the self made disaster zone in Minneapolis is making news again:
The Star Tribune reports on the third sexual assault in the Powderhorn Park neighborhood in as many weeks, although the report neglects to mention its no-police pledge it took after the killing of George Floyd. That led to an encampment of homeless people that now number in the hundreds forming in the park itself, which the neighborhood also seems determined to endure:
I don’t have a problem with this. Liberalism is the religion for these people and if their religion requires them to put themselves in danger of from these predators well who am I to interfere with their 1st amendment right to practice it?
In some sections of DC it’s amazing how well enforcing the law works
White allies spring to his defense to prevent the arrest. Then they try to argue, “What he being detained for” as if they didn’t just see him hit the guy and then falsely arguing the Trump supporter punched him first. That takes some gall but an important example of how they often falsely represent the facts of what happens in incidents.
More people start assembling and trying to stop the police from taking the guy away. It’s a basic principle in such situations to try anything to “de-arrest” the person, to grab him back and free him from the cops. But one guy takes it just a little bit too far…The only thing that’s more problematic than punching someone in front of the cops is punching one of the cops.
End result two arrests instead of one
At this point they’ve basically neutralized them in D.C., they let them walk aimlessly across the city all night and go home, they can’t destroy what they want or camp because everything is fenced off.
Now if they could just get this kind of policing in the areas that need it, but the mayor will never allow it.
The irony of two white girls using a Chinese app to post a video of themselves singing “ f–k Trump and f–k the USA.” when if they did such a thing in China they would vanish (unexpectedly of course) is lost on these two fools but if I had to bet money I’d say this victory girls profile is spot on:
Dollars to donuts she grew up in a nice middle-class family, never worried about the next meal or having to get a job as a teen to feed herself or family. She’s the product of politically squishy parent(s) who encouraged her to “find herself”, gave her an unconditional allowance, praised her regardless of performance and worried more about her grades than her character. She’s a college grad with a degree either in Angry Studies or Liberal Arts. Her gayness is as much a political posture as her anti-Americanism (the tip-off is her use of the word “queer”).
It will be fun when this comes up in google searches by potential employers. I hope they have the skills to produce something on their own.
I think the most interesting paragraph of Victor Davis Hansen’s latest piece is this:
Could Ken Burns now still make The Civil War, 30 years after its original release, with a folksy Shelby Foote contextualizing the Confederate defeat as thousands of brave men dying for a tragic cause beneath them? Would a liberal Southerner like the late Jody Powell still dare to voice the words of Stonewall Jackson or Horton Foote or Jefferson Davis? In our more enlightened revolutionary times, were all these players useful idiots in the cause of racism?
The answer of course is No.
Want to be a real revolutionary, Read American History told by Contemporaries. Actual history as spoken & written by people of the time rather than spun by Zinn & co. Volumes one two three & four are online at least for now. Volume five you’ll have to find and buy somewhere.
To read this history unapproved by the left is a revolutionary act these days
Don Surber notes a dire warning for both the Democrats and the Nevertrump “conservatives” who are allying with them
“As the leadership of Black Lives Matter is professedly Marxist and rejects the proposition that all lives matter, it is an overtly and violently anti-white, racist institution of the far Left. Antifa are violent, racist fellow-travelers. In failing to condemn these groups unequivocally, the Democratic Party will soon discover that it has been mortally infected by cohabitation with them.”…Finally, Black issued a strong warning to neo-conservatives, writing, “Former conservatives and pillars of the pre-Trump Republican Party are now facing the point of no return. If they confirm their support for the almost leaderless Democratic Party now closely allied with pestilence and racist mayhem, they will never have any political influence in any party again. The time to choose between irreconcilable opposites is almost at hand.”
The Democrat left is in my opinion reacting out of fear because they understand that these violent Marxists will come for them & their careers 1st (easier unarmed targets). The Never Trump right are simply consultants chasing the $’s that they are no longer getting via Trump and will play the useful idiot as long as there is a paycheck in it.
This is why I’m not worried about Election 2020. You don’t have to like Trump to see what the choice for America is and I think Americans in the privacy of the voting booth will answer loudly.
