This is an incredible story and it shows the societal failures within the United States. This is a lesson on what needs to happen within society but, also, no one reads the tea leaves and makes any effort to solve the problems.

It is a parable about the circle of failure that has been going on for generations and, reading the blame game of the article, will be with us for generations after.

I hope this story scares you. I hope this story depresses you. I hope this story, which could easily have been avoided, shocks you into doing something about it.

The Story

I like covering the news. Sometimes, the news comes wild and wooly and I can’t keep up. I do have limited resources.

I had three stories ready to go for today but there was an unrelated story I just couldn’t ignore. It is a real life social commentary on what the Left is trying to do to our society and has been for generations.

This is an extremely disturbing story that is happening more often that not. And it is the reason were, as a country, are in the position we are in right now.

This story is from Fox Baltimore and is titled, City student passes three classes in four years, tanks near the top of his class with a 0.13 GPA by Chris Papst.

It’s as bad as you think.

A shocking discovery out of a Baltimore City high school, where Project Baltimore has found hundreds of students are failing. It’s a school where a student who passed three classes in four years, ranks near the top half of his class with a 0.13 grade point average.

Tiffany France thought her son would receive his diploma this coming June. But after four years of high school, France just learned, her 17-year-old must start over. He’s been moved back to ninth grade.

“He’s stressed and I am too. I told him I’m probably going to start crying. I don’t know what to do for him,” France told Project Baltimore. “Why would he do three more years in school? He didn’t fail, the school failed him. The school failed at their job. They failed. They failed, that’s the problem here. They failed. They failed. He didn’t deserve that.”

I want to point out the self-centeredness of France’s comment here. She’s going to cry. “They” failed him. This is a set up for her not taking any responsibility for her son’s education.

There were a lot of failures here. Not just Tiffany’s failure. But placing 100% blame and not acknowledging blame elsewhere does not solve the problem.

Hint: Tiffany is partially to blame.

France’s son attends Augusta Fells Savage Institute of Visual Arts in west Baltimore. His transcripts show he’s passed just three classes in four years, earning 2.5 credits, placing him in ninth grade. But France says she didn’t know that until February. She has three children and works three jobs. She thought her oldest son was doing well because even though he failed most of his classes, he was being promoted. His transcripts show he failed Spanish I and Algebra I but was promoted to Spanish II and Algebra II. He also failed English II but was passed on to English III.

“I’m just assuming that if you are passing, that you have the proper things to go to the next grade and the right grades, you have the right credits,” said France.

She assumed? Really? She thought he was doing well even if she knew he was failing all his classes, so she knew? She didn’t bother to inquire? It is her son, right?

I also don’t care if she is working three jobs. There’s no sympathy for an absent parent from me. Why? Because I was a single parent too and I had to make changes to my life to deal with my kids. More on that one later.

As we dig deeper into her son’s records, we can see in his first three years at Augusta Fells, he failed 22 classes and was late or absent 272 days. But in those three years, only one teacher requested a parent conference, which France says never happened. No one from the school told France her son was failing and not going to class.

“I feel like they never gave my son an opportunity, like if there was an issue with him, not advancing or not progressing, that they should have contacted me first, three years ago,” said France.

There are two things to question here:

One – He was absent for 272 days and the parent didn’t know? She was asked to have a parent/teacher conference but it never happened? She didn’t follow up?

Two – Where were the authorities? Absent for 272 days and minimal effort to contact the parent? The school, child services and police should have all been involved. Where were they?

In his four years at Augusta Fells, France’s son earned a GPA of 0.13. He only passed three classes, but his transcripts show his class rank is 62 out of 120. This means, nearly half his classmates, 58 of them, have a 0.13 grade point average or lower.

“He’s a good kid. He didn’t deserve that. Where’s the mentors? Where is the help for him? I hate that this is happening to my child,” said an emotional France.

Project Baltimore talked with a City Schools administrator, who works inside North Avenue, but asked not to be identified for fear of retaliation. That administrator says the school system absolutely failed France’s son.

Tiffany France is completely correct. Where was everyone? Where were the mentors, the authorities and the teachers?

But she did forget one person. Where was the parent, Tiffany France? Where was the kid’s father (more on that later)?

The administrator told FOX45 News, City Schools failed because it has protocols and interventions set up to help students who are falling behind or have low attendance. In France’s son’s case, they didn’t happen.

“I get angry. There’s nothing but frustration. We see on the news the crime that occurs, the murders, the shootings, we know that there are high levels of poverty in Baltimore. Things like this are adding to that. His transcript is not unusual to me. I’ve seen many transcripts, many report cards, like this particular student,” said the City Schools administrator.

Hmm. So what the administrator is saying is the system failed. Have we heard this before?

Dr. Sonja Santelises was the City Schools CEO four years ago when France’s son was a freshman. But she will not interview with FOX45 News. Instead, we received a two-page statement, which explains what should happen when a student is chronically absent or failing.

The district says students received a letter about their academic status this past summer, and records can be accessed through the campus portal. When a student is absent, an automated call is placed to the number on file. The statement also said the school conducted recent home visits and the student’s parent visited the school. France says none of that happened.

What the statement does not address, is why France’s son was promoted despite failing classes. It doesn’t discuss his class rank, or the 58 other students with a GPA of 0.13 or lower. But it does say North Avenue is “reviewing actions that impacted student outcomes” at the school prior to this year.

What does this tell us? The system doesn’t care. The system will not be held accountable and they do not have to answer for their failures. This child is not a victim, he’s the problem. Hey, they sent several automated messages and gave him a letter.

By the way, just a reminder. The system is the government.

“It took a lot for me to just build the courage to do this,” France told Project Baltimore.

I want to point something out: Tiffany France is not a hero. She’s not a whistleblower and she shouldn’t be celebrated as such. She neglected her child. That is a heavy statement and it is not all France’s fault. But her child is her responsibility. She also failed. We’ll get into that later.

Project Baltimore asked the City Schools administrator what they would say to France. The administrator replied, “I didn’t have a hand on this student, but I worked for City Schools. So, he is one of my kids. I would hug her, and I would apologize profusely.”

This is the problem with a bureaucracy. There is nobody who is directly responsible. That’s bureaucracy is a machine and not people. It is processed paper and moving student numbers through the system so they can be “promoted” and be the problem of the next bureaucracy. There are no human beings in a bureaucracy, just numbers.

“He feels embarrassed, he feels like a failure,” France said of her son. “I’m like, you can’t feel like that. And you have to be strong and you got to keep fighting. Life is about fighting. Things happen, but you got to keep fighting. And he’s willing, he’s trying, but who would he turn to when the people that’s supposed to help him is not? Who do he turn to?”

France has pulled her son out of Augusta Fells. He’s now enrolled in an accelerated school program at Francis M. Wood in west Baltimore. If her son works hard, he could graduate by 2023.

Too little, too late. This child may not be able to break the cycle he and his mother and probably his grandmother is in. That might seem cynical and I’m sorry for that, but we have heard this story a thousand times before.

But how can this happen and how do we break this cycle.

This is a Societal Problem

Death of the Nuclear Family

Lyndon Johnson’s War on Poverty (1965) destroyed the nuclear family. Men were no longer necessary in the family because of welfare and food stamps. Women could receive more government assistance with no husband and a bunch of kids. I am oversimplifying this but not by much.

Feminism made sure every woman realized they did not need a man in their lives even with children.

The erosion of the importance of religion decayed the need for a family to stay together. It used to be that one only divorces if there is no other option. Today’s generations don’t even bother getting married.

Studies have shown the effects of a family made up of a father and mother has on children. It’s not even close. Today, over 50% of children are born out of wedlock (75% in the black community).

Democrats keep pushing that message of unity.

Communists hate religion.

And let’s do stupid on a Friday.

So Much Unity

Former President Barack Obama blamed Fox News and conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh on Tuesday for losing the “connection” he claims he had with conservatives before he was president.

Obama said during a virtual gala:

“I ended up getting enormous support in these pretty conservative, rural, largely white communities when I was a senator, and that success was repeated when I ran for president in the first race in Iowa.”

“By my second year in office, I’m not sure if I could make that same connection, because now those same people are filtering me through Fox News and Rush Limbaugh and an entire right-wing or conservative media infrastructure that was characterizing me in a way that suggested I looked down on those folks or had nothing in common with them.”

Here’s the fact. Obama was one of the most divisive Presidents in U.S. history.

Anytime someone questioned his policies, he would claim racism.

He said that conservatives just wanted to “cling to guns or religion.”

He demonized the police at every turn. During the Michael Brown shooting, Obama did not cool the temperature in St. Louis. He raised it by saying that blacks must face police violence on a daily basis even though all evidence showed that the Brown shooting was justified.

He pushed the racist thing with Trayvon Martin by saying he could be “his son.”

Obama never negotiated with Republicans during his tenure. He either pushed his policies through executive order or by midnight votes by a Democratic Congress.

But what is most annoying is that he never takes responsibility for his words and actions. It’s always the fault of racist, bigoted, homophobe, sexist conservatives. It isn’t him that is divisive. It’s everybody else who doesn’t believe in him or his policies.

He also ignores what his own supporters and party is saying about conservatives and Trump supporters.

Listen to this rambling threat from Democratic state representative, Cynthia Jones:

I had to really hunt for this clip. YouTube and other platforms have actually deleted the video. Probably because it makes Democrats look nasty, not because it is a direct threat.

This is just a terrible thing to say and I cannot believe that she was not condemned for saying this. But it also shows us that there can be no unity.

We’re Going to See More of This

Democratic New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio warned an ultra-Orthodox synagogue in Brooklyn on Tuesday that he will shut them down “once and for all” if they continue to flout his lockdown orders.

During a Tuesday press conference, de Blasio was asked about a large indoor funeral held Monday by Congregation Yetev Lev D’Satmar, a prominent synagogue in Williamsburg that was also recently fined $15,000 for secretly conducting a large indoor wedding in November.

De Blasio said to the Gothamist:

“If we see another confirmed situation in which an inappropriate event is happening in that same building, then we’re going to have to move to shut down the building once and for all. That would be the next step if we see non-compliance.”

“I do think there’s an ideological factor that’s making things a lot harder.”

De Blasio has pissed  on churches and synagogues since the pandemic started. He Tweeted in April when the pandemic started:

“My message to the Jewish community, and all communities, is this simple: the time for warnings has passed. I have instructed the NYPD to proceed immediately to summons or even arrest those who gather in large groups. This is about stopping this disease and saving lives. Period.”

Bill de Blasio is a communist and has always hated religion. He has done everything he can to make life hard on religion, especially Jews,

His city has the highest levels of anti-Semitism of any city in the country.

He is using this pandemic to get rid of religion. He’s not the only one. This is happening in Illinois, Michigan, Virginia and California.

Listen to Virginia Democratic governor, Ralph Northem talk about church services:

This is what Democrats don’t get. It is not about praying. It’s about community. It’s support for one another.

Now, to the Stupid

At Least It’s Not a Nobel Prize

TIME Magazine faced widespread backlash online after the left-leaning publication selected Democrats Joe Biden and Kamala Harris as their “person of the year,” which prompted calls even from the political left for the recognition to go to doctors and scientists.

Time released a statement:

“Person of the Year is not an award — it is a marker. It is history as it’s written, whether good or bad.”

• Writer Kyle Smith: “Wow the media are so ready for the Harris Era. Hire a food taster, Uncle Joe, they’re already done with you.”
• Commentator Pat Condell: “Ha ha. On the credibility scale, this is right up there with Obama’s phoney peace prize. Time magazine is a laughing stock.”
• Journalist Curtis Houck: “Time doesn’t care about you, the people. It’s all about THEM. It’s all about their circles in D.C., LA, and New York. It’s all partisanship for them. Cloaked in ‘unity’ and ‘equality,’ they have nothing but venom for people who aren’t Democrats or on the side of the mob.”
• Columnist Eli Lake: “I get that the magazine is trying to seem hip and appeal to zoomers and millennials, but this is such obvious pandering.”
• Economist Brian Riedl: “With all due respect, Biden spent much of the year in a basement and won what was a referendum on the other guy. Harris was even less visible as a VP nominee after badly losing the primary. It clearly should have been health care workers, or those working on the COVID vaccine.”

This is typical. Obama got a Nobel prize though, to his credit, he did not know why. Trump, who has:

• Inked four Middle East peace deals.
• Had unemployment down to record lows for all groups.
• Got rid of ISIS.
• Was the only modern President not involved in a war.
• Lowered tensions with North Korea.
• Killed two terrorist leaders.
• Pushed for a COVID vaccine faster than any in history.
• Lowered taxes.
• Has put China on notice.
• Created Space Force.

Has never been made person of the year. Yeah, I’m probably a little bitter about it.

Why Actors Don’t Make Policy

Actor Chris Rock believes that Joe Biden would do the world a favor if he created a “Supreme Court of Science” to decide matters related to public health and the environment.

This intellectual giant said:

“I would hope that Mr. Biden institutes some scientific department — like, the Supreme Court of Science, just for the lack of a better name — that would be in charge of anything medical or environmental. Basically, I would hope that the government instills a mechanism, so that if there’s ever anything environmental or medical, this mechanism would take over — thus, eliminating politics out of a life-and-death situation.”

“Because we didn’t just experience a pandemic. You know, Donald Trump did this thing… Like, when security companies build new locks or security systems, they hire crooks to show you the weaknesses of the system. Well, Donald Trump showed us the weakness of our government. Now, it’s up to Joe Biden and Congress and the Senate to get rid of those weaknesses — to instill safeguards that actually protect us from unqualified mad men and mad women, so that we never have to be at the mercy of a person that does not exhibit empathy and competence.”

Yeah, Trump messed it up. He just held the virus to 10% of deaths compared to the estimates and developed a vaccine in 9 months as opposed to 5 years (which is average).

When talking about Joe Biden being elected, Rock said:

“I don’t know. When Biden won, I wasn’t jumping for joy. I was like Tom Hanks in ‘Cast Away’; I just wanted to hug Helen Hunt. You know, he’s not jumping for joy when he sees the ship. He’s just like, ‘Where’s Helen Hunt, man? I’ve been eating coconuts for years. Can I just f***ing hold Helen Hunt?’”

“How do I feel? I mean, I’m kind of optimistic. I just hope that all that’s happened, that this whole year was not in vain, and that people and the government doesn’t just go back to business as usual.”

Notice how actors always compare things to movies and other actors. That’s because they have no concept of reality. They sit back and live in their pampered little world and forget that there is real life out there. Or they just don’t know what real life is. This thought is cemented by his next statement:

“Like, basically, there’s a 9/11 everyday. 3,000 people died in 9/11. Somehow, we got the Department of Homeland Security, and no one questioned that. But now, we have a situation where, whatever — 300,000, a half-a-million people are going to die. Right? So, what I hope is that we do something.”

First off, 9-11 was a terrorist attack. The virus is a contagion that developed naturally, supposedly. There’s no correlation to the two.

And we have done something. We developed a vaccine and therapeutics to counter the infection. Josie’s 90-year old grandfather actually survived the virus because doctors now know how to deal with it. To do this in such a short period of time is actually quite amazing.

He finishes by saying that he used all his free time to look within himself and deal with his daughters:

“You know, with this pandemic, it’s like, what are you going to do with this free time? I wanted to make the most of the free time, and I just thought working on me would be the best use of it, especially having teenage daughters. Anybody that has teenagers will tell you, you’re going to lose them at some point. It’s going to be hard at some point. So, you know, I went through some stuff with my kids, and you learn it’s not just about lashing out. It’s about looking in.”

Let’s see: people are losing their jobs, their homes and their businesses. Domestic violence, drug use, crime and suicide are way up.

How tone deaf do you have to be? Chris Rock, or any other actor, hasn’t gone through any of this.

The Olympics Just Keep Going Downhill

Seeking to attract younger viewers for the international games — ratings have flagged of late — the International Olympic Committee (IOC) on Monday announced that breakdancing has been added as a sport for the 2024 games being held in Paris.

In a statement, the IOC stated:

“The WDSF could not be prouder to have breaking included at Paris 2024, and we thank everyone who helped make it possible: the executive board of the IOC, the Paris 2024 organizers, the WDSF staff and, most importantly, the breaking community itself,” he said, according to CNN. “It was a true team effort to get to this moment and we will redouble our efforts in the lead-up to the Olympic Games to make sure the breaking competition at Paris 2024 will be unforgettable.”

Really?

https://www.dailywire.com/news/breakdancing-becomes-an-olympic-sport-seriously

The election last night was a disaster. We still do not know who won the election and there are several discrepancies found in several states. This is the worst nightmare for our democracy.

Let’s talk about it.

What Happened on Election Night

The election started right on time. At 5:00 PST, results began to pour in. Things were going pretty much like we thought. But at 6:00 PM, right when the polls closed in Arizona, Fox News decided to project that Arizona was going to Sleepy Joe. Which was weird because 0.0% of the ballots were counted. This was the first of many concerns, which we will talk about later.

At this point, I went to dinner with my father and went to an election party with my parents. It was a great party. There is nothing like drinking wine with a bunch or right wing conservatives. Let me tell you if you don’t know, but we can party.

The night was going great. Trump was ahead in all the including Pennsylvania, Michigan, North Carolina, Georgia and Florida (which he ended up winning). So feeling good about things and being pretty drunk, we decided to go home because we were tired. When we got home, this is when things appeared to go south.

For some strange reason and something I have never seen before, vote counts stopped for the night. They stopped in Pennsylvania (Philly specifically), Wisconsin and Arizona. None of us could believe it. It was 1:00 AM and we were not going to find out who won the election (which wasn’t much of a surprise) because the ballot counters didn’t want to stay up all night (that was a surprise).

My dad simply said, “They are going to steal this one.”

We just went to bed. We were all really pissed off.

What Happened the Next Morning

Our worst nightmares were realized the next morning.

I woke up and immediately looked to my phone.

Trump was losing in Michigan, Wisconsin and Nevada and Biden had won Arizona and Virginia, which Trump thought he might be able to flip. Trump still had substantial leads in Georgia, North Carolina and Pennsylvania but the leads were narrowing. At least he did win Florida. Trump gained very little ground.

Twitter was on fire. People were screaming that the election was stolen. Trump was Tweeting throughout the day. And Twitter does what it does: suspending conservatives for having hope the election would turn toward Trump. Trump got Matt Walsh of the Daily Wire because he re-tweeted a scenario when Trump had the election stolen from him because Walsh has violated the “policy on disseminating false information.” The funny thing is they never suspended Biden’s account when he put up a meme that said he was going to win. The double standard lives well on Twitter.

But that’s when things started getting really weird with the elections and legitimate question were being asked.

It Ain’t Over

You know, we have been doing this voting thing for 244 years. You’d think we’d have it down by now. Well we don’t. Or, maybe we do and people are just cheating. And the media is a conspirator.

Fox News reported that Biden won Arizona without any ballots were counted.

Arizona reported that they had counted 95% of the ballots. That was wrong. They had only counted 84% of the ballots and those that were not counted were heavily populated by red districts.

There are several districts, including in California and Wisconsin, that are rumored to have more votes than ballots. In California, I’m not surprised by this. This has happened before in California but no one reported it. This is part of the evil that is mail-in balloting and ballot harvesting. Take a look at this:

There is a graph going around that shows the votes for the candidates by hour. The source is an Internet journalist named Derek Duck (that is his name) and, apparently, his information is accurate enough that Twitter suspended him for posting it. What the graphs show is the vote totals per hour. What is curious is, in the middle of the night, votes in Michigan and Wisconsin spiked at around 4 AM on Wednesday. That is odd because a lot of vote counters stopped counting at around that time. Weird, huh?

Donald Trump’s team, as of this writing, has already requested recounts in several states and have will challenge the results in Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. The legal challenges are based on votes counted that have no business being counted. That includes votes that did not get in before November 3. If the above graphs are correct, expect them to be used in court.

I don’t think court battles are going to lead to much and I don’t think recounts, especially when down 10 thousand votes are going to make too much of a difference. The reality that any court challenges may get some movement but, like in the 2000 Bush-Gore election, I doubt anything much will come from the Supreme Court.

In certain areas, 100% of the vote went to Joe Biden. That’s weird. That’s not me being a conspiracy theorist pulling stuff out of my ass. The Trump legal team has said that happened.

Republican representatives have not been allowed to watch the counting in votes. In Philly, security actually put up partitions to hide what the vote counters were doing. Doesn’t that make you go “hmm…”

Finally, the election is not over but Trump has some heavy lifting over the next couple of days. Nevada, Pennsylvania, Georgia and North Carolina are still up for grabs. Even Arizona, which has been declared already, is still up in the air. If Trump wins all four states, Trump will win.

So it’s not over and will not be for a few weeks.

The Good News

So far, all I have been focusing on is the bad news. But, in reality, there is some good news. Lots of good news.

• Republicans are going to win the Senate. Races that were suppose to be close weren’t close. More on that later.
• Republicans gained seats in the House. Polls said we were suppose to lose seats.
• Trump was suppose to get blown out, both in the popular vote and in the state vote. That didn’t happen. Trump is down a point and a half in the popular vote and won states he wasn’t suppose to win including Florida.

The most important is the woke crowd got skinned. The black vote went from 7% in 2016 to 15% in 2020. Hispanics voted for Trump at close to 40%. In fact, minorities have voted for Trump in droves. This shows the rejection of intersectionality and identity politics. The term “racist” has been so overused, no one thinks anything of it anymore. So people are going to vote for whoever they want and not care what people think. This is the biggest tell for this election. Even the Left was thinking this was an important point of the election.

Lessons Learned

Here’s what we have learned from this absolute disaster:

• There must be bipartisan oversight of voting in each state.
• There must be a standardization of voting procedures throughout every state if they want to participate in a federal election. Not how the states delegate their electors.
• Mail-in balloting and ballot harvesting are disasters. They must be banned. This has nothing to do with absentee ballots.
• Voting is a privilege.
• The polling sucked in every way.
  • They screwed up the Presidential election, both in the popular vote and the state-by-state vote.
  • They screwed up the Senate vote. The Republicans will probably take the Senate.
  • They screwed up the House votes. Republicans gained seats in the House.
• We have to make a Constitutional amendment that deems the election is on the first Tuesday in November and no votes shall be cast after 8:00 PM local time unless there are unforeseen issues.

Let’s play a game from the Daily Wire. Let’s play the SJW Meltdown Challenge to start the show instead  of the opening song. We should play this because Social Justice Warriors melting down is funny.

This Ain’t Going to End

The Incident

NBC Philadelphia reported yesterday afternoon on the incident that led to the riots. Police were called to neighborhood over reports of a man with a weapon. The man, 27-year-old Walter Wallace, was holding a knife when police arrived.

The report stated:

One video posted on Instagram shows Wallace walking toward the officers while a woman, who a witness identified as Wallace’s mother, tries to stop him. Two armed police officers back away from Wallace and tell him at least twice to “put the knife down” though it’s unclear from the video whether or not Wallace is holding a knife.

As Wallace continues to approach the officers, the camera briefly points downward and the sounds of several gunshots are heard as the police open fire. The camera then rises again, showing Wallace motionless on the ground as his mother runs toward him, screaming hysterically.

Maurice Holloway, a witness, told NBC10 he helped officers place Wallace in the police car that rushed him to the hospital.

Philly Mayor Jim Kenney, a Leftist, said:

“My prayers are with the family and friends of Walter Wallace. I have watched the video of this tragic incident and it presents difficult questions that must be answered. I spoke tonight with Mr. Wallace’s family, and will continue to reach out to hear their concerns first-hand, and to answer their questions to the extent that I am able. The Officer Involved Shooting Investigation Unit of PPD will conduct a full investigation. I look forward to a speedy and transparent resolution for the sake of Mr. Wallace, his family, the officers, and for Philadelphia.”

Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw said:

“I have directed the Officer Involved Shooting Investigation Unit to begin its investigation. I recognize that the video of the incident raises many questions. Residents have my assurance that those questions will be fully addressed by the investigation. While at the scene this evening, I heard and felt the anger of the community. Everyone involved will forever be impacted. I will be leaning on what the investigation gleans to answer the many unanswered questions that exist. I also plan to join the Mayor in meeting with members of the community and members of Mr. Wallace’s family to hear their concerns as soon as it can be scheduled.”

I’m not sure what video these guys saw but this was a completely justified shooting. The police were called in for a domestic disturbance, man with a knife. A video was take with Wallace chasing the police with a knife. Mind you, one of the police officers is a woman. The police backed away. Wallace came within ten feet of the officers. The officers fired. Justified shoot.

I also want to point out that the police officers were being assaulted and yelled  out by the people in the street, all black, and they did nothing but secure the suspect, Wallace.

And I notice that the media and the Left-wing politicians do not refer to Wallace as knife wielding or as a suspect.

The Results

Black Lives Matter decided to wait until the sun went down and have a riot. That is not an exaggeration. They literally waited until the sun went down then started looting and rioting.

Thirty officers were injured from rocks and bottles. One, a 56-year-old police sergeant, a woman, was run over with a truck and ended up with a broken leg.

They also started breaking into businesses and stealing their inventory. The ironic thing is these stores are burning the businesses that are owned and employ people of color. If any of these people truly believed that this shooting of the knife-wielding Wallace was unjustified, they would actually protest instead of stealing and destroying the property of people from their neighborhoods.

It’s disgusting.

What Will Happen

Let’s go over the worst case scenario for these election results. There is a 50% chance Biden becomes President. There is a 75% chance the Senate flips to Democrat. The is like a 94% chance the House stays Democrat. There is a very good chance that Trump could win but lose the Senate and House.

First, let’s talk about Trump winning the Presidency, which I think is likely but losing the Senate. Let’s be clear about this: there are five seats on the Senate that could flip. That would give Democrats a 52-48 advantage. That’s going to be important. Remember it.

So let’s go.

Trump Wins…Sort Of

If Trump wins but loses Congress, we don’t get a tax cut, which is what he wanted to do. At this point, Trump only has a couple of things to do. First off, if Trump has an approval of over 50% and blows out Biden in this election, it is going for Congress to go against Trump. Trump will hold a ton of rallies, blaming Congress for things not getting done and they may be forced to go with him. But don’t expect a lot to get done from Congress for the first two years. Hell, they haven’t done anything for the last four years. Pelosi is not getting crap for not approving COVID relief.

Expect a lot of Executive Orders. If Trump can’t get around anything, he’ll use his pen and let the courts to figure out if his orders are legal. I’m not sure the adding of ACB is going to swing things to Trump’s side. Not sure the 6-3 vote is going to help.

His foreign policy will, not only not be affected, but will be his prize. The Middle East peace path is growing. We haven’t heard from North Korea and China is now strongly behind Biden because Trump has been so rough on him. Oh, yeah, we won’t be in a war for the next four years unless something bazaar happens.

He is going to get, at least, one Supreme Court pick. The Senate, which will be Democratic, will have some decisions to make. I think this could be a good thing if Clarence Thomas decides to retire in the first two years. With a two year wait before midterm election, this could be a disaster for Chuck Schumer and the Senate Democrats.

Finally, Trump will be impeached…again. I think this is really cool to have a single President impeached twice. Never happened before. But like I said before, the Senate will only be 52-48 Democrat. Not enough votes to get Trump out and could be a disaster for Democrats at the polls, especially if the House and Senate did nothing for two years.

What If Biden Wins and the Dems Take Congress

…And makes it through the first four years. More on that in the next section. He won’t make it for the first four years. I’m not even sure he will make it through his first six months.

Taxes will be raised. He said that tax increase would only effect anyone earning over $400K. That’s going to be a lie. If Biden cancels the Trump tax cuts, he cancels them for everyone.

Will the stock market crash? Crash, no. Go way down, yes. Biden is going to implement a ton of business regulations. By the way, when people tell you Trump inherited his awesome economy, that’s a lie. Trump cut all of Obama’s regulations. This is why the economy when from slow growth to flying to the moon. We’re going to see it again with Biden as President.

Biden’s foreign policy is going to be a disaster. He’s going to rejoin the Paris Climate Accord because the Chinese and European Union want him to. He’s going to give billions of dollars to reenter the Iranian Nuclear Deal and will just do what Obama did: Let the next President deal with it.

But, what’s worse, and why I think Biden won’t be around long, is he’s compromised. His son has business interests in China, Ukraine, Russia, Iraq, Omen, Luxembourg and Romania. He has more shit on him than one of Trump’s Russian hookers (which has been debunked). This is huge stuff that’s just coming out but no one wants to talk about because orange-man-bad.

The reality is Joe Biden has made really bad decisions his entire life. He has made decisions that have enriched him and his family. We have proof of it now. Why people think things are going to be different now than they were the past 47 years, I don’t know.

How Long Would Biden Actually Be President?

The Left is evil. They are using an old man who has cognitive decline as a puppet. They have recruited a man who says he is a moderate and then chose a Vice Presidential candidate who is far Left to take over for him. By the way, Joe Biden is not that moderate. That’s a lie.

Let’s get to the point, I think Joe Biden has six months after his Inauguration. I think the Hunter Biden crap is going to be something the Left is going to use after he gets elected to get rid of Old Joe. I think they are going to try and impeach him. I also think Joe is going to hire so many Leftists in his cabinet, his cabinet may try to invoke the 25th Amendment due to his cognitive decline.

Selecting Kamala Harris as his Vice President was a huge mistake. She has no moral base and will do anything to get political power. She screwed Willie Brown for the Lord’s sake to get into politics. She cannot not be trusted to back him. She will do anything to get him out of the way so she can become President. If I were Joe Biden, I would never let her walk behind me or eat with her.

He will be gone.

We Have a new Supreme Court Justice

Amy Coney Barrett is now Justice Barrett as she was confirmed as a Supreme Court Justice by the Senate by a tally of 52 to 48. Strictly on party lines. Now the Supreme Court has a 6-3 Conservative makeup.

Of course, the Democrats are flipping out:

• Chuck Schumer said the Republicans will rue the day.
• AOC Tweeted, “Pack the Court.”
• Maise Hirono said, during the vote, loud enough to be heard, “Hell no!”

The Last Debate

Last night was the last debate and Trump needed to make an impact. He did. He won.

Trump

• He was patient. He let Joe talk. He took notes and responded.
• The longest portion of the debate was about COVID. He was positive. Biden was negative.
• Trump jumped of every lie that Biden threw out. Every inconsisancy.
• Trump had zingers.
• Trump brought up Hunter, gracefully….sort of. He made a mistake on some things. In fact he did this all night. He brought into the debate what he wanted to convey.
• Trump brought up the economy. Trump brought up foreign policy. The things that no one talks about.

Biden

• Biden was weak. He look old and tired.
• Though he did not have any serious gaffs, he did stumble and ramble. Trump let him.
• Biden’s body language is really bad. When He doesn’t know what to say or got caught, he looks down, looks up or looks at his watch. Many debate observers pointed out that he looked at his watch near then end of the debate. It was really weird.
• He said “come on” nine times. Listen to this clip from Grabien.

• When Biden says, “come on” he doesn’t have an answer. I do want to point out the Hitler comment. We were never friends with Hitler. That leads us to the next point.
• Biden lies. Like crazy. Every topic, there was a lie.
• He said things that are going to be used in future political adds. We are going to talk about that in a few minutes.

Kristen Welker

There was a lot of talk about Kristen Welker being the moderator. She’s a Leftist, She has pre-loaded questions before interviews. Her questions were questions that were leading to Biden and aggressive to Trump.

But I thought she did a good job. She was making some cover for Biden. She did cut off Trump a lot especially when he started hitting Biden. I also didn’t like the questions she came up with. They were the same as the last debate. COVID, the environment, etc.

There were topics that were never brought up. Once again, Biden was not asked to condemn Antifa. Welker never brought up Hunter and the possible corruption. Trump had to bring it up. The economy was not a big subject. Trump had to bring it up. Foreign policy, by far Trump’s strongest efforts, was mentioned for a while. I didn’t hear anything about that historic peace deal between Israel, Bahrain and and the UAE were never brought up. That’s trgic.

But she was far better than Chris Wallace.

The Issues

There were a bunch of exchanges between Trump and Biden that really showed the difference between the two. These exchanges were all very calm. Trump did not interrupt, did not talk over Biden. In fact, it sounded like the moderator did most of the interrupting.

The first topic was, of course, COVID-19. Because we just haven’t talked about the virus enough and it is one of the things democrats can beat Trump on. They really have nothing else. Listen:

Trump is exactly correct here. We keep hearing about the number of cases going up. We are spiking again. This is not a surprise because we are beginning to open the country. He is also correct when he says that people are suffering because they are stuck at home.

There were some things that Trump should have brought up or, at least, hammered it a little more.

• Though we are spiking in this country, our death rates are way down. In fact, we are now 20th in the world when it comes to death rates. We have therapeutics and are close to a vaccine. We have learned a lot about this virus.
• The states with the heaviest death rates are in blue states: New York, Michigan, New Jersey, Washington DC, Illinois.
• Every time Biden says Trump isn’t fixing the problem, he needs to point out that Biden’s plan is the same plan as Trump’s plan. And it would have been implemented later than Trump’s actions.
• By the way, is it Trump’s fault with the spiking in Italy, Germany, Spain, England or Brazil? The death rates, in those countries, are far higher than in the United States. No one knew how to deal with this thing. But Trump did a pretty damn good job.

Now let’s talk about corruption. Listen:

There were some awesome points here:

• It seems that everyone has forgotten about Russia, Ukraine and the impeachment, which happened in January of this year.
• Everyone is ignoring the Russian disinformation from the Steele dossier.
• Everyone is forgetting, or ignoring, that the Obama administration spied on the incoming Trump administration. This is real. And Biden had a hand on it through his unmasking of Michael Flynn.
• He pointed out that Biden was corrupt and made a lot of money on it. Biden is worth $9 million and owns two homes. Hmm….
• I thought this was clever. Trump hit the tax returns thing.
• Finally, you notice that the moderator started interrupting Trump. She did that all night.

• Trump really showed the stark contrast between him and Biden. Listen:

Fact check: true. I hate when politicians do this. They reach deep inside of themselves and reach for the emotions of the viewers. And Trump is right. He was talking about China and Hunter Biden when Old Joe went on his tangent. This was a perfect response from Trump.

In this clip, Biden talks about all the things he wants to do and Trump slaps him down again. Listen:

Absolutely correct. Joe Biden was a senator for 39 years and Vice President for eight years. The only thing he has ever done was his 1994 crime bill. This was not a terrible bill. It did lower crime. But, because most of the people thrown in jail over it were people of color, Joe needs to admit it was a mistake. And this is where Trump smashes him. First off, he points out he has done nothing while he was in office. Then, he points out that the only accomplishment Joe has had was a huge mistake. Then Trump points out that he always talks about what he is going to do but Joe has had the chance to fix things, but never did.

The all talk and no action comment was the crescendo to Trump’s little symphony.

This last comment by old Joe may have cost him the election. Listen:

What a disaster for Biden:

• He finally admitted he wants to end fracking and oil, probably coal too.
• He wants to end subsidies? Ben Shapiro had a great reason there are subsidies for the oil industry. The oil industry gets subsidies so they can provide energy to the poor who might not be able to afford it.
• Joe’s comments were so damaging that the moderator jumped in and tried to get him to walk it back by asking, “Why would you do that?” She tried to save Biden further by interrupting Trump, trying to move on to the next question and giving Biden the last word for ten seconds. But Trump got the shots in and they were heavy.

Trump showed restraint, he let Biden talk and the moderator, though biased, was pretty fair. Trump destroyed Biden in this debate. But is it going to have any effect on the election? Probably not much. A lot of people have already voted. The polls are showing that Trump did gain ground. Right now, the polls show that things are exactly like they were in 2016. I do believe that there is a secret Trump crowd out there that lie to pollsters or just don’t get interviewed. I also don’t like polls in the last few weeks before an election either because they tend to be inaccurate because of bias.

I think Trump is in good position.

Dumb Issue of the Night

Listen to this and think about what the problem is that would have Twitter exploding:

Now, there was nothing in that exchange that was bizarre. Trump has always believed in strong border security. And one of the reason is because of the victimization of those who cross.

There are about 536 children that cannot be reunited with their parents. There are two reasons why they can’t be reunited with their parents: Their parents cannot be found or their parents don’t want them back.

It was the term “cayote” that Trump used. Listen to what the idiots were Tweeting:

Karlous Tweeted:

“Since when did coyotes start bringing kids over here?”

Frasier actress, Peri Gilpin Tweeted:

“The children are brought here by coyotes?”

Newsperson, Nicole Schuman

“What does ‘children are brought here by coyotes’ mean?!”

“I thought i was tripping when i heard that,” tweeted Tennessee Titans fullback Khari Blasingame in response to a tweet that said, “‘Children are bought here by coyotes’ -WTF DONALD TRUMP.”

Actor and producer Sendhil Ramamurthy:

“Hot damn, coyotes are so much smarter and capable than I ever gave them credit for. I apologize for underestimating you.”

Georgia state Rep. Dar’shun Kendrick wrote:

“Did @realDonaldTrump just say 545 kids they can’t find their parents for came over through “cartels and coyotes“?! How the hell does a coyote bring a whole human across the border?! Lord—–stop talking.”

That last one works as a state representative. Jeez, no wonder government sucks.

A cayote is a person, usually involved in a criminal enterprise in Mexico, who leads people over the border. Cayotes get paid by each person who is trying to cross. They are bad people. But they are not half dog, half wolf that walk on four legs. Children are not riding cayotes over the border.

So dumb.

This haiku is going to be a little out there.

Trump has been Released.
In a message, he gave hope.
Critical race theory!

COVID Update

Donald Trump left the hospital on Monday. He looked and felt good and made a statement about having COVID-19. Listen:

This is a great message. It’s not going to get through to the Left. They just want to blame Trump for the virus like he went down in his basement and cooked up the thing. By the way, do you realize no one is even talking about China? I’m not going to call it COVID anymore. I will call it the Wuhan Flu or the China virus because we seem to have forgotten where the damn thing came from.

But I digress. This is a great message. It was not conveyed great but great none the less. We cannot be afraid of this thing. We must live our lives and take care of ourselves and the ones around us. The problem is we think the government should take care of everything like government has all the answers. This pandemic proved that they do not. No government in the world knew what to do. I know the Democrats and the media, but I repeat myself, think that this was all Trump’s fault, but it wasn’t. It just happened and we, as individuals, needed to take care of ourselves and others.

Does that mean wear a mask? Yeah. Does that mean stay away from people when one is sick? Yeah. Should we listen to doctors and scientists? Yeah. And we should open our economy, our schools and our business. Everyone, especially business, knows what we need to do to keep people safe. Keeping everything closed is effecting a lot in our lives. We are:

• Losing our jobs.
• Losing our businesses.
• Our children are not being educated.
• Our children are growing depressed.
• Our relationships are suffering.
• We can’t go to church or synagogue.
• We have no release and grow frustrated to the point that we accept the riots that we are seeing on the streets right now.

All the President is saying is that all of this has to end. This disease isn’t going anywhere. We are going to have to deal with it. We are all going to get this. And people are going to die. That’s just how the cold or the flu or cancer works. It goes through a population and does what it does. All we can do is try to deal with it until we are all able to handle it and can’t spread it. That’s herd immunity.

Trump’s message: This thing is not worse than anything we face in day to day life. We have to deal with it. We can’t fear. We need to move on. That’s a great message.

Trump will make his pick.
NBA could learn something.
Everyone calm down.

Reaching

On Friday, in the wake of news that President Trump planned to nominate Judge Amy Coney Barrett to fill the vacancy left following the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg last week, a Democrat operative used the opportunity to speculate on the way Barrett’s two adopted Haitian children were adopted—this prompted a barrage of criticism from conservatives who were outraged at the operative for seeming to use Barrett’s children against her.

Dana Houle, who served as Chief of Staff for Democratic New Hampshire Rep. Paul Hodes and campaign manager for Hodes and for Democratic Connecticut Rep. Jim Himes, according to Boston Review, tweeted:

“I would love to know which adoption agency Amy Coney Barrett & her husband used to adopt the two children they brought here from Haiti.”

“So, here’s a Q: does the press even investigate details of Barrett’s adoptions from Haiti? Some adoptions from Haiti were legit. Many were sketchy as hell. And if press learned they were unethical & maybe illegal adoptions, would they report it? Or not bc it involves her children. Would it matter if her kids were scooped up by ultra-religious Americans, or Americans weren’t scrupulous intermediaries & the kids were taken when there was family in Haiti? I dunno. I think it does, but maybe it doesn’t, or shouldn’t.”

“I hope the adoptions were fully legit & ethical. I hope if press investigates that’s whay [sic] find. But if the adoptions were sketchy, reporting it would really screw w the lives of her 2 adopted kids (& maybe the 5 bio kids too).”

The South Bend Tribune reported:

In a 2019 discussion before the Notre Dame Club of Washington, D.C., Barrett said she and Jesse decided to adopt from Haiti because it was an impoverished country and because it was close enough to be able to visit as the kids became older. She and her husband debated over the years whether one should stay home with the children — she described plenty of “soul-searching and anxiety about balancing kids and work — but Jesse’s aunt has helped watch the kids for years, and Jesse took on more home duties after she became a judge. “What greater thing can you do than raise children?” she said. “That’s where you have your greatest impact on the world.[”]

Houle got lambasted. Bethany Mandel, conservative editor, said:

By the way, she calls herself a neo-Nazi and grandma killer. She’s my type of editor. I need to read the Ricochet, the magazine she edits.

Millie Hemmingway, a senior editor for The Federalist, tweeted:

You think? Do you know who doesn’t attack the children of political opponents? Republicans. Remember, the press attacked Donald Trump’s son on election night? Remember that Nick Sandman was being thrown under the bus because he didn’t hide and cower from some fraud playing a drum in front of his face? And realize they are attacking Kyle Rittenhouse for defending himself in Kenosha from three felons. The Left has no scruples.

Finally, Ted Cruz tweeted:

Simple yet right to the point.

Learn a Book

Democrats in the House of Representatives will introduce a bill next week to limit the tenure of U.S. Supreme Court justices, from lifetime appointments — which is outlined in the Constitution — to just an 18-year single term.

Reuters reported on the forthcoming bill, Thursday:

The new bill, seen by Reuters, would allow every president to nominate two justices per four-year term and comes amid heightened political tensions as Republican President Donald Trump prepares to announce his third pick for the Supreme Court after the death on Sept. 18 of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, with just 40 days to go until the Nov. 3 election.

According to Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna (CA), the bill — the “Supreme Court Term Limits and Regular Appointments Act” — is intended to tamp down partisanship.

“It would save the country a lot of agony and help lower the temperature over fights for the court that go to the fault lines of cultural issues and is one of the primary things tearing at our social fabric,” said Khanna.

“The bill seeks to avoid constitutional concerns by exempting current justices from the 18-year rule,” Reuters said. “Those appointed under term limits would become ‘senior’ upon retirement and rotate to lower courts.”

Khanna argued, “That’s perfectly consistent with their judicial independence and having a lifetime salary and a lifetime appointment.”

As noted by News at Northeastern in 2018, Northeastern law professor Michael Meltsner, who specializes in the Supreme Court, said lifetime appointments to the Supreme Court were intended to “insulate justices from partisan politics.”

“That was put into the Constitution to preserve the total independence of the judiciary,” explained Meltsner. “Once a justice is confirmed and takes a seat on the court, they’re not beholden to anybody.”

My thoughts:

• I believe in term limits. For Everyone. Mark Levin has a great book on this.
• The 18 year limit and two picks per President won’t work.
• The Democrats have a great ideas but for the wrong reason.
• This requires a Constitutional amendment.

The NBA Should Listen to These Guys

Per the Daily Wire:

Former NBA stars Charles Barkley and Shaquille O’Neal pushed back on a lot of the outrage that racial activists have been fomenting in recent days over the death of Breonna Taylor, noting that the case, while tragic, did not belong in the same category as the death of George Floyd.

Barkley said:

“It’s bad the young lady lost her life, but, you know, we do have to take into account that her boyfriend did shoot at the cops and shot a cop. So, like I said, even though I’m really sorry she lost her life, I don’t think that we can just say we can put this in the same situation with George Floyd and Ahmaud Arbery, I just don’t believe that.”

O’Neal then reportedly jumped in and agreed with Barkley, highlighting aspects of the case from the law enforcement side of things.

O’Neal said:

“I have to agree with Charles, this one is sort of lumped in. You have to get a warrant signed and some states do allow no-knock warrants. And everyone was asking for murder charges. When you talk about murder, you have to show intent. A homicide occurred and we’re sorry a homicide occurred. When you have a warrant signed by the judge, you are doing your job, and I would imagine that you would fire back.”

Barley replied:

“We have to really be careful on these, you know, I hear these fools on TV talking about ‘defund the police’ and things like that. We need police reform and prison reform and things like that because you know who ain’t going to defund the cops? White neighborhoods and rich neighborhoods.”

“So, that notion they keep saying that, I’m like wait a minute, we’re just going [sic], who are black people supposed to call, Ghostbusters, when we have crime in our neighborhoods? We need police reform, but like I said, white people and especially rich white people, they’re always going to have cops. So, we need to stop that defund and abolish the cops crap.”

As noted by The Daily Wire, the notion that the black community in the United States wants less policing is false.

“A Gallup poll conducted from June 23 to July 6 surveying more than 36,000 U.S. adults found that 61 percent of Black Americans said they’d like police to spend the same amount of time in their community, while 20 percent answered they’d like to see more police, totaling 81 percent. Just 19 percent of those polled said they wanted police to spend less time in their area,” Newsweek reported. “Black Americans’ responses to the question were nearly on par with the national average, in which 67 percent of all U.S. adults said they wanted police presence to remain the same and 19 percent said they wanted it to increase.”

I hated Charles Barkley when I used to watch the NBA. That’s because he was a brutal player and the Lakers couldn’t control him. I don’t know how intelligent Barkley is but he definitely has some common sense and he’s rich enough not to care what people think of  his opinions.

I loved Shaq. I think he is probably my favorite Laker. I’m not surprised he agreed with Barkley. Don’t forget: Shaq was a reservist police officer and he’s funny as hell.

Good for those two and the NBA should be listening to them. Their ratings are down by 50% because of all this social justice warrior bullshit. The reality is 81% of blacks agree with Shaq and Chuck. The NBA better get their heads out of their asses because LeBron, who is an idiot, ain’t selling tickets anymore. The Lakers may win the championship this year but I can guarantee you I won’t be watching it.

People, Relax

I always want to try an end a podcast with a Joe Biden comment. Well, I have one. From 2016. I can’t lie, I have mixed feeling about it. Things like this will always end positively, though you may not like it.

First, here’s sleepy, creepy Joe talking:

There was a time I was in a meeting and I made a joke about beating my wife. It was a joke but inappropriate. I got into trouble, was crucified in HR but dealt with my punishment. Over. This is Joe Biden comment. But there are things I think show us, not about Joe, but about the media.

• This happened in 2016. Why hasn’t this reported before now? Would Trump get the same consideration?
• Biden just bitched for an entire Town Hall about how Trump hates the military. Why is this not a thing?

Those are rhetorical questions. i don’t have an answer. Well, I do and so do you.

But here’s the thing that bothers me. And this is a criticism for the Right. Joe Biden made a joke. It was a joke. He’s with a bunch of soldiers, the saltiest human being in the world. They are actually trained to be salty. Trained to be tough. Trained to be hard and insensitive to hard words. These people avoid bullets for a living, watch their friends die for a living, they kill for a living. Do you think any of these people really got offended?

I was in the army. I can guarantee you they didn’t. So why are conservatives getting offended?

Independence Day!
The fireworks lit the sky!
The Media flips!

The Speech

On Friday, Trump held an Independence Day. It was a great speech. It was prepared for him, which usually makes him look really good, albeit dry,

It was an “America is about God, baseball, family and apple pie speech.” It was, quite possibly, the best speech he has given. And he has given a few.

The speech was positive, celebrating our history and our growth (though he did not focus on the historical details so much). Here is the speech:

He had several themes throughout the speech:

• He celebrated our philosophies: moral reason and reason.
• He celebrated our history and said he would not permit the Left to destroy our monuments.
• He bashed social justice and cancel culture.
• He talked about the protection of America and its citizens from enemies, foreign and domestics.
• He emphasized the growth of America, including Civil Rights.
• He talked about the great personalities in history, the great cities in America and the accomplishments throughout history.
• His conclusion, we must remember this country’s history. He said he is going to create a new monument that will have a statue to the greatest people in American history.

It was a great speech. Very positive. It was the kind of speech that made one proud of being an American and look forward to the wonders of our future achievements.

The Media

Darkness! Despair! Racial division!

Basically, the media has decided to lie about the speech. It was too good. There was nothing they could say if they looked at the speech so the media took cuts out of it and read into those quotes. Here are some headlines about the speech:

• Trump Fuels Culture Wars from Mt. Rushmore – New York Times
• Trump Fuels Racial Division at Mt. Rushmore Speech – Time Manazine
• Trump’s Mt. Rushmore Speech Just as Terrifyingly Bonkers as You’d Expect – Esquire Magazine
• Eye Opener: Trump Makes Divisive Speech at Mt. Rushmore – CBS News

This speech was far from Divisive or bonkers or what ever. Well, unless you think America is a great place with a great history. But the funniest, most “unbiased” view of the speech from Chris Cillizza of CNN. Let’s read some of it.

https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/04/politics/donald-trump-mount-rushmore-south-dakota-speech-lines/index.html

Listen, Trump says a lot of dump stuff. And there has not been a shortage of dumb things Trump has said or Tweeted over the last few weeks. But this speech was not one of them. It was a great speech. I tell you, Trump could cure cancer and CNN would find a good reason for cancer.

The People

The people have had enough. Nothing was going to stop them from celebrating Independence Day this year. Not COVID-19, political injustice or Anftifa was going to stop us.

California decided to, basically, cancel Independence Day. There were going to be no organized fireworks displays, personal fireworks are illegal and they have decided to close the beaches throughout California.

Guess what? People had enough. The beaches were packed, though social distancing was being followed. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department declared they would not be enforcing any of the beach closures.

But, one of the most amazing sites I have seen was while driving through Los Angeles. The sky was lit with illegal, private fireworks.

It was the most amazing fireworks display I had ever seen. It made Los Angeles sound like a war zone.

Are you seeing what I am seeing? Are people sick and tired of being told what they can not do without any explanation or plan to let us be free. We are not China or Russia. There better be an excuse or timeline and it better make sense or people will just do what they want, the law be damned.

Let’s look at Gil Garcetti, the crappy mayor from Los Angeles. He decided to close beached from July 3rd to July 6th. That’s right, he closed the beaches only during the holiday weekend, essentially ruining the holiday for thousands of families during the hot and sticky holiday. His move appeared so obvious, even law enforcement was not going to enforce the law. Heck, law enforcement was not allowed to stop looters from destroying business and running wild on the streets, why enforce a law where people are just doing something fun on the most important national holiday of the year?
