You know, sometimes you just can’t tell the difference between reality and the Babylon Bee. So I think I’ll take a swing at some creative writing.
Dateline: Washington DC
As Joe Biden’s handlers sorrowfully regarded his plummeting poll numbers they considered their options. In the next room they could hear Kamala cackling as she considered her next trip to the border via New Orleans for some gumbo. A shiver ran through the room as they realized their limited options. Joe sat next to the fireplace with his pants leg pulled up showing his minder for the hour his hairy legs and asked his female secret service agent if she wouldn’t come a little closer. She vehemently shook her head no and said “You’re fine where you are, as am I”. He asked if there were some little girls with barrettes in their hair coming later to visit, the agent looked pained and replied “NO”! She looked pointedly at the agent next to her covering a grin and said “When is Jill supposed to be back”? The agent tried manfully to cover a chuckle and said “She’ll be back from getting her legs waxed in a couple of hours. She didn’t want a repeat of that no hose, visible band-aid on the leg thing like when they were photographed with the queen”.
“There’s GOT to be something” whimpered Susan Rice, maybe we should call Barry?
“Nope, no need” chimed in Fredo Cuomo “I know the perfect issue! It’s always a winner with all the American people!” Everyone looked hopefully at Cuomo. “GUN CONTROL” He crowed triumphantly! “Remember how popular Eric Swalwell and Bozo O’Rourk were with the American people? Why when Duke Nukem threatened to use nuclear weapons on American citizens everyone all across America just fell in love with him! Everyone in the newsroom loved him! All my friends thought he was a shoe in! I don’t know anyone that didn’t think he had a perfectly reasonable idea. Oh I heard some of those mouth-breathers in flyover made some noise, but who cares about them. They are a tiny minority! I mean look at it, the guy was sleeping with a Chinese spy and he’s still on the intelligence committee. If that doesn’t show how highly he’s regarded, what could? Then Bozo was so manly when he flat out told people he was going to take their AK-47s and AR-15s.” I think we could use that to show how in control Joe is. That would show people he really knows how to wield power, who care if they find out we cheated in Maricopa, and Georgia, and Pennsylvania, and Minnesota, and Wisconsin, and Nevada and” Susan Rice broke in “We know Fredo, we all know”. Well sniffed Fredo offendedly, “I’m telling you the only reason Eric didn’t win the nomination was his huge percentage started shriveling when that mean old Bear at The Zelman Partisans started writing about him. Everyone loved him!”
Kamala who had snuck unseen into the room chimed in “Gun control? Don’t you think the media might start to raise questions about Hunter and his gun?” Fredo glared witheringly at her and said “Of course not! What is the matter with you?” Kamala cackled nervously and shot back, “Well, it’s a real issue and a real problem! He probably can’t keep this up much longer” Fredo looked at her in astonishment and said “Of course he can! We’ve got his back”. Susan looked patronizingly at Kamala and said “Are you planning on visiting Disney World on your way to visit the border via New Orleans Kamala dear?” Kamala got her deer in headlights look, cackled “FLORIDA?? You mean go into De Santis territory? No, I think I’ll go to Virginia and look for root causes of ….something, I’ll think of something” and slunk out of the room.
Susan and Fredo mulled over the gun control angle. “Well, Joe is making a name for himself, look at the fabulous guy he pretended he nominated for the head of the ATF. All the senators are so impressed with him, they all love him!” Susan mused. And with the good help you guys have given him Fredo, Americans now see how deadly those assault rifles are.
Sadly for Chipman and the Communists, Americans aren’t stupid, or unskilled. So, the BATFE didn’t give Chipman a automatic weapon? Interesting.
And so a speech was whipped up for Joe while he took a long nap. He was then trotted out for the cameras and promised a nice ice cream cone if he did a good job.
As normal sane Americans listened to this, they wondered if perhaps Eric Swalwell had taken a break from sharing National security secrets with spies from enemy countries to take up speech writing for Beijing Xiden.
Predictably news outlets more reliable than the NY Slimes (which would include this column) immediately came out with notices of sales and family shopping trips to their local armory and airfield.
Palpatine was also dismissive of the idea that people need blasters in case they have to overthrow the Empire if it turns tyrannical. “It’s just a ridiculous idea that a rebellion armed with blasters could do anything about us,” he said. “You’d need your own armored, planet-destroying superweapon to match the strength of our Death Star. Even if you had X-Wings, what could they do but scratch its surface? Abandon all hope to rise against us! Abandon!”
In a bit of exciting news for firearms enthusiasts and those who wish to deter their government from becoming tyrannical, Bass Pro Shops has announced that its semi-annual 2-for-1 nuke sale will be kicking off this weekend. Every nuclear weapon in the company’s arsenal will be completely free with the purchase of any other nuclear weapon.
WASHINGTON, D.C.—In a speech yesterday, President Joe Biden made a compelling and powerful argument in defense of the Second Amendment. The president ranted on and on about how if people were to rebel against his iron-fisted rule, he would nuke them and send F-15 fighter jets to attack them in their homes. These statements alone were enough to convince millions of Americans the Second Amendment is still desperately needed to protect their natural right to defend themselves.
The nation scrambled to buy F-15s and nuclear weapons after President Biden said in a speech Wednesday that you’ll never beat a government unless you have the fighter jets and intercontinental ballistic missiles.
All over the nation, American citizens were seen parking their brand-new F-15s in their driveways and garages. Some wealthier Americans purchased the F-22, while less fortunate citizens were forced to buy the F-35 joint fighter. But no matter what craft they chose, American citizens said they were just glad to finally be protected against a tyrannical government.
Family Shopping Trip
Personally, I have a email in to Israel to see about a home version of the Iron Dome. I knew I should have bought that Centurion tank when I had the chance!
At this point Nancy Pelosi tottered in on her high heels, “Don’t you mess with my commission!” She screeched. Susan Rice glared at her and said “OUT! Do you want me to call AOC?” The painted on color drained out of Pelosi’s face and she wheeled about and tottered back out of the room without a word, repeatable.
As the cabal congratulated themselves on having undoubtedly pumped up Joe’s poll numbers, they also savored the fact they had threatened him sufficiently to pretty much stay on topic.
Joe, you already are in trouble with the American people. With or without your mask, we see you and your cronies for what you are.
“When people are solely fixated on the issue of race, they tend to view everything that happens to themselves and others of their racial group through a prism that has only two colors—black (oppressed) and white (oppressors). That is far from the reality in America today”.1
Dr. Ron Martinelli
“All the Panther lovers. All the ‘Do it or Die.’ All the ‘by any means necessary negroes…I didn’t see ‘em stand up and do nothing’. Oh really, I don’t believe in marching, I believe in offing the pigs’. Well they got pigs out there. You ain’t offed one of them. What I believe in, I do. Do what you believe in. Or shut up and admit you’ve lost your courage and your guts to stand up…’I’ll off the man. Well off him. Plenty of crackers walking right around here tonight”.2
Al Sharpton, Speaking to Students, Kean College, New Jersey, 1992
On 28 August 1963, in what became the largest civil rights march to date, Dr. Reverend Martin Luther King delivered his “I Have a Dream” speech before a huge crowd in Washington, D.C. His vision foresaw a future in which “my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character”.3 King expressed the Biblical principle of universal brotherhood wherein people of all races see their own humanity in the faces of others. In G_d’s eyes, there is only the human race. One’s heart and character define who they are. However, Critical Race Theory (CRT), the intellectual foundation of BLM, denounces King’s colorblind society and equality of races as a trap set by white supremacists.
Samantha Vincenty, senior staff writer for the Oprah Daily, who is white, insists a color blind society is racist because it “ignores the realities of systemic racism” and thus hides the fact that blacks are “mistreated, underserved, and underpaid”.4 CRT’s adherents and BLM base their “proof” for systemic racism on de rigueur claims police are engaged in a genocidal war of oppression against blacks.5 Mistreated, underserved, and underpaid by whom? Where are the examples? Has she not heard of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, especially Title VII? If race-based discrimination in pay were occurring, Civil Rights attorneys would like to know.6 Nevertheless, Vincenty makes the self-validating claim blacks must suffer mistreatment because CRT presupposes “systemic racism” as an incontrovertible fact for its starting point. If not true, their remedial solutions collapse like the proverbial house of cards. Systemic racism is an amorphous creature whose singular quality is plasticity. It is possessed of many meanings and no definitions. From there, Vincenty jumps to the conclusion not to see race is itself racist. Why? It allows those who utter statements about a colorblind society to ignore systemic racism.7 Being called a racist is the greatest fear among the whites she knows but it pales in comparison with black’s greatest fear, “not surviving an interaction with a police officer”.8 Like communist professor Howard Zinn, who used no footnotes in his writing,9 Vincenty provides no sources for her claims. This shields authors from having to defend their research, such as it is, on the one hand and blast critics as racists on the other.
Vincently asserts when white people hear the term racism, they see Jim Crow laws establishing segregated schools, neighborhoods, restaurants, hotels, and public transportation. Since this is illegal, white people assume racism no longer exists. This view blinds whites to black poverty and lack of educational and employment opportunities resulting from institutionalized racism. Institutionalized by whom? Whites, of course. In order to preserve their dominant position in society, white Americans erected a system of structural racism built on oppressing other races. She does not explain how her boss, Oprah Winfrey, overcame structural racism to become one of the richest women in the world. Vincenty also sees the American tradition of individualism as racist and a source of pathologies plaguing black society. Individualism allows whites to see poverty, academic failure, alcohol and drug dependency, and the inability to find and hold jobs as “personal moral failings” rather than identify the real cause. That cause, of course, is systemic white racism. Worse, individualism teaches if one engages in right behavior, (studying in school, working hard, obeying the law), one succeeds in life. If you don’t, you won’t. This view places blame for personal failures on the individual rather than on where Vincenty believes it really belongs, systemic white racism.10 This view generates a neat and tidy rationale for recurring and seemingly impregnable pathologies plaguing black inner cities. It is the white man’s fault. One could ask who created “pregnant teens; families without fathers; or a 50% high school dropout rate” as well as rampant drug abuse among this demographic. Who created its “murderous street gangs preying on their own communities and killing young black adolescents and young adults”? Who gave birth to and promotes “gangsta rap” which denigrates girls as “bitches” and “ho’s”?11 In addition, critics of CRT point out African immigrants from Nigeria are among the most educated and successful of any immigrant group.12 CRT proponents counter the difference is the legacy of slavery.
According to Brandon Jones, blacks suffer a transmissible and inherited generational form of PTSD resulting from slavery, humiliation, discrimination, and hatred by whites in America.13 Original rationales justifying slavery evolved into a systematized structure of oppression by the white against the black race. If this were true, why would black and brown people become police officers? Vincenty claims some minorities are willing to serve Caucasian’s system of racial control to the point of oppressing their own.14 Spokesmen for BLM and their allies are less generous referring to these officers as race traitors.15 Vincenty, writing from the ultra-liberal enclave of NYC, is more than an opinion essayist she is a propagandist for CRT, which, itself, is an adaptation of Karl Marx’s theory of class conflict and exploitation.
Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels authored the Communist Manifesto. They boiled history down to a constant struggle between two economic classes, oppressors and the oppressed. The former, capitalists, own the means of production as well as natural resources. The latter own nothing therefore trade labor, far below its value, to their oppressors for goods and services. Therefore, these classes are “in constant opposition to one another”. Either this ongoing clash leads to a “fight” ending “in a revolutionary reconstitution of society at large” (with the end of oppressors owning the means of production and private property) or it ends “in the common ruin of the struggling classes”.16 As society evolves, the classes remain the same because oppressors devise “new conditions of oppression” resulting in “new forms of struggle that replace old ones”. Society exists in two hostile camps, “bourgeoisie, and proletariat”. The bourgeoisie construct society to prevent the oppressed from ever rising above their class.17 Does this sound familiar?
Proponents of CRT adapted Marx’s theory replacing economic with racial class. Just as Marx contended due to oppression by the bourgeoisie the proletariat could never rise above its station in life, CRT argues the same with respect to race. Whites are the bourgeoisie and blacks the oppressed downtrodden proletariat. As butterflies pinned to a museum display case, blacks cannot escape their race. Born black, black they will always be. Because whites designed society to exclude them, it automatically denies blacks full participation. Where did CRT come from? Like any movement, CRT has its pioneers.
Derrick Bell, Professor of Law at New York University, together with Alan Freeman, a white “scholar”, State University-Buffalo Law School, created the foundations for Critical Race Theory. They and those who followed cleverly refashioned Marx’s theory to explain why blacks fail to thrive in white society.18 It should not escape notice white people were integral to the black struggle for equality going back to abolition. Much like Vincenty, Bell brushes aside this untidy fact asserting, “Whites support civil rights protections for blacks only if those protections would also promote white self-interest and social status”. He views blackness as equivalent to membership in a “permanently oppressed caste”. For white people, “racism is a normal, permanent aspect of life”. For blacks, notions of “equality before the law” is an affront, an insult because systemic white racism fixes blacks in an inescapable oppressed class denied the same rights enjoyed by whites. Therefore, black “moral claims” to equality before the law “are superior to those of whites”.19
Professor Bell, like his CRT replicates, “built his academic career” on “the endless repetition of the claim that whites and white institutions are irremediably racist”. He also embraces Race Traitor, a journal dedicated to the “abolition of whiteness”. Its motto is “Treason to the white race is loyalty to humanity”.20 Bell, like other CRT adherents, insists the American legal system is structurally racist.21 This includes its laws, courts, police, and prisons.22 In addition, “American society at large” is “racist” in its very “construction”. White racism permeates all aspects of American culture and life. This includes its educational, economic, governmental, health care, and religious institutions. Because whites constructed them to promote white supremacy, racism is intertwined with and inseparable from their institutions. Therefore, “oppressed racial groups have both the right and duty to decide for itself” which laws they will obey.23 Looting during summer riot seasons is acceptable because blacks are re-appropriating what whites stole from them through slavery and exploitation.24
Bell condemns and rejects all standards with respect to research methodology as racist constructs. Flouting convention, he eschews source citation contending black oral “storytelling narratives” are more legitimate. Do universities allow white professors to do the same? This carries over in his demand universities hire and promote blacks irrespective of qualifications. Harvard Law always prided itself on hiring professors with law degrees from elite universities, who clerked for the Supreme Court, and worked in a major law firm. In response to pressure from the Black Law Students Association, Harvard hired Bell who met none of these qualifications. He “mocked” them as “exclusionary constructs of a racist white power structure” erected to “deny blacks an opportunity to teach at the nation’s elite schools”.25 Does this hold true for white law school graduates denied employment by Harvard who lack these requisite qualifications? Bell complains, “White society condemns all blacks to quasi-citizenship as surely as it segregated our parents”. Slavery shows what white people did and could do again and “black people will never gain full equality”. Blacks “must confront and conquer” this “reality of our permanent subordinate status”.26
Kathleen Cleaver, once Communications Secretary for the Black Panther Party, is a senior lecturer in law at Emory University, Atlanta, Georgia. She insists the Panthers were part of a “liberation” movement and violence committed by blacks, especially against police, constitutes “righteous resistance” and “self-defense”.27 Is this not what BLM and its surrogates say? Is there a connection between BLM’s claim attacking police is self-defense and the dramatic spike in assaults against officers? Cleaver teaches revolution to overthrow white society in American and Europe is necessary because they built their societies on colonization and enslavement of black and brown peoples. She embraces communist dictatorships as well as Muslim terrorist groups. In short, she finds common cause with anyone who hates America and the white man.28
Lewis R. Gordon, professor of Philosophy, Temple University, joins professors Bell, Freeman, and Cleaver in pushing CRT. Not only is he a member of the Radical Philosophy Association, but he has authored articles for Political Affairs, the “theoretical organ of the American Communist Party”. He teaches, “White America does not see blacks as individuals, but as a threatening ‘existential reality’ waiting to overtake the country”. He argues blacks suffer “humanistic anxieties” resulting not just from past injustices but “modern slavery and racism”. These injustices continue because white Americans refuse to regard blacks “in racial terms in their ‘blackness”. A color-blind society would cause blacks to disappear. He calls for teaching a new African philosophy that rejects Western Philosophy. Professors should view students “as potential agents to be deployed in the service of ‘progressive’ politicians”. Like other CRT adherents, he speaks extensively on “liberation” of blacks from the white society that “cruelly oppresses them”.29 They can only achieve this through revolution and overthrow of all aspects of white society.
This constitutes but a sampling of CRT proponents. They exist on virtually every college campus. White majority public schools are rushing to implement CRT curriculum. How many Americans understand what CRT is? How many know it is the intellectual foundation of BLM? How many know liberal white teachers have been promoting CRT in public schools for some time? CRT and BLM cannot survive a color-blind society. For them, race identifies who is part of the oppressor and oppressed groups. Therefore, they reject Martin Luther King’s call for non-violent resistance and a color-blind society. Yusra Khogali, co-founder of the Toronto, Canada BLM Chapter, declared BLM rejects the goals and tactics of the “old-guard” who led the civil rights movement in the 1960s. They reject notions of equality, integration, and assimilation into mainstream America. Instead, they want to overthrow it.30
CRT is an adaption of Karl Marx’s theory on class conflict and oppression. It teaches that Caucasians are inherently racist as if part of their DNA. They are irredeemably racist unable to escape their history of exploitation, oppression, and enslavement of black and brown people. They built their civilization and wealth on racial expropriation. They maintain comfortable middle and upper class lifestyles by denying blacks a seat at the table. Whites constructed their institutions to ensure hegemony over other races. The police enforce white rule. Therefore, liberation for the black man can occur only when he overthrows white society and all its institutions. This then, is CRT.

Today is the anniversary of D-day, a day that I believe counts as one of the defining moments of “The Greatest Generation”. And as a culture, we’ve sunk a long ways from that caliber of people. Some have even had common sense depart them completely.
White men under attack
I find these words of President Reagan to be wise, inspiring and prophetic.
And to prove it, we have Russian vs Chinese vs woke American recruitment videos
If you watch only one, choose this amazing presentation.
But you know what? That spirit of freedom, she still flies. Remember the restaurant owner in the lockdown state of Michigan under old Jackboots Whitmer? Marlene Pavlos-Hackney is a Polish immigrant who knows what it is like to live under communism and she fought back against the elitist Whitmer and wound up in jail for her efforts.
And yet, Whitmer, as all elitists, rules for thee, not for me.
Oh, look, pushback! Lawsuit pushback! Arizona is doing an election audit, Georgia wants one, Pennsylvania wants one, North Carolina wants to inspect the voting machines. Some of Fauxci’s emails have been released, sort of. I can not wait for someone to start talking about how in 2012 Fauxci did a paper on the effectiveness of HCQ in treating SARS. That weasel needs to go to jail for the rest of his life, or hang him. I’m good with that. CNN #FakeNews has lost 45% of it’s audience. HGTV ranked higher. RINO republicans are taking heavy pushback. Romney was heckled in a airport, Liz Cheney is openly reviled, Brian Kemp was booed at the GOP state convention. We don’t need moderates and sell outs. The time has come for choosing. Sheriffs are changing from Democrat/Communist to Republican because the Communist party embraces and exemplifies lawlessness.
But each of us has a role we can play in defending an protecting freedom. We may never be a high profile case like Marlene, please G-d may we never have to storm the beaches like D-day, but we can confront hypocrisy, we can think critically and not buy into the lies or make excuses for them. We can support and work for MAGA candidates (ordinary run of the mill Repubs don’t cut it any more). Parents and their children are fighting their school boards over critical race theory which is a racist system that teaches our children to hate others based on the color of their skin. Many of the school boards have been taken over by these Communists. And as parents find out, they are fighting back. Children need to learn what an amazing country America is, and what a unique system of government the Constitutional Republic is. They need to be taught what D-day is, and why D-day happened. If they learn things like that we will hopefully never need another one.
Each of us has a role as a defender of freedom, if we embrace that and do it well, we will see our country come round as we save ourselves from the grip of the communism we are on the brink of. I believe there are more of us, the Patriots than there are of the totalitarian loving communists. Well, there are a lot of useful idiots, but hopefully they will catch on. But this is our country, based on G-d’s laws, and for these many years we have lived through good and bad together as Americans. I believe we will pull together again as we face this threat, as we have many others.
I suspect most of The Zelman Partisan’s readers will not be shocked to find out that I consider Democrat/Communist policies in dealing with crime to be utter abject failures. And we are beginning to see some increasingly large failures of the same genre.
First up the required disclaimer. All my children have either four legs and fur, or two legs and feathers. All were home-schooled and are perfectly well behaved, well adjusted fur-children. For the most part. Usually. They only have occasional lapses. But again, I find it necessary to write some thoughts about Democrat/Communist policies that will affect children, and therefore affect society at large. It goes way back, and has spawned all kinds of additional societal ills that just didn’t need to happen. These are fed and nurtured by corrupt Democrat/Communist politicians with their own agendas to advance.
Let’s start going way back to Skittles and Watermelon Arizona ice tea boy who had been suspected of breaking into houses. He later attacked what the #MSM #FakeNews would label a “White Hispanic” named George Zimmerman. Skittles boy had a history of issues with the law-enforcement. But due to the Obama policy of not relaying information about dangerous students of color to law-enforcement to lower statistics of crime committed by them, he was still walking around, burglarizing, and assaulting freely. As was the Marjory Stoneman Douglas attacker. Because like the Wuhan Flu virus numbers, it doesn’t matter to Democrat/Communists what the outcome will be, only how they can get the #MSM to frame the reports, how they frame the narrative.
That trial and media circus gave rise to Burn Loot and Murder if I’m not mistaken.
Same set of circumstances allowed for the “wayward youth” at Marjory Stoneman Douglas to remain free to slaughter some of his classmates, and allowed the Coward of Broward to become a household name. And then it allowed a self-absorbed, unimportant, attention seeking child, #MoneyHogg to slither his way into the limelight for more than his share of the 15 minutes of fame. A child who wasn’t there when it happened, but jumped on his bicycle as I recall, and pedaled furiously towards the school. Ha! You thought I was heading toward Greta Thunberg didn’t you?
And, what changed? Nothing. There is criminal element of society that can break the law without a worry. It won’t be reported, or it will be covered up. No worries. And this will keep them from being stigmatized. Or forced to get help. Or force their parents to take some responsibility.
And what does that get us? A bunch of 6-11 year olds, I have also heard 7-11 year old “children” who car-jacked a guy running for mayor of Atlanta for those who don’t think Keisha Bottoms is corrupt enough for their liking. Now, this to me, is actually kind of amusing. The councilman voted to defund the police, then lost a fight with a bunch of 6 or 7 to 11 year olds who stole his 2016 Mercedes. He complained it took the police 45 minutes to respond. Apparently a social worker was unavailable. But the carjacking waifs knew a kindred spirit when they jacked one. The Democrat is currently under indictment on charges of wire fraud, mail fraud, bank fraud involving the purchase of a Mercedes C300, as well as a Range Rover.
To Democrat/Communists it’s not important that you be good, moral, decent and competent. It’s important that you fill in the right boxes.
And if you check the right victimhood boxes, you have got yourself a “get out of trouble free” card.
And the idiot councilman? He lives to lie, cheat and steal some more another day. Unlike the poor Uber eats driver that was car jacked and murdered by the 13 and 15 year olds in Washington DC. That poor man wasn’t cheating, defrauding, voting to “Defund the Police”, he was just trying to make a living.
He like many innocent victims, pay the price for the votes of idiots like the Atlanta councilman. And what is the Atlanta councilman going to do to make Atlanta safer for law abiding citizens? Press charges? Oh heck no, he’s going to yammer on and on with excuse after excuse for their behavior, so they should be plenty emboldened to try that again. Maybe next time racking up a murder of their own since there were no consequences. And the idiot councilman? No consequences for his actions putting the citizens of Atlanta at greater risk. But he does get to go full on virtue signal for a news cycle!
When virtue signals fail h/t Mike for the meme.
Also included in the But It’s For The Children column, is the story about the rabid 16 year old who tried to stab two girls to death in front of a police officer while bystanders did absolutely nothing to stop it. An armed police officer, with his gun out, who warned her multiple times to drop the knife and quit trying to kill other people. Unlike some of the other incidents nothing new really came out of that except the constant reminder that some basketball player that reportedly falls down in agony when he has a hangnail criticized the police officer for saving two black girls lives that day. And a little dog. #LDLM.
Policies on how to deal with juvenile delinquents changed? None. Statements from leading Democrat/Communist party leaders condemning the violence and lack of responsibility from both the parents and the children involved? None. Media investigations into what the heck has happened to our society that we are seeing an increase in the number of serious crimes by juvenile delinquents and an increase in severity of the crimes committed. Ho hum, yawn, none. Unless of course there is a defensive shooting by a white police officer. Where upon the media will canonize the utes, despite the better than good chance the utes would bash the news reader over the head, steal their purse, wallet and jack their car if give the chance.
And, problems not confronted and dealt with tend to grow.
The latest incident I’ve heard of involves a 12 year old boy and a 14 year old girl who attacked a attendant/worker at the Florida United Methodist Children’s home. The news report says the girl hit the worker with a stick. Hmm, why do I suspect this sounds more like a beaten employee?
But it seems there is a policy called juvenile justice, and restorative justice. The results of that policy are that a 14 year old who had been arrested for stealing dogs, was sentenced to teen court. She failed to comply. She then set 5 fires in a wooded lot which came close to several homes. The department of juvenile justice then decides that felony arson isn’t a serious crime and to return her to her mother. Her mother can’t control her, so she’s back in foster care, she runs away several times, and winds up in this Methodist children’s home. Which according to the good Sheriff is totally incapable of dealing with this kind of criminals. In fact, in March of this year, a 15 year old boy at the group home pled no contest to the manslaughter charge of a security guard. The sheriff’s department was called to the group home around 300 times in 2020. I would say something in the juvenile justice and restorative justice plan is a serious failure. To make it more exciting for the citizens of Volusia county, though they may not know it, is that same children’s home that couldn’t control these two criminals is taking in illegal aliens from the border.
These two bottom feeders (they are not children) fired what actually may have been a AK-47 and a pump shotgun along with some sort of pistol at the deputies. Now, while those on the left scream about safe storage of firearms, may I refer you to the couple of lines further up. The 14 year old female attacked a group home worker with a stick (who knows, it’s the media, it may turn out to be a baseball bat) and she tried to burned down a group of homes in April of this year. She didn’t need a gun, she just took advantage. I have no doubt had the homeowners been home, they would have needed their defensive tools quickly to have protected themselves from the thugs. Because obviously life means nothing to the perpetrators. The 12 year old boy had done something called “transient threats”. Doesn’t sound too bad, right? Well in this case, it meant the 12 year old in foster care since 2016, had threatened to throw a brick at an administrator and also had 5 days later threatened to kill a student, pee and spread his guts all over the bleachers. For that he was suspended for a whole 3 days.
The Sheriff talked about his team watching as the 14 year old totally destroyed the inside of the home owners nice home. She took a baseball bat and smashed furniture, toilets and anything else she cared to. You think she wouldn’t have smashed people?
The 14 year old told the 12 year old they were going to “roll it down like it was GTA”. I understand that is grand theft auto. A game. I remember hearing Lt Col Dave Grossman talk about this in a class. The effect these violent video games have on children’s brains. They did a series of MRIs showing what was happening. He is co-author of a book about this. Stop Teaching Our Kids to Kill : A Call to Action Against TV, Movie and Video Game Violence Written in 1999 I might add.
But you know one of the things that struck me as the good Sheriff talked about this, was his compassion for the homeowners who had done nothing wrong, and his team who had done nothing wrong. He had compassion for the innocent parties who were just trying their best to deal with the #Shiff that liberal policies are creating and emboldening. It seems rare these days to hear anyone express compassion for the innocent people that weren’t doing anything wrong, just minding their business and going about their lives not bothering anyone or anything and have their lives turned upside down by scum like these 12 and 14 year olds.
I think the media was really struggling wanting to side with the criminals as is their usual game plan.
There is a pattern here. And it’s not limited to America, it’s a pattern consistent with criminals that have learned how to play the game.
Children and Arabs in Israel, hamass.
Both the juvenile delinquents in America who know nothing is going to happen to them, whether they are blm, antifa, run of the mill thugs and the Arabs in Israel, both (some) Israeli Arabs and Gazans know the #MSM and the #UN will run cover for them. Like Commie-Kamala bleating about “root causes” excuses will be made for criminal behavior, illegal aliens with long rap sheets will be turned loose to murder again. The un-ending swarm of 3rd world dependents the Democrat/Communist regime is importing to skew voting and force us to support them as they take American jobs. These polices haven’t worked, and they aren’t going to work, but then they weren’t meant to work for our benefit, only the benefit of those seeking to conquer and rule.
Murderous arabs will have a room in their house destroyed. There is now a cease fire with hamass in Israel, and the can will be kicked down the road.
Israel needs to finish the war with hamass. This cease fire will allow hamass to get more rockets from Iran paid for with American money, and build more terror tunnels. Ceasefires don’t work with hamass because they don’t seek peace, they too seek to rule and their behavior and atrocities will be excused by the same people that excuse the behavior of the criminals in the US.
The deferral of serious consequences for young criminals, regardless of color, age and sex needs to end. It’s not helping. They aren’t being reformed, they aren’t changing path. Restorative justice isn’t working.
But the Democrat/Communist party will double down on their failed policies. Because it’s not about actual results, it’s about optics and appearances.
Who is responsible? Kamala Harris, openly bailing rioters out of jail, the media making excuses for criminals with lethal doses of fentenyl in their system who pointed a gun at a pregnant woman’s stomach during a robbery, a pair of 13 and 15 year old car jackers who killed a man, the justice system corrupted by Democrat/Communists and George Soros elected Prosecuting attornies who turn these criminals lose encouraged the 12 and 14 year olds in Volusia County to think they could shoot at deputies with no consequences. As I listened to the 14 year old cry on the deputies body cam I really didn’t feel much sympathy for her. She chose this, she chose to attack a group home worker who tried to stop them from running off, she chose to break in to the nice house, she chose to try to kill deputies, and she chose to ignore their many offers to make contact and to surrender. See, they have learned in the Democrat/Communist America of Biden and Harris, crime carries no consequences. These juvenile thugs are the people that the “Defund the Police” crowd would abandon us to face disarmed. As I understand it, many of the new gun buyers are first time gun buyers. And seeing what is roaming the streets and our neighborhoods increasingly barren of law-enforcement, who can blame them? Because with this kind of predator, it is protect yourself against them, or they will try to kill you.
And after the pair had fired massive amounts of rounds trying to kill the deputies, as soon as the scene was secured they sprang into action to try to save her life. Because they’re law-enforcement.
And the proof is in the trauma bandages.
Here is an excellent press conference with the good Sheriff Mike Chitwood. He is quite plain spoken.
The word Shavuot (or Shavuos) means “weeks.” It celebrates the completion of the seven-week Omer counting period between Passover and Shavuot.
The Torah was given by G‑d to the Jewish people on Mount Sinai on Shavuot more than 3,300 years ago. Every year on the holiday of Shavuot we renew our acceptance of G‑d’s gift, and G‑d “re-gives” the Torah.
Over the last few weeks as I’ve watched events unfold, I began to see a theme. I’d like to start with the Derek Chauvin trial, or as it seems to me, Kangaroo court, now featuring real kangaroos. I’m not going to debate guilt or innocence so much, as commenting on events. Although I will note that Floyd’s toxicology report is pretty revealing. The Oxford treatment center has a page on lethal doses of drugs. Floyd also had sickle cell it seems, and had at some point had covid, high blood pressure and a few other things. He was also the proud owner of a criminal past that included pointing a gun at a pregnant woman’s stomach during a robbery. All of which is apparently enough to qualify him as a rock star to the radical left.
But my observations involve the trial, or rather the lack of one.
They had a sitting Congresswoman with a history of incitement to violence that appropriated Sky Marshals from high risk flights to accompany her sorry butt to Minneapolis. Yes indeed, Sky Marshals that are supposed to be aboard vetted high-risk flights to protect the public. Not to protect “Mad Maxine”. But wait it gets better, she wanted them to accompany her to the “de-fund the police” type atmosphere of the trial. Can’t make this up, can one?
The Transportation Security Administration, which runs the Federal Air Marshal Service, started reassigning agents from “high risk” commercial flights so they could accompany members of Congress instead, a Fox News report says.
This angered some sky marshals, as their primary duty is to protect the public.
Capitol police, and if necessary the US Secret Service, are responsible for protecting lawmakers.
So Crazy Maxine flies to Minneapolis and tells the peaceful rioters if they don’t get the verdict that the mob wants, to get more confrontational. Gee, do you suppose the jury felt intimidated? Old Max decided to double down to her no consequences actions by making remarks about the judge.
The mob, a racist self-serving congresswoman and the propaganda media are the one that meted out “justice” in the Chauvin trial. Did fear of their city burning impact their verdict? How could it not? No, no I don’t know. And neither does anyone else, nor will anyone else because that bell can’t be un-rung.
But America is not the only country that is suffering from justice being snatched by the mob. In Franceistan in April of 2017 a 65 year old Orthodox Jewish woman named Sarah Halimi was snatched from her bed by a muslim neighbor who had lived a floor down for 20 years. Said muslim (nope, name doesn’t matter) had first tried to attack one of his own family members in a different apartment who locked his family’s door and called the police. Thwarted, the muslim “bucket of chum” put on new clothes, crawled out his window to Sarah Halimi’s apartment and began to beat her, calling her “satan”. The Police had arrived in response to the family members call, but they did not enter. More people began calling the police in response to Sarah’s screams giving them the exact location, some muslims called the police and even told them what Koranic verses he was reciting. And yet, the police never entered. Remember folks, when there is trouble, the police are only moments away…. The murderer then threw Sarah out of the window. I’ve not heard, and honestly don’t want to know, if she was still alive at that point.
And Sarah is not the only victim to die in a horrific manner in cultured old Franceistan.
And do you know the sentence the horrific murderer will receive? None. The French courts said since the killer was high on pot at the time, he’s not responsible for his actions. Drunk drivers are sleeping soundly in France tonight.
Last Thursday, three French citizens were brutally killed in a church in Nice, one of them a woman whose throat was slit. This gruesome act, coming barely two weeks after the beheading of Samuel Paty, a history teacher who showed his class cartoons from the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo to illustrate the concept of freedom of speech, has reawakened France to the reality of Islamist terrorism. Since 2012, more than 260 people of all backgrounds have died in terrorist attacks: in a Jewish school, at the Charlie Hebdo headquarters, in a concert hall, in the streets of Nice, in churches, and in police street patrols.
Yet when looking at some of the coverage of the most recent attacks in the United States, and the reaction from leaders like Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the culprit is France itself. French President Emmanuel Macron’s vow to fight “Islamist separatism” has been treated as its own act of barbarism. Most French citizens, however, aware of the reality on the ground, recognize this fight as necessary and overdue.
Make no mistake, it is a problem affecting many in Franceistan. From the Phantom Nation broadcast a couple of weeks ago.
In France in a recent Harris interactive French poll, 49% of those polled would not be upset if the French military took over the country without governmental authorization, took over the country to restore order and safety.
The letter was signed by 20 former French generals and some 1000 former and active military members who denounced the insecurity and Islamism and warned of coming potential civil war. 86% agree that the laws of the French republic no longer apply everywhere. They began to change years ago when there were only 750 or so “no go zones”, no go by police, fire and emergency medical services. Franceistan surrendered her sovereignty. Islamism is not a word used by muslims themselves. There is no extremist small faction, it’s a ploy.
The host’s point being that France is now so overrun by mobs who will riot, and murder if they are unhappy about something, that ordinary citizens do not feel safe. The rule of law and their civilization as they know it is probably well on the path to being over. As mentioned in the “We are on our own” article many Jews are considering Aliyah, as they have been, and have been leaving France for sometime now as the acts of Anti-Semitism increase.
In France the citizens are so afraid of the mobs of their local variant, that normal people, normal citizens are denied justice. In America, as we watch judges refuse to hear cases and juries are intimidated into rendering a sentence that perhaps they might have anyway, but it was not a honest process. Apparently the muslims in Franceistan are longing for their ancient homeland in the area of Bordeaux and Burgundy seeing as how they are killing French citizens. Or what used to be French citizens. In Germany muslims are pining for their ancient homeland of Munich.
Not that America has a lot of room to say much, from sea to shining sea Jews are being attacked with impunity. Maybe they need a group “JewishLivesMatter”? This page has a lot of video embedded, Jewish man brutally assaulted by pro-Palestinian mob in NYC as does this one Jewish and Arab protesters clash in Manhattan. The size of the different mobs is really quite frightening. This is just another flavor of BLM, and my guess is the funding and cues come from the same source. Anyone remember just a few short years ago when a contingent of BLM, those deep students of geopolitical history spent the large sum of money to travel to Israel to meet with their brethren the Falestian Hamass? Oh yes, there is more terrorism on the way. Barry 3.0’s front man the confused Biden has followed orders and appointed only anti-Israel and anti-Semitic people to positions since he’s been elected.
You know all those chants of “From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be free?” Take a look at the map, I’ve marked the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea. What lies between in? Oh, all of Israel. In a broadcast of the radio show Jerusalem Lights Rabbi Chaim Richman makes the point from the river to the sea is a call to genocide and the media and politicians let it roll on by.
From the river to the sea
To those Jews living in other countries, they are beginning to think they might not actually be safe there. Perhaps they are remembering how the Jews in Europe left it until a bit too late. So perhaps it’s time to make Aliyah? Ahh, Aliyah. To the one tiny Jewish nation state in the whole wide world. The one place where most certainly a Jew should feel safe to wear a Kippah, to pray openly, to observe Shabbat and practice the mitzvot. There are around 50 muslim majority countries in the world, but one tiny little Jewish one. One tiny little Jewish nation is one too many for some.
And so many people have what I would consider a misguided opinion of what is going on in Israel. Why would that be I wonder?
And I would guess, the same people that think there is Israeli apartheid are the same ones that think the Fauxci muzzle is effective at stopping a virus. Because that kind of news, and those kinds of opinions come from the same kind of people. Yeah, Israel is really bad with apartheid. #ApartheidFail
Arab rights in Israel (not Gaza)
Brigitte Gabriel can give you a crash course in Islam which may clear things up a bit.
This is not complicated. This is a religious war, and it is a war for freedom from terrorism. It is a war not to live under submission and pay the jitzia. That’s why muslims can pray at Har HaBayit (the Temple Mount) and Jews and Christians can’t. But you see, the left is so apathetic to religion now, them being “woke” and all, that religious wars and freedom doesn’t trip their triggers. So it’s packaged and sold other ways. In America it’s “systemic racism” in Europe it is flat “Anti-Semitism” but it’s Europe and they don’t care. In Israel it’s the poor pitiful Falestinians, and yet if you look at the rights they have, and they have members in Knesset and the Israeli Supreme Court that doesn’t really pass the smell test. If you don’t care to believe me and want to do your own research, let me introduce you to Palestinian Media Watch. Yeah, I know what you heard the arabs say on cnn and msnbc. Do you know what they said to the arab world? Remember what Brigitte told you about Arafat and Oslo.
Someone that gets it right is the Bolt Report from Australia.
Israel too faces the mobs, and the police there also fear the media and attacks. If you watch only one video on all of this page, watch this one. #Kenosha In Israel only worse.
Life is very very cheap to the pieceful falestinians…there is a very very revealing telephone call between the IDF and Hamass telling them to vacate a tower before it is bombed. You know they do that right? They call up and warn the residents before they bomb a building in Gaza. Gaza does not do that before they’ve rained down the over 4000 rockets on Israel. Basically Israel was told “Bomb away, we don’t care”. ‘Shocking’ Phone Call Between IDF and Gazan Reveals ‘Entire Conflict in a Nutshell’
There is a cease-fire now, requested by the blundering buffoon pretending to be President of the United States. The result of this will be the continuation of the aggression by hamass. Who will soon have even more reason to attack because they are being given more money by Tliar, Omar, the Occasional-Cortex and the rest of the squat, the Demoncrats are quite Anti-Semitic now even if not everyone recognizes that. But ultimately, it is the House of Congress that hold purse strings isn’t it? They control if the arabs that murder Jews in their own land get nice big paychecks.
I have long maintained that Israel is often a “crystal ball” for America. Those things you see happening in Israel that the left so roundly condemns? They will before long be happening in America. Not just to Jews, but to all Americans. Jews are just usually the Canary in the coal mine.
To those that aren’t really all that sure that Israel is deserving of support, may I just ask you; what other issues do you agree with Ilan Oman, Rashida Tliar, and the Occasional-Cortex and Bernie Sanders? You believe there should be reparations for slavery? You think BLM is justified in burning towns, pulling people out of their cars are beating them to death? You think it is justified to pull down statues that involve our country’s history? You believe diners on the street deserve to be attacked? You think that America is systemically racist and deserves to be destroyed? Well, if you can not think of one single other issue that you agree with the radical left on, other than perhaps Israel isn’t really all that innocent, you might want to see if perhaps there is some information missing that might affect your opinion. And if you think Israel should just be left on their own to deal with hamass and the pieceful falestians, ok. I can accept that too. But when they go in and clean house, and finally put an end to this un-ending nightmare of arab aggression, as they need to do, then perhaps be kind enough to keep your condemnation to yourself?
People say regarding the giving of the Torah on Shavuot, do you need G-d to tell you how to live? Do you think the world needs some god to tell them how to live?
Yes, yes I do. Because “justice” being determined by fear of a mob is not justice.
When I was young, Polish jokes were the rage. Every country has their own style of jokes along the same lines, in Ireland around the same time I believe it was Kerry man jokes, about County Kerry. And then there is Chelm. Top 10 Jokes about Chelm https://www.aish.com/j/fs/Top-10-Jokes-about-Chelm.html
But of late it’s been some of those from Poland that have been some lions at the forefront of the coming battle. And I do believe we are headed for one. The signs aren’t hard to see that danger looms. Holocaust Remembrance Day this year suddenly became “Climate Day”, with no mention of the oddity by the lame stream media. Odd Kamala’s Jewish husband didn’t mention it. Seems a bit tone deaf.
In another display of “I forgot to remember” for the Biden Regime Yom HaShoah this year ended on Thursday, April 8th at sun down. “Day of Holocaust and Heroism Remembrance“. As in the Warsaw ghetto uprising. As in that’s the day Beijing Biden’s handlers decide to trot him out to tell us “No right is absolute”. And since in communism that includes the right to life, regardless of the age of the human, I suppose that’s another one of those things he tells us without really meaning to.
And if Jews had any doubts as to the Communist/Democrats sentiments towards them, I should think that Biden and his gun control lies that spewed forth today put paid to that. https://townhall.com/columnists/johnrlottjr/2021/04/08/bidens-many-false-claims-on-gun-violence-n2587609
The beauty of being a communist is the media is your propaganda arm so you just have to be close “enough for government work”, as my Dad used to say, in your statements, actions and such. But once in a while the D/Cs (Democrat/Communists) tell such a whopper even “Circle-Back Psaki” has to circle back so fast you kind of wonder if she ever tips over.
So we have Yom HaShoah Ve-Hagevurah, and Biden’s handlers are starting to gear up by appointing this bit of floatsom as head of the ATF, or as Beijing Biden called it, the AFT. I believe Tucker Carlson lays out what Beijing’s handlers have chosen.
Sometimes I wonder if people really believed their Unions when they were told to vote for Biden as him really wanting to confiscate guns was just a right wing talking point.
The thing about some of these people from Poland is they know what living under a tyrannical government is like. They’ve seen this movie.
In America we have Marlena Pavlos-Hackney, a Polish immigrant who owns a bistro and has run afoul of “Jackboots” Whitmer and Dana Nessel who both have their panties in a twist because someone they view as a peasant who dares to try to save her business and support herself defied them! THEM! How DARE she!
And perhaps saving the best for last, a Polish priest who ran the gestapo out of his church.
And the little Aryan blonde just keeps talking, she can’t conceive that someone that is suppose to be afraid of her is standing up to her tyrannical little lecture. And she just keeps blathering on and on. But she was dressed very fitting. Did you notice she was wearing a modern day version of the jackboots? Oh yes she was!
These Poles that have come out of communism know it when they see it, and it is no laughing matter. They are refusing to be cowed down. That mindset is key. We just had Pesach, Passover and in my Haggadah the are some things other than the Sedar service. One of them is a little section on how the Jews became slaves in the first place. Through a trick. The Jews had become very numerous, and the Egyptian Communists feared them. Ooops, just Egyptians. They came up with a building project that all good Egyptians would want to participate in, it was their patriotic duty to take the experimental injection sorry wrong column, help with the building project. In the beginning everyone showed up and worked, but shortly it was only Jews who showed up and they were no longer paid for their labor. Then they were greeted by armed taskmasters, and there was no longer any choice of being patriotic or not. You worked or else. And with the handy covid contract tracing they knew, oh sorry, again. Anyway, they knew where to find those who didn’t show up. But one thing I heard on a radio show, was talking about the slave mentality and that is a mindset we can not allow ourselves to sink into.
But for all the Democrat Communists declarations that the Conservatives are anti-Semitic, that is just one more of their lies. There are anti-Semites in any party, I’m sure. However the Biden regime has been sending some pretty clear signals with the changes to “climate day” and announcing his gun control scam on a day arguably made possible by German “common sense gun control”. That’s twice.
‘Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three times is enemy action’ ~~ Ian Fleming
The Justice Department, within 30 days, will issue a proposed rule to help stop the proliferation of “ghost guns.”
It will be interesting to see how they intend to do this. Redefine unfinished frames/receivers as “firearms”? They already have a problem with finished lowers. Not to mention semi-auto pistol frames.
The Justice Department, within 60 days, will issue a proposed rule to make clear when a device marketed as a stabilizing brace effectively turns a pistol into a short-barreled rifle subject to the requirements of the National Firearms Act.
I make odds of three-to-one that the proposed rule will be virtually identical to the last attempt, with all the flaws intact. Basically, It’s a short-barreled rifle if we say so.
The Justice Department, within 60 days, will publish model “red flag” legislation for states.
I wonder if they’ve found some ways to prevent the “Florida Effect,” where homicides and suicides both went up after passage of a “red flag” law.
The Administration is investing in evidence-based community violence interventions.
Even the “details” of this are so vague that it’s hard to say exactly what they mean. Other than it looks like pork for Dimocrat social justice weasels. I have a better idea; a simple three step plan.
The Justice Department will issue an annual report on firearms trafficking.
Frankly, all of this is old, recycled fails. I’m a little surprised at the lack of imagination in Gropin’ Joe’s puppeteers. Just off the top of my head, I came up with four things they could do, without any new legislation, that would disrupt all commercial sales. Three would require publication in the Federal Register, and one wouldn’t need even that. For obvious reasons — I know that congresscritters read my columns — I’m not publicizing them. But if Mo Brookss staffer want to talk about how to prevent them, they know how to reach me.
My heart goes out to the brave men and women of the Armed Forces and Law Enforcement. You put your lives on the line to protect America from enemies foreign and domestic. Your countrymen have betrayed you. They have handed her over to these people who hate this country and despise everything for which you stand and fight.
At the start of each New Year, pundits and commentators on the passing scene typically offer a retrospective best and worst of list for the preceding year. This is my offering for the Ten Biggest Whoppers of 2020:
1. Mostly peaceful protests.
2. Two weeks to flatten the curve.
3. Social media supports the 1st Amendment.
4. Black lives matter to Black Lives Matter.
5. Follow the science.
6. Emulate your political “leaders”; always wear a mask and social distance.
7. Fair and honest elections.
8. AOC is not an eighth grade girl blogging from her bedroom.
9. Nancy Pelosi does not sleep with the undead.
10. Joe Biden is president.
Growing up in America, like anyone else, I was an avid consumer of pop-culture entertainment, film, and music. By my university years, I perceived the Left was using these medium to inculcate unsuspecting youth with their subversive “values”. Their goal is to deconstruct Judeo-Christian based Western Civilization. Like shop-a-holics, credit card in one hand phone in the other watching the HSN Channel, people seemed incapable of resisting indoctrination. Too many bought into the value system and worldview peddled by cultural and political revolutionaries without question. Even more insidious are public school teachers serving as their political commissars in classrooms. Has there been a ripple effect to this brainwashing?
I have been a Formula 1 racing fan, the world’s premier motorsport, since childhood. My favorite teams included Lotus and McLaren. Several years ago, I gravitated toward Mercedes with her glittering silver cars trimmed in teal. Englishman Lewis Hamilton won his first World Championship with McLaren and then six more with Mercedes. Wikipedia, perhaps the worst source for information, lists Hamilton as black. However, he is actually mixed-race. His dad is black from the Caribbean and his mother white from England where Lewis was born and raised. Over the years, I collected Hamilton apparel, biography, autographed picture, and die-cast racecar. However, because he chose to inject politics into the sport, my Hamilton memorabilia is no more. I have binned it all. Last year, Hamilton decided he was an angry black American, from South Central Los Angeles no doubt, who took up the cause of black Americans BLM claims the police are systematically murdering on behalf of white America. This millionaire jet-setting bon vivant was soon sporting BLM shirts and hats, kneeling sans American flag, and raising the Marxist clenched fist before each race. However, that was not enough. He publicly called out as racists, drivers who did not kneel with him. He forced them to wear black T-shirts reading “End Racism” during the host country’s national anthem. Formula 1’s panjandrums decreed that racetracks and buildings display slogans about racism. However, that was still not enough. Mercedes repainted their shimmering silver cars an angry flat black with BLM-like slogans on the car’s halo device. I was stunned. BLM, started by three Marxists, is a domestic terrorist organization with the blood of police officers and citizens on its hands. Heading into a new season, I wondered how much of BLM’s Kool Aid motorsports fans had imbibed. Time to find out.
I joined several Face Book Formula 1 Groups. One gentleman lamented the manner in which Hamilton has injected politics into the sport causing “divisions” between fans. I noted the hypocrisy of Hamilton and Formula 1 claiming to be fighting oppression while holding races in countries with state sanctioned slavery and in Islamic states where women are second-class citizens. Mr. Qundiso Mpofu challenged me to name such countries. I listed several in Africa, the Middle East, and Red China. Mr. Mpofo insisted there was as much oppression against blacks in the United States as in any other country. Then he made the jaw-dropping claim there was as much slavery in the U.S. as in China! I suggested he had taken leave of his senses and asked him to provide me examples. No response was forthcoming. He was alone among black Hamilton fans who equated criticism of BLM with racism.
On the FormulaNerds page, a member also bemoaned the degree to which Hamilton’s political activism was damaging the sport. I agreed noting, although Hamilton is a great driver worthy of the hype, I could no longer support him. Four members of my family served in the U.S. Military and two, including me, in Law Enforcement. I feel betrayed by his support of BLM. For a week, members responded with “likes”. Then a Liston Alexander asked how, by standing against racism and racial oppression, Hamilton had betrayed me. He asked if the “cellphone pictures were faked”? He chided “people like you” with “law enforcement experience” see the world differently than others, meaning blacks. I asked him to what cellphone images he referred and who was committing acts of oppression and violence against blacks in America’s cities. It is not police gunning down blacks in Baltimore, Chicago, Detroit, Oakland, and Philadelphia among others. Does Hamilton speak out about oppression of blacks by other blacks? He has thrown support behind BLM whose message is the white race is inherently (born that way) racist, they constructed America’s institutions to preserve white hegemony by suppressing blacks, and the white race is waging a war of genocide against the black race, with police their instrument of extermination. Considering these are monstrous lies, guaranteed to generate hatred and violence between races, how could I support Hamilton?
Liston Alexander responded writing I had no empathy or understanding of the centuries of systemic racism inflicted on African-Americans. He claimed the only terrorists in America are the “armed supporters of Satan who stormed the Capitol building” and for me to shift the blame to BLM for anything, and black people, who are the “victims tells me exactly who you Are” [capitalization in the original]. I responded writing I owed Mr. Alexander an apology presuming he was an educated intelligent person but that was clearly not the case. I noted the greatest oppression of blacks occurs between Mauritania in the west to Somalia in the east and Chad in the north to Zimbabwe in the south. In addition, I had grown up partly in Baltimore and Philadelphia’s inner cities, and attended majority black schools. Whites did not oppress blacks they were terrified of them. BLM never mentions this. No response.
An argument commonly employed by supporters is to say they do not endorse BLM’s Marxist goals and violence only its struggle against racism. It does not work that way. As the Monster from Austria [MFA] built the National Socialist German Workers Party, he attracted Germans with disparate grievances. Germany’s military was its pride and joy. Veterans believed politicians stabbed them in the back while still on battlefield at the end of the Great War tarnishing them with the stain of defeat. Soldiers wanted the military returned to its former glory. Germans crushed by the burden of war reparations, as well as union workers, believed MFA would restore the economy and jobs. Others rejected the war-guilt clause of the Treaty of Versailles and many Germans feared the rise of the Communist Party in the Weimar Republic. Of course, there was the bizarre cult that saw Jews as subhuman and poison to German culture. People representing these factions found themselves supporting the Nazi Party vigorously or as the lesser among several evils.2 History demonstrates that one cannot disaggregate responsibility for the evil a group does by declaring support for only part of its actions. This would be like declaring, although one opposes lynching, nevertheless, they joined the Klan because it supports strong families. In addition, sans support for the NAZIS by these factions, they would not have come to power. This is why, after the war, the Allies did not allow Germans who were members of the Party to say they never supported persecution of and ultimately mass murder of Jews. Who then, is Black Lives Matter?
Former police officer and currently a forensic criminologist Ron Martinelli, Ph.D. writes of BLM, “This is an organized and well-funded, media savvy, national, and international movement, based upon revolutionary Marxist ideology. The movement seeks to systematically attack, diminish, and eventually overthrow the rule of law and the democratic form of government to free whom they see to be the oppressed masses”.3 How can those supporting BLM, like American professional athletes and Lewis Hamilton, not know this? They support an organization seeking to overthrow the U.S. system of government in favor of a Marxist dictatorship. They say so. BLM and its “ancillary militant groups and organizations” drive to defund law enforcement, in order to upend the rule of law, is preparatory to overthrowing American’s “democratic way of life”.4 If this is true, how can so many people, black and white, support [S]BLM[K]? Could the answer be what I have written is false? To answer this question, we repair to BLM’s Webpage from 2015.
Three female Marxists founded BLM in 2013 following the jury’s acquittal of George Zimmerman charged by the state [Florida] with second-degree murder in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin. BLM used the police shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri [2014], as the vehicle to catapult it to national prominence.5 BLM’s founders, Alicia Garza, Patrisse Cullors, and Opal Tometi, used rare police shootings of unarmed black men to claim these shootings were, instead, the norm and represented a monstrous conspiracy by the white to exterminate the black race. Garza, a lesbian Marxist, began the call for Black Lives Matter on Face Book. Cullors, also a lesbian Marxist, joined the nascent organization while running a convict “advocacy” organization in prisons. Tometi, a Marxist immigrant from Nigeria, ran an advocacy group for black immigrants.6 In 2015, BLM’s website consisted of history, a mission statement, and various political declarations. They asserted white cops were waging a war of terrorism against the black race. Their credo under “We Affirm That All Black Lives Matter” clearly explains “Black lives matter is an ideological and political intervention in a world where Black lives are systematically and intentionally targeted for demise. It’s an affirmation of Black folk’s contributions to this society, our humanity, and our resilience in the face of deadly oppression”.7 Systemized and intentional means; people organize a process to achieve a specific goal through methods standardized to the point they become a replicable system. It requires an objective and metrics by which those managing the system can measure progress toward that goal and a definition of what accomplishing that goal looks like. Intentional means individuals deliberately created the plan and system with a specific goal in mind.8 Therefore, BLM argues leaders within the white race decided to exterminate the black race. They created a standardized plan to achieve their goal (systematic), methods to ensure its success (institutionalized), and a means (the police). The white race has purposed to commit genocide against the black race according to BLM’s webpage (if they have not sanitized it yet). BLM affirms its right to fight back by any means. They mean killing police officers and race war.9 What do they mean their movement is “ideological”? Clicking on text boxes quickly provides an answer.
Under “Black Villages” it reads “We are committed to disrupting the Western prescribed nuclear family structure requirement supporting each other as extended families and ‘villages’ that collectively care for one another and especially ‘our’ children to the degree that mothers parents, and children are comfortable”.10 Other textboxes contain militantly feminist, homosexual, and “transgendered” (sic) statements. BLM is committed to dismantling the traditional Judeo-Christian family structure replacing it with a lesbian ruled matriarchy wherein hermaphroditic men serve their interests like worker bees. They declare, “We are working to [re]build the Black Liberation Movement”.11 Liberation from what? In the 1960s, the Black Power Movement, a liberation movement, founded by Stokely Carmichael, Malcom X, and others broke with Martin Luther King over his insistence on non-violent resistance and universal brotherhood. They preached gathering arms to execute violent revolution and enact revenge on the white race with separation being their ultimate objective.12 The Black PowerMovement’s view of the white race as an irredeemable enemy and call for violent revolution, with separation into a black nation lines up with today’s BLM movement.
Calls for healing, reconciliation, and unity are contrary to the worldview of the BLM movement. They despise notions of black life’s “fate in America decided inevitably by white people”. Liberation is freedom from “the power of whites” who have no future in their world.13 BLM denounces “buy black” campaigns because they ignore “our sisters queer, and trans (sic) blacks”. They affirm, “The lives of black queer and trans (sic) folk, disabled folks, black undocumented folks” and black prison inmates “along the gender spectrum”. They assert black poverty is the result of state directed genocide. Blacks in prison are innocent victims of “state violence” and “Black queer and trans (sic) folk bear a unique burden from a hetero-patriarchal society that disposes of us like garbage and simultaneously fetishes us and profits off of us and this is state violence”. Their slogan is “justice, liberation, and peace”, identical to the slogans of communist guerillas in Africa, Asia, and Latin America.14 Knowingly or not, anyone who dons BLM apparel, raises a clenched fist, or takes a knee metaphorically spitting on the American flag, lends support to BLM’s claim white people are beyond salvation and their call to race-war.
I understand the pique of blacks at my critique. Pathologies afflicting black cities include high rates of unemployment, poverty, crime, drug use, school dropouts, and unwed mothers. BLM and its supporters have invested too deeply in white oppression narratives as the cause of these pathologies to countenance contrary explanations. Racism is the root cause of their lagging academic and employment accomplishment, compared to Asians and Hispanics. If not for the white race using its institutions and police to hold him down, they would succeed like everyone else. Black crime rates are no higher than other races; the police simply target only them for enforcement. Challenging BLM’s assertions, I encountered anger and brick wall like resistance to the truth. It is easier to blame scapegoats than accept perhaps to some degree; pathologies plaguing inner cities might be self-inflicted. Equally, I understand the pique of whites. From them I rob any rationale for purging their “white-guilt” through self-hatred and prostration before blacks, believing they rightfully deserve the hatred, opprobrium, and debasement BLM hurls at them. I take away the validity of “deconstructing” their whiteness through acts of self-flagellation.
Why do whites submit to debasement and humiliation by BLM and its allies? Why are they sock-puppets spewing the propaganda of those who hate them? What has so annealed them to the point they cannot be reached? Two culprits come to mind. Had pop-culture and public education not first fertilized their minds with the manure of lies and evil propaganda, America would not today be harvesting such poisoned fruit.

1414 BLM Webpage. I am not writing from memory. Not only did I take notes, I downloaded and copied their 2015 webpage.
You know when you’re a child, lots of things seem like really really good ideas. For example selling your little sister to put the money towards a pony. Writing your own excuse to skip gym class/recess because it’s freezing, or anything else, by not only writing the note, but also signing it. In printing because you haven’t learned how to write in cursive yet. I hadn’t actually figured out how I was going to explain my parents lack of skill in that particular department. But you kind of out grow that sort of thinking where you think you can just pull some boneheaded stunt and no one will see through it, or that there might be a need to anticipate things that could go wrong and different potential outcomes. You know the old failing to plan is planning to fail concept? Yeah most kids start growing out of that by 2nd, 3rd grade.
You know who never outgrows that idiotic alternate universe kind of thinking? Progressives, leftists. Reality doesn’t inhabit their world, so lying to people has no consequences. Forcing people to live in your unrealistic and imaginary paradigm is kind and compassionate. No matter how much you force them through tyranny, and no matter what they think or feel, the democrat\communist will try their level best to force you into their demented playhouse.
And the thing is, some of these brainless/brain-dead ideas they have, would cause you to think you are reading a column from The Onion or The Babylon Bee because no one could be that stupid. But you would be wrong.
For example, if a sane person hears “Defund the police” they might say, “Excuse me, I mis-heard, you said DEFEND the police correct”? A leftist will say “Yeah man, defund the police, they’re evil”. A democrat/communist will say “Ok, as soon as we get rid of the local police that are made up of community members we’ll bring in the national police force barry sotero talked about that have no ties or relationship with a community”
The woke
But grown ups will realize there is going to be a consequence. Which is how you know the mayor of New York City and his very stupid wife are not grown ups, or at least wise mature people.
Hizzoner then handed off the question to McCray, who said, “There’s no question that it was important to move more funds to youth and social services.”
McCray said the mayoral coronavirus-recovery Task Force on Racial Inclusion and Equity, which her husband appointed her to co-chair with Deputy Mayor J. Phillip Thompson, conducted a survey that showed “more resources for our young people was right up there” with the most-requested assistance.
“Even without those responses, I talked to my husband about it, and I encouraged him to find — help us find — ways to do that because you know, it’s something I know from my heart,” she said.
Shootings in New York City doubled in 2020 and were up 75 percent last month compared to a year prior. Burglaries have also increased, and violent, unprovoked crimes against Asians have become endemic.
“As attacks on Asian American communities continue, we’re asking New Yorkers to show up for their neighbors and intervene when witnessing hateful violence or harassment. I know that can be frightening when you aren’t sure what to do or say, but you can learn,” New York City’s First Lady Chirlane McCray wrote on Twitter March 6. “Fear is a normal feeling when stepping into a confrontation, but being prepared can help.”
And then Mrs De blasio helps you deal with being prepared to physically intervene in an assault that is taking place in front of you. She seems to get her intervention techniques from a web site called “Hollaback” https://www.ihollaback.org/. No, I can’t make that up. They do offer in person and interactive classes to prepare you to intervene in violent situations. But you need to plan your day wisely so you’ll have enough time for the class. Because as best as I can tell, the class lasts an hour. A whole HOUR! But it could be a wise investment of your time, as you will now feel empowered to step into these violent situations with such techniques as distracting the criminal beating the life out of some poor soul, or raping a woman and walk up to the victim and say “Scuse me old chap, I say, have you got the time?” <<Ok, that’s fluffed up, you just walk up and ask them the time. Then you should document it, so film as the person has the last few seconds of life beaten out of them, or as a woman is left in a huddled humilated mess, but Mrs. De Blasio does caution you not to release the video without the victim’s permission. Then you delay for a bit, then maybe later go back and check on the survivors “I say, sorry about that brutal assault your suffered” Then offer to help them contact the police if they need it. This apparently will make them feel valued. It’s ok to delay this step if your confidence is low. I guess your confidence won’t be low if you decide to give step 5 a go, because that is confront the aggressor directly.
After all, after the defunding of police initiated in 2020, violent crime in New York City has skyrocketed.
By the end of 2020, NYPD reported a 97% increase in shooting incidents compared to 2019. Homicides increased by 45%.
The 2019 “Bail reform” law has not helped matters at all. The result of bail reform, according to NYPD Commissioner Dermot Shea, is that 90 percent of arrestees for gun crimes are released right back on the streets.
NYPD statistics list 20 arrests for alleged anti-Asian hate crimes in 2020. Most of the suspects were black.
I wonder if the fact that their daughter has rioted with blm, shut down streets and bridges caused the Asian-American community to doubt the sincerity of the deBlasios? Seeing as how the mayor and his wife have made blm a protected class.
New York Mayor Bill de Blasio’s attempt to participate in an anti-Asian crime vigil at Union Square this Friday fell by the wayside when the rallygoers reportedly heckled him and chased him away.
Video footage from the event showed him trying to express his solidarity with all Asian Americans as some of the onlookers kept shouting “what are you going to do about it?”
You know what role His Wokeness does approve of using police to fill? Thought Police, Bill de Blasio Wants NYPD to Visit People to Warn over Non-Criminal ‘Hurtful’ Conduct
NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio said the NYPD could visit those accused of racism or discrimination, “even if something is not a criminal case.”
….
The reporter followed the response by asking how the Mayor would view cases where the lines are burry. “[If] it’s something that’s not a criminal case,” she asked, “how would the NYPD confront someone if it’s not criminal? Would they have a conversation with them to say, ‘Hey, that’s actually not cool?’”
“Well, that’s exactly what happens. Whether again, it’s NYPD or it could be other agencies as well, but NYPD is a great example,” de Blasio said. “One of the things officers are trained to do is to give warnings. If someone has done something wrong, but not rising to a criminal level, it’s perfectly appropriate for an NYPD officer to talk to them to say that was not appropriate.”
So, it’s something like you see some poor soul being assaulted by one or two (or more) viscous thugs. You walk up and ask the nearly unconscious victim if they have the time. They barely mumble their phone was stolen. You could then say to the aggressor “I say old chappie, don’t you think that poor old fill in the blank nationality has about had it?” The aggressor then stops stabbing/pummeling/raping/beating <<circle appropriate style of assault, and whips out the stolen cell phone and dials 9-1-1. “Hello, NYPD? I’d like you to send one of the three remaining officers to central park, I’ve been micro-aggressed. No, I don’t want one of flipping de Blasio’s social workers, this is serious.”
Dispatch: Dispatch to Adam-12
This is Adam-12 go ahead.
Adam-12 we have a report of micro-agression in Central Park. A man was beating a insert gender or lack thereof here to death when a bystander following the de Blasio rule attempted to intervene and asked the time.
Adam 12: Dispatch are we going out on a homicide call for a fool that followed that bird brained mayor’s wife social engineering scheme?
Dispatch: Sorry Adam-12, no it’s the assailant that called in, he was microaggressed by the man he is now beating to death, but he wants you to come out and take a complaint in case the man that interfered survives. The other assault victim didn’t.
Adam 12: Um, sort of busy right now Dispatch. Mayor’s lovely daughter, the one that looks like a cockatoo, started a riot at one of the two stores left on 5th Avenue, and it is on fire. They didn’t have the shoes she wanted in the color she wanted so she called in her BLM buddies and the store is burning
Uh huh, she’s a real peach.
Dispatch: I admire your courage Adam-12, but remember the de Blasio rule, micro-aggressions and offences lead to the spread of systemic racism and white supremacy. The riot on what’s left of 5th Avenue is mostly peaceful anyway. Probably won’t last long, there was only two stores left. Everyone else fled years ago.
So the insane (what you call it when you keep doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results) communists disarm law abiding citizens, dispose of big parts of their police department and it never occurred to them that crime might soar? In a communist world, they keep telling the same lies, they keep trying the same failed policies and expecting the results to be what they want. Because they’ll do it right, this time. And yes, de Blasio has been up front about his communist policies. https://rumble.com/vbzwqb-bill-de-blasio-takes-the-mask-off-admits-hes-a-communist.html
And yet, they are shocked, shocked when law-abiding citizens don’t like being the target of criminals and don’t want to lay down and just take it like the Europeans do.
Communism is slavery, always has been, always will be. And we, we are meant to be a free people. There are many that are deluded, confused and fooled by the mainstream media and baseless hatred stirred up by the #MSM, #FakeNews and social media’s cancel culture. They don’t understand what is headed our way. All they know is “Orange man bad”. They are incapable of discussing policy or like the de Blasios, looking down the road and seeing the consequences of their actions. I kind of feel sorry for the people of NYC, but not very much. He got elected somehow.
But Pesach is coming, Passover, the time of leaving slavery. You know, the plagues went on for about 10 months, you’d have thought the Egyptians would have got a clue by then wouldn’t you? But like those voting Democrat/Communist they want G-d removed from the public arena, from private lives and from the world if they could pull it off. Fools, who do they think created this world?
In our lives, we each have “matzah moments,” moments in which we experience the blessings of life. Moments when we feel truly free and liberated. We also have “bitter herb” moments, moments in which we feel the bitterness of challenges and difficulty.
The bitter herbs are part of life. Every person experiences some measure of hardship and challenge. The “free” person is one who is not enslaved by life’s difficult challenges, but rather grows from them. The bitter experiences of life, when approached with faith and courage, can bring out the greatest potential of the human being.
Yet, initially, the matzah and the bitter herbs are eaten separately. Because in the moment of pain, we often don’t see any redeeming factor. In the moment of challenge, all we see is difficulty. Only after the fact, once we overcome the challenge, once we attain freedom, can we look back and view the past suffering as a step toward freeing our deepest spirit. From our perspective, the pain and the freedom cannot mix. We therefore eat the matzah and the bitter herbs separately.
And then we make a sandwich.
We remind ourselves that there was was a time, when the Holy Temple stood in Jerusalem, when spirituality was easily accessible. At that time, a person like Hillel could combine the matzah and the bitter herbs. He could combine the suffering with the salvation. At the very moment that he was experiencing the challenge, he could feel that his challenge was part of a sandwich. His challenge was an integral part of the free person he would become.
The Jew living in spiritual exile may not be able to feel that the challenges in his life are part of a bigger story of freedom. However, he can and should remember Hillel’s perspective. Eating the sandwich will remind him that the bitterness of life is the catalyst for redemption.
Ahhh, being an illegal immigrant has it’s privileges! It probably comes with a fancy schmancy credit card too.
It seems illegal immigrants that cross the border (that are caught or turn themselves in) are given a rapid covid test. And if they are positive? They are turned loose and advised to ask one of the non-governmental groups there about finding a place to quarantine. Don’t want to do that? Here’s your bus ticket.
I understand someone asked “Circle back” Psaki how many constitute a crisis since an increase of 45% of illegal immigrants pouring across the border doesn’t constitute a crisis but only a challenge. “Circle back” snapped something about not having to meet their bar. Huh?
But it’s just all spontaneous! I mean people are just up and pouring in (for free stuff, see previous column). It’s all grassroots! It’s all AstroTurf!
So, if you’re an American citizen, you have been threatened into wearing masks, illegals can pour in without wearing masks, they are given a mask I believe, but they aren’t forced to wear it. Probably a violation of their civil rights. If you’re an American citizen you may have watched your job or your business go down the crapper of history thanks to medical whores like fauci and birx, the communist propaganda mainstream media and the socialist-demoncratic party. Due to the extreme threat of the pandemic doncha know? But if you’re an illegal immigrant? Here’s your free bus ticket, paid for by the schleps recycling bottles to feed their families. As the employment situation for American citizens grows bleaker the biden-harris-obama team import more illegals to compete for fewer jobs that are available. Again, thanks to medical whores fauci and birx.
Your children, zoom class. Illegal immigrant children? American taxpayer funded in class learning. And you know who doesn’t make a peep? The teachers union.
American citizens, yeah for covid we must track them! It’s a pandemic doncha know? Civil rights must be forfeited. A covid positive illegal immigrant? Here’s your bus ticket to Baltimore, check back in for your hearing in 4 months. You’re good, your bus is to the left.
But some states have had it. Some states are now going to treat their taxpaying citizens as good as the illegal immigrants have it. The free countries of Florida and South Dakota have been, but now Texas and Mississippi are reopening!
And in a completely hypocritical response Beijing Biden slammed them. The man who is importing hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants with no background checks (because they aren’t American citizens wanting to buy and handgun to defend themselves from mostly peaceful rioters or unknown individuals pouring into the country) covid positive, carrying who knows what other diseases is complaining that governors are going to treat their citizens like, well, citizens.
How does Beijing Biden expect us to pay for all these people if we can’t work, right?
Jews. Guns. No compromise. No surrender.
