There was so much rioting and looting in Los Angeles and Chicago, you’d think Caitlin Clark had just been named Sports Illustrated Athlete of the Year.
One of the main reasons I so value free speech is that it helps you identify the idiots.
A dumb—- can remain silent, and we would give him the benefit of the doubt. But let him try to talk, like L.A. protesters/rioters/No Kingsters, and it becomes painfully obvious they do not know what they are protesting.
ICE protesters have espoused an incoherent grab bag of gripes. The media like to show wide shots of the crowd, because when they focus on and interview one person, most of them are nutjobs. When asked for specifics about what they were protesting, you’d think they’d been asked to explain nuclear fission.
These protestors are whiter than a Mitt Romney family reunion. These old white folks at these No Kings rallies make me look pale.
No Kings? Well, we just had four years of No President.
To be a good Democrat, you must possess the skill to ignore the obvious with smug self-satisfaction.
The “No Kings” Democrats did the following:
They did not allow RFK Jr. on the ballot or the debate stage in their primary; they sued him and did not give him Secret Service protection. The Dems hid the mental decline of their “King” (aka Biden). And instead of letting people vote, like a King would do, they installed the queen, Kamala Harris.
Biden pardoned his family, and Jan. 6 Committee folks and the like who did his bidding.
And of course, nationwide, Dems used lawfare against political rivals.
Trump wants to clean up illegals here who are causing trouble. About one-third of our elite colleges have Chinese and other foreign nationals as students. Why are they allowed to take those spots from Americans who pay the taxes sent to these universities?
I do not know how cops stand there and be abused, things thrown at them by these cowards, and who know the LA mayor and California governor won’t let them respond in kind. My dad was a cop, and he said that they never beat perps with their night sticks or billy clubs; they just read them their Miranda Rights in Morse Code.
Seven cops have been hurt in LA. Just one ICE protester was shot in his groin with a rubber bullet. He did not think it was as funny as I did when police told him to just put some ICE on it.
Gavin Newsom has issues with rubber bullets being fired — not because they are a wimp’s way to control a rioting/looting crowd, but because the rubber is not bio-degradable.
It got so bad in LA that the Apple store there contemplated moving to a safer area: Gaza.
Libs pretend Trump helping with more officers and military made this happen. But it was already happening. I am not sure that there have ever been riots, looting and violence helped by fewer police. Dems are mad because this further highlights how poorly they have run their cities and states.
LA stores were looted. As we learned from the BLM, conjure up some social injustice and inflame it beyond reason, and many feel they are justified in stealing a flat screen TV. Not exactly Rosa Parks and Dr. King-like.
But let me end on a positive note. There were moments of racial harmony during all this that should give us hope. I did see a Mexican guy, a Black guy and a white guy working together to loot an Asian guy’s liquor store.
