A popular topic nowadays is the fact that the Democrat Party seems to be in utter disarray.  We hear that so often that it’s becoming monotonous, and its acceptance as an article of faith is liable to be dangerous.  I’m tired of hearing about the great Red Wave that’s going to sweep Democrats from office next year.  Complacency and the normal habit of Republicans snatching defeat from the jaws of victory should advise caution.  But that said, things do look very bleak for Democrats at this moment in time.  The Biden Administration has done absolutely everything wrong.  The Democrats, who are clinging to the narrowest of majorities in both Houses of Congress are legislating as though they enjoy veto-proof majorities.  Their policies on energy, spending, inflation, the border, crime, and just about everything else are wildly unpopular.  Add to this Biden’s failures in Afghanistan, and his criminally weak performances with China and Russia, and the picture is ugly.  The funny thing is that the Democrats just don’t seem to care.  Not about public opinion.  Not even about the 2022 mid-term elections.  It’s almost like they don’t think elections matter anymore.  Maybe they know something we don’t yet know.  The Democrat brand is being represented by the poorest excuse for a President in recent times.  A mental incompetent, who has to be led around by the hand and is incapable even of coherently reading lines on a Teleprompter. Biden’s approval is under 40%.  Half the public believes he’s senile, and 67% of voters don’t want him to run again.  Less than half of all Democrats say he’s doing a good job on inflation, which represents a rare Democrat acknowledgement of the truth.  All Biden’s doing about inflation is denying economics by claiming ruinous government spending doesn’t affect inflation, and blaming others.  “Higher prices are due to price gauging by evil corporations.”  The public isn’t buying the bullshit.  Then, there’s the Old Man and the VP.  At a time when myriad crises call for Administration members to rally round one another and show support, there’s open hostility between Biden and VP Kamala Harris.  There’s even widespread talk, on both sides of the aisle, of Biden somehow getting rid of Harris before 2024.  Such a notion clearly is madness, and in today’s environment is akin to political suicide.  The Democrat Party is already divided between its Moderate Wing (Leftist Nuts) and the Progressive Wing (All Out Marxists).  Throw in a racial schism by cashiering the first female of color Vice President, and that’s an election not even a Democrat will be able to steal.  Several times, Joe Biden has publicly snubbed Kamala Harris at joint appearances.  If the talk about replacing Kamala isn’t coming from inside the Administration, they’ve surely heard it.  Yet no one, least of all Sleepy Joe, has come forward to deny it.  So why the strife?  Didn’t Biden pick Kamala to run with him?  Well, yes and no.  Some presidential candidates choose their running mates, and some have their running mates thrust upon them.  After being annointed by James Clyburn as the  Democrat candidate, Biden announced his running mate would be a “woman of color.”  There was a vice-presidential search committee.  Its Chairperson hailed the pick, saying Biden, “was looking for someone who was going to really embody those ideals and those principles that he has talked about during this campaign in terms of building the middle class back and restoring the soul of our country and also someone who was simpatico.  That was the word he used – someone who was simpatico with him.  And she checked every single box.”  First of all, the principles Biden talked about were moderate, and Kamala is a radical Leftist.  Secondly, Democrats seek to destroy the middle-class, not build it up, and they have no souls.  Third, Joe Biden couldn’t pronounce “simpatico,” much less use it in a sentence.  And lastly, there were only two boxes.  Female – Check!  Non-caucasian – Check!  So what’s Biden’s beef with Kamala?  It can’t be her approval rating, because her 28% could only make his 38% look good.  It can’t be over policy.  Biden sold his soul to the Leftist nuts as the price of his nomination, and he’s backed every nutty Marxist program they’ve tried to shove down our throats.  Biden put Kamala in charge of the border mess, which has only gotten worse.  Could he be worried her failure to do anything reflects on him?  Not likely.  Kamala wasn’t put in charge to secure the border.  An open border and millions of illegal invaders is what Democrats wanted, and that’s what they got, so mission accomplished.  No, the hostility lies elsewhere.  Maybe right at home, with the first female President of the United States, Dr. Jill Biden.  Let’s face it, Sleepy Joe’s brain has gone bye-bye, and somebody’s got to be running the show.  And although Jill and Kamala pretend to make nice with one another, there’s no love lost between them.  They say there’s no fury like a woman scorned, and Jill still hates Kamala for calling Joe a racist at the only debate she was in before she quit the campaign.  Technically, I guess that means Joe, and not Jill was scorned, but Joe’s forgotten.  Jill hasn’t.  Early in the Administration, a book quoted Jill as saying Harris should “go f–k” herself for attacking her husband.  They say payback’s a bitch, and they both qualify, so watch out.  Kamala would be in better shape if her performance in office made her seem a more stable and palatable alternative to her boss – the poster-boy for senility.  Problem is, all she’s done so far is respond to serious questions with her manaical cackle, and complain about how hard her job is.  Seriously, she’s actually said, “there is nothing about this job that is supposed to be easy.”  This is the vice-presidency we’re talking about.  The job John Adams called, “the most insignificant office that ever the invention of man contrived or his imagination conceived.”  The office that Vice-President John Nance Garner said “is not worth a bucket of warm spit.”  Vice-Presidents have very little to do.  They go to funerals.  Kamala’s at least done a few meaningful things.  With only 50 Senate Democrats, she gotten to vote a few times.  But, if she thinks her job is tough, then what she’s telling us is she has no business being President.  And the Democrats don’t have a viable alternative.  All the Democrat leaders are 80 or older.  If Kamala goes, who’s next?  Picture it.  The doors swing open, and enter Madame Pantsuit, Hillary Clinton.  A spotlight comes on, and Elton John starts singing, The Bitch Is Back.  Oh, the humanity!  Let’s hope it’s all a dream and we’ll wake up soon.

Woke wing-nuts only allow the use of the term “the Holidays,” and we’re in their midst right now.  Leftists object to saying Merry Christmas, and so have substituted “Happy Holidays” instead.  Can’t say “Christmas” because the word includes the name of Christ, and thus might give some unsuspecting innocents the crazy idea that December 25 is some sort of a religious occasion.  Can’t have that.  And even the term “the Holidays” has been modified of late.  “The Holidays” used to refer to Hannukah, Christmas and New Years Day, but that was insufficiently inclusive.  Don’t take my word for it.  The U.S. Postal Service produces “holiday” stamps, which now include commemorations of Diwali, Kwanzaa and Eid as well the mundane Hannukah and Christmas stamps.  So have a happy holiday of your choice, so long as you don’t dare utter the word “Christmas.” Or have as happy a holiday as the Woke imbeciles will permit.  You can tell it’s “the Holidays” because the purveyors of insult, injury and misery on the Left have begun to try to ruin the season.  They don’t approve of “Holiday” movies and TV shows.  They complain that the Hallmark Channel Christmas movies are “too white,” and if anything’s worse than Christmas, it would have to be a white Christmas.  I have a different objection to these movies.  Every one of them is the same story, just with different actors and titles, and they’ve been playing them over and over since July.  It seems that Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer is “problematic,” because he’s abused by his father, bullied by the other reindeer, and isn’t accepted till he proves useful to the fat sleigh driver, or was that slave driver?  This week, some loony Twitter twits panned It’s a Wonderful Life as mysoginistic.  Apparently, there’s a scene where George Bailey kisses his wife, the mother of their four children, without first getting her consent.  Shocking!  You’d think the miserable misanthropes of the Left would approve of this movie.  It’s really the perfect picture for a Woke Holiday season.  After all, it associates Christmas with such things as death, impending bankruptcy, envy, frustration, embezzlement, drunk driving, clinical depression, and attempted suicide.  Holiday fun for the whole family.  And the whole idea of the movie is how much better it would be had George never been born.  That ought to appeal to the pro-abortion crowd.  It doesn’t.  It’s a Wonderful Life is horribly out of date anyway.  George is all bent out of shape by an $8,000 deficit?  Who cares?  Nowadays, he could just say he invested it in Bitcoin and it went down, or else just put in for another PPP loan.  Problem solved by Uncle Sucker.  Christmas songs are equally offensive to the Left.  They’ve cancelled the original rendition of Baby It’s Cold Outside as a celebration of date rape.  Who knew?  It’s a good thing these kooks don’t listen to Christmas music, because they’d really be triggered by some of other song lyrics.  God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen is far too gender specific and suggests that only males get to rest.  By the same token, I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus must be updated.  Maybe I Saw Daddy Kissing Santa Claus, or I Saw He, Him, It Kissing He, She, Whatever the Fuck?  Then there’s Walking In A Winter Wonderland, which clearly offends the recent migrant, a/k/a illegal alien community.  People from Guatemala and Honduras don’t get a winter wonderland.  I think DHS needs to install snow making equipment under that bridge in Texas.  Oh Come Oh Ye Faithful is a clear insult to the atheist community.  And make no mistake, atheists love Christmas, uh, pardon me, “the Holidays” because, let’s face it, it’s the only time of the year anyone pays attention to them.  Atheist groups have managed to cancel a number of schools plans to put on student performances of A Charlie Brown Christmas, because Linus actually recites a bible verse in the show.  And of course the schools, ever wary of the danger of bringing church too close to State, and having no balls in addition to no faith, have dutifully knuckled under.  Here’s a lesson for “the atheist community.”  The First Amendment’s religion clause has two parts.  One says the government can’t establish an official religion.  The other one protects the right to the free exercise of religion.  This means atheists are free to believe in nothing, but they can’t insist that others abandon their faith to please them.  So if you don’t like Christmas, on December 25 go to a Chinese restaurant, go see the latest super-hero movie, and otherwise button your lips.  Our government is weighing in on “the Holidays” in its own inimitable way.  Anthony “I am the Science” Fauci, or was that Fascist, has more advice for a happy holiday, “One thing that vaccinated people can feel comfortable with, for example — let’s take the holiday setting, you’re with your family, you have grandparents and parents and children, when you get vaccinated and you have a vaccinated group and you are in an indoor setting, you can enjoy, as we have traditionally over the years, dinners and gatherings within the home with people who are vaccinated.”  You remember that tradition, don’t you?  When we used to hang our vaccine cards by the chimney with care?  Fauci wasn’t done, “That’s the reason why people should, if they invite people over their home, essentially ask and maybe require that people show evidence that they are vaccinated.”  A new tradition, “Merry Christmas, papers please!”  Fauci’s boss President Biden even got into the act.  He counselled the nation that, if you can’t get the gifts you want, don’t blame him, because Santa Claus is in charge of the supply chain.  Yes Virginia, he is a corrupt demented imbecile.  One thing the Left does approve of for the Holiday season is the Yule Log.  This does make some sense because the Yule Log is derived from Norse mythology, dating back to the pagan practices of the Vikings and ancient Germans who burned logs this time of year to honor the Norse God Odin.  If its not Christian, it has to be good, right?  But the Left didn’t like the traditional Yule Log

so they updated it.  Here’s the new official Woke Yule Log

That’s the Fox News tree set afire by a NY kook who should have been in jail.  The arson got coverage from The NY Times, which reported the tree “caught fire.”  Which was true.  It “caught fire” right after a maniac climbed it and lit a match.  Taking a page from WPIX, I hear that CNN will play a loop of the burning Fox tree for 24 hours Christmas Day.  And to all a Woke night.

The Wuhan virus, sometimes called Covid-19, has been with us now for two long years.  The media, which has been stirring this nasty pot all that time, tell us that more than 5 million people worldwide have died of it, or more accurately with it; more than 800,00 Americans among them.  Because we are victims of 24/7 media sensationalism, and because the Wuhan has become, of all things, as much a political as a medical disease, we’re constantly warned that the end is near… unless.  Unless what?  Unless we comply with illegal and nonsensical government mandates.  Unless we smilingly conform to the dictates of authoritarians whose pronouncements have no basis in fact, law or medicine.  If the so-called experts were right, don’t you think we would have seen some improvement by now?  Don’t you think these petty tyrants would be able to point to some legitimate medical study, empirical data, or consensus in the medical community that could support their insistence that mindless, and as we have seen, useless restrictions actually are doing some good?  We’ve been offered none of those things.  Instead, all we get are new orders to do as they say, even though what they say to do has proven to be useless.  It’s evident by now that our leaders are fully aware of this and are counting on media induced hysteria over the virus to assure continued compliance.  I mean, they may be sneaky, corrupt, duplicitous and inept at their jobs, but they’re not stupid.  They’re counting on hysteria to keep us in line.  That way, enough of us won’t notice that their actions are sensational rather than sensible.  In 2020, mandates may have been understandable.  We had little knowledge of the virus, no vaccines and few treatments.  Even so, scientific data was sketchy.  Some scientists said stay 27 feet apart, some said 10 feet.  That was undoable, so they compromised on 6 feet.  Follow the science?  It wasn’t science and it didn’t work.  Two weeks to stop the spread?  How about two years?  And it didn’t stop.  Even with the vaccines they tell us are our only hope, more people died in 2021 than in 2020.  Wear masks?  Why?  The Wuhan virus is 10 times smaller than the smallest particle stopped by even an N-95 mask, never mind a Jesse James bandana.  Follow the science?  How about admit your mistakes?  California and Michigan have the most draconian mask and vaccine mandates.  The average daily death rate in California and Michigan tops 75 deaths a day.  In Florida, with no mask mandates and no vaccine mandates, it’s about 3 to 4 a day.  But our government, represented by Corrupt Demented Imbecile Joe Biden and Anthony “I am the Science” Fauci, keep  demanding we wear masks, distance, and get vaccinated, proving Albert Einstein’s hypothesis that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.  They have to order the same things because they’ve got nothing else.  And they can’t tell us now, “Guess what, we haven’t got a clue,” because Biden got elected by promising he had a plan to stop the virus.  The only plan the Democrats really have is to use virus hysteria to stay in power.  Enter the Omicron variant.  It was discovered in South Africa, and when announced, the world went nuts.  Countries closed borders.  Biden stopped flights from Africa.  The stock market plunged 1,000 points, and the price of oil dropped almost 20% in anticipation of lockdowns.  All based on the following description of the variant from the doctor who isolated it, “Sore muscles and tiredness for a day or two, not feeling well.” “No loss of taste or smell.”  “A slight cough.”  “No prominent symptoms” and the infected are currently being treated at home.”  I’ve got all those problems every day, and I’ve never been to Africa.  So why the panic?  And why Omicron?  Omicron is a letter in the Greek alphabet.  We can’t name viruses for the place they were discovered anymore.  The World Health Organization has told us so.  WHO says the names of new diseases must avoid causing offense “to any cultural, social, national, regional, professional or ethnic groups.”  Forget about all those groups except “national.”  The WHO is run by China, and what China says goes.  The Covid virus indisputably came from Wuhan, China, but you better not say China virus.  Greeks apparently don’t count, so it’s Alpha.  Variant B came from South Africa.  Now it’s Beta.   The third one came from Brazil – Gamma.  Here’s an oldie but a goody.  Variant 4 came from India, but we call it Delta.  The next two popped up in the U.S. – Epsilon and Iota.  You may not know there have been Kappa and Lambda variants.  There’s also a Mu variant which accounts for 39% of all Covid in Colombia.  Never heard of it?  It’s in every State, and the WHO tried to stir up Mu panic in the Fall predicting it would evade vaccines.  I guess it didn’t.  So WHO is trying again.  “Omicron may evade vaccines.”  Sound familiar?  WHO didn’t explain how a more contagious virus with no serious symptoms is a bad thing.  I’m no doctor, but if the world is overtaken by Omicron, which infects everybody, and confers natural immunity without killing people, isn’t that a good thing?  Well, maybe for the poor people, maybe for businesses and schools, but not for the people who count.  If Omicron immunizes the world who’s going to buy those expensive vaccines and therapeutics?  China won’t like it either.  It’s only called Omicron because they skipped the next letter in the alphabet, Xi, as it was too close to the name of China’s dictator.  Can’t have that, so WHO nixed the xi.  Plus, China wants the whole world panicked and on the balls of its ass, so they can take over more easily.  Here at home, the end of Covid mania is the last thing Democrats want.  Biden wants you scared, poor, and beholden to government.  And what about Anthony “I am the Science” Fascist?  If Covid goes away, he goes too.  My reaction is quite simple.  I’m sick of the WHO, and Fauci, and China, and Biden, and all the Greek alphabet bullshit.  Maybe just one more.  It’s time for Omega, the end.  I don’t know Greek so how about Italian?  Basta Finito.  Enough already.

The Left has altered, or is trying to alter much of the landscape of American culture.  Imbued with the unshakable certitude that they’re always right, the Woke imbeciles are certain that they’re changing America for the better.  As usual, they’re wrong again.  The latest predation of the Left is its mindless, and ruinous alteration of the American Dream.  The American Dream used to be the notion that, if one worked hard, one would be able to share in the copious bounty of America.  One could work where one chose, live where one chose, and enjoy the better things in life, including a staggering variety of luxury products, all available, for the right price.  However, in its zeal to bestow the blessings of luxury on even the least of society, the Left has overlooked two critical elements, the work and the price.  This troubles the Left not a bit.  Its effect on society, however, is troubling.  This week, in the Golden State, sunny California, Woke idiocy has spawned a spate of looting, theft, and violence.  Mobs of marauders, armed with guns, crowbars, hammers, and other useful implements, have swarmed into luxury boutiques and stores, as well as into not so luxurious retail outlets, terrorized employees with punches kicks and pepper spray, have smashed displays and cases, and looted the stores to the bare walls.  All this mayhem is the direct result of California’s 2014 Proposition 47, that made thefts of up to $950 a misdemeanor, and the decisions of Woke so-called Prosecutors that misdemeanor thefts will not be prosecuted.  Human nature being what human nature is, it naturally followed that people who know they can steal without running the risk of being arrested and prosecuted will be motivated to steal anything they can get their hands on.  This idiotic policy has resulted in the closing of dozens of drug stores in the San Francisco area; stores which have been emptied by bands of thieves.  The lure of a no-risk opportunity for what used to be called a five finger discount, may please some of the downtrodden masses suffering from the evils of systemic racism and white supremacy, but it has adversely affected the poor unfortunates, most of whom reside in the same communities as the bargain hunters, and now are unable to obtain needed prescriptions from a local pharmacy.  No matter.  Come the Marxist revolution, I guess you have to take the good with the bad.  Nordstroms seems to be a favorite target of the discounters.  Last Saturday, 80 people wearing ski masks stormed a Nordstroms in Walnut Creek, stealing armfuls of merchandise.  The raid took only one minute. Looters parked their cars to block the street before carrying out the smash-and-grab.  In San Francisco proper, perhaps spurred on by Biden Administration advice to do your Christmas shopping early, looters emptied a Louis Vuitton on Union Square,  a Burberry’s, a Bloomingdales, and 7 other retailers.  Don’t worry though, Mayor of San Francisco, London Breed, another Woke imbecile, has a plan to thwart the thefts.  She announced that the city will limit car access to the Union Square shopping district.  “We’re going to be making some changes to Union Square and how cars are able to access.  There will be limited access in terms of when you come to this area.”  Now, the looters will be limited to just what they can carry.  Brilliant!  The looters get parking tickets, the City makes revenue, and the thefts still go unpunished. Problem solved.  In Los Angeles, a flash mob conducted smash-and-grab robberies at The Grove shopping center, and at another Nordstroms.   In Hayward, California, employees at Sam’s Jewelers store at the Southland Mall were sent screaming into the street Sunday evening, by a gang of 40 to 50 “teens,” dare I say “youts,” who entered the mall wielding hammers to smash display cases.  In Oakland,  mobs of thieves hit a handful of pharmacies and marijuana dispensaries, including the Wellspring pharmacy.  Oakland Police say the mobs fired 175 shots during the mostly peaceful rampage, forcing officers to pull back to safe locations.  When shopping gets so dangerous that the police can’t or won’t get near the stores, I’d say you’ve got a problem.  Based upon video of the above described attacks posted on the internet, none of the looters were White supremacists.  This fact has  prompted numb-nuts Media types, who although unconcerned by these brazen robberies, have offered the wisdom of equally numb-nuts “experts,” who counsel that the people involved in the robberies must not be called “looters.”  The ABC affiliate in San Francisco reported that “According to the California Penal Code, what we saw was not looting.  The penal code defines looting as ‘theft or burglary … during a ‘state of emergency,’ ‘local emergency,’ or ‘evacuation order’ resulting from an earthquake, fire, flood, riot or other natural or man-made disaster.'”  Hence, no earthquake, no looting.  No doubt reacting to the multiple, and nearly identical videos, the station offered two “experts”  who warned that “Looting is a term that we typically use when people of color or urban dwellers are doing something.  We tend not to use that term for other people when they do the exact same thing.”  The “experts” did not specify who these “other people” might be, nor has any video of these other people come to light.   Once again, systemic racism raises its ugly head.  No doubt the White devils made them do it.  I propose an alternative explanation.  I suspect that Jeff Bezos is behind the attacks.  He owns Amazon.  He’s busy trying to conquer all retail markets in the country.  Brick and mortar retail stores represent competition for Amazon.  If he can put the stores out of business, he can sell everything.  It’s a win-win.  Bezos gets richer, and thieves from under-served communities can become online “sellers,” thus turning yesterday’s smash-and-grab robber into an entrepreneur.  Is America a great country or what?  And that’s not all.  When we grow tired of getting robbed and beaten here on Earth, Bezos will sell us a seat on one of his rockets, and shoot us out into space.  If all goes well, in no time there could be rocket ship holdups and smash-and grab robberies on the Moon.  No doubt the misguided Progressives will call that progress.  God help us.

The Left has turned our world into a fantasy landscape, where up is down, right is wrong, and who you gonna believe, Woke imbeciles, or your lying eyes?  It used to be said that two wrongs don’t make a right.  The Left rejects that maxim, in favor of a new orthodoxy.  “If you disagree with us, you’re wrong, but whatever we choose to do, and however we choose to do it, is right.”  Because these people are brain damaged, that includes ignoring the law, changing it to suit their agenda, and even resorting to violence and threats of violence to get what they want.  And I’m not just talking about the political scene.  The iron boot of the Left is being firmly applied to the most sacred element of our republic, our justice system.  This sad tableau is playing out Kenosha, Wisconsin.  In August 2020, a justified police shooting sparked days of rioting, burning, and looting in Kenosha.  Into this Hell-like scene strode Kyle Rittenhouse, a pale, doughy, 17 year old life-guard, with a first aid kit and  an AR-15 rifle.  Rittenhouse went to Kenosha to put out fires set by rioters, and appears in video cleaning graffiti from a church.  At this juncture, one must question the judgment of Rittenhouse, and that of his mother, who permitted him to enter the Woke, mostly peaceful, riot zone, but put that aside, he went.  Along the way, Rittenhouse encountered several, mostly peaceful rioters, a/k/a “protestors.” Joseph Rosenbaum, a convicted child rapist and domestic abuser, who that day had been released from a mental hospital for bipolar disorder and attempted suicide.  Rosenbaum was setting the fires Rittenhouse was trying to put out.  Anthony Huber, previously convicted of repeated domestic abuse and strangulation.  Gaige Grosskreutz; convicted felon, domestic abuser, and drunk driver, also convicted of gun possession while intoxicated.  And Maurice Freeland, who kicked Rittenhouse in the face.  Freeland had experience, having previously kicked his girlfriend in the rib cage.  Video captured Rittenhouse yelling to the mostly peaceful rioters, “Friendly, friendly, friendly!”  Rosenbaum, et al. took exception to Rittenhouse’s interruption of their right to commit arson, chased Rittenhouse shouting the N word at him. (NOTE- The principal  players in this mess were White).  Rosenbaum threatened to kill Rittenhouse.  They cornered him, and tried to take his rifle.  Only then did Rittenhouse shoot and kill Rosenbaum.  Huber took umbrage to this.  Swinging a skateboard like a baseball bat, he bashed Rittenhouse in the head, and reared back to hit him a second time while he was on the ground.  Only then was Huber shot and killed.  Enter Grosskreutz, who admitted at the trial that he didn’t get shot until after he stuck his illegally possessed pistol in Rittenhouse’s face.  The two-man clown show that is the prosecution in this case has been an insult to prosecutors everywhere.  One of them called the three felons shot by Rittenhouse “a crowd of heroes.”  The other one said Rittenhouse had no right to defend himself because “Everybody takes a beating sometimes, right?”  I hope his fat ass is next.  In 41 years as a lawyer, I’ve never seen a better case for self-defense, but Rittenhouse was indicted for murder and attempted murder.  In the sane world we used to live in, these charges would be presented to the jury, and the jury would consider only the evidence it had heard in determining guilt or innocence, but the Left has cancelled that world.  A cardinal rule of our system of justice is that a trial jury must be scrupulously protected from outside influences or pressures that might affect its verdict.  But the Left doesn’t believe in that either, so just forget it.  This is a racial matter, you see.  The alleged victims and the defendant may be White, but the Antifa rioters were in Kenosha because of BLM protests about the police shooting, which of course, has absolutely nothing to do with the facts at issue in the Rittenhouse case.  No matter.  BLM has announced that Rittenhouse must be convicted, or else it’s not “justice.”  Hence the title of this week’s offering.  BLM and the Left have taken legitimate concerns for racial justice and civil rights and perverted them into the self-same injustice which motivated righteous protests for racial justice and civil rights.  In To Kill a Mockingbird, Tom, the black defendant had to be convicted of a crime he didn’t commit because the alleged victim was white and an acquittal would result in a lynching.  Move ahead (are we really moving “ahead?”) 60 years, and the roles have been reversed.  Regardless of the law of self-defense, the Left demands the lynching of Kyle Rittenhouse, or else Kenosha burns again.  That’s not surprising.  No interference in a Leftist riot can be tolerated.  What is truly sickening, however, is the attitude of the Media, including outlets like Fox News, which seem resigned to the prospect that threats from BLM and Antifa thugs might convince the jury to convict, regardless of the evidence.  The Media aired a BLM/Antifa spokes-thug who said there were people at the trial photographing the jurors.  He made no secret of a plan to intimidate jurors and the judge.  The potential for the jury to succumb to such pressure is being openly discussed on Fox.  On MSNBC, a reporter casually reported that the protestors want to pressure the judge and jury into a conviction.  500 National Guardsmen are on call for anticipated unrest.  The exposure of a deliberating jury to blatant and public threats cannot be tolerated.  No court and no jury should be subjected to such abuse.  Noisy protestors should be moved away from the court.  Anybody who even suggests tampering with a sitting jury should be locked up, immediately, to deter other miscreants.  Kenosha got what it got in 2020 because police were ordered to “stand down” and let the rioters run riot.  BLM may have a plausible beef when police use force against a black suspect, but this is two steps removed from even that.  The alleged victims are White, and Rittenhouse wasn’t in Kenosha counter-protesting BLM, so BLM needs to butt out.  They have no dog in this fight.  Their real message is, “You try to stop a good riot and we’ll destroy you.”  That message blots out any semblance of concern for justice, and exposes them as violent thugs, no better than Antifa.  And as for those hooded bastards, it’s time for law enforcement to reassert control over chaos.  A government that won’t protect homes, streets or courts has failed.  It’s time these violent little Antifa pricks got smacked down, handcuffed and prosecuted.  “Everybody takes a beating sometimes, right?”
