The Democrats are finally starting to wake up just a little bit…

But Biden denounced the violence that has unfolded as part of demonstrations in Kenosha in recent days.

I must admit to being impressed. That’s quite an accomplishment for somebody that has a great deal of difficulty remembering his own name.

And of course, the Communist news network is right in line with this.

We need to understand, folks, this has always been about the election. Always, always, always.

For all of their protests of unity, the fact of the matter is the Democratic party relies almost exclusively on division. All this suffering is about defeating orange man bad and the American people are finally catching up his including a large swath of black voters.Now that they see that that’s precisely what’s happening, they’ve begun backing off. Don’t let them. All this rioting, all the looting, all the damage all the deaths fall directly at the feet of the Democrat party because they can’t accept the 2016 election… Or the 2020 election for that matter

From Jerry Saperstein in Chicago

Just another innocent black man. Kenosha WI cause celebre was apparently accosting a woman, in violation of a restraining order, and had an outstanding warrant for his arrest on charges including sexual assault. Police had already used a Taser on him without effect when he broke away and was apparently trying to get a knife from his car, most likely to slice a pie or something like that.

Notorious racist ambulance chaser Ben Crump, of course, portrays his hastily recruited client, a the picture of innocence. Lying seems to be very ingrained in Crump.

So once again we have a city in flames because of a black man with a criminal history, violating a lawful court order, refusing to comply with lawful police orders and going for a weapon.

Can we get the bleeding hearts to start recognizing the truth here?

I wonder, I really wonder, if the hospital toxicology report will disclose the presence of controlled substances in his blood. Yeah, I really wonder.

There is only one conclusion to draw from the continuing violence in American cities which are run by Democrats:

They are in favor of the violence. They are in favor of people being attacked and dying on a daily basis. They are in favour of buildings being burned to the ground. Police attacked, and general mayhem.

The fact is that in every case they have the resources available to quell the violence and they have not done so.

And why not? Or in the latin, cui Bono? (Who benefits?)

Their criminal in action on the matter is easily explained. It’s because they consider this violence to be a political advantage.

Because orange man bad.

David and I have both written extensively as regards to the Trayvon Martin affair. Of late, that whole scenario has kind of falling off the map. But perhaps it shipped out have because it gives us a solid indication of what’s going on around this right now.

Eric Florack on August 25th, 2020

Listen, and learn, people.

Ponder this.

Over 80% of gun violence in Wisconsin black on black crime. Yet, nobody ever seems to be upset about things like that. Let one situation like this pop up though, and a lot of people start reinforcing the stereotypes they claim they’re trying to defeat.

Think about this, folks.

If you believe this isn’t about the upcoming election, try again.

This is all happening because somebody has convinced these idiots, “orange man bad”.

They never seem to recognize that every place where this kind of violence has been happening, is in areas where Democrats have had uncontested power.

They are being played by people who will do absolutely anything to obtain and maintain power.

We have a Philip Nolan for the new century. Just as Nolan’s fictional misdeeds left him without a country, John Kasich’s real life deeds have left him without a political party. Just like his presidential run four years ago, seems to appeal to nobody.

From the left,Mellisa Ryan:

John Kasich is speaking at the DNCC tonight. As part of his pre-speech media blitz, he’s slamming @aoc
, one of our rising stars. *So* glad we gave the anti-choice union buster a prime speaking slot. I’m sure it will sway at least five voters.

:

From the right Paula Bolyard:

Kasich shorter: These are not normal times, so I’m voting for the candidate who wants to force nuns to pay for birth control; who thinks we don’t have enough abortions; who wants to cut police budgets and raise taxes; and who is beholden to the socialist-loon wing of the party.

What are the odds Johnny having Slow Joe’s basement phone number?

Some nut takes a pot shot on the grounds of the White House.  The Secret Service evacuates POTUS from press briefing.  The President returns and resumes the press briefing.  When we get dumb question of the day, video:

Now Brian Stetler and CNN are free do report that President Trump is no President Reagan.  Unlike the Irish Gipper, Donny did not provide his version of “Honey I forgot to duck.”

Much like Mrs. Clinton, PJ Media seems think the Constitution of the United States of America is merely a list of suggestions.

Amendment I

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

from Stephen Kruiser,PJ Media:

Modern American news media is engaged in a daily abuse of its First Amendment privileges. Originally tasked with speaking truth to power, the MSM now is, for the most part, the power. Well, the power for the Left.

What the MSM is doing is a blatant perversion of the rights given to it by the First Amendment. Rather than being freedom’s voice, the American mainstream media is now tyranny’s hammer.

Memo brick for Mr. Kruiser, the first ten amendments are referred to as the Bill of Rights, and not the list of suggested privileges.  The only constitutional privileges the press has a imagined.

Whereas Slow Joe has trouble remembering a one line talking, President Donny can think and talk at the same time.

Donny avoids the barb, turns it in to an offensive weapon, and plays to the house.  Shades of the Gipper.

Slow Joe attempts to talk about diversity, sticks foot in mouth, via Ann Althouse:

“What you all know that most people don’t know, unlike the African American community with notable exceptions, the Latino community is an incredibly diverse community, with incredibly different attitudes about different things,””What you all know that most people don’t know, unlike the African American community with notable exceptions, the Latino community is an incredibly diverse community, with incredibly different attitudes about different things,”

Comment by Professor Althouse:

I think what happened is that Biden, in cognitive decline, is losing the ability to maintain the boundary between what is said behind the scenes with his advisers and what is appropriate for speech to the general public.

I quibble with the Professor.  The concept of diversity, whatever it may be, is both ill-defined and explosive.  Thus it is a subject a smart politician may feign homage, but never discuss. And even in his better days in the lower half Syracuse Law, Slow Joe was never that smart.  Slow Joe may have been a closeted racist, but if he had only been smart enough to keep the door closed

The first modern general, William T Sherman, described war:

War is cruelty. There is no use trying to reform it. The crueler it is, the sooner it will be over.

The first modern President, Harry Truman, demonstrated Sherman’s description, from Federalist:

On August 6, 1945, 30-year-old U.S. Air Force pilot Col. Paul W. Tibbets Jr. took to the sky in the Enola Gay, his Boeing B-29 Superfortress heavy bomber. His destination, the Japanese city of Hiroshima, was not an especially notable target. His payload, however, a single bomb nicknamed “Little Boy,” would change the course of history.[…]
A near-impossible decision faced President Harry S. Truman in the summer of 1945. To his credit, and to the salvation of millions, his fateful choice was the right one.

Needless to say, Harry’s two days of Hell, would be no match for what eighteen months of Japanese suicide attacks, a Soviet offensive and possible US poison gas attacks.  After all, War is Hell.

Call this a Skokie post.

Did the late George Floyd commit suicide? More to the point can the State of Minnesota prove beyond at reasonable doubt that Floyd did at the hands of former police officer Derek Chauvin et al?  From Law Officer:

And as we have pointed out before, there remains not one shred of evidence that race was a factor in this incident and the body camera footage makes that crystal clear. This incident certainly appears to revolve around a suspect high on fentanyl and methamphetamine along with a pre-existing heart condition that committed a crime and resisted officers until his death.

The evidence should show that Floyd was high on fentanyl and methamphetamine, had a pre-existing heart condition and resisted arrest until he passed.  Any competent defense attorney should be able to convince the jury that absent these factors Floyd would not have died.

All these was known, or should have been, before Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison filed charges.  So if justice was not, in not, Ellison’s motives, what is?  Was Ellison trying both fuel and spark a race riot?  Or was he just trying to railroad four non-black police officers.

Parting question, should the federal DOJ open a civil rights investigation into Ellison for the violation of Chauvin et al civil rights?

As the old joke goes: What do the Sun and Eastman Kodak have in common? Both are large yellow objects that used to seen in Rochester. Well the Sun is still missing, but like Nessie, the Loch Ness Monster, a Kodak sighting has been reported, from Star Tribune:

Eastman Kodak will receive a federal loan of $765 million to help reduce the country’s reliance on other countries for ingredients used in generic drugs.

The plan is to create a Kodak Pharmaceuticals division, adding 300 jobs in Rochester, N.Y., and 30 to 60 jobs in St. Paul, officials told the Wall Street Journal.

The division would produce ingredients for generic drugs, including the antimalarial drug hydroxychloroquine that President Donald Trump has touted in the treatment of coronavirus, the report said.

Get that the production of generic drugs to in include hydroxychloroquine.  The should provoke a firestorm.  The sure to enraged include Fredo Sr., b/k/a Governor Andrew Cuomo.  Fredo is never opposed to killing Upstate New York jobs, especially with the added bonus of killing New Yorkers.

Mayor Connie, b/k/a Mayor Lovely Warren, Rochester, will she even know what to do with having her string yanked by the now departed Assemblyman David Gantt?

AOC, b/k/a Representative hydroxychloroquine, the only job of which AOC approves, other than her own, is shop lifting, assume from a mom and pop because the big box stores will not go near NYC.  AOC temper tantrum killed proposed Amazon expansion in NYC.

Last Mrs. Pelosi, the receipt of the federal loan caused Kodak’s share price to explode.  Beware of her rage should sober up and finds she missed out on a potential insider trade.

Note in passing, this is not the old Yellow Box.  The old Kodak died in bankruptcy.  The old shares were zeroed out, and new shares created for the bond holders

The only group which uses word white to describe a population is the Klu Klux Klan.  The Klan and the democrats, but I repeat myself, from Washington Examiner:

  1. We will never amplify or legitimize the voices of bigotry, racism, misogyny, anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, or white supremacy.
  2. Median incomes are lower and poverty rates are higher for Black Americans, Latinos, Native Americans, and some Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, compared to median white households.
  3. And there is a persistent, pernicious racial wealth gap that holds millions of Americans back, with the typical white household holding six times more wealth than the typical Latino family and 10 times more wealth than the typical Black family.
  4. The wage gap between Black workers and white workers is higher today than it was 20 years ago.
  5. It takes a typical Black woman 19 months to earn what a typical white man earns in 12 months — and for typical Latinas and Native American women, it takes almost two years.
  6. Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, the uninsured rate was nearly three times higher for Latinos and nearly twice as high for Black Americans as it was for whites.
  7. Black children are far more likely than white children to suffer from asthma.
  8. Latinos, Native Americans, Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, and Black Americans are diagnosed with diabetes at higher rates than whites.
    Black women are more than three times as likely to die from complications of pregnancy and childbirth compared to white women.
  9. President Trump’s words and actions have given safe harbor and encouragement to bigots, anti-Semites, Islamophobes, and white supremacists.
  10. The extreme gap in household wealth and income between people of color — especially Black Americans, Latinos, and Native Americans — and white families is hurting our working class and holding our country back.
  11. We will confront white nationalist terrorism and combat hate crimes perpetrated against religious minorities.
  12. Each year, the United States spends $23 billion more on schools in predominantly white districts than in non-white districts.
  13. We will root out systemic racism from our military justice system, where black service members are twice as likely as white ones to face court-martial.
  14. Our counterterrorism priorities, footprint, and tools should shift accordingly, including to respond to the growing threat from white supremacist and other right-wing terrorist groups.

If you are on the democrat Klan list, Joe Biden is not your friend.
