Portland mayor piously turns down Trump’s offer of police aid, finds his apartment’s lobby overrun by protestors


Is there any fool like a Democrat fool?

Portland’s mayor, Ted Wheeler, has already made his city a punchline internationally, vacuously mouthing the platitudes of Black Lives Matter, and watching mobs riot and burn his city for 92 days straight, with no effort to contain it. Democrats bristle at Republican efforts to pin rioting on poor Democrat rule, but are cut off at the pass when Portland is brought up. Nobody can argue about the incompetence there. Even the people in Minneapolis console themselves with the thought that as bad as their city is, at least it’s not Portland.

President Trump brought up his city by name in his widely watched Republican convention speech, because it’s such a killshot.

Make no mistake, if you give power to Joe Biden, the radical left will defund police departments all across America. They will pass federal legislation to reduce law enforcement nationwide. They will make every city look like Democrat-run Portland, Oregon.

Yet to paraphrase Chelsea Clinton: He persists.

On night 92 of the sacking of his city, Wheeler loudly turned down an offer of federal aid to stop the rioting, and put out a loud “stay away” press release, fully expecting some lefty clapping. 

 

 

One problem: The rioters he was standing up for read that as a signal to invade his apartment lobby:

 

 

And they did. As Matt Vespa notes over at Townhall:

Wheeler literally told the president to “stay away.” And now, leftists have reportedly stormed the apartment complex where he lives, and they will not leave until he abolishes the police department by 2022 and resigns from office. It wasn’t a massive horde, but now that these folks know where he lives—expect more of these shenanigans. 

Wenosha didn’t do that – all it took was a few nights of rioting and they were all in for some federal help because there was some understanding about how bad it was going to get for their city — it takes decades for cities to recover from rioting, sadly enough.

Wenosha wasn’t the only place, either. Back when Chicago’s mayor got the protestors-at-the-doorstep moment, she suddenly snapped to her senses and accepted federal aid for the purpose of cracking down on the violence-minded invaders, apparently recognizing that this being Chicago, it could well have been the doing of political opponents. Everyone’s a conservative about things they know best, and in this case, the point was literally driven home.

Not so Portland. Wheeler continues thus far with the naive view that if he can just protest hard enough, just show he hates Trump hard enough, the protestors will come to love him. 

Trump’s thrown out a warning to Wheeler in recent hours about what’s next:

 

 

Yet Wheeler hasn’t a clue. He remains a babe in the woods about what these “fiery but peaceful” rioters’ aims are – to create chaos and make Portland unliveable. And yes, they’d like him out and one of their warlords in. That’s reality and the longer he takes to recognize this, the worse it’s going to get. He’s convinced the voters will support him no matter what, Because Trump, and he’s convinced the protestors are less a threat than Trump’s offer to help restore order through troops.

Now they’re after him, he still thinks he’s mayor of Portland, rather than the protestor’s kick-around toy. One way or another, he’s likely to find himself finished. If the protestors don’t get him, the voters might.

Trevor Noah Hailed for Being Unfunny; Compares USA to Apartheid-Era South Africa

Trevor Noah’s tenure as host of The Daily Show on Comedy Central is nearing five years, so they’re reaching out for the expected positive publicity from the liberal media. Michael Ordona at the Los Angeles Times proclaimed that it’s great the comedy isn’t so central any more on Comedy Central. 
The Daily Show With Trevor Noah has gone from being jokes about the news to, more and more, the news with some jokes. If comedy is tragedy plus time, perhaps this is a natural evolution when we’re too close to the second part of that equation to produce a lot of laughs.
But from the location of what’s being called The Daily Social Distancing Show With Trevor Noah (his New York apartment), the host says, “If anything, it’s an unnatural evolution. Sometimes you are forced to become more of yourself because of something that happens to you or the world around you."
Noah claimed the jokes are still important, but "I no longer have to choose between ‘Joke’ and ‘What I want to say.’ ”
Somehow the paper didn’t notice Noah has provided an unfunny leftist platform to Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, Susan Rice, Andrew Cuomo, a whole parade of Democrats. They helped him by only noting his interview with Dr. Anthony Fauci.
Ordona touted that the show’s ratings are up since Noah started doing the show at home, and stopped, well, trying to be funny. He also tried to claim that America right now somehow compares to…. South Africa under apartheid???
“I think in many ways I’m meeting an appetite by satisfying my own,” Noah says. “I’m going to try to voice my opinion and step out a little more than usual. I owe some of that thinking to a friend and mentor by the name of Dave Chappelle. He said, ‘Anyone can be funny; not everyone is interesting. Don’t discount your point of view, the world you’ve lived in, the country that has shaped you, the journey that you’ve lived through in how you see the world.’ ”
Born during apartheid (when Noah’s very existence as a mixed-race child was illegal), the Johannesburg, South Africa, native has witnessed a nation in upheaval before. He recognizes it now.
“Living in this period in America, as much as I hate to say it, a lot of the things that I’m seeing are similar to what we experienced in South Africa. Mass unemployment, a government that doesn’t seem to have the best interests of the people at heart. People who are getting angrier and angrier.”
Isn’t Trevor leaving out…the racial segregation? How on Earth do you compare 2020 America to that? He can slice some blatant baloney like this, and then the Times lets him claim " we’re also trying to create a show that’s as honest as it can be.”
PS: Last month, CBS Sunday Morning hailed Noah as he lectured there’s no wrong way to protest when "Police in America are looting black bodies." Jim Axelrod called that "Not chasing laughs, chasing light." (This isn’t that surprising, since Comedy Central is a property of ViacomCBS.) 
The touting of "honest and real" Trevor Noah also happened at IndieWire.

Why Democrats Favor Lawlessness and Terrorism Over Donald J. Trump

Why Democrats Favor Lawlessness and Terrorism Over Donald J. TrumpLooking backward with the part of 2020 that is in the rearview mirror, it is quite amazing that as the United States plunged further into the new year, the Democrat leadership digressed further and further from rational thought or intelligent expression. The year began with the Democrat leadership siding with the terrorists who honored and praised General Soleimani. In fact, the American citizens received a prelude to what would be coming out of Democrats, for the entire year. It was not just the Democrat leadership, but the minions in the mainstream media and Hollywood elitists who demonstrated they did not just hate Donald Trump, they showed a higher regard for recognized terrorists who are responsible for the killing of thousands of people than any respect for an American president.

Biden family corruption allegations won’t go away

Biden family corruption allegations won’t go awayIn a five minute hard hitting speech to the Republican Party Convention—Pam Bondi—a career prosecutor and former attorney general of Florida—signalled that allegations of corruption surrounding Joe Biden and his family were going to feature centre stage in the Presidential and Congressional election campaigns:

“At the Democrats’ convention, we were told to look at Joe Biden as the model of integrity, but when you look at his 47-year career in politics, the people who benefited are his family members, not the American people.”

PRAGER: A Demagogue Named Barack Obama: His DNC Speech

On the day Barack Obama was inaugurated in January 2009, I announced on my national radio show that, “While I did not vote for Barack Obama, he is my president, and I wish him well.” I added that I was delighted a black man had been elected president of the United States, that perhaps this would not only help black-white relations get even better than they were but also help put to rest the notion of a racist America.

As it turned out, neither hope was achieved. In fact, in large measure due to Obama, race relations deteriorated during his presidency. Obama turned out to be Black Lives Matter Light. As Politico wrote in 2014, Al Sharpton, perhaps the most consistent race-baiter of the last half-century, “became Obama’s go-to man on race.” According to The Washington Post, Sharpton visited the Obama White House 72 times.

Obama is idolized by liberals and leftists because he was an activist liberal whose goal, in his own words, right before he was first elected, was “fundamentally transforming the United States of America.” And because they love his cool, even-tempered, regal style.

That style masks a demagoguery that far surpasses our current president. It was on display last week when he spoke at the Democratic National Convention.

Obama: “I did hope, for the sake of our country, that Donald Trump might show some interest in taking the job seriously; that he might come to feel the weight of the office and discover some reverence for the democracy that had been placed in his care. But he never did. … Donald Trump hasn’t grown into the job because he can’t.”

These ad hominem attacks by a previous president on his successor are unique in my lifetime. Perhaps they are unique in modern American history. George W. Bush, for example, never said a critical word of Barack Obama, despite the latter’s frequent attacks on Bush’s presidency.

Obama: “And the consequences of that failure are severe. 170,000 Americans dead. Millions of jobs gone.”

America ranks tenth in deaths per million. Are the greater proportion of deaths per million in countries such as Belgium, Spain, the U.K., Italy and Sweden the result of corrupt and/or inept leaders? Was President Donald Trump responsible, for example, for the decision made by New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo to order nursing homes to accept COVID-19 cases, causing the virus to sweep through the elderly in those facilities, resulting in at least 6,000 deaths (and likely many more that New York is hiding from the official count)?

Regarding “millions of jobs gone,” they are gone overwhelmingly because of the lockdowns ordered by state governors and mayors, not the virus. Lockdowns, we were told, would last two weeks to “flatten the curve,” but they continue six months later in many Democratically controlled cities and states.

Obama: “And our democratic institutions threatened like never before.”

Obama offers not one example of this or of his many other attacks on Trump. There is a reason. Obama has always attacked straw men. During his presidency, I analyzed about 20 of his speeches. They and his off-the-cuff comments were always characterized by straw-men arguments.

Even The New York Times, in 2009, when it still published occasional articles that deviated from the Left, featured an article by Helene Cooper (who is black), its then-White House correspondent, titled “Some Obama Enemies Are Made Totally of Straw.” In it, Cooper cited example after example of statements ostensibly made by others, but actually made up by Obama — which he then proceeded to shoot down. This characterized his approach to discourse throughout his presidency and continued with last week’s speech at the DNC.

Obama: “Joe and Kamala will restore our standing in the world — and as we’ve learned from this pandemic, that matters.”

Obama, like all on the Left, equate America’s “standing in the world” with its president’s standing with the Left. Nonleftists do not. Last year, when the courageous Hong Kong demonstrators waved a flag representing liberty, they waved the flag of the United States of America. Apparently, America’s standing with them is pretty high.

Obama: “(Joe and Kamala) believe that in a democracy, the right to vote is sacred.”

Another straw man. Who doesn’t believe “the right to vote is sacred” — those who insist on people having an ID when they vote, as voters do in virtually every other country? Or is it those who don’t believe in sending tens of millions of ballots to people who never signed up to receive an absentee ballot?

Obama: “I understand why a new immigrant might look around this country and wonder whether there’s still a place for him here.”

Really? What new legal immigrant thinks that way? Or is Obama dishonestly conflating legal with illegal immigrants? The answer is, of course, he is (though even illegal immigrants apparently believe there’s a place for them here; isn’t that, after all, why they come?).

Obama: “This administration has shown it will tear our democracy down if that’s what it takes to win.”

How has this administration shown that? Why didn’t Obama provide a single example to sustain this extraordinary charge? Anyway, it seems to many Americans that those who lie to the country for two years about Russian collusion with the Trump campaign, impeach a president solely for political reasons, dedicate all news reporting to the removal of a president, smear and lie about a decent man nominated for the Supreme Court, corrupt the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act system for political ends, and politicize the CIA and FBI are the ones who “will tear our democracy down if that’s what it takes to win.”

Obama’s speech offered very little of substance about the man it was directed against, but it said much about the man who delivered it.

7 Myths & Misconceptions About The Breonna Taylor Case

If you have a social media account, chances are your feed has been filled with misinformation about the death of Breonna Taylor. The 26-year-old black woman was shot and killed by plainclothes police officers who raided her Louisville, Kentucky, home in March. As local, state, and federal officials continue to investigate the shooting death, former first lady Michelle Obama has already concluded that Taylor was murdered. International pop icon Beyoncé wrote an open letter demanding criminal charges be brought against the officers involved but did not specify which crimes she thinks they committed. All the while, a single tweet from attorney Benjamin Crump, who represents Taylor’s family, has contributed to several false narratives that continue to be amplified by blue checkmarks on Twitter.

On May 11, the nationally known civil rights lawyer tweeted: “Louisville Police fatally shot #BreonnaTaylor. They had the wrong address AND their real suspect was already in custody. 2 months later, no one has been held accountable for her death…but we will change that! #JusticeForBreonnaTaylor #SayHerName

The tweet included an image of a press release from Crump’s law firm announcing that Taylor’s family had retained him as legal counsel. Together, the post contained at least four incorrect or misleading statements about the case that still influence the national discussion today.

Here are the seven most common misconceptions surrounding the death of Breonna Taylor:

1. Myth: The officers that raided Breonna’s home were at the wrong address.

Perhaps the most prevalent false belief held by the general public is that the officers who served the search warrant at Taylor’s home were at the “wrong address.”

Police had obtained warrants for multiple locations linked to Jamarcus Glover, an alleged crack cocaine dealer. One of them included Taylor’s apartment, where she lived with her younger sister. Law enforcement believed Glover was using Taylor’s apartment as his current address and had been receiving mail and packages there.

According to the Louisville Courier-Journal, “Taylor’s name, birth date and social security number are listed on the warrant.” The outlet also reported it “includes her street address, apartment number and photos of her apartment door, which police later broke using a battering ram.”

Still, the “fake news” continues to permeate social media. For example, Pennsylvania State Senator Katie Muth, a Democrat, is currently using the false claim to push police reform legislation.

2. Myth: It wasn’t necessary for law enforcement to raid Taylor’s apartment because the main suspect was already in custody.

Both Sen. Muth and Crump say law enforcement did not need to serve the warrant at Taylor’s apartment because police had already arrested Glover in an earlier raid carried out by a different team of officers. Glover was reportedly captured around midnight; then, authorities executed the warrant at Taylor’s home at 12:40 am.

“Their real suspect was already in custody,” Crump wrote in his tweet from May.

While that fragment of his post appears to be accurate, it is also misleading.

The purpose of the raid at Taylor’s apartment was to find evidence, not to arrest Glover. Police said they thought Taylor was home alone at the time and were unaware that her boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, was visiting.

WAVE 3 News recently reported, “mail addressed to Glover was among the items seized from Taylor’s apartment following the shooting,” citing a document obtained by the outlet. Multiple reports indicate that no drugs were found inside the home.

According to the Louisville Courier-Journal, Taylor has no history of drug offenses.

3. Myth: Police raided Taylor’s apartment without knocking.

Even though police had obtained a no-knock warrant, they knocked before entering Taylor’s apartment. No one involved disputes that account.

“Our intent was to give her give plenty of time to come to the door because they said she was probably there alone,” said Sgt. Jonathan Mattingly, who was one of the three officers who discharged their weapons inside Taylor’s home.

As CNN reported:

Taylor’s apartment, according to police, was considered a less volatile, “soft target.” As such, police commanders decided in advance to have officers knock and announce their presence before entry. That decision was communicated in a pre-operational briefing, according to a source familiar with the details of the operation who requested anonymity due to the ongoing investigation…

When there was no answer after repeated knocks, Mattingly said, he announced he was a police officer there to serve a search warrant…

Taylor had been watching a movie in bed together with her boyfriend Kenneth Walker when she drifted off to sleep beside him. Walker told investigators he heard banging at the door after midnight and his first thought was that it was Glover. He said he knew Taylor had dated the accused drug dealer during their on-and-off seven-year relationship. He was concerned there might be trouble.

Walker said the couple had awoken but did not know who was at the door. As they scrambled to get dressed, Walker grabbed his gun, which he was reportedly licensed to carry.

“She’s yelling at the top of her lungs – and I am too at this point – who is it?” he recalled. “No answer. No response. No anything.”

4. Myth: Police shot Breonna while she was in her bed.

Walker said both he and Taylor were walking down a hallway of the apartment toward the front door when it flew off the hinges. He said he feared for his life and thought the plainclothes officers who broke down the door were intruders unlawfully entering his girlfriend’s home.

Police said they “forced entry into the exterior door and were immediately met with gunfire” at 12:43 am.

Walker shot Sgt. Mattingly in the leg, severing his femoral artery. Three cops returned fire, shooting more than 20 rounds into Taylor’s apartment. All of the officers who fired are white. More from CNN:

Inside the apartment, Walker was unharmed. But Taylor lay on the ground beside him, bleeding profusely. There were bullet holes everywhere, including in a neighboring apartment where a young child lived.

Walker punched 911 into his cell phone. His voice sounds distraught as he tells the dispatcher someone had kicked in the door and shot his girlfriend. As the operator peppered him with questions, Walker repeatedly moaned his girlfriend’s nickname – “Bre” – and the word “help.”

Multiple sources confirm Taylor died in the hallway of her apartment, but rumors still circulate alleging she was shot and killed by police while in her bed.

 

One of the officers, Brett Hankison, was fired in June for violating procedures, accused of demonstrating “extreme indifference to the value of human life” by “wantonly and blindly” shooting into Taylor’s apartment. He is appealing his termination. The other two have been placed on administrative leave.

Walker was arrested after the incident, then indicted by a grand jury six days later for the attempted murder of a police officer. However, the indictment was later dismissed.

“It’s possible there was no criminal activity on either side of that door because no one could hear what the other party is saying,” said Tom Wine, Louisville’s top criminal prosecutor, at a news conference in May.

The police incident report contained several errors, according to the New York Times.

5. Myth: The officer shot during the raid at Breonna’s home was hit by “friendly fire.”

Shaun King, an activist often associated with the Black Lives Matter movement, claims to be collaborating with Crump on the Taylor case. King has a massive social media presence with millions of followers on multiple platforms.

On May 14, three days after Crump’s erroneous tweet, King alleged: “It is now believed that the police officer who got shot in the leg in the shooting of Breonna Taylor was shot by ‘friendly fire’ from his own officers. His partners were haphazardly emptying their clips and fired shots into 3 different apartments. They shot him.”

A CNN investigation quoted Walker admitting to firing at the officers.

“So I just let off one shot,” he said. “I still can’t see who it is or anything.”

The outlet reported that Sgt. Mattingly “could make out a man and a woman in the darkened hallway” and saw the flash of the muzzle before the bullet struck his leg.

According to the Courier-Journal, “No evidence has been presented indicating that Mattingly was shot by anyone other than Walker, and attorneys for Walker and Taylor’s family haven’t disputed that it was Walker who shot Mattingly.”

6. Inaccurate claim: Police shot Breonna eight times.

In April, attorneys for Taylor’s family filed a civil lawsuit against the three policemen who fired their weapons inside Breonna’s home. The court document said Taylor had been “shot at least eight times by the officers’ gunfire and died as a result.” Crump’s tweet from May 11 repeated this claim, as has almost every news organization that covered the tragic episode.

But according to the Courier-Journal, Taylor’s death certificate from the State Registrar of Vital Statistics records her cause of death as “multiple (5) gunshot wounds of the body.”

The outlet noted that “neither ballistics reports nor Taylor’s autopsy have been released publicly.”

The coroner’s office listed her time of death at 12:48 am.

7. Inaccurate claim: Breonna worked as an EMT at the time of her death.

A press release issued by Crump’s law firm identified Taylor as an “EMT,” an acronym for an emergency medical technician.

A fact-check from the Courier-Journal concluded that Crump’s description of Taylor was “partially true,” finding:

Taylor joined the city as an EMT recruit in January 2016, became a full EMT by June and left the Metro Government in November 2016. 

Local attorneys for Taylor’s family have clarified that she was working as an ER technician at two area hospitals at the time of her March 13 death, with aspirations of becoming a nurse.

EXCLUSIVE: Kyle Rittenhouse Wasn’t the Only One Carrying a Gun in Kenosha – NUMEROUS BLM RIOTERS HAD GUNS THAT NIGHT TOO (Photos)

It looks like the atmosphere in Kenosha Wisconsin was more dangerous and volatile than has been reported to date on the night of the Kyle Rittenhouse shootings.  Numerous BLM rioters also were carrying guns. 

17-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse was charged with 170 years in prison for his actions in Kenosha, Wisconsin on Tuesday night.  Rittenhouse killed two men and the question is whether it was in self defense.  Hopefully a fair court will come to an accurate judgement on his case. One charge against Rittenhouse is related to him carrying a gun that night in the streets.

We already knew that there were other individuals with guns who were protecting the streets of Kenosha from looting and destruction that night:

We also know that one BLM rioter who was chasing young Rittenhouse later that evening and who Rittenhouse shot in the arm was carrying a gun.  The man shot in the arm is reportedly a man by the name of Gaige Grosskreutz. He is connected to the far left group “People’s Revolution Movement” and he has been arrested previously and may be a felon.

Grosskreutz was carrying a gun when he was shot. He pulled out a gun from his pants and then his arm is nearly blown off by Rittenhouse.

But now we have uncovered pictures of other individuals in the BLM riot crowd who were also carrying guns that night.

One individual was wearing camo pants and had a beard – ‘Camo Man’ – was carrying a gun  He also appears to have an Antifa tattoo on his forearm:

Camo man was clearly carrying a gun that night in Kenosha:

Here is a better picture of Camo man.

Another BLM rioter in the streets of Kenosha was a man in a blue shirt and a Black Lives Matter mask:

‘BLM man’ was also carrying a gun:

The situation in Kenosha was very dangerous the night of the Rittenhouse shootings.  Many BLM rioters also had guns.  No doubt this is the same in other Democrat cities around the US where BLM rioters are looting and destroying these cities.  Why do Democrats want this?

Many Corporations Are Betting On Marxism For The Culture War Win

Many Corporations Are Betting On Marxism For The Culture War WinMany corporations, including most professional sports, have frantically jumped on the Black Lives Matter train to virtue-signal their opposition to systemic racial oppression without consideration of the fact that the country has produced millions of black millionaires, billionaires, Senators, Congressmen, Attorney Generals, Judges, business owners and leaders, and of course, the historic election of President Obama.

Recently, Goodyear Tires thought it time to segregate its employees into two camps: acceptable and intolerable. Employees with a desire to endorse Black Lives Matter and LGTBQ issues would be allowed to voice that support while those who support President Trump and the police were allowed and expected to shut up. No exceptions. They quickly ran it back after President Trump tweeted about boycotting their tires and their stock price took an immediate hit.

HAWORTH: Riots: The Democrats’ Strategy of Extortion

Since the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis, violence has reigned. For months, cities have fallen victim to waves of clashes between rioters and police, the looting of businesses, government property, and homes, and physical damage to those who fall foul of the raging mob.

Rather than tensions being “released” — based on the obscene assumption that giving people “space to riot” is a short-term method for handling unrest tensions are rising day by day. Last night, after the conclusion of the Republican National Convention on the South Lawn of the White House, Senator Rand Paul and his wife were intimidated, threatened, and physically assaulted by “protestors.”

This shocking incident occurred on the same Washington D.C. streets where a guillotine was constructed to stage a mock assassination of Donald Trump.

Much has been said of the Democrats’ role in the violence gripping our streets. Most of us are aware of the recent history of figures in the Democratic Party flirting with the notion of violence with careful inflammatory language. For example, in 2018, Maxine Waters  who is no stranger to violence in our city streets — encouraged supporters to harass Trump administration officials, saying “if you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd. And you push back on them.”

While such incendiary language is nothing new, a morally significant line has now been crossed by both the Democrats and their mainstream media stooges. We no longer live in a partly imaginary world of inflammatory language and political hyperbole, but in a brutal reality of constant violence in our streets. The mainstream media have crossed a line by consistently denying that the violence is even occurring, providing us with the overnight clichés “mostly peaceful protests” and “otherwise unarmed.” The Democrats have crossed a line by justifying the riots as an “understandable” reaction to “justified” anger, or even refusing to acknowledge that violence has any impact on their own constituents. If “silence is violence” as they repeatedly claim, then surely some Democrats are the most violent among us?

The fundamental problem at the heart of this chaotic crisis has two elements. The first is the shameless and blatant dismissal of journalistic and ethical integrity in favor of furthering a political narrative. The Democrats and the mainstream media show no concern for the importance of the concept of evidence, and instead judge every instant in real-time based solely on the skin color of those involved. After Jacob Blake was shot by police in Kenosha, Wisconsin, the Left required no further information beyond the fact that he is black and the man who shot him was a white police officer before they assigned ultimate innocence to Blake and ultimate guilt to the police officer, and therefore, the law enforcement community in general. Details like Blake’s open arrest warrant, that he allegedly resisted arrest, and that he was shot as he reached inside his car where a knife was found are irrelevant if all you care about is skin color.

The mainstream media have sacrificed the patient and time-consuming quest for truth, instead favoring the instant gratification of political profit, leaving the Democrats free to lie with impunity. As a result, Kenosha now lies in ashes as insignificant collateral damage in the “battle for justice.”

The second element is that the Left views anarchist violence in the streets as a unique opportunity they hope to wield to their advantage. Much like the “ring of power” in “The Lord of the Rings,” they believe that, unlike their predecessors, they will be able to harness the power of the mob a mob they themselves fear. Much like the businesses who place “Black Lives Matter” signs on their now broken windows in hope that they will be spared, politicians like Kamala Harris and Joe Biden see the violent mobs from beyond their barbed wire fences and security details as both a danger and an opportunity. The fact that violent revolution will consume them too is a long-term concern which is irrelevant in their short-term yearning for power at any cost.

Ultimately, this combination of violence and deceit proves the moral depravity at the heart of the Leftist platform in the United States to be one of extortion. Joe Biden has called the violence in our streets a symptom of “Donald Trump’s America,” and Democrats routinely state that the only solution to this violence is to elect Democrats into further power.

To defeat this notion, we must notice the Left’s reliable pattern. When Black Lives Matter riots engulfed cities like Ferguson under the watch of the Obama administration, the White House wasn’t to blame. It was “systemic racism,” for which the solution was further Democratic Party rule. When riots engulf cities today — cities run by Democrats for decades — it is now the fault of the White House, for which the solution is the return of Democratic Party rule.

For the Left, the Democratic Party is the solution to all of our problems, even those they themselves cause. The implicit (and sometimes explicit) threat is that if you don’t vote for Democrats, the violence will continue. Effectively, your ballot is a paper envelope stuffed with cash, handed over with the hope that it will temporarily prevent your neighborhood gangster from breaking your legs.

These particular gangsters come to collect every four years.
