Dismantling the police: BLM Philadelphia to join Minneapolis

According to this article , Minneapolis isn't the only city that's planning on dismantling their police department. According to Sophie Mann's reporting, "The Black Lives Matter Philadelphia chapter is calling for the "complete abolition" of the city's police department in the next five years."

In their own words

"One of the things that we are demanding over five years is the complete abolition. We don't want to see any police in our community. Over the course of those five years, it gives time for the community to begin to build what is needed. We aren't looking to leave any kind of vacancy around the issue of safety," BLM activist YahNe Ndgo told Fox News.

Without police, there isn't safety. That's been proven in NYC, Minneapolis and Chicago. The notion that social workers will replace the police is beyond absurd.

The history of the police force is "centered around the ruling class and protection of the ruling class and being an extension of the system of oppression," said Ndgo. "Quite often, if there is violence happening, by the time the police arrive, that has already occurred and particularly in poor neighborhoods and in black and brown communities. So the police are not really a resource for preventing that kind of crime from happening. Just a response," she continued.

Years of understaffing (and undercutting) police officers has made Philadelphia a less-than-safe city. What's needed is a culture change in Philadelphia, starting with their mayor, city council and police chief. The passivity of the Philadelphia city government helps feed the ineffectiveness of the police force. This sends the wrong message:

It's foolish to think that this won't beget more rioting, violence or disorder. Weakness begets weakness. That's been proven in Atlanta, Chicago, Minneapolis, NYC and Seattle in the last month. That's because there's lots of bad people out there. Dismantling the police is just a way to turn a difficult situation into a terrible situation.

These 'protesters' aren't entirely peaceful . They're there as human shields for the anarchists, looters and rioters.

Minneapolis' man-made utopia?

President Trump rejected DFL Gov. Tim Walz's request for $500,000,000 in federal disaster relief aid. That rejection notice is drawing widespread praise. Conservative talk show host Mark Levin chimed in with this tweet:


Rep. Jeff Duncan of South Carolina, praised the Trump administration's decision to reject Minnesota's request in this tweet:


This says it perfectly:

Governors and Mayors who ordered police to stand down and watch their cities burn shouldn't get a penny in taxpayer aid!

This is what happens when you have activists running the show. Frey was the bigger idiot of the 2 but Walz wasn't far behind in that category. When the crisis hit, neither knew what to do. What's astonishing is that Frey actually stood up to the mob momentarily before getting booed off the stage:
[Video no longer available]
What's interesting is that Gov. Walz hasn't said a thing about the Minneapolis City Council's vote to dismantle the Minneapolis Police Department, aka the MPD. As governor, his primary responsibility is to protect his citizens. Dismantling the MPD won't protect Minneapolis residents. It'll put them in greater danger. A friend who grew up in the area told me Friday that 20% of the buildings on E. Lake St. are up for sale ! People are doing their best to get out of Minneapolis. With the City Council's vote to dismantle the MPD, people simply don't feel safe. Some are retiring while others are moving to safer neighborhoods.

This is what minorities have to lose by voting for Democrats. Democrats are pacifists. If it isn't Jacob Frey, it's Jenny Durkan. If it isn't Durkan, it's Bill de Blasio. If it isn't de Blasio, it's Lori Lightfoot. I could continue but you get the picture.

If this was a natural disaster, Minnesotans would've chipped in. This was entirely avoidable if we'd had leadership. We didn't have leadership this time. It's difficult picturing improved leadership in Minneapolis anytime soon.

The Republicans' assault on the English language is frightening

Derek Hunter's Townhall article is titled "Liberal's All-Out Assault On Free Speech" is a frightening assault on the English language. Frankly, it's sloppy and incorrect. Hunter wrote "While the 'conservatives' at the time were the ones imposing penalties on speech, it's now the liberals seeking to do the same, and worse. The idea of criminalizing so-called 'hate speech' has been popular with college-aged liberals for a while now. While normal people laughed at those stupid college kids needing safe spaces when someone was on campus saying things they didn't agree with and requiring 'trigger warnings' before engaging in normal human conversations on subject that might cause them to need a diaper change, liberals were busy looking for an opportunity to use this childishness to their advantage. They found it: by becoming them."

The people "imposing penalties on speech" aren't liberals. They're progressives. There's a world of difference between liberals and progressives. Democrats like Hubert Humphrey and Daniel Patrick Moynihan were liberal policywise but their liberalism had a healthy libertarian streak to it. Today's progressives, like AOC, Adam Schiff or any Antifa/BLM member, have a fascist streak running through them.

We can't defeat progressivism or the Cancel Culture if we aren't properly identifying them. Cancel Culture's fascism and BLM's Marxism have totalitarian underpinnings to them. They aren't interested in compromise, principled or otherwise. They're interested in domination and total victory. Antifa 'warriors' often sound tougher than they are but their principle tactic is intimidation. In this instance, they ran into police prepared to deal with their intimidation:
[Video no longer available]
These aren't liberal protesters getting chased. They're fascist thugs attempting to disrupt and potentially demolish a city. In this case, they were trying to destroy Portland, OR. This time, the fascists lost.

What we call them determine what weapons and tactics are required for the situation. Against fascists, I know that I'm not changing hearts and minds. My highest priority is protecting myself. That means we should think in terms of getting into a street fight. That means becoming a hardened target. Once we're operating with that mindset, we're properly prepared for the fight at hand.

Jason Lewis debated Paul Wellstone often. At the end of the debate, they'd compliment each other for the good points they'd made. Antifa sees that as a sign of weakness. Lewis vs. Wellstone is like Psalm 23, which says "Yea, though I walk through the Valley of the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil, for Thou art with me." The Street Version of Psalm 23 goes like this: "Yea, though I walk through the Valley of the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil because I'm the biggest, baddest SOB in the valley."

Is the Minneapolis City Charter amendment already in trouble?

The proposed Minneapolis city Charter amendment appears to be in trouble . Commissioner Andrea Rubenstein had lots of questions for Minneapolis City Council members "Jeremiah Ellison, Alondra Cano, Steve Fletcher, Cam Gordon and Council President Lisa Bender." Commissioner Rubenstein "noted that they have heard the 'pain and grief' that exists in the community." She essentially accused the 5 City Council members of rushing the process without thinking things through.

That isn't difficult to imagine. From the start, these activist Democrats have essentially said what they wanted as a final outcome should be for the Minneapolis Police Department, aka MPD, without saying what they wanted to replace it with. Most of the fear that Commissioner Rubenstein talked about comes from the neighborhoods' worries:

She added later in the meeting that she was particularly concerned about the most vulnerable communities in Minneapolis. "They are very, very divided. I fear that if they remain divided, this amendment as it's structured now may fail. And we want a change in the culture, and the way we do things in this city, as much as you do, but we want to make sure we're doing what's right."

These Democrat activist councilmembers are polemicists more than they're interested in serious governance. It's obvious that they didn't think this through because they would've noticed that eliminating the MPD was stupidity on steroids. These activist Democrats didn't notice that their proposal didn't protect their fellow Minneapolis citizens.

Protecting the people is the first affirmative responsibility of any government. Councilmembers Cano, Ellison, Fletcher and Gordon, Council President Bender and Mayor Frey failed Minneapolis residents in that respect. This video is especially damning:
[Video no longer available]
It says "The proposal, which comes following widespread criticism of law enforcement over the killing of George Floyd, would replace the police department with a new 'Department of Community Safety and Violence Prevention' that has yet to be fully defined." That's spin on steroids. I'm betting that this bunch hasn't even gotten past what to call the new department. I'm confident that they haven't figured out what's going to go in it. That isn't how Bender, Cano, Ellison, Fletcher and Gordon think.

Spin vs. reality

Opponents, including Mayor Jacob Frey, have blasted the proposal, saying they feel it is too vague for voters to make an informed decision. Council members, during Wednesday's meeting, said that was intentional, because they wanted to gather more input from the public and wanted to make it easier for future generations of leaders to make changes to public safety.

That's 100% spin from the Council. First, it's apparent that they reached their verdict before they conducted the investigation. What happens if the public opposes the Council's plan? Would the Council admit that they'd made a mistake? Next, this is spin because they aren't thinking about the future. From what I've seen, next month is the future to this bunch.

The Charter Commission could, if it wanted, choose to take up to 150 days to review the council members' proposal, overshooting an Aug. 21 deadline for adding items to the November ballot. At the end of the review process, City Council members are not required to comply with the commissioners' recommendations.

That would deal a death blow to the Council's amendment petition. Finally, there's this:

Some Charter Commission members pushed back on that notion Wednesday night, asking why they hadn't already dropped the police force to its minimum levels or why they hadn't already further boosted additional funding for violence prevention efforts. The Minneapolis Police Department had 892 sworn officers as of June 1, while the charter requires closer to 730, based on the latest census data.

The City Council doesn't want to cut police forces if it can help it. They want the political cover of a vote.

Trump vs Biden, China edition

This slanted AP article does its best to make Joe Biden sound like he's the China hawk. The reality is that he's a China wimp. Biden isn't that bright, either, as this tape shows:
[Video no longer available]
"They're not bad folks?" That's what Biden said right after he said that they aren't competition for us. Had the Obama-Biden economy continued for another eight years, China's economy would've been competitive with ours, if not bigger.

President Trump rebuilt the US economy, rebuilt the US military, then slapped tariffs on China for China's unfair trade practices. This CNBC article sums things up nicely, saying "The 2020 Democratic presidential candidate slammed Trump for tariffs on Chinese goods that sparked retaliation from Beijing and pain for American farmers. Still, he called for the U.S. to 'get tough on China', taking a more aggressive stance than he did when he downplayed the threat China poses earlier this year."

Biden continued:

"President Trump may think he's being tough on China. All that he's delivered as a consequence of that is American farmers, manufacturers and consumers losing and paying more," Biden said during a speech outlining his foreign policy plans at the Graduate Center at the City University of New York. "His economic decision-making is so shortsighted and as shortsighted as the rest of his foreign policy."

Actually, President Trump used billions of China tariff dollars to subsidize farmers while putting the crunch on the Chinese economy. As a result of Trump's "shortsighted" policies, China's economy had its worst year in 67 years . If Biden thinks that China having its toughest year economically in 67 years is proof that Trump isn't tough enough on China, I triple-dog dare him to make that argument through Election Day.

In a statement, Trump campaign spokeswoman Kayleigh McEnany said the president "has repeatedly advocated for the American worker on the world stage by taking on unfair trade practices across the world." She cited Trump's replacement for NAFTA, called the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, his decision to leave TPP and his China policy. She argued Biden "has a history of blue collar betrayals."

Biden talks blue collar jobs. Prior to the China virus, President Trump delivered lots of blue collar jobs. Now that we're getting the virus behind us, President Trump is restoring those blue collar jobs. He's got his economic team working overtime to bring US companies back from China, often companies that left during the Obama-Biden years because we had the highest corporate tax rate in the world plus the worst regulatory regime in the world.

Why would companies move back from China only to get hit with the highest corporate tax rate in the world again? The Trump economic team is already working with companies on bringing them back to the US. Larry Kudlow lays out the administration's actions thus far in this interview:
[Video no longer available]
The Trump economy was essentially white hot. The Obama-Biden economy was like a campfire that just got splashed with water. It wasn't out but it was on life support.

Will Mueller testify before Senate Judiciary Committee?

Lindsey Graham spoke out yesterday, saying that Robert Mueller should testify in front of his Committee if he's going to write Washington Post op-eds. The article states "Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Lindsey Graham (R., S.C.) said Sunday that he will grant Democrats' request to have former special counsel Robert Mueller testify about his investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election before the committee."

I can imagine Mueller not wanting to testify. The reasons' names are Graham, Grassley, Lee, Cruz, Hawley and Kennedy. Mueller wouldn't b worried about answering questions about his op-ed. He'd be plenty worried about answering questions about the Special Counsel investigation he conducted into Gen. Flynn. He'd be on the hot seat answering why the Special Counsel investigation was needed. He'd feel the heat answering why the FBI's DC Field Office recommended shutting the Flynn investigation down when they didn't find any "derogatory information" against Flynn. Imagine how Mueller would squirm when presented with Jim Comey's note that said that the Flynn-Kislyak calls were "totally legit."

Mueller certainly would've gotten that information at the start of the Special Counsel's investigation. Despite the fact that the investigation lacked proper predication, Mueller bankrupted Flynn based on charges that weren't sustainable. Besides partisanship, why would Mueller continue investigating when he knew that a) the Steele Dossier was unsubstantiated, b) the FBI's DC Field Office recommended dismissing the investigation into Gen. Flynn and c) Jim Comey had said that the Flynn-Kislyak phone calls were legitimate?

If Mueller thinks they'll just talk about Roger Stone, he's kidding himself. In the op-ed, he wrote this :

"We made every decision in Stone's case, as in all our cases, based solely on the facts and the law and in accordance with the rule of law. The women and men who conducted these investigations and prosecutions acted with the highest integrity. Claims to the contrary are false."

Let's see whether he'd repeat that testimony. Did Mueller's investigators act "with the highest integrity" when they prosecuted Gen. Flynn after the FBI's DC field office recommended Operation Crossfire Razor be terminated? Did Mueller's investigators act "with the highest integrity" when they tipped off CNN before they executed a pre-dawn raid of Roger Stone?

Let's hear Mueller's testimony to those questions. If he thinks that's acting "with the highest integrity", then people will think, rightly, that Mueller's part of the swamp just like Jim Comey is.

DFL's Conflation Games, absentee ballots vs. mail-in voting edition

This Strib editorial highlights the conflation games that the DFL is famous for. On Independence Day, the Strib Editorial Board published this editorial . The deception of the Editorial Board is obviously intentional.

The Editorial Board's editorial opens by saying "Call it absentee voting or mail-in voting, but the practice of sending in a ballot rather than casting it in person is nearly as old as the republic and, until recently, relatively noncontroversial." It isn't plausible that the Editorial Board wouldn't know the distinct difference between absentee voting and mail-in voting.

In the 4th paragraph, the Strib Editorial Board's editorial continues, saying "That makes the polarization we are seeing over mail-in voting not only maddening but downright frightening. President Donald Trump continues to spread baseless lies about mail-in voting, calling it corrupt even though he, his vice president and others close to him have relied on it for years."

The 'counterpoint' editorial makes a distinction between absentee voting and mail-in voting:

Now, the mail-in voting being proposed by more and more Democrats as we near the November election is different. It refers to a system where registered voters statewide automatically receive a mail ballot , which is sent to their address before Election Day and filled out by the voter before being sent to a designated vote counting location by Election Day.

The Editorial Board fails to make this distinction.

What's astonishing is that the Strib Editorial Board didn't mention this information :

Paterson City Councilman Michael Jackson, Councilman-Elect Alex Mendez, Shelim Khalique and Abu Razyen have been charged with criminal conduct involving mail-in ballots during the election. "Today's charges send a clear message: If you try to tamper with an election in New Jersey, we will find you and we will hold you accountable," Grewal said in a statement. "We will not allow a small number of criminals to undermine the public's confidence in our democratic process."

In other words, the chances for fraud is significant. In a state where it's likely that a U.S. Senate seat was stolen in 2008, it's quite understandable that Minnesotans are skeptical of mail-in voting.

The upcoming elections pose challenges not encountered in modern times. The prospect of voters lining up for long periods, maybe wearing masks, maybe social distancing, maybe not, to use the same, small voting booths and handle the same marking pens is daunting indeed. Then there's the danger to the 30,000 volunteers needed to spend hours inside schools, churches, community centers and other indoor spaces to help process ballots.

The DFL message on mail-in voting is clear. The DFL is saying that 'in-person voting is difficult, people's lives might be put at risk and each voter would be required to practice proper hygiene.'

That's BS. Adults are perfectly capable of social distancing. Likewise, adults are perfectly capable of wearing masks and washing their hands before and after filling out their ballots. It requires a little extra effort but it isn't that difficult. For those who truly would be put in danger, they can apply for an absentee ballot. Absentee ballot applications and ballots aren't difficult to obtain. Different states' laws vary but they're relatively simple to obtain:

It's time to stop treating adults like children. That rule doesn't apply to Joe Biden, however.

Not sure where it was, but somebody received a mail-in ballot for his CAT. And the cat had been dead for 12 years. That's election integrity?

Sen. Scott Jensen's report card

Scott Jensen and John Marty aren't on the same page when it comes to COVID-19. This is where the 2 senators are at:

"We're not going to get through this by having someone serve as an emperor of Minnesota," said state Sen. Scott Jensen, R-Chaska. "I've heard dictator. I've heard tyrant. I've heard emperor," countered state Sen. John Marty, DFL-Roseville. "I know Tim Walz and I don't think he's any of those things."

I don't know Tim Walz but I can analyze the things I'm seeing. According to Scott Johnson's meticulous reporting, we've had 25 COVID-related deaths in the past week: 5, 5, 4, 3 & 8. That's a health concern. It isn't a health crisis by any stretch of the imagination.

While it's subjective, let's introduce Dr. Scott Jensen's COVID report card:


Let's go through Sen. Jensen's report card:

Physical distancing , common sense and surges and peaks: "We've done pretty well."
States rights in terms of being honored by the federal government, "doing pretty well."
In terms of the federal government getting dollars to the states to make things work, so we can support the initiatives for COVID-19, "doing ok."
Suspending air travel and securing borders: "We're doing ok."
"CDC botched up testing pretty good and they didn't tell us and when it did get disclosed ... they wasted more time."
"Civil liberty encroachments?" "When Gov. Walz decides to send out addresses of every COVID-19 cases to 500 law enforcement agencies, it doesn't really sound like we're really protecting people's private health information."

Dr. Jensen then said that he wasn't "holding Gov. Walz accountable for spreading misinformation or reckless advice ... because he initially said we'd have 74,000 deaths", then reduced it to 29,000. "Oh yeah, today is July 13th. This was supposed to be peak day. This was when our intensive cares were supposed to be overrun and we were supposed to have over 1,000 deaths per day in Minnesota. But, gee, over 5 or 6 months, we've only had 1,500 total and 1,200 of those were in long-term care facilities, which actually had active COVID-19 patients shipped into them" so "we don't get a very good grade on that."

Final assessment: "Our report card isn't so great but if you look at the best grades we got, it's because we leaned into you. We leaned into the personal responsibility of Minnesotans and Americans. We asked you 'Please physically distance. Please honor the people around you."

"If I were the teacher grading it, I'd give the politicians a D. I'd give Minnesotans and Americans a B or an A-."

That's a fair report card but I'd take it a step further. Generally speaking, the DFL has stunk at trusting Minnesotans. My state representative, Dan Wolgamott, has voted to support Tim Walz on COVID-related issues 100% of the time. He's trusted the government to make the big decisions. He didn't trust small businesses and families to make the biggest decisions.

Businesses and families are the front-line troops on the ground. They know what's happening in their lives. State government is there to provide support. It isn't there to make all the decisions for us. Thus far, Tim Walz has been an autocrat. He's treated Minnesotans like his subjects. Dan Wolgamott has supported Tim Walz, not Minnesota families.

Finally, I'd give him a D- or an F. I'd give the DFL the same grade.

King Timmy & the DFL vs. the people

The crisis has passed. Over the past month, COVID-related deaths have dropped from an average of more than 100 per week to less than 30 per week. Despite that dramatic drop in COVID-related deaths, the DFL insists that we're still in the midst of a crisis . What a bunch of BS that is. That's intellectually insulting.

Jessie van Berkel's article starts by saying "Minnesota lawmakers returned to the State Capitol on Monday hoping to resolve continuing partisan differences on police accountability, a major public works package and several tax and spending measures. But first they faced off over Gov. Tim Walz's decision to extend his emergency powers for another 30 days to respond to the coronavirus pandemic, a move that prompted the second legislative session of the summer, just four months ahead of the November elections."

Frankly, Republicans should issue an ultimatum. Either vote to end this autocracy or we'll make this the campaign issue this fall. House Republicans don't have a ton of power but they've essentially got a veto over a bonding bill. If the DFL won't vote to strip Tim Walz of his peacetime emergency powers, then Republicans should make that a major issue this fall.

Under DFL rule, we've seen rioting, the unnecessary strangulation of Minnesota's economy and government of, by and for the DFL. The people of Minnesota have lost their voice. Families, both in downtown Minneapolis and across Minnesota, have lost their life savings. The Walz administration's Department of Health kept shipping COVID-positive cases back into long-term care (LTC) facilities. Then they tried blaming these unnecessary deaths on the Trump administration.

Shame on the DFL for spreading that lie. The CDC said that LTCs "may" send COVID-positive patients into LTCs if they quarantined those COVID-positive patients away from the general population. The CDC didn't say shall send.

The DFL is insisting on keeping Gov. Walz's peacetime emergency powers intact with the flimsiest excuses:

Democratic House Speaker Melissa Hortman said she believes the governor's emergency powers are critical as COVID-19 cases rise nationally, a trend that has prompted intensifying national debates about face masks and opening schools in the fall.

Honestly? That's the best the DFL can do? The number of cases are rising nationally? That means nothing by itself.

Hortman and the DFL insist that King Timmy might need those emergency powers further down the road. Given the DFL's history of wildly overestimating the impact of COVID-19, I'm betting he won't need them. I'm betting that the DFL, like King Timmy, just loves the power trip.

But Hortman pointed to the spike in Southern states like Texas, where refrigerated trucks are needed to store bodies because morgues are at capacity. 'We have to very seriously consider what it could be in the future for Minnesotans,' she said. "So the emergency is in no respects over."

Walz characterized the COVID-19 pandemic as an evolving emergency. "The peacetime emergency has provided us tools to save lives and mitigate the devastating impacts of this pandemic," he said in a statement Monday extending his emergency powers. "As cases skyrocket in other states, we can't let our guard down now."

I agree that we can't let our guard down. We don't need King Timmy's emergency powers intact to keep our guard up, though.

Something that's happened with the peacetime emergency powers is that King Timmy and the DFL have stopped listening to Minnesotans:
[Video no longer available]
The Declaration of Independence emphatically states that governments derive "their just powers" by "the consent of the governed." King Timmy isn't asking Minnesotans for their consent through the legislature. He's just issuing one decree after another.
