What is it about low crime rates that Democrats don’t like? And what is it about murderers, rapists, pedophiles, thieves, gang-bangers, wife beaters, and other criminals that Democrats find so appealing?
If, as they constantly preach, “Nobody is above the law,” then why do Democrats defend criminals who come into the U.S. illegally? Many of them broke the law before coming here, by coming here, and continue doing so once here.
Democrat elected officials such as Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey say President Trump uses “fascist” and “Gestapo thuggery” to clean up their crime invested city streets.
If that were true those two hacks would be lingering in some dank cold cell since fascist or totalitarian regimes jail people protesting or criticizing authority, or worse. It has been reported that Iran this year slaughtered an estimated 30,000 of its protesting citizens and their organizers.
What’s the deal with sanctuary cities, counties, states, etc. where Democrats scramble to shield known criminals from prosecution by letting them back onto the streets instead of turning them over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) authorities for deportation?
The despicable rhetoric and actions of Walz and Frey are the cause of the problems and violence in Minneapolis. The media in that city ignore it. In his anti-Trump tirades the crazed bug-eyed Walz sounded as though he was narrating 1938’s Kristallnacht, the Nazi-sponsored pogrom against Jews that involved the destruction of homes, businesses, and synagogues.
It looks suspiciously like this disgusting duo and their media allies will do anything to divert attention from the $10 billion or more in tax payer funds lost to welfare cheats on their watch that dominated the news until the anti-ICE lunatics they embrace and encourage emerged.
The Justice Department needs to find and charge the funders and organizers of the fraud and street chaos and charge Frey and Walz with obstructing justice and inciting.
Why do Democrats protest ICE, a federal law enforcement agency that protects them and their fellow citizens from violent offenders? Does lowering crime reduce a source of their incomes by jailing their associates, friends, and relatives? Or does it reduce census figure numbers that shrink the number of congressional seats in their Democrat-run states? Or are they hoping their attempts to block a federal ID program will enable the illegals to vote Democrat.
Sanctuary areas don’t make sense. They should be illegal.
Crazed agitators waving their obscene signs on streets from progressive Portland , Oregon to a tiny handful in conservative Fernandina Beach, Florida obviously hate the United States, and they want every ragamuffin from Somalia to Burkina Faso to come here and be suckled at the taxpayer teat. They all ignore the innocent American victims of illegal aliens that have been raped, robbed, beaten, and murdered on America’s streets. Why?
I’ve observed these confused people waving their obscene signs at passersby and noticed that a vast majority of them are middle aged or older white women. What’s going on with that? Where are the men, the younger gals, the blacks, Hispanics, etc.? Maybe the grumpy goofy grannies were encouraged by their husbands to get out of the house and protest. That way they could have a few peaceful hours to themselves, enjoy a couple of beers, and watch a ball game in peace and quiet. Based on what I’ve witnessed you don’t want to be in a room alone with one of these harpies.
I’ve yet to hear of one of these irrational screechers volunteering to sponsor an illegal alien border crosser or take one home with them. Why not?
ICE is a federal law enforcement agency. And the President has the authority to enforce the law. The ICE officers are administering laws that were enacted by Congress that are designed to protect Americans. Residents in states that don’t like ICE should vote for candidates that want to change the law. Otherwise they should obey the law or face the consequences for attacking those rightfully enforcing it.
Also, if ICE is such a problem, then why is there no crisis in red states?
Referring to the chaotic streets in Minneapolis hypocritical Democrat New Jersey Senator Cory Booker, recently said it would be “extraordinarily challenging to get a deal at all because the Trump administration doesn’t seem to be wanting to back away from their reckless, cruel and unjust actions.” This is the same guy who as Newark’s mayor presided over one of the most crime-ridden cities in the country.
According to a 2016 article in Politico crime rates in Newark, which were falling before Booker was elected, began to creep back up after his election.. It said: ”By 2013, with Newark’s population at 278,246, there were 3,516 violent crimes and 112 killings, both figures higher than when he took office. The city’s murder rate put it behind only Detroit and New Orleans.”
The crime and chaos in blue states isn’t instigated by ICE, its fomented, fueled and funded by Democrats that run those states.

Meanwhile Back At the Ranch: A small cluster of anti-ICE and “No Kings” activists chanted and fist-waved in Fernandina Beach to the curiosity of disinterested and puzzled locals recently.
According to the Washington Beacon and the Wall Street Journal these are among the impotent grey-haired-granny-groups funded by left-wing nonprofits including the Sunrise Movement, an organization founded to stage disruptive protests. It trains activists to demonstrate on the streets. It’s partially funded by the Soros organization.
Speaking of funding, where does local activist and gadfly Sheilla Cocchi, in her attempts to become relevant to the far left, obtain money to rent venues and print literature for her phony Congressman Aaron Bean town halls, since she appears to be unemployed?

Words Of Wisdom: Larry Thornberry, friend, Tampa Plant High School classmate, and current American Spectator writer, sent me a copy of his response to “a well-meaning friend” who suggested a compromise on the trans fad, a current controversial and nonsensical political issue.
Larry admitted that his recommendation would probably never be accepted by the Democrats, “which”, he said, “for some obscure reason, have decided this daft fad is a hill to die on.”
“Your approach”, he suggested, “is far too moderate for the Democrats, who push sexual transition to its insane limit. They have a voting record on this issue, and they brook no restrictions on anyone saying they are one of the other (you could look it up). Woke physicians encourage confused before. The usual institutions enable and promote this delusion.
“This is both insane and harmful. It has its roots in the notion, popular on the political and cultural left, that there are no important differences between men and women beyond size, strength, and plumbing. We’re all just undifferentiated persons they insist, even in the face of overwhelming daily evidence to the contrary. How else do we get an associate justice to the U.S. Supreme Court, chosen because she’s a women, who is married with two daughters, and still says she doesn’t know what a women is? Everyone on the planet until, historically speaking, the day before yesterday, would have recognized this as nuts. Anyone whooping up this crackpot notion a century ago would have been institutionalized.
“Men and women are wildly different. (And thank God! What a boring planet we would have otherwise.) Different in ways that go well beyond hormones. They’re almost two separate species. There are only two sexual teams, and which team any individual belongs too is settled for life at conception. Period. Paragraph. No mulligans. No third way. No free agency. Life ain’t the NFL. A man can no more become a woman than he can become a unicorn, a German Short-haired pointer, or a Buick. And he has no business in women’s intimate spaces or competing with women in sports. In a saner time any man who entered these spaces would have been immediately and rudely ejected, and a no-nonsense committee of father, husband, brother, or boyfriend would have counseled this misguided soul in a way he would not likely forget, even after the broken bones healed.
“I can’t join the chorus of those who say we should ignore the social issues — this being a prominent one — in favor of ‘the important things.’ These matters are important. They go to what kind of civilization we’re going to live in. I don’t care to finish my days in a country with a Secretary of Pronouns, and public restrooms that say “whatever” on the door.”
I should have hung out more often with Larry, maybe some of his wisdom would have rubbed off on me. He grows wiser and more articulate with age.
Where is this all going? Clearly, the left and right can no longer coexist. How is it that these issues are so clearly defined but the left can never articulate a cogent argument for allowing crime and chaos to persist. I am left believing that criminals have become the left’s base. What else can it be?
This all boils down to the tyranny of the minority, i.e. look at Minneapolis. It is the modern day marxist movement with the same intelligence (or lack there of) which propelled the Hitler movement of the 1930’s Germany. History, again, repeats itself!
Too much common sense and logic here for consumption, digestion and even comprehension by Progressives, Dave.
There is not much of a standard for the truth being set by local politicians and appointed leaders in Fernandina Beach or Nassau County . A few known facts is a queer candidate changes her party to run as a Republican, gets elected, then switches back to become a Democrat, and joins with four others to stifle the will of the people. Another member who will benefit immensely from paid parking also stifles the will of the people. A public servant who supported the will of the people is subjected to a smear campaign by a local left wing group for standing up against the other four who stifled the will of the people. Then a state official delivers a report on excessive spending by the County Leaders who never ask the question of how can we decrease spending but collectively disparage the report. A town Police Chief with a history of unacceptable behavior that is only addressed by a claim that the City Manager is “coaching.” The entire City and County Leaders are failing in their responsibility to the tax payers who are being fleeced by both levels of Government. Couple this with a wanna-be reporter that marched in the streets for a group that today has lost a significant level of support nationwide while claiming to be improving the lives of Black People. Why has the gem of NE Florida sunk so low?
