Chicago killings, year-to-date: 278

Chicago shot, wounded year-to-date: 1365

Chicago total homicides year-to-date: 305

At Breitbart.com: “As of July 28, the Sun’s counter shows 191 Baltimore homicides for 2019, which means the city is well on its way to surpassing 300 homicides for the year.”

These cities are run by Democrats, and have been for decades.

QUESTION – why the hysteria over unfortunate-but-infrequent white mass shootings, but no hysteria or demands for action regarding DAILY outrages within these cities?

(But then, wasn’t it Obama who suggested bringing guns to a knife fight? And, you know, even if “they” don’t bring knives…what the hey, you’ve got your gun…RIGHT?)

At the AmericanThinker.com, there’s an interesting article on the possible cause for all these Republican congressmen announcing retirements prior to the next election.

“There actually are three possible hypotheses that explain, single or combined, this phenomenon:

-(a) Republicans fear losing the majority in their own chamber of the Congress,

-(b) Republicans prefer to avoid a tough re-election, and 

-(c) Republicans are not aligned with the direction President Trump has imposed on the party.”

In the aftermath of abusive federal agency intelligence activities by deep-state actors, we suggest a fourth possible hypothesis could very well exist: dirt-info blackmail.

Deepstaters in the FBI, CIA, DoJ, and NSA have demonstrated that they are not above illegally gathering data which could provide ammunition necessary to force retirements.

We’re convinced that fourth possibility played a role in the 2018 election, where a large number of GOP lawmakers announced retirements…and Democrats took the House.

(A big indicator would be targeted retirements in once-strong GOP states: i.e, Texas.)

…banning food would end obesity; banning pens would end misspelling.

Get it?

Computers, cars, guns, pens – all have one thing in common: left alone, no problem.

An unplugged computer; a holstered gun; a garaged car doesn’t steal, or kill.

Adding a human creates the potential problem…anyone guess where this leads?

Reports say the El Paso shooter had written manifestos prior to Trump’s election.

Democrats quick to blame the President before this came out must now be trying to think of how to avoid blaming Obama…live by the hate-card, die by the hate-card.

No doubt they’ll figure some way to spin it back at President Trump, regardless.

(His last manifesto ‘Inconvenient Truth’ is a riff off Al Gore…why isn’t he blamed?)

For two years we’ve noted that the ‘alt-Right’ white supremacist groups have Left-wing leaders, and there’s little doubt that Leftie billionaires are funding these hate acts.

The Justice Dept. must task a Domestic Terror investigation to go after the funders.

There’s no doubt these acts were horrendous, but why does the Left seize only those periodic, random acts to rant against…while Chicago’s weekly shootings are ignored?

(This last weekend saw 7 dead and 46 wounded in Chicago…while media yawns.)

Democrat elitists don’t care how low they go in order to regain the White House.

Calling for impeachment because of a wacko white nationalist killing spree is a ridiculous but predictable tactic by the Left. Illogical nonsense is their m.o.

Equating secure-borders efforts with an unhinged murderous racist attack is deceitful…

…especially when you consider Obama’s loathsome attacks against police officers arguably prompted assassinations…yet no Republican called for his impeachment.

Absolutely despicable Democrat behavior, but then…that’s how they roll.

Prediction: both El Paso & Dayton shooters will be linked to Antifa.

Which lays the blame squarely where it belongs…on Democrat hate rhetoric.

Anyone…anyone…?

Blue-collar predicted months ago that Michelle Obama would jump in as a late-term candidate in 2020, but a still-strong Trump economy just could be a spoiler.

She has the ego, but pragmatism may rear its ugly head…a strong economy, especially in critical districts, could heavily tilt the playing field in President Trump’s favor.

Facing that potential, with her ego, she may choose to wait until 2024.

Why fight (and maybe lose) a close race, when a ‘change’ message means ‘downturn’?

At the GatewayPundit: “Charles Barkley at Dem Debate: Every Black Person I Know Has Always Voted Democratic – All Those People Are Still Poor”

During the 2020 election cycle, that should serve as the foundational question for every Republican candidate running in the traditional black-enclave Democrat districts:

“How Many Black Voters Can Say Their Democrat Politicians Improved Their Lives?” 

Baltimore; Philadelphia; Atlanta; DC; Detroit; Los Angeles; Houston; Chicago; etc.

‘Representatives’ should actually represent, no?

Listening to the endless epithets of ‘racism’ thrown at President Trump every time he reveals someone’s wrongdoing, more and more people are realizing Trump’s right.

He’s revealed FakeNews for what the mainstream media is; he’s revealed opponent Democrats for the election-hoaxsters they are; now, he’s disemboweled race-hustlers.

For decades, their go-to strategy when faced with rightful criticism is to hurl accusations of racism, homophobia, misogynistic, or xenophobic behavior to obscure the obvious…

…that such rightful criticisms can’t be answered or refuted honestly.

Now, it’s all falling apart for Democrats. Is it any wonder they rant against his tweets?

Far from demonizing Trump, Democrat ankle-biters are exposing themselves. We can only hope that the (generally spineless) Republicans finally take a page out of his book.

This is epic, folks.

As the inestimable Roger Kimball notes today at American Greatness:

“Public discourse in America has long been held hostage to a species of racist moral blackmail that has made it almost impossible to tell the truth about many central social realities. Trump opened the window on that paralyzing darkness when he dared to violate the taboo against criticizing failure when it happened to be presided over by blacks. But to do so is not racist. In fact, it is anti-racist, because it dares to hold everyone, blacks as well as whites, to the same standard.”

“Trump was elected partly because he was “politically incorrect”: he dared to bring the engine of common sense to bear against the malodorous carapace of left-wing ideology…he has been the first chief executive in a very long time to have the rough courage to challenge the entrenched, sclerotic establishment that promulgates an agenda of dependency in order to protect its power and perquisites, surrounding the whole with the sleepless sentinels of politically correct interdiction. “

“Rough courage” – we need more of that in our elected representatives.

Playing a race-card when accused, using their ‘moral blackmail’ of any type, exposes the accused as guilty. This is huge, erasing decades of abuse. We owe that to him.

He’s twitter-paved the way. Those being morally blackmailed? Emulate the master.

Thank you, Mr. President.
