Democrats Reject Law and Order

 The American Spectator; Chicago awash in crime.

"And oh yes. The governor is telling his citizens not only to live with crime, but if they are going to monitor anything, it should not be criminals, but ICE agents. Really."

Calvin Coolidge was not amused. 

 It was 1919, and the Republican governor of Massachusetts, Calvin Coolidge by name, had had it with a lawless “police strike” in Boston.

"Almost 100 years later, in 2018, The Washington Post would note:

"The phrase ‘law and order’ was used as the title of a 1919 speech given by Calvin Coolidge in response to a police strike in Boston. Coolidge, then governor of Massachusetts, had called in the National Guard to quell a weekend of lawlessness when the department attempted to unionize. The Boston papers characterized the cops as Bolsheviks who set out to destroy civil society.

"“There are strident voices, urging resistance to law in the name of freedom,” Coolidge said. “They are not seeking freedom for themselves; they have it. They are seeking to enslave others. Their works are evil. They know it. They must be resisted.”

"The future president added harshly, “Laws are not manufactured. They are not imposed. They are rules of action existing from everlasting to everlasting. He who resists them, resists himself. He commits suicide. … To obey is life. To disobey is death.”

"By 1968, GOP presidential nominee Richard Nixon had revived the Coolidge phrase and campaigned across the country for a return to law and order.

"Nixon’s campaign slogan resonated — with reason. In 1968, Dr. Martin Luther King and Democratic presidential candidate Senator Robert F. Kennedy (father of HHS Secretary RFK Jr.) had both been assassinated. During the last four years of Democrat President Lyndon Johnson’s presidency, riots had broken out in major American cities.

"The riots had begun in New York’s Harlem in 1964, moving on to the Los Angeles Watts section in 1965 and, in massive fashion, to Detroit and Newark in 1967. History records that following the assassination of Dr. King, there were disturbances in over 100 urban areas around the country.

"In Chicago specifically, the riot there — per Wikipedia — “left 11 Chicago citizens dead, 48 wounded by police gunfire, 90 policemen injured, and 2,150 people arrested.”

"Chicago has a history of facing crime on its streets. And right this minute, Chicago’s crime problems are making headlines again. Take this headline from the Chicago Sun-Times: “9 killed, 52 wounded over Labor Day weekend, most violent holiday weekend of summer,” with the subtitle, “As President Donald Trump threatens to send the National Guard into Chicago to quell violence, violence surged, with 16 people wounded over the weekend in three mass shootings. Other attacks left 9 dead.” . . .  More...

What Happened To Tucker?

 Legal Insurrection   

“Something changed with him. I don’t know what changed with him, but what he’s doing now is trying to set Christians against Jews. It’s very clear…. All I know is he’s playing a very dangerous game. He’s doing it deliberately. He knows exactly what he’s doing.” 

"I recently recorded a lengthy (20) minute segment with Aubrey Shines on Real America’s Voice network.

"The topics centered around Israel and the rise of certain influencers – most prominently Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens – who are obsessed with demonizing Israel in different ways. I haven’t talk much on the website about those topics, but I’ve been pretty vocal on X about the malign influence of Tucker (I don’t really comment much on Candace). I guess it’s because he’s turned out not to be the person I thought he was. After leaving Fox News, he has done more to normalize Jew-hatred and bring it into the MAGA movement through the “woke right” than any other major ‘conservative’ personality.

"I didn’t expect this. As readers know, I was on Tucker’s show many times when he was on Fox, and I appreciated the attention he brought to our work. When he was fired, I wrote Thank You, Tucker: “You are not alone. We are with you.”

Put aside the many times Tucker had me on his show to highlight the work we were doing at Legal Insurrection (including here, here, here, here, here, here. here, here, and here).

He did something few other hosts do – he gave voice to the voiceless, to people suffering under the weight of local left-wing pressure, including several parents and teachers we brought forward on the Legal Insurrection website. While appearing on any of the major Fox News shows was good exposure, appearing on Tucker was a launching pad to national stardom….

Tucker will come back, bigger and better, I’m convinced of it.

"I was wrong. Tucker did come back bigger in many ways, but not better. Something has gone very wrong. Maybe his true self finally was freed of the constraints of corporate news, or maybe something else influenced him. But now he is — in my estimation — a malign force and not just as to Jews and Israel, but also to the Trump agenda which he seems determined to undermine. Yet despite his attempts to destroy MAGA, he seems to retain influence – and his relationship to JD Vance will be become a 2028 campaign issue." . . .

Newsom goes after ‘southern states’ for their high crime rate, but doesn’t realize who he’s pointing the finger at 

. . . "If only another version of Newsom could see this Newsom, he’d call him a racist!

“ 'The facts” he says! “Per capita” he says!

"If you notice patterns, you’re a realist, or you deal in pure, raw data, you’re definitely going to be earning yourself one of the left’s favorite labels.

"If you point out that 13% of the population commits more than half of the violent crime, you’re a white supremacist." . . .

 Newsom Dreams of His Draconian COVID Heyday, Creates a 'West Coast Alliance' to Combat RFK Jr., Science – RedState   "One of the reasons I got into political writing was because I witnessed firsthand the devastating effects of the totalitarian, unscientific response of California and other leftist states to the COVID pandemic (I’m looking at you, Gretchen Whitmer). My family was profoundly (negatively) affected, and it's deeply personal to me.

"In the Golden State, it wasn't all Gov. Gavin Newsom's fault (although plenty of it was)—there were many other faceless bureaucrats like creepy LA County Health Director "Not a Doctor" Dr. Barbara Ferrer et al. who took away our freedoms in one of the most tyrannical, anti-American episodes in our history.

"They locked us in our homes for two years. No school. No hanging out with friends. No barbecues, no paddleboarding at the beach. Many who live in free states like Florida think we’re exaggerating, but they have no idea how far the cult of masking while driving alone went, how profoundly our freedoms were taken from us." ...

..."It was like a mass psychosis had taken over the entire West Coast. There was a real "threat to Democracy," but it wasn't what CNN was telling you.

"It is with some disgust, therefore, that I report that Newsom and his ilk have learned nothing—except that maybe slaking their thirst for power was enjoyable to them—because they want to reprise their COVID-vaccine-mask-industrial complex. Never mind that the pandemic is over, they want to stay on the dance floor and enjoy the spotlight once more." . . .

Jasmine Crockett drops ‘ghetto accent 2.0’ after losing her job…

And now, with her seat gone and her spotlight fading, Jasmine Crockett has cranked the act up to eleven. Her new “ghetto” accent is so over-the-top it’s a total parody, very cartoonish, insulting, and downright embarrassing. It sounds like she’s mocking the people she claims to represent."

‘The View’ and 2 of Its Hosts Take Bottom Spots on ‘Most Loved and Loathed’ List – Can You Guess Who Finished Dead Last?

The Gateway Pundit  

"This news really isn’t surprising and only confirms the mountains of criticism placed on “The View” as it has devolved into the Democratic Party’s daytime propaganda show."

"A new rankings list from the U.K.’s Daily Mail confirmed that “The View” is nothing more than a leftist daytime dumpster fire as the show came in last place based on a series of categories in its “Most Loved and Loathed” list.

""On Tuesday, the Daily Mail released their rankings for most loved and most hated talk show hosts based on attributes like bias, knowledge, likeability, and trustworthiness.

The outlet claimed to have captured public sentiment about a number of hosts based on these categories.

"For anyone who has ever seen “The View,” they can already make an educated guess about how poorly the hosts of the show did as they constantly present themselves as biased, ignorant, unlikeable, and untrustworthy.

"Kelly Clarkson and Drew Barrymore topped out the list in first and second respectively, being seen as fun, likeable, and positive, but Sunny Hostin and Joy Behar came in eleventh and twelfth place.

The only candidate to come lower on the rankings than those two was the entire “panel of aging pundits” on “The View.”

" 'Yes, the entire show was ranked dead last.

"Behar and co-host Whoopi Goldberg both earned a 1 out of 10 for neutrality, with Hostin fairing slightly better at a 2. The best performing member of “The View” was Sarah Haines, coming in sixth in the overall rankings."   . . .

Newsom goes after ‘southern states’ for their high crime rate, but doesn’t realize who he’s pointing the finger at

Olivia Murray  

"Gavin Newsom has just gone after Republican “southern states” for their high crime statistics, but he obviously has no idea who he’s pointing the finger at."

. . . "If you point out that illegally-present foreigners are committing mass amounts of crime, both non-violent and violent, you’re a bigot, or a dreaded nationalist.

"Yes, a number of Republican-led southern states do have disproportionately high crime rates…because of the demographics of who’s living here.

"Newsom cites Louisiana and Mississippi, both of which have massive black populations. And tragically, most of the victims in these places are also black: AI stats reveal that in Louisiana, the black homicide rate was “the third highest in the nation, with 86% of victims killed by gunfire.”

"Let’s look at another example: Jackson, Mississippi. Jackson has one of the highest homicide rates in the nation, coming in at 99.5 per 100,000; the percentage of blacks living in Jackson? 81.8%, making it one of “the blackest” cities in America.

"If you haven’t watched “Welcome To The Most Dangerous City In Mississippi, America”, a short, half-hour documentary available on YouTube, I’d highly recommend it." . . .

Bruce Springsteen’s Anti-American Anthem: Honoring the Rust Belt’s greatest sellout — and elitist suck-up.

The American Spectator   

. . . "“He isn’t the voice of American pride. He’s a salesman, a disingenuous one at that. He fooled a nation into cheering its own condemnation.” That’s well put. And I was among the young fools, cluelessly cheering the condemnation and making this working-class liberal a rich man in the process.

Springsteen by Bruno Munier

"It was July 1984, a very late weeknight. My buddy Mike and I closed up Perkins Restaurant in Butler, Pennsylvania, and left about 1 a.m. with a six-pack of Budweiser pounders for the old Kaufman’s department store in downtown Pittsburgh. There we joined a long line of fellow 1980s degenerates sleeping out all night on the sidewalk in quest of coveted Bruce Springsteen concert tickets.

"Perkins is a nice family restaurant chain. The restaurant where Mike and I worked — he as a junior manager and I as cook, dishwasher, and all-purpose grunt — flew a gigantic American flag on a high pole outside Clearview Mall. That flag always pleased patriotic Americans, of whom there were many in our hometown, including among classmates who had graduated from Butler High School the previous month.

"My friends and I weren’t political or ideological. We loved our country but knew little about politics. I couldn’t define a Republican or a Democrat. Like almost everyone in America, however, we liked Ronald Reagan. Even Walter Cronkite had marveled about Reagan, “I never thought I’d see anyone that well-liked ….  Nobody hates Reagan. It’s amazing.” That was evident when Reagan was reelected with nearly 60 percent of the vote, 49 of 50 states, and winning the Electoral College 525 to 13.

"We patriotic teens also liked Bruce Springsteen. Already an established pop-rock star, he had just reexploded on the music scene with a smash album, Born in the U.S.A. The album cover and Bruce himself were bedecked in red, white, and blue. The stars and stripes were his theme. Old Glory was front and center for every performance during Springsteen’s enormously successful year-long-plus tour that hit major cities in America (Pittsburgh twice, both the Civic Arena and Three Rivers Stadium) and around the world.

"When Springsteen, during those shows, belted out the title track to the album, the crowd went nuts with patriotic fervor, furiously waving small and large flags. It was a great American moment.

"Or so it seemed.

"Unfortunately, young people in that era had been conditioned through years of indiscernible lyrics to not listen carefully to the actual words of the often-fatuous ditties to which they hummed and tapped their toes and played air guitar. In days when you didn’t have phones to Google lyrics, you often had no idea what the hell rocker X, Y, or Z was saying. And if the lyrics were sung clearly enough to understand, we morons didn’t really think much about them.

"And there were few starker examples of that than Bruce Springsteen’s “Born in the U.S.A.”

Mockery of the U.S.A.

"When one paused to actually listen to the words of this seemingly patriotic anthem — which capitalized big-time on the surge in patriotism of the Reagan 1980s — you realized that Bruce’s signature song was in reality a protest. Quite incredibly, given how it fooled everyone (our fault for being mindless dupes as much as Springsteen’s fault), the Boss’ famous track was a mockery of the American dream." . . .

Dem Rep. Jerry Nadler Is Retiring; Attention Turns to His Successor

Legal Insurrection  "Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY), who has served in Congress for 34 years, announced that he will not seek reelection next year. He represents New York’s 12th Congressional District, which currently encompasses much of midtown Manhattan.

"In a recent interview with The New York Times, Nadler, 78, acknowledged his reluctance to step aside, citing his belief that President Donald Trump “is threatening the foundations of democracy.” Still, he said he wanted to clear a path for “generational change” within the Democratic Party.

“ 'Watching the Biden thing really said something about the necessity for generational change in the party, and I think I want to respect that,” Nadler told the Times. He added that a younger successor “can maybe do better, can maybe help us more.”

"The congressman has already come under pressure amid the party’s debate over aging leadership. In December, he was forced to give up his role as ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee when it became clear that Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) had the votes to defeat him.

"Though he has long been one of Congress’s most liberal voices — and Republicans are pleased to see him go — his retirement raises questions about who will succeed him. It’s entirely possible that voters could opt for a successor in the mold of Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani, the far-left, antisemitic, current frontrunner in New York City’s mayoral race, whom Nadler has endorsed." . . .

Care To Guess How Many Of The Deadliest Cities In The U.S. Have A Republican Mayor?

 Issues & Insights

"Well, you might ask, what does it matter who the mayor is? The reason it matters is that crime is local. And local law enforcement is what matters."

 “I want to present some facts to the president of the United States, and I imagine this is alarming to the president to learn these facts.” – California Gov. Gavin Newsom.

"In one of his endless attempts to grab a headline, California Gov. Gavin Newsom last week taunted President Donald Trump, saying that if he’s serious about fighting crime, he should be sending the National Guard to red states such as Louisiana, which has a murder rate far higher than California.

Newsom’s attempt to troll the president failed on Sunday, when Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem took the attention-starved governor up on his offer.

“Absolutely,” she said on “Face the Nation,” when asked if the Trump administration would send National Guard troops into cities or states run by Republicans. “Every single city is evaluated for what we need to do there to make it safer.”

"But even if Trump were to follow up on this, he’d likely still end up sending National Guard troops almost exclusively into Democratic strongholds.

"Not for political reasons. But because the most crime-infested parts of the country are almost entirely run by Democrats.

"Here are some facts about crime that might be alarming to the governor of California.

"Are you listening Gavin?

• Of the 20 cities with the highest homicide rates in the country, 12 are located in red states, but only one currently has a Republican mayor.
• And while Shreveport, La, currently has a Republican mayor, a Republican has run the city only 11 of the past 152 years.
• It’s been 50 years since Birmingham, Alabama, last had a Republican mayor.
• The last time there was a Republican mayor in St. Louis, Mo., was 1949.
• Atlanta hasn’t had a Republican mayor since 1879; New Orleans, hasn’t seen one since 1872.
• In Indianapolis, the homicide rate has been elevated ever since Democrats gained control of the mayorship in 2017. From 2010 through 2016, the annual number of homicides in the city averaged around 120. Since then, it’s averaged 201.
• The Republican mayor of Dallas, Eric Johnson, ran twice as a Democrat and switched to the GOP less than two years ago.

Rashida Tlaib Goes on Foul-Mouthed Rant at Pro-Hamas Event Where Speakers Called America ‘Evil’

Rusty Weiss  

"Just curious here, Speaker Mike Johnson, Republicans in the House - How much more do you need to see from this trash individual before calling for her expulsion from Congress?"

"Representative Rashida Tlaib delivered a fiery expletive-filled rant during a pro-Hamas event that also featured extreme rhetoric from speakers calling America "evil" and another who urged the movement to "globalize the intifada."

"Tlaib spoke at the "People's Conference for Palestine" in Detroit on Friday, issuing an unhinged diatribe that harkened back to her "impeach the (expletive)" days.

"Nothing quite draws out the anger and rage in the Michigan Democrat quite like a conference in which a vast majority of the attendees support a terrorist organization and believe the United States and Israel are the actual terrorists. She delivered that anger and rage in spades.

“They thought they could kill us, rape us, imprison us, violently uproot us from our olive tree farms, starve our children to death, and we would disappear," she incited those in attendance. "Well, guess what? Now we’re in Congress and we’re in every corner of the United States.”

" 'Y’all, they just don’t get it. They just don’t get it!" Tlaib continued. "They will never truly comprehend, even after seven decades, that we aren’t going anywhere. We are just getting started. I want to say to all of them, every genocide enabler: Look at this room, motherf***ers. We ain’t going anywhere!"

George Soros (Arabella) Helped ‘Subvert’ the 2020 Election With $2.5 Billion: General Mike Flynn

 LifeZette  

"Flynn asserted that the process was carefully constructed to appear legitimate by disguising foreign funds as originating from U.S.-based entities. He described the mechanism as one designed to obscure accountability."

"General Mike Flynn is raising new concerns about the influence of Arabella Advisors and its connected network of nonprofit and for-profit organizations, which he claims were used to funnel billions of dollars into the 2020 U.S. election.

"Flynn says the structure, aided by agencies such as USAID and the State Department, created a seamless operation designed to disguise the origins of the funds.

"“Again, you’re like the expert on it, but Arabella Advisors created a structure of NGOs nongovernmental organizations and for profit organizations, and they built it so seamless. And they use organizations like USA ID, they use, they use departments like the Department of State, underneath the Obama administration, and clearly underneath the the the Biden administration, but even during the Trump administration, while Trump was getting beat up about Russia gate, you know, he was depending on people around him to like, hey, you know, do your job, right? I can tell you the State Department under guys like Mike Pompeo did nothing. So he was also the CIA director for a year. So I just throw that bombshell out there, but what we’re talking about is Soros is trying to globalize the world,” Flynn said.

"According to Flynn, the network was ultimately directed by billionaire George Soros." . . .
