@SenSanders Multimillionaire career politicians also have too much power. Term limits now!

[Andrew McNeill @AndyMcMFS]

@ArlineL0 @RepJoeMorelle Absent any mitigating circumstances, people tend to vote along party lines. There are more registered Democrats than Republicans, so the same useless politicians keep getting rewarded for doing little to help their constituents.

@news10nbc @WHEC_JLewke Why did they approve the rate hike? The same reason they always do: the taxes on our bills are a percentage of the cost.

@ArlineL0 “That girl is poison…” Perfect lyrics to describe this disaster of a governor.

@dbongino Happy birthday, brother Dan!

@GreggSadwick @realDonaldTrump It’s ridiculous. I think we’re only one of two households in our neighborhood who aren’t rabidly left.

[Gregg Sadwick @GreggSadwick]

But hey, at least the illegal immigrants are happy, right? Politicians (and their media) spent 3 years telling us the border was not an issue, yet here we are. We pay taxes for FEMA services, and when Americans need them the most, where are they? We need to take back our country.

If no one was above the law, people would be getting jailed for destroying a private server with government classified info on it.

If no one was above the law, people would be getting jailed for illegal drone strikes.

If no one was above the law, people would be impeached for admitting IN A CROWDED ROOM they threatened a foreign nation’s president in order to get his son on an advisory board.

If no one was above the law, people would get investigated for insider trading in Congress.

If no one was above the law, actual criminals would be getting jail time, and not having their crimes bumped down to misdemeanors.

We either apply the same level of justice to everyone, or no one.

The Campus Cry-Bullies

How did we get to the point that at our ‘elite’ universities, privileged students were de facto running the universities, resulting in zoom courses for the law-abiding and abbreviated if not cancelled graduation ceremonies for the majority?

Answer: the Columbia pro-Hamas cry-bullies have sized up their faculties, college administrators, and blue-state mayors. These young narcissists rightly have concluded that most privately sympathize with the pampered students—likewise, supporting the Hamas/Gaza terrorist cause, despising Israel, tolerating anti-Semites in their midst— and given worry over their titles, salaries, and careers—covertly siding with these young fascists in keffiyehs.

So, the more the rioters heard of official “deadlines” and “consequences”, the more they understood the subtext of “we don’t really mean it” and laughed their warnings off.
The protestors do not expect January 6th consequences for breaking into closed buildings at Columbia and “illegal parading”—when hundreds were jailed and sentenced to years in prison, and Ashli Babbitt was lethally shot for the misdemeanor of entering a broken window.

Instead, they brag, as did one recent Columbia agitator, that, like those who jump turnstiles on the subway, they all will “be back out in 24 hours.”

So again, the pro-Hamas crowd’s expectations rightly dovetail with the exemptions given the BLM/Antifa thugs of 2020. After four months of riot, arson, 1,500 police officers injured, 35 killed, and $2 billion in property destruction, the perps earned little if any punishments.

Blue-state local and federal officials called that violence “a summer of love”. Or as the current Vice President then cheered on the protestors, “And everyone should take note of that on both levels. That they’re not going to let up. And they should not, and we should not.”

So the students are used to officials loudly talking while carrying twigs. They do not expect to be expelled or even suspended as they vandalize, destroy, bully Jews, block their passage, scream “Death to America”, and bark that Israel and its Jewish population should be wiped out.

Foreign students who break laws also expect they will never lose their student visas and be deported. The more they cry for Jews to, “Go Back to Poland”, they more they mean, “I like it here and am never going back home to those beloved Middle East hellholes I left”.

The whiny students see their faculty as fellow prolonged adolescents, petulant whiners who went straight from graduate school to professorships to tenure, without a way stop in a taxi, on a tractor, or behind the counter.

Both student rioters and faculty then alike see the majority of quiet students who now can’t get to class, enter their dorms, or have a graduation at best as collateral damage, but more likely as “fools” who deserve the chaos they get for the price of their tuition.

Remember, most of the rioting takes place on blue-city campuses in blue states. So protestors also correctly discount the weary official boilerplate and empty rhetoric—and know they will not face the sort of police who in Georgia, Florida, or Texas actually broke up illegal demonstrations and riots, and  carried off the shrieking arrested.

Finally, the students, both American and foreign, view with ridicule and contempt the frightened “Don’t!” Biden administration. They know Joe’s threats to Putin or Iran provedempty, and likely sides with Hamas. And at home he is a timid hostage to a few thousands Muslim voters in Michigan.

They know he has overseen an epidemic of lawlessness in our cities. They know that 10 million lawbreakers with impunity crossed Biden’s destroyed southern border. They know he and Mayorkas are already salivating at the idea of importing thousands of pro-Hamas Gaza “refugees” into the borderless U.S. where they can join their brothers in arms.

So the protests will continue, if not intensify—as the students will correctly consider all college presidential deadlines merely as “negotiable”, and dismiss the law-abiding students and us the taxpayers who subsidize tax-exempt endowment incomes and underwrite $2 trillion in government student loans, as, well, chumps.

Beware of The Deadly Progressive Touch

Recently, viral videos have highlighted the furor—and narcissism—of progressive elites when they rarely face the consequences of their own actions.

The most hilarious video was the defiant DA of New York’s Monroe County, dripping with elite condescension. She felt she had the right to go 20 mph over the speed limit, ignore a patrol car signaling her to pull over, and then in her garage dress down hoi polloi officers for daring to treat her like she was a mere citizen.

Another was the Emory professor screaming (“I am a professor!”) when handcuffed and hauled off her campus by Georgia law enforcement. She exited whining to cameras that she had only “lightly” hit a policeman on the head (“I impulsively hit him on the head very lightly to get his attention and they grabbed me.”). And then there was the Bakersfield fiery leftist who bragged to the City Council about murdering them in their homes, only to flicker and weep in court when facing felony indictments.

Progressive hothouse plants assume their supposed moral superiority exempts them from living by the rules in the manner of others. But sometimes it is not just the police who anger them, but the very Frankensteinian monsters they created who do not cooperate with their degreed and elected enablers.

In California, an epidemic of crime, from theft to assault, has struck liberal politicians in the last few months, including most recently Adam Schiff, the leftwing mayors of San Jose—Matt Mahon—and Los Angeles—Karen Bass, and even the unhinged district attorney of Oakland Pamela Price. Critical legal theory, no-bail, and defund the police apparently offer no protection.

Sen. Chuck Schumer thought it a neat trick in 2020 to assemble a pro-abortion throng outside the Supreme Court doors, and threaten Justices Kavanagh and Gorsuch by name. He grandstanded that they would not know what would soon “hit” them as they reaped the “whirlwind”. Now a pro-Hamas whirlwind hit his own home, in the fashion leftists not long also did with impunity to Supreme Court Justices’ homes—then to the sudden silence of the otherwise loud Schumer.

Berkeley law dean Erwin Chemerinsky kindly invited his own law students to his home for dinner—only to have his hospitality hijacked by pro-Hamas activist students that commandeered a microphone to spout their drivel, leading to a scuffle with his wife. The cry-bully mob offered no exemption to the dean—who in antisemitic fashion was portrayed on campus posters as a veritable IDF vampire. They also seemed indifferent to (or emboldened by?) the fact that Chemerinsky in the past has often offered advice about how to get around statutes prohibiting race-based hiring by not explicitly mentioning the operative agenda of diversity. And of course, in the past he had encouraged more campus protests to combat “racism”.

Most college presidents, many hired under DEI pressures, are now being eaten alive by their own ideologues, shocked that pro-Hamas activists are at heart fascistic and anti-Semitic and, well yes, spout “hate speech”.

So terrified college presidents talk tough, virtue signaling to alumni and donors by issuing “deadlines”, and promising“consequences” —but otherwise usually ending up negotiating and extending or making new deadlines to their campus occupiers. So the pro-Hamas crowd takes over their campuses, and often forces all students either to finish the semester remotely or to have their graduation ceremonies cancelled or abbreviated. And all to the applause of Hamas in Gaza and delight of the mullahs in Iran.

The left in the last 30 years absorbed America’s maininstitutions and hallmarks. And now from Disney and Anheuser-Busch to the Ivy League to CNN and blue-state big cities, it has more or less destroyed their brands and reputations.

The progressive touch eventually turns everything to dross.

It almost doesn’t matter what’s going on or being said and done by the crazed mob at @Columbia, and it almost doesn’t matter what is being said and done at @Harvard or @Yale or any other institution in the United States. The reality is not just that it’s happening, but that it’s being allowed to happen and continue to happen.

For all the millions of Americans who say they’re against it, it is still happening and being allowed to happen nonetheless. Allowing it to happen is complicity in what is happening. The fact that no police, no senator, no congressman, no member of the administration, and not even the President of the United States has stepped in to stop what the entire world sees happening, shows that this is what America represents right now.

It doesn’t matter what may happen in November. It doesn’t matter if Trump wins or Biden wins or anyone wins for that matter. We are a little more than 6 months away from the elections, and 6 months is an age away.

This sheer unprecedented insanity began 6 months ago, and look at just how horrific it is 6 months later. It beggars belief that one must even think what it may be like in 6 months from now while everybody simply stands around and allows it to happen. We are watching the rise of the Nazis all over again, except not over the course of years, but months. Based on the current speed it has spread and grown, God only knows what will come between now and whenever someone out there has the balls and common sense to do something about it.

@POTUS, nobody cares anymore about your stupid policies and grandstanding, and pretending that you’re in control. And it’s not just you. It’s every damned politician and law enforcement official in the entire United States. You all talk, a lot. But you are all in charge of what was once the greatest nation in the world. Look at what YOU have all allowed to become of the United States of America. You have no authority, not one of you, to pass judgement on any nation in the world while you so pathetically and willingly sit idly by while your country falls apart in front of your eyes and yet not one of you does anything about it.

The world used to look at America as the beacon of hope, of strength and of standing for what is right. And today, on April 21st, 2024, you have allowed the United States to become lame hostages to hatred and terrorists.

Leadership is about courage… the courage to stand for what’s right. It doesn’t matter if it’s an election year. Where is your courage? Where is your integrity? Where is your leadership???

The United Kingdom has fallen. Several other countries are falling. But none of them represent what the USA stood for, and should stand for now. This is the time where the US should be setting the example to the whole world. And the only example the US is setting, from all of you, is an example of absolute cowardice, weakness, and how spineless politicians hide behind grey laws to allow them to get away with doing nothing.

Real people are getting hurt, while real terrorists are being allowed and encouraged to run riot and destroy every fiber of what once made America the colossus on the world stage. And as the world watches you all doing nothing, they too sit around scratching their balls doing… nothing.

The fucking Nazis are winning and spreading like locusts, and you’re all dickwaving. You’re not even a Chamberlain. You’re even more pathetic. I never in a million years would have thought I’d live to see America collapse so timidly. You are all in violation of your sworn duties. The world is burning because you’re all so damned weak and gutless.

Oct 7 didn’t just bring out the true face of islamism and extremism… it brought out the true face of your unconscionable and pitiful pusillanimity.

The world needs true leadership now more than ever before. But right now, it has none. You’re simply not cut out for the task at hand. God help us all.

@BobLonsberry @IrondequoitPD @RochesterNYPD Wait, PAB members don’t have to live in the city? How can they possibly understand the unique challenges of urban policing and the people they serve? Isn’t that how the complaint goes for RPD officers living outside the city?
