This dedication is because some people don't get it. The world wide protests, it's not about one man or one death, it's about them all.

Actually, the protests are about CV19. When you lock down people in urban areas for any significant time period, this is the result. The Flynn thing was just the spark they needed to get this going, but any spark would do.

Heck, I, and a lot of people, predicted in March that if the lockdown went beyond April, we'd have rioting in May. And that is exactly what happened.

This is not rocket science for anyone that understands human nature. And understand this: If you are going to blame someone for riots in a particular city, blame that city's mayor and, by association, the voters that elected that mayor.

Elections have consequences. You not only get the leadership you want. You get the leadership you deserve.

Meanwhile America's angry orange boil is down by 15 points to Sleepy Joe in the latest CNN poll.

The only polls that matter are the ones in the weeks before the election. They can be verified - by election results.

My son in Seattle told me about the shutting down of the freeway and the tunnel. His question, which is the question on many people's minds in Seattle is this: Why are you shutting down the people trying to live their lives and go to work and not shutting down the protesters trying to block traffic?

The SBLM crowd is not winning the hearts and minds of the non-left. This will not go well for them in the end.

Try putting a penny on that tonearm, you're simply repeating yourself.

Apparently it bears repeating.

Remember 2016?

'16 was the reichwing's high water mark, Biff. See 2018's Blue Wave election where the right got steamrolled in the HoR. All signs point to an even larger turnout for the Democratic Party this November.
