Reflections From a Murky Pond

The US Department of Justice (DOJ) has declared New York City, along with Portland and Seattle, as “Anarchist Jurisdictions” due to their local governments having permitted violence and destruction of property to persist and having refused to undertake reasonable measures to counteract criminal activities within their borders.

[sic] … in New York City, city officials have allowed violence to spike. In late May and early June, State and local officials allowed looting to take place for over a week, resulting in damage to an estimated 450 businesses. As of August 16, there have been 896 shootings in New York this year, compared to 492 shootings during the same period last year. The shooting victims include children as young as 1 year old. Shootings have been rising in recent weeks, and police reported 244 shootings last month compared to 88 in July 2019 — a 177 percent increase. While violence has surged, arrests have plummeted. In a 28-day period during the months of June and July, arrests were down 62 percent from the same period in 2019. Amidst the rising violence, Mayor Bill de Blasio and the New York City Council agreed to cut one billion dollars from the New York Police Department (NYPD) budget, including by canceling the hiring of 1,163 officers. In June, Police Commissioner Dermot Shea disbanded the NYPD’s plainclothes anti-crime units, which target illegal guns and violent crime. Police officials have cited this decision as a factor contributing to the rise in violence. In light of this unconscionable rise in violence, I have offered to provide Federal law enforcement assistance, but both Mayor de Blasio and Governor Andrew Cuomo have rejected my offer.

Anarchy, Violence, and Destruction in American Cities

This isn’t just idle words either. De Blasio’s outright refusal to maintain law and order and his and his family’s outright, over support for the race rioters of #BlackLivesMatter may well cost NYC more than $7 billion federal grant monies in fiscal 2021 alone. That would be approximately 7.5% of the NYC government’s total expected revenues. And that will be coming on top however much damage the Blacks and their enablers end up costing the city and the $9 billion loss in tax revenue the city faces due to de Blasio’s and Cuomo’s response to COVID-19.

Those of us living in NYC will soon see just how much de Blasio, Cuomo, and their constituencies in #BlackLivesMatter, #Antifa, and other Democrat cells have cost us. The director of the Office of Management and Budget has 30 days to issue guidance to federal agencies on restricting eligibility for federal grants for the cities on the DOJ’s list.

Oh Yeah! Cue the Schadenfreude! The NFL – and the NBA and MLB – got “Woke” and are flailing about now, with plummeting ratings and merchandise sales, as America tunes them out for siding with the Blacks who are protesting and rioting against our nation.

The NFL’s ratings have been in steady decline since they failed to properly respond to Kaepernick’s antics in 2016, letting the rot spread throughout the Blacks that they hired. And it’s just getting worse for them as they double-down on their “Wokeness.”

Ah well, stupid should be painful, and sometimes that pain has to be lethal so that others can learn from it. And the NFL’s – and the other pro-sports leagues = are being mortally stupid. When, due to COVID-19 restrictions, your industry is looking at over $5 billion in lost revenues – a 38% hit to the league’s total revenue – the last thing you should want to do is further anger and alienate your customers by siding with the Blacks against America.

Hehe – as I said, cue the Schadenfreude. I find the prospect of a life without pro sports to be pleasant, especially since it would largely only harm the sorts that brought about their demise.

Not Often, But Sometimes Ass Is Enough

I normally don’t post images of women’s parts. As a rule, I don’t favor images of women that don’t include their faces. But … in the words of Barbossa, “The code is more what you’d call “guidelines” than actual rules.” Sometimes ass is enough, especially extremely fine asses.

The Lamestream Media’s aka the Democrat Propaganda Corps‘ focus on international political-economics and election interference is driven wholly and solely by their agenda. It is not in any way shape or form driven by the truth. You will not see, read, or hear the truth from the barkers of the Lamestream Media unless that truth is harmful to President Trump and/or the GOP or can be spun by their “journalists” into being so.

They’ve been allowed to become the gatekeepers of information. Worse, they and the rest of the Democrats regularly decry any conflicting information as being a “conspiracy theory” or some form of “denier,” e.g., “science-denier,” and they refute the validity of any information source other than the Lamestream Media.

To sum it up, the Lamestream Media’s goal is shape public opinion in certain specific ways to further an agenda. It is not to inform the public or report upon issues of actual importance.

Small-breasted, Flat-chested, members of the itty bitty titty committee – it doesn’t matter the nomenclature. They’re like tapas for the soul; small plates to be sampled and enjoyed. 😉
