The Leftists are expecting riots

 So if the Leftist Mayor of Chicago is expecting riots, then one might think that the rest of us should be expecting them as well, wouldn’t you think?

I mean, at the end of it all, It is possible that they are overly afraid that there will be riots like has happened TWICE already this year, and are just (for once) preparing for the worst (The city’s businesspeople are NOT gonna let her get away with failing to protect the downtown area again, you can bet on that…) But since the Coty is planning on riots, I am gonna plan for Riots to happen as well. And if it is gonna happen in Chicago, a pretty Leftist areas, then I expect it to happen in most other Blue cities as well. 

Seems that a LOT of Chicago businesses (at least the downtown ones, anyway) are planning on riots…boarding up and hiring security. I do know a small jewelry store near downtown is planning on closing early Monday and has made plans for the entire inventory to be elsewhere for a few days to a week. They can’t afford to be looted a third time. 

One way to look at things is that if the Leftist leaders are planning on Riots, then one might think that they expect Trump to win, and are planning for the Chaos that that will engender from the more radical of their members…

Redefining:

 So what with the election all close and shit, we are getting BOMBARDED by political ads from the city of Chicago and its environs. 

The new buzzword in the attack ads is “Extreme”.  (which might be effective if nearly every ad didn’t use it)..

A candidate is “Extreme” if he or she doesn’t want things like free shit, health care, abortion, etc. 

They are “Extreme” if they don’t want all the liberal goals….if they want normal conservative things.. law and order, not having the government pay for everything, if they think that people have choices, and their choices should have consequences…

In other words, anything that doesn’t go along with the Liberal Agenda is “Extreme”…even if that “Extreme” view was the nor  as little as 10 years ago.

I never realized how “Extreme” I was…..

Chutzpah

 SO it seems that Kenneth Walker is being sued for “Causing Emotional Distress“….by Louisville Sergeant Jonathan Mattingly….one of the officers who was involved in the ill fated no knock raid that ended up in the death of Breonna Taylor. 

Now, forget the controversy around Ms Taylor’s innocence or guilt (remember, she hadn’t been charged with anything, much less had a trial, so her innocence or guilt had not yet been established)…forget about the fact that this no-knock raid was unnecessary, be she innocent or guilty…

Here is a cop, who was all tac-ed up, ready for a gunfight, executing a no knock raid, who had ONE shot fired from the apartment, suing for “Emotional Distress”. 

“If you can’t handle the heat, stay out of the kitchen”. This lawsuit should be tossed. Getting shot at is a possibility when a cop goes on a raid…especially a no knock raid. That’s why they wear armor. When one of the sheep fights back, thinking his home is being invaded (Hint: It WAS being invaded, only the invaders were COPS) and a cop gets shot, well, that is part of the possibility of what might happen on this sort of job. This isn’t walking a beat, this is INVADING someone’s home.  

I hope this suit gets tossed out. Even more, I hope that Mr. Walker Mattingly gets sued for court costs. 

I’m all about supporting our police, but at some point, we gotta say “enough”. Now is that time. 

cognitive dissonance in reporting:

 So lessee here:

Trump is doing and has done everything wrong coronavirus wise….Hospitals are full to overflowing (or MIGHT be soon, anyway) there is a SURGE in cases across the country and this is entirely the fault of Donald J. Trump.

Next story: Coronavirus cases SURGE across europe and parts of Asia, despite these countries taking proper steps to corral and contain the virus. 

Who knew Trump could affect the rest of the world as much as he affects the United States, coronavirus wise? 

Look, newsie folks, I get that you dislike (if that is not too weak of a word) The Donald….But c’mon man, get a grip on rationality. 

Campaign ad questions:

 Why do the Democrats (and Liberals) hide the term “Abortion” with the phrase “A woman’s Right to Choose” and “Women’s health care choices”

Look: I am nether for nor against abortion. Not taking a stand either way here.

But call it what it is, stop hiding it with code words. 

Yes, I know it is too much to expect liberals to be honest, but still….

More looting in protest

 So a cop in Philadelphia killed a man with more melanin than the cop…

So the people in Philadelphia rioted and, of course, looted stores in their neighborhood.

‘Cause nothing shows your thirst for Justice like looting the neighborhood Family Dollar store, Amirite? 

Especially if it will give you a reason to complain later about “No one wants to invest in “Minority Neighborhoods”…”

And they keep the “Sky is falling!!!” meme going

 Have you noticed that although the number of deaths from Covid is not rising, the media keeps pushing the “hospitals are overwhelmed” story? 

The latest I have seen is “hospitals may soon need to ration care”….”MAY” being the operative word. we’ve heard it for the past two weeks, but they keep repeating it….That is the story we heard last time too, when they were pushing the fears of 2.2 million deaths…back when they said we needed to shelter in place for two weeks to “Flatten the Curve”….back in March. 

I think that this is another attempt to scare us and keep people afraid…..

But what is the end game? What do they get at this point? The election is essentially decided by now. Few people have not made their choice….if there is gonna be fraud, it is already in place. It can’t be the election, I don’t think

Why keep ratcheting up the fear? 

One week deadline:

 So, just as an exercise….

What items will you need to purchase to keep your life “normal” in the next 3 weeks?

Forget about the following weeks (which may well also be problematic) or the Thanksgiving or Christmas season, or anything beyond the next three weeks. Just think about the week leading up to the election and especially the two weeks beyond that.

Likely, you are stocked up on TP and such, (if not, get shopping!). What I am talking about is things you would normally buy to eat, clean your house, keep your routine (going to work, to other places, church(if that is an option) , etc)…..Got enough gasoline? 

If you can buy, and store, either on a shelf or in a fridge or a freezer the foods you would normally buy then I suggest that in the next few days, you do so. If you can buy, and safely store enough gasoline for a week or two of “normal” consumption, then you might be well advised to do so in the week prior to the election.

Medicines? Yeah, same same. Call yer Physician and see if you can get your maintenance medication filled this week. 

Remember, even if it is unlikely that there will be “Civil Unrest” in your immediate neighborhood, your grocery store gets it’s supplies via truck from a warehouse…likely in a larger city. So does your pharmacy. So, likely, does your gas station get it’s fuel from a tank farm near (or in) a larger urban area. 

It is quite possible that the Urban areas will get some sort of Blue fueled “Civil Unrest” should Donald Trump win the election. We have seen that the police are less than effective when such unrest has happened. 

Let us not forget that in many areas, the final vote count will likely not be known for at least a week past Nov 3rd.  So you gotta plan for a week of uncertainty and at least a week past that for things to flare up and fade out. 

Plan accordingly.
