Standing Up For The Country

Portland has been a breeding ground for Antifa and other violent groups for many years. As noted yesterday, it is now a live experiment to see just how far Antifa, BLM and others can go before the local government will step in to stop them. It seems that, so far, there is little that the anarchists can do that will prompt the Marxist mayor to say enough. And forget about the bought-and-paid-for Soros Governor.
If you speak out against these groups, there is a good chance you will receive a beating. Just ask Andy Ngo. According to Antifa, et al, speech that they disagree with is violence against them. This allows them the “right” to respond with physical violence.
Are the Democrats starting to lose control of their voting base? Clearly the proletariat do not want to listen to Nancy Pelosi here. Have the ancient and increasingly senile leaders of the Democratic Party become so desperate to retain power that they will have to be dragged screaming and kicking from their sinecures?
Professor William Jacobson, clinical professor at Cornell Law, published a column on Real Clear Politics on Wednesday. In it Professor Jacobson talked about Cancel Culture. I urge everyone to read the entire article at Real Clear Politics.
News is now surfacing that some NCAA conferences are punting on a full football season. Why this is happening is a topic for another post. While many of us have recognized for some time that higher education in this country has been compromised on the altar of political correctness, the recent lack of intestinal fortitude by Penn State is stunning.
The month of May saw record-setting job gains. The May jobs report was expected to show job losses of 7 to 8 million. This was the analysis of the financial experts and Nobel laureate economists. Instead 2.5 million jobs were ADDED to the economy. Never in the history of the country have we seen a turnaround like this from one month to the next. The financial experts got the sign wrong!
More winning. The June jobs report is now available. The “experts” had predicted a gain of around 2.5 million jobs. However, the “experts” were way off again. June saw a growth of 4.8 million jobs, shattering the record set in May. In addition, the May numbers were revised upward by nearly 200,000 jobs.
Nike is reporting a loss of $790 million (51 cents per share) for its most recent quarter. This compares to $989 net income a year ago, just before they made their ill-advised business decision about Colin Kaepernick. Everyone remembers Nike went all-in on their social justice model to make Black Lives Matter activist Colin Kaepernick the image of their brand.
Nike has been trying various approaches to hide the absolutely devastating effect that decision has had on their business. Nike knows how bad a decision this was. How many times have you seen a Nike commercial this year that featured Kaepernick as their brand image?
Recently we have seen more and more memory fails among elite Democratic politicians. Joe Biden’s are legendary and appear to be fueled by being in the early stages of dementia. There have been a number of others who appear to be inflicted with the same type of memory lapses.
Two days after a six-block section of Seattle, Washington, was commandeered by looters and rioters, Governor Inslee said he was not aware of the CHAZ section of Seattle. This was despite the fact the group had forced police to abandon a precinct two days before and had stormed City Hall the day before. So, Inslee was saying he did not know that the local government of one of Washington’s largest cities had allowed a section of its city to be taken over by anarchists.
PDJT has said numerous times that the most dangerous cities in the country are run by Democrats and, in most cases, have been for decades. The Washington Post published an article that went to great lengths to prove him wrong. This is what they came up with.
So, Is PDJT correct? Well, not ALL cities are currently run by Democrats. Jacksonville elected a Republican for the first time in decades during their last mayoral election. San Antonio has non-partisan elections. Their mayor is far left. ...
There is a lot of activity going on at the DOJ. Attorney General William Barr said Thursday that the DOJ has about 500 investigations underway across the country. These investigations are looking into acts of arson and destruction associated with the riots over the past several weeks. Dozens of indictments have already been presented.
