Most of us have seen the pictures of the white couple in St. Louis who were defending their property from a mob. Photos and videos of them went viral after a Black Lives Matter (BLM) group broke down the gate to the property and were proceeding en masse to flood onto the grounds.
Alinsky Rule 13. “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions.
Does this sound familiar? We are seeing this played out hundreds, no thousands of times across the country. Someone says “All lives matter.” People storm his/her residence. “Protesters” force the employer to get rid of that person. A public official is forced to resign because of some remark that is twisted out of shape. A picture is taken that appears to show something that isn’t there. That person is fired from his job. The mob comes after the person’s spouse or parent or child. Acquaintances shun you or worse yet, label you with some convenient shaming label.
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?
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. ...
Ferguson, Missouri was Black Lives Matter (BLM) first, big, visible opportunity to organize people toward the mantra of “black lives matter.” This was built around the police shooting death of Michael Brown, the alleged “gentle giant.” “Hands up, don’t shoot” became the story that went viral across the country and around the world.
I have previously written an extended article (A Rush To Judgement) about the problematic issues surrounding George Floyd’s death. Floyd’s death has been co-opted by people who would like to overthrow the current government. They have used the outrage from a viral video to advance the cause of ridding the country of law enforcement. There is also an ongoing attempt to erase the history of the country.
All of this is a discussion for another time. Mark Wauck has published a much more extensive analysis of Floyd’s death that enforces many of the problems that I highlighted before. It goes much further than I did. It is long and technical in nature at times. But, if one wishes to understand what the officers did, it is a must read.
The headline by the Sun-Times Media Wire was “101 shot, 14 fatally, over Father’s Day weekend in Chicago.” The weekend saw more shooting victims but less fatalities than the last weekend of May, when 85 people were shot, 24 of them fatally — Chicago’s most deadly weekend in years.
The vast majority were black-on-black shootings and killings. In other words, business as usual. This is why #BlackLivesMatter is a complete joke. Don’t the lives of the 14 that died over the weekend matter? What about the 24 killed during the last weekend in May?
In a country where three-word slogans are popular, none garners more recognition right now than “black lives matter.” This has become the mantra that has destroyed sections of our major cities. And anyone who suggests that “all lives matter” or “blue lives matter” is putting his livelihood and, in some cases, his very life at risk.
The Democrats and their allies in the media are good at generating slogans like “black lives matter.” There have been recent events where people have literally fallen down and worshipped at the feet of those who support the organization Black Lives Matter (BLM).
Hillsdale College is one of an exceedingly small number of colleges that does not take federal money of any kind. As highlighted on their website, they offer an education “designed to equip human beings for self-government.” They teach that “freedom can only last if you and I choose to act as people of character.” They do this without bowing down to demands from our federal government of what a college education should be.
Founded in 1844 by Baptists, Hillsdale is a non-sectarian institution whose teachings are “informed by Christianity’s moral teachings.” Its founders were abolitionists and feminists so the college has admitted blacks and women since its founding.
Sheriff David Clarke (Milwaukee County, Wisconsin) went on CNN with Don Lemon several years ago to talk about police shootings and police violence. Clarke’s message is more important today than it was when he was on Don Lemon’s show.
What the media won’t acknowledge is what Lemon was desperately trying to keep Clarke from expounding on. That is, Black Lives Matter (BLM) fuels anti-police violence. Clarke points out that he had been predicting violence against law enforcement officers for two years (that would be since the Ferguson incident).
