Due process is no more in
Brooklyn Center, Minnesota

On Sunday, a Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, police officer, while trying to taser Daunte Wright, who was violently resisting arrest, shot him instead. Within hours, the Minneapolis suburb, which is almost 30% black was threatening the police, rioting, and looting. That’s barely a headline nowadays. What was more interesting and, to born-and-raised American citizens, more disturbing, was the fact that, when Brooklyn Center’s city manager insisted that the police officer still gets the benefit of due process, the City Council promptly fired him.

With the apparent loss of minnesota, which no longer deserves to be capitalized, that leaves us with only 46 stars on the flag. California, Washington and Oregon have been gone for years. All in all, I think we're better off and will be a stronger union.

No due process, no rule of law. The rubes on the city counsel won't like the result.

This is the new norm but no longer shocking when I hear it. Threats of burning and looting in large black populated cities don't bother me at all, it's expected. Guilty or innocent Chauvin is already guilty and Minneapolis is going to burn some more if there's anything left to burn and loot and I don't care. Portland and Seattle so what when there's nothing left what are the woke crowds going to do? Tearing up your own playground is not a smart thing to do it's hot in the summer and cold in the winter when you stop something you need like safety and utilities from flowing. Carry on you crazy woke idiots.

Due process has long been gone and I guess we are at the point where it's safe to openly admit it. We have referred to it as a double standard when if fact its far worse than that. Our legal system has been so perverted that it now serves as a means to enforce the progressive woke communist agenda. Real life impacting consequences are meted out for running afoul of leftist theology while real crimes against the written law including the constitution are not just unpunished but at times rewarded. We are not the country a piece of parchment says we are, we are who act as, and I don't like it one bit.

We can also write off New York and the Chicago chunk of Illinois. Blacks have gone feral and continue to beat down elderly women in the street. Nobody talks about due process there and the police take no action whatsoever.

The police everywhere will soon be driving around with the Sergeant Schultz attitude, "I see nothing." Every arrest now has the potential to end a career although that stupid woman in Brooklyn Center should have her career ended. That was rookie-level stupidity and made another saint out of a piece of trash.

There are some good previous posts. I’m not concerned here in Texas. My family will not be victims. Wasn’t the looting and rioting Trump’s fault? Wasn’t it supposed to end under Biden? The low information voter better get it together on the need for law and order. There are some very sinister forces in the world trying to divide us. The problem is spiritual. Oh, and cut the cable. ABC I’d reporting the problem is white supremacy. Have them lost their effin mind?

They're finding out what happens in a society that hands over its government to the lowest common denominator in that land, namely the criminals. These aren't "political marches" they're outright vicious crimes being committed by arsonists, rapists, thieves, and thugs. We're all waiting for the watershed moment, which WILL come, wherein Patriots will join forces with National Guard and local law enforcement to cleanse this vermin from the realm. There's nothing here that can't be solved with a greater "righteous" violence directed right back at the perpetrators. Turn us loose, please.

'd like to take a rational look at the confrontations among cops, motorists, and pedestrians. When we see incidents of cops shooting blacks (which are the only shootings the media cover), one thing becomes clear: resisting arrest often ends up with a loss of life. Something else is obvious: when a cop is the one losing his life, it's practically overlooked by the media. When a police officer, whether during a traffic stop or a street stop, is making an arrest, the person being arrested has no right to resist.

The words “epic” or “magnificent” are becoming cliched because they’re constantly used as clickbait headlines for things that are anything but “epic” or “magnificent.” That’s a shame because both words apply with their original force to Tucker Carlson’s opening monologue on Monday night. He brought both logic and passion to explaining that the Democrat party’s open borders policy is deliberately intended to import people who will vote for Democrats. In hindsight, what he said is completely obvious but too few people think about illegal immigration in the terms Tucker did. More must if we are to preserve our liberty-oriented, merit-based, constitutional republic.

As far back as 1996, Mikhail Gorbachev laid bare the agenda driving climate alarmism: “The threat of environmental crisis will be the international disaster key to unlock the New World Order.” He was underscoring the importance of advancing Marxist objectives by creating an emergency to convince people they must surrender freedom to be safe. That idea has been parlayed over the decades into a global campaign of the Left to control vibrant economies, end individual freedom and national sovereignties, and impoverish the world. In America, it is being served up as the Green New Deal (GND).

The National Guard has been called out to control rioting in the wake of a police shooting in the northern Minneapolis lower-middle-class suburb of Brooklyn Center (whose Caucasian population is 44.5% according to Census Bureau estimates).

I am not a big fan of Chris Wallace of Fox News, but to his credit he called BS on Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg yesterday in an eight-and-a-half-minute interview on Fox News Sunday, even while letting the biggest lie pass with no comment. Wallace let slide the most egregious misrepresentation, that less than 10% of the multi-trillion dollar so-called “infrastructure” bill for which Buttigieg has become a point man is dedicated to genuine infrastructure – roads, bridges, airports and the power grid. That was not of interest to Wallace. There are limits to his willingness to challenge progressives. In fact, Wallace has adopted a new expression, “hard infrastructure"

The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia and the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division decided jointly not to pursue charges against the officer. The decision came after a “thorough investigation” into the shooting of Ashli Babbitt, a 35-year-old who joined others in storming the U.S. Capitol in Washington during a joint session of Congress in January. Babbitt was shot while trying to climb through a broken window into the Speaker’s Lobby, adjacent to the House chamber.

How many Republican Senators voted for it? Zero. Why? It’s because Trump still controls them. They’re still afraid of him.

A New York parent who wants to marry their adult biological child is suing to overturn laws banning incest, saying marriage is a matter of 'individual autonomy'.

The NCAA reaffirmed its decision to refuse to hold college championships in states where laws “discriminate” against male athletes who identify as female. The board of governors issued a statement that “firmly and unequivocally” supports the inclusion of transgender athletes in college sports. The statement comes after several states have passed laws preventing biological males from competing in girls’ athletics. Apparently, the NCAA, which governs rules on competition in college sports, thinks it’s OK for biological males to compete against biological females. The only way they can allow this is if they ignore the biology in favor of being fashionable. In truth, the NCAA isn’t doing anything differently than
