I sat and watched a video this morning of some Portland 'revolutionary-type', who openly said that the goal or mission here...is the abolition or downfall of the United States (as she knows it).
I sat over this for a long while.
In the background, some Catholic priest stood there and clapping his hands over her comments and in full agreement.
There are four essential problems here:
1. In their minds, revolution is a great thing to hope upon, and will dump that evil capitalism business. They seem to think that everyone wishes to live under a bridge, eat wild berries, sip government-procured (free) beer, and be nomads. Yeah, it does appear to be some movie-scenario like in Kevin Costner's 'Postman' movie.
2. With the abolition business....comes the loss of Constitutional rights (like . freedom of religion, freedom of speech, etc). I don't think the Catholic priest grasps that part of the agenda....if he did....he'd be in fear of his profession. Who would be the 'overlord' of rights under this change? Unknown.
3. The more this chatter goes on....the more it looks like April/May of 1933 in Nazi Germany.
4. For the bulk of Democratic voters out there....the working-class people....none of this agenda appeals to them (in any form). You are actually driving them to Trump's door, and helping them register as Republicans
So I don't see this as being some agenda attracting anyone much over the age of thirty. In fact, this looks like a script for some 2-star movie about modern civil war in America, and a bunch of folks on 'good' weed without any grasp of the reality around them.

NY Covid-19 Ban Rules
NY made up this stupid rule about bars being open in the Corona period, and one of the rules is that you have to serve 'food'. Lets be honest....most 'pure' bars serve peanuts and if you live in the south....they might serve a sausage biscuit.
So this NY bar said fine....you could still order a beer, and have a couple of grapes, or nine fries....as part of the 'dinner'.
Personally, I'd order the croutons....they go better with beer.

5th District Georgia Situation
Yesterday, Rep John Lewis passed on. This leaves a curious problem now.
The election? Well, in the 5th district, after the primary....John Lewis had easily won this with around 88-percent of the vote, with Barrington Martin II getting roughly 12-percent.
The opposition? Angela Stanton King. Enthusiasm for her? It was not a real primary situation, and she barely drew 8k votes. Lewis drew 141k primary voters, and Martin drew 20k voters.
So the question here....can a no-name type of young guy like Martin....get the blessing of the party, and maneuver up to win the race?
Will the public turn and ask more questions about King (the Republican)?
Should the health of Lewis been brought up six months ago? You just shake your head and wonder what the strategy was here....to just run, win, and get as far into the process as possible?
The bigger piece of this puzzle? The fifth district is basically urbanized Atlanta, so will the recent shooting figure into all of this, and BLM support matter on the replacement pick for the Democratic Party?

The Economic Disaster in Plain Sight
If you go to cities like Atlanta, Chicago, or Phoenix....the local major sports complex is part of the economy, and part of the tax revenue 'game' that helps the city survive.
People come (sometimes flying in) to catch a game with their team. They might stay two nights in a local hotel (figure $150 a night minimum), spend $200 on food for the weekend, spend at least $150 on entry tickets to the game, and spread around $100 on minor items. That's $750 minimum spent.
In a town like Milwaukee, with the Bucks (NBA fame)....the season matters.
In a town like Detroit, the Pistons season matters.
So you add up Covid-19 worries, BLM/antifa effects, and current negativity among fans....somewhere out there....there is this disaster waiting to happen. Imagine an entire NBA season....crapped out and no income for the city. Imagine also....all the tax revenue that would have flowed into the city....wiped out.
Hotels, upscale bars, and dozens of attachments in each major city....all affected.
So who runs all of these cities...political party wise? Democrats. How will they react when 10-percent of the revenue funding doesn't exist and various jobs were lost because of the sports mess going on? You don't find journalists asking this question.
It ought to be out in full view.
You had three rich idiots in most of these cities....willing to participate in MLB, NFL and NBA franchise operations. People paid crazy-money to watch a game, and spent even more money on fan-junk (jerseys, hats, jackets, etc).
For the cities who paid for the arena, stadiums or parks? Well....what exactly will you do with a stadium but no team? How will you handle a 15k fan arena for basketball.....if no one will come?

The 'Phantom-Killer' Swab Story
With all this hyped-up business on Covid-19 and the true or faked tests....I am reminded of this terror incident in Germany from around ten to fifteen years ago.
So, in the early days of CSI-stuff in Germany....DNA tests started to get popular. They'd come to a murder scene....do the swabs, and look for evidence.
Several cases around Germany suddenly popped-up, which led to ONE single killer. This worried the police.
In one case, a break-in of a cottage had occurred, and a swab was done....showing DNA and a witness had said a person appearing to being 14 to 16 years old (a female) was there and had left. The swab test? Matched the murder count.
Suddenly, the police got all hyped-up. Teenage serial killer?
A female policeman was murdered. Swab test? Led to the same DNA.
So a task force was organized. Various murders were laid out. Timelines, locations, accomplishment, etc.
One cop looked at everything, and just said 'no'....it can't be the same person.
So he takes a couple of DNA test kits....bust them open, and swabs thin air (nothing). He sends them off. A week later, results come back....it's the phantom-killer.
He lays out the evidence. The police authorities are questioning this whole mess.
So they ask the DNA test kit company....who makes your swabs?
Well....it's a company down in Austria.
So they go drive down. Here is a rather small operation...maybe a dozen folks who prepare and make swabs in general. Here are big bulky Austrian women who are in the manufacturing process, sweaty from the summer heat and perspiration dripping a bit, and grabbing up a thousand of these swabs in their arms to throw into a bag....which goes to some company which has a secondary use for them. A swab is a swab in their mind.
The cops stand there....shaking their head. All this effort over three or four years....all leading to a phantom-killer who was branded as a 14 to 16 year old girl. All faked-up.
The DNA test kit company? No one says what happened to them, but I would guess that they folded up and went out of business.
I look at the Covid-19 testing business, and kinda wonder what kind of people run it, and their trusting nature.

Times Story
The only newspaper out of the top forty in the US that I consider to be 'even-handed' is Wall Street Journal. To be honest, their focus is business, and rarely will they tangle up with a pure political story.
So it was a shock in 2017 when the New York Times came to lure Bari Weiss from the WSJ to the New Times. She was supposed to bring a even-handed approach.
Today, she resigned.
What she said in her resignation....the general attitude around the paper was that her opinion and guidance was worthless.
What happens now? Well...they have to go and hire someone to fill her shoes. I'm guessing that they will just skip the neutral 'chatter' and hire a Twitter or blogger individual, and just skip the pretend business.
What's all this say about the Times? If you want the far left 'slant'....the Times will provide it. Don't worry, they won't lose any additional subscriptions....they've already lost those over the past twenty years.

If NBA and NFL Players Realized the True BLM?
BLM is mostly 99-percent tied to Marxism....which means that everyone needs to be treated at the same level of economic prosperity.
Using that system, no player from the Detroit Lions should make more than probably $60k a year. The same for the Boston Celtics....big-money players should not exist.
The fact that these players have not asked questions or grasped this part of the BLM discussion? It kinda leans toward the idea that they don't know much or just accept things without much talking.
Big sports disappearing within this Marxism period? Well, this would be the obvious end of all sports in America.
