Rock, Meet Hard Place Ep. 34

Crime, Morons & Idiots

Great Caesar’s bleeding eyeballs, how stupid can you get?

Most Democrats think that crime is a “major problem” in large cities, but they oppose sending National Guard troops to respond to the problem, according to a new AP-NORC poll.

Let me try to understand this.

Let’s leave aside the (quite-logical) assumption that Democrat government in our cities don’t really give a rat’s ass about the crime problem in their respective jurisdictions, and grant the point that they are trying to do something about the problem.

And failing.

I probably shouldn’t do this, but I’m also going to ignore the fact that the 2020 mostly-peaceful BLM demonstrations/riots led to appalling destruction of said cities, and Democrat city governments didn’t only try to quell the unrest, but basically encouraged it either by actual statements, or by inaction.

While that kind of lawlessness seems to have abated, what’s happened since is an appalling rise in violent crime:  muggings, murders, burglaries and so on have all rocketed skywards, and continue to do so.

However you frame the issue, one thing is crystal clear:  Democrat politicians can’t address the crime problem in the large cities.

What options, then, remain to anyone who actually does want to find a solution?

Well, during the aforesaid BLM riots, Trump 45 didn’t send in the National Guard, leaving it up to the local governments to deal with it.  And they didn’t.

Trump 47 recently sent in the Guard to clear up the crime problem in Washington D.C., and the city has, in the space of a couple weeks or so, become a safe place to live.  (Note that the only “opposition” to Trump’s intervention in D.C. has come from people — White Old Farts — who either don’t live there or else aren’t affected by the crime personally.  The actual — mostly Black — residents of D.C. are overjoyed that their city has become a safer place to live, and are not part of the demonstrations.)

So why, I ask, would Democrats oppose the same treatment for the rest of the crime-ridden cities?

Because it’s Trump doing the sending.  And Orange Man Bad.

Feckless fools, they are — both the Democrat politicians and their supporters.

Stable Door

Law and Order

Following on from the Minnesota Catholic school shooting we have this bullshit:

FBI director Kash Patel used a post on X to make clear the Minneapolis Catholic school shooting will be investigated as a “hate crime targeting Catholics.”

FFS.  Talk about a waste of time.

In the first place, the thing is over.  The sicko trannie shot up a church, killed and wounded a bunch of people and then offed himself/herself/whatever.  I hate to sound cold about it, but what’s to “investigate”?

Of course it was a “hate crime targeting Catholics”, numbskull.  The fucking loony talked all about it a hundred times on social media beforehand.  But even if it was a “hate crime”:  so what?  Does it add to the posthumous legal punishment?

Kash, ol’ buddy:  quit wasting your organization’s time on this idiocy.  Use your agents to go after the Clintons, Soros, the H-1B fraudsters, the real estate fraudsters — you know, the people who committed crimes and are still alive to prosecute.

And by the way, if all this leaves you short of agents, then I have another word of advice:  close down the ATF and reassign those agents into something that doesn’t involve harassing FFLs and other law-abiding gun owners.

Yer welcome.

Alternative

Foreign Affairs, Immigration, Trumpism

There’s a good reason why this is happening:

Mass protests have exploded outside migrant hotels across the country this weekend as furious families gathered in major cities including Birmingham and London.

Hotels across Dudley, Epping, London, Manchester and Norwich have also braced for protests as communities seek to replicate the ruling for The Bell Hotel which, pending an appeal, must be closed within weeks. 

It comes after more than 30 protests under the Abolish Asylum system were held in towns and cities across the UK on Saturday. 

These included Bristol, Exeter, Tamworth, Cannock, Nuneaton, Liverpool, Wakefield, Newcastle, Horley, Canary Wharf, Aberdeen and Perth in Scotland, and Mold in Wales.

A separate batch of protests were also organised by Stand Up to Racism in Bristol, Cannock, Leicester, Liverpool, Newcastle, Wakefield, Horley and Long Eaton in Derbyshire.

Quite frankly, the Brits are rebelling against their government’s accommodationist [sic]  policy towards illegal immigrants — I’m sorry, I meant “asylum seekers” — because Britain doesn’t have anything like this*:

And here’s the big difference.  We have facilities like the above because:

The Brits, on the other hand, never voted for “asylum hotels”, but had them thrust upon them by their (elected) government.  So it’s all very well blaming the Britgov for doing this, but let’s be honest about the whole thing:  it’s not like the awful Labour Party ever disguised their intentions — and the Brits voted them into power anyway because the “Conservative” Party had cocked up the whole migrant issue themselves, and I suppose the Brit voters wanted to “teach them a lesson”.

Well, that worked well for them, didn’t it?

Now, the Tories are but a shadow of their former [ahem Thatcherite]  glory, and the party most likely to replace them as the proper Opposition is…

That’s assuming, of course, that Farage can survive the typical (and tiresome) British tradition of political treachery and backstabbing.

But if all the above popular demonstrations are anything to be believed, it means that native Brits have finally fond their voice, and a principle to rally around.

And it’s about damn time.  Let’s just hope that it’s not too late.

*I know, I know:  some idiot judge has rued that AlliAlc must be closed or something, so we’ll just have to find another place that doesn’t upset the local Democrats Indian tribe.  (Maybe we should just offer to convert AlliAlc into a fucking casino in ten years’ time, just to shut them up.)

Africa Wins Again, Chapter 27

Africa

I remember discussing on these pages the Chinese infiltration of Africa under their Belt & Road program — whereby the CCP could drain minerals and resources while using cheap labor from a country in return for investment in local infrastructure — and how it was never going to work because Africa.  Thanks to Longtime Reader Mike S., I see just one recent example of how this whole enterprise is, and always was, doomed to fail.

This is no small thing, because there are apparently 300,000 Chinese nationals currently colonizing  living in Angola (see map below for location).

Angola is 1.3x the size of Texas, with about the same oil reserves, and a huge depository of strategic minerals.  Hence the CCP’s interest in the place.

It’s also a Communist-run country, so one would think that this soul-brother nation would be quite friendly towards their political cousins.  Ahem:

Angola’s government may look favorably on the Belt & Road colonization initiative;  the people, not so much.

Because Africa.

I hate to say “I told you so”, but…

Quote Of The Day

Patriotism, Resistance

Talking about the current brouhaha in Britishland over local town councils taking down British or England flags while leaving Palestinian flags flying:

“If raising your own country’s flag is seen as an act of rebellion, then maybe your country is under foreign occupation.” — Alex James

Thank goodness we have laws about this kind of thing Over Here, because let me tell you that any similar reindeer games by local municipalities would result in both lawsuits (if they were lucky) and possibly gunfire.

If I (or any other proud Americans) want to fly our national flag, it will be flown regardless of whom it might “offend” or “trigger”.

Illiteracy’s Helping Hand

Grammar Nazism

This is enough to make me groan and reach for another:

The Cambridge Dictionary has accepted 6,000 new words into its English language canon this year – including slang inspired by social media discourse.

Oh, that’s just wonderful.  Now instead of looking ignorant, I can just go there to learn all about skibidi.

Stop the world, I want no more part of it.
