From a Manhattan Bodega to Protecting SCOTUS Justices, Dems Side With Criminals Over Victims


   One of the most outrageous stories in the news this week is that Manhattan's "soft on crime" DA Alvin Bragg charged Latino bodega worker Jose Alba with second degree murder for defending himself against Austin Simon, 34, a parolee who went behind the counter and assaulted him. Mr. Simon has a criminal record that includes robbery, assault, and violence during a domestic dispute, as well as having served a sentence for killing a police officer, according to this website. Mr. Alba has never been arrested or charged with any crime in his 61 years.

   The outrage over this case isn't occurring in a vacuum. Manhattan's District Attorney is a Democrat, and one of many that are now being exposed as being more sympathetic to criminals than victims of crime. San Fransisco Democrat DA Chesa Boudin was recently recalled over similar concerns, by the voters of that liberal city. In Los Angeles, Democrat DA George Gascon is facing a similar recall action. Apparently, the progressive wing of the Democrat party is not in tune with the concerns of their constituent members. 

   The obvious question is "what did these progressives think would happen" when they sided with criminals over victims? The answer is that in progressive circles, criminals are the victims of "systemic racism" that is perpetuated by "white supremacism," and that law-abiding minorities would join them in supporting minority criminals. They were wrong, because the victims of most crimes committed by minorities are also minorities. Systemic racism and white supremacy are not the reason that these crimes are happening.

   While Democrats rail for stronger gun control laws, Democrat prosecutors refuse to prosecute cases involving illegal guns. They prefer to limit legal gun ownership, when that has little bearing on gun crimes. In fact, John Lott reports that higher legal gun ownership rates reduce gun crimes, and crime overall. Any criminal will tell you: "I'm more afraid of a victim with a gun than a policeman." Perhaps this is why more women and minorities are buying legal guns.

   This is not the only area that Democrats are siding with criminals over victims. Apparently, neither the federal or local Democratic governments have acted in defense of Supreme Court justices that were appointed by Republican, even after a person was caught trying to assassinate Justice Kavanaugh. Yet every day, before and after that attempt, mobs form outside of these justices' homes, in violation of both federal and local laws. AG Garland makes mealy-mouthed justifications about the "First Amendment," which fall flat in the face of the current circumstance. Free speech is a right, but the place you can do it is not. More recently, a mob formed outside of a Morton's Steakhouse where Justice Kavanagh was having dinner. No words of condemnation from any Democrat for that, either.

   In summation, Democrats seem to believe that actual victims of crime don't rate protection, or even recognition, but actual criminals are the real "victims of society," and are justified in doing any criminal act. I'm sorry, but that dog won't hunt anymore. Minorities are done buying it, and people that never paid attention to politics, and agreed with what the major media said are seeing through the BS. Soaring crime rates are affecting people in areas that have not experienced that in decades. I'm reminded of an old saying: "A conservative is a liberal who has been mugged." We'll see if that still holds true, in the midterm elections.

The Biden Record, and the Democrats Who Supported It, Pt. 4: How Biden Blew Up the Economy With Inflation

   The US economy is in chaos. This is not "spin," or "opinion," but a fact. Some people aren't feeling it as hard as others, because they were well-off before the inflation started. Unfortunately, the worst is yet to come, and it will affect those "well-off" people, to a greater degree than it does currently, as the recession sets in. It also will present a crisis for government, as the interest rates for the chronic borrowing that sustains all of their largesse double, triple, or even quadruple. How did we get here, after what was shaping up as a robust recovery from the pandemic response inspired recession?    When Pres. Biden was elected, almost every policy that had been in place was reversed. We've looked at the disatrous results of this on the southern border , but what's happened to our economy has impacted many more Americans. It started out on day one, when Biden killed the KeystoneXL pipeline, followed by freezing new federal leases ...

HATE FROM THE MOUTHS OF CHILDREN: AUTUM (AUTUMN?) ASHANTE AND THE GAEDE TWINS

Image
AUTUM ASHANTE LAMB AND LYNX GAEDE I hate to have to write this, but it has to be written. Beautiful children's minds are being corrupted with racial hatred, and their parents are profiting from it. The Gaede twins have a pop band, and Miss Ashante is a poetic prodigy. The parents promote their children's careers. These young girls are the true victims of racism, because they are predestined to continue this cycle of hate. Autum Ashante (-or is it spelled Autumn Ashante ?) is a 7-year old child, home-schooled by her parents (according to the NY POST -free registration required- see below for more on this). I heard it reported on MSNBC that they are members of the Nation of Islam, but I can't confirm that elsewhere. This young lady gave a recital of her poem, "White Nationalism Put U in Bondage." Some excerpts: "Black lands taken from your hands, by vampires with no remorse."..."They took the gold, the wisdom and all the storytellers. They took th...

The Biden Debacle Part II

  In my previous post, I wrote about Pres. Biden's disastrous policy at the border, as well as it's impact on the spread of COVID. I also noted his false promise of bipartisanship, and embrace of the far left agenda. This post will deal with some of that agenda, including it's impact on the economy, law enforcement, race relations, education and the military. They're all interconnected in no small way, and Pres. Biden is making a mess of them all. With the left wing ascendant in his own party, he has found it easier to go along with them, rather than work with Republicans, even when they propose policies that a majority of Democrats support. The economy was recovering before Biden assumed office, and yet he continues to push a long wish list of leftist policies in the name of "recovery." The extension of unemployment benefits is a good example of how they can backfire. While he denies that the extra payments were keeping people from returning to work, the sta...
