The recent incidents in Seattle explodes the vile and indecent actions by mayors and governors of Democrat persuasion and brings the focus on those cities run by Democrats…. for years, and years, and years.
Chicago, Baltimore, San Francisco, Detroit, Seattle, Los Angeles, to name a few, have made it their dogma not to invoke police into demonstrations turned into riots, looting and occupied zones such as seen in Seattle.
How would you like to own a business within the occupied zone in Seattle knowing your customers don’t want to be confronted and the possibility a riot could arise and your business looted and building burned. Don’t say it can’t happen. It did in other cities.
How will this end? Not well, I’m afraid. Not well at all.
About the new superintendent’s selection
I saw the announcement the selection of someone outside the system to be the new superintendent was made.
Patricia Velie, a person highly regarded by many in the system and someone with obvious display of financial talents, was not selected. I am dismayed she was not selected because she is a not only highly qualified and a person of known and obvious talent, I side with others asking if she will stay in the system. Many are hoping she will, but only if she is offered more compensation to help ease the pain of losing a position she obviously wanted and was qualified to fill.
She is a sweet person, highly intelligent, and a known quantity and quality we need in the district. Will she stay? If I were her, I would examine my options. If she leaves, I wish her well, as I do the person selected as superintendent.
I was hoping Ms. Velie would have been chosen, but I’ve been disappointed so many times by this school district and school board for years, I have come to expect to be disappointed. Their decision didn’t come as a surprise to me, but I think it did many others.
Velie was the obvious choice by many.
Gov. Whitmer: Will She or Won’t She
Our illustrious governor has shown common sense is not her strong suit. Shutting down the Michigan economy for three months was very damaging, as we are now finding out. Schools and projects depending on the non-existent tax base will be in dire straits. Many notches in the belt will need to be tightened.
The whole state was shut down instead of those exhibiting symptoms be quarantined. I know, I know, you would be infringing on civil liberties of those infected. So instead the entire state was shut down. How much sense does that make? We are now finding out how much damage and future damage will occur because of her orders. All because the Communist Chinese Coronavirus was thrust on us by world travelers.
Will she be selected by Biden as a running mate? How could he take someone so obtuse to the citizens of the state? Well, Joe ain’t Joe anymore, so who knows? With his doddering and episodes of hemming and hawing in interviews and speeches, he needs to be checked for Alzheimers. I’m afraid he might have it.
Or possibly the beginnings of dementia. Either way, he surely is not the man of four years ago when he had the chance to run against Hillary as the Democrat presidential nominee.
But I know the hate for Trump by the hard left Democrats is so fierce they would vote for anyone with a “D” by their name. Maybe “D” will be for dementia, for Mr. Biden’s sake, please get tested and listen to the doctors, he isn’t healthy.
The rotting of America from within continues…
Ranger Rick
In my opinion the “rotting from within” is done. There was a “bad seed” that has started to grow. The two-party political system is failing… there are people in leadership with strong socialist agendas. Our law enforcement agencies are slowly being depleted. The education system is one step away from failure. Citizens and businesses are going bankrupt, etc.
All because a virus came to our shores. Panic developed, many horrific decisions sadly took lives and provoked economic disasters.
It will be interesting what form of government will devolop when all is said and done.
As is commonly said today there will be ” a new normal.”
Mr. Smit,
Your conclusion of “there will be a new normal” may be correct, but with the flight of police officers deciding the job is no longer worth the risk of losing their lives over an attempted arrest or shot in the head in their cruiser, I dare say it won’t be one of law and order.
The forces of evil and lawlessness are expanding and the businesses and media are pandering to those contributing to the riots and looting with no consequences. How long can that be normal and not affect the the entire society?
I can tell you what I see; more anxiety, more hate, more protests and looting, and Americans arming themselves so they have a fighting chance to survive without law enforcement help. Go to any gun shop and watch the activity. People are scared and increased weapon and ammunition sales are a direct result.
If you want to see mass chaos, elect Democrats – they have exposed the most liberal agenda to destroy all that has existed. The eliminating of any statues of historical significance is wrong – to destroy history is to repeat it. They don’t have any constructive ideas, just more politics of racism and division and power grabbing for themselves to only enrich themselves.
To hell with the American people.
Want proof? The places where division and racism is the worst, public schools failing students of education, and where crime and drugs and gang violence are most prevalent are run by Democrats for generations and no progress. And they blame everyone but themselves.
Los Angeles, San Francisco, Baltimore, Washington D.C., Philadelphia, Chicago, Detroit – all have turned into shitholes because of liberals running government in those cities.
Don’t believe it, visit those places and walk the streets in the day and at night, if you dare. Tell me you feel safe!
Good luck with the future of these once beautiful cities where capitalism once built flourishing cities. They are all liberal, socialist experiments that never work.
Don’t Tread on Me
I do believe the ” new normal ” will be very unbelievable. There will be no law enforcement as we know it today. It likely will be corrupt military enforcement. This will happen after a war between the races. Whoever wins will be conquered by a than Socialist government. Only those faithful to the Party will own businesses, have their children get higher education, and advancement.
We will be slaves to the Party..there will be no class system and no minorities…you are either one of the leaders or a follower that does not complain otherwise you no longer exist.
Many today scoff at this ever happening….but has anyone ever remembered when a virus has caused businesses to fail, education to stop, you willingly let yourself lose everything?
I don’t remember anything thing this obscured.
How does a person get swept up into riots, looting, and destruction of property. Where is the logic in removing statues, changing brand logos, renaming school mascots, military bases.?
Why does all media fail to report the facts without establishment?
It is because we let this happen being afraid to question. To follow blindly is a safer stance.
Few today are not horribly offended by what is history. Few have courage to stand against a form of government that will be this Countries downfall. Most want something for nothing…but fail to realize there is no free lunch.
Many seem to think life has to be fair….but it doesn’t work that way.
Once the New Normal takes place they will beg to return to the old way….but alas it will be to late
Mr. Smit,
I believe you are more correct than even you realize. A great synopsis of the “future”. Makes you warm and fuzzy all over, knowing all you have to do is see no evil, hear no evil, and speak no evil and suck up to the government, the same government who will provide all your needs.
All you have to do is to give up all weapons , shut up, and be a good little citizen!
Speaking of “checking for Alzheimer’s”, have you been paying attention to Trump lately? The paucity of language, the slurring, the trouble negotiating a modest ramp? The two hands used to lift a glass of water? The poverty of thought? It seems to me that it would be a good idea to have a neuro-psych examination of our president, and for candidates for that high office. Might there be a ray of agreement here?
