Portland descends into fiery overnight showdown after Dems side with rioters (/Biden rally)

Anarchists and radical left revolutionaries have long been entrenched in Portland, Oregon, but they have become especially emboldened in recent days as Democratic officials in the city all but align with them to push out federal agents in the city.

Violent protesters continue to lay siege on the city some eight weeks after the death of George Floyd, and while some in the media still call it a Black Lives Matter protest, the chaos in the streets has little to do with racial justice.

On what marked the 52nd straight night of protests, police declared a riot as radicals set the Portland Police Association building on fire.

**SNIP**

The scene over the weekend was predictable when Democratic leadership like House Speaker Nancy Pelosi weighed in late Friday calling federal police President Trump’s “secret army,” and “unidentified stormtroopers” in what is surely the most fantastical tweet ever by a speaker of the House.

First Amendment speech should never be met with one-sided violence from federal agents acting as Trump’s secret police, especially when unidentified. This is disgraceful behavior we would expect from a banana republic - not the government of the United States.

Good point ... just like saying this is a “slippery slope” as if we should wait around until we hit “bottom.” There may not be a bottom. Move immediately to the most solid ground you can find!

College Class

An economics professor at Texas Tech said he had never failed a single student before but had, once, failed an entire class.

The class had insisted that socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer.

The professor then said, “OK, we will have an experiment in this class on socialism.”

All grades would be averaged and everyone would receive the same grade so no one would fail and no one would receive an A.

After the first test the grades were averaged and everyone got a B.

The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy.

But, as the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less and the ones who studied hard decided that since they could not make an A, they studied less.

The second Test average was a D! No one was happy.

When the 3rd test rolled around the average was an F. The scores never increased as bickering, blame, name calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for anyone else.

All failed to their great surprise and the professor told them that socialism would ultimately fail because the harder people try to succeed the greater their reward but when a government takes all the reward away; no one will try or succeed.

There are videos of the BLM thugs using chain link fencing to block the exit doors of the Justice building with people inside. The next step would be to set it on fire and howl like demons as everyone inside burns alive. These people are possessed, there can be no doubt.
