Be Prepared for Chaos

I suggest you start preparing for a great deal of left-wing civic violence, supply disruptions (including food shortages) and widespread urban chaos. I say this because it is my sense that the Democrats, deep state, and their media enablers are all in rough shape and have no other way out but to fall back on their usual criminal methods of retaining power.

I find it impossible to believe that President Biden will be the Democratic nominee, and if he is, that he can win. What do the Democrats do? They certainly can’t substitute Kamala Harris for Biden; she’s tanked in opinion polls even lower and faster than has Biden. There are no nationally known non-geriatric substitutes in the wings, save for California governor Gavin Newsom, whose record for screwing up is at least as bad as Biden’s. Youth and a good haircut can only go so far outside Newsom’s home state. Even liberals are now conceding the West Coast has lost its way and become dysfunctional, and who is a better avatar of West Coast progressives than Newsom?

In an opinion piece in the New York Times, Nicholas Kristof asks if they have lost their way. He decries the lack of sensible governance, arguing that good intentions aren’t enough and good governance has demonstrably been lacking:

[M]y take is that the West Coast’s central problem is not so much that it’s unserious as that it’s infected with an ideological purity that is focused more on intentions than on oversight and outcomes. [snip]

Politics always is part theater, but out West too often we settle for being performative rather than substantive.

For example, as a gesture to support trans kids, Oregon took money from the tight education budget to put tampons in boys’ restrooms in elementary schools --

Did you create that? If so, very good. It’s succinctly said.

We live in Gwinnett County and the crime is horrible. We go nowhere without a gun. My best friend’s son almost got attacked at the door of his apt in broad daylight the other day.

One night a week or so ago I took the dog out the front door at about midnight to go to the bathroom and there was a truck coming down the street. I immediately turned to hurry back inside dragging g the dog with me and locked the door. The truck stopped right in front of our house in the street and just sat there. It was very scary. I’m sure they were debating whether to try to kick the door in. I was just getting ready to wake Mr.GG2 and grab my gun when they finally pulled away and drove on. Its insane around here.

TAXES & A CIVILIZED SOCIETY (4 ½ MINUTES)
Taxes are the price we pay for a civilized society. If true, why have higher taxes produced an uncivil society?

That’s horrible! How scary. I’m glad you get to have friends in your state, can you imagine being in New York etc?

Are your police trying to keep up with the crime or have they been defunded?

The last time I heard Gwinnett County had 100 openings for police officers. I guess they can’t get people. They don’t come out unless someone is bleeding. Its not just Gwinnett its the whole metro Atlanta area. At night you hear gunfire all the time.

We are about 45 days from finishing the remodel on our house which we have done by ourselves and then it goes up for sale and we move to our compound.

They are all like that.

Well said.
Who the sane are is America.
Freedom is fleeting.
I for one, will chase it.
