I have heard that Trump only sleeps 3-4 hours a day and has been that way for many years. There’s just too much he wants get done everyday to waste any more time than necessary on sleep..

I do not want the federal government getting involved in local law enforcement this is something the police department and whoever runs that town should take care of.

Problem is, the cops in Berkeley are as liberal as the rest of them. They are probably cheering it on.

Understandable reaction to Milo. His audience is really college kids, specifically young men who somehow didn’t become left leaning, nor gay, in spite of the public school system.

We haven’t watched local tv news since Trump won the election, the first time, due to their fake news about Trump and his evil white voters, us.

Last night, we got a phone call from a local Trump friend, She told us that $oreA$$’s hired thugs were raising hell In Bezerkley about Milo speaking. So we turned on the local Faux channel to watch the predictable street show/act between $oreA$$’s paid rioters and the worthless Bezerkley police.

$oreA$$’s hoods were dressed in the same black hoody jackets with black face masks on some of them. They had control of the streets while the Bezerkley cops watched. My wife asked why the cops were just watching. I told her, it was their job to allow $oreA$$’s paid thugs to do their thing, to riot and stop free speecj

In a few minute $oreA$$’s paid thugs had started a big fire and then we heard what sounded like big firecrackers. $oreA$$’s hired thugs now controlled the streets and were out of control.

In a few minutes the Trump Haters in Charge of UC Bezerkley cancelled Milo’s speech right on their pre arranged schedule with $oreA$$. The same thing had happened at UC Davis when Milo was scheduled to talk. So much for UC Bezerkley’s/Davis famed free speech.

The paid $oreA$$ rioters then attacked business windows and doors in the peaceful college area.

That is SOP with the $oreA$$ thugs and the worthless Bezerkley cops.

There is a petition at White House.com to declare George $orleA$$ a criminal and arrest him, iif anyone is interested. Apparently, we like to bitch about $oreA$$ but don’t bother to sign a petition declaring that he is a criminal, Less than a 1,000 signatures at the site since it went up about a week ago.

Below is the info re this petition if anyone is interested:

WE THE PEOPLE ASK THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO PROPOSE A NEW ADMINISTRATION POLICY:

Issue an International Arrest Warrant for George Soros
Created by A.B. on January 21, 2017

Sign This Petition:
Needs 99,355 signatures by February 20, 2017 to get a response from the White House.

645 SIGNED
100,000 GOAL

George Soros is a menace to the free world and stands in the way of making America great again. He is guilty of the following crimes:

1) Financially supports open sedition in major American cities resulting in millions of dollars of property damage as well as loss of life.

2) Attempts to manipulate democratic elections by donating millions of dollars to his preferred candidates.

3) Seeks to curtail American sovereignty. In his own words: “The main obstacle to a stable and just world order is the United States ... Changing [the] attitude and policies of the United States remains my top priority.”

4) Is a currency manipulator. Soros initiated a British financial crisis by dumping 10 billion sterling, forcing the devaluation of the currency and gaining a billion-dollar profit.

When innocents are hurt and the locals don’t deal with it, the Feds can and should intervene. Federal charges should also be levied, the RICO act invoked for civil suits, and all college loans to rioting individuals should be perpetually terminated.

Foreign citizens engaged in violent protests should be charged with every possible federal crime, and after serving the requisite prison time be deported permanently with no chance of reentry, regardless of family ties.

There needs to be greater consequences than withdrawal of Federal funds.

They are not even doing that. they are just threatening to do so in the future. Funds should be withdrawn now.

“Calm down, has his AG been confirmed yet?”

Exactly!
So far President Trump has been fighting with BOTH hands tied behind his back and has STILL managed to give the Looney Left a thorough butt whipping with only his pen and Twitter account.

Some things need to go through the DOJ or other cabinet depts, few of which have confirmed leaders.

Once his administration is in full swing with his hand picked leaders the TRUMPKRIEG will go balls to the wall and the WINNING will reach epic proportions.

Me: “Yes Sensei.”

I think there will be a time in the near future, when Trump supporters can no longer tolerate their fellow Trump supporters being beaten in the streets as the police (following local politician’s orders) are ordered to stand down.

The black masked anarchists can cover everything but their eyes. Trump supporters, at the very least, must carry some kind of pepper spray or mace to protect themselves until reinforcements arrive.

Trump's doing alright for the time being with what he has to work with - he's pushing the right buttons to get their attention, put them on notice. Besides the supreme court, to me the AG spot is the big nomination that needs to go through ASAP so work can begin in earnest on the pacification of domestic enemies that are literally running riot.

So what's the solution? Let anarchy reign?

How many times have we seen police forces stand down while normal Americans are being beaten half to death in these left wing enclaves? At what point do we have to bypass the liberal mayors and governors to put an end to this mayhem?

Positioned my butt, the cops were hiding in the building for their own GD safety. UC Berkeley will need to hire more University police just to protect the existing ones.

What a farce that University is.

Why can’t some of these masked rioters be prosecuted on Federal rioting charges?

They must be stopped before they get an actual rebellion going.


It might be too late. Never seen the American people so violently apart as now,

IMO they could be, but the police deliberately were not stopping or identifying them so no prosecution is possible until the police and the University get their attitude adjusted. They are effectively encouraging the riots and beginning the steps toward an actual insurrection.

What’s Berkeley’s current position with respect to the Solomon Amendment?

“Berkeley, for example, received $292.5 million in federal research funding in fiscal 2005 (60 percent of all sponsored funding for the year) - grant monies that would be terminated if the campus refused to provide access to military recruiters. That is a very persuasive penalty.”
