Here’s the common reaction to the Waukesha, Wis., murders: It’s nuts that the suspect, with his long criminal history, was free on $1,000 bail posted days before the automotive rampage.
Here’s New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, in a tweet the day after the Waukesha murders: “Today, we sent a letter . . . to NYC’s 5 District Attorneys requesting information on excessive bail in the NYC court system.” The letter was also signed by fellow New York Democrat Carolyn Maloney and Maryland’s Jamie Raskin.
That disconnect will haunt Democrats. Waukesha is one of those rare moments when the consequences of an extreme ideology are brutally exposed to a nation. It’s a big new midterm problem for Democrats, one that could prove as difficult to overcome as rising inflation, Covid surges and parental backlash against educational fads like critical race theory.
Crime is soaring nationally, after progressives spent years pushing to water down bail rules, forgo prosecutions, release prisoners and even defund the police. The governors, mayors and prosecutors who indulged these demands uniformly have Ds behind their names.
The numbers had already been spiraling into a political problem. The violence that the left egged on in the wake of George Floyd’s murder has only grown. Nationally, homicides increased by 30% from 2019 to 2020. Chicago is likely to end 2021 with its highest murder rate in 25 years. Portland, Ore., home to routine violent riots, is on track to surpass 1,200 shootings this year, compared with 400 in 2019. Los Angeles recorded more homicides in July than in any month for more than a decade.
Citizens have already responded at the ballot box. On Nov. 2, Minneapolis voters rejected an initiative to abolish the police force. Pro-policing candidates won mayoral races in New York City ( Eric Adams )

They voted for it. Now them them get it.
Good and hard.

Naw, the American public is stupid and can’t put 2 and 2 together. The media will keep them stupid.
Soros fomented civil terror is not random, accidental, or something that an alert citizenry has any capacity to handle. The majority of the population are ripe for mental exploitation by MSNBC and CNN because the forces of control which ultimately serve the 2,100 billionaire oligarchs and BlackRock, Vanguard and State Street, have found the key to subverting and seducing the population — material comfort and entertainment. The people who did build this country were tough economic refugees who were able to stand the difficult course of building something unprecedented in human history. This generation have lost the essential core-germ of the pioneers. We are like bread & circus Roman proles.
“That disconnect will haunt Democrats.”
No, it won’t.
Massacre? And here we’ve been told it was a runaway SUV ‘crash’. Weird huh?
“Crime is soaring nationally, after progressives spent years pushing to water down bail rules, forgo prosecutions, release prisoners and even defund the police. The governors, mayors and prosecutors who indulged these demands uniformly have Ds behind their names.”
We are witnessing the collapse of western civilization before our eyes. The rule of law has been politicized so it is no longer fair, just or even handed. Barbarians are turned loose by the system to wreak havoc on average citizens with no consequences. The media, academia, religious leaders, judges and politicians cheer on and enable the madness. Now the military has gone full woke and perceives domestic white privilege to be a greater threat to security than rapidly arming Russia and China.
We are told, just wait until 2022 when the Republicans will recapture the House and Senate and they will end the madness. However, history shows the Republicans have never rolled back even the most outrageous legislation passed by Democrats nor do the have the appetite and backbone to take on the leftists directly and forcefully. McConnell and McCarthy are dealmakers, not warriors and Biden will gleefully wield his veto pin if Pelosi and Schumer fail to completely water down any conservative legislation in closed door meetings with McConnell and McCarthy. It is hard to envision any change even if the GOP takes control of the House and Senate.
In fact, Democrats may be looking forward to two years of the GOP leadership demonstrating they are powerless against a Democrat minority in Congress combined with a Democrat president prepared to rule by decree. When the Republicans demonstrate complete ineptness, the Dem presidential candidate in 2024 can blame the GOP Congress for the sad state of the nation.
Remember the last two Obama years when Ryan was Speaker and McConnell was Majority leader. What did the GOP accomplish?
No, We the People have a problem, because these crazy Dems are releasing dangerous criminals back into society!
“Waukesha....whats that?” ,Said the Commie BLM operative.
( Jedi mind gesture)
You need’nt worry on anything about any Waukesha.
Nothing ever happened there.
Move along now......

Just Keep donating to the Kyle Rittenhouse Go Fund Me...a deplorable war chest.
Absolutely nothing other than keeping Merrick Garland off the Supreme Court.
They stopped a lot of Leftist wish-list legislation.
They prevented Garland from becoming a Supreme Court justice.
Paul Ryan was revealed as an "Assistant Democrat", and left office.
About another 50 "Assistant Democrats" left office as well.
This is the Left, and we need to make them own it.
Kimberly is just now figuring this out?
Last I saw the media was calling this a traffic accident.
In the mean time the media is making the Arbery case to be a big deal, when it is a no brainer, no you can’t shoot someone in you neighborhood just because you don’t recognize him.
Racine County sheriff: Supervisor posted man's bail, should be removed
Americans for the most part won’t care or already don’t. Heck, no one talks about Afghanistan these days. Certainly not the MSM.
What did the GOP majority in the House and Senate do during the first two Trump years? Were they as effective at passing Trump’s agenda as Pelosi and Schumer have been passing the far left agenda of Biden’s handlers?
