The Democrat Part teemed up with its anarchist allies to rain chaos on America in 2020.

It suceeded.

Just a thought.... The far left, BLM, Antifa, Soros, organized street gangs and thugs in general helped elect those far left mayors and city councils. And now these "defund the police and protect the criminal" politicians are doing exactly what the criminal element want them to do out of political, financial and personal preservation.

Do the politicians need extra police protection while advocating for defunding the police and protecting the criminals? I don't think so.

The elected politicians are protected by the thugs they protect from the rule of law. They and their families are off limits for crimes against their persons or property as long as they keep the thugs happy. Any crimes perpetrated against the protected political class that protects the criminal class will be swiftly dealt with using street justice by the thug class.

Once the political class has bowed to the dictates of criminals, how can they reverse course when they and their families are potentially exposed to the threat of retribution from Antifa, BLM, and other street thugs? The streets aren't safe for them and their families if they are not appeasing their criminal base? How do they reverse course and ask the boys in blue that they have betrayed for so long to protect them and their families from their political base?

I guess this is like being protected by a gang in prison, or by being protected by organized crime. It works as long as the protected can afford to pay what the criminal demands for payment.

Victor Davis Hanson: Third-Worldizing America
Authored by Victor Davis Hanson, op-ed via Townhall.com,

It’s called Third Worldization! It’s the utter breakdown of the law, and the ability of the rich within such a feudal society to find ways to avoid the violent chaos.

Neistat was right in identifying a pandemic of crime in Los Angeles as Third Worldization. In a recent online exchange, YouTuber, Casey Neistat vented his anger after his car was broken into and the contents stolen. Los Angeles, he railed, was turning into a “3rd world s***hole of a city.”

The predictable role of the smug, indifferent Third World rich, who master ignoring – and navigating around – the misery of others in their midst. In a medieval-type society of two rather than three classes, the rich in walled estates rarely worry that much about thievery. Crime is written off as an intramural problem of the poor, especially when the middle class is in decline or nonexistent.

Such impoverishment pales in comparison to the encampments of present-day Fresno, Los Angeles, Sacramento, or San Francisco. Tens of thousands live on sidewalks and in open view use them to defecate, urinate, inject drugs, and dispose of refuse.

Violent crime is soaring in America. Two things are different about America’s new criminality.

• One is the virtual impunity of it. Thieves now brazenly swarm a store, ransack, steal, and flee with the merchandise without worry of arrest.

• • Second, the Left often justifies crime as a sort of righteous payback against a supposedly exploitative system.

So, the architect of the so-called 1619 Project, Nikole Hannah-Jones, preened of the riotous destruction of property during the summer of 2020: “Destroying property, which can be replaced, is not violence.”

Third Worldization reflects the asymmetry of law enforcement. Ideology and money, not the law, adjudicate who gets arrested and tried, and who does not.

The above statements excerpted from: Victor Davis Hanson’s: “Third-Worldizing America
Nation & State” ^ | 12-4-2021 | Victor Davis Hanson

Fox News: California city/Walnut Creek boosts security budget by $2 million after ‘criminal mob’ ransacks after Nordstrom’s @ Walnut Creek was rocked by a smash-and-grab mob last month!

https://www.foxnews.com/us/california-walnut-creek-security-police-2-million


It’s the leniency of politicians like California Governor Gavin Newsom/Gruesome which is ultimately responsible for the descent into barbarism and this organized looting/piracy with masses of looters.

This organized massed looting is similar to a problem our forefathers had at one time. It was called piracy. They shot or hung pirates and then sank their ships with the pirates on board.

That worked for about 3+ centuries until George SoreA$$’s Elites’ took over our blue states, cities, mayors, local and state attorney generals, governors and often, the local police chiefs.

This has allowed George SoreA$$’s elites and his well funded BLMers to have free reign over many blue cities and states and now, the plundering of the Nordstrom’s in Walnut Creek.

Forget It, Jakes/Janes! Relax! It’s Now, Not Even Your City/Town/County nor State, any more!

George SoreA$$’s elites control everything now from your schools to the stores where you send your kids and try to buy things.

Even, If you didn’t vote for this, it doesn’t matter!

Your votes were probably not counted nor have been counted for decades, if ever!

Crime rates are MUCH worse in blue cities in blue states... Corrupt democrat mayors can't fudge statistics on murder because there's a 'dead body' to deal with... but they DO fudge the number ON ALL OTHER CRIMES to the corrupt FBI.

And the FBI?

They know democrat mayors are lying about crime statistics but 'hey, the FBI and corrupt democrats are on the same team'... Gotta remember that...

And the butt boys in the press sure aren't going to take a close look at fake crime statistics...either...) Well, unless they can catch a red state, red city mayor making a mistake... they they'll all do the hysterical fainting couch bit...

Austin blew up.

Hey, bitt, care to see who has been moving to Austin? Blue lines are inbound.


U.S. Migrants Favor Austin, Texas November 15, 2016

The Census found that roughly 171,465 people have
been added to the Austin community since 2010.

Do the homeless partake in the census?
