A phenomenon known as Black Fatigue is growing among many Americans who are tired of the rude and anti-social behavior in parts of black culture, and the unspoken privilege it creates. Among all the viral memes and online trends one sees while scrolling through social media, one term has been coming up more regularly: “black fatigue.” The term has been around since 2015, and appears to have originated from a board on a site that has become the Twilight Zone of the internet (a site that is “both shadow and substance, of things and ideas”), 4Chan.

There’s a reason Democrats are losing control of cities like Cincinnati, and it’s not just about crime. It’s about who the crime is against, who’s getting a pass, and who isn’t. It’s all very calculated. Over the weekend, a brutal assault in downtown Cincinnati shocked the nation. A white man was thrown to the ground and savagely beaten by a large mob of black men. When a woman rushed in to help, she was knocked out cold and slammed to the pavement. It’s the kind of racially motivated attack that would spark wall-to-wall outrage if the roles were reversed, right?...

By now, Americans have grown painfully familiar with the new breed of soft-on-crime, far-left attorneys general. They’re everywhere—installed in one liberal hellhole after another like little ticking time bombs, handpicked to do one thing: dismantle law and order from the inside. They let violent criminals walk free, ignore looters, and go after political opponents instead of real threats—because that’s the whole point. These AGs aren’t just soft on crime; they’re part of the plan to destroy US cities. ... But the AG in Massachusetts? Well, she takes the cake. This isn’t just your run-of-the-mill Soros-style puppet. We’re talking about a...
