Trump: Democrat Thugs In Pittsburgh

Biden Staffer: Cops "Worse Than Pigs"

It appears the Biden campaign stepped into it.

Unless "Slow Joe" denounces it and fires the staffer, his campaign will be in deeper doo-doo than it is already. It'll show that he is not pro-law & order and is on the side of ANTIFA and BLM.

Trump's Dilemma

Rush Limbaugh had an interesting monologue today on the dilemma that President Trump is in.

One of them involves possible insubordinate generals who "may" refuse orders to go into the cities to restore order.

Another one is that in past years, 1965 and 1968 are two examples, governors and mayors welcomed the National Guard when they were requested by them to restore order. Such is not the case today. Many of these Democrat mayors and governors want the riots to continue and they aren't supporting their own police. Some of them are moving to defund the police. 

Here's a snippet:

But I tell you, Trump has really been hemmed in here by something that I don’t think a lot of people are giving enough consideration to, and that is the already expressed insubordination of the American military. 

These generals, Mattis to Milley to all these guys that have come out and basically disavowed anything to do with Trump to, say, the trip over to the church in Lafayette Park. They’ve made it clear, if Trump calls out the U.S. military to restore law and order, that they may not do it, that they may tell Trump to go take a flying leap somewhere. And he’s aware of this. 

So the worst thing he could do is, as commander-in-chief, is order these guys to deploy the military and have them say, “Screw you, Mr. Pres.” He’s gotta be really, really careful about this. He knows everything that’s stacked against him. And he knows the narrow path that he has to win reelection. 

BREAK TRANSCRIPT 

RUSH: I’m hearing people say, “Rush, Trump’s gotta do more to stop the rioting. He’s gotta do more to step in there and stop this.” Yeah, I know. But, folks, in the past whenever this has been necessary, it was done by helping overwhelmed local and state authorities who wanted order restored in their states and in their cities. We don’t have that part of the equation right now. 

So it’s one thing to say, “Trump’s gotta stop the violence. He’s got to show leadership. He’s gotta move!” Well, if these lunatic governors do not want this stuff stopped, if the governor of Washington and the mayor of Seattle don’t want it stopped — and if Gavin Newsom doesn’t want it stopped in California and if that mayor in Detroit doesn’t want it stopped — and then Trump moves in there anyway? 

You know, that’s the big difference.  

In the past, when there was this kind of rioting and disorder and property destruction, even Democrat governors and mayors — Mayor Daley Chicago ’68 — wanted it stopped. They welcomed the arrival of the National Guard or federal troops. But that… What’s Trump gonna do?

Today's Democrats don't want it stopped.

Man Shot Over Statue Vandalism In Albuquerque

The following story from Fox News was inevitable. 

A man was shot Monday after gunfire erupted at a demonstration in New Mexico, where protesters attempted to topple a bronze conquistador's statue outside an Albuquerque museum, authorities said.

The man was taken to a local hospital where he was listed in critical but stable condition, police said. 

“The shooting tonight was a tragic, outrageous and unacceptable act of violence and it has no place in our city,” Albuquerque Mayor Tim Keller said in a statement. 

The shooting occurred during a clash between protesters and the New Mexico Civil Guard, a heavily armed civilian group that attempted to protect the controversial sculpture — a monument that features Spanish conquistador Juan de Oñate, according to the Albuquerque Journal. 

Protesters reportedly wrapped a chain around the statue and started tugging on it amid chants of “Tear it down.” At least one person swung a pickaxe at the statue of New Mexico’s 16th-century colonial governor. 

Gunshots could be heard down the street just moments later, with several people yelling, "Somebody got shot," according to the Journal. About five shots were fired by a single gunman after protesters started advancing on him, the paper reported. 

Police used chemical irritants and flashbangs to protect officers and detain those involved in the shooting, Albuquerque police spokesman Gilbert Gallegos said. Officers were seen taking five or six men dressed in military fatigues into custody.

What the hell did Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham and Albuquerque Mayor Tim Keller expect when they (and others around the country) allow "protesters" run wild vandalizing public and private property for weeks? People are getting fed up over the anarchy that has been going on in the streets of major cities.

These leftist mobs have been using tactics of ISIS and communists in vandalizing and tearing down statues and monuments to destroy this country's history. Many people have had enough. So it comes at no surprise that somebody got shot. I am not condoning it, but I saw this coming.

The only way to stop violent acts is for government officials, at all levels, to impose law & order. Liberals who control these cities have been sitting on their hands, some even encouraging these acts by "protesters".

One other thing. Mike Harris posted the following at the New Mexico Civil Guard's Facebook page about the shooting:

I have posted the following on 36 different pages in NM, and across the nation, In attempt to turn the bad intel into an Public publicity Stunt from our Governor. Sorry I can't do more at this point but try and curb public opinion. PLEASE SHARE... 

Don't let Governor Grisham lie to you about the shooting in Albuquerque tonight.. The NMCG were not even near the shooting when it started, but it appears the man in blue was attacked multiple times, By "Peaceful Protesters," starting at 4 seconds in the video and then pulled a pistol to defend himself at 42 seconds..

It looks like a strong case of self-defense to me.
