I’ve been watching some German channels on YouTube lately in my attempt to learn a new language and one of the videos that came up was of shoplifting. The central incident mentioned was in Philedalphia where a mob ransacked numerous stores a few nights ago. I wonder how the rest of the world views America now? The graph at the end illustrating how much has been pillaged from stores by year is insightful and sad. Too bad the comments are disabled…

Here is the story from a network a bit closer to the story without the need for subtitles. Funny how the German story never felt the need to talk about peaceful protests. How many large cities are like this now?
Here’s a clip of a clerk getting set on fire by a criminal who had stolen property previously that day. Things are surely going well in our country, aren’t they?

What can’t a Democrat politician do with a Public Health Order? Nullify all rental contracts by issuing an Eviction Moratorium? Telling you that you can’t walk on the beach (“Newsom added that he hopes the order won’t last very long.”). In New Mexico Governor Grisham has decided that she can ignore the U.S. Constitution through a Public Health Order that violent criminals will totally not ignore like all of the other laws that they are already ignoring. Who knew that all you had to do to stop crime was sign a piece of paper? I suppose that the guns discharge themselves and no one is wielding them, right? Everything that leftist politicians do is for your own safety and not to be questioned. Don’t think, just comply.
Bernalillo County Sheriff John Allen held a press conference earlier today stating that he would not enforce the Governor’s gun ban for some fairly obvious reasons that the Governor must be aware of.

The 2020 general election draws near and the incredible positions of the Democratic Party supporters are becoming more and more plain. In the instances that I’ll showcase in this post, it’s Bernie Bros who are talking tough about instigating violence, imprisoning political enemies, and letting their inner National Bolshevik out. Here’s the soyboy Martin Weissgerber (courtesy of Project Veritas) talking tough and extolling the virtues of Soviet Gulags and forced re-education. I’m sure it would be a real Cultural Revolution:
Another day passes and another tragedy happens. In the case of a tanker explosion in Tanzania though the deaths of at least 62 people were easily avoidable. Here’s a tidbit from the Fox News story:
“Witnesses told the Associated Press that a crowd had gathered around the fuel tanker after it was involved in an accident early Saturday. People then rushed to try to siphon fuel, but the tanker burst into flames.”
Another insightful piece of the article:
“People getting killed in explosions while stealing fuel from incapacitated tankers are fairly frequent in East Africa, though the Saturday explosion is among the deadliest in Tanzania. Those stealing the fuel usually sell it to motorists for cheap.”
Apparently the explosion happened in a rather busy part of the town of Morogoro which may explain why there were so many injured however the first thought in my mind when I think of a gasoline tanker leaking near me is to get away. I wonder what’s going through the mind of someone standing next to a geyser of fuel to collect some and make a few bucks?
I saw this story out of Tanzania and it reminded me of a similar case out of Mexico that involved a pipeline explosion. In January of this year at least 96 people were killed near Tlahuelilpan, Mexico as they were trying to collect gas from an illegally tapped pipeline. I’ll be quoting a few bits from the Los Angeles Times story below, starting with a concerned father:
“‘I came here in the night looking for my son, walking through charred bodies lying on the ground,’ said Martin Francisco Trejo Hernandez, 55. ‘Some people were still alive, screaming in pain, screaming for help. I never imagined I would see such a sight.’”
It seems that shortly after the pipeline failed it was swarmed by hundreds of people with jerry cans, buckets, and barrels:
“Soon, as many as 800 people had converged on the site to gather gasoline, which gushed like a geyser from the ruptured pipeline more than 20 feet into the air, Luis Cresencio Sandoval, Mexico’s defense secretary, told reporters Saturday.”
“Videos taken before the blast showed soldiers standing around the scene who did not appear to make efforts to disperse the mob.
Cresencio, the defense secretary, sought to justify the military’s actions, saying the small number of soldiers had been unable to deter a sometimes “aggressive” crowd.”
I’m glad that I’m not so desperate as one who is willing to be drenched in gasoline to sell to people who actually have cars. Even if I was destitute, I believe that I might try a few other things first. I’m glad that I’m an American and pray that my country never turns into a Mexico or Tanzania…
I’ll embed a few notable comments from the Fox News article before signing off for the night:
This is yet another story where there really isn’t too much for me to add, I just felt like posting up some stories of what Mayor Ted Wheeler is seemingly allowing Antifa to get away with. I feel as though the photos, videos, and pathetic responses from Portland politicians say far more than I could offer up…

Take a gander at the tweet below and the video I’ve embedded right after…
But in the last couple of years, some have increasingly used their opportunity to exercise their 1st amendment rights, as an opportunity to incite violence.
“I am acutely conscious of the fact that for the State to order a woman to have a termination where it appears that she doesn’t want it is an immense intrusion,” “I have to operate in [her] best interests, not on society’s views of termination.”
Right, so it’s in the best interests of the woman to force the abortion on her? I’ve only looked through a few articles about this story and am really curious as to what British law allows such an order? From the Fox News article:
“She has been described as being in her 20s and is in the care of an NHS trust, as part of the country’s National Health Service. The woman’s mother, a former midwife, opposes the abortion procedure and told the court that she could take care of the child with the support from the daughter, Sky News reported. A social worker who works with the woman also said the pregnancy should not be terminated.”
“She added that having a child would be more traumatic for the woman than aborting it, as she wouldn’t be able to take care of the child due to the risk posed by her mental health problems and it would have to be put in a foster care.”
So, an abortion at 22 weeks is going to be less traumatic to her than giving the child up for adoption/having family take care of the kid? All because of her mental capacity? Here are a few more quotes from our esteemed judge:
“Pregnancy, although real to her, doesn’t have a baby outside her body she can touch,”
“would suffer greater trauma from having a baby removed,”
“It would at that stage be a real baby.”
Wait, is she saying that the baby isn’t real until born? The pregnancy is “real to her” as if it could be something else other than what is growing in her body? Would this woman never be allowed to see her child while in foster care? Well, it seems that the child will actually be removed from this world now. Here’s some basic info on when Justice Nathalie Lieven achieved her position for anyone who is curious.
“They are trying to erase our democracy, corrode it so much so that we stop believing in it. Because they know that that’s the only way to hold onto the power they have.”
Yes, Herr Drumpf and his supporters are tearing the country apart and the Democratic Party is doing nothing but bringing the republic closer together. I’m pretty certain that everyone reading this understands what delusional means, but let’s take a look at the exact definition:
adjective
adjective: delusional
characterized by or holding idiosyncratic beliefs or impressions that are contradicted by reality or rational argument, typically as a symptom of mental disorder.
“hospitalization for schizophrenia and delusional paranoia”
based on or having faulty judgment; mistaken.
“their delusional belief in the project’s merits never wavers”
Let’s look back at what the Democrats think of those who don’t accept election results:
Never forget folks, voter fraud isn’t real…
A strong, independent woman who don’t need no man. Stunning and brave…
“According to a news release from the attorney general’s office, Molina directed voters to change their addresses to places where they did not live — including an apartment complex owned by Molina — so they could vote for him. Molina, hailed as an “anti-establishment” outsider, won the election by 1,240 votes, unseating incumbent Mayor Richard Garcia in the South Texas town.”
“A total of 18 people have been arrested in connection with the scheme, according to the attorney general’s office.”
“‘He took a lot of time choosing his candidates,’ said Annette Givans of her father, John Cenkner.
Cenkner died in Palmdale in 2003. Despite this, records show that he somehow voted from the grave in 2004, 2005, 2006, 2008 and 2010.
But he’s not the only one.
CBS2 compared millions of voting records from the California Secretary of State’s office with death records from the Social Security Administration and found hundreds of so-called dead voters.
If you ever decide to think that voter fraud might be real, just stop thinking. It’s just a coincidence, don’t believe your own lying eyes. If you don’t look for it, it just doesn’t exist right?
The Fox News article lists some other interesting details. It’s a constant refrain of leftists to complain about U.S. intervention in other countries but a bunch of these illegal immigrants want the U.S. to overthrow the Honduran President:
“A letter from the group criticized U.S. intervention in Central America and asked the U.S. to remove Honduran President Orlando Hernandez from office. They gave the consulate 72 hours to respond.”
The statements and demands of the illegal immigrant caravan members never cease to entertain:
“In the meantime, families, women and children who have fled our countries continue to suffer and the civil society of Tijuana continue to be forced to confront this humanitarian crisis, a refugee crisis caused in great part by decades of U.S. intervention in Central America,”
Douglas Matute, one of the caravan members, had some very astute observations to make:
“A lot of people are leaving because there is no solution here,” and “We thought they would let us in. But Trump sent the military instead of social workers.”
In another interesting story that would’ve gotten a lot more coverage if someone else was President a North Dakota man was arrested for stealing a forklift in an attempt to kill President Trump. Gregory Lee Leingang was going to make his move as President Trump passed through Bismarck, North Dakota and according to U.S. Assistant State Attorney Brandie Russell: “The intent was to basically try to get to the limo, flip the limo and get to the president and he wanted to kill the president.” More simply amazing details from the story:
“Leingang tried to escape after the forklift got stuck in a gated area, according to reports. He was caught by local police and allegedly confessed his plan to authorities, including the U.S. Secret Service.”
