Schiff Shifts on Los Angeles DA

 
Leave a comment

by Daveda Gruber:

The District Attorney of Los Angeles, Jackie Lacey, is seeking a third term in office and Representative Adam Schiff D-Calif., had endorsed her a year ago.

Things have apparently shifted in Schiff’s mind because a progressive challenger has emerged during this time when law enforcement is dealing with criticism.

Schiff tweeted this:

California Assembly-Member, Laura Friedman, tweeted this:

The first black female district attorney in Los Angeles history stated to news outlets that she is proud of her work against racism criminal justice reform.

Lacey told newspaper reporters, “As the first African-American woman to hold the LA County D.A.’s office, I am proud of my record of taking on systemic racism and reforming criminal justice — from bail reform, to reducing juvenile cases by nearly 50 percent, to increasing our office’s focus on mental health treatment instead of incarceration. I am singularly focused on doing the work of the people of LA County during this time of crisis.”

It has been reported that that the same day that Schiff made his announcement protestors congregated outside Lacey’s home.

The protestors urged Lacey to file charges against the police officers who fatally shot Alex Flores and Daniel Hernandez. The shooting occurred in separate incidents in 2019 and 2020.

It appears that it did not help matters when Lacy apologized for the incident that her husband, David Lacy, had allegedly pointed a gun at approximately fifty Black Lives Matter protestors who were on their property and threatened to shoot them.

Truth and Bigotry

Leave a comment

By now most casual news readers have come across a George Orwell attributed quote or thought somewhere on the internet.

One such idea is “In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.”

For those of you who have been with me for a while you are acutely aware that the Truth is the only thing I produce.

The Truth can make some uncomfortable, and be brutal for others, but this is what we do here.

If I cannot prove it I don’t use it.

Each century of historical human behavior has its own level of deceit.

As things get “better” they also get “worse”.

Those that need this explained should head back to CNN or Yahoo News as the Truth is about to be released and there is no doubt “you can’t handle” it.

Black Lives Don’t Matter.

Never have. Never will.

I’m not going to explain this either as I have a simple rule with the stupid.

Never verbally engage a fool as one only double the fools in the conversation.

Be gone with you Keyboard Warriors.

You bore me.

“Black Men” in America kill more humans than any other color in the United States.

This is a bigoted FACT with actual statistics.

Try and make sense of that one.

The only factual argument against this is that life is an individual experience and no one should be grouped with another based on something with which they have no control (skin color) but that logic doesn’t seem to matter in “today’s” Orwellian world so Black Men are the ones that other humans, especially other Black Men and Women, should avoid to lessen the chances of being assaulted, robbed or killed.

Many across America are reading this now and asking,”Did he just say Black Men and Women should avoid other Black Men, and if they did so, would lessen their chances of being assaulted, robbed or killed?

According to the color coders, Jesse Jackson and FBI statistics the answer is resoundingly YES.

Right now Liberals are beside themselves, as they try to rationalize the usage of grouping humans by color, dealing with the facts of the behavior of said group and supporting the abortion of exactly that group.

Oh if only the Libs had listened to Hillary’s Hero known as Eugenics Margaret there wouldn’t be any Blacks at all by now . . . or poor White folk but that is TOO much truth for the Dems so let us step aside as they plummet down the rabbit hole.

Black Slave Labor did not build the United States.

Again as I’ve explained this ad nausem I’m not going to bother with a FACTUAL breakdown of history.

I will simply point to California (at least before the Libs took over) as being one of the top ten economies IN THE WORLD without one drop of Black Slave Labor.

Furthermore when the War Between the States was over a good portion of the South was burned to the ground and had to be rebuilt.

It was called Reconstruction and it was done by FREE men and women.

Facts are facts.

Progressives and White Guilt RINOS can keep blaming Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben but in the end syrup and rice are still going to be around.

The new call across Liberal Land is that Blacks must be in charge of everything, in order to right all the wrongs of the White Supremacist Nazi Klan world they’ve been forced to be in, because they were ripped from their original homes in Africa.

Again, let us not bother with the factual historical data of how the tribes sold captives of other tribes to slavers, many who were Muslim.

Let us just ignore the Muslims in America historically, and right now, who HATE these United States and want to see its demise.

Yes, looking at you Farrakhan and your disciples known as Ellison, Omar, Sarsour, Kaepernick and Obama.

A picture is worth a thousand words.

Yes Liberals, this is easy to find on the Net as all of these names, and many more, support Hamas.

Some have called for the killing of Whites, Jews and Toms but let not the facts get in the way.

Let us continue with our skin color bigotry and point out that, “Africa” is filled with “Black Labor” and yet is the poorest “continent” on Earth.

I’ve never understood the usage of a land mass to explain humans but African-Americans do it all the time so let us also point out that Africa is filled with Black Humans and is the deadliest continent for humans to live on.

Hmmm . . . I’m sensing a trend of bigotry.

Africa is filled with “Blacks” and is the least safest place to live in the world.

“Blacks” in America kill more humans, including other “Blacks” than any other color in the U. S..

In fact cities that are run by “Blacks” including but not limited to Baltimore, Detroit, Chicago, etc., rank as the most dangerous places to live, but as I mentioned before, the call is for “Blacks” to run everything.

From a color coded concept this does not appear to be a good idea but what do I know.

I’m just a crazy freckle faced ginger.

Still if “Blacks” were in charge what would happen to Affirmative Action, the Congressional Black Caucus, Guam?

Would it finally tip over?

Would Ebonics overtake Spanish?

Would OJ and Jussie finally come clean?

Would Dave Chappelle still call his kids little niggers and would that still be considered funny?

Would Dr. Ben Carson, a NEUROSURGEON, be treated as having one of the finest minds in his brethren, or would he continue to be called a Tom for his support of Donald Trump who interestedly enough received an NAACP award?

How would all this go?

Let’s take a look at Atlanta, soon to be referred to as The Night the Lights Went out in Georgia.

District Attorney-“Black”.

Mayor-“Black”.

Cops are now refusing shifts, crimes is skyrocketing and that’s saying something in the Land of the Tomahawk Chop.

Reportedly their answer in Atlanta is “We are not answering 911 calls right now due to personnel issues.”

What to do, what to do?

Do we simply stand down and let the “Blacks” take over everything?

Doesn’t look too good in Compton, Oakland or Watts right now.

Well?

Maybe we take a “new” look at the idea of “color”.

Does having ancestors who were closer in proximity to the Sun matter?

No.

Skin color, any skin color only matters to bigots.

A Black man in California is not responsible for the actions of a Black man in New York.

That is a fact.

Furthermore a Black man or woman who did not own slaves in either Africa or America is not responsible for a Black man or woman who did.

Neither are the Whites.

Still, if skin color is your primary concern, there are places one can go.

Whites can head to Canada as many who supported the King and dodged the Vietnam draft did.

Please take Joy Behar with you and make all of our dreams come true.

Blacks can head to Liberia.

No need to wait for Juneteenth.

Bret Baier to Interview John Bolton

 
Leave a comment

by Daveda Gruber:

How many of you watch FOX News? Will you tune in on Tuesday, June 23rd, at 6:00 p.m. Eastern Standard time? Chief political anchor Bret Baier is set to interview former National Security Adviser John Bolton.

The FOX News show, “Special Report” may have a lot of viewers because people are curious enough to tune in.

The interview falls on the day that Bolton’s book/memoir, “The Room Where It Happened,” should be hitting book stores.

The book is expected to be quite controversial. Most of us have heard that Bolton’s book contain a passage that says that President Trump once said that reporters “should be executed.”

Other controversial things include that Trump requested that his White House counsel contact the Justice Department to discuss whether jailing journalists would be possible.

An emergency injunction is being sought at this moment to prevent the release/publication of the book in question because the manuscript contains confidential information.

Claims have been made that Bolton had deliberately bypassed the necessary classification review process.

Trump tweeted out his thoughts on the matter:

Trump also re-tweeted Daniel (Dan) Scavino, who is an American political advisor, currently serving as the White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Communications and Director of Social Media, who tweeted this:

FOX may have high rating for the upcoming segment, but then their ratings are already higher than other cable networks.

Liberal Groups Warn Biden He Could Lose Election

  ,
Leave a comment

by Daveda Gruber:

The presumptive Democratic presidential nominee will receive a letter that was signed on Monday by over fifty left-leaning groups.

The groups feel that Biden’s response to the protests over the death of George Floyd were “far from sufficient” and that his past performance in the Senate needed to be addressed.

The letter, which was reported by The New York Post, states, “As a Senator, you not only supported but in many cases authored and championed laws that expanded mass incarceration, increased police powers, and exacerbated racial disparities in surveillance and sentencing. These laws broke apart Black communities and robbed many young Black people of a future. They are a part of the history that has led us to this moment, and their ongoing fallout has contributed to the outpourings of grief and anger we are seeing today.”

The letter goes on to condemn Biden’s present campaign commitment to add $300 million in funding for community policing programs. It also says that Biden’s campaign stance described as a Harding-like “return to normalcy” is insufficient.

The letter states that Biden cannot win the election without the enthusiasm of Black voters.

You can see the entire letter here:

Besides the Black vote becoming more of a challenge, Biden is constantly ridiculed for his gaffs, and there are many.

Within his own party, Biden faces more Progressive members whom have called for aggressive anti-police measures. They want defunding, or even abolishing, police forces.

The broader electorate disagree with radical measures.

Biden has called on Congress to pass a law banning the use of chokeholds by police. He would also like to see a stop to giving police forces military weapons.

The former Vice President would like to create a model “use of force” standard and to improve oversight and accountability of police forces.

In a recent USA Today op-ed, Biden said, “While I do not believe federal dollars should go to police departments violating people’s rights or turning to violence as the first resort, I do not support defunding police. The better answer is to give police departments the resources they need to implement meaningful reforms, and to condition other federal dollars on completing those reforms.”

It appears Biden has a deep hole that he has to climb out of because his presumptive voters are not all in agreement with all of his polices and beliefs.

One can imagine Biden clawing out of the basement and peeking around to see if everything was safe, comes to mind.

November is not that far away but I wouldn’t be looking forward to the debates with President Trump that will precede the presidential election, if I were Biden.

New Cases of COVID-19 in Minneapolis & St. Paul?

  ,
Leave a comment

by Daveda Gruber:

There has been a lot of mass protests after the death of George Flyod and people were all rather close; some wore masks but some of the protestors did not.

We’ve heard from health officials across the country and they have predicted many new cases would arise. They have also injected fear into people over this.

Minnesota health officials are conducting coronavirus tests for protesters at four sites in Minneapolis and St. Paul.

Testing for COVID-19 has risen because of the protests, rioting and looting. More than 1,300 people who protested Minnesota’s Twin Cities and the results may surprise some people.

Very few new cases are showing. More than 3,300 protesters have gone to be tested and 40 percent, or about 1,300 have received their test results.

Only about 1.4 percent tested positive for the virus.

On Friday 13,000 test results statewide had 3.7 percent positive results.

That’s lower than the current seven-day average rate of positive tests, which also stands at 3.7 percent.

Even though the numbers are looking good, state Department of Health director of infectious disease, Kris Ehresmann, stated that there were not enough results to draw firm conclusions about the impact of the mass gatherings in Minnesota.

Ehresmann said, “Our testing is a bit pre-emptive, if you will,” It is a different situation.”

I will presume that Ehresmann is being pessimistic and believes the numbers could somehow be larger out of concern for the health of people living in the “North Star State.”

Personally, I’m getting fed up with my own state, which is Pennsylvania, and the fear mongering that is going on here and all over the country.

There are states that shutdown everything and people were on lockdown for fear of contracting the coronavirus.

That may have stayed in place if not for all the people gathering in masses while protesting, rioting and looting.

Sometimes good comes out of a bad situation. This may have happened in this circumstance.

Unfortunately, another man has died at the hands of a police officer in Atlanta, Georgia. Rayshard Brooks, 27, was fatally shot by police at a Wendy’s drive-thru after officials said he resisted arrest and stole an officer’s Taser.

I don’t even want to think about what will happen over this man’s death.

Ten Times Biggest Trump Rally Signup Ever

  ,
Leave a comment

by Daveda Gruber:

President Trump rescheduled his June Rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, that was originally planned for June 19th to June 20th.

June 19th is celebrated as Juneteenth and is known as a remembrance of when Texas slaves were made aware of the end of slavery in the United States two years after the Emancipation Proclamation.

Tulsa, in 1921, was the scene of one of the most severe attacks on blacks in American history.

Because of the meaning of the date, black community and political leaders denounced the move and called on Trump to reschedule his rally.

Trump spoke with several people including Senator James Lankford, R-Okla., and Senator Tim Scott, R-S.C., and it was allegedly thought that the campaign schedulers didn’t understand the significance of the date of June 19th.

Trump campaign officials, in selecting June 19th, say it was not intended to be an aggressive move but some pushback was expected. They said that they were caught off guard by the intensity and, in particular, the link to the 1921 massacre.

Trump tweeted that he had moved the rally to Saturday, June 20, out of respect for the view of supporters and others who had asked him to.

Here are Trumps tweets:

As you can see from Trump’s tweets, they had 200,000 tickets reserved. Well that didn’t last long.

On Sunday, Trump’s campaign manager, Brad Parscale tweeted this:

The campaign rally, now scheduled for the 20th, according to Trump’s campaign team, has received the largest number of ticket requests for any of his events.

There is nothing in the world like a Trump Rally and it appears Trump fans have missed going to them.

A silly thought comes to my mind. How many tickets could Joe Biden fans have ordered?

And people still believe polls?

In 2016, I was certain that Trump would win the presidency. Some people around me were very skeptical of my thinking.

But I knew Trump would win, do you know why? I had been watching Trump rallies on the Internet where the crowds were shown. I saw the support he had! I saw the excitement and the energy. I could feel it.

You can’t hide the truth, tell lies and believe your own lies and that is exactly what the MSM did.

God bless President Trump and God bless America!

Innocent Until Proven Guilty

  ,
Leave a comment

Those who’ve read Late Bird will be familiar with the many times my family moved as a child.

Each move created an opportunity for a “best friend”.

One individual that you knew was on your side.

My first best friend was named Paul.

Paul and I attended Douglas MacArthur Elementary in Lakewood CA.  A couple years later our move to Garden Grove provided a new opportunity with a boy named George.

George lived next door and we became best buddies almost immediately.

From Garden Grove we landed in Trinity County and eventually the best friend title was given to a kid named Boyd.

I’m sure some of you Beatles fans were thinking I was going to say John or Ringo.

From Southern to Northern California we all had two things in common.

We were American boys and as Tom Petty so eloquently stated we loved “American Girl(s)”.

Fast forward a few decades and things have changed quite a bit.

My friend Paul is now referred to as Asian.

My friend George is now called an Hispanic.

My friend Boyd is now a Latino or Puerto Rican depending upon the level of bigotry.

My new title?

Racist and white privileged.

Of course none of these things, starting with Paul and ending with me are true but too many in today’s America have subscribed to the concept of never letting the truth get in the way of a “good story”.

For example Gavin Newsom, current Governor of California, stood in front of cameras and stated that, “We (white people) are the problem.”

Today’s White men and women are responsible for everything that has “happened” to the Black population in America dating back to slavery.

On every level this is false but Gavin stood up and stated that he was a part of “We” so let us define what he has pled to.

In slavery, which still takes place on the continent of Africa, men, women and children are beaten, raped and murdered.

Gavin doesn’t speak for me or anyone I know as none of us have ever committed these acts but due to his statement, he and men and women who look and think like him, are apparently guilty of CRIMES and as such must be dealt with.

Newsom also referenced a George as well and spent time opining about the “Black population” as did many Liberals across America.

None of what they said was true but they roamed from camera to camera, State to State, celebrating the life of a pathetic piece of fecal matter who was high as a kite, attempting to pass counterfeit money and oh by the way served time in prison for assault and reportedly raped a woman.

Gavin and his Progressive cohorts ranted and raved that this man’s life was taken too soon.

Pointing a gun at a pregnant woman’s stomach, threatening to murder her and her child and again RAPE?

The only good thing that happened in this predator’s life is that it ended.

Sadly not soon enough.

I’m starting to miss Trayvon Martin and his baby photos.

At least he was filled with Skittles.

Allegedly.

I’ve had many conversations with different people about the Floyd incident. Every single one started out saying, “Man that cop shouldn’t have been on his neck that long” or “What was the cop thinking killing that guy?”

My answer has always been the same.

We’ve been shown some footage or a photo.

No one has any idea what really happened.

You weren’t there and neither was I.

That’s what the trial is for.

Presumption of innocence until proven guilty but of course we don’t have that anymore either.

We have Clinton, Comey, Clapper Justice where felonies are committed and everyone gets their own book deal.

We have Kaepernick, Lebron, Farrakhan Justice where the only good White or Jew is a dead White or Jew while they live off the slave labor of Chinese children and embrace Muhammed and Mao.

We have Bill Barr Justice where Antifa stalked and assassinated high ranking American Law Enforcement specifically because they had black skin and yet continues to move with impunity from coast to coast.

Somehow those Black Lives Didn’t Matter.

The felon and abuser George Floyd, reportedly stoned on fentanyl and amphetamines, begged for his mother when death finally came calling.

If certain aspects of society are going to be blamed for events centuries ago then it only appears appropriate to honor his last request.

His mother should be ashamed and required to pay reparations to any and all this piece of garbage abused.

Speaker of the House Pelosi took a knee for Floyd and mumbled I can’t breathe.

A noose should fix that problem.

No Suing if You Go to a Trump Rally

  ,
Leave a comment

by Daveda Gruber:

It is rather exciting that President Trump is staring rallies again. Next week, a rally is planned in Tulsa, Oklahoma, but there is one catch, you must agree to not to sue the Trump reelection campaign if you contract the coronavirus.

If you want a ticket to the rally, you must agree that you are aware of the risk of COVID-19.

“By clicking register below, you are acknowledging that an inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 exists in any public place where people are present. By attending the Rally, you and any guests voluntarily assume all risks related to exposure to COVID-19 and agree not to hold Donald J. Trump for President, Inc.; BOK Center; ASM Global; or any of their affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents, contractors, or volunteers liable for any illness or injury.”

Here it is in a tweet by Paul Steihauser:

The president enjoys campaigning and had full intentions of resuming his rallies in July but the unset of protests in large numbers led him to get back to rallies sooner and one is scheduled for June 19th in Tulsa where the venue is an indoor arena.

Joe Biden has resumed small-scale in-person campaign events. All participants wear face-masks. Biden has not resumed in-person fundraisers or rallies.

Trump has already started his fundraising campaigns since the unset of COVID-19. On Thursday an in-person fundraiser took place in Dallas, Texas.

Since people are gathering in large numbers to protest, loot, burn down infrastructure and vehicles the president doesn’t see a problem with rallies.

It is understood that the virus is still not contained but people have different and conflicting views on its severity and cure.

Masks are still mandatory in some states but people various ideas on that too.

Theories are in abundance about the coronavirus, as well.

I’m not a doctor or a scientist but I do have my own thoughts on the issue.

Bill Gates and some high level Democrats have given money to Wuhan, China. Bill Gates wants the citizens of the world to be vaccinated. He owns a patent through a company, for a vaccine. If this were to be mandated, Gates would be a trillionaire.

I’ve written more extensively on some of these issues but let’s get down to the nitty gritty.

Who are the losers from COVID-19?

  1. The people who are sick or who have died.
  2. People in nursing homes who were infected when COVID-19 patients were sent to nursing homes.
  3. People who lost jobs and/or business when they could not work or open their businesses.
  4. Trump, because the good he did for the economy was washed away.
  5. Trump because he could no longer hold rallies for his supporters and people deciding if they would vote for him.

Who are the winners from COVID-19?

  1. Democrats because they blame Trump for it.
  2. Democrats because Trump banned travel to some countries and they could call Trump a racist for this.
  3. Democrats because they blame Trump for mishandling the pandemic.
  4. Democrats because they no longer have to rebut the state of the economy.
  5. Democrats because Joe Biden is not out in the public making a fool of himself. (This hasn’t worked out well because he still speaks from his basement.)
  6. Criminals who do not want to recognized.

Here are some facts about wearing a mask:

A mask is supposed to be used for a limited time. If used long term:

  1. Oxygen in the blood is reduced.
  2. Oxygen to the brain is reduced.
  3. You start to feel weak.
  4. May lead to death.

If you go into isolation in a hospital this is what you are subjected to:

  1. Vitamin C-100
  2. Vitamin E
  3. During 10 to 12 hours sitting in the sunshine for 15 – 20 minutes.
  4. Egg meal once a day.
  5. Sleeping a minimum of 7 to 8 hours a night.
  6. Drinking 1.5 liters of water per day.
  7. Eating warm meals and no cold meals.
  8. Consuming foods that boost the immune system, for example, high alkaline foods that are above the acidity of the virus.

Examples of Alkaline rich foods:

Green lemon

Yellow lemon

Avocado

Garlic

Mango

Tangerine

Pineapple

Watercress

Oranges

*Note that pH of coronavirus is between 5.5 to 8.5

How to not be infected by the virus is simple too. Build up your immune system.

I will reiterate that I am not a doctor or a scientist. These facts that I’ve shown you are through my own investigations.

I’m not telling anyone what to do. Do as you see fit. Wash your hands often as you should be doing anyways.

Would you go to a Trump rally during this pandemic? Would you wear a mask? I’m not hiding my face because I have nothing to hide it from and I don’t have the virus. If I were sick, I’d stay home but if I’m not sick, I’m protecting others from my germs, not myself by wearing a mask.

Stay safe and healthy!

Billy Prempeh: A New Generation of Leadership

  ,
Leave a comment

by Daveda Gruber:

I run into many Congressional candidates in my adventure though social media and some have a more lasting impression on me than others.

William “Billy” Prempeh is one who’s name people will know and remember.

Prempeh is running for the 9th Congressional District of the beautiful state of New Jersey. He has been residing in Paterson, New Jersey, for his entire life.

He is the son of legal immigrants from Ghana, West Africa, who came to the United States in the late eighties. They immigrated here for a better life than the one they were living. They worked hard to attain what they had and their son, Billy, was born in 1989.

Prempeh is set on making his parents proud. He’s a first generation American and he wants to help the country that his mother and father risked so much to immigrate to. He feels that not doing his civil duty would dishonor his parents.

When Prempeh turned eighteen, while his friends were enjoying their college years, he decided to enlist in the United States Air Force.

He took an oath before God to defend his country, the United States Constitution and the citizens of this great nation against all enemies foreign and domestic.

Prempeh was stationed at RAF Mildenhall England, UK where he specialized as an Aerospace Ground Equipment Journeyman (2A6X2).

This tall and gentle man loves his country and is determined to Make America Greater than it is today. In his younger years, at the age of eighteen, Prempeh identified with Republican and Conservative values. He’s been a proud member of the Republican party since then.

Prempeh enjoys meeting his many fans on social media. He currently is the Front Runner for the Republican party in the 9th district of New Jersey.

This man has won the nomination of Hudson County, Passaic County, and Bergen County while having the support of the “Republican National Hispanic Assembly.”

Prempeh may only be thirty years old but he has the energy and strong beliefs that are needed to be a leader. He also has a strong connection to younger Americans.

He is a very strong supporter of President Trump.

Some of his policies:

Pro Life

Immigration Reform

Borders

Infrastructure

Pro 2nd Amendment

Veterans

School Choice

Term Limits

The Republican party needs some new fresh blood and new ideas to regain a solid bond with younger Americans. We must reignite the spark in our younger generation. We can set the path in the right direction by voting Prempeh in office.

The Democratic party has already began to show that new young leaders can make a difference but is that the difference that we, as Conservative Americans, want? No, I don’t believe so.

The Republican party must embrace our younger leaders and vote in good men like Prempeh because that is our future. We must not give away our Conservative beliefs and it is our obligation, as Conservative Americans, to set forth a path for our young leaders.

With pleasure, I am giving my endorsement to Billy Prempeh for New Jersey’s 9th Congressional District.

Here is a video of Prempeh speaking on term limits and legislation:

Here is a video where Prempeh is on Patriots in Tune with Toots Sweet and Jewels Jones:

Vote Prempeh!

Defunding Police: Who you Gonna Call?

  ,
Leave a comment

by Daveda Gruber:

Some Democratic leaders want to defund police forces across America.

Sadly, murders and shooting are reported to be on the rise in New York City. There were thirteen murders in the past week compared to five during that time last year.

On top of that, there were also forty shootings which is an increase from the twenty-four that occurred in that period last year. It is also the highest weekly total in the city since 2015.

Defunding the NYPD may not be wise at this time but some people don’t seem to understand this premise.

Other cities and states with Democratic leadership have expressed wanting to defund police forces too.

Defunding the police means what it says:

Divesting funds from police departments and then reallocating them to social services and other community resources where they are presumed to be needed.

I have lived my life with the idea to call the police if there is a crime happening or if I was in a dangerous situation. Isn’t 911 the number people choose to dial if they are in or encountering a problem?

So, if someone is witnessing a crime in progress and they dial 911, who’s is going to respond? Ghostbusters?

Sadly, the entire cast of Ghostbusters is not still alive to come to the rescue. Writer-director Harold Ramis, famous for his role as Egon Spengler in Ghostbusters, tragically passed away in 2014. According to his family, Ramis passed away at his Chicago home due to complications stemming from autoimmune inflammatory vasculitis. He was 69 years old.

But Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson, and Bill Murray are still around; will they answer your call? I think not.

The stupidity of those who would defund police forces is well beyond my comprehension.

In New York state fifty-seven police officers resigned. A NYC police officer also was randomly attacked and stabbed in the neck last Wednesday while patrolling in Brooklyn.

Meanwhile in Minneapolis approximately twenty-seven Minneapolis officers retired this month, bringing the year’s total so far to 40. It has also been reported that twenty-four officers just quit.

President Trump tweeted on June 7th:

So now if law abiding citizens need help, will they get it? If there are not enough police to answer calls, who you gonna call? Ghostbusters? Will they help you? I’m not sure because if you don’t have ghosts, what can they help with?

I had to add my little bit of humor to my article because if I don’t, I may not sleep at night.
