Just as traffic cameras are racist, so too are traffic stops by the police. Therefore, Seattle is severely restricting them. The inevitable increase in crime is unimportant; imposing equity is the primary concern of those with power.

Via KTTH:

Seattle Police Department interim Chief Adrian Diaz announced sweeping new policies that ban many non-criminal traffic stops. The move is framed around equity concerns, with the chief arguing that because not everyone can afford to pay the traffic violation fines, they must not be enforced. …

Under the new policies, SPD will no longer treat several violations as the primary reason to engage in a traffic stop. They include expired or missing registration, which is sometimes a clue that a car is stolen.

Although class rhetoric is employed, the progressive campaign to undermine public safety is rooted in critical race theory.

These policies came from a working group convened by Seattle Inspector General Lisa Judge, at the behest of Diaz. Judge is a progressive activist who doesn’t trust police officers.

Even as crime rates skyrocket, the BLM-inspired War on Police continues.

In May 2021, Judge called on Diaz to end all low-level traffic stops because they are, she argues, especially dangerous for Black motorists.

Judge quacks moronically about “root causes,” “institutional racism,” “subconscious bias,” and “racial fairness” to justify her absurd and dangerous objectives.

As leftists impose their lunatic ideology, they render America unsafe for anyone of any color except criminals.

Unless this is all some grotesque nightmare, moonbattery has reduced us to the point where we are actually ruled by freaks like Lori Lightfoot, who took a few moments off from plunging Chicago ever deeper into violent chaos to post a video with her “wife,” wishing us a “joyous Kwanzaa”:

The response on Twitter to this call for us to embrace the seven principles of Kwanzaa was not enthusiastic:

Actually, the seven principles are identical to those of the Symbionese Liberation Army, which is best known for kidnapping heiress Patty Hearst, brainwashing her, and converting her into a bank-robbing Marxist guerilla.

Kwanzaa is a contrived black supremacist/socialist holiday invented in 1966 by California State black studies professor Maulana Ndabezitha Karenga (a.k.a. Ronald Everett) as a moonbat alternative to Christmas.

Background on Karenga:

Karenga was convicted in 1971 for brutally torturing two naked women. The weapons of torture included a soldering iron, a vise and, of course, a toaster.

The toaster was used to beat the women over the head.

The women were members of Karenga’s ultra-radical, paramilitary, black nationalist cult called the US Organization, which went by the acronym US, according to contemporaneous news stories.

The women were held at gunpoint. Karenga put a hot soldering iron in one woman’s mouth. The other woman had her toes squeezed in a vice.

A psychiatrist asked to evaluate Karenga found him to be “both paranoid and schizophrenic.”

Christmas has Jesus Christ. Kwanzaa has Maulana Karenga.

Kwanzaa is to holidays what Black Lives Matter riots are to legitimate protests. Both are contrived and promoted by the liberal establishment. Both are grounded in the same ideology and express the same savage, sociopathic mindset.

Lori Lightfoot opened the gates of hell by throwing in with the antipolice movement on behalf of BLM, even proposing an $80 million cut to the police budget. Now she can’t get the gates closed again. It is fitting that she should celebrate Kwanzaa as Chicago continues to circle the drain.

Under Obama, Democrats lit up the White House in the rainbow colors representing LGBT militancy to celebrate the Supreme Court’s coercive debasement of marriage. The only way to top this would be to paint the White House black to celebrate Black Lives Matter and the hundreds of riots it has inflicted on the country in the name of its Marxist, black supremacist ideology.

Mark Dice takes to the San Diego seaside to see if people think it’s a good idea:

People like this vote. That’s why the White House has Joe Biden in it, which is more of a desecration than any paint job could accomplish.

Kyle Rittenhouse was forced to defend himself from maniacal criminals who were trying to kill him because the liberal establishment had exploited a clearly justified police shooting to stage riots in Kenosha. They are at it again.

Most of the heavy lifting when it comes to staging riots is done right in front of our faces by the liberal establishment media. But some of the work is more furtive:

Jury deliberations began Tuesday. The next day, Demi Pietchell wrote this:

Between 12 and 1 PM EST earlier today, a Kenosha officer checked a local alley way and verified there are “bricks everywhere.” The audio begins here at the 1:11 mark.

Hmm… preparing for the Kyle Rittenhouse verdict already, are we?

This should all sound familiar because it’s how we got into this mess to begin with….

In 2020, during the Kenosha riots when Kyle Rittenhouse was arrested, mysterious bricks were delivered. In fact, every single city where a riot broke out had stacks and stacks of bricks delivered, seemingly out of nowhere. In most places, security had been disabled so that no one could access security camera videos and see who delivered the bricks in stacks off of trucks on huge pallets.

Click through to see many pallets of bricks. I’m surprised the Democrat Powers That Be didn’t arrange pallets of Molotov cocktails. Anyone surprised to hear that Twitter has been censoring these pictures?

Every bit of this has been contrived to prop up the liberal narrative, since before a criminal lowlife’s death by fentanyl overdose was exploited as a pretext for rioting.

The Rittenhouse case is crucial to the leftists engineering what we see on television exactly because their victim is so obviously innocent. If they can use jury intimidation to railroad a decent kid who was doing the good deed of protecting people’s property when he was forced to defend his own life, it will be clear that there is no law in this country but the law of the left-wing mob.

Hate hoaxers are usually nobodies attempting to achieve power the easy way. Alarmingly, we are starting to see hate hoaxers who already have power. Jussie Smollett never topped any marquees, but he staged his laughably incompetent hoax as part of the powerful Hollywood establishment. Due to his race being so rare in racing, Bubba Wallace, who claimed that a garage door pull was a racist noose, was powerful enough that NASCAR banned Confederate flags on his command. Now we have Cori Bush, formerly a Black Lives Matter activist but now a member of Congress:

Repeating the lie that Michael Brown was “murdered” at the hands of a white police officer, Cori Bush falsely claimed on Monday that white supremacists in Ferguson, Missouri, would literally hide up in the hills and callously shoot at protesters.

True enough, the claim that Michael Brown was murdered is not an opinion but a straightforward lie. Even Barack Obama’s hyperpoliticized and hyperracialized Injustice Department could not find wrongdoing on the part of Officer Darren Wilson, who was forced to shoot the maniac Brown in self-defense. Like Kyle Rittenhouse, Wilson would be imprisoned for life anyway if it were up to Bush, if only for putting up resistance to the violent criminal element Bush represents.

“When we marched in Ferguson, white supremacists would hide behind a hill near where Michael Brown Jr. was murdered and shoot at us,” she said. “They never faced consequences. If Kyle Rittenhouse gets acquitted, it tells them that even 7 years later they still can get away with it.”

Like Joe Biden and Geraldo Rivera, Bush pretends that Rittenhouse is a white supremacist because in the eyes of the liberal establishment this makes him fair game to be destroyed.

Imagine the investigations by the media and the Democratic Party if there were any chance whatsoever that Bush’s story is true. Yet the liberal establishment has no interest in pursuing it, because that would only draw attention to what a truly evil woman she is — even if she has confirmation from Black Lives Matter activist Ohun Ashe:

“This is FACTS! I vividly remember hiding under porches in Canfield as shots were fired at us. No one came to help us. We would come from under porches using cars as shields in between gun shots to make it out,” tweeted Ashe.

White supremacists firing upon sacred black people would be a dream come true for liberals. Think of how many papers the New York Times could sell. Maybe CNN could pull its ratings out of their tailspin.

However, Ferguson’s black Police Chief Frank McCall Jr confirms that there is no record of an incident like Bush describes. The closest thing would be Jeffrey Williams, who is also black, shooting two cops in the security line outside police headquarters.

Matt Christiansen calls Bush “Hillary Smollett” for combining the outlandish lies of Shrillary landing under sniper fire in Bosnia with Smollett’s fictional assault by a white supremacist:

By now it is beyond obvious that not even the almighty mainstream media can frame Kyle Rittenhouse for murder, because there are mountains of evidence including video confirming his innocence. Moonbats are preparing for the inevitable. For example, former Portland activist and current Vice Chair of the Oregon Democratic Black Caucus Gregory McKelvey calls for blacks to be given time off from work following the verdict, presumably so they don’t have to riot on their own time:

You can see why a guy arrested for assaulting an underage girl would be upset about the failed railroading of Kyle Rittenhouse, who killed Joseph Rosenbaum in self-defense:

Rosenbaum was charged by a grand jury with 11 counts of child molestation and inappropriate sexual activity with children, including anal rape.

Prosecutor Thomas Binger calls rioters like Rosenbaum “heroes.” When your heroes include people like George Floyd and Joseph Rosenbaum, it’s time to ask, “Are we the baddies?”

Mission accomplished. Democrats are in power. Black Lives Matter lowlifes can go back to their housing projects and watch Netflix while they wait on their welfare check. Or maybe it isn’t that easy to get the genie back in the bottle:

A Black Lives Matter leader vowed there’ll be “riots,” “fire” and “bloodshed” if Mayor-elect Eric Adams follows through with his promise to bring back plainclothes anti-crime cops to battle New York’s surge in violent crimes.

New York BLM co-founder Hawk Newsome debated the plan for a return to tougher policing with Adams during a contentious sit-down at Brooklyn Borough Hall Wednesday that was livestreamed on Instagram.

The liberal establishment has conditioned black supremacist thugs like Newsome to believe that laws do not apply to them, and that their every wish will be granted if only they shout social justice slogans while burning down police stations and looting shopping malls. You can’t free a ferocious beast from the zoo and then after it has mauled a few people politely ask it to return to its cage.

Mayor-Elect Adams may be a Leftist of Color, but that isn’t good enough. Nothing will ever be good enough, so long as thugs can achieve power by being aggrieved.

As the case against Kyle Rittenhouse collapses completely, it becomes more obvious than ever that the poor kid is only being dragged through this trial for political reasons, as the prosecution clearly knows he is innocent. However, he might still be found guilty. Law Enforcement Today explains how:

In a now-viral video on social media, a man identified as Cortez Rice seems to be threatening to dox jurors if they do not return a guilty verdict.

Rice was very close to George Floyd, so close that BNC News reports that Floyd called Rice his nephew, even though the pair were unrelated by blood.

Too bad the authorities are too busy intimidating parents from speaking out at schoolboard meetings to look into jury tampering like this:

At least we all know who the bad guys are. Too bad the government and the media are on their side. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have to worry so much about intimidation dictating the outcome of trials, as when a sitting member of congress called for riots in Minneapolis if the railroading of Derek Chauvin didn’t go according to plan. That miscarriage of justice is what Rice is referring to when he demands “the same results.”

Crime is never encouraged, but given that riots in his name destroyed a vast number of statues of American heroes, what more appropriate way to honor career criminal George Floyd than this?

Daily Caller reports:

The statue was unveiled Thursday in New York City’s Union Square alongside statues of Breonna Taylor and former Congressman John Lewis, according to NBC New York. The exhibition will be on display for one month in order to “raise awareness of racism and actions for correction.”

The civil rights movement, which once had moral credibility, has been reduced to the level of a sociopathic lowlife who died of a fentanyl overdose while resisting arrest for passing counterfeit currency.

This isn’t the first time George Floyd statues have been vandalized. Not everyone is on board with our depraved state religion under liberal rule.

Allowing leftists to dictate policy has consequences. An easily predictable result of their Black Lives Matter-inspired campaign to demonize, demoralize, defund, and hamstring local police has been an explosion of murder:

The murder rate rose by nearly 30% in 2020, more than any other time in the last half-century. This is according to recently released statistics compiled by the Federal Bureau of Investigation in its annual report on crime.

The report shows that there were 4,901 more murders committed in 2020 than in 2019.

No worries, Democrats. The FBI only needs to get slightly more politicized before crime statistics that reflect poorly on the liberal agenda are doctored like the phony temperature stats the feds provide to prop up the global warming hoax.

Progressives have hamstrung local police and torn our national fabric. Until they are driven from power and the damage is repaired, the murder rate will remain stratospheric:

It looks like 2021 will have similar numbers to 2020, with only a slight dip in the national rate of increase in murder.

It’s only the rate of increase that has slowed since apocalyptic 2020. The murder rate continues to rise.

Democrats plan to exploit the problem they caused to inflict an even worse problem. They want to blame murders on guns as a pretext to disarm law-abiding citizens, rendering them defenseless in the face of rising violence. Despite their rhetoric, prior to the rise of Black Lives Matter,

Violent crime has been falling for decades even as gun ownership in the United States remained high.

Letting leftists dictate law enforcement leads to skyrocketing murder. Where do you suppose letting them dictate economic policy will lead? Let them pass their blowout spending bills and we will soon find out.

The Taliban is remorselessly evil, but unlike Democrats it has at least one thing right:

How did utterly irrelevant Black Lives Matter propaganda get on a wall in Afghanistan? Probably the same way the gay “pride” flag came to fly over our embassy there.

Leftist cultural imperialism financed by US taxpayers was resoundingly rejected by Afghans. This is why Biden was able to turn the country over to the Taliban so effortlessly.

It was scary enough having local governments and a national media establishment that sided with mobs of thugs as they rioted hundreds of times throughout the country, looting at will, destroying whatever they pleased, setting fire to police stations and courthouses. Imagine how frightening it would be to live in a country where these very thugs directly run the government.

Mark and Patricia McCloskey don’t have to imagine. After Black Lives Matter rioters broke through a gate to enter their private community, the McCloskeys prevented their home from being torched by standing on their own property with the firearms that it is their constitutional right to bear. For this, they were prosecuted by St Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner, a leftist installed in power by George Soros.

Marxists have not finished consolidating power; Missouri still has an American governor. Mike Parson pardoned the McCloskeys, as any sane governor would have done.

Among the mob that menaced the McCloskeys was BLM activist Cori Bush. Appallingly, she is now a sitting member of the House of Representatives (D-MO). Enraged that her victims appear to have escaped further persecution, she issues public threats:

Our Democrat rulers include some of the same lowlifes who caused over $2 billion in damage rioting in the name of a career criminal last year. This explains Democrat spending policy, which bears a striking resemblance to a Black Lives Matter mob stripping the shelves bare at Target.

The USA will become a Third World dictatorship in the foreseeable future if we do not reverse course dramatically. Mark McCloskey’s election to the Senate would be a step in the right direction.

The Wi Spa in Los Angeles, where a woman showed the rare courage to object to a guy exposing himself in a private women’s area, became a theater after Christians protested its depraved LGBT-compliant policies and Antifa types assaulted them.

The leftists who control the media and academia will go to any extreme to whitewash Black Lives Matter. Check out this gem of a headline:

The Experts have discovered that closely packed mobs of sociopaths looting local businesses, setting fire to police stations, and tearing down statues of our Founding Fathers actually promote public health. Here’s how they figure it:

The researchers found that protests correlated with a net increase in overall stay-at-home behavior in cities where they occurred — and the increase was larger in cities that saw more sustained protests or reports of violence.

Who is going to go out and about when mobs of vicious savages have been allowed to run riot?

University of Colorado Denver professor Andrew Friedson and the other researchers did not investigate whether the hooligans spread Covid among each other, focusing instead on overall transmission rates. Their study came out without peer review, but that doesn’t matter, so long as it reached the politically correct conclusion that Black Lives Matter riots combat Covid.

Friedson says the findings should help inform “decision-making processes.” They have confirmed that local Democrat authorities acted wisely by allowing and even encouraging the riots to occur. But that doesn’t mean every activity should be permitted:

Friedson said there is one last important thing to keep in mind about this study: It’s not a green light for governments to fully reopen bars, concert venues and other places where people gather in large numbers. …

“An outdoor wedding doesn’t generate avoidance behavior; we’re measuring avoidance behavior,” Friedson said. “People don’t say, ‘Oh man, there’s an outdoor wedding next door, we should stay home.’”

However, the Experts might approve of an outdoor wedding if instead of a bouquet the bride tosses out live hand grenades. That way it would generate avoidance behavior, like a Black Lives Matter mob.
