Hit & Run Commentary #144

Washington DC Mayor Muirel Bowser is feigning concern over the violence that could potentially erupt in connection to a rally scheduled to support President Trump while Congress convenes to render a decision regarding the 2020 election. As such, the Mayor is requesting residents stay at home and as a precaution she is calling up the National Guard. If those are her concerns, why didn’t she implement the same decision to protect property against the Antifa and Black Lives Matter upheavals?

Operation Warp Speed, a reference to traveling faster than light from science fiction franchises such as Star Trek, has ground to a screeching halt. At projected rates, it could take until 2031 before the number technocrats deem necessary to achieve herd immunity could be inoculated and thus the human livestock allowed the possibility of once again living free. As a solution, it is being proposed that perhaps subjects could possibly get by with half or even a fourth of a dose. But if that is enough, doesn’t that mean people were being over drugged in the first place?

Juan Williams enunciated criticism of Trump’s tepid response to the shocking occupation of the Capitol building. Perhaps someone should show Williams a tape from 24 hours prior where he hypothesized that the threatening protest outside of a Republican legislator’s home was no big deal.

Interesting Biden had to address the issue of the Capitol being occupied by protesters within hours of the event but said nary a word about Antifa and Black Lives Matter pillaging for months on end.

Biden is concerned about the nation’s children viewing the hooliganism on display at the occupation of the U.S. Capitol. Apparently he had little problem with what the impressionable were soaking in as they watched the non-stop Antifa and Black Lives Matter violence that went on from about May through November and still thereafter with much of it downplayed with next to no condemnation even from many a pulpit claiming to be Evangelical in orientation.

Now was not the time for such vigorous resistance. Should have waited until the establishment of mandatory vaccination centers and proposed Coronavirus death camps.

The occupation of the Capitol was inexcusable. That said, still less property damage than the typical Antifa or Black Lives Matter incursion.

So will numerous pulpits this coming Sunday cry out in unison with homilies counseling how we ought to withhold criticism from the insurgents storming the Capitol and beseeching the Almighty for any slight chance they might have at any time in the past offended a Trump voter?

A number of legislators dropped their objection to the presidential vote in light of the Capitol Hill insurgency. So manipulated terrorism is indeed conductive to achieve political change.

In enacting her curfew edict, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser declared the actions of the insurgents attempting to occupy the Capitol as shameful and unpatriotic. But did she ever as unequivocally condemn the removal of statues an affront to her Afrosupremacist ideology that were no less public property than the Capitol?

Raphael Warnock is from a family of eleven children that grew up in public housing. Apparently most likely as a result of his parents’ lack of self control.

A sign plastered in a number of yards throughout a pervasively leftist suburb reads “Science Is Real”. Yes it is. That is why, just because the clock strikes 10 PM, a pathogen does not become instantaneously more deadly. It is because science is real that a mask with perforations larger than a microbe causing considerable consternation does not really serve as much of a barrier no matter how much citizen snitches and bureaucracies capable of destroying individual lives without flinching might insist otherwise.

Biden insisted that, if Black Lives Matter had been responsible for the Capitol Kerfuffle, the response would have been much more severe. Given that Nancy Pelosi is the Speaker of the House, doesn’t that speak to her own racism and that of the Democrats?

If Trump is morally responsible and should be removed from office over the Capitol Kerfuffle, shouldn’t the likes of Al Sharpton, Don Lemon, and Chris Cuomo be removed from the airwaves for providing ideological comfort to Antifa and Black Lives Matter?

For decades, media elites have admonished that the producers of morally salacious content are not responsible for the reactions these narratives and images evoke in terms of the behavior manifested in the lives of consumers. After all, each person is ultimately responsible for their own decisions. Then why is Trump being blamed for the Capitol Kerfuffle when at no time did he order anyone to destroy public property, physically assault opponents, or crossover into restricted areas?

Biden responded that he was pleased that the outgoing President would not be attending the Inauguration. For that reason alone Trump ought to have changed his mind and shown up anyway.

Arnold Schwarzenegger let it be made known he is aware of Kristallnacht. Too bad he is not as aware apparently of the Reichstag Fire where the rights of an entire nation were eliminated over the action of an alleged single individual.

It has been suggested that roughnecks apprehended in connection to the Capitol Kerfuffle should be sent to Gitmo. Makes you wonder how long until such dissidents are turned into lampshades, bars of soap, and their gold fillings extracted given the fanatic glee in the eye of the aspiring totalitarians.

The mass communication conglomerates feigning shock at the Capitol Kerfuffle are the same ones producing the drama Snowpiercer that glamorizes violent revolutionary resistance.

Powerful media conglomerates are standing by the principle that violence is never a proper response to perceived oppression. As such, does Disney intend to renounce the fortune accumulated as a result of Star Wars and Marvel Cinematic Universe films?

It seems that a galvanizing consensus holds that, while one possesses freedom of speech, one must be held accountable for the repercussions of one’s rhetoric. Apparently that includes responses one did not intend or call for. Applying that sort of logic, a woman that says something and gets slapped by her brute of a husband bears a degree of responsibility for her own abuse.

So instead of Trump simply leaving the White House and passing into history, his enemies have ironically laid the groundwork for him as the central figure of a new religious movement.

In light of the crackdown on controversial expression on social media, those voicing a concern are admonished that they have no right to complain because these services are ultimately private enterprise. Conversely, it can just as legitimately be said that these businesses have no right to cry the blues if they lose a fortune over abandoning these customers.

Scores upon scores of conservatives are outraged over social media’s removal of President Trump along with numerous examples of their ideological kinsmen nowhere as prominent. But how is this selective respecting of speech different than what has taken place on the allegedly conservative news site FreeRepublic for nearly two decades now? At that webpage, you don’t even get the decency of the non-answer of your post violating some undefined “community standard”. On that particular forum, you just find that you are no longer able to post. You are pretty much left to sleuth on your own which of your posts constipated someone with a crossways turd or an associate you also know offsite can attempt to explain what asinine unwritten rule you were never told about beforehand you might have violated.

Interesting. Congressional Democrats applaud the deployment of the National Guard to protect the Capitol but oppose such to protect the border, businesses besieged by looters, or even other federal assets throughout DC.

Biden is demanding that the nation come together in unity. At this point, all that he should expect is for people to mind their own business and keep their hands off of other people’s stuff.

A reporter gushed that Biden is embracing America with his arms. We best watch out. The next step will no doubt be sniffing our hair.
