Worries have sprouted about the potential for violent protests at the Democrat National Convention in Chicago, Illinois, in August on the heels of a violent pro-Palestinian demonstration at the Democrat National Committee (DNC) in Washington, DC, on Wednesday night, according to a report. After a meeting with the Chicago Police Department (CPD) on Thursday surrounding the convention, Mayor Brandon Johnson’s (D) Chief of Staff Rich Guidice told Politico that CPD is getting ready in the case of similar occurrences next summer. “We have to anticipate that there’s a lot of tension and very passionate positions,” chief of staff Guidice told the outlet. “There’s ongoing training already taking place, specifically in

2024 is going to be a lot like 1968 starting with Biden looking bad in New Hampshire to riots in Chicago, to a 3rd party run and who knows what misfortune may befall RFK Jr since Biden has denied him Secret Service protection- the petty old man that he is.

Well if there is anyplace on earth that deserves to have violent protests it is the DNC Convention. In fact one would think they would enjoy wallowing in the middle of the cesspool of their own creation.

Well, I certainly HOPE and PRAY that today's Democratic Party is bedeviled by endless and escalating protests and demonstrations of EVERY nature from here on out to the 2024 Referendum. It will be GOOD to see a tortured and broken Democrat Party splitting itself asunder into criminal, politically correct and DEI-stained fragments over what they have done to this nation. A climate of indulgence, hyper-tolerance, political opportunism, criminality and moral ambiguity seems to have bred the greatest collection of self-serving professional liars, thieves, mental and moral defectives and incompetents in the long history of this great nation. The Democrat hierarchy, with the help of a good portion of the RINO contingent, has LIED, CHEATED and STOLEN almost everything they can possibly loot from the faith, goodwill and pockets of the American people. They have broken our homes and lives, and damaged our children, possibly beyond repair. They have done their best to shred the social fabric and the economy of our country and profit from the damage and waste. What they have done even to the faithful and blindly trusting souls among their own traditional demographic base is a crime beyond pardon. The faithful descendants of many good, true and, I believe, truly patriotic American Democrats, who lived, fought and died for this country along with all of the others who passed the same way, have been conned and sold out to foreign and criminal ideologies. I don't believe that thousands, to millions, of solid Americans, including veterans, even if they may happen to think of themselves as Democrats, have suddenly wedded themselves to evil, bankrupt Marxist doctrine and turned against their homeland. I believe that the coming political storm will jar many from their trusting slumber, leading to anger, fear and calls for retribution. It is likely to be very painful, but only righteous, to see the payback if it spills into the streets when the blinders have truly come off and the Piper comes around for his pay. At the same time, no one should have to be reminded of the wisdom of taking some appropriate preparations for your life and loved ones.

As my sainted mother used to say, "You reap what you sow." The Dems have created a monster that uses violence to get what they want. Chicago is not going to benefit from this convention - it will drain them dry of resources with little or no gain.

The democrats deserve every bit of the mayhem coming to them after they have allowed their golden children to run amock since 2016 when they lost the last legitimate election in this country. The only question is how long will it last before they order the police and National Guard to use deadly force against the human trash that will be shouting, burning, carrying signs and throwing rocks at them.

President Donald Trump released a fiery statement on his Truth Social platform on Friday. This comes after his abrupt walkout from the New York City courtroom, where the E. Jean Carroll defamation case is being heard. The case took an unexpected turn when Judge Lewis Kaplan, a Clinton appointee, reportedly threatened Trump’s attorney, Alina Habba, with jail time and denied a request to refute sexual abuse allegations. The courtroom witnessed tense moments earlier. Judge Kaplan mandated silence, stating, “No interruptions, no audible comments,” following some objections, presumably from Trump’s legal team.

Chaos erupted at the E. Jean Carroll defamation trial on Friday when Donald Trump stormed out of court and the judge warned his lawyer Alina Habba she was close to 'spending time in lockup'. The former president, 77, dramatically walked out when Carroll's lawyer said the jury should punish Trump, claiming 'he thinks the rules don't apply to him,' and asking for damages of at least $24 million. After Trump left senior U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan said: 'The record will reflect that Mr. Trump just rose and walked out of the courtroom.'

Over half of America's governors are backing Texas' Greg Abbott in his bitter standoff with President Joe Biden over who should have the authority to apprehend migrants at the border. Abbott reasserted the state's right to protect its own border after the Supreme Court ruled the Biden administration could take down razor wire Texas had installed along high-traffic areas of the border. Meanwhile Texas Border Czar Mike Banks told ranchers Wednesday the state could install razor wire on their private property free of charge, the state official told a packed room of ranchers who met just outside of Eagle Pass, Texas. Abbott said the federal government failed at its duty

I was going to avoid commenting on the Fani Willis comedy routine playing in Atlanta. But after the last week’s events, I’m busting at the seams with snark. So here goes. The Atlanta district attorney, Fani Willis, decided to play superhero in her own performance art production to rescue the Dems from their disastrous decision to let gropey Joe lead the party. She figured she could clear the field for Joe by indicting Donald Trump, and 18 others, on federal racketeering charges. It seems that the Donald did the same thing that every losing Democrat since Al Gore has done: he questioned the vote-counting.

I am reminded of an important lesson I received as a kid, when a friend of my father spent weeks trying to help my dad figure out what was wrong with our family car. For weeks on Saturdays, I would watch these two inexperienced men attempt to fix a jammed motor. My dad would pay his friend for the help, but it wasn’t until later that a real mechanic informed my dad someone had poured syrup into the gas tank, which caused sugar to expand within the pistons of the engine, thereby disabling our already old VW station wagon. The culprit was my dad’s friend.

Donald Trump will be allowed to stay on the 2024 primary ballot in Maine until the Supreme Court rules on a similar case in Colorado. The state's top court declined getting involved in an appeal to keep the ex-president off the ticket, and now leaves the case's fate with the nation's highest court. Democratic Secretary of State Shenna Bellows concluded that Trump didn't meet ballot qualifications under the insurrection clause in the Constitution.But a judge put that decision on hold pending the Supreme Court's decision on the similar case in Colorado. In a unanimous decision on Wednesday, the Maine Supreme Judicial Court dismissed Bellows' appeal of the order requiring her

Joe Biden, or more likely his handlers, levied an ultimatum on Thursday, demanding that Gov. Greg Abbott relinquish control of the "disputed" border areas Texas has been securing. That came after 25 states joined together to pledge their support to Abbott as he battles the federal government and its refusal to enforce immigration laws. The date for the demand is set for Friday, January 26th, with the Biden administration saying it wants full access to Shelby Park, a boat launch, and the international bridge.

Donald Trump has demanded Fani Willis be disqualified from his Georgia election fraud case after she 'injected race' into the case, and called for the charges against him be dropped. The former president's co-defendant Michael Roman alleged in court filings that Willis had an inappropriate relationship with Nathan Wade, the lawyer she hired to help run the criminal case. The bombshell court document has led to a flurry of allegations, including Wade buying flights and cruises for Willis as they carried on their fling.

On Wednesday, Representative Joaquin Castro (D-TX) called on President Biden to "seize" the Texas National Guard by calling them into Federal service, removing them from the command and control of the State of Texas. This is presumably in response to Texas Governor Greg Abbott's defiant tone towards the Biden Administration on closing the border. A Texas congressman has urged President Biden to take the state's National Guard under federal control if Republican Governor Greg Abbott defies a Supreme Court ruling allowing federal agents to remove razor wire from a section of the U.S.-Mexico border.
