[The Democrats' damage and destruction to America's black population reaches back to ante-bellum years.  In recent decades they have turned their tender mercies for our African-American neighbors onto cynical avenues that have laid waste to black families and the communities in which they live.  Under decades of Democrat rule we can echo the question asked by an enlightened black candidate for Congress – name any city in which life for blacks has improved over the last, say, forty years.  About all this our leftwingers respond with crickets.  Here is a campaign video that spells it out. (H/T to reader)  gjr]

    Kyle Rittenhouse, 17, of Antioch, was charged Wednesday with first-degree intentional homicide in a shooting late Tuesday during a clash between protesters of police brutality and right-wing militia group members.”

    A teenager from Illinois, eh? Sounds like a right wing militia group member to me. Teenagers do the stupidest stuff, as evidenced by David Hogg.
    One should never forget that looting is dangerous. It may cost you your life. I wonder why the mob called the police since their purpose is to get rid of the police and call them unrepeatable names. The great mystery.
    Anyway, I feel sorry for the businesses that were looter and vandalized and torched and personally assaulted and had their inventories destroyed. I bet their business insurance renewal rates skyrocket. The businesses did nothing to deserve this. Nothing. A tragedy. The only silver lining is there is one less criminal looter scum a breathing our air this morning. How many did the child shoot? 3? Only got one out of three? Kids, I tell ya.

    In the Spin Room
    ‘CNN: Riots Must Stop – But Only Because They’re Hurting Biden in Polls’
    “CNN’s Don Lemon said Tuesday night that Democrats “ignoring” riots in some U.S. cities represents a “blind spot” for the party, and called on Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden to address the problem because it is “sticking” in polling and focus groups.
    “It’s showing up in the polling. It’s showing up in focus groups. It is the only thing right now that is sticking,” Lemon said ahead of “CNN Tonight” on Tuesday. “The riots and the protests have become indistinguishable.”
    “I think this is a blind spot for Democrats. I think Democrats are ignoring this problem or hoping that it will go away, and it’s not going to go away,” he added before arguing the violence needs to be addressed by Biden before the election.“

    TRIGGER WARNINGS FOR THE TDS SET –
    Former Vice President Joe Biden lost support after the Democrat National Convention according to a new poll from Rasmussen.
    Biden is now at 46 percent support in the national survey of likely voters conducted by Rasmussen. A week ago, the same poll showed Biden at 48 percent.
    President Donald Trump’s support increased from 44% last week to 45% in the latest poll.
    Rasmussen noted that Biden’s latest showing was his lowest level of support in any of their surveys in 2020.
    https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/08/26/rasmussen-poll-joe-biden-sinks-after-democrat-convention/
    2:59
    President Donald Trump’s approval rating has hit a new high, according to a survey heavy with minority voters,” reports the Washington Examiner.
    For the first time ever in the Zogby Analytics poll, Trump has jumped to 52 percent job approval. Only 47 percent disapprove.
    Trump’s job approval among blacks sits at an impressive 36 percent approve, while 61 percent disapprove. Hispanics approve of the president’s job at a 37 percent rate, compared to 65 percent who disapprove. Asians sit at 35 percent approve, 63 percent disapprove.
    Pollster John Zogby told the Examiner the left-wing rioting — that Joe Biden refuses to condemn, even as people are shot and killed — is helping the president with urban voters.
    “Another factor continuing to help the president’s high approval rating is a rise in crime in our nation’s biggest cities. Unlike a year ago, the president is performing well with voters in large cities. It’s highly likely he is benefiting from the uptick in violence. His law-and-order message is resonating with urban voters at the moment,” he said.

    There’s quite a bit of time left, no telling what the election holds.
    My guess, held by quite a few people, is that the DNC will notice that burning cities and threatening people is a poor marketing concept, so they’ll send orders out to their army to stand down.
    It was too bad for all those business owners, but they’re just collateral damage in the war against Orange Man. A lot of planning goes on in these efforts, so it’ll be interesting to see what they come up with next.

    The governor finally caved (at great political risk) to Trump and is allowing the Feds to come in. They kinda liked the protest/riots.

    This morning I have been struck by the huge National outrage from the Left whenever a “journalist” is shoved, pushed back by police, or arrested in these riots….or anywhere that happens. Yet we see so-called “conservative journalist after journalist beaten, robbed, and accosted covering riots and destruction of the mostly peaceful protestors…. and we get crickets.
    The tweet from a reporter (and college student) from Alpha News and the replies.
    https://twitter.com/KyleHooten2/status/1298814300539289600?
    And, of course, Andy Ngo, and on and on it goes.
    I suppose the best example of crickets and cancelling a reporter via Media Matters is longtime CBS foreign correspondence reporter Lara Logan who also contributed to 60 Minutes, NBC, CNN, etc. Logan was covering the celebrations in the streets of the Arab Spring in Egypt when, on camera, she was thrown to the ground gang raped with flagpoles, hands, and sticks while the peaceful protestors took photos with their cell phones of her naked body being repeatedly violated. Crickets…until she finally appeared on Hannity in March. That was enough to have her, (a veteran MSM journalist) to be cancelled.
    Lara Logan committed two unforgivable sins. First, she went against the Obama-Hillary-MSM Fakenews narrative that contradicted the narrative that the Arab Spring was not a happy peaceful movement for democracy and worse, she went on Hannity. Slander her, she’s a right wing Paul Joseph Goebbels!
    And Trump did not go to war with Saudia Arabia over what happened to a “journalist” working for the Qatar government and paid quite nicely for hits pieces he submitted to the Wa Compost, some written by the Qatar Embassy in Washington DC. Oh, the outrage. A journalist was killed and Trump does nothing!

    This is about the only place you’ll hear this:
    FYI witnesses at the scene report that at least 6 huge luxury motorcoaches arrived, a Chicago limo company. As the buses were letting people out witnesses recognized Miracle Boyd and others from the Chicago protests/riots. This was reported on social media.
    Then the owner of this limo company claimed he was not transporting protesters but transporting “troops like we do every day” however the Wisconsin National Guard responded that they use their own transportation. The Guard does not hire limos or buses from Chicago.
    Then the limo company owner said oops! Meant to say he transported military personnel from Great Lakes. But wouldn’t you know it? A call to Great Lakes naval training center revealed that they had never heard of this Chicago limo company. So who was he transporting to Kenosha and who paid for those 6 motorcoaches? And why was he lying about it?
    Forward this one around.”
