The attack in New Orleans, killing and injuring many, was the plot by a terrorist, motivated by one’s hate and disbelief in this country’s freedom.
Unfortunately, recent generations have proven to be one of placing blame, dislike, demand and entitlement, supported by disruption, chaos and destruction. In New Orleans, there is some mention of the police superintendent to resign. My question would be “why?”
Then, let’s be extreme. No more celebrations of any kind such as the Mardi Gras, Thanksgiving Day parades, and other special events on any public property. As a result, no blame can be placed on law enforcement and security officials for hateful acts of others. Civil disobedience (riots in a realistic term) funded by the likes of George Soros (who is receiving the Presidential Medal of Freedom from President Biden) and others influence many of the lives and our government in this country through the use of threats and intimidation to get their mission accomplished.
Many local governments have taken the position of defunding police and restricting the ability to perform its functions. Then, if a Supreme Court ruling is not popular with certain groups, the mission is to locate the home(s) of these justice(s) and protest the justice(s) decision in an attempt to influence a justice(s) decision through fear and intimidation.
Then in New York, the governor wants to impose a $75 billion fine on fossil fuel companies for damage to the climate. I personally believe that the fines will be put toward supporting the illegal migrants in New York for food, health care and housing.
I believe Colorado will be another state in support of imposing fines for alleged climate damage to help fund illegal migrants in Denver that takes pride in being a sanctuary city run only by a person who looks like “Howdy Doody”. While they get free health care, food and housing at the taxpayers’ expense, I have to pay for my food, health care, and housing and watch my Social Security income dwindle as cost-of-living increases beyond the 2.5% the government claims, and is well below reality.
