Wow,  not just you John, but some of you folks really don't know how to react to political cartoons.

 

I guess i will have to start adding a little grade school primer when I post one.

The problem with this is some people believe it for real. It’s sad to say that it can’t just be taken as a cartoon.

Okay, here we go.

 

The POINT of the cartoon  was that before Left wing extremists were anti-government and now they are just the opposite.

 

"paying taxes" has nothing to do with the cartoon subject 

 

They could just as easily said "saluting the flag' or "supporting the military"

 

See.

Consequences of Leftist protests.

 

 

BLUE CITY BLUES: 

Portland’s Multnomah County lost $1 BILLION from 2020-2021, as high earners left city amid riots, pandemic.

 

According to an analysis of data from the Internal Revenue Service by The Oregonian from income tax returns filed in 2020 and 2021, Multnomah County lost a net 14,257 tax filers and their dependents, many of whom were high earners who could do jobs remotely, resulting in a net income loss of over $1 billion.

 

The outlet reported that the average income of those who left in 2020, the most recent year available, was 14 percent higher than those who moved the previous year, yet the average income of those who remained in or moved to the county declined during the same time frame.

 

The golden geese are deciding to leave before they can be gutted.

The Left’s ‘stormtroopers’ are at it again 

 


A Portland jury found two members of the Rose City Antifa not guilty on civil charges for their alleged roles in several attacks on journalist Andy Ngo.

 

The case was overseen by Judge Champone P. Sinlapasai, who found three alleged Antifa members – Corbyn Katherine Belyea, Madison Lee Allen, and Joseph Christian Evans  – “in default” and will hold them liable for damages.

 

Defendants John Colin Hacker and Elizabeth Renee Richter, who had discussed Ngo’s assaults online, faced a trial by jury. 

 

Media coverage of the trial was restricted by Sinlapasai, who only allowed photography during the proceedings. The judge said the restrictions were enacted after threats of violence and doxing were levied against members of the jury.

Doxing and threats!  Because the Left is committed to democracy.  As long as they make all the rules.

With few people entering law enforcement and those in it retiring early, this is going to be a catastrophe.

Banning” Books… Again

 

Twice in 2022 I wrote about banning books (here and here), but the recent hysteria over books that are being pushed by the LGBTQ community, and others, along with an FB post by a friend of mine brought the matter back to mind. As with so many issues these days, the left has taken a word and twisted it until they find a definition and use that suits their needs. Just as the government and its cronies created Newspeak in Orwell’s 1984, so the progressive left is creating their own version of newspeak. My friend walked into a Barnes and Noble to be faced with the display shown below. Now, yes, the signs under the books say “Challenged” which is indeed accurate. But notice the display sign – that says “Banned Books.” Whether this is a marketing ploy (likely), or not, someone at B&N is engaged in some serious misdirection and propagandizing.

Again, none of the books were banned. Their appropriateness for certain age groups was challenged. And virtually every one was challenged over sex. Gotta wonder why school administrators would be surprised that parents who want their children to learn about math and not *****, about social studies and not social perversions, about history and not his/her/their pronouns, about trans Atlantic treaties and not Trans insanity, would question their literary choices.”

 

(She’s exactly right.)

 

Banning a book means making it impossible for anybody to purchase or read. It is an order by the government that under pain of sanctions, no bookstore may sell, no library may hold, and no citizen may own a copy of whatever book some totalitarian curmudgeon has decided is bad for society, morals, character, whatever. And, yes, that has happened in the past. The U.S. government, via regulatory bodies, and via Congress has attempted to ban different books at different times. The most recent actual, government imposed banning was a book, one book, in 2010 that was deemed to be releasing classified DoD material (the Wikipedia citation is here). And once the problematic information was redacted, the book was re-released. So, not banned. Other than that, which occurred thirteen years ago, the government has not banned any books.

 

Challenging a book is entirely different. What has happened recently is that various groups of parents and school boards have challenged the placement of certain books in school libraries claiming those books are not age-appropriate for the students at that school. For example, a few years ago, one of the supposed “bannings” happened with Maus, the Holocaust graphic novel. It does have some dark and graphic themes and illustrations that really aren’t suitable for five- to eleven-year-old children. There are other ways to introduce young kids to the history of the Holocaust. And indeed, in that particular case, the book was… wait for it… moved to the library at the high school. How is that banning a book? Please, enlighten me.
