PJ Media: The common thread among all these cities is that they have been in the thrall of Democrats for a very, very long time. When violence erupts like it did last summer, having a bunch of rabid ideologues in charge — no matter what side they’re on — is never the answer. The room is in need of some adults once chaos waltzes in.

“knowing this: that the law is not made for a righteous person, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and for sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers.” 1 Tim 1:9

The surreal part, of course, was how the Democrats in Congress reacted to the unrest. Rather than side with law and order, they fully embraced the Marxist lunacy of the Black Lives Matter movement. To be sure, they were almost all the way to a full embrace prior to last summer, but they hadn’t gone in for the deep hug yet. In doing so, they outed themselves as the cop-haters that they’ve been for some time now.

As the Democrats in Congress go, so goes the American mainstream media. The MSM immediately got to work on one of the most ambitious propaganda initiatives I’ve seen in over 20 years of writing about liberal media bias. We were repeatedly assured that the protests were mostly peaceful by “reporters” who were passing along these assurances while on camera and standing in front of burning buildings. There are times when I truly believe that the coastal bubble media elites think that no one in flyover country has cable or the internet.

The outcome of all of this violence was that the pinko idiots who run these cities decided that they should follow BLM’s lead in everything and kneecap law enforcement so all of the “peaceful protests” could continue unabated and ad infinitum. Read More

PJ Media: On May 16, President Biden issued a brief video ostensibly dedicated to expressing his support for the religious freedom of “all” people (though in reality dedicated to only one religious group):

“ If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.” John 15:19

All people should be able to practice their faith with dignity, without fear of harassment or violence. We will defend the right of all, as we stand with you. That’s why I ended this shameful Muslim travel ban. And that’s why this administration will speak out for religious freedom for all people, including Uighurs in China and Rohingya in Burma.  We also believe Palestinians and Israelis equally deserve to live in safety and security and enjoy equal measure of freedom, prosperity, and democracy. My administration is going to continue to engage Palestinians and Israelis and other regional partners to work toward sustained calm.

It is hypocritical for Biden to claim that he cares about the religious rights of “all” people — when he clearly means only “all Muslims.”  So, too, is it vexing to note that, unlike those whom he totally ignores — for example, the hundreds of millions of Christians currently being persecuted at the hands of Muslims — those Muslims whom he does mention as deserving protection are not exactly innocent.

PJ Media: President Donald Trump warned you. In the name of equity and inclusion, the Biden administration is making moves that target the suburbs with federal regulation. It will pull zoning decisions away from city councils through the federal government’s typical mechanism to impose its will where it has no business intruding in our layered federalist system.

So, the Biden administration wants people to move from apartments in dense urban areas to apartments in neighborhoods in the suburbs. Not apartments in suburban towns, which often have a decent selection of apartments and townhomes for rent. The administration wants apartment buildings in developments zoned for single-family homes. They will use grants and tax credits as the carrot and eventually pull highway funds through the Booker Amendment as a stick. Read More
