Early Saturday morning a kook, dressed as a cop in a mask and driving a car made to resemble a police car, walked up to a house in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, rang the doorbell and when State Rep Melissa Hortman answered he shot her, her husband and their Golden Retriever killing all three. Yes, I do consider a Golden Retriever a person. The culprit then drove to the home of State Senator John Hoffman, rang the bell, and when answered pumped nine bullets into him and 8 into his wife. The cops showed up, the killer ran back into the house and out the backdoor eluding capture. The manhunt took 36 hours until they caught Vance Boelter in a farm field 3 miles from his house. Good job to the law enforcement of Minnesota.
Who is this guy? The Magats jumped immediately, blaming the killings on the fact there was a vote on healthcare for undocumented people and one of the two voted to take it away. This "proves" a Democrat killed one of their own for that vote. The killer was an appointee to a meaningless board of businessmen by Gov Tim Walz, thus "proving" he was a Democrat. Blah blah blah. Same old shit. Jan 6ers were feds, Antifa, or FBI. Trumps attempted assassin was a "radical left lunatic". The gaslighting never stops with these people. A sitting United States Senator, Mike Lee (R-Utah), posted two tweets mocking the killings on some weird ass twitter account while at the same time condemning it on his official Senate account. The guy is not well and hasn't been for years.
Look, it's common knowledge that Vance Boelter is a right wing nutjob. Ranting about abortion and illicit sex, loved Trump and had a hit list of 70 Democrats in various states in the Midwest, all pro-choice. This isn't that hard. I am not blaming MAGAts. I'm blaming Vance Boelter who just happens to be MAGA. Much like I'm not blaming the left for Luigi Mangione. I'm blaming Luigi Mangione. People are individuals, associated with various groups and political views, and certainly may be radicalized by bad actors, but in the end, it's on the killers. Nobody is going to indict Trump for the killing, though Mike Lee might be looked at. Ha who am I kidding, like Patel's FBI would ever do that. This is one sick society we live in. And its only gonna get worse as long as the bull in the china shop is still there.
Trump's lil 79th birthday "perade", held in DC and featuring a not so happy military presence. Out of step marching (many vets say it was on purpose), squeaky tanks, a guy holding a drone, guys sweating to death in Revolutionary War uniforms, more squeaky tanks, and yawning politicians. The crowd was small, empty stands, empty fields and less than enthusiastic troops. Happy Birthday Donnie. $65 million for an ego stroke. But anyway, congrats on 250 years to the United States Army, which my old man served in fighting Nazis 1941-1946. As far as 79th birthdays go, congrats Donnie, it's amazing the Big Macs haven't done a number on you yet.
No Kings protests took place in all 50 states. They were violence free other than MAGAts showing up at a couple of protests with guns and causing trouble. A man was killed in SLC by a volunteer security person firing madly at a guy with a rifle/ So much for volunteer security. The protest here in Omaha took place across the river in Council Bluffs, Iowa. This was done in deference to the College World Series, taking place in Omaha. We were there. It was too hot for human existence and being age challenged, we left after 90 minutes or so. I despise Trump, but I won't let the disdain kill me.
In Los Angeles, the protests were peaceful, confined to a two-block radius, and then came the sheriffs on horses playing Wyatt Earp and beating on people, shooting tear gas and causing trouble. Why is it ALWAYS the county sheriffs starting the trouble? They did it here in 2020 by charging people sitting down in the street and beating them up and they did it in LA over the weekend. Sheriffs. Man, why not try and become real cops instead of bitter bullies with power? There is open warfare here in Omaha as the Omaha Police Department has warned the Douglas County Sheriff's Department to stay in their own lane. Seems like our Sheriff, a short little man always dressed in tactical gear, can't mind his own business. They came into Omaha and killed a kid, they participated in the ICE raids, and they are always willing to stick their nose in business they don't belong. The OPD has had enough.
Who hasn't had enough? Trump got his "perade", the protests were massive, and Trump is pissed. So, before even condemning the Minnesota murders, he sent a lengthy insane Truth Social post where he declared war on Blue America. Trump and his ICE thugs will invade LA, Chicago, New York and any other blue city he feels like invading. He wants violence, he wants death, he wants to invoke the insurrection act so he can unleash the American military on its citizens. Trump is a despicable 79-year-old despot out for revenge because he's never been accepted into celebrity society he so longs for. If we let him get away with it, we shall be sorry.
Resist. Never Stop. Our country is at stake.
