When Might Makes Right

 As the long hot summer, made even hotter by the violence 

ravaging many of our cities mercifully winds down, the tide 

is beginning to turn in the direction of order and safety

with the actions taken by President Trump offering to send

federal troops to the afflicted cities, some of whose mayors 

having (after initially strenuously refusing) accepted his offer.

After recent rioting and destruction in Kenosha, a small city

in my home state of Wisconsin, over the shooting by local 

police of a black crime suspect who lunged into his car

(perhaps to get a weapon? The matter is under investigation

as your faithful Peasant types this post) using seven bullets

to bring him down, city officials begged Gov. Tony Evers to

send the state's National Guard troops to aid in the quelling 

of the mayhem; asking for 750 troops, Gov. Evers sent just

150. After pleading for more troops, Evers sent another 100 

troops; still not enough to get the job done. All the while,

Evers tried his damndest to publicly downplay the situation

and its seriousness. Meanwhile in Portland, Oregon, where

there were riots for almost 100 consecutive days (!), that 

state's governor, no conservative by any stretch, allowed 

for the federal deputizing of Portland's police so that they

could make federal charges stick to those whom they would 

arrest. And this strategy has proved effective in reducing

the violence in that torn and tattered city.

President Trump, upon learning of the trouble while making 

public safety a central theme of his campaign for re-election,

planned a visit to Kenosha to view the carnage and visit the

people who lost businesses and other property, city officials,

and law enforcement officials. Gov. Evers and Kenosha Mayor

John Antaramian, both Democrats, wrote to President Trump

asking him not to come to Kenosha due to their worries of

"exacerbating tensions" in that city. Big joke; they seemed to 

have no problem with the tensions which boiled over into 

rage, followed by full-blown violence after the shooting of

the aforementioned crime suspect. They seemed rather hesitant 

to have the National Guard come to help. But they didn't want

the president to come to town to assess the aftermath and 

offer $1 million to Kenosha law enforcement, $4 million to 

aid small businesses with their losses, and $2 million to aid 

public safety in Wisconsin? 

Here, politics played a key role: both the Democrat governor and

mayor didn't want the Republican president to come to town

just two months out from the election, and with the latter 

gaining momentum in polls around the country, largely because

of his open support for the restoration of good old fashioned 

law and order as opposed to left-wing Democrat mayors and

governors refusing to publicly acknowledge the bloody out-

breaks for what they are. And with President Trump having 

won the Badger State four years earlier, Evers and Antaramian 

didn't want to risk having a presidential appearance tilt this 

Battleground state toward the GOP again. However, this 

time they are likely too late to stem that particular tide.

The American people want these few, simple, yet important

things from their government, especially from their president:

A strong economy with many jobs and few (and low!) taxes; 

Strong, effective defense of our shores, and strong, effective

preservation of law, order, and safety. They know that they can

rely on President Trump to deliver these goods, whereas they

are leery of former Vice President Joe Biden's willingness and

ability to do likewise if elected. And this sentiment holds for

their respective political parties as well. Additionally, the 

Lamestream Media has been unable to sway enough voters 

to support their candidate Biden, and this is likely to affect

the Democrat Party down their ticket as well. 

The Dems certainly haven't learned from history, especially

their own. In 1968, riots over the Vietnam War and urban

poverty broke out in Chicago during the Democrats' conven-

tion there; this made many Americans, Democrat voters as 

well, rethink voting Democratic that year, resulting in 

Republican Richard Nixon's election over Democrat Hubert

Humphrey. Message to the Dems: It's about law, order, and

public safety, stupid! And the one thing, and likely only

thing that these radical left-wing thugs understand is the 

presence of well-armed police and national guardsmen

with the means to subdue them coupled with the will to 

do so.

Gee, your confident Peasant can't wait for November.
