This is the hardest thing I have written.

I grew up in a law enforcement family. My father worked his way up to the rank to Captain at the Ft. Smith, Arkansas Police Department. As I kid I remember going with him on Friday to pick up his check and I was in awe of these super heroes he worked around.

They were funny and fun to be around. Men and women of all races all with the same mission, to make the community safer.  After college, I was proud to become a police officer myself.  27 years has passed and if you would have told me the condition of law enforcement today, I would have never believed you.

It’s not that law enforcement has changed for the worse but everything around it has.  This why we are leaving, America.  You’ll soon be on your own.

This is the opening narration of an episode of The Twilight Zone in 1961, written by Rod Serling.  It was called "The Obsolete Man."  Indeed.  He knew the left's mantra: "Logic is an enemy and truth is a menace."

Watching it today is a stark reminder that what we Americans are experiencing, the violence that is tormenting Democrat-run cities throughout America, is not particularly new.  The totalitarian left has forever been trying to eliminate those of us who rage against the dying of the light.

Serling was beyond prescient when he wrote the screenplay for this episode.  He was a true visionary.  He somehow envisioned the future we now inhabit — an era in which those who "have a mind" are deemed obsolete.

If Donald J. Trump is re-elected to a second term as president, will that victory finally be enough to break the back of a military and policy “elite” who have surrendered to the anti-American mobs and the Democrat Party who made them possible?

It’s a good question.  Here’s more.

Who does our military serve?

Are they subordinated to some ineffable “conventional wisdom” about justice and racial harmony? Do they march to the beat of a “politically correct” agenda defined by the organizations like Black Lives Matter, Antifa, or to the nostrums of ivy league grandees?

Or are they under the command of the citizen America elects to hold the rank of their commander-in-chief?

It’s certainly frustrating to watch a pack of reeking leftist scumbags declare a portion of an American city an “autonomous zone” – what is it with Democrats and their secession fetish? – but do not get frustrated because Donald Trump has not sent the 101st Airborne in to powerwash the human grunge from Seattle’s feces-bedecked streets.

That’s what the Democrats want. And Trump – a better strategic thinker than all the media geniuses, hack politicians, and Afghan War-losing generals who cry about him – is not only not going to give them the victory they crave. He’s going to jam their cheesy plan down their throats.

The libs’ plan to win in November corresponds to Trump’s plan to crush them yet again. Here’s how and here’s why.  You’re going to enjoy this.

When I see the images from Lafayette Square on Monday night (6/22) I keep wondering, where are the conservative leaders who have said so much and done so little to defend our history?

It was a multi-ethnic group of working class DC cops who stood guard protecting Andy Jackson’s statue, their facemasks flecked with the spittle from woke white women. Being taunted by woke white men with man buns. And getting called a traitor to their race.

What I want to see right now more than anything is elected officials and community leaders who are willing and ready to link arms with these cops and physically take part in cleaning up this mess and defying the mob.

Due process is not the strong suit of mobs. Neither is nuance, open discussion, or disagreement.

These inherent defects should be painfully obvious as mobs pull down statues, seize sections of cities, and demand the public approach them on bended knee, literally. Anyone who dares push back, perhaps with a mild tweet saying “All lives matter,” faces immediate censure.

In this perilous environment, the most frenzied voices do more than dominate the public square. They monopolize it by silencing dissent. They have received full-throated support from the tech giants that control electronic discussion and the media giants determined to shape the narrative rather than report the news.

The “thought police” are on patrol and ever-vigilant, twirling the twin batons of guilt and moral superiority.  They need to be defunded.

When something cannot go on, it certainly will not go on. But what are the symptoms of what cannot go on and when?

There are two historic red lines and our revolution is getting close to both.

When Normal People Grow Weary 

One is when “average” people, both white and nonwhite, who identify neither with Left nor Right, woke nor unwoke, become frightened or appalled by the violence and the anarchy—and thus finally move to dismantle the guillotine as the razor increasingly starts haircutting friends, idols, and compatriots.

Their verdict can be known either by demonstrating themselves, boycotting, voting, or massive civil disobedience. At some point, tonight’s looting rioting hero on on CNN, becomes tomorrow’s commonplace, unnoticed felon.

Among the most durable of those institutions is what some call “the great American city.” America’s cities are indeed a wonder—built quickly from nearly nothing across a vast continent into a unique story of social and economic success.

We may now be on the cusp of a great reordering of the nation’s population as many people decide it is time to separate themselves and their families from the social, political and moral turbulence of this country’s large Democrat-controlled urban areas.

People with all sorts of political beliefs are going to get out because they are watching Democrat-controlled city after city reach a tipping point of social disorder and political disorganization.

In the past three months it has become clear that modern urban Democrat progressivism is politically incompetent and intellectually incoherent.
