Republicans Lead NV Senate Race, FBI Missed NYC Shooter, Pathetic Start for CNN+

21
Hosted by Greg Corombos & Jim Geraghty

Join Jim and Greg as they break down the latest polling on the Senate race in Nevada which has Republican Adam Laxalt ahead of incumbent Democrat Catherine Cortez Masto. They also shake their heads in response to news that Frank James, the suspect in the subway shooting in Brooklyn, was on the FBI’s radar as recently as 2019. This incident is only the latest in a string of cases where the perpetrator was known to the agency before they committed violent actions. And after two weeks, it is obvious that CNN+, CNN’s new premium streaming service, is a pathetic failure with an average viewership of only 10,000 viewers a day.

All three are black.  Two men and one […]

The Scam That Was BLM

I don’t know about you, but the first time I heard the slogan “Black Lives Matter” I thought it was, well … curious. Whoever said otherwise these days? Wasn’t that obvious?

I soon discovered the depths of my naïveté. The tip-off was realizing that “All Lives Matter” was not a more inclusive iteration of the same concept, but its opposite – racist fighting words. People were vilified and fired for saying them.

It turned out that BLM was a “social justice” organization focused primarily on “intervening in violence inflicted on black communities by the state and vigilantes,” i.e., police.

And in other news, the War Zone Cesspit of Seattle/Tacoma continues to produce tales of woe, mostly caused by the political policies of the Far Left who run most cities around here.  They have favored criminals over victims, homeless over taxpaying citizens, and teachers unions over parents for decades.  Here is what those policies have wrought.

Two sheriff’s deputies in grave condition after shooting in Spanaway (suburb south of Tacoma).

I see the world as it is. This is another rerun. I’m a basic guy. I’m not a policy wonk. I wasn’t Ivy League material although I did benefit from a classical Catholic education. I hope the reader gets some insight into police work from my essays but giving someone the full experience is rather difficult.

Conflict Resolution on the Streets

Confliction resolution on the streets as a police officer can be as simple as negotiating with two or more individuals to resolve a conflict, or the “we mean business” by racking the first round in a shotgun. I’ve done it both ways.

I’ll admit that I can be acerbic and sarcastic. My sense of humor is not always appreciated. I’m fully responsible for my own failings. I would be remiss if I didn’t thank the individuals that I met on the streets for honing my acerbic, sarcastic sense of humor.
