Flummoxed: adj.; bewildered or perplexed.
I am flummoxed and so is our president. I am perplexed by young people, formally educated and from comfortable backgrounds, storming police stations, burning down central business districts, and imposing on us their warped views by defacing our monuments and memorials. I am further bewildered by a refusal to recognize the most elemental of things: if you don’t enforce the law, there is more law breaking. Our president is equally flummoxed and displays it regularly. He strode into New York City yesterday (2/3/22) and announced that he was going to lead an effort to arrest, wait for it . . . guns! Arrest guns, not the people who use them to commit heinous acts.
Yes, that’s right, President Biden declared a crackdown on inanimate objects. The favorite phrase in vogue among his people is “gun violence”. And they don’t mean violence committed by human beings WITH guns. They mean violence BY guns. It’s as if these metallic things have a mind, a will of their own. They jump from the coffee table to a person’s hand, take over the psyche, and drive the individual to commit horrifying acts with them.
Nary a word about blue-bubble public leaders vilifying the police, robbing their budgets, and refusing to prosecute lawbreakers. Check this out: mobs using phone calculators during smash-and-grabs to guarantee that their thefts don’t exceed $950, thanks to the voters and political establishment of California (Prop 47). And blue-bubble potentates don’t need a Prop 47 to set a baseline for allowable criminality. They’ve got Soros-funded henchmen as DA’s refusing to fulfill their oaths of office to faithfully enforce the laws, and thusly are deserving of impeachment. Sorry, “prosecutorial discretion” doesn’t cut it. This is not discretion; it’s essentially ripping pages out of the duly-passed code of laws.
Our exalted president says not a word about the vastly more significant contributions of his party to the mayhem. Get prepared for a campaign to hamper your ability to own a gun to protect yourself from the lawlessness that they inspired. Mr. President, you should be condemned for not lowering the boom on your party’s abettors of criminality while leaving the rest of us without any means to protect ourselves.
Watch yesterday’s disgusting spectacle on the video below.
