COMMENT: Mr. Armstrong, I’ve learn your weblog as a Democrat as a result of I assumed you appeared to be within the center, but not all the time. I grew up a Democrat, I suppose, as you probably did. I didn’t have the chance to shake the hand of JFK as you probably did in 1960. I’ve grown up in Los Angeles and lived right here my complete life. I’m chucking up the sponge. I’ll by no means vote for a Democrat ever once more. Our mayor, Karen Bass, is a shame. She was not right here for the wildfires kissing up in Ghana. He was pro-Castro, and I believe she used to go to Cuba in her youthful days. She has supported the rioters solely to take the alternative place of Trump, and has seen looting and fires all over the place. She has misplaced the help of most individuals I speak to, together with the police. You might be right. The Democrats are taking positions simply to be reverse of Trump, even when it is mindless.

REPLY: The polarization in politics is destroying the Democratic Social gathering because it did to the Federalists in the course of the early 1800s. They take positions simply reverse of Republicans. You had Joe Biden promoting off the fabric for the wall simply so Trump couldn’t use it, and let the flood of unlawful immigrants pour into the nation.
Karen Bass is a shame. She inspired these rights by supporting the rioters in opposition to her personal police. She stated she was “deeply angered” about raids searching for unlawful immigrants. She blamed legislation enforcement, claiming they have been making an attempt to “sow terror in our communities,” and her feedback have been so outrageous that she blamed Trump and enforcement officers for the violence.
She was really Joe Biden’s first selection for Vice President within the 2020 election, the place, in the event you have been white or a male, you have been discriminated in opposition to for that place. Then the background examine found that she had visited Communist Cuba a number of instances as a younger lady within the Nineteen Seventies. Then, when Fidel Castro died in 2016, she lamented “an incredible loss to the folks of Cuba,” which I doubt any Cuban in America would have agreed with.
We will see her administration of Los Angeles. Are you able to think about her as President of america? Maybe she’s going to turn out to be the modern-day model of Nero, as they are saying, who performed the fiddle whereas Rome burned.
