ABC and its Disney corporate relationship are having their problems these days, but I'm not really the person to speak about such things as Disney facilities becoming too expensive for family vacations, or how the company is apparently strangling to death on its insistence to convert almost everything it touches into something LBGTQ-ish or just plain "woke."
Nor do I comprehend how an alleged network news division can spend precious minutes attacking Donald Trump night after day after night while uttering barely a word about the Biden family and frighteningly real possibilities that our President may have compromised national security in return for big money from foreign enemies -- thereby putting the word, treason in full play. Foul play.
Aside from that, ABC -- and they aren't alone, of course, as members of the leftist media fraternity -- seems to have a propensity for swooning over terrible things happening to black people whose own actions were actually the impetus for disasters embracing them as a result. To lighten this up, it's as if news directors choose stories which automatically send a bat signal into a murky evening sky to alert and summon attorney Benjamin Crump to another case worth millions of dollars.
Such is an incident in Ohio reported this week, when a black trucker driving a huge vehicle refused to stop when police officers attempted to pull him over for a missing mud flap during the day. His refusal to stop and pull over (twice) allegedly escalated to the point where cops were forced to use stop sticks to puncture his tires.
Once apprehended and put into custody on the ground, an officer in control of a dog was reportedly told several times NOT to release the canine -- yet, did so anyway (whether the officer heard the demand not to do so may be in contention at the moment). The dog viciously attacked the suspect, seriously injuring his arm.
Terrible? Unforgivable? Police misconduct? Well, it doesn't sound good, and we suspect Ohio better prepare to cough up a significant amount of money which. . .
- - -in my opinion, should remain in the bank with not a penny given to the perp after his medical situation is alleviated by any means necessary. If I, Mr. White Guy, refused to follow a lawful order as I was tooling down the highway with enough truck to kill lots of people and create tons of damage, I wouldn't expect things to go well at the end of the line.
Yet, thanks to all the chaos caused by one man's refusal to follow a lawful order, we end up with high emotions, heightened tensions and a dog on site which would not have been there at all, save for the actions of a lawbreaker who, in this instance, happened to be black and news-ready for the leftist race-baiting media. No, the dog should not have been released -- and no, the human reason for all the trouble in the first place should not have attempted to escape. After all, a runaway truck could conceal a host of dangerous weapons, drugs or human cargo.
Because I have no dog (sorry, not to be rude) in this fight, I'll raise the recurring question regarding such incidents: Would ABC or co-conspiring leftist networks be as quick to bring this story to public attention if the driver were white? We so tire of story after story where death or injury to the suspect is directly a result of their causing chaos in the first place. Juries need to think twice and thrice before demanding multi-million dollar settlements to formerly grieving and now all-business families of idiots.
Don't expect much, for these are the same people who continue to misspell words on the TV screen and whose on-scene reporters at various tragedies still say that something was "completely destroyed," when the word "completely" is unnecessary and serves only to make the reporter appear an amateur.
Tearin' 'em up in Texas: When you put colorful barriers in the river and then barbed wire, anybody attempting to cross from Mexico to the USA is going to get slashed, diced and bloody. One would think only a fool would make the attempt, but just look at injuries sustained as illegal border crossers continue to make their way no matter what. Network news shows proudly display border criminals sporting stitches which close wounds of their own making! Of course the Biden bunch, who seldom saw a federal law that didn't seem insurmountable, is taking Texas to court over the barriers. Funny how the Democrats have no problem stepping over federal immigration laws at their whim, but make no mistake: They're the only ones allowed to do so, in their minds. The modern Democrat Party and its willing minions are the enemies within.
Ridiculous Climate czar John Kerry rolls into China: And rolls right out again, without an agreement from China regarding his favorite and apparently only topic, climate change. When will government leaders in the USA tell Kerry and his ilk to just go away? We're sure that millions of people currently surviving only because they have air conditioners in the United States now realize the folly of our government "promising" to do away with such "luxuries" as air conditioning as new and useless energy avenues are developed. In other words, too late the solution.
Anyway, why worry about climate change when the Democrats are working so feverishly to get us into World War III (hot version)? Having been subject to the military draft during Vietnam, I wouldn't wish a new military draft campaign on anybody -- but, as they say, elections have consequences, and whether 18 and 19 year-olds will still be pleased they voted for Biden a few months from now remains to be seen, depending upon the unfolding of war-like circumstances. Anybody who believes the Dems can't continue torturing Donald Trump while simultaneously balancing the political armaments of war just isn't woke enough.
Jason Aldean Fights Back: As he should. And how is it that Black Lives Matter is still in the picture and on the attack when BLM has totally discredited itself? If musical artists have to play the cancel culture game when producing music videos, we can only suggest that a good publicly proclaimed dose of go f*** yourself is in order for those whose existence depends upon censoring others.
Educating Florida: If our profoundly intellectual VP and the cackling TV network news shows can restrain themselves for just a minute, they might be surprised to learn that Florida's new school curriculum for black history includes black heroes and events not generally publicized by the left during decades of education dominance in the country. Would critics prefer that the "1619 Project," roundly condemned by many academics for its errors, be used instead? Obviously, teaching about racial history without injecting obligatory hatred from one race to another will be a new experience for leftist observers, and they won't like it because that interferes with the only subject they know -- activism and protests.
Jamie Foxx fixed? Well, the beloved actor looks and sounds good, but still has not commented about what happened to him. Were early reports that his health became critical right after having a Covid immunization accurate? We need clarification, sooner rather than later.
Just in today: The cardiac event of LeBron James' 18-year-old son is yet another mystery regarding the cardiac tragedies occurring all over the planet with young people. Is it possible that a Covid immunization is responsible, as many suggest today? I don't know, but you already know my feelings about the mRNA thing -- and when its inventor warns against giving it to anybody, particularly young folk, I cannot dismiss the possibility. As I recall, LeBron James was as hot as a firecracker in dismissing those of us who refused the jab. I wonder if his belief system will undergo a change in the months ahead.
And so it goes: If I've offended anybody by seeming to be overtly racially or socially insensitive with today's entry, I apologize. Like hell.
