DEMOCRAT-CONTROLLED PHILLY - SECOND HIGHEST MURDER RATE IN NATION

 

Philly Got a Soros DA, Its Murder Rate is the 2nd Highest in the U.S.

Soros killed a lot more black people than the police.

Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is an investigative journalist and writer focusing on the radical Left and Islamic terrorism.

Philly was never safe, but the City of Brotherly Love now has the second highest murder rate.

How did Philly pass so many other, seemingly more troubled cities, to make it to the top?

For many Philly cops and crime victims, the answer is simple: Larry Krasner, or as many police officers call the radical extremist holding down the DA’s office, ‘Let-em-go-Larry.’

After over 1,100 people have been shot, the radical leftist DA, whose campaign was funded by extremist billionaire George Soros, has inescapably transformed Philly into a war zone.

In one day, 23 people were shot in Philadelphia.

On taking office, Krasner purged experienced prosecutors and ordered the survivors not to hit killers with homicide charges and to go easy on criminals as much as possible. Gang members caught with guns were sent to Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition and put back on the street.

Philadelphia police recorded a 33% increase in murders so far this year. Every year that Larry Krasner has functioned as the city's DA, murders have gone up.

Shootings are now up 55% and the number of shooting victims has increased 36%.

In 2018, Krasner's first year running the city's justice system into the ground, murders rose 12%.

By 2019, murders had hit the city’s highest number in a decade. Instead of blaming the criminals. Krasner blamed poverty and lack of opportunity leading to hopelessness.

Beyond the bare statistics, the new wave of murders was accompanied by brutal atrocities.

In Krasner's first year in office, four men were found murdered in a basement. In his second year in office, a famous elderly animal rescuer was murdered in his home by a 14-year-old girl.

92 children have been shot so far this year and three children have been shot on average each week in a statistic that ought to shock a city. But even as black elected officials are calling for more policing, Krasner keeps falsely insisting that the answer is to get rid of the cops.

At the City Council’s Special Committee on Gun Violence, Krasner urged divesting from “traditional law enforcement”.

Philadelphia’s murder rate is the fruits of that divestment.

Krasner has dropped two-thirds of felony cases, 37% of illegal gun cases, and 44% of drug cases, while 60% of shooting cases have ended in a dismissal.

The leftist DA froze crime victims and their families out of the system. Family and survivors often heard that Krasner was going easy on a killer only when they read about it in the papers.

Krasner’s pro-crime policies got so bad that when his office decided to let a criminal who shot a store owner with an AK-47 get off with a 3.5 to 10 year prison sentence, the feds stepped in.

U.S. Attorney William M. McSwain blasted Krasner for having  “sent a message that violent crime has little consequences”.

“I believe he is putting police at risk and putting the public at risk,” he added.

When Krasner was asked about his role in the violence, he accused President Trump of racism.

"It is simply not normal to be in a state with so many people doing life without parole and to be unwilling to look at alternatives," he defended his pro-crime policies.

The alternatives, like Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition, are racking up a big body count.

After Philadelphia Police Corporal James O’Connor was shot and killed by a violent thug whom Krasner had kept on the streets, police officers formed a line to block Krasner's attempt to enter the hospital. And officers are organizing efforts to defeat Krasner in the next election.

But they have one powerful man’s wealth standing against them.

George Soros does not live in Philadelphia, but his wealth has dramatically transformed cities across the country by financing the campaigns of pro-crime activist DAs like Larry Krasner.

The Protect Our Police PAC will have to contend with Soros' money if it wants to restore safety and security to Philly. Last time around, the extremist billionaire, who has financed radical causes around the world, plowed $1.45 million into Krasner’s campaign.

Democrat primaries notoriously draw out a more radical base than the general electorate. If Krasner squeezes through the Democrat primary, Philly will continue to be a war zone.

And the victims will be mostly African-American.

86% of the murder victims in Philadelphia are black. And 92% of the children shot in the troubled city are also black.

Beyond the abstractions of statistics, 79 more people have died during two years of Krasner's tenure. And considering the sharp rise in murders in 2020, that will only increase.

Already an estimated 50 more people have been killed this year.

These deaths are on Krasner’s hands and on the seamy hands of George Soros.

Dozens of people, including children, who might have lived, are instead buried in cemeteries across the city because Soros decided to buy an election and rig the system to support criminals. The price for pro-crime policies is being paid by those 129 murder victims.

And all those who will come after them.

Soros’ program is killing black people in Philadelphia. It’s killed far more black people than police officers have. And it’s increasingly making the City of Brotherly Love unlivable.

"These are normal growing pains," Krasner had insisted. "Change is never easy."

Now that Philadelphia has the 2nd highest murder rate of the nation’s major cities, are these still normal growing pains, or a case of Walter Duranty’s omelets being broken in America?

Philadelphia is quickly becoming the new Baltimore. And Soros’ $1.45 million has managed to buy a fortune in blight and misery that, because of the pandemic, can’t be properly calculated.

And yet Philly is a good place to start when trying to understand the cost of Soros’ policies. The past few years show what can happen to any city when it falls into the billionaire’s hands. Like a good investor, Soros saw an opportunity to buy a key political office at a low price. And the consequences have done more damage and killed more people than a terrorist attack.

“It is a sort of disease when you consider yourself some kind of god, the creator of everything, but I feel comfortable about it now since I began to live it out,” Soros once said.

But it is the Democrats, their media, and radical edge who decided to let Soros play god.

On the streets of Philadelphia, children are dying, women are mourning, and in his mansion a billionaire plays god with their lives in the name of his politics.


NYC Police Union President: ‘You Won’t Be Safe in Joe Biden’s America’

Pat Lynch, president of the New York City Police Benevolent Association, the largest municipal police union in the world, warned voters that the Democrats would leave vulnerable people at the mercy of violent criminals if elected.

Speaking at the RNC, Lynch slammed Democrats for surrendering to the far left’s war on cops, highlighting actions taken by local Democrat politicians to undermine law enforcement. In city after city, they have slashed police budgets.

“They have hijacked and dismantled the criminal justice system. They have passed laws that made it impossible for police officers to do our job.”

“The violence and chaos we’re seeing now isn’t a side effect. It’s actually the goal,” Lynch said, adding “the radical left doesn’t really want better policing. They don’t really care about making the justice system fairer. What they want is no policing. What they want is a justice system that stops working altogether.”

Lynch said that the goal of the far left’s campaign against the police isn’t about genuine reform, but sending a message that “police officers are the enemy,” that “criminals have the right to resist arrest,” and that “if you victimize a vulnerable person, the justice system will not hold you accountable.”

“The criminals have heard that message, and they are taking full advantage,” said Lynch. “We must stop that message. We must expose the left’s lies about police officers and the job we do.”

“We look at the victims, the vulnerable, the regular working people who count on us. We know we can’t let them down.”

“And we hear the words of our President, who says to cops everywhere “I will never let you down.” We’ve been fortunate to have his powerful voice defending police officers. We know that we absolutely cannot afford to lose it.”

“You won’t be safe in Joe Biden’s America,” concluded Lynch. “You can have four more years of President Trump.
Or you can have no safety, no justice, no peace.”

Looters took to the streets of Minneapolis late Wednesday following the suicide of a homicide suspect, looting several stores including Saks 5th Avenue and a liquor store, as several videos show.

“More looting in downtown Minneapolis. They’ve now breached the Saks 5th Avenue store on 6th and Nicollet and people are making out with lots of goods,” FOX 9 reporter Courtney Godfrey reported late Wednesday night:

“Burn this shit down!” one man screamed as another entered a store through the broken glass:

Another video shows looters knocking over displays in what appears to be Target:

According to FOX 9’s Godfrey, authorities broke up the looting at the Saks 5th Avenue store using pepper spray. Notably, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) recently called to ban officers from using non-lethal munitions, including pepper spray, on protesters:

Lawlessness broke out in the city on Wednesday after a homicide suspect committed suicide. While the Minneapolis Police Department initially released a graphic video of the suicide, showing no officer fire involved in the suspect’s death, some of those who took to the streets reportedly believed that officers fatally shot the man.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) announced late Wednesday that state patrol was en route to Minneapolis to help “restore order” in the city. He also activated the National Guard:

 

 

The NYT claims that racism, not Democrat policies, are why poorer neighborhoods are hotter


By Jack Hellner

The New York Times has gone off the deep end again.

This article claims that racist urban planning is why some neighborhoods are hotter than others.

How racist urban planning left some neighborhoods to swelter

The story started with a simple question: Why are some neighborhoods so much hotter than others? In cities like Baltimore, Portland and New York, neighborhoods that are lower-income and have more Black or Hispanic residents can be up to 20 degrees Fahrenheit hotter in summer, with far fewer trees and more heat-absorbing pavement than whiter, wealthier parts of the same city.

Yet its chart shows absolutely that it is fewer trees and more cement or blacktop that causes warming, not CO2, fossil fuels or oil use.

Racism is pretty far-fetched.

It is also common sense that cement is hotter than grass or pastures or forests. One of the main reasons that the data show a minor rise in temperatures over the last 150 years, after a little ice age ended around 1850, is that many temperature gathering stations were moved from rural grassy areas to areas with cement, buildings and asphalt. What a surprise!

It is truly a shame that Democrat-run cities like Baltimore, Portland, New York and others do so much to keep minorities poor and dependent on government instead of giving them the opportunity to move up the economic ladder like Trump does.

And while they're running these cities, why can't they cough up for a few neighborhood trees?

The Democrat anti-poverty, welfare programs of the last fifty years have encouraged the breakup of families lead more people to live in poverty. That causes them to live in more crowded homes in hotter neighborhoods. The crowded homes and poverty lead to worse health outcomes and leaves them more vulnerable to diseases like COVID 19. Why do so many minorities have worse outcomes from the virus because their health leaves them more vulnerable. Could it be that it is because so many of them have been dependent on government run healthcare for decades? Why would we want this for everyone? Competition yields better results not a government monopoly.

The disease, nor climate change are racist. The policies that keep minorities dependent on government are. There is not systemic racism but there are a heck of a lot of people who want minorities to be dependent on government and that is most of the media, entertainers and other Democrats.

Why do almost all journalists repeat that the science is settled on oil and CO2 causing climate change and hotter temperatures when there is no scientific data that shows a direct correlation between temperatures and oil use?

Why aren’t Joe Biden, PresidentObama, Kamala Harris, Al Gore, Nancy Pelosi, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez or Bill Gates asked for scientific data to support their agenda? The answer is that there is none and that is why the debate is cut off and those of us who tell the truth that the climate has always changed cyclically and naturally are called stupid, anti-science and climate change deniers. Instead of debating us, they call us names. We are also called racists because they don’t want to debate their radical leftists policies.

The answer is they want government control of all aspects of our lives, No one with any common sense or a brain should believe that politicians and bureaucrats can control temperatures, sea levels and storm activity forever if we just hand them trillions of hard-earned dollars and destroy the economy.

The same people who say they can control temperatures, sea levels and storm activity forever are the ones who continually lied that we could keep our health care plan, our doctor and our premiums and costs would drop substantially. Why would anyone trust them?

My guess is the New York Times journalists who wrote this article have no idea that they exposed the lie that CO2 and oil cause temperatures to rise but I thank them for writing it to give us stupid, anti-science people more ammunition before we intentionally destroy the U.S. economy.

The Collapse of the Democrat Brand


By Bode Lang

"He spoke in generalities that everyone found agreeable at first and meaningless upon reflection."  That is one summary of Democrat icon Franklin Delano Roosevelt's speaking style. 

Last week's Democratic National Convention shows how little Democrats have changed — a beautiful outer shell with nothing inside.  Professions of equality, justice, compassion, and empathy are precisely the types of slogans many of us find initially agreeable but too vague and empty to warrant additional thought.  The only difference is that today's Democrats bring a parade of celebrities to play the part of aesthetically pleasing decorations on the outer walls of their empty shell.

Democrats have built their brand on proclamations of benevolence.  They've successfully branded themselves to many Americans as the party who cares about others, the tolerant people, the non-racist party, and the party for good-hearted people who want us all to get along.  This brand image was mostly built on the backs of tie-dye-shirted, pacifist 1960s hippies.  Educators romanticized the sit-ins and protests for decades, which calcified the left as the brand of non-violence.  After all, the pacifist hippie is a much better brand spokesman than the Black Panthers or the Weather Underground, who routinely committed terrorist attacks in the 1960s.

To be fair to Democrats, they have no choice but to be disingenuous.  They are beholden to a brand image that doesn't accurately depict who they are.  For decades, the left's monopoly on mass communication systems concealed its true character.  Today, ubiquitous camera phones and social media have made leftists' hate and violence impossible to hide.  Their only option is pretending to align with the existing Democrat brand and hoping we forget the last ten years.

Democrats approve of burning cities, mass riots, and hundreds of beatings for those willing to wear Trump-branded clothing.  Surveys show that nearly half of leftists won't even be friends with Trump-supporters.  There are also countless examples of Trump-supporters blacklisted for incorrect political viewpoints.  None of this is congruent with a kind, tolerant, peaceful brand.  Perhaps the pinnacle of the left's false brand image happened at a Minnesota high school when students violently beat another student for carrying a Trump flag during a protest — against gun violence.

It's hard for someone to be likable when any level of disagreement is anathema to him.  The same applies to the Democrat brand.  Hollywood has resorted to rewriting existing superheroes to be more woke because it can't create woke heroes.  That's because there is nothing admirable about wokeness.  Children don't aspire to be perpetual complainers who thrive on destroying people for typos.  There is nothing likable about paranoid malcontents, who see racism and Russian assets everywhere they look.  Nobody wants to be a leftist because it sounds miserable, and multiple polls prove that Democrats are less happy than Republicans.  Democrats can create superheroes — just not in their own image, because there is nothing honorable or likeable about the left.  Its brand is dead.

The Democrats' brand has collapsed beyond repair and they know it.  The current strategy to prevent the flock from fleeing the pasture is not preserving their brand, but branding the alternative option as so deplorable that it's beneath consideration.  The only way to cover up the noxious fumes of leftism is to double down on the negative branding of Republicans as a party of hate.  

"Love Trumps Hate," "Make America Hate Again," "Hate Has No Home Here" — these are merely a few of the slogans attempting to link hate to the conservative brand.  Hate speech, hate crimes, hate groups — everything is "hate." 

The dominance of the Democrat brand throughout mass media, education, and American culture successfully branded the left as the default way to vote — especially for young people.  But Democrat branding efforts are most effective when they're the only show in town.  For years, the left has bullied Republicans to preserve its brand monopoly.

If conservatives are scared to share their political beliefs, it makes those flamboyant about their left-wing politics seem like the morally superior choice.  If Republicans were morally superior, why would they hide their views?  Threats, intimidation, and doxxing are the primary reasons for the silence, and this bullying has prevented Republicans from taking pride in their brand.

The real cause for the vitriol toward Trump-supporters is that this new Republican pride is symbolic of the left's brand decline.  With every MAGA hat is the realization of the left's intimidation and propaganda not working as effectively as they once did.  The rage that follows is a panicked leftist struggling to understand why the left's efforts aren't working.  Leftists have inundated Americans with leftism at every turn but can't understand why some people still don't convert.  Every sighting of a MAGA hat is a reminder that the Democrats' brand is fading fast.   

The only solution is to take the conservative brand down to their level and regain the advantage of the default vote.  Their desperation is obvious when they compare Donald Trump to Democrat segregationists like George Wallace, often incorrectly labeling Wallace as a Republican to strengthen the lie.  It no longer matters if lies, censorship, and cancel culture further damage the Democrat brand  — their brand has already collapsed.  Efforts must focus solely on damaging the conservative brand.  Besides, if they win one more election, they won't need to rely on branding anymore.  

A Democrat sweep in November will provide amnesty to 20+ million illegal aliens, plus another five to ten million immigrants imported over the next four years through our new open borders policy.  These new American citizens will be bribed with our tax dollars to vote away our rights.  A Somalian immigrant isn't going to turn down a monthly paycheck to preserve your Second Amendment rights.  Antifa will help draft public policy; they'll abolish the Electoral College and pack the SCOTUS with leftists.  That's not hyperbole, either — they are open about all of this.  Under such circumstances, it will be difficult for Republicans to win an election anytime soon. 

They know how close they are to reaching their goals — which is why the Democrats no longer even try to defend their brand.  Democrats have sacrificed their brand to win in 2020 without any contingency plan.  Their lust for power has blinded them to the consequences of destroying their brand in a losing effort.  

When Trump wins in November, the death of their brand will finally sink in.
