We’re Reaching the Point Of No Return ~ Ep. 1275 ~ The Dan Bongino Show®

From the Dan Bongino Show's description of this episode on youtube.com/Bongino or in his Show Notes:

In this episode I address the controversy surrounding the police use of force incident in Atlanta, and the subsequent unrest. I clear up the misinformation coming from the media about the incident.

Yes, about that use of force incident in Atlanta, I was so glad when I watched this episode, yesterday and again today, that Dan covered it as well as he did. The good news is that when I saw the coverage on Saturday, I could tell right away that it was definitely a proper use of deadly force. And, I was never a law enforcement officer, and I could still tell.  I was watching coverage on Fox News, and they were being mostly fair, until I heard the Fox News host that was doing the coverage say that an unarmed (wrong!) black man was shot and killed by the police. It wasn't one of the regulars, but probably some weekend host working extra on a late Saturday night. I wish I remembered who it was. Maybe the Fox News guy didn't realize that a taser could be used as a weapon.  So can a steak knife.  However, that doesn't excuse him, and I believe it was purposeful, and meant to gaslight us a little more, and accept the anger of the protestors that just torched the Wendy's where it happened.

Though I understood the situation, it was really good to see Dan defending the officer - who was immediately fired - and the police chief in Atlanta resigned, you have to wonder how many people only saw the events through the eyes of the left-wing lying fake news media, where many of the pertinent details were left out, and were inspired to go out and riot some more? Wouldn't you think that the MSM people would having feelings of deep guilt and regret for encouraging people to go do damage that only hurts other Americans? Did the left-wing gaslighting media folks think about the black kid that's trying to pay for his or her first car and take college courses by working at that Wendy's? Of course not.  Let's just create more chaos, and gain fuel to dismantle police departments and/or defund them... That IS their purpose, and I'll tell you why.

A day or two ago, I saw tweet that asked why the Left is trying to eliminate local police departments. That IS a great question. Who would ever think that not having police coming to the rescue in an emergency is a good idea? Just because there are a handful of bad cops out there? We're not talking about departments being saturated with bad law enforcement officers.   I mentioned that I had a theory, and somebody asked for the link to my theory, which I didn't find. I probably had told somebody about it verbally, so, now I will be able to point to this post. My theory is that the Demonicrats want absolute chaos, and without police to contain it. And then, should the Demonicrats win back the White House and the U. S. Senate, and keep the House of Representatives, they would call it a major crisis (which it would be), and institute a national police force. I really believe that is a very plausible theory, being that the national police force would eventually be managed by the global government that the Left is striving for.  One of my clues was when I learned about the drones made in China.  Go ahead, just google "DJI".  It's just the beginning.

Please forgive me for straying off the subject there.  Oh, wait, no, I'm right on subject.  When Dan talks about the problem "coming to your front door," that may have been an even more dire warning than he had considered. Our problems are going to become real for many of us, on a personal level. No, we won't become violent and destroy our economy like the Left likes to do, and wants people to do, but as Dan is telling us, we are going to have to fight back. We can no longer remain silent.

So watch this episode, and please pay close attention. And beware.  Don't answer the front door if you see that drone hovering there.  Just sayin'...

Stand up for the Truth ~ Ep. 1270 ~ The Dan Bongino Show®

From the Dan Bongino Show's description of this episode on youtube.com/Bongino or in his Show Notes:

In this episode, I address the Democrats‘ latest outrageous attack on the police and I debunk the myths they’re promoting to advance their cause. I also address the protests, the riots, and the debate over the Second Amendment. Finally, I address the latest efforts by the government to hide this key Spygate witness.

It looks like a really good night for me to take a slight breather from all my writing in the past week.  Not that I mind it at all, it's actually just what I need to help get through the "shelter-in-place" thing.  It puts my mind to work. 

It seems that Dan is still very focused on the calls by Liberal politicians to "Defund the police," and we can understand that, being what he did in the past as an officer with the NYPD and then as an agent for the Secret Service.  But, it should be a very important issue for all of us, assuming that none of us want to be living in a extremely unsafe world, where rule of law no longer exists!

When you are voting for people this election in November, a few short months from now, please pay very close attention to what the candidates running for office are saying.  First of all, you need to watch this episode, it will help you determine if that politician is anti-law enforcement.  Sometimes, it isn't easy to tell when they have these nice "word salad" talking points and say things that may sound really imaginative, but really offer absolutely a big goose egg in actual solutions.  And, oh boy, the gigantic myths about the police "problems" that Dan easily debunks - with actual facts - are the other things to be aware of and considered before you vote.  If the candidate is for banning "assault rifles" and for "defunding the police," you will know for sure not to vote for that candidate.  Be careful, though, they can be really good at hiding their true beliefs, too.  Politicians can be tricky.  That's why you need to be sure you know about four of the top myths about police, which Dan gets to in his last segment.

Yes, I know, in the show description above, it mentions a Spygate story and the debate over the Second Amendment.  I'm very sorry that I have to disappoint you, but Dan doesn't ever get to either of those topics in this episode.  But that is perfectly fine, as the show content today is meant to counter the call for defunding the police and all of the other BS that Liberals are talking about.  I call it, Defending the Police, which is something that we need people like Dan to do, especially with his experience and perspectives.  And, it is all worth it, when he shows the President of the Minneapolis City Council, Lisa Bender, totally making a fool of herself by doubling down on her proposal to dismantle the Minneapolis police force.  It seems absolutely absurd to even suggest getting rid of law enforcement, and one of these days, I'll tell you my theory about why Liberals are suggesting this.

That's all I've got today, folks, but if you haven't seen today's show yet, this Episode 1270 is great, and you need to see it.

SHOW NOTES for Episode 1270

The Battle Lines Have Been Drawn ~ Ep. 1269 ~ The Dan Bongino Show®

From the Dan Bongino Show's description of this episode on youtube.com/Bongino or in his Show Notes:

In this episode I address the insane “defund the police movement” and I debunk liberal myths about policing which are being used to fuel rage. I also address the inside story of the NYPD chaos and the Secret Service’s political fights.

So, there is this little piece of advice that Dan Bongino has for those out there that want to defund the police.  This is being discussed in liberal cities, like in Minneapolis, Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York.  And it isn't just stopping at defunding the police. In Minneapolis, they actually voted to dismantle the police force.  I really think that they should reconsider that proposal.  Doing away with the police force is not going to lead to any great civilization with no crime.  Actually, it would have the exact opposite affect.  Yep, just my personal opinion, based on what I know is true.  There are still unbelievably evil sociopathic people out there, and without any type of law enforcement, it would be total chaos and anarchy. 

There are three big reasons for having plenty of very well trained law enforcement officers:  The police are there to possibly prevent crimes when possible, stop crimes while they are occurring, and investigating crimes that have already occurred.   In this post, I want to focus on explaining and exploring each of those elements, which should help people understand why defunding the police is a really horrible idea. 

In the case of crime prevention, there's a thing called deterrence.  I'm sorry, but anybody that thinks that the criminal thinks about what happens if they get caught, prosecuted and found guilty, and incarcerated, is a deterrent, I would have to say they are wrong.  I know that seems hard to believe.  I couldn't even fathom the thought of being locked up in a cell, for any amount of time.  Of course, now, people are being let OUT of jail because of the Wuhan Coronavirus, so even the thought of incarceration isn't going to deter many of the hardened criminals.  The REAL deterrent to keep a crime from occurring is a police presence.   Police patrols in the squad cars, plainly marked and obvious to the criminals, and even the walking beat patrols, DO deter crime.  Defunding the police would greatly reduce the manpower needed for this element of fighting crime:  Prevention by deterrence.

The next element is very critical to your safety in this world.  Being able to call 911 when a crime is being committed, and having officers arrive soon enough to possibly save your life, would be very beneficial for your health and safety.  Of course, they can't always get to you in time, but they will try their hardest:  Lights, sirens and the whole nine yards.  But throw in a huge manpower shortage, and large gaps in coverage, and you're going to have a very serious problem.  Sadly, there are areas that would see much less coverage than is needed, and that would be in the rougher neighborhoods.  They would suffer the most.   Like Dan talks about in this episode, the police come to emergencies sometimes just to protect the fire fighters and/or the EMTs.  And who is going to direct traffic in the case of accidents on the freeway, to keep everybody safe, including you?

Finally, there is the third element for the need for plenty of funding for the police.  It always seems to be a problem when a crime has been committed, and that hopefully somebody will investigate it.  That could be you, someday:  Wanting justice for a crime that hurts you or a loved one.  Now think about it, if police departments are defunded, and they don't have the personnel to investigate, you'll be left in the dark, with no recourse (except for being a real life Charles Bronson "Death Wish" vigilantes, which you DON'T want!).   Of course, with a lack of funding, and many officers leaving the police departments, you then lose the experienced officers you would want as investigators.  There is only so much they can do.  And yet, you will still want the crime solved, and not become a cold crime.  But no, your police department was defunded, and all the good investigators went elsewhere. 

Now, when I was watching this episode, I heard Dan say that when a crime is being committed, "Who are you going to call, Ghost Busters?"  That hit me on two different levels.  First of all, that is the perfect description of the ignorance of the Liberals, and tells you how little they have thought through their suggestion that the police can be defunded or eliminated.  But the second level, one that I care about, and might mean nothing to you, is my question in the back of my mind:  Is Dan Bongino reading my blogs or tweets?  Just wondering.  I'd be honored if he was.

Please watch this episode if you haven't already.  Let me know if you think I am right, which you can do by sharing the link and tweet(s) I do to promote this wonderful episode.  Thank you, Dan Bongino, for all that you do, and have done in law enforcement.

• Why Socialism Sucks. An Interview with Dinesh D’Souza ~ Ep. 1268 ~ The Dan Bongino Show®

Liberals Are All In On Chaos ~ Ep. 1267 ~ The Dan Bongino Show®

From the Dan Bongino Show's description of this episode on youtube.com/Bongino or in his Show Notes:

In this episode I address the Democrats pushing to “defund the police,” and the chaos that would result from this nonsense. I also address the epic failure of Rod Rosenstein to account for the Spygate scandal. Finally, I discuss the incredibly economic numbers which may indicate we’re moving back to prosperity.

Don't worry about a thing, folks, the Liberals in the major urban areas and Blue states, have it all under control. No, Dan didn't say that, and I'm being so sarcastic. It must be Sarcastic Saturday, right? Well, while some of those states and cities were still in lock downs, or maybe allowed to open their small businesses, while being forced to work with half, or less, of their normal pre-Wuhan revenues, so they could institute "social distancing" practices.

Meanwhile, the people in those areas were allowed to go out and protest the murder of George Floyd, and while they were at it, bad elements of society came along and caused massive amounts of property damage, looting and pillaging, and destroying the very businesses that would be hiring many people after the lockdowns were over. Geniuses. Really, I don't think those people thought it out very well. I'm speaking of the politicians. With all the people out peacefully marching, and some without wearing protective masks, will we be seeing a massive spike of new Coronavirus cases? Will we see the number of hospitalizations become overwhelming, and Coronavirus deaths spiraling out of control? Those are the questions that I've been asking since the protests became real following the public execution by the police of a Minnesota man.  But, can I ask, what happens if there isn't some kind of spike from the lack of social distancing?  Were we duped and had our livelihoods taken away for no reason?

Despite this episode being loaded for bear, and there is a lot that Dan will get to, probably the biggest attention grabber for me was when he discussed the Brian Fallon tweet that says, "Defund the police."   In case you didn't see it, I did a retweet with comment on my timeline, where I say, "What a total moron for tweeting this. Has anyone actually thought this through? When somebody invades their homes, who are they going to call, Ghost Busters? Is Superman going to come save them? Brian Fallon's tweet is 10 times more absurd than anything I can say about it." 

So, is it just me that thinks that those calling for defunding their police, or even dismantling the police force, have not thought it through very carefully?  Yes, Mr. Floyd's death was terribly tragic, horrifying for everyone (except cave dwellers) that saw it in the videos and/or news channels.  While the thing that happened should be treated as an anomaly, by several rogue cops, the Liberal left is telling everybody that it is systemic racism.  I do not agree with that assessment.

In yesterday's post, I had written something that I want to correct. I was speaking of Demonicrat politicians, and I wrote: "Yes, there are still some very bad people out there, and SOME of them will eventually face another election." I should have added the following: "And some day they will be face to face with their Maker."  Maybe too blunt, but there is a point to this.  Racism really isn't wide spread, or systemic, in America. 

Since my days of childhood in the 50's and 60's, vast improvements have been made.  I don't see racism like I saw it 50 years ago.  Not even close.  I won't deny that there are still improvements to be made!  Yes, that is something we can all unite on, and we can do it despite the influence of the dark forces of evil that need economically challenged people that will depend on the government, from cradle to grave.   We can, and we will make those changes, and a lot of that needs to be done at the ballot box in all national, state, and local elections. Just sayin'...

Okay, as usual, I've had my rant for the day.  Please keep in mind that I do hope you watch the Dan Bongino Show episodes that I have been placing in many of my posts.  For me, watching them has been a very important part of my days and nights.  I get to see Dan qualify my values and beliefs, and knowing that I'm not alone out here, in flyover country, "just a nobody" that believes that America is still a great country, and a miracle that really shouldn't have happened.  (Yes, in this episode, Dan will explain that, too!)

No, I know I'm NOT alone, and definitely NOT a nobody!  And there is this:  For those of us that love America, many of us believe that President Donald Trump is making America great again, and that he will continue to do so if elected this November for another four years.  Now, we do have some new challenges that need to be worked out, but with 2.5 million Americans going back to work in the latest numbers from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS)... And that leftist "economist" Paul Krugman denied could be true, with a tweet that apparently said that the BLS fudged the numbers, but had to walk back.  Enough said about that hack.

Get the popcorn ready, and have at it!  It is seriously one of Dan's best since I've been watching him.  Ding, ding, ding!   (You will only get that if you are watching The Dan Bongino Show.)  Roll the tape!

SHOW NOTES for Episode 1267

Trump Takes Back the Street ~ Ep. 1264 ~ The Dan Bongino Show®

From the Dan Bongino Show's description of this episode on youtube.com/Bongino or in his Show Notes:

In this episode, I address the organized ANTIFA insurrection against the United States. I also address the latest attempt by the tech tyrants to destroy conservatives and the President.

I am really happy to report that Dan was totally on his A-Game in this episode.  What a great hour or two I spent watching this episode.  If you haven't seen it yet, you really should!

Dan's normal exuberance was back, I tell ya!   I could really see his excitement level lifting off the charts when he started talking about what President Trump did on Monday, when he got done with the press statement, and then headed over to St. John's.  Yes, Dan was a Secret Service agent, assigned to the Presidential detail, and knew exactly what the thoughts were of the agents when President Trump headed over to the church.  That was kind of cool to see how Dan explained it, and tore the media up for their trash-talking about the incident.  You can see that in Dan's first block of this episode.

There happened to be a very interesting tweet that I saw today, before writing this.  The first part of the tweet asks, "If VERITAS can infiltrate Antifa, what do you think the DOJ has been doing?"  Well, if you haven't heard about Antifa being designated as a terrorist organization, then you've probably been watching too much mainstream news.  In fact, the MSM totally ignores the fact that Antifa is responsible for a lot of the rioting in the big cities.  They actually had all the supplies needed, staged around the cities, such as gasoline, bricks, and various objects that could do a lot of harm to people and property.  I guess if the liberal media doesn't pick up on this story, they're going to look awfully stupid.  When the DOJ/FBI starts rounding up those critters, what is the MSM going to say then?  And, by the way, Dan has a few things to say about members of Antifa that will delight you.  Those Antifa members?  Total wimps... chumps... and he had other things that he couldn't say because of keeping the show family friendly, but he really wanted to.

So, nuke your popcorn, and enjoy the show!

SHOW NOTES for Episode 1264

New Jersey Police Officer Allows Bellmawr Gym Defying Lockdown to Reopen ~ Video

From the Youtube page for THE BALLERS LIFE:

Police officers were met with applause and chants of “USA” after they allowed a gym in Bellmawr, New Jersey, to continue operating on Monday, May 18, despite state lockdown orders.

Atilis Gym co-owner Ian Smith announced in a May 11 Facebook video that the facility would resume operations on May 18 “under the strictest measures.” Smith criticized the closure of nonessential businesses, saying “the danger of the virus had been largely overestimated.”

According to Johns Hopkins University, 10,363 people in New Jersey have died from COVID-19, the second-highest death rate of any US state (after New York).

Atilis Gym said new regulations include operating at 20 percent capacity, taking temperatures upon entry, and making hand sanitizer available, among other guidelines. The gym also said members in the facility must wear a mask “unless you are in the middle of your set.”

This video, filmed on May 18, shows an officer giving the OK for Atilis Gym to reopen, prompting demonstrators to cheer and break into chanting.

“Normally, you are all in violation of the executive order. On that note, have a good day, everybody be safe,” the officer says as the crowd erupts in applause.

Atilis Gym co-owner Frank Trumbetti said in a May 13 Facebook video that the reopening was planned to “fight for our rights.” An emotional Trumbetti also said in the video that his mother tested positive for the coronavirus in early May.

He said as of May 13, his mom was “nonresponsive” in the hospital and under do-not-resuscitate and do-not-intubate orders.

“Trust me when I say, I probably take this more seriously than probably almost anybody you know,” Trumbetti said in the video. Credit: @proteinnpop

This police officer deserves the Presidential Medal of Freedom for what he does here!  Yes, this gave me goosebumps, especially after what I wrote and worked on this weekend, in my post, "The Independence Day I Dream Of! ~ Video by Mad Liberals."

And now, there is the judge who declared that Oregon Gov. Brown's coronavirus restrictions are 'null and void'!  Meanwhile, a Federal judge ruled that the North Carolina governor’s coronavirus restrictions violate religious expression!

Folks, it's going to be happening all across the fruited plains of this great nation.  Yes, there are people that take the Constitution and our Bill of Rights very seriously.  Americans really do not appreciate being told to lock themselves up in their homes, and not have the right to freely worship, or run their businesses, though mostly with safety precautions.

I think Mayor Lightfoot in Chicago is going to be facing some problems after some of the things she has done with restrictions on even going to church.  That little dictator Mayor, along with Gov. Witmer of Michigan, probably should take heed to Attorney General William Barr's memo that states the following:

Now, I am directing each of our United States Attorneys to also be on the lookout for state and local directives that could be violating the constitutional rights and civil liberties of individual citizens.

So, here is the video that I found, thanks to @SimonRadio1776 And many thanks to THE BALLERS LIFE for posting this video on youtube. It will definitely give you goosebumps!



UPDATE: I believe I spoke too soon in regard to this story!

When the cops seize your stuff ~ By John Stossel

John Stossel writes about the ability of the police to be able seize property when used in the commission of a crime. Is it fair? Wait until you hear what the police do with the property!

This is serious, folks. The police can seize your property if they think it was used in a crime. If you want it back, you must prove it was not used criminally. The burden of proof is on you. This reverses a centuries-old safeguard in Anglo-American law against arbitrary government power.

The feds do this, too. In 1986, the Justice Department made $94 million on forfeitures. Today, its forfeiture fund has more than a billion in it.

By John Stossel

© 2010

In America, we're supposed to be innocent until proven guilty. Life, liberty and property can't be taken from you unless you're convicted of a crime.

Your life and liberty may still be safe, but have you ever gone to a government surplus auction? Consumer reporters like me tell people, correctly, that they are great places to find bargains. People can buy bikes for $10, cars for $500.

But where did the government get that stuff?

Some is abandoned property.

But some I would just call loot. The cops grabbed it.

Zaher El-Ali has repaired and sold cars in Houston for 30 years. One day, he sold a truck to a man on credit. Ali was holding the title to the car until he was paid, but before he got his money the buyer was arrested for drunk driving. The cops then seized Ali's truck and kept it, planning to sell it.

Ali can't believe it.

"I own that truck. That truck has done nothing."

The police say they can keep it under forfeiture law because the person driving the car that day broke the law. It doesn't matter that the driver wasn't the owner. It's as if the truck committed the crime.

"I have never seen a truck drive," Ali said. "I don't think it's the fault of the truck. And they know better."

Something has gone wrong when the police can seize the property of innocent people.

"Under this bizarre legal fiction called civil forfeiture, the government can take your property, including your home, your car, your cash, regardless of whether or not you are convicted of a crime. It's led to horrible abuses," says Scott Bullock of the Institute for Justice, the libertarian law firm.

Bullock suggests the authorities are not just disinterested enforcers of the law.

"One of the main reasons they do this and why they love civil forfeiture is because in Texas and over 40 states and at the federal level, police and prosecutors get to keep all or most of the property that they seize for their own use," he said. "So they can use it to improve their offices, buy better equipment."

Obviously, that creates a big temptation to take stuff.
