I know that many of you out there are scratching your heads, wondering how such a thing could have been ALLOWED to happen. As am I. While we see the humor in it all, as Tucker does in the two videos, we should also understand the threat, and like a virus from Wuhan, we must contain it. Obviously, the State of Washington and the City of Seattle have no plans to bring the new country of CHAZ to an end.
There's a problem here. A big problem: Are the politicians just spineless, or is this part of their plan? How much should the President do to resolve this situation? If no action is taken, as you will learn in the third video here, there is the likelihood of it metastasizing. And actually, there are already signs of that happening.
Yes, the Nation of CHAZ experiment should be something to watch. It may actually help the Conservative cause, as it will show the failure of communal systems, along with anarchy, and sure, why don't we defund the police? It's a good teaching moment.
Hopefully, somebody will have a spine, and pull the plug on this vastly unsuccessful experiment. Maybe the answer is to just cut off all of their utilities, as in electricity, water, internet, and cell phone service... The goofy world of CHAZ needs to return to reality before anyone is hurt.
Enjoy the videos!
Tucker: The world welcomes its newest country
Say hello to the latest addition to the global family of nations: the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone, formerly known as downtown Seattle. Radio show host Jason Rantz weighs in on CHAZ.
Tucker: The new nation of CHAZ is a lesson for us all
Seattle radio show host Jason Rantz reports from America's new neighbor: CHAZ.
Seattle is 'closest I've ever seen' to being a 'lawless state:' Police union chief
Seattle Police Officers Guild President Michael Solan tells Fox News the city is now close to becoming "a lawless state."
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!
He said, “There’s no telling what could happen in just a couple of years, and particularly where we’re in a situation that we have a Senate and a Senate leader who has over 300 bills sitting on his desk. He will not bring them to the floor for a vote.”
He described that as thwarting the will of the people and instead of having government conform to the people, having the people conform to the “will of the government.”
The following video is from Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace, and includes the portion that Bob Unruh is discussing in this story. There are a few other cuts in the segment that I also include which lead me to the opinion that Dr. Carson would make a great President of the United States. Well, that is, if there IS an election in 2016! Just sayin'...
All that talk about the 2016 presidential race, Hillary Clinton’s innuendos, Rand Paul’s ideas, Chris Christie’s suggestions – may be all for naught.
“I hope that that is not going to be the case. But certainly there is the potential,” said Dr. Ben Carson, who was director of pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital and became famous for his groundbreaking work in separating conjoined twins. He is now firmly established as a superstar among conservatives across America.
Dr. Ben Carson
There may not even be a 2016 president election, according to one man who is a likely contender.
He was responding to a question from Fox News interviewer Chris Wallace, who quoted Carson’s own statement that “there might not actually be elections in 2016…”

What worries me about this attitude is that when food shortages hit on a long-term basis or when unemployment spikes beyond the government's ability to provide, hungry folks will listen to anyone who claims to have the ability to solve their problems and blame others for causing the hunger.
If money is worthless and food is hard to come by, how long before we react with fear and anger? How long before we're willing to blame anyone and anything? How long before some charismatic leader assures us that he can solve all our problems? How long before violence erupts?
Can't happen here? Don't fool yourself. Hunger has no nationality. It doesn't belong to any skin color, language or culture. Buy food now – because when the pantry is truly empty, it's too late.
Patrice points out the fact that various events could result in a crisis right here in America. Yes, it can happen right here. Agricultural failures, economic crisis, or even a fuel shortage could change things in a short amount of time. Once again, as she has written before, Patrice stresses the point that we need to be prepared.
Not from lack of trying. But after having the "winter of no winter" (very little snow), we also had the "summer of no summer." Well into the third week of June, the cold and rainy conditions made it nearly impossible for vegetables to grow.
It was a harsh lesson in some ways. Right now a garden's failure is merely an inconvenience. But in times past, a garden's failure could be catastrophic. After all, the French Revolution was triggered in large part because people were starving. Some say the recent riots in Egypt were fueled by surging wheat prices.
Keep this in mind for a moment as we review some recent headlines:
A leading U.K. scientist warned about a threat of food riots around the world unless research into increasing crop yields is stepped up.
A severe drought is threatening to destroy China's wheat crop. Emergency measures to divert water for irrigation are leaving nearly 3 million people short of drinking water. "China's grain situation is critical to the rest of the world – if they are forced to go out on the market to procure adequate supplies for their population, it could send huge shock waves through the world's grain markets," said Robert S. Zeigler.
Global food prices have hit "dangerous levels" that could contribute to political instability, push millions of people into poverty and raise the cost of groceries. The USDA predicted last week U.S. corn farmers will have 675 million bushels of corn at the end of August, before next year's harvest begins. That's just an 18-day supply.
Of course it's not just food that's an issue. What about debt?
President Obama's budget, released Monday, was conceived as a blueprint for future spending, but it also paints the bleakest picture yet of the current fiscal year, which is on track for a record federal deficit and will see the government's overall debt surpass the size of the total U.S. economy.
British columnist Andrew Simms isn't afraid to state the obvious: "This year is the 10th anniversary of the fuel protests [when protesters blockaded British oil refineries, bringing the supply of fuels to gas stations to a halt], when supermarket bosses sat with ministers and civil servants in Whitehall warning that there were just three days of food left. We were, in effect, nine meals from anarchy. Suddenly, the apocalyptic visions of novelists and filmmakers seemed less preposterous. Civilization's veneer may be much thinner than we like to think."
Are you connecting the dots yet? This is the elephant in the room that everyone refuses to see: We're not as secure in this country as the government and mainstream media would like us to believe. There are sporadic news reports about dire possibilities, but few people are willing to connect the dots on the individual level. And yet it's well-documented that America, too, has a mere three day supply of food in stores, thanks to just-in-time deliveries and the efficiency of modern-day transportation and manufacturing systems. America itself remains a mere nine meals from anarchy.
