It's Tough To Make Predictions, Especially About The Future

... so said that great philosopher, Yogi Berra.

Alternate Title: Ignore the polls. They're meaningless right now.

The madness is only starting and there's no telling where it's going to end, only that it's going to end very, very badly for Democratic leadership and average blacks. They're going to get killed, some of them literally.

Last night in Portland, ANTIFA vandalized and toppled a statue of George Washington. In the video below, the shrieks sound like the demons of hell.



In Boston, they're pondering removing a statue of Abraham Lincoln. In New York, it's Thomas Jefferson. How do you put a stop to this? It's not the nation's problem in general, it's the Democrat political leaders' problem. It's their cities, not all of ours.

In Atlanta, a racist DA is charging a white cop with murder in the death of a black criminal. There's no one in the country right now who doesn't know exactly why this happened and it has nothing to do with justice. We're not allowed to talk about it in public without reflexive shaming, but we all know what this was. Where is this going?

Whether the cops retire, quit or simply go limp on the job matters not a bit to the people in the high-crime neighborhoods. That would be the average, inner city black, in case you were wondering. It will take a month or two for the crime rates to spike, but they will and there won't be an end to it. How do you regain the trust of the police? Again, this is a problem for the Democrat political leaders, not the rest of us in general.

Finally, there's a heavily-armed pack of left wing loons occupying part of Seattle, pretending to be a sovereign nation. How's that going to end without tears and bloodshed?

Unfortunately, Trump is our president. He's got psychological problems such that he's just as interested in his personal cat fights as he is in our nation. It all adds up to crazy instability. Making predictions about where this all is going to go, particularly with regards to the November election, is madness right now.

Mrs Ohioan and I were talking about this during our evening walk. She drew an analogy that got me thinking...

So let’s play a game... I have here a quote from a Wikipedia article wherein they are decrying the behavior of a group. I won’t say which article or group until later - unless someone guesses it correctly...

“But a nation’s cultural identity cannot be so easily dismissed: the past, the monuments, the history, the art treasures are as essential in establishing national unity and self-confidence as basic infrastructure is”.

I'd have to disagree. You can lose your culture in a single generation if your education industry says so.

Oh, wait.

What do you think are the odds that any of the commie scum who pulled down statues of Columbus have ever refused either to take the Columbus Day holiday off work or to be paid for not working on the holiday?

Oh, wait! Did I just *assume* their employment status? Surely that is as odious as assuming someone's "gender".
