And a six year-old girl is dead.

As Candace Owens pithily put it (about a different incident): “Sick of the degeneracy.”

Well, if you release violent criminals on their own recognizance, and---if you bother to bring them to trial and find them guilty---give them light sentences and early release, all the while de-funding the police and restricting what they may do, what the hell does anyone sane think will happen?

Yes, but of course those things are all about treating the symptoms. The rot goes much deeper than that. “Black America” needs, if you’ll pardon the term, a cultural revolution.

Yes, that "cultural revolution" is certainly needed---but since it has to come from within, the likelihood of it happening is pretty close to nil.  

BTW, did you see the story from Fairfax, VA, about the NAACP functionary AND PTA employee who was filmed wishing death on CRT opponents, and was relieved of her PTA job (though not her NAACP position)?

This was posted last week, but JCM put up another one and no one wanted the smoked fish, so I changed the date and left it up.

Should have put an empty plate set on old stones, like the part of the First Temple era Jerusalem wall they found or identified recently.

Archaeologists find part of Jerusalem’s wall destroyed ahead of 9th of Av

A section of Jerusalem’s city wall built some 2,700 years ago and mostly destroyed by the Babylonian army in 586 BCE was uncovered by archaeologists in the City of David National Park, the Antiquities Authority (IAA) announced Wednesday.

BTW, Hamas immediately condemned Israel for lying about archaeology.

The Waqf that runs the Temple Mount has been excavating and trashing archaeological stuff from the Mount for years.

Yes. They want to hide or destroy any Jewish connection (even though the Koran states it). There is a "Sifting Project" that goes through the dirt they dump and has found many artifacts.

But they had better watch out - if they uncover the Ark, we know what will happen (do I need to link to that scene in Indiana Jones?)

Thomas Sowell has a YouTube channel. In one episode anti-slavery movement is discussed.

Anti-slavery forces were divided into two major groups. Strict abolitionists who want to instantly free the slaves, and who thought a transition to liberty would work better. The later group worried that simply freeing people with no life skills would be a disaster. (vastly simplified of course)

Seems we have something similar occuring a portion of population is not capable of living in a free society. The result is children being shot down in the streets of our Nation's Capital.

It is a shameful thing, but I don't think our Representatives are capable of shame any more.

And this is due to systemic racism - on the part of the Democrats, and the Black Supremacists of the Panthers and their ilk.

The Democrats structured welfare to destroy families, and with the teachers' unions, let teachers who thought black kids couldn't learn run their schools.

The Panthers and so on proclaimed that any Black who studied and worked hard was "acting white", and in effect, a race traitor.

50 years later, this is what we end up with.

They divert from the current reality by making slavery an original sin and projecting the blame.

The issue is that they ignore all that was done towards abolition and redress, while ignoring the many ways in which the recipients/beneficiaries of that redress have spurned it, failed to take advantage of it, or unjustly benefited from it.

What is Tisha B'Av? The ninth day of the month of Av.

The day the spies returned from Canaan, saying that the people there were too powerful for them to conquer the land. (Except for Caleb and Joshua) They lacked faith in G-d. G-d then declared the day to be a day of tragedies and mourning.

Both Temples were destroyed on the same date. The Bar Kochba revolt ended in defeat and the Jews of Betar were murdered. A year later, Rome plowed the Temple land.

Jews were expelled from England in 1290 and from Spain in 1492 Archduke Ferdinand was assassinated, starting WWI and setting the stage for WWII. And Germany declared war on Russia in WWII.
