'Post-woke:' The Pendulum Swings!

/

Federally indicted @MarilynMosbyEsq has been voted out in Baltimore. Like in San Fran when they ousted Chesa Boudin, hard working members of our communities are speaking w/a loud voice…we want law and order! About time every ‘woke’ politician gets that through their thick heads. - Joe Gamaldi

When you give the progressives rope, they sure know what to do with it. With seemingly little to no regard for positive results in the matters that are most important to the electorate, the progressive playbook and plans could not be any more destined for failure as if by design.

World-renowned scholar Thomas Sowell has identified three questions that when asked of progressive liberals about their ideas won’t pass the test of logic, reasoning or common sense in most cases:

•Compared to what?
•At what cost?
•What hard evidence do you have?


In Baltimore, it turns out that a collective citizen revolt against progressivism, in making Marilyn Mosby third in votes out of a field of three candidates, resulted is a much stronger leadership statement than what Baltimoreans’ have been getting from their elected leaders and their appointees. When evaluating the questions of Thomas Sowell, the answer became clear. The same holds true for San Francisco and likely elsewhere as we move forward.



Other ‘woke’ prosecutors who are in jeopardy of being run out of office:

·       Alvin Bragg (D), Manhattan

·       George Gascon (D), Los Angeles

·       Kim Foxx (D), Chicago

·       Larry Krasner (D), Philadelphia

·       John Chisolm (D), Milwaukee

·       Kevin Hayden (D), Boston

·       Kim Gardner (D), St. Louis

·       Mike Schmidt (D), Portland

…and many lesser-known district attorneys of the same ilk.

Back in Baltimore, the momentum against current Baltimore Police Commissioner Michael Harrison’s retention is gaining. Harrison, whose hire was endorsed by the Police Executive Research Forum, was hired for consent decree implementation rather than crime reduction or strong agency leadership. With grotesque crime rates in the city of Baltimore, does it seem likely with the ouster of Marilyn Mosby that city officials will finish the job with removal of Harrison too?

The precedent now seems to have been set. Both locally and nationally, Democrats will pay for what they are doing to President Trump, Steve Bannon, the January 6th defendants, other political prosecution victims and the American people. Keep poking the bear. It is rumored that a plan is in place to really drain the swamp of select federal civil service employees under potential future Republican executive leadership. The number of employees affected potentially could top 50,000 per reports. RINOs (Republicans in name only) like Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan, who refuses to back the Trump-endorsed Republican nominee to replace him as governor, beware too.

The America First Policy Institute has presented a new Republican-endorsed “Contract with America” known as the America First Agenda:

  1. MAKE THE GREATEST ECONOMY IN THE WORLD WORK FOR ALL AMERICANS

  2. PUT PATIENTS AND DOCTORS BACK IN CHARGE OF HEALTHCARE

  3. RESTORE AMERICA’S HISTORIC COMMITMENT TO FREEDOM, EQUALITY, AND SELF-GOVERNANCE

  4. GIVE PARENTS MORE CONTROL OVER THEIR CHILDREN’S EDUCATION

  5. FINISH THE WALL, END HUMAN TRAFFICKING, AND DEFEAT THE DRUG CARTELS

  6. DELIVER PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH AND AMERICAN LEADERSHIP

  7. MAKE AMERICA ENERGY INDEPENDENT

  8. MAKE IT EASY TO VOTE AND HARD TO CHEAT

  9. PROVIDE SAFE AND SECURE COMMUNITIES SO ALL AMERICANS CAN LIVE THEIR LIVES IN PEACE

  10. FIGHT GOVERNMENT CORRUPTION BY DRAINING THE SWAMP

 

I can only imagine the choices that will be made to lead the Department of Justice in an Attorney General and the FBI, CIA, Secret Service, ATF, DHS, ICE, NSA, and more to achieve the goals outlined above.

Meanwhile, the voters are speaking clearly… The “post-woke” era has begun!
