So, the cities that have been devastated by their lousy electoral decisions are beginning to recoil against their suicidal choices.<\/p>\n

In Chicago a law and order choice is emerging<\/a> to challenge the pop-eyed lunacy of Lori Lightfoot.\u00a0 In San Francisco a recall vote is poised to remove their criminally negligent District Attorney Chesa Boudin<\/a> from office.\u00a0 Do I find these developments hopeful or encouraging?\u00a0 Not at all.\u00a0 The people in these cities are absolute fools.\u00a0 Any temporary respite from the insanity they are currently experiencing will bring them right back to the same positions on police and criminals that got them into their present disaster.<\/p>\n

When they recall their district attorney, they\u2019ll substitute an idiot that\u2019s just one click less absurd than Boudin.\u00a0 And if Lightfoot is replaced with a law-and-order mayor the city council and the rest of the establishment will work to undermine the authority and actions of the new mayor.<\/p>\n

No, there\u2019s no shortcut to fixing these cities.\u00a0 They will have to hit bottom.\u00a0 It will have to get so bad that the liberals will be forced to run away.\u00a0 That will leave the remaining poor people with the chance to learn from their stupidity and act sanely.<\/p>\n

But even in red states and with blue cities this lunacy also exists.\u00a0 It seems to me that if there is ever to be an end to all this dysfunction, a state government has to initiate new laws to intercede where local governments have failed their citizens.\u00a0 So, the governor of Texas should see what\u2019s going on in Austin or some other blue Texas city and intervene when its local government enacts some crack pot legislation that harms its own citizens.\u00a0 Whether it\u2019s allowing homeless people to invade a neighborhood or declaring itself a sanctuary city for illegal aliens or electing a district attorney that refuses to prosecute felons the state should have a plan to override these activities and even prosecute elected officials who enact such insane things.<\/p>\n

Something like that should have been done during the George Floyd riots.\u00a0 Large mobs of looters and arsonists should have been confronted by National Guard units and been warned to disperse or risk arrest or worse.\u00a0 I guarantee they would have disappeared into the night, never to be heard from again.<\/p>\n

The first governor who starts thinking, talking and acting this way will be vilified by the press and acclaimed a hero by his own citizens.\u00a0 And it\u2019s a cinch that he\u2019d be copied by twenty other red state governors almost immediately.\u00a0 Who knows, there might be a few blue states that would elect a copycat republican governor who ran on a similar platform of cleaning up the urban decay and taking strong action against criminals and lawlessness.<\/p>\n

But this is happy-happy talk.\u00a0 We\u2019re nowhere near any of this.\u00a0 The appearance of a strong man willing to stand up to Washington and take drastic action against anarchists and urban progressive lunatics hasn\u2019t come to fruition yet.\u00a0 DeSantis has taken the first steps.\u00a0 He\u2019s challenged some of the blue cities on specific points but he hasn\u2019t taken them on head on.\u00a0 Maybe his state doesn\u2019t have those kinds of cities.\u00a0 I\u2019d assume that Miami would be like that but maybe I\u2019m wrong.\u00a0 But when we start to hear about that kind of strong action against progressive lunacy then we\u2019ll know something real is happening in the country.\u00a0 Let\u2019s hope it starts sooner than later.\u00a0 We could use it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
