Irony is best described as a quirk or twist of fate. Today we are going to wade through the swamp of irony that is both well deserved and absolutely laughable.
Today’s New York Post contained an article that caught my attention.
Paragraph one therein is as follows:
“Minneapolis City Council members, who just two months ago moved to eliminate the police department, sounded the alarm during a Wednesday meeting about a surge in crime seen by their constituents.”
What that point is depends upon who is asked. Answers varying from justice, equality, economic fairness, reparations, and defunding the police, are just a few.
One anarchistic group calling themselves Black Lives Matter has been terrorizing peoples of all colors simply because they can. They have burned down square city blocks of businesses, torn apart established communities, and are now threatening peaceful, unattached diners, for no apparent reason other than they are mentally challenged.
Cars have been destroyed, stores looted, innocent protestors wounded or killed, all in the name of some inane cause that permits bullies to wreak havoc.
This months-long generation of wholesale carnage has been largely ignored by most of the media. In case you’re asking yourself, “Why?” it is because the large majority of those aforementioned “activists” are Democrats living in Democrat-controlled cities.
Local politicians who include mayors, council people, district attorneys, and police chiefs, in these now burned-out ghettoes, are predominantly black, but always socialist-leaning.
They seem to desire the power of the pulpit, so to speak, so much so, that politicians will gladly jeopardize the lives and property of their constituents. That is certainly evident through the latest figures from insurance companies regarding the claims written thus far.
Since the death of George Floyd on Memorial Day weekend, 2020, opportunists, anarchists, thugs, and protestors, have been creating chaos – some peaceful, some not – to make a point.
Estimates upward of $2,000,000,000, is modest as of today. Of course the personal losses of photos, mementos, antiques, and other irreplaceable items – not to mention human lives – are certainly incalculable. But those self-centered thugs don’t care.

His cohorts on the City Council appear to the rest of the world as over-privileged snots that have no respect for anyone or anything other than themselves.
For two months, many of the Council members have been pandering to the violent animal looters and miscreants by demanding their police department be defunded. You read that correctly. These pukes want to remove safety and security further from the lives of Minnesotans by DEFUNDING THE POLICE.
Of course, by defunding, they mean taking tactics, equipment, and money away from those sworn officers dedicated to the protection of the populace-at-large. The brilliant idea from this brain trust of elected morons is to have the “re-imagined” police department not enforce the laws.
Rather, the former cops would become social workers to intervene in instances of domestic abuse or lost pets. Gone would be guns and cars with flashing lights and sirens. Those would be beat into plowshares for community gardens, I presume.
It seems as though after several months of bad-mouthing their law enforcement community, the Minneapolis City Council has hit a brick wall trying to determine the cause of the reason for the Minneapolis Police Department’s apparent lack of enthusiasm in enforcing laws.
Who would have thunk it?
The people who oversee you and your job have made their lack of confidence in the police department clear. They have been pandering to the troublemakers without concern for unity or cohesion, but are now baffled as to why the police department is not doing its job.
Smokey the Cat has this all figured out.
Perhaps it’s the Mayor, the City Council, and the State’s Attorney General that need to be defunded.
Nah, where would we get our entertainment from?
