The Morning Briefing: Commie Democrat Psychopaths Are in Crime Denial

Top O’ the Briefing

Happy Thursday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing Friends. My first act as president will be an executive order requiring that all celebrity baby names be reviewed by a panel of sane people.

I would never presume to try and figure out the minds of Democrats, but every once in a while I am overcome by the urge to grab one and shake him until he tells me what alien planet he lives on.

Yeesh, these people and their alternative realities.

The farther left one of them goes, the more removed from reality they become. For the longest time, I thought that they were all merely pathological liars. Most are, of course, but I am now beginning to believe that some of them are in the midst of a full psychotic break.

To the surprise of no one on the conservative side of the political aisle, the Dem-controlled cities that are run by BLM/Antifa fans have been experiencing… struggles with crime since they were gripped by the “defund the police” frenzy in 2020.

Many of these cities hurried to hit the reset button and re-fund their police forces in an effort to combat crime. Cops haven’t exactly been willing to rush back in droves to municipalities that were gleefully giving them the finger in the name of wokeness just a year ago, but at least the people in charge are admitting there’s a problem.

That stands in sharp contrast to the approach recently taken by prominent Democrats in a couple of America’s biggest crime-riddled hellholes: Chicago and Philadelphia.

Kevin has a story about Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s “thinking outside the box” solution to her city’s infestation of thieves. She’s opted for victim shaming:

I’m disappointed that they’re not doing more to take safety and make it a priority. For example, we still have retailers that won’t institute plans like having security officers in their stores, making sure that they’ve got cameras that are actually operational, locking up their merchandise at night, chaining high-end bags. These purses can be something that is attracting a lot of organized retail theft units,”

“If only she hadn’t worn that dress…”

Stupid stores with your wares that attract the eyes of lawless scum! Why can’t you hire some aging, overweight security guards and stop making your mayor look bad? Ingrates!

By the way, Chicago is having its worst murder year since 1994 while Mayor Mouthfoot is playing make-believe.

Let us move on to Philadelphia, the City of Brotherly Thugs. Rick writes about the city’s district attorney, who wants the public to know that EVERYTHING IS FINE:

Larry Krasner, the Soros-backed District Attorney in Philadelphia, wants everyone in the city to know that he’s got things under control. Sure, there’s been a record spike in homicides, but besides that, everything in Philly is just peachy.

“We don’t have a crisis of lawlessness, we don’t have a crisis of crime, we don’t have a crisis of violence,” the district attorney told reporters at a Monday press conference. “It’s important that we don’t let this become mushy and bleed into the notion that there is some kind of big spike in crime. There isn’t. There is not a big spike in crime. … There is not a big spike in violent crime. Neither one of these things is true.”

Rick goes on to explain that Krasner is engaging in some political sleight of hand here. Krasner is able to say that crime isn’t spiking because he simply isn’t prosecuting criminals who would have been prosecuted in the past. Progressive DAs are almost always pro-criminal.

Oh, wait… Philly is also in the midst of a frightening increase in homicides. The city has suffered its highest body count since 1960.

So, there is no real problem as long as you ignore the dead guy on your lawn.

Both of these cities have been electing Democrats for decades, so it is difficult to feel much in the way of pity for them. Maybe they should seriously consider not voting like paste-eaters going forward.

Nah, better just go hire a mall cop and not pay any attention to the smell of rotting corpse coming from the alley.

Everything Isn’t Awful

An 8-year old girl and her mother were driving when they stopped to help a group of bikers who were in an accident.

The mother, who happened to be a nurse, helped treat the victims.

The next year, the girl opened a lemonade stand.

This is how the bikers came to say thank you. pic.twitter.com/u0xYrgDSRl
