Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

Cool, Nothing To See Here, America

Some embittered, overly armed white dude shot up a Waffle House. Another angry dude wearing a MAGA hat pushed a Hispanic guy in front of a train.

The Waffle House shooter was disarmed by an African American, and the subway guy was also African American.  I'm going to take a wild guess who Fox News is going to focus on.  It will be difficult, given that the subway pusher was wearing a MAGA hat, so it will be a "false flag operation" designed to make Glorious Orange Leader look bad.  Meanwhile, the young man who wrestled the gun away from the Waffle House shooter will likely disappear to everyone except those whose lives he saved.

Good thing it was a Waffle House and not a Philly Starbucks.
