These guys are hilarious. One is just a tad less coherent then JB and the other can't get out of his own way. One is a hack and a perv and the other is a sexist.
 
I guess Matt Gaetz realizes he has no political career left so he is free to claim that "Replacement Theory" as espoused by Carson and Stefaniak is "race-neutral".
 
‘Numbers don’t lie’​
Over the past decade, the Anti-Defamation League has counted about 450 U.S. murders committed by political extremists.​
Of these 450 killings, right-wing extremists committed about 75 percent. Islamic extremists were responsible for about 20 percent, and left-wing extremists were responsible for 4 percent.​
Nearly half of the murders were specifically tied to white supremacists:​
 
...and the beat goes on...

The shooting in Buffalo on Saturday has horrified Americans, but it was massacre as usual in Chicago this weekend and few outside the Windy City noticed.

At least 33 people were shot, five fatally, according to police. Five of the victims were in the 1st police district, which covers the downtown Loop and Near South Side. The city’s daily mayhem isn’t limited to high-crime neighborhoods but has spread to busy commercial areas. Shootings in the 1st district are up 60% over last year.

Sixteen-year-old Seandell Holliday was shot in the chest and killed in downtown Millennium Park. He’s the 97th child shot and 20th slain this year. The previous weekend 24 people were shot, six fatally.

Mayor Lori Lightfoot and Chicago’s politicians haven’t stopped the violence, and on Sunday she announced that unaccompanied minors will no longer be allowed in Millennium Park after 6 p.m. Thursday through Sunday. Chicago has long had an 11 p.m. city-wide curfew for minors, but Ms. Lightfoot said on Monday that she would bump it up to 10 p.m. on the weekends.

“This restriction aims to build a culture of care in our public spaces instead of using police enforcement to criminalize our youth,” the mayor’s spokeswoman Kate LeFurgy told us.

If you want to understand Chicago’s public-order problem in a nutshell, there it is. Normal policing is considered criminalizing youth, as opposed to getting criminals off the streets. Instead the mayor won’t let unaccompanied teens visit a city park alone in the evenings on weekends. Does anyone really believe this will make a difference, assuming it is even enforced?

Between 2020 and 2021, Chicago cut its police budget by some $63 million. The city has since restored and increased funding, but it has also reduced the size of its authorized police force by eliminating more than 600 vacancies between 2019 and 2022.

The cops know they lack political support to do their dangerous jobs and have responded by resigning and retiring en masse. Chicago now has 1,343 fewer sworn officers than it did in May 2020. Get ready for more bloody weekends this summer.
