It’s Going to Be a Long, Very Hot Summer in Blue Cities

Expect more riots. More political assassination attempts (hopefully thwarted). More attacks on Jews and synagogues. 

More of everything that is tearing our society apart. 

Tens or hundreds of millions of dollars are flooding into radical organizations from billionaires both here and abroad, and God knows how much from the Chinese Communist Party. Democrats have been doubling down on their violent rhetoric, even after the latest assassination attempt on Donald Trump. 

Expect it to get worse, not better. The ICE riots in Minneapolis took place during a nasty cold snap, yet the protesters turned out. Nurses described their murder fantasies of using drugs to paralyze and kill agents, hotel workers tipped off protesters who stormed hotels, and restaurant workers posted about poisoning the food of law enforcement officers.

And that was all about defending rapists and paedos. The riots over the summer will be about everything, because they are not about the issues, but about the Revolution™. 

Completely out of control.

Very bad times ahead for New York. https://t.co/miEvbxHwp4

Riots at synagogues will become a thing, and if you don’t expect that random Jews will be targeted for beatings or perhaps worse, you are being naive. The level of rage being directed at them is off the charts, and the Democratic Party is basically endorsing it.

We are investigating this, in addition to a prior hostile incident outside this Manhattan synagogue. @CivilRights https://t.co/vkbqcr41Nv

I expect looting, more shootings on the street. It got very little attention, but there was a shooting on the Washington Mall of a man with a gun who was watching Vice President Vance’s limousine. It’s unclear if there was a threat to him, but there will be.

Texas Man Charged in Shooting at Secret Service Agent Near the Washington Monument on the National Mall

“We will prove this defendant carried an illegal firearm into the heart of Washington, D.C., opened fire at Secret Service officers near a crowded intersection, and shot an innocent bystander who was simply crossing the street with his family,” said @USAttyPirro. “My office will pursue the most serious charges available against anyone who brings gun violence to our streets, particularly when that violence unfolds steps from the seat of our government and the path of the Vice President of the United States.

Add to the political violence the general mayhem found on Blue city streets.

Most of them ended up abandoning their bikes and running on foot

Nine people were arrested, including one who tried to hide in the water. Police also recovered two firearms and impounded several vehicles used in the takeover

During the George Floyd riots in 2020, much of the destruction was in the service of looting, not to make a political statement. We remember the burning down of the Third Precinct and all the political statements, but for many, the riots were just an excuse to loot and destroy. Lawlessness begets lawlessness. 

NEW: Man apparently gets his car stolen and woman gets hit by a car during a Bay Bridge street takeover.

Hundreds of people gathered and blocked traffic so they could do donuts in the middle of the street.

Antifa is ready. The No Kings people are ready. Schools and colleges will soon be out, so the ground troops will be available. All they are waiting for is for all the stars to align, and the rioting will begin. 

This is a prediction, not a news report. I see everything building, but I have been wrong before. Perhaps I am too cynical, but I expect this summer to be bad in preparation for the midterms.
