Hey, ProfD!

[aka Contrarian]

              BEARS WIN!

 

Ok,OK. Exhibition game without regulars but, still -  exciting game. Great win.

Ooops! I thought they scored. Well, good tie.lol!

[ProfD]

@aka Contrarian, NFL is back.

 

Diehard fans will take whatever we can get including pre-season games.

 

i watched most of Da Bears match-up against the Dolphins.

 

Of course, QB Caleb Williams and most of the #1s didn't play.

 

Hopefully, the new Bears coaching staff will be able to build a winning team around solid pieces already in place.

 

My Redskins/Commanders looked like hot garbage on Friday night. Very few starters played but still...giving up a TD on opening kick-off is not a good look.

 

Well, da Bears and Commanders won't face off during regular season. If both teams make the playoffs...it could happen. Stay tuned....

I think it is totally ridiculous. But, I'm not surprised.

 

Federalizing DC is consistent with what POTUS OJ promised to deliver to his base supporters in terms of hyper-white nationalism. 

 

I do not believe this stunt will be sustained beyond 30 days. Congress won't uphold it.

 

Otherwise, I'm sitting back with my popcorn watching how this clown administration and circus continues over 3.5 years. 

 

Time flies. I look forward to the fallout being in our rearview like the pandemic.

An American citizen actually living IN the United States watching the antics of the Trump Administration for entertainment is like pulling up a chair on the corner and watching 2 rival street gangs bang on eachother.

You're not exactly in the safe zone yourself....lol.

I believe Trump...just like the Presidents before him....COULD drastically reduce crime if he wanted to but he won't.
This is just for show.
Kind of like the immigration raids.
I see just as many Latinos running around today as I did last year.
So WHO are they detaining?
Where are these raids being conducted because they haven't hit West Michigan yet...lol.

They don't want to reduce crime they want to CONTROL crime and violence and keep it contained in certain communities.
Some people were outraged over the killing of that intern and of that Jewish couple a few months back and demanded something be done, so this is the response.
Not a serious one but one for show.

They NEED crime to keep the economy going....and growing.

Right. The ICE raids and calling the national guard into cities is all about controlling Black and Brown people.

The national guard was called into DC because a former DOGE employee and a lady were in a carjacking situation.

Absolutely. Especially among Black and Brown folks.

 

They're not raiding and over-policing areas where white mass shooters live.

 

The highest crime rates are in white cities. No national guard being deployed there.

 

The whole objective is to make white people in America feel safe as their population is being overtaken by minorities collectively.

 

Nevermind that white folks own and control the infrastructure.  They want to be omnipotent.

[Pioneer1]

The mistake I DO think a lot of Black Mayors and other politicians are making right now is publicly decrying Trump's move to put National Guards in cities to reduce crime.
As I said, it's nothing more than a political stunt but the OPTICS of it serves many purposes.
One of which....like you said...is to make White people in America feel safer.
But another is to put a Black face on crime in America and make it look like it's Black people who are causing the crime and violence in the United State.

Black politicians coming on and standing to a podium to voice opposition to it makes it look like they SUPPORT the crime and violence, when we know that's not the case.



I've been noticing an uptick these past few weeks of images of Black people being attached to crime and violence in the media.
It used to be all about Chicago....now they're focusing on Cincinnati, D.C. , Baltimore, Houston, and other areas.
Every time a car is stolen....and a Black person did it....they have it on national headline news along with the face of the suspect.
Adding to the propaganda.

Black politicians need to find a way to reduce crime and increase the standard of living in their jurisdictions but meanwhile they need to find a way to make THEMSELVES look like the ones who reduce crime and get the criminals and thugs off the street; not racist White politicians.
They need to be on the front lines of the media propaganda war to make THEMSELVES look like the law-n-order good guys.

I’m not sure what you guess are talking about, crime rates are down continuing a long term trend. Car thief is way down, more than other categories.

POTUS OJ is spouting the exact opposite.  According to him, crime is way out of control especially in cities that happen to be run by Democrats with large minority populations.

idk.

 

I'm pessimistic and think that this issue will be a great devastation.

This is a serious offense against the human 'race'!

OMG!!!

Honestly, I believed that this was the plan hatched at the time of the 911 attacks and before former President Obama became president.

I believe that is why he did not support Reparations but instead became the decoy so that this American government could do the opposite. 

I believe that the National Guards are sent in to attack the homeless and define them as criminals. 

They've already mowed down 75 homeless sites! Where are these people going to go?

Non-Black people are going to be hurt too, but this will hurt many African Americans.

 

This is human sacrifice. Black Americans need to say that we are descendants of Slave Children and not merely DOS.

This government enslaved millions of little African children and we are the product of that today. 

Now, they want to say that African Americans are a problem, homeless, jobless as if it's are fault completely. 

This is why the Bible refers to many as 'the CHILDREN OF ISRAEL'. It's not that we are specifically 'children' but due to deliberate acts of stealing children and hundreds of years of deprivation, as adults, we are in essence 'children' and lack proper knowledge of how the government has exploited us. 

Look, I graduated from a Black college! I graduated from an HBCU and did not even know about 'the Eyes on the Prize' film until I went to the public library and browsed.

Alot of history about the Civil Rights Movement is not part of the American curriculum. 

Many countries in other parts of the world know much more about us over here that we do! 

 

Not only will Black males be destitute being forced out of homeless shelters, but so will many Black mothers. So, what about the children?

Are they going to round up the homeless now, and force them into Florida Alcatraz or some other concentration camp?

idk this sounds pretty bad.

Hopefully, Black mayors and other city leaders will make accommodations for the  homeless. Similar to the way they've been providing shelter, food and clothing for illegal immigrants.

If you didn't want anybody else to participate in your little thread to ProfD, you would have just PM'd the brutha.

Get outta here. There's nothing to leave alone. I never complained about anybody coming on this thread. That was the self-serving scenario that you in your straw man mode created in order to control the narrative. 

I merely made an amused observation about you doing what you had previously accused me of doing.

Didn't make me any difference if people wanted to come on here and blow off steam about Trump and his ulterior motives. Unlike you, I'm not threatened by the input of others.

Your transparency is pathetic.

Buffalo is a good team. Made the playoffs last year.

 

Teams use pre-season games to evaluate players. Most teams do not put their best players on the field.

 

Therefore, pre-season games do not indicate how good or bad a team will be during the regular season.

Thanks for checking on me.

 

I'm still around here polluting threads.

 

The BS happening in DC doesn't affect me at all.

 

However, in traveling throughout the city, I can type that it's all political theater. 

 

It will be interesting to see how things change in the city when the 30 days of occupation ends.

[aka Contrarian]

Looks like the National  Guard is on its way to Chicago.

 

Unfotunately the holiday weekend has been a pretty violent one. Shootings and killings of the kind that a military presence can't prevent. Just fools offing each other spontaneously or over vendettas.  Whatever.

I heard Mayor Brandon Johnson has signed an executive order that Chicago police aren't working alongside the National Guard if when they show up.

 

Mayor Johnson and Gov. JB Pritzker are doubling down in their defiance of the administration's threatening hostile takeover of law enforcement.

Unless the National Guard shows up on the South side and West side of Chicago where the shootings and killings pop off, nothing will change. 

 

As I've mentioned, local law enforcement could clamp down on crime and stop the carnage in Chicago if they were mandated and/or incentivized to do so.

 

Chicago police already have an idea of where crime is going to happen and who will be committing it.

 

Then, there's the community that also knows who, what, when and where...

[aka Contrarian]

So many of the shootings seem to be impulsive or one-on-one crimes that don't involve robbery or burglery. 

To me, it's about gun control not police or troops. 

Folks have just lost their respect for human life.

52 shot and 7 dead doesn't read like impulse. My guess would be beefs and disputes.

I don't believe these n8gglets are using registered and licensed guns to shoot each other.

 

Gun control won't keep those weapons off the street.

 

I believe guns that are not sold on the black market are being recirculated by dirty law enforcementt officers.

 

Confiscated and turned in guns end up back on the streets.

That sad reality has been ongoing since the late 1980s when murder rates skyrocketed especially due to folks selling drugs and settling their differences with firearms.

 

Gang bangers took it to another level with their ignorance and foolishness.

[aka Contrarian]

One of the recent killings involved a 5 year old being shot and killed by an adult female relative.

I know young kids can try your patience but - come on, now...

I always like it, however,  when a person being robbed pulls out their own gun and shoots the robber.

IF Trump sends the National Guard or federal officers to Chicago...and that's a big "if"....they're going to do the same thing they're doing in D.C.

NOTHING.
...to actually solve the violence and crime problem.

If they go, he'll make sure they go to the downtown and tourist areas where they'll be VISIBLY present and make wealthy White folks feel safe and protected.
He's not sending them to the hoods where the gangs dwell and the violence is really going down; because reducing violence is NOT his priority.

I watched that entire game.  Despite being a divisional rival, it is only the 1st game of the season. 

 

New coaching staff and system might provide QB Caleb Williams with a window to get it right.

 

However, it's been reported that HC Ben Johnson is a seriously no-nonsense and curt guy. 

 

Also, Da Bears signed backup QB Tyson Bagent to a 2-years, $10 million deal. 

 

QB Caleb Williams window won't stay open for too long.
