Mob rule cancels law enforcement as facts are ignored

A tragic error has devolved into a police officer becoming the easy sacrifice to quell rioting mobs

Kim Potter, a 26-year veteran Brooklyn Center, Minnesota — now former police officer — was formally charged with second degree manslaughter Wednesday, after making a deadly error and pulling her service revolver instead of the taser she was reaching for. The charge carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison.

Body cam footage shows she repeatedly warned 20-year-old Daunte Wright, who was attempting to flee, “I’ll tase you! I’ll tase you! Taser! Taser! Taser!” To propel the legal lynching of Officer Potter, a married mother and career officer, mobs have so far rioted and looted over four days.

Though Wright is being portrayed as an innocent, police attempted to arrest him over an open felony warrant that stemmed from this aggravated robbery charge* in which he was accused of choking and threatening to shoot a woman if she did not give him her money.

The Daily Wire reports that U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) responded to the shooting by claiming on Twitter, without evidence, that the shooting “wasn’t an accident.”

“It wasn’t an accident,” Tlaib, the daughter of Palestinian immigrants stated. “Daunte Wright was met with aggression & violence. I am done with those who condone government funded murder. No more policing, incarceration, and militarization. It can’t be reformed.”

You read that right. A member of the U.S. Congress, a democrat, of course, whose parents presumably came here to embrace our liberty-based existence and ensure a better life for their family, has boldly stated that she not only desires to defund the police, she wants to obliterate them, along with  jails, prisons and whatever falls into her concept of “militarization.”

Rashida Tlaib is not alone. Far-left extremist U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) shared Talib’s views on Twitter.

Joyous Easter wishes…

…and the flawed advisability of mixing leftist politics and religion

On this holiday we are taking the unusual step of including a thought provoking editorial by Wayne Allyn Root, posted today on Townhall. Regardless of your religion, we recommend, “An Important Easter Sunday Message for the Catholic Church, Major League Baseball and Delta Airlines.” It could be any church and the thrust of the message would be the same, though this specifically exposes the duplicity of Father Milton Ryan, a priest at Holy Trinity Church in Dallas, Texas.

Is a fair trial possible for ex-officer Derek Chauvin?

The trial of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, charged with second-degree and third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter in the death of violent career criminal and repeatedly incarcerated*George Floyd, is scheduled to start this morning. Three other former officers who witnessed the incident will be tried together in a separate trial scheduled for Aug. 23, 2021.

Chauvin’s defense attorney will be eclipsed by four prosecutors led by DNC chief, Minnesota Attorney General and former congressman Keith Ellison. He was also elected despite allegations of abuse from his former girlfriend.

Jury selection was hampered by widespread knowledge of the ill-timed, and many would argue — ill-conceived — $27 million settlement the Minneapolis City Council unanimously voted to award Floyd’s family.

On cue, Rev. Al Sharpton, a radical race-baiter who’s never had a congregation, organized hundreds to a Sunday night prayer vigil to “honor” George Floyd on the eve of the murder trial.

Unemployed 46-year-old George Floyd, aka Floyd Perry, was resisting arrest as he was apprehended for attempting to pass a counterfeit $20 dollar bill in a store. As his autopsy report verifies, he was 6’4”tall, weighed 223 pounds, tested positive for COVID-19 and was high on drugs. Yet he became the rallying cry for malicious BLM looters and arsonists who mounted destructive demonstrations in numerous American cities, and called for defunding the police.

Will this Minneapolis police body cam exonerating footage be shown at the trial? It needs to be.

Biden releases infected illegals into U.S., Dr. Fauci stays mum

NumbersUSA posts a disturbing report verifying what most Americans are rightly concerned about. In its zeal to be the antithesis of all President Trump and his administration represented, frail Biden’s handlers have not only stopped border wall construction, they have opened the border floodgates, throwing out the welcome mat to all comers, without mandating COVID testing.

As Americans are told we must roll up our sleeves to be vaccinated against the coronavirus or risk being denied the ability to work, travel, attend school, and visit with extended family, or gather at sporting or entertainment venues, hundreds of thousands from counties near and far illegally breach our border and once here, fan out across the entire United States.

Yet this morning on “Meet the Press,” Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and adviser to Joe Biden, issued a warning to state leaders against the “risky business” of eliminating public health measures, declaring that the nation could see a new surge in cases if it lets its guard down.

Does this arrogant dolt, who recently urged the wearing of two masks, ever speak to puppet Joe Biden or are his interactions limited to Joe’s mouthpiece Jen Psaki or other string pullers?

As per the continually updating COVID-19 tracker, there have been more than 29 million coronavirus cases in the U.S., and over 538,000 deaths attributed to the virus. But the 7-day average of new cases is estimated at 57,000, still too many, but the lowest it’s been since October.

“Even though the decline was steep, we absolutely need to avoid the urge to say; ‘Oh, everything is going great,’” Fauci said.

Fauci, who revels in making the network rounds, appeared as a virtual guest with Stephen Colbert Friday night, and used the opportunity to bash former President Donald Trump. The left-wing duo conveniently failed to remember that it was Pres. Trump who expedited vaccine production and distribution through Operation Warp Speed.

Here is a reminder of Fauci hobbing and nobbing in 2001 with the titans of globalism, including Socialist billionaire George Soros along with Bill Gates’ father who was the head of Planned Parenthood and leftist media honchos who framed the news to fit their agenda. 

AZ newspaper maligns GOP elected officials, mischaracterizes legislation

SRAZ frequently reminds our readers that the Arizona Republic has deservedly hit hard times. As it became ever more emaciated even prior to becoming homeless, it swapped out longtime more costly employees for ASU journalism students with limited skills though packed with politically correct terminology.  A recent report used the touchy feely term “reached out” three times in a single article, with the word “contacted’ relegated to the trash heap. Steering clear of sex-based verbiage, headlines declare “a person was shot,” or “pregnant people” rather than women. Gannett’s stock which peaked at $91.00 on April 6, 2004, has plummeted to record lows, falling to $4.96 at the closing bell on February 26, 2021, providing proof positive that insulting their few remaining readers is not a good business model.

Subscribers began peeling away in record numbers after the ill-advised, presidential endorsement of deceitful Hillary …“despite her flaws.” The editorial board is so bonded to the left, it was unable to accurately gauge the solid support for Donald Trump, who sailed to victory in 2016.

Still it felt emboldened by the election of the two hard-left U.S. Senators Mark Kelly and Kyrsten Sinema for the first time since 1953 when Barry Goldwater defeated Ernest McFarland and Carl Hayden, initially elected in 1926, finally retired from the senate in 1969 at age 91. Hayden was first elected Maricopa County treasurer and sheriff years before Arizona gained statehood in 1912, which underscores democrats’ bonding to political entrenchment.

Newly elected Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly, an open-border proponent with close and lucrative ties to China, is the founder of Giffords PAC, a Second Amendment restrictionist group targeting national Republican candidates, calling for stricter gun controls and vowing to gut what he refers to as “the gun lobby.” His fellow former astronauts blistered Kelly. Following Sinema’s deceptive path, slickster Kelly made no mention of his party affiliation in any of his campaign ads.

The two Republican members of congress the radical newspaper is currently targeting are Paul Gosar (CD4) and Andy Biggs (CD5) who serve alongside fellow conservatives David Schweikert, (CD 6) and Debbie Lesko (CD8). There was no ire expressed when a democrat candidate who lost her medical license due to deadly medical malpractice, carpetbagged across the Valley from her Glendale residence to run in a Scottsdale/Fountain Hills district against Schweikert, losing yet again, as she deceptively wore medical scrubs in her ads with a stethoscope around her neck.

In Sunday’s edition, Biggs rated multi-pages of abuse. Gosar, Schweilert and Lesko have all received similar contrivances, while their deceptive democrat counterparts, get the kid glove treatment. This morning editorialist Elvia Diaz haughtily advises Republican Maricopa County Attorney Allister Adel to drop all charges against 15 violent BLM thugs, “to prove she’s not like…her Republican predecessors.”

Columnist E.J. Montini, a shill for the democrat party, feigns opportunities to deceitfully accuse Republicans of “voter suppression.”

The radically leftist Arizona newspaper never devoted a single word to Joe Biden being caught in cash for influence scandal which was initially exposed by the New York Post and further substantiated when son Hunter’s incriminating laptop revealed even more corrupt connections.

Help put the deceitful newspaper out of its misery. If you still subscribe to the Trump-hating, conservative-loathing Arizona Republic, it’s past time to cancel. Call 1-800-332-6733.

The wacko party’s aberrant priorities

The Heritage Foundation explains the “Equality Act,” otherwise known as H.R. 5. The article is subtitled, “How Could Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (SOGI) Laws Affect You?”

In view of the Biden administration’s thrust to prioritize sexual orientation and gender identity issues in an era of massive unemployment as the result of the coronavirus pandemic, it’s of utmost importance that you acquaint yourself with this disastrous and far-reaching legislation that undermines reason, constitutional protections and religious values. The democrat sponsor is Rhode Island U.S. Rep. David Cicilline, featured in the Advocate’s article, “Meet the 10 Gay, Lesbian, and Bisexual Members of the 116th Congress, lauded by the LGBTQ Victory Institute, as a “turning point in the history of federal lawmaking.”

Democrats are no longer simply the “other” political party. They have veered off into trendy aberrant arenas that most of us never heard of before the advent of Bruce Jenner morphing into Caitlyn, and which are not the purview of government. Glamour magazine named the former three time husband and father of six biological children and four stepchildren, ‘Woman of the Year,’ in 2015 as a tribute to his/her work in “transgender awareness and advocacy.” Jenner’s acceptance speech was described as “powerful and moving.”

California’s legislative assembly has recently put forth Assembly Bill 1084 requiring “gender neutral” departments in retail stores, banishing specific areas for boys and girl‘s clothing and even toys. Violators would be subject to $1,000 fines.

This is the state that welcomes unvetted illegal aliens during a global pandemic, while American citizens are unemployed and as elitist California Gov. Gavin Newsom has selectively enforced business lockdowns, unilaterally deciding whose jobs are essential. California citizens, who are waging a recall against Newsom, will ultimately have the last word. We wish them well.

Although they continue to be paid, unionized public school teachers still refuse to return to the classroom. In the 2020 election cycle,* the country’s most influential  educrat dominated teachers unions endorsed and supported Biden and democrat senate candidates over their Republican counterparts. The American Federation of Teachers donated $2 million to Priorities USA Action, a democrat super PAC that spent $44.2 million supporting Biden. The National Education Association gave $500,000 to Take Back 2020, another democrat super PAC that spent $6.4 million to run ads supporting Biden. The AFT also gave $175,000 to Take Back 2020. Teachers unions spent a total of $43.7 million in 2020. Remember that the next time you hear teachers are underpaid for their part-time jobs, with long holiday and full summer vacations not accorded any other workers.

AZ Republic’s columnist compares Republicans to Commie dictator

SRAZ has frequently linked to a Phoenix Business Journal report verifying that Arizona’s newspaper of record is on its last legs. It’s not simply floundering. It’s failing so badly that its subscription rate is the lowest of all 200 newspapers in Gannett’s nationwide stable. That’s not a business model to emulate. In fact, it’s a recipe for disaster. Yet no one is doing more to send reasonable readers fleeing the inflamed rhetoric of the Hillary-endorsing newspaper than its Johnny-One-Note employee, E.J. Montini.

The emaciated columnist who has had no other employer since his early 20’s has reached retirement age, and should pack up his loathing of conservatism and ride off into the sunset. But for the loner with no outlet for his venom spew, this is not an option. Montini, a perpetually irate man possessing a murky relationship with honesty, has nowhere to go.

The only alternative for the newspaper’s survival is to cease the expensive to produce and deliver hard copy editions and switch to all digital. But with news available in everyone’s pocket and free of charge in a wide array of formats, even that attempt at continued existence is iffy at best.  What’s left of the dwindling readership is the senior demographic which leans hard right. They led the Trump supporters and Rush Limbaugh loyalists. And unlike the undereducated millennium voters who supported socialist Bernie Sanders, they are knowledgeable about the destructive evils of socialism and communism, having lost relatives or fought in wars themselves, to eradicate those freedom suffocating evils. But leftist Montini, who never served his country, has no problem comparing Arizona Republican state legislators to the “disinformation campaign” of  Russia’s brutal Communist dictator Joseph Stalin, who was responsible for the suffering and deaths of millions. Unfortunately, the aged columnist has never exhibited the capacity to feel shame for his deceit.

Even the leftist newspaper has a yellow banner above Montini’s irrational  column (to which we did not link) stating, “This piece expresses the views of its author(s) separate from the views of this publication.”

Obviously, that’s difficult to believe. The newspaper’s entire perspective is radically left, and it still keeps this brazen liar on the payroll.

US Rep. Debbie Lesko target of leftist newspaper’s lies

Representing her constituents jump-starts negative campaign

Vile hatred of Republicans oozes from the ink of the dying Arizona Republic newspaper. Not only was there a daily onslaught against President Trump throughout his candidacy and term in office, but each of the Arizona GOP members of congress are in its cross-hairs. They have all been the subject of negative editorials and wild mischaracterizations. Truth is a mere annoyance that plays no role in the ongoing attempt to sully Arizona’s Republican delegation.

The latest incendiary headline, focusing on District 8 Congresswoman Debbie Lesko, is a case in point. Though a contemptible lie we are reprinting it since so few Arizonans subscribe that merely alluding to it has no real impact. These are the words the newspaper actually used as a headline:

“Lesko says Americans need COVID shot, not Hispanics.”

It’s ludicrous enough to appear to be misread. But there was no mistake.  This intentional deceit is laying the groundwork to amass an arsenal of venom to hurl at Lesko during her 2022 reelection campaign. In November 2020 Lesko, who previously served in the AZ House and Senate and as Senate President Pro-Tempore, trounced her democrat challenger 59.56% to 40.43% — a nearly 20 point spread.

What the absurd headlined article intentionally distorted was Lesko’s rational explanation that American citizens should be prioritized as limited dosages of vaccine are distributed.

“You know, we’re compassionate people, but for goodness sakes, we have to take care of American citizens, or people that are here legally, first,” Lesko said. “I’m just not going to be able to explain to my senior citizens that we’re giving away the vaccines to people who are here illegally. I think that’s totally wrong.”

On U.S. Rep. Lesko’s congressional homepage is an entire section devoted to Coronavirus. This page is specifically titled in bold type VACCINE INFORMATION and provides numerous sites to obtain the vaccine in CD8 as well as links to Maricopa County’s website and Arizona Department of Health Services websites for county and statewide vaccine information.

The daily newspaper is a prolific dispensary of deceit, which is why it’s dying. Tired of having your intelligence insulted? If you still subscribe, cancel. Call 1-800-332-6733.

Not only is it liberating, you’ll save a bundle of money that can be put to better use than paying the salaries of those who hate you and the Republicans you support and vote for.

Gallup wrong: USA needs honest media, not third party

The spiking political frustration of many Americans is manifesting itself in the results of a newly released Gallup poll which concludes only 33% of Americans believe the two major political parties are doing an adequate job representing the public.

According to Gallup, Americans’ desire for a third party has ticked up since last fall and now sits at a high in Gallup’s trend. Sixty-two percent of U.S. adults say the “parties do such a poor job representing the American people that a third party is needed,” an increase from 57% in September. Support for a third party has been elevated in recent years, including readings of 60% in 2013 and 2015 and 61% in 2017.

The numbers are interesting, but Gallup draws the opposite conclusion expressed by many frustrated supporters of former President Donald Trump, who aren’t seeking a third party, but desiring reporting honesty…which was sorely missing in the coverage of Trump and the issues that led up to his 2016 overwhelming victory over the left’s anointed Hillary Clinton and mounted throughout his presidency.

From the moment it was announced that businessman Donald Trump, who had never held political office, trounced scandal-plagued Hillary, the astonishment was palpable within leftwing networks and their print media cohorts. During the next four years he endured constant lambasting and derision to an extent never previously witnessed, despite the fact that the economy reached historic highs, until the advent of the Wuhan, China lab-created pandemic.

The fact that Trump drew massive crowds wherever he appeared rankled news sources to the point that his supporters were ridiculed. (Must watch video).

It’s not a third party that is needed.  It’s the devious fourth estate — which wields outsize, skewed influence and the slippery ability to frame political candidates and issues to suit its radical image — that needs to be exposed and revamped.

TRUMP ACQUITTED of trumped up charges & Update

Vengeful Democrats seeking retribution against former President Donald J. Trump, fell short in their effort to humiliate him and demoralize his supporters as they overplayed their hand and conducted a second impeachment within a year.

The senate vote failed 57- 43, falling short of the two-thirds majority needed to convict former businessman Trump on the fallacious charge of incitement of insurrection.

Their actual motive was to render him incapable of seeking public office in the future. Their aim was not only to criminalize political speech with which they disagreed, but also to kick his nearly 75 million voters to the curb.

Trump’s defense team argued the trial was unconstitutional because he had already left office and that his remarks were protected by the constitutional right to free speech. The words Trump used, they maintained, were no different than those regularly used by democrats who attempted for years to undermine the former president.

Seven Republicrats joined the chamber’s unified democrats in voting for conviction. Remember their names. Burr has already announced his 2022 retirement. The rest all need to be primaried:

Richard Burr (NC); Bill Cassidy (LA); Susan Collins (ME); Lisa Murkowski (AK); Mitt Romney (UT); Ben Sasse (NE) and Pat Toomey (PA). Vacillating Toomey also announced his retirement from the senate at the conclusion of this session. This past Sunday he said, it’s “very unlikely” the Senate votes to convict former President Donald Trump. The next day the Republicrat waffled back to saying the House impeachment articles were “persuasive.”

As SRAZ has previously noted, for democrats and Republicrats, their unconscionable Trump hatred is greater than their patriotism.

February 14, 2021:

This morning’s edition of the radically leftist, Hillary-endorsing, Trump-despising local newspaper, defeated in its ongoing assault on former President Trump, headlines what it refers to as an “analysis” with these intended to be derisive words: “After 2^nd acquittal, it’s still Trump’s Republican Party.”

Buried in the report is this admission: “Former president’s approval ratings in GOP are as high as 82%, polls indicate.”

For once the failing newspaper got something right.
