People say that the ICE agents should not be there and they should leave. It is true but the reason they are there is because the Mayor and the Governor are telling State and local police to ignore the law. The law says that when an illegal immigrant violates the law, they should contact ICE and they will deport him. No problem. However, since they are not contacting the ICE agents to pick them up in jail and are releasing them onto the streets, the ICE agents have to come get them. The agents are there picking them up on the street because they were released from jail. All they need to do to get the ICE agents to leave is follow the law and the ICE agents will be gone overnight. If it is that simple, why aren’t they doing it. All those illegal immigrants are voting for them because they allow the immigrants to live there, and give the immigrants free food, housing, education, and health care, even though they cannot vote legally. State and city officials allow illegal immigrants to register and vote in exchange for the free support. That is how they stay in power. In addition, all those daycares that don’t really exist but collect millions in tax money are doing so because the State and city governments allow them to. It is a pretty safe bet that a lot of that money is flowing back into the pockets of the mayor and governor and a lot of their friends in exchange for the State and city officials looking the other way. When State and city officials urge their citizens to attack the ICE agents and call on their citizens to prevent federal agents from enforcing the law, and then tell police not to interfere, they are putting the safety of their own citizens in jeopardy, as well as the lives of the ICE agents who are just doing their job.

The violence in Minneapolis reminds me of the George Floyd incident six years ago in Minneapolis. The media used that incident to whip up hatred towards the police. They pretend that their violent protests will result in pressure on the police to use more restraint. In fact, it results in the police backing off of such situations for fear of being prosecuted for doing their job. However, it will probably cause more police brutality, not less, as police will feel more threatened and will be more likely to use force. Black organizations claim Blacks are being targeted by police. Since the media tries to take advantage of such incidents when they happen, it is evident that it is a rare occurrence or we would be hearing of far more such incidents. Far more Whites die at the hands of both White and Black police officers. While there are rogue police officers and they should be punished, the vast majority are just trying to do their job and are often confronted with violent people who cannot be stopped any other way. Many are on drugs and are out of control. In addition, we do not know what preceded the killing of the man in Minneapolis. The man could have been a violent criminal that had just killed someone and was threatening to kill the police. We can’t judge an incident from a short clip by someone who may have edited the film in order to incite a riot. The officers should be tried by the courts based on the evidence and if they are guilty, they should be punished, but they should not be tried by public opinion based on what the media presents, because we know how biased they are. In the 1960’s, Martin Luther King showed that Blacks and Whites working together can reduce prejudice, hatred, and violence while the riots showed that violence increases the hatred and violence on both sides.

We are seeing increased violence over the death of a woman in Minnesota. It makes no sense. While the people in Minneapolis should protest peacefully if there is a pattern of injustice, a lot of hatred is being whipped up by out of State promoters who don’t care one bit about her. It is evident that a lot of the protests around the country are being fueled by those seeking to take advantage of the situation for their own political purpose since the protests are well organized and well funded. They are inciting riots and creating hatred against President Trump, who is the lawfully elected President in order to undermine the rule of law. As I look back over my posts, I see a number of incidents in Minnesota, particularly Minneapolis which indicates a pattern of civil unrest, particularly of defending those who are breaking the law against law enforcement. ICE agents are responsible for removing illegal immigrants from the country and They are there because the city and State officials are obstructing justice by refusing to turn illegal immigrants over to federal officials when they are arrested for crimes. City and State governments are openly violating federal law by harboring criminals from out of the country and have used the media to incite violence against federal agents by portraying them as being there illegally. That indicates that they view the law is a tool to achieve goals and not to obtain justice. They are abusing the trust of the American people for political purposes to discredit Republicans so they can win elections. Liberal politicians did it in President Trump’s first term to cover up the crimes of Hillary Clinton and President Obama and are doing it now to cover up their crimes in Minnesota. They don’t like it because President Trump is trying to restore the law to punishing criminals instead of as a tool to win elections.

We are seeing the same pattern in the media with the shooting in Minnesota that we have seen in similar instances. They rush to condemn the ICE agent for killing the woman and ignore the facts. ICE was there to arrest people in the country illegally because the State was violating the law by not reporting them to federal agents. Then protestors showed up to protest the arrests and prevent law enforcement officers from enforcing the law. We already see a systematic attempt to obstruct justice and hamper law enforcement. In addition, this isn’t a random demonstrator who the agents were harassing. While the narrative paints her as an innocent protester, videos show that she was harassing the agents and when confronted, deliberately aimed her car at the agent and attempted to run him over. It looks like the agent was acting to protect himself and other agents. Although she hit him, he was able to escape without serious injury. This was followed by rioting in other cities to protest the killing and calling for ICE agents to be pulled out of the city. This follows the George Floyd incident six years earlier in the same city which followed the same pattern. Police seeking to arrest a man caught committing a crime was killed while resisting arrest. It is followed by riots around the country calling for defunding the police. The goal isn’t justice, it is to hinder law enforcement and encourage anarchy. However, the narrative also hides another important fact which is that it distracts from the discovery of the millions of dollars of funds to help the needy that were stolen.

Social Strife I-Q
One has only to look at the accomplishments of Blacks and women to see that they have made great strides towards equality. A lot of the failure of Blacks to achieve equality stems from the fact that welfare required men to leave the home tearing apart families. That hurt Blacks the most since they had been discriminated against in hiring and education. Black families that remained intact were often able to escape poverty and achieve more equality with Whites. A lot of the failure of women to achieve equality was their conscious choice to have families. Women today graduate from high school, college, and even graduate schools at higher rates than men. Employment rates for women are higher than for men in spite of the fact that many women choose to stay at home and raise their children. While the average wage is lower than men it is because it includes many women who choose to have children and only work part-time so they can spend time with their children. When they return to work, they do not have the job experience and take starter jobs which pay less than those who worked during those years. The church must help people of all races work together to build a better community.

Since I was in college and watched the race riots, I have seen a remarkable decrease in racial discrimination and segregation. Black and White churches worked together to educate people and bring reconciliation. Desegregation has also helped. As children of both races play together and get to know each other, it has reduced racial tension. Granted, there is still some prejudice and discrimination, but not nearly what it was before the 1960’s. In recent years however, there has seemed to be what appears to be a deliberate attempt to stir up fear between Whites and Blacks and pit them against each other. Liberals would have us believe that racism is as prevalent today as it was in the early 1900’s and that Blacks, Hispanics, and women are as discriminated against as they were then. They have also added Gays, Lesbians, and transgenders along with a long list of other social deviations to the list. They have even rewritten history to inject racism in everything. Critical Race Theory is being pushed in the public schools to instill in Black people a feeling of being the victim of systemic racism and to instill in White people a feeling of being the perpetrators of systemic racism, when not all Blacks are victims of racism and not all Whites are perpetrators of racism. Such teaching serves only to increase racial tension and create bitterness between the races that will further divide our country.

I recently received a letter stating that using the phrase “All lives matter” is demeaning to Blacks. While it is important to point out the high rate of Blacks killed by police, most of whom are White, to say that saying “all lives matter” is demeaning to Blacks is to say that Black lives are the only ones that matter. I find no fault with those who publicize the high death rate of Blacks at the hands of police, most of whom are White, if their intent is to publicize a problem. It is a problem that must be dealt with but it cannot be solved by ignoring the facts. We should not prosecute all White officers who shoot a Black man, simply because the one shot is Black, and the other person is not, even when it is justified while ignoring a lot of times when officers kill a White man or a Hispanic with no provocation. If it isn’t justified, and there is no room for a mistake, the officer should be disciplined, regardless of the race of the officer or victim, however if the shooting is justified, or if there exists the possibility that the officer made a mistake, the officer should not be punished. There should not be any discrimination based on the race of the officer or the one being arrested. Justice demands fair treatment for everyone, not just those who play the media. Increased violence in response to shootings have increased fear of Blacks by Whites. It is easy to get caught up in the hysteria while the problem continues to escalate, but we need to step back and study the facts so we can develop ways to solve the problem.

I do not like the terms White and Black since we are all people and thinking in terms of we and them fuels discrimination but that is how liberals frame the debate. “Black Lives Matters” says they care about Blacks, but they seem bent on hurting Blacks. They want less violence against Blacks by police but by burning and looting, they are going to increase police fear of possible attack and increase the likelihood of police using force in restraining violent suspects. They say they want to defund police but that will hurt Blacks the most. That occurred partially in Ferguson, Missouri and Baltimore, Maryland after the much-publicized Black men killed by police. They cut the police force and withdrew police from Black areas to reduce confrontations. Crime and murders among Blacks skyrocketed as there were less police to protect them. BLM and liberal politicians started out calling for totally defunding and then backed off when they got such opposition to that position to one of only partial defunding. Even partial defunding will only be a replay of Baltimore and Ferguson. Blacks stand to lose the most. Police need community help to do a good job and driving a wedge between police and community by demonizing police only makes matters worse.

The media continues to call for Israel to stop the fighting and to reduce civilian casualties, completely ignoring what is going on in the Mid-East. Many people, deceived by them are also condemning Israel for civilian casualties and calling on them to stop their attack on Gaza. Israel did not attack the Gaza strip until after Hamas attacked Israel. Hamas attacked Israel with no advanced warning, in one of the worst attacks imaginable. They raped women, slaughtered innocent children, and destroyed homes. They have continued to attack Israel with rockets targeting civilian populations. They have no military objective but have continued to call for the extermination of Israel. These were all deliberate attacks on civilians, yet we hear very little condemnation against them. Israel must defend herself or be destroyed. They have had to attack Gaza to destroy the rocket launchers and military camps that Hamas is using to attack Israel. Hamas has deliberately set up rocket launchers in hospitals and schools and set up their headquarters and military camps under the hospitals so Israel will have to attack them to wipe out the military sites. Israel has done everything they can to avoid civilian casualties. They always drop leaflets beforehand to warn civilians to leave. However Hamas has prevented civilians from leaving so they could use them for human shields to protect their military sites. Israel must attack the sites if they are to prevent further attacks against Israel and cannot avoid civilian deaths. Hamas should not only be condemned for its actions, but its leaders, when caught, should be tried for war crimes against Israel, before the world court, just as Germany’s leaders were.

The second tactic being used today is one I learned about very early in life. I had Polio at age two and was on crutches for several years. I was an easy target for bullies. They would attack me by stealing my lunch or kicking my crutches out from under me. When I complained, they said I started it. Their friends would lie and support what they said. All the other kids were afraid to speak up and tell what really happened, because they were afraid the bullies would attack them too. The teachers believed them since there were several of them and only one of me, so I got punished. We see this in the current Hamas war with Israel. The Hamas made a brutal attack on Israeli civilians and when Israel fought back to defend themselves, they claimed that Israel had attacked them first. The other Arab nations then rallied behind Hamas, and the media supported their claims and blamed the Israelis. Many nations are afraid to speak up in support of Israel because they are afraid the Arabs would cut off their oil supply or attack them. As a result, many people believe them, especially young people who have grown up hearing how Israel was attacking its neighbors, but never hear about how Hamas had attacked them first. Unfortunately, many people do not think things through. Any thinking person would realize that a small weak nation would not go around attacking its big strong neighbors, unless it had a serious death wish. There are many large powerful Arab nations surrounding Israel which is very small, only about the size of New Jersey. No nation in its right mind would attempt to attack it neighbors like that and hope to survive. Israel has survived continuous attacks by its neighbors because God has protected it. In the same way I could never understand why my teachers believed the bullies. I would be a fool to attack someone bigger and stronger than me when I couldn’t defend myself if they attacked back. If I attempted to attack them, they could just run away and I couldn’t chase them. In addition, Hamas has been open and vocal about its goal of destroying Israel and wipe it off the face of the earth. All Israel wants is to be left alone. Israel has even given up land to its neighbors in the hope of being left alone but its neighbors have continually broken the treaties and demanded more land. Hamas has clearly stated they will not stop until they have wiped Israel off the map.
