Why would they do such a thing?

Milwaukee Police Chief Alfonso Morales was ordered last month to change the department’s policies to ban the use of tear gas and pepper spray.

“Since the Milwaukee order was issued, more than 100 law enforcement agencies in Wisconsin and across the country decided against coming to Milwaukee, Morales told WTMJ-TV on Tuesday,” the Associated Press reported. “They were concerned with directives placed on the police department, including not allowing tear gas or pepper spray, he said.”

Oops.

Personally, I don't think the Democrats have anything to worry about.

1. Jerry Nadler said the Portland riots are 'a myth', so why worry?

2. Any protests will be mostly peaceful, that's what all of them have been so far, so no problem.

3. They can just declare Milwaukee to be an autonomous zone. It'll be a big block party. They can even invite Seattle's mayor Jenny Durkan to officiate. This would be a perfect opportunity to show the world how to create an inclusive, loving, diverse community without all of those evil, nasty police stomping around and impinging on their personal freedoms.

4. Another idea is to declare the DNC as a gun-free zone. That will guarantee everybody's security.

5. They could always hire Antifa to provide security. What could go wrong?

6. When in doubt, call in the social workers.

Many top Democrats have reacted to the deployment of federal officers in response to the extremist attacks by smearing them or by lying about what it happening.

Because who are you going to believe, the Democrats or your lying eyes?

So Antifa asked for a police escort because they were outnumbered by patriots in Colorado Saturday.

"Behold the Power of a Fully Operational Motte & Bailey Defense"

I’ve said consistently that the 1619 Project is AN origin story, not THE origin story. Our intro says explicitly, what *would* it mean to consider 1619 our founding — not that it IS our founding.

Who Dis:

For the 'Ettes:

Monday's Who Dis: Frances Octavia Smith was born in Texas in 1912m and by the time she was 15 years years old, she was (a) married, (b) a mother, and by the time she was 17, she was (c) divorced. She started her career singing for radio programs in Memphis, TN, and Louisville, KY. She got married again, divorced again, married again, divorced again, and somewhere along the line, she adopted the stage name of Dale Evans. She eventually got into movies where she met a singing cowboy actor named Leonard Slye, who was going by his stage name Dick Weston, then changed that to Roy Rogers. And their relationship just sort of clicked. His second wife had just passed away and Evans' third marriage had just ended, so when they tied the knot in 1947, you might think that the odds were stacked against them. And perhaps they were. But they beat the odds. Their marriage lasted until Rogers' death in 1998, over 50 years.
