The Morning Briefing: Are We Ready for Some BLM 'Winter of Love' Mostly Peaceful Stuff?

Top O' the Briefing

Happy Tuesday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. Kezwynder never did warm to the escargot breakfast buffet at the chateau gatherings.

Here we go again.

Things have been a little quieter than expected since Donald Trump became the president-elect last month. Yes, there were a couple of marches in some very blue cities, but not as much brouhaha as many of us thought there would be. Just in time for the holidays, the wannabe bada**es from Ferguson and the George Floyd Summer of No COVID Protocols are back, which Matt wrote about:

A New York Black Lives Matter leader has called for “black vigilantes” to retaliate following Daniel Penny’s acquittal on Monday. Penny, a 26-year-old former Marine, faced charges of second-degree manslaughter and negligent homicide in connection with the 2023 death of Jordan Neely on a New York City subway after Neely was threatening passengers.
"Just like everybody else has vigilantes, we need some black vigilantes,” New York BLM co-founder Hank Newsome said in the wake of the verdict. "People want to jump up and choke us and kill us for being loud. How about we do the same when they attempt to oppress us?"

To the surprise of no one, the leftists are trying to give Jordan Neely the Trayvon Martin and George Floyd revisionist history treatment, portraying him as an innocent lamb who posed no threat to anyone. None of the witnesses who were there at the time shared this opinion. Leftists love lauding all the wrong people, though. We've already seen that this week, with their praise of the assassin of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

Sound judges of character these people are not.

The race-baiting shtick is wearing a little thin for everyone. Megyn Kelly nails it here:

Megyn Kelly: “Somebody yelled out in the courtroom, 'it's a racist country'. That's not working any more. You're going to have to find a new line… the BLM era is officially over… Trump’s re-elected and Daniel Penny’s acquitted.”pic.twitter.com/k77kmkfp6g

The pathetic BLM posers might want to read the room now. The idiot Obama-era politicians who propped them up all the way through the 2020 rioting have been pushed to the side. We're not going to be seeing kneeling photo-ops from the Capitol when the Trump 47 crew rolls back into the Beltway in January.

They might not even find some of the Democrats in New York City in the mood for their antics. On yesterday's episode of "Five O'Clock Somewhere," Stephen Green and I were discussing the fact that New York Mayor Eric Adams has become much less patient with criminals in the city since it's been overrun with illegal aliens. He sounds positively conservative at times.

It bears repeating that the BLM tough guys don't take to the streets in cities where the gun laws make it easier for the locals to arm themselves. I'm fairly confident that I won't be seeing a lot of BLM marching in my immediate vicinity.

Unfortunately, most of our big cities are bluer than blue and don't offer their citizens the opportunity to take advantage of their Second Amendment rights. And we all know how much the Democrats enjoy their race riots. They would no doubt love for there to be a lot of social unrest as Trump returns to power.

Again, however, things have changed. Much of the country has moved on from the madness that gripped it four years ago when BLM, Antifa, and all of the other spoiled brats who weren't hugged enough as kids were allowed to run roughshod while entire police forces were ordered to stand down. As we saw in Los Angeles with the recent ousting of its soft-on-crime DA, even progressives get sick of crime after a while.

Let's hope that's catching.
