America’s Sheriff David Clarke

During the 2016 GOP convention in Cleveland, this blogger & hubby were sitting at the bar in a neighborhood restaurant, and through the door came a man wearing a cowboy hat.  In the profile, we could have sworn it was America’s Sheriff, David Clarke.  As he came inside, well, it WAS David Clarke.  I stood up to intercept him on his way to a barstool and asked if I might shake his hand.  An innocent bystander offered to take a photograph.  What a privilege.

So yesterday evening, we were in another neighborhood restaurant, and there was a gentleman at the bar having a drink.  He was wearing a cowboy hat and was a dead ringer for David Clarke.  Then I noticed an American flag and a “Blue Lives Matter” patch on his vest.  So when he glanced in our direction, I gave him a thumbs-up.

He paid his check and then headed over to our table.  And indeed, it WAS America’s Sheriff.  We had a most excellent conversation, and we were able to shake his hand again.  He is in town filming.  And having a friendly visit with him was a real shot in the arm.  Check out his website here.

Wokeness erasing America

 

Most excellent commentary from Victor Davis Hanson at American Greatness:

If wokeness should continue and “win,” by now we all know where it will end up. After all, this is not a prairie-fire, peasants-with-pitchforks, spontaneous bottom-up revolution.

The woke Left seeks a top-down erasure of America, engineered by the likes of LeBron James from his $40 million estate talking revolution to Oprah at her $90 million castle, as Mark Zuckerberg throws in $500 million here, and his colleagues $400 million there, and as the top executives of Coke, Target, and Delta Airlines believe their $17 million-a-year salaries make them experts on the crimes of non-diversity, exclusion, and inequity. Anytime revolutionaries at the outset of their enterprises seek exemption from the consequences of their own ideology, we know their plans will end badly for everyone else.
