I have thought and stated many times over the years that Those who propose certain acts (legislation) MUST first lead by example. If those who are pushing for police to be defunded and in some place entirely eliminated are truly convinced that their proposals are for the greater good - then they should FIRST get rid of their own personal security agents and not allow them to carry any guns. Take down all the fences around their homes (mansions) - work in a place that has no *security* - LEAD BY EXAMPLE. Anything other than that kind of leadership is simply a LIE with the end goal to be making slaves of the rest of us. Also, when these phoney activists (politicians) fail to show up for *work* - they are not to receive one cent of pay or benefits for time missed. In fact they should be charged for the time they fail to appear at work and perform the WORK they are elected to do. Another reason why I support TERM LIMITS.
If any elected politician fails to uphold his/her Oath of Office it should be grounds form immediate replacement. This would meant their *interpretation* does not count - it is upholding the Constitution of the United States, and the State Constitution they serve in and for. America is NOT a Socialist government and those who push to make it such should be removed from office at once - not waiting for the next election. If they want to live in a Socialist country then they are free to go live in one.
We are watching the political take over of America by these Socialist loving enemies within. All those tax funded programs over the years have created a couple generations of FREEBIE LOVERS who have no clue about WORKING and EARNING their way in life. They were taught that all they had to do was holler and everyone would run to hold them and give them whatever they wanted. They were taught that they are all WINNERS - no LOSERS among them. What a LIE but now they think that is how life is. Imagine if Daniel Boone - Eisenhower - etc. thought that way when they were alive. We can thank FDR and his ilk for the FREE STUFF ideology.
Voters need to look CAREFULLY at the candidates and not just vote Party Line. I know a couple Democrats that beat most of the Republicans on *issues*. And I know of many RINO's that are further Left than those Democrats. Voters need to hold these liars and COMMIE LOVERS to the fire. REMOVE the LIARS and FAUX Conservatives.
We MUST BRING BACK OUR *REPUBLIC* that the Founding Fathers created for us.

Donald Trump Jr. says Dems calling for police to be defunded should first call for security details to be cut
Trey Gowdy on calls to defund the police: Who is going to do the jobs that cops do now?
Fox News contributor Trey Gowdy, former chairman of the House Oversight Committee, joins Martha MacCallum with insight on 'The Story.'
Donald Trump Jr. on Monday called out Democrats looking to defund police departments in the wake of George Floyd protests and said they should start by cutting their own security detail.
Trump said that the entire country has called for the end of police brutality but said calls to cut funding for police departments would do little to stop abuses and would make the most vulnerable communities even more vulnerable.
“Will those same anti-cop Dems call for their security details to be cut?” Trump asked.
We all want to stop police brutality, but cutting funding to police departments like so many Dems want to do doesn’t stop abuses, it just makes communities (particularly impoverished communities) less safe. Will those same anti-cop Dems call for their security details to be cut?
12K people are talking about this
Democratic leadership in the House and Senate on Monday unveiled legislation that would increase the accountability of police officers and remove immunity from legal consequences stemming from acts committed in the line of duty. But came up short from calling for police departments to be defunded.
Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ilhan Omar have been two vocal advocates to take drastic action. Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., told Spectrum News 1 that some of the NYPD's $6 billion in annual funding should be redirected to address systemic racism. She said the $6 billion budget for the city police “costs us books in the hands of our children and costs us very badly needed” investment in public housing.
Omar, D-Minn., took it a step further and said that the Minneapolis Police Department is “rotten to the root” and should be dismantled. She called the department a cancer that needs to be amputated so it does not spread, the New York Post reported.
Key Democrats, including presumptive presidential nominee Joe Biden, are distancing themselves from the “defund” push.
“I don’t support defunding the police. I support conditioning federal aid to police based on whether or not they meet certain basic standards of decency, honorableness and, in fact, are able to demonstrate they can protect the community, everybody in the community,” Biden told “CBS Evening News” on Monday.
Floyd, a handcuffed black man, died May 25 after a white police officer pressed his knee into his neck for several minutes. His death set off protests, some violent, in Minneapolis that swiftly spread to cities around the U.S. and the globe.
Derek Chauvin, a former Minneapolis police officer charged with second-degree murder, appeared in court Monday and Hennepin County Judge Jeannice M. Reding raised his bail from $500,000 to $1 million.
Last week, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti said that he tasked the city to “identify $250 million in cuts” to invest more money into the black community, communities of color, women and “people who have been left behind."
“It’s time to move our rhetoric towards action to end racism in our city,” he said, according to Deadline. “Prejudice can never be part of police work…It takes bravery to save lives, too.”
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., were asked by a CNN reporter if they supported the movement to defund the police entirely.
“That’s a local decision,” Pelosi said.
