That's it for the weather, and now in other news today, America is falling apart. See here. Now, this can all go two ways. In a first way, this can fizzle out and people will return to their televisions to watch Worshipping The Stars and eating entire Family-Size bags of Dork-Baked organic vegan sour cream and onion potato chips in one sitting. Or this can blow up into two factions of people at each others' throats.

Gosh, what happened to the tough guy that was going to unite America and heal this alleged racial divide here? Let's see…wasn't that President Obama? If anything, race relations are at their lowest point since the 1960s and 1970s and all the various left-wing "liberation armies" and so on that were running around then. It would appear to me that if Obama was supposed to heal some divide, he has failed miserably. Was there a divide? I'm not touching that one. I don't like to discuss race because I think race is just another way governments turn people against one another so they don't challenge the government. But if there was a divide, let's say it might have been Snake River Canyon, as an example. But Obama has gone and turned it into the Grand Canyon.

People were waiting for this president to demonstrate leadership. They're still waiting. In all fairness, I don't think there has been a president who demonstrated leadership, but I've said that before. But what we've got right now is the very real possibility of escalating violence between two races. And one race perceived of as being favored by the police and, ergo, violence being justified under some type of "social justice" philosophy. I don't think we're returning to the 1970s. I think we're already there.

Where are the cooler heads to say, hey, how about everyone just goes home and cool off? As I said in a previous column here, the sure way to be the victim of violence is to be present at some public demonstration, especially these ones. But what of the First Amendment? Excuse me, but throwing rocks at the cops isn't covered by that. You might go to a protest with good intentions, but you can't stop the agitators who find a crowd to hide in where they can throw rocks at the cops and get away with it. Because the cops will just gas everyone.

Now, let me go out onto a limb here. If I were the head of some nefarious federal government agency, I'd use agent provocateurs embedded into both the local police and the protests in order to fan the flames of this entire shindig. Then when the protesters started demanding an "end to police brutality or else" and the local police and their fellow-travelers started saying there needs to be an "end to cops getting attacked and killed", I would step in and reveal my new federal police agency to "solve" the crisis. And how would I solve it? Well, for starters, I'd disband local police or put them under my command. Next, I'd probably stop the concept of public arrests. People I wanted would just disappear one night. You thought a traffic stop was bad? How about a traffic extraordinary rendition?

Then I'd say, look, we need to heal this divide and restore trust. What better way than to just make people that might cause trouble up and disappear? Because, gosh, we don't know what happened to them. He went out one night to get some cupcakes and did not return. And, gee, I have these nifty robots now that can carry a grenade in to kill a suspect. I guess with some tinkering, I could create one that delivers an incapacitating gas into a suspect and when he wakes up, he finds himself in the Federal Triangle which has already caused more disappearances than the Bermuda Triangle. Just ask the Iraqis and Afghans.

Some of our Latin American allies in the Cold War used to do this. I think they used to fly the unfortunates out to sea and have them do parachuting without a parachute. I would imagine the sharks reacted to the sound of helicopter rotors like Pavlov's dogs did to a bell. It was probably our federal government that taught them this as a cost-saving measure to cut the ammunition budget. What's to stop these dummies from providing the federal government the very pretext to start doing this, too?

These dummies? Yes, do you really think going out there and throwing rocks at the cops is helping something? All that does is build the case for a growing number of people to support the cops opening fire on these protests. Then where will we be? Right. All of us behind barbed wire for our own "protection". See, public protests these days just can't seem to be pulled off without violence occurring. That's because violence is taught as a solution to every problem. So, here's a piece of advice: Stay home. These protests are nothing more than violence magnets. And you will be pulled into the violence with everyone else.
