[NYPost] The Rev. Al Sharpton called on Mayor Eric Adams Wednesday to address the brazen thefts at New York City stores, complaining that businesses have been forced to such extreme security that retailers are even "locking up my toothpaste."
"There is no doubt about it," Sharpton said on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" when asked about The Post's exclusive story of a man casually shoplifting 10 steaks from a Manhattan Trader Joe's and other thefts. we have descended into a hell dimension where Al Sharpton makes sense

Fix 'our' problem. When you start publicly denounce those responsible for this decivilization and start to say its the thief that is the problem not the theft, let me know.
Playing politics under cover of protecting the nation from really bad guys like you and me, dear Reader.
[NYPost] The Department of Homeland Security’s latest terrorism threat bulletin includes a warning against “the proliferation of false or misleading narratives, which sow discord or undermine public trust in U.S. government institutions.”
The bulletin, issued Monday and in effect until at least June 7, blamed an “online environment filled with false or misleading narratives and conspiracy theories, and other forms of mis-, dis- and mal-information introduced and/or amplified by foreign and domestic threat actors.
“These threat actors seek to exacerbate societal friction to sow discord and undermine public trust in government institutions to encourage unrest, which could potentially inspire acts of violence,” DHS went on. “Mass casualty attacks and other acts of targeted violence conducted by lone offenders and small groups acting in furtherance of ideological beliefs and/or personal grievances pose an ongoing threat to the nation.”
Further along in the bulletin, DHS topped its list of “[k]ey factors contributing to the current heightened threat environment” with the message: “[T]here is widespread online proliferation of false or misleading narratives regarding unsubstantiated widespread election fraud and COVID-19. Grievances associated with these themes inspired violent extremist attacks during 2021.”
The bulletin did not give specific examples of such attacks.
“The months preceding the upcoming 2022 midterm elections could provide additional opportunities for these extremists and other individuals to call for violence directed at democratic institutions, political candidates, party offices, election events, and election workers,” DHS added.
The document also warned that “COVID-19 mitigation measures — particularly COVID-19 vaccine and mask mandates — have been used by domestic violent extremists to justify violence since 2020 and could continue to inspire these extremists to target government, healthcare, and academic institutions that they associate with those measures.”

Mistrust of government? Have you chumps ever read the Constitution? Mistrust of government was baked into America from the get-go. It's a good thing. Unlike the DHS which started out as useless and slowly morphed into dangerous.

The government sows the seeds of distrust and then warns about it. Who are they warning? Fellow apparatchiks? Our Republic and government were ostensibly formed by and for the citizens. If it is anything else, one had better guard against government over-reach, abuse of citizenry, corruption and tyranny.
'They were never a part of the kit,' said Psaki. 'It was inaccurate reporting'
On Monday an HHS spokesperson told the Washington Free Beacon that included in these kits these kits could be pipes to smoke 'any illicit substance'
HHS on Wednesday put out a statement contradicting its previously reported remarks
'No federal funding will be used directly or through subsequent reimbursement of grantees to put pipes in safe smoking kits,' they said
Meanwhile, the Justice Department (DOJ) signaled Monday it may allow 'safe injection sites' to open up across the U.S.
'The White House is committed ... to taking steps to address the opioid crisis. This is not an issue that is inflicting just blue states,' Psaki said of the DOJ's move

What did she say? Something like "It looks like that's what we are doing, but it's not what we are doing. Except it's what we are doing."

As is typical, government efforts to address a crisis seem aimed at making it worse.
Making it easier for addicts to inject addictive drugs is a puzzling way to reduce addiction.
Its obvious effect is to encourage addiction by making it easier, and less dangerous,
Yet this is the standard government approach.
Its cure for poverty is to make poverty more tolerable to the poor, never to help them emerge from poverty on their own,
