thedailycaller--2020-09-03--Has America Peaked? Addressing The Craziness On The Left And On The Right Is Our Top Priority

Every good thing comes to an end .
Since our founding — based on ideas and principles rather than race or nationality — America grew to become the world ’ s most dominant power by the end of World War II .
By the 1990s , once we won the Cold War , there was nobody else even close .
Now we are completely falling apart .
Our situation is so bad that it could be time to start debating whether we have , in fact , peaked as a country and as a world power .
I sure hope @ @ @ @ @ @ @ can be measured in numbers .
Our economy is still the world ’ s biggest , but others are catching up fast .
Our economic growth rates — even prepandemic — are way down over the past decade than they were in earlier periods .
Our debt is now bigger than our entire economy .
But the numbers , as horrible as they are , aren ’ t the biggest problem .
The bigger problem is huge swaths of our country seem to have gone absolutely nuts .
This is true on the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ questions of what ’ s causing this and how we fix it are tough to answer .
But they are also the single most important questions , and they are questions you almost never hear debated .
On the right , huge numbers of people now buy into the QAnon conspiracy theory .
QAnon is actually many conspiracy theories all joined together .
Though the movement began in 2017 , it includes conspiracies dating back to the assassination of John F. Kennedy and the 9/11 “ truther ” movement .
Those were the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ inside job cooked up by the government to get us into a war .
It ’ s a pretty evil allegation and one with no factual support , but it caught on a little .
Amazingly , QAnon believers think that our government and the top levels of our society are run by pedophiles and child sex traffickers .
President Donald Trump is bravely fighting against these people , according to the conspiracy .
QAnon is led by a user ( or multiple users ) named Q who posts anonymously online .
Nobody @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , but estimates go up to the millions , and their numbers now include Republican Congressional candidates .
The Republican party leadership has largely stayed silent in the wake of this rise .
Trump was asked about it , but instead of calling it out for the insanity that it is , he largely dodged the question .
The good news is , crazy as it is to think our entire country ’ s leadership is motivated by pedophilia , it has not led to any widespread violence to date .
We don @ @ @ @ @ @ @ QAnon actually is , if at all , but the FBI has identified the conspiracy as having the potential to grow into a domestic terror threat .
Left-wing insanity , on the other hand , has grown way past the “ potential threat ” point .
In numerous cities around our country , there is serious violence and looting with some regularity .
This violence and looting grew out of legitimate protests over racial injustice and law enforcement .
In many cities , the peaceful protestors are regularly losing control to radicals hoping @ @ @ @ @ @ @ buildings and cause other chaos and violence .
In recent months , as numerous American cities burned , most of the corporate media and the Biden campaign were desperate to pretend it wasn ’ t happening .
The protests were “ mostly peaceful , ” we were told .
They even showed peaceful images as proof — as if the fact that the violence hadn ’ t hit every single block of a given city made it all OK. Joe Biden has finally denounced the violence in clear terms .
He should be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s also fair to ask what took him so long .
This has been happening for months .
In that time , we have allowed lawlessness to grow so out of control that the murder rate has skyrocketed in numerous cities .
This isn ’ t some sort of political game .
Real people are being killed on our streets , and they are disproportionally Black .
If Biden is sincere in his denunciation of the rioting and violence , he also needs to answer for his numerous staffers and his chosen vice @ @ @ @ @ @ @ paying legal fees and bail to get rioters out of jail and back on the streets to continue their attacks .
It ’ s hard to take Biden ’ s denunciations seriously after his team has subsidized the destruction .
The irony in all this is it may end up saving Trump .
The numbers indicate that Trump was likely headed for defeat — and he may still be — but things are starting to tighten up .
Here ’ s a shocker : Americans don ’ t like chaos and violence .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ people attacked and knocked to the ground .
They don ’ t want people attacked for attending a political convention .
They don ’ t like watching police attacked by kids with bricks and lasers and even guns .
They don ’ t like people losing businesses they have spent their entire lives building , and they don ’ t like anarchy and murder .
The corporate media can try to hide it or downplay what ’ s happening with the “ mostly peaceful “ canard , but the internet has made that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The left may have just given Trump new life through the callous disregard for the innocent Americans being hurt every day .
Whether it ’ s Trump or Biden , though , the first order of national business is to ask why so many Americans are cracking up .
How can potentially millions of Americans believe , with no evidence , that our entire country is dominated by a pedophilia ring ?

Our situation is so bad that it could be time to start debating whether we have, in fact, peaked as a country and as a world power. I sure hope not.
Some aspects of our decline can be measured in numbers. Our economy is still the world’s biggest, but others are catching up fast.

Nobody knows how many QAnon supporters there are, but estimates go up to the millions, and their numbers now include Republican Congressional candidates.

They don’t want people attacked for attending a political convention. They don’t like watching police attacked by kids with bricks and lasers and even guns. They don’t like people losing businesses they have spent their entire lives building, and they don’t like anarchy and murder. The corporate media can try to hide it or downplay what’s happening with the “mostly peaceful“ canard, but the internet has made that impossible. The word is getting out.

What does “focused and relentless” look like? Hillary’s presidential campaign chairman, John Podesta, thinks it means bringing the country to the brink of civil war.

Media and Democrats have recently teamed up to blame President Donald Trump for country-wide riots that began following the death of George Floyd in May .
Rioting has occurred in multiple cities across America in recent weeks and months , including Minneapolis , Kenosha ( Wisconsin ) , Washington , D.C. , Portland and more .
As the 2020 election nears , the rioting has continued in certain cities , naturally making it a hot topic for both media and politicians – many of whom have put the blame on Trump .
CNN ’ s Don Lemon called for Democratic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the rioting in August , adding that Biden should suggest the incidents are due to Trump .

” His comments came after Biden urged the unrest to stop in May , although at that time Biden did not blame Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pain to destroy us , ” Biden said May 30 , just after a Minneapolis police officer was charged in regards to Floyd ’ s death .

Three law enforcement officials told The New York Times that Reinoehl was killed in Lacey, Wash., after a federal task force attempted to arrest him in connection to the shooting of Aaron Danielson, a member of the conservative group Patriot Prayer.
The Washington Post reported that a task force officer shot Reinoehl as he pulled a firearm while authorities attempted to take him into custody.
Danielson, 39, died after sustaining a gunshot wound to the chest in Portland on Saturday night. He was with a group of Trump supporters who showed up at Black Lives Matter protests held in Portland.
Reinoehl, 48, attended several Black Lives Matter protests in recent months, according to his Instagram page. He was reported to be a person of interest in the Danielson shooting, though authorities previously refused to confirm he was a suspect in the case.
The Times reported Thursday that Reinoehl was being investigated in connection with the shooting. (RELATED: ‘I Had No Choice’: Antifa Supporter Linked To Shooting Of Trump Supporter Breaks Silence)
Reinoehl appeared in a VICE News interview that aired minutes before The Times reported his death on Thursday.
Reinoehl did not directly admit to shooting Danielson in the interview, though he said he was “confident that I didn’t hit anyone innocent.” He suggested that he was protecting a friend prior to the shooting.

“I had no choice. I mean…I had a choice. I could have sat there and watched them kill a friend of mine of color. But I wasn’t going to do that,” Reinoehl said in the interview.
Reinoehl expressed support for Antifa, a loosely organized left-wing group, in several social media posts, while comparing protests over police brutality to war. (RELATED: ‘I Am Antifa’: Antifa Supporter Sarah Iannarone Could Be Portland’s Next Mayor)
“I am 100% ANTIFA all the way!” he wrote in a post on Instagram on June 16. “We do not want violence but we will not run from it either!”
Reinoehl wrote of protests that, “like all wars there will be casualties”
Reinoehl had been charged twice in recent months with illegal possession of a loaded firearm, including at an incident at a protest in Portland on July 5.
The Portland police department posted a photo on its Twitter account of Reinoehl being apprehended while a gun laid on the ground next to him.

A spokesman for the department told The Daily Caller News Foundation earlier on Thursday that Reinoehl was issued a notice to appear for the gun charge the day of the incident, but didn’t show up.
The city of Portland rejected a public records request for a police report of the incident, citing an ongoing investigation.
Reinoehl was cited on June 8 with illegal gun possession after he was pulled over driving 111-mph on Interstate 84 near Portland. Reinoehl’s 11-year-old daughter was in the vehicle at the time, leading to a reckless endangerment charge.
The Portland police department did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

‘Reason For Optimism’: Surgeon Tells Tucker Why He Believes There Won’t Be A Coronavirus Second Wave In The Fall

Dr. Neal Elattrache told “ Tucker Carlson Tonight ” on Thursday that current trends display “ a lot of reason for optimism ” that there may not be a second wave of coronavirus in the fall .
“ I think that if we look at the trends of the virus , what ’ s happened over the summer and comparing where we are now to where we were in March and April , I think that the science and the data shows that we ’ re in a far different place with a far different disease now than we were @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Fox News host Tucker Carlson .
“ And I think there ’ s a lot of reason for optimism that we won ’ t see a second wave big enough to consider new lockdowns of the economy , ” he continued .
“ Maybe we ’ ll have second ripples in different parts of the country but , a second wave , I don ’ t think that the science would support that.
” To help make his case , Elattrache cited “ big parts of the American public ” taking precautions and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ standpoint would prevent them from getting sick and spreading the disease.
” The doctor urged focus on case numbers to be “ given in context.
” “ If you look at the death rate and the morbidity that the virus causes in the population , the hospitalizations , those are more meaningful numbers to look at and to see the trends that we have , ” he said .
“ In the New York region for instance , the death rate in people over 65 years old back in March and April was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ look at those death rates and it ’ s about 2 % .
So we ’ re treating people better .
We are able to identify positive cases better .
And so there ’ s reasons for optimism including people that would get the disease.
” Dr. Elattrache went on to explain how science is learning more about T cell response to the virus , which serves a key role in protecting to some degree a significant percentage of people .
