Have you noticed how Americans misuse the word “ironic?” ————————

It is ironic that we have been subjected to stay-at-home orders and not having access to non-essential businesses to the point that defying those orders has had citizens fined and even imprisoned.

But we now watch people scurrying about, rioting, firebombing and looting those same businesses without reprisal. It’s clear that the coordination of this anarchy all across the nation is being orchestrated by some entity taking advantage of the death of George Floyd in order to destroy our country.

By not impeding this destruction and attacks on police, the authorities are abetting that end.
