Seattle, WA – Cities now being labeled as “Anarchist Jurisdictions” by Justice Department. Can you guess if conservative or liberal mayors run these cities?
The protests have turned violent, and the looting has been abundant in many U.S. Cities. The Department of Justice has identified three of the worst offenders. This should come as no surprise to anyone. The three worst offenders are New York City, Seattle, and Portland.
Can you guess what New York, Seattle, and Portland have in common? If you guessed, they’re all run by liberal mayors, you are correct! If you live in one of these cities, maybe it’s time to join the mass exodus to other states and areas.
Cities now being labeled as “Anarchist Jurisdictions” by Justice Department.
“Anarchist Jurisdictions” is a term like “Sanctuary Cities” or the “War on Terror.” It is more or less a catchphrase to label what is going on, and the new policies proposed to combat the problems.
From The New York Post:
New York City was among three cities labeled “anarchist jurisdictions” by the Justice Department on Sunday and targeted to lose federal money for failing to control protesters and defunding cops, The Post has learned…Portland, Ore., and Seattle, Wash., were the other two cities on the list, which was approved by US Attorney General William Barr.

What liberals don’t understand is that decisions have consequences. If they are going to let their cities burn, the Federal government (under this administration) will step in. President Trump has warned these cities, and they didn’t listen. We aren’t going to get into the over-reaching Federal argument here, but you can post your opinion in the comments below.
More from the New York Post:
“When state and local leaders impede their own law enforcement officers and agencies from doing their jobs, it endangers innocent citizens who deserve to be protected, including those who are trying to peacefully assemble and protest,” Barr said in a statement set to be released Monday… “We cannot allow federal tax dollars to be wasted when the safety of the citizenry hangs in the balance,” the AG added.

What are some of the expectations from the government, even from the most libertarian of taxpayers? We believe safety and roads to be two of the most primary functions of government. If you aren’t doing those well, you aren’t doing your job.

New York could take the biggest hit. Since Marxist Mayor de Blasio has mismanaged the COVID situation while financially crippling the city, these are dire consequences for his mismanagement.
It is not yet clear what funds are likely to be cut, but the amount of money siphoned from New York City could be massive, given the Big Apple gets about $7 billion in annual federal aid.

What made us raise an eyebrow was this from the article:
At the time, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo infamously reacted by warning Trump he should watch his step in the state… “He better have an army if he thinks he’s gonna walk down the street in New York,” the Democratic governor said. “He can’t have enough bodyguards to walk through New York City, people don’t want to have anything to do with him.”

We see this as a threat to the President. Cuomo should be contacted by the Secret Serice and arrested for threatening the President. That would make a few headlines and make us smile!
Cities now being labeled as “Anarchist Jurisdictions” by Justice Department. What do you think? Is this the appropriate action by the Department of Justice? What do you feel about Cuomo’s threat? Please write your comments below and on social media.

It’s totally appropriate, and long overdue, especially considering the rioters are crossing state lines.
