@ Breitbart
Good Morning
Mayor Frey of Minneapolis encourages the rioters to socially distance and wear masks, you know riot responsibly.
Maybe next he will advise them to get sleep and eat a balanced diet to be all the rioter that you can be.
@ RIX:
I’m beyond tired of this police/race riot cycle.
I certainly do not side with the officers and think they should be investigated. If there’s no more context to that video, they should be charged with some type of homicide.
But this is beyond tired. It’s 2020, I’m almost 45 yo, and this has been happening most of my life.
It’s become painfully clear to me that we cannot culturally “come together.” Shitting where you eat, then setting fire to the shit isn’t acceptable or “healthy angst.” Not even for toddlers.
@ Deplorable Bumr50:
there is a very clear delineation between the civilized and uncivilized.
@ coldwarrior:
In all my years in the law, I never knew that JUSTICE for a particular victim could be obtained by breaking into a store and appropriating a new Dyson Vacuum Cleaner for yourself.

Holy cow. Leading conservatives are coming to Parler en masse. Dan Bongino, David Webb, hell, I even found MILO.
President Trump is being urged to open a Parler account. He should. That would stick it to Twitter but good. All media would have open their own accounts to see what he’s saying.
Keep the Twitter account, but just say “check out what I just said on Parler”.
@ Deplorable Bumr50:
Apparently at least one of those officers has had numerous issues in the past, and about 10 years ago Amy Klobuchar declined to prosecute him for shooting a Native American.
@ The Barbarian:
I tried GAB for a short time. Got dogpiled by a buncha #pizzagate idiots.
@ Bunk X:
I gave up on GAB for the same reason. I’d like the Reynolds Alumunion Foil franchise for those guys.
Parler is much better. You have 1000 characters to play with. Navigating is a little confusing at first. But at least you can read a thread without 1,000 liberals with TDS commenting, all the while clinging to their Russian Colooooshun fantasies. Give it a go, Bunk.

If this were people on the right who had this kind of act perpetrated on them, they would not be going after those who had nothing to do with the injustice. The people responsible and any government leaders would be the target of their ire if they could not get justice through the legal system. Even at its most base, that would be a civilized reaction.
@ right_wing2:
Yes, and I think everyone agrees that he should be tried for a major crime.
That has absolutely nothing to do with massive destruction of personal property and endangering the public.
@ AZfederalist:
Indeed. All search results for “rioting on Sunset Blvd. after OJ and Reginald Denny verdicts” have come up a big zero.
Damn Twitter is going to find itself in some trouble.
There’s even a hashtag for it: “Twexit.”
I stayed up late last night reading the Iron Fist saga — it read like a novel, except for being all too real. I always knew he was a tough guy, who prided himself on his toughness, and to be honest, I always thought that part of his online persona was a little overblown. Now I see that was an essential part of him, and he’d earned it. I’ve had parents, other relatives, and friends fight cancer, with some walking away from it, and others not, but nobody I’ve ever seen has fought any more bravely and optimistically to the end as this man. Thinking of his last bike ride, taking “the long way” with his beautiful, loving wife behind him, has the dust around here getting into my eyes again. Long may you ride, man.
I never realized how book-smart he was, especially about political history. He managed to stuff a lot of good education in, between bar fights. Anyone who can do coding and get paid for it, is a lot smarter than me. I enjoyed reading the “old” political arguments leading up to the 2016 election, with all the NeverTrump stuff that drove a serious wedge into the conservative side. Things got a little heated around here, I see. I was also very skeptical of Trump right up until his nomination became inevitable, and then I took a good look at him and how he was driving the Idiot Left even more insane. I started liking him more and more. I think Iron Fist was headed in that direction, too, unlike the people who are still wallowing in their Never Trumpness. Hey! Get over it, you guys. lol
I also appreciated his description of his long and varied martial arts career— I’ve also done a lot of that, starting in my 20’s with a very traditional Korean TKD master who’d started teaching American GIs in Korea during the war. I got to my blue belt with that school, before the time-constraints excuse allowed me to stop. I was forty by the time I earned my first black belt, in an Americanized version of TKD that incorporated a lot more boxing-skills, and keeping your mitts up, to protect your face. Fine innovations, imho. I never got the chance to study any weapons like IF did, which I regret. He was way more into the practical application of the fighting arts, whereas I’m mostly into it for the fitness and discipline. Now the only fighting I do is against a heavy bag, and my own slothful tendencies.
Anyway, thanks again for posting his self-written story. I’d put it up against any other cancer memoir I’ve read, which are quite a few. Anyone remember, “Death Be Not Proud?” That was the first such story I ever read, when one of my much-older sisters laid it down after struggling through it for school. She was sobbing while reading it, so of course I had to see what the fuss was. It wrecked me, too. As did “Love Story,” a few years later.
This is the John Donne poem that the author used for the title of his book — I think Iron Fist would have agreed with the sentiments expressed. Donne was a brilliant poet, and a very religious man, in the best sense. Fist wanted to study more and become a minister, and he would have made a great one.
———————————————-
Holy Sonnets: Death, be not proud
BY JOHN DONNE
Death, be not proud, though some have called thee
Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so;
For those whom thou think’st thou dost overthrow
Die not, poor Death, nor yet canst thou kill me.
From rest and sleep, which but thy pictures be,
Much pleasure; then from thee much more must flow,
And soonest our best men with thee do go,
Rest of their bones, and soul’s delivery.
Thou art slave to fate, chance, kings, and desperate men,
And dost with poison, war, and sickness dwell,
And poppy or charms can make us sleep as well
And better than thy stroke; why swell’st thou then?
One short sleep past, we wake eternally
And death shall be no more; Death, thou shalt die.

@ Octopus:
Iron Fist was one of a kind. I learned early on that if I contradicted him on anything a fact-smackdown was coming. After that, I steered clear, but read his every post.
By the time he was going down, his posts got too depressing for me, yet I understood that it was his outlet, his way of facing the inevitable.
@ Octopus:
But Dr Fauci said that masks work I believe after he said that they didn’t.
He also said that 2 million Americans would die and the walked it back.
He also advised Trumpto lock down based on the models, but now smears the models.
He als “guaranteed that the virus would roar back, but now says no one knows.
Whether the masks work or not it has become a. form of virtue signaling and going all Karen on the other guy.
I do not trust anything that they are saying anymore, but social distancing does make sense.
Just sick of the scare tactics.
Derek Chauvin has been arrested. Charges pending.
@ RIX:
I don’t believe at any time that Fauxci knew what he was talking about. He loved the cameras and being the center of attention.
@ The Barbarian:
What about those who aided and abetted?
right_wing2 wrote:
That was Chauvin. I think there was something like four/five “excessive force” complaints in his record and he was involved in two police shootings.
@ Bunk X:
Hopefully they’re NEXT. I have a buddy down the street, retired Richmond P.D. that walks his dog every night. I saw him last night and he was just disgusted by both the behavior of the police officers involved and the rioters.
In full disclosure, he is Black. But he said it amazed him that NOT ONE of those officers didn’t yell “what the hell are your doing” and shoved Chauvin off of Mr. Floyd. He said that you place your knee across the top of the shoulders and only then to secure the handcuffs. NOT FOR 8 MINUTES.

He was a good thinker and knew his stuff. He was also able to admit when someone else was better-versed in a particular area, and concede a point here and there.
I think it was easier for me to read his story in a couple of big chunks, knowing the approximate ending, than it would have been to follow it in real time. Not that it was really easy — I wanted to jump in there with a big bottle of liquid morphine a few times.
My best to Velvet Glove/Mafia Princess, btw. You saved this man. And he knew it.

Good!
Here’s a feel good story for you….because I think we can all use one (although it starts out sad).
K.B. Balla was caught on video visibly upset because looters destroyed the sports bar he had been working on and was planning to open right before the COVID lockdown. He knew the lockdown was going to delay his opening but he was doing everything he could to persevere.
Then the rioters burned it down. A GoFundMe page to help him rebuild was started yesterday, with a goal of $100,000 to help him keep his dream alive.
As of right now, the total donated is $146,000. And I’m pretty damned sure many of those donations came from those evil Trump supporters. I’m in for $50 myself.

$214,000. Reminds me of that woman in Ferguson who lost her bakery to rioters. I think she was looking for help in the range of $150,000. Got half a million.
@ The Barbarian:
That’s crazy. I mean, good for these windfall beneficiaries, I hope they do the right thing with the excess, but…maybe there should be a cutoff point? I don’t know.
@ Octopus:
Especially since we know a fat jazz bassist that couldn’t get past HALF his goal in five years.
OMG. This is from the Last Refuge, and OMG do I wish I was this clever:
“After an extensive study and review by local scientists and public officials, you can go to a barber shop and/or beauty salon and get your “hair styled”, as long as the ‘styling’ doesn’t involve the actual cutting of the hair. Apparently, in phase-1 the COVID virus can identify when scissors are present and the virus will attack with increased severity.
You can go to a church, as long as the going to church doesn’t involve the actual going into a building that would be identified as a church. Worship services can only be provided outdoors, because the virus lurks in the building…… unless the building contains vegetables and is called a supermarket, and then the virus cannot enter the premises.
According to the local scientists who have analyzed the risks, you can now wash your car; however, it is only safe to wash the outside of the car. If you attempt to clean the inside of your vehicle the virus will hunt you. Interior car cleaning is forbidden. No actual word on how you get your vehicle to a car wash without being inside it… but minor details are still a work in progress and will likely be addressed in phase-2.
You are now permitted to open retail businesses, but you cannot sell things from inside retail businesses. Apparently the Maryland officials have discovered the virus is building and content specific. Therefore retail sales can safely happen at the curbside of the building; but patrons are forbidden from entering the establishment.
Purchasing a new pair of pants becomes less dangerous when the pants are not in a building. Unless, duh, the building sells vegetables and pants, and then the virus doesn’t attack the pant purchaser because they are protected by the surrounding vegetables.
You are allowed to open and attend daycare and summer camps, as long as the camps remain outside. During phase-1 of the opening, if a spring and/or summer storm starts, it is less dangerous to run around dodging lightning strikes outside – than if you were to enter a building or cabin where the virus is waiting to attack.
Given the hair salon scissor restrictions, in combination with rules for summer camps, running with construction scissors outside while dodging lightning is another undefined detail. However, if you happen to be picking vegetables, you are immune from being attacked. Vegetable picking inside or outside with scissors is therefore allowed.
Restaurants are allowed to open, but again all actual eating of food must take place outdoors. To accommodate this safe dining approach, restaurants are encouraged to put all their tables in the street.
The Montgomery County dept. of transportation is organizing road closures to assist with the roadway dining. So you might not be able to drive to where the restaurants are, but the outdoor dining experience should justify hiking to your table for the asphalt ambience.

@ coldwarrior:
I’m a very happy person right now. I was frustrated at my cigar cooler because it kept freezing my ppg and decided to take a closer look at it today hoping to find anything I could do to fix it. Found a sticker on the back that said “For professional repairmen only.” Took off the sticker and lo and behold it was a temperature control screw with clearly labeled instructions, lol. Turned it down about three levels and plugged it back in. Going to see how that does.

I had serious doubts about Trump’s candidacy, but as we got closer to the election he definitely came across more and more as the real deal and my mind was changed. I had a co-worker ask me (also conservative) if I thought Trump would keep his promises. My answer was “I don’t know, but unlike every candidate before him, I think he will honestly TRY.”
I imagine Mark Levin will have been able to digest all of this before he goes live in half an hour. His rant on this will be epic.

Until rather late in the game, I didn’t take him seriously. I adored him because he just pissed off the media and I thought it was hilarious, great entertainment. Then came a particular debate. Maybe about 6 people left. As the panelists called each candidate out, Trump and Dr. Ben Carson were left. You could tell from the podium set-up that Carson should have been called already but wasn’t. They called Trump but Trump wouldn’t go onstage. The backstage cameras showed him ushering out Dr Carson instead, he wouldn’t leave him standing there, alone and forgotten.
THAT is when I started paying attention.

I’m really glad you guys have kept in touch with IF’s wife— I know they met on LGF, from his “book,” but it wasn’t clear if she was active here.
I will have to stand by my statement about him being late to the Trump party, which I don’t hold against him or anyone else (not that anyone cares). I still didn’t think he had a chance of winning the general at the time Fist passed, but I was dreading like the fires of Hell the screechy, horrible alternative. I was never in love with Cruz, either, like so many conservatives were. I don’t need a tingle up my leg to get behind a politician, but there is a basic level of likability and charisma that Cruz didn’t quite manage. Trump was and still is an obnoxious fellow in many ways, but “he fights,” like nobody we’ve ever seen in the Republican Party. All the boasting, preening, and self-laudatory hyperbolic accolades he is not shy about broadcasting directly to the people on social media, speeches and press briefings, just serve to inspire more support from us Deplorables, and more howling rage from the Idiot Left.
We get him now. It’s not a mystery anymore how this crass individual has managed to enter and dominate one snakepit after another, from New York City real estate development, to NYC high society, to television, and now the slitheringest hellpit of all of them, in DC.
Who could have foreseen all that? Not me, that’s for sure.

8 days straight of NO new Wuhan Flu cases and those two were from known hot spot locations. Only two reported active cases. ZERO people in hospital or ICU. Just 22 deaths overall of which 14 were from 3 hot sport in Care Homes. NO DEATHS IN ANYONE under 40 years of age. Only just over 1,500 total known infections nationwide with a population base of 5 million.
The Borders are closed and sealed with anyone crossing them required to be tested prior to boarding then enduring 14 days in secure quarantine on arrival.

@ Aussie Infidel:
You ain’t normal….
I can appreciate both spiders and snakes, without any strong feelings of a judgmental nature. Spiders are incredible animals, when you look at all the things they do. At the same, you have to kill them in your house at every opportunity unless you want them to take over completely. I let a house centipede handle most of that, but in the spring, it’s usually me, as they are being very fruitful and multiplying.
Snakes in Michigan are harmless, aside from a small, rare rattler that lives in the woods Up North. Snakes are basically digestive systems covered in skin. I hear they’re quite tasty, but I’ve never eaten one.

I could be wrong – shocker, I know – but I wonder if these riots might rebound to votes for Trump. Somehow, I don’t think this is going to go over well.
Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot on Friday had some choice letters for President Trump: “F” and “U.”
Ms. Lightfoot was firing back against Mr. Trump over comments he made regarding the protests in Minnesota that erupted after the death of George Floyd, which has renewed a national conversation over race and policing.
“I will code what I really want to say to Donald Trump. It’s two words. It begins with F and it ends with U,” Ms. Lightfoot, who is black, said at a news conference.
I’m pretty sure a lot of the businesses are owned by blacks and I think they’re way too smart to not understand exactly where this is coming from.

I never got involved in the political viciousness, at any of the blogs I read. Weasel Zippers and Ace of Spades, etc. I guess I just don’t enjoy parsing the minutiae of candidate’s agendas that are usually quite disposable, once they’re elected. I kept watching Trump handle himself with such confidence and eff-you attitude, and came to like him more and more. By the time he won the nomination, I was in.

my main line of reasoning was that it isnt dem v republican, it is globalist versus nationalist.
trump has been nationalist forever.
also, so many love to quote adam smith, and they do it wrongly and don’t understand what he was writing about…english wool for portuguese port wine. the brits didnt start producing wine and the portuguese didnt start producing wool for trade. they traded finished goods.

Can US military operate on US soil?
The Posse Comitatus Act, which passed after the Civil War to keep federal troops from policing the South, limits federal troops’ deployment on U.S. soil and forbids using them to enforce domestic laws. The President can deploy troops if there’s an insurrection or invasion on U.S. soil.
So this has to be considered insurrection.

4 of us found a Red bellied Black Snake (poisonous) that was dozy because it’d had eaten a rabbit whole and was digesting it. We had no live ammo but we did have plenty of blank ammo, so we loaded a round into a WWI .303 rifle slid it up against the dozy snake’s head and blew it off .
Gutted the snake and kept the skin. Sliced the flesh off it and pounder it with rocks to tenderise it, ( it was like rubber) crushed the hard-tack biscuits with rocks. Melted the little tin of margarine in a ‘dixey’ pan rolled the pounder snake meat in condensed milk to make it sticky , rolled it in hart-tack and fried it.

Time for live ammunition and the will to use it. This is not protest, this is insurrection. They are not attacking the people responsible for what they are protesting, they are attacking innocent people and businesses.
I give the left credit, by committing this insurrection, they negate the legitimate protests and escalation from the right on the suppression of our liberties under this Covid excuse for totalitarianism. The argument will be that we on the right cheered the government to suppress their insurrection but we somehow are justified in our protests? Never mind that the there is a world of difference between the two — the propagandists will see to it that the lines are erased.

So I watched the four-part series on Jeffrey Epstein on Netflix that was executed produced by James Patterson. Pretty much glossed over Bill Clinton’s involvement (although they did say that he’s been on the jet a couple dozen times, the one survivor said “I never saw him do anything), they made sure to include as many pictures of Donald Trump with Epstein as they could.
Patterson is an ass – I know he’s pals with Clinton but dude, you really want us to believe that Clinton went to Orgy Island and did NOTHING?

Bill Ayers lost the love of his life in that. But they were a very small group and that made it hard to crack. They could – and did – hide easily. They were the impetus for the creation of the Joint Terrorism Task Force of the FBI that Barr said will be going after Antifa.

Just another example of the difficulties between Federal State and local administrations when attempting to standardise response to armed anarchy and revolutionary groups identified as terrorist organisations.
The Justice Department is responsible so the Justice Department should recruit, train and command the officers of the JTTF operationally.

Knowing what I know now, I can’t believe the military let them anywhere near the operations. I was just referring to Americans in general, who thought they were a real news organization at that time. Now they’re an arm of the enemy, to half of the country.
AOC has apparently been appointed as the negotiator for Antifa (video at link):

All your points are valid. However, I think it’s smart to at least begin by leveraging relationships that already exist. Don’t expend time/resources re-inventing the wheel.

What will the activists do when the MPD cop is acquitted? Yes, he will be acquitted on the murder charge, if not manslaughter, b/c the autopsy shows he didn’t kill Floyd, & MPD manual shows he was following procedures allowing knee-on-neck pressure pt to induce “unconsciousness”

@ eaglesoars:
God, the fallout from an acquittal will be insane. And of course it will be Trump’s fault.
@ right_wing2:
yep
I don’t know if this is true or not, but some people are saying there IS no ‘domestic terrorist’ designation legally. There is no statute under which that can be charged.
I have no idea what to make of that, thought I’d pass it on.

There is your answer right there.
Constitutional protections still apply for groups like Antifar alas.

If Antifar are implicated in external actions then that may allow some further domestic enforcement but it’s still questionable.
Hoist on your own petard it appears!
But sooner or later the DNC will again hold power and do you want to allocate even more power to them to oppress the conservatives right at that time?
@ Aussie Infidel:
Bullshit. Did you see what he did there?
defines domestic terrorism as activities that occur primarily within the United States; that “involve acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any State”;
and then proceeds to conflate THAT with this
When it comes to national security, then, we do not want the federal government investigating the constitutionally protected activities of Americans unless there are solid grounds to believe they are serving a foreign power
Constitutionally protected activities DO NOT fall under ‘violation of the criminal laws of the United States’
Next.
bed. nite.

Got to it before I did. The fact is that Antifa has been committing criminal acts for a long time now. They have been committing assault, murder, arson, destruction of property. They have also been providing funds, tools, means of communication, and transportation for people to commit these acts. Name one single conservative group that has been doing this. This word whore (Thanks CW) is comparing apples and tubas. There is a huge difference between calling a spade a spade in antifas case and the dems “the NRA is a terrorist group, hurr durr” usual bullshit.

Seditious activities that lead to subversion IS NOT COVERED by Constitutional Protections. Especially so if such seditious speech and organisation is at the behest of a foreign actor.
Anarchic activities are well covered under the provisions of Criminal Law, and that should always be the first recourse. If however there is evidence of actual subversion attempted subversion of the State by malevolent agents, then the full force of the Law should be used against them and their foreign financiers and boosters.
What I DO NOT want to see set, where the precedent is established at some future time, during a Democrat Administration, where forces of suppression are used against Conservative actors, attempting to use Constitutional Protections for their defence. Charges of sedition and subversion, against those innocent conservative actors, could be falsely based on president being established now.
We have already seen the DNC attempting to work against the Constitutional Protections of all US citizens, even without the establishment of this faux precident.
Be careful that the simple ‘cure’ is not worse than the disease.
Destroy ANTIFA through the application os Criminal Law and especially Federal Criminal Law. Once ‘The Dogs of War are unleashed, it is hard to get them back onto the leach. Troops in the street is ALWAYS a BAD LOOK in any Republic or Parliamentary Democracy.
… based on precident ….. NOT president…
Bloody predictive strikes again!

The jury in the George Floyd case will need to be completely shielde and anonymous, starting during the selection process. I don’t know how, or even if, it can be done though.
