I offer the following article as background for what is going on around the country. What the author details here has been reported in many cities around the country. The article breaks down the chaos into an understandable whole.
The protests that started over the horrific death of George Floyd actually brought most of the country together for a moment. However, the protests are no longer about George Floyd. And they are no longer protests. They are riots. It would be appropriate for even CNN and MSNBC to use that word.
After the successful launch of the SpaceX rocket, PDJT gave a speech that addressed the riots going on around the country. This was no Obama speech where he apologizes to the looters and thugs who are vandalizing our cities and violently attacking anyone who disagrees with them.
This is an interesting interview with Matt Whitaker, who was the acting Attorney General between Jeff Sessions and Bill Barr (11/7/2018-2/14/2019). The interview highlights how the Special Counsel Witch Hunt continued to severely weaken the rule of law in this country. The interview also displays the difficulty that AG Bill Barr has in trying to restore the faith of true Americans in our justice system.
The following is a great article by Sundance that appeared over at CTH on Sunday. It draws a clear correlation between Poland and Solidarity and what is happening here in this country now. It is well worth your time to read.
There are literally thousands of memes circulating on the internet about the Wuhan virus pandemic. Some are funny. Some express satire. Others are directed at one political party or the other, at one political personage or another. And then there are some like this one.
Americans all over the country are rising up against draconian lockdown orders by governors who believe they have become dictators. These governors are trashing constitutional rights and freedoms. The inner totalitarianism of these wannabe tyrants is now on display in many states. Michigan, New Jersey and Virginia have been in the forefront of curtailing the God-given rights of Americans in their states. Of course, they are not the only ones.
Patriotic Americans began to organize peaceful protests against government overreach regarding Shelter-In-Place executive orders through Facebook. Such Americans were in for a surprise. When they tried to network on Facebook, Facebook officials were quick to snitch to state governors in an effort to prevent these activities.

Governor “Blackface” Northam’s original lockdown order is scheduled to run through June 10th. Virginians hoping for a quick restart of normal life received a shock last week. In what is clearly an attempt to destroy the economy so that PDJT will not be re-elected, Norman Oliver, Virginia’s top health official, said the state would most likely be in lockdown for the next two years.
A Meridian, Idaho woman, Sara Brady, was arrested Tuesday evening after attending a planned protest at a park playground closed due to concerns about the new coronavirus.
The arrest was captured on a roughly 45-minute video posted on Facebook. The video has since been removed. The parents took their children to a playground at Meridian’s Julius M. Kleiner Memorial Park. The city of Meridian had closed playgrounds last month in an effort to help stop the spread of the virus.
The silent majority is becoming decidedly less silent. As draconian lockdown orders have spread throughout the country, the level of frustration has gone up with most Americans who were fine with voluntary compliance with the CDC guidelines.
While the MSM initially attempted to downplay the protests as a fringe movement by a few “right wing idiots,” the reality is that thousands and thousands of people are no longer going to sit by and allow politicians to dictate what they can and cannot do. Beginning with the drive-by protests by people in their cars in Lansing, Michigan, pushback against the various state lockdown orders has now spread to 18 states. Another seven states have rallies scheduled this coming week including Missouri, Pennsylvania and Maine.
