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.
Two weeks ago when people were protesting lockdowns in their respective state capitals, Hillary Clinton came out and labelled these people as “domestic terrorists.” These were regular citizens who were peacefully demanding their constitutional rights. They did not burn, loot, riot or commit mayhem. These were people who left the areas where they protested in better condition than before they arrived as they cleaned up after themselves.
Where is Hillary Clinton now? As of this writing, she has not labelled the rioters, looters and murderers who are rampaging through our cities as any kind of terrorist, domestic or otherwise. The same can be said for other Democratic elites. Apparently these rioters, looters, arsonists, etc. are just exercising their constitutional rights. Such people could not possibly be terrorists.
The following is a statement from a Republican lawmaker in South Carolina.
Every American has a right to demand answers. To demand a renewed dialogue. To demand change where appropriate. And FOR SURE to demand justice in the horrific death of George Floyd.
But those demands will quickly be lost in the chaos if they’re made by assaulting our law enforcement officers and destroying property. These disgusting images are just a few from South Carolina over the weekend. Throughout the nation, hundreds of officers have been injured during the last few days, which is completely intolerable. ...
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 thought police have returned to the floor of the US Senate. Leave it to one of the weakest minds in the Senate to come up with yet another worthless resolution to scold and control us deplorables. Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA), relative of Jussie Smollett, introduced a resolution that would malign people as racists if they used the term “Chinese Virus” or “Wuhan Flu.” This ignores the fact that Chinese state media outlets routinely referred to the coronavirus by these names. It was only when the backlash from the rest of the world reached epic levels that China tried to change the conversation.
About ten days ago, PDJT signed an executive order which temporarily halted immigration into the United States. This was done as an additional control for COVID-19 infection as well as protecting American jobs during this unprecedented crisis.
As expected, the left went into a frenzy over this. However, most Americans agreed with the President that we need to protect jobs for Americans.
Many world governments have taken unprecedented actions in connection with the Wuhan virus. Why? Schools and offices are closed around the world. What aren’t they telling the public about this virus?
The one thing scientists agree on is that the first recognized infections were in Wuhan, China. Hence the name. Researchers have been trying to pin down the exact origin of the virus. This has been hampered by China’s initial refusal to acknowledge even the existence of the virus.
China imprisoned doctors and journalists who reported the truth. There’s lots of open source reporting from Chinese nationals that the doctors involved were either silenced or put in isolation … so the word of this virus could not get out.
Why did China do this?
While I have talked numerous times here about media bias, I am still astounded occasionally by the new lows that so called “unbiased” media personalities will stoop to in order to disparage PDJT. Last week after the President’s address to the country, Lawrence O’Donnell of the flailing MSNBC network (how many viewers have they lost in the last three years?) reached a new low water mark.
This says a lot considering that once again PDJT was called a racist and a xenophobe by many media types over on the far left for calling the Wuhan virus a foreign virus. This ignores the fact that it is common practice to associate new diseases with the site of its first major outbreak. Examples include the West Nile Virus, Guinea Worm, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, Lyme Disease, Ross River Fever, Omsk Hemorrhagic Fever, Ebola Hemorrhagic Fever, Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS), Valley Fever, German Measles and Spanish Flu.
