You will not hear about this from the NYTimes. After a week or so of robbing and pillaging in America’s cities, Antifa decided that they would go out to the rural areas of the country to work their violence act. Coeur d’Alene, Idaho was on their list. The people of Coeur d’Alene got wind of this.
In what could be a prelude to what might happen if police forces are defunded/disbanded in various cities as is currently being pushed by various violent groups as well as ignorant city council members, Chicago experienced its deadliest day in 60 years on Sunday, May 31st. Chicago saw 18 murders in 24 hours.
As many people know, as a direct result of George Floyd’s death while in police custody, the City Council in Minneapolis has announced that they will disband/dismantle the Minneapolis Police Department (MPD). There is a veto-proof majority (9 out of12) on the council who support this idea. Assuming none of these people waver once they actually begin to think about the ramifications of this, the mayor, who opposes this, will not be able to block this legislation.
Lara Logan goes on Fox News to talk about Antifa. As she points out, Antifa is a global organization that is dedicated to the overthrowing of all oppressors worldwide but especially in America. By oppressors they mean anyone who does not bow down to their philosophy.
What is Warren ‘Bill’ DeBlasio doing? Is he Nero who watched as Rome burned? As mayor of the financial hub of the world, DeBlasio seems totally unable to exert any semblance of control over what is going on in NYC.
On Saturday the violent far left group, Antifa, foot soldiers for the Democratic Party, were identified by AG Bill Barr as the primary organizing group behind the riots, looting, murder and mayhem spreading across the country. Barr is not one to make statements like this unless he has definitive knowledge.
As anyone who has been following here knows, AG Barr’s DOJ is investigating an attempt by corrupt individuals to rig the results of the 2016 election and, when that failed, to overturn those results. Barr never makes legal statements without having all the evidence beforehand. This is the way he teaches upcoming lawyers.
The following answer by AG Barr to a reporter’s question is instructive as to where that investigation may be.
The Flynn case continues to have its unexpected twists and turns. The Washington Post headline reports another twist:
“Federal judge hires high-powered D.C. attorney to defend his actions in Flynn case.”
A quick review of how we got here.
In the ancient history of the Chinese virus, (that would be a couple of months ago) New York’s Governor Andrew Cuomo was the media darling. Cuomo was on cable midday news everyday. The bobbleheads gushed over his handling of the crisis.
The New York Times’ Ben Smith wrote, “The governor has emerged as the executive best suited for the coronavirus crisis.” Carl Bernstein told CNN that Cuomo has demonstrated “real leadership of the kind the president of the United States should have provided to the American people throughout this crisis, but hasn’t.”
On the other end of the spectrum is Florida’s Governor Ron DeSantis. DeSantis was blasted by the media for his approach. According to the Miami Herald, “Gov. Ron DeSantis is working overtime to preserve our status as the world’s leading exporter of political comedy.”
The Herald went on to note that while there is no manual for how to handle this threat, DeSantis should contact certain Democratic governors who appeared to be decisive and right on top of the issue. These included Cuomo of New York.
On Thursday, a three panel DC Appeals Court Panel ordered Michael Flynn’s judge, Emmett Sullivan, to respond to the petition for a writ of mandamus within ten days.
