BLM Protesters Kneel, Rally for Man Killed by Police, Then It Turns Out He's a White Suspected Carjacker

. . . Second, this story hurts the narrative that unarmed black men are disproportionately killed by police officers. While they try to frame every officer-involved shooting in the worst possible light, BLM and its mainstream media allies dismiss stories of cops doing heroic deeds such as stopping criminals.

Twits

The Federalist Papers  "Black Lives Matter has led the charge to make seemingly every issue in America a referendum on race. One example of this came during a protest outside Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s mansion in St. Paul on Sunday.

"The New York Post reported that dozens of protesters were kneeling outside the mansion amid reports of a shooting involving an officer in Burnsville, Minnesota.

"Mitti Hicks, a reporter for KMSP-TV in Minneapolis, tweeted a video of the kneeling protesters, some of whom were displaying Black Lives Matter signs, flags and other memorabilia.“ 'Protestors kneel after hearing there was an officer-involved shooting in Burnsville moments ago,” she reported. “This information HAS NOT been confirmed but this group says they’re heading there.”

Chauvin: The Case Against the Mob

 Ann Coulter   " One of the main arguments being advanced by Eric Nelson, sole attorney for Derek Chauvin in his trial for the murder of George Floyd, is that the hostile crowd itself
prevented the officers from attempting to perform CPR in the last minutes of Floyd’s life.

"Even the prosecution’s “use of force” experts admitted repeatedly on cross-examination that a hostile crowd would justify Chauvin keeping Floyd restrained until an ambulance arrived. An officer’s duty to provide care is overridden by his duty to keep himself, the suspect and the bystanders safe.

"As was evident from the videos (and admitted to by the bystander witnesses), they were shouting obscenities at the police, threatening them with bodily harm and, in a few instances, had to be held back from rushing the officers. 

"And of course, because of the presence of the angry crowd, the EMTs themselves did not stick around to provide care, but did a “load and scoot,” heaving Floyd into the back of the ambulance and driving three blocks to get away from the mob on the street. They didn’t even want to work inside an ambulance near this feisty group.

"As it becomes increasingly obvious that the belligerent onlookers themselves may have gotten George Floyd killed by creating a dangerous situation for the officers, media commentators leap in to do backup work for the prosecutors by sneering at the idea that the officers might have felt threatened by a few rowdy teenagers."

"Oh, the big pansies! So, a few teenagers yelled at the officers. Show me just ONE example of disaffected urban youth going from agitation to brawling!

"Here’s one! One recent Saturday morning in May 2019, six teens beat the crap out of an off-duty firefighter on the Upper East Side because he stepped in to defend an elderly couple from the youths’ harassment. — youtube.com/watch?v=fNkN1CGnVCc.    Keep reading...

The Times briefly mentioned a “home invasion” in a single article about Floyd last June (27th paragraph – seriously). I guess they didn’t have space to mention Floyd’s pistol-whipping a pregnant woman.

 

The evil that has always been Maxine Waters

The Morning Briefing: I've Known Maxine Waters Is Evil for a Very Long Time  . . . "We’re just playing by the Democrats’ rules here. Blaming “rhetoric” for violence has long been their thing. These are the lunatics who tried to blame a target on political literature for Jared Loughner shooting Gabby Giffords, after all. In their tiny minds, however, it’s only Republicans who have inflammatory rhetoric. They’ve been lying about Trump since Jan. 6th and now they’re running cover for Waters’s actually inflammatory words.

"Maxine Waters is a horrible human being. She’s practically excited by the prospect of violence after the Chauvin verdict, regardless of what it is. If there’s one thing we’ve really learned about the Democrats since last summer it’s that they lust for this unrest in their liberal hellhole cities. Elected Democratic officials have repeatedly condoned and urged on rioters. Waters is merely carrying on the tradition now.

"But some dude in a viking helmet or something."

The House's Failure to Censure Maxine Waters Proves Why the Filibuster Is Desperately Needed . . . “ 'I’ll give you that Congresswoman Waters may have given you something on appeal that may result in this whole trial being overturned,” Judge Peter Cahill told defense attorney Eric Nelson on Monday.

"Cahill all but accused Rep. Waters of putting her thumb on the scale against Chauvin." . . .

Why Maxine Waters Wanted a Mistrial for Derek Chauvin  . . . "Rep. Waters and most Democrats actually want the bedlam to continue. After all, racializing everything by pointing fingers at the straw men of white supremacy; white privilege; and the conveniently invisible and unmeasurable systemic, structural, and internalized variants of racism is the bread and butter of the Democrats. Without it, they have no raison d'être." . . .

Today's House Vote on Censuring Maxine Waters Just Proves the Worst About Democrats  . . . "That Waters wasn’t censured for her latest round of encouraging radical leftists to be confrontational shows the absolute worst kind of hypocrisy in Democrats, and Republicans should make sure to routinely remind people of that from now until Election Day 2022." . . .

Israel Believes Biden Just Weeks Away From Signing New Iran Nuclear Deal

As the Biden administration spares no effort in appeasing and cajoling Iran to restore the 2015 nuclear pact, the rogue regime has renewed threats to destroy Israel.

 Legal Insurrection

Senior Israeli official: “We will not be surprised if within weeks the US and other world powers sign a deal with Iran.”

"Israeli officials believe that President Joe Biden may be just weeks away from inking a new nuclear deal with Iran. Jerusalem “will not be surprised if within weeks the US and other world powers sign a deal with Iran,” an Israeli official told media.

"The Biden administration is currently engaged in European Union-mediated talks with Iran to restore the Obama-era nuclear deal. The White House has already made major concessions to Tehran, including sanctions relief, revoking enforcement of the U.N. weapons embargo, and removing the terrorist designation of an Iranian-backed Yemeni jihadi group.

"The Times of Israel reported Israeli officials’ comments:

Israeli officials on Sunday night expressed concern that the Biden administration will rush to rejoin the nuclear deal with Iran, arguing that Washington’s negotiating power is compromised by its eagerness to clinch a pact.

“Both sides, the Americans and the Iranians, want a deal. The Iranians smell that the Americans want an agreement at any price,” an official told Channel 12 on condition of anonymity, following a top-level security cabinet meeting on the issue.

“The outcome is known from the start — a return to the Iran deal with amendments,” the official added.

The official said such a deal, in the long term, “will restrict Israel’s freedom of movement. It’s very troubling.”

Another senior Israeli official told the Axios site that they feared a deal could come very soon. “We will not be surprised if within weeks the US and other world powers sign a deal with Iran.”

How can any reasonable person vote Democrat or for their sock puppet Biden?

Throughout the Obama presidency, it became clear that Obama's goal was to abandon the Constitution in favor of a socialist-style system with an all-powerful government and a people divided by race, with a system of government spoils determining winners and losers.  Biden was on board.

Biden's statement following the Chauvin verdict was disgraceful  "Biden was always a vicious buffoon.  That is, he's a man with a small, feral intelligence that he's managed to leverage into power by sinking his talons into whatever racial or ideological hatred is popular at the time.  In many ways, he was made for this moment, which culminated with him, as the current occupant of the White House, following a trial predicated on jury intimidation, with a statement oozing contempt for the nation he governs.

"In the 1970s, when Biden entered the White House, he attached himself to the white supremacists and segregationists.  By the 1980s, when their heyday had passed, he joined forces with Ted "Chappaquiddick" Kennedy, an alcoholic manslaughterer and the terror of decent women, to launch a racist attack against Clarence Thomas, a black man of dignity, intelligence, and integrity, solely because Thomas wasn't prepared as a judge to jettison the Constitution to achieve leftist political ends.

"In the 1990s, Biden reinvented himself as tough on crime. One of his signature accomplishments was the 1994 Crime Bill, which sent three generations of Black men to prison. It took Donald Trump to begin undoing its effects on the Black community, in which young men were raised by gangsters because their fathers were rotting in jail thanks to Joe Biden." . . .

If Biden believes in the White privilege–Black victimization line he's spouting, it would behoove him to leave the White House immediately.  As long as he stays there, a symbol of systemic racism in America, he is, in his own words, "a stain on our nation's soul."  The fact that he has no intention of leaving is the strongest argument one can make that he doesn't believe a word he's saying.

The trial of Derek Chauvin has unleashed the dogs of thuggery and revolution  . . . "The primary lesson the militant left will take away from the Chauvin trial is not that he was found guilty but that its tactics work.  Leftists' willingness to use violence, looting, intimidation, and threats has succeeded beyond their wildest dreams as they watched a judge and jury succumb to their threats and history of belligerence.  Further, the elected members of the Democrat party as well as the Democrat media and the bulk of the ruling elites refused to criticize their tactics and in fact defended them and regurgitated their talking points as if they were trained seals." . . .

Let's be clear: Maxine Waters knew her rhetoric would incite violence in Minneapolis—but she doesn't care, she just requests police escorts for herself.

I was shot because of this kind of dangerous rhetoric.

Where is the outrage from Dems & the media? They need to condemn this.

The Resistance Begins; But we have a lot of work to do if we are to save America.

 Finally, former Trump policy advisor Stephen Miller has formed a group called America First Legal to assist Republican attorneys with challenging executive branch abuses in addition to filing lawsuits of its own.

The Resistance Begins › American Greatness (amgreatness.com)   "It is now clear that the Biden Administration poses the greatest threat to the American experiment we have seen in modern history. To be sure, the Obama Administration was a major threat but the Biden team seems determined to push the boundaries of radicalism far beyond even what Barack Obama had fantasized, even though we must admit he laid the foundation for Biden. 

"Whether it’s support for open borders, the use of illegal Executive Orders, the undermining of our constitutional rights, or the unprecedented demonization and harassment of conservatives based on phony racial narratives, the Biden agenda is a total assault on America’s founding principles, the rule of law, and our democratic institutions.  

"It is not known at this time whether America will survive this assault. To be sure, if Biden succeeds with packing the court, converting D.C. or Puerto Rico into new states, granting amnesty to millions of illegal aliens, and institutionalizing the corruption of our electoral system, we may never recover the America of our fathers. Rather, we will witness the evolution of what one could call a “soft” police state, characterized by cronyism, socialism, globalism, and the complete censorship and ostracization of everyone and anyone not supportive of the revolution. " . . . 

Following the Chauvin verdict, there are two videos you should see "The Derek Chauvin trial and verdict may well mark a turning point in America. At one level, we’ve seen our criminal justice system reduced to one terrible message: Blacks win and Whites lose or your cities will burn. If true, this is a disaster for Black and White communities alike. At another level, this moment may be the prod that all Americans who believe in a free, colorblind society need to push them out of their comfort zones and into the ideological war being waged in America. Candace Owens has articulated the first level; while Ben Domenech has stated the second." . . .   Now, this lady has a backbone.
