Ilhan Omar’s Daughter Busted Trying To Help Rioters in Minneapolis Get Supplies 
"Ilhan Omar is an interesting figure and she has no idea how popular she could be, even on the right, if she gave up the anti-USA stuff and showed gratitude for all that this great country has given her and her family.
"From a refugee camp to Congresswoman who celebrates America’s freedom and greatness and generosity is a great story and one both sides would applaud.
"Except instead of praising the country that gave her everything, she trashes it and that is the true tragedy of Omar – when she gets older and realizes what a fool she has been it will be too late.

And it may be too late for her daughter based on the below story." . . .  

"In a series of tweets on Thursday, Hirsi shared numerous tweets that could be read as calls to action against the police.

"One of the tweets Hirsi promoted was posted by Twin Cities DSA, an antifa-affiliated account.

Supplies? Like these bricks? 

The View host loses it, claims Trump only wants to reopen economy again to ‘line his own pockets’  . . . "The vicious anti-Trump hatred from leftists truly knows no bounds. Trump is just a greedy monster to them, when there is just no proof of anything they are saying. It’s patently absurd and ridiculous." . . . But they have an applause cheerleader.

The media is promoting once again that riots are righteous anger.  . . . "Consider CNN. Rioters attacked its headquarters last night but instead of Jeff Zucker demanding an end to the violence, CNN promoted it as outrage to an injustice.". . . 

Of those molding the thoughts of this generation: Rutgers prof: 'F*ck each and every Trump supporter'

How many of those rioting and burning are students of Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies professors, bored because they can't find a job? TD

"Rutgers University Associate Professor of Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Brittney Cooper says Trump supporters are to blame for the disproportionate number of black Americans who have died as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. 

"In a tweet thread on Tuesday, Cooper wrote, "I feel like most Black people are clear that this utterly absurd to push [sic] to re-open the country is all about a gross necropolitical calculation that it is Black people who are dying disproportionately from COVID. Not only do white conservatives not care about Black life, but my most cynical negative read of the white supremacists among them is that they welcome this massive winnowing of Black folks in order to slow demographic shifts and shore up political power."  . . .

Did Bill de Blasio Just Become the Most Hated Man in America?

While Trump’s rhetoric has been divisive, it was despicable for de Blasio to attempt to blame the riots and looting and destruction on the president. Trump has condemned the horrific death of George Floyd, the black man who died after a police officer knelt on his neck for nearly ten minutes. The president ordered the FBI and the Department of Justice to investigate the case, demonstrating his seriousness in bringing the cops to justice.

PJ Media

"As the riots and destruction across America continued for the fifth day after protests originally over the death of George Floyd devolved into looting and destruction in Minneapolis, New York Mayor Bill de Blasio despicably attempted to score political points by blaming President Donald Trump for the “atmosphere” of “tension and hatred and division” behind the protests. Yet he managed to alienate the anti-Trump left a few hours later by refusing to condemn police who drove a cruiser into a crowd of protesters.

“ 'I’ve not seen the specific words coming out of the White House or actions but I can tell you this, and this is the blunt truth: The president of the United States helped to create this atmosphere, and that’s the tragedy here,” de Blasio said in a press conference on Saturday.

“ 'It doesn’t matter what your party affiliation is, it doesn’t matter what you think of President Trump, there’s been an uptick in tension and hatred and division since he came along, it’s just a fact,” the mayor added. “And it’s not the reason for any specific act but it has helped to poison the atmosphere. So we’ve got to get back to leaders talking about unity.”

Celebrities and the rioters: virtue-signalling and boot licking

The Federalist’s David Harsanyi asked Mr. Rogen to donate instead to black Minneapolis residents like Stephanie Wilford, who gave an interview sobbing over the destruction, or Korboi Balla, a former firefighter who saw rioters destroy the bar he had bought with his life savings.

Isn't it about time Target got rid of Chrissie Teigen?  "Chrissie Teigen, as Andrea Widburg noted here, is joining the growing celebrity cavalcade of woke leftists vowing to bail out "protestors." She pledged $200,000 to get the looters out of jail, the better to Get Trump, upping her pledge when people on Twitter protested.

"It was bizarre stuff, given that she's already made millions from her shelf space selling her own brand of cookware for Target.

"Wasn't Target ... one of the first business to have been trashed utterly by the violent, thieving looters? Hasn't Target been forced to shut 24 stores in Minnesota alone due to looting?

"The footage from the south Minneapolis looting of Target, on the first night of the riots, was utterly appalling. And the destruction from the first night sent the message to all the dirtballs out here that looting was profitable and blue-city authorities would be doing nothing. After that, they hit Target again." . . .

Biden Campaign Staffers Contribute To Group Bailing Out Rioters In MN
. . . "The Fund cleverly used social media to capture the attention of celebrities, offering Twitter users an opportunity to match donations being made, thus, being able to virtue-signal that they are down with those being arrested – the rioters and looters. Biden campaign staffers were happy to announce participation on their Twitter accounts. For example, this is a tweet from a self-described “Organizer for Joe Biden for President”: . . .

Like clockwork, actors and celebrities jumped on the bandwagon to prove their wholeness. Once the matching fund challenge began on Thursday, “dozens” of donations from the entertainment field have come in, usually around the $50 level of contribution.

In the meantime, in his latest attempt to stay in the spotlight, left-wing documentary filmmaker Michael Moore stoked racial tensions Friday morning.

This, after demanding that the Minneapolis Police Department headquarters must be demolished as a “contrition to Black America”.

Celebrities blasted for donating to protester bail fund as rioting, violence escalate  
. . . "The Federalist’s David Harsanyi asked Mr. Rogen to donate instead to black Minneapolis residents like Stephanie Wilford, who gave an interview sobbing over the destruction, or Korboi Balla, a former firefighter who saw rioters destroy the bar he had bought with his life savings.
“ 'Rich white dude bailing out thugs who are burning down black neighborhoods,” tweeted Mr. Harsanyi.
"Tweeted another commenter: “You gonna donate to the small businesses that had their whole livelihoods destroyed by these ‘protestors’ that burned their building to the ground or looted all their stuff?”
"Others pointed out that some Democrats are blaming the rioting on white supremacists, meaning that those being bailed out may be Nazis and fascists." . . .

Gullible rioters and their psychopathic press, like, you know...CNN

Gullible rioters are doing the bidding of radical progressive ringleaders bent on destroying America 
"Meanwhile, mainstream media is trying to paint this as an effort by "right-wing white supremacists." Seriously."

. . . "This is clearly a coordinated effort. Black Lives Matter, the organization that’s at the forefront of these initial protests, have been turned into rioting, looting masses for the sake of promoting the destruction of the United States. Many if not most of them aren’t even aware of the agenda for which they are being utilized. They still believe this is about George Floyd, but their protests have been commandeered by evil forces who are using the combination of lockdown frustration and racial anger to push for anarchy.

"Antifa is clearly involved, but contrary to popular belief, they are not the ringleaders. They may be coordinating efforts on the ground, but the level of coordination and sophistication tell us very clearly that someone else is calling the shots. Antifa has never been clever enough to pull off anything like this. Police stations are under siege. Mass looting is happening. Someone else is organizing this, but who? Is it China? Russia? America Communists? George Soros? Demonic forces? All of the above?" . . .

Just Ignore Your Own Eyes, CNN’s Josh Campbell Implies White Supremacists Behind Riots In Minneapolis

"As my colleagues Elizabeth Vaughn reported, MSNBC’s Joy Reid spread the claim that white supremacists were behind the riots in Minneapolis.
"So disregard the fact that you see the locals looting and the radical leftists rioting there, 
eid’s got the real scoop for you.
"But this ridiculous narrative is not only being spread by Reid, it’s also being encouraged by CNN’s Josh Campbell.
"Here’s what he said: . . ."

USA Today has a story saying both sides are right but that it’s the far-left protesters who are mostly responsible thus far:

Riots were clearly pre-planned domestic terrorism by the radical left

Then they simply let the evil in humanity take charge. TD

Little do they know these leftists care little about them. They are ideologues and all they care about is their ideology. The really sad thing is President Trump is the first president to come along in a long time who really has helped black Americans. M. Dowling

Independent Sentinel  "Last night’s riots in Dallas, Atlanta, and elsewhere were pre-planned by radical leftist organizations. Organizers were directing the crowd where to go. They had pallets of 100 bricks ready for rioters at strategic locations, and were yelling to the crowd “go left, there are 100 bricks on the corner over there”
"This wasn’t random chaos, and it’s not grassroots.
"As Attorney General Bill Barr said yesterday, the agitators are “far-left” and the violence appears to be planned.
“In many places, it appears the violence is planned, organized, and driven by left extremist groups, using Antifa-like tactics, many of whom travel from outside the state to promote the violence.”
"We posted this next clip twice but it deserves posting again and again:" . . .

I refuse to allow a bunch of ANTIFA affiliated thugs to come to my beloved city of Atlanta and burn it to the ground, under the guise of #BlackLivesMatter. They don’t give a damn about black lives. They only care about DESTRUCTION.

Leftists Working Overtime to Frame the Narrative on George Floyd Riots

CNN peddled this same nonsense with a recent article headlined "The protest pictures alone tell the story of America's racial hierarchy," which used selectively edited pictures to suggest that callous white cops were needlessly throwing tear gas at innocent black teens for protesting peacefully, while dangerous white protesters were left alone by police at the Michigan State Capitol, despite the fact they were putting everyone in danger by carrying long guns and refusing to social distance and wear masks. 

Christopher Paslay   "In 1989, District of Columbia Mayor Marion Barry, Jr. insisted that his city was basically crime-free except for all the murder.  "Except for the killings, Washington has one of the lowest crime rates in the country," he told a luncheon audience at the National Press Club.  

"On May 28, MSNBC reporter Ali Velshi said something just as mind-bogglingly absurd.  As violent riots erupted in sections of Minneapolis over the death of George Floyd, Velshi insisted that the protests were basically peaceful.

" 'I wanna be clear on how I characterize this," Velshi said, as buildings literally burned to the ground in the background of the broadcast.  "This is mostly a protest.  It is not, it is not, generally speaking, unruly."

"It's interesting to watch Velshi struggle to find the words to shape the narrative he's trying so desperately to tell: that the violence and upheaval unfolding around him aren't really happening.  That the burning buildings are somehow not indicative of what is really taking place on the ground.  That the whole scene is really just a peaceful protest, so please don't misinterpret the fires, the destruction and evacuation of Minneapolis's 3rd police precinct, the vandalism of police vehicles, and the looting of the Target and arson of the AutoZone as "unruly."

"According to the Saint Paul Police Department, more than 170 businesses were damaged or looted that night, and there were dozens of fires.

"Liberals are so obsessed with controlling the narrative on race, so immersed in their own self-serving propaganda, that they actually believe that society is going to accept their bald-faced lies over reality itself — over the television footage of the destruction, over the police reports documenting the property damage, over the cries from governors and mayors urging citizens to please stop the looting and rioting." . . .

A bit of decency emerges: Incredible Video Shows Army of Volunteers Showing Up In Minneapolis

RedState

"Here’s a reminder that humanity still has its moments.

"After days of rioting, looting, and violence across the country, the sun rose in Minneapolis this morning to reveal an eerily quiet hellscape. Businesses were burned out as people walked the streets documenting the devastation.

"Then something amazing happened.

"What looks to be hundreds of people showed up to help clean the area that had been destroyed the night prior. People were told to show up with brooms and trash bags and the call was answered. These are people that didn’t have to give their Saturday to do this, not after so much venom has been spewed, but they did it anyway. That’s real empathy for the people of that neighborhood, not the faux anarchy being perpetrated by the left’s Antifa army.

"In the end, this may not make much of a difference. It’s a small gesture to a neighborhood that’s going to take years to recover. But it shows that not everyone has lost their minds, nor their hearts in 2020." . . .

Newsom Fiat: No California Protest Can Have More Than 100 People

No, this is not, repeat NOT from the Babylon Bee. The Tunnel Dweller

California Political Review  "Regressive Supreme Leader Gavin Newsom is angry.  On Saturday more than 2,000 showed up at the Capitol to protest his dictatorship, issuing 40 Executive Orders and changing close to 200 State laws, without a vote of the Legislature or even telling them in advance.  He signed over 400 NO BID contracts—some for firms owned by the Chinese Communist Party.  People are angry—so they protest.

"Now, in the name of “safety and health”, Newsom has issued another illegal edict—no protest can have more than 100 people.  Watch as that edict is violated in every corner of the State.  This is no different than what the Chinese Communist Party is doing to the people of Hong Kong.  No, I am not accusing Newsom as being a communist—I am noting he is using their tactics to control the population." . . .

“ 'The agency “recommended” that protesters use “alternative” channels such as online and broadcasting platforms.

"Under the new restrictions, attendance at a protest is limited to 25 percent of the area’s maximum occupancy or capped at 100 attendees, whichever is lower.

"The restrictions also say physical distancing of 6 feet between attendees coming from different households will be enforced at all times. Failure to abide by this rule, the department said, “may result in an order to disperse or other enforcement action.”

"Unless the people use their First Amendments rights, they will continue to be taken from us—right to assembly, right to free speech, freedom of religion—all gone.  Even the Legislature, per the Governors new budget loses most of its rights to participate in the governance of California.  Obviously, Newsom is not watching re-runs of Seinfeld, he is studying the Chinese method of government." . . .

You MUST have a reservation.

Exploiting George Floyd's Death

Lloyd Marcus  "99.9% of our American family is saddened and outraged over the wrongful death of George Floyd. We want the responsible police officer prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

"And yet, rather than bringing our nation together, fake news media and the Democrats are excitedly throwing gasoline on the flames of racial hate and division. Their message is that America is still a hellhole of racism in which blacks are routinely murdered by whites and police. Blacks must continue voting for Democrats to keep racist white America at bay.

"As expected, Democrats and fake news media are absurdly blaming Trump for Floyd's death. These vile human beings in the media will say anyone wearing a MAGA hat is a racist complicit in Floyd's death. Minneapolis rioters chanted, “Kill the white folks.”

. . . 

The dirty little secret is Democrats love creating race-based crises because it allows them opportunities to demand more sure-to-fail gazillion dollar government-fix-it-programs which end up fattening Democrat pockets. Along with selling their lie that America sucks, Democrats believe spreading racial hate and division wins them votes.  (Emphasis added) by TD)

. . . "As a proud grateful American who happens to be black, I am appalled to witness Democrats and fake news media exploiting the tragic death of George Floyd. They are stirring the pot of racial hate to instigate violence while disrespecting blacks as useful idiots.

"Blacks have experienced unprecedented prosperity and historic low unemployment under Trump.  To separate black voters from Trump, insidiously evil Democrats will use Floyd's death to outrageously assert that reelecting Trump will mean open season for police to murder blacks. As baseless and stupid as that sounds, it reflects Democrats' low opinion of blacks. It is the sort of emotional brain-dead lie Democrats believe will win over easily deceived black voters."  Lloyd Marcus, The Unhyphenated American

140 Republican Lawmakers Pile Onto Lawsuit Against Democrats Over Proxy Voting, File Injunctions On New Proxy Votes

The Federalist

"An additional 140 House Republicans have joined a lawsuit Friday filed earlier this week against Speaker Nancy Pelosi over new rules in the lower chamber allowing for proxy voting.
"The suit was initially filed Tuesday by House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy joined by 20 GOP lawmakers and four constituents on the eve of the first time members of the House have ever voted without being physically present, upending more than 200 years of precedent.  
“ 'In the 231-year existence of the United States Congress, neither the House of Representatives nor the Senate has ever permitted a member to vote by proxy from the floor of the chamber,” the lawsuit opens. “Through the Civil War; through the burning of the Capitol during the War of 1812 and the terrorist attacks on Washington on 9/11; and through the Yellow Fever Epidemic of 1793 and the Spanish Flu Pandemic of 1918, the Congress of the United States has never before flinched from its constitutional duty to assemble at the Nation’s Capital and conduct the People’s business in times or national peril.”

"Among those joining the lawsuit that now features 161 Republican Congressman includes Shipley Swayze, a constituent of Florida Democratic Rep. Charlie Crist’s who cited the “ongoing public health emergency” as reason for his absence from Washington for Wednesday’s legislative business.
" 'Crist however, held no such reservations in attending the NASA/SpaceX historic space launch on the same day, which was ultimately postponed to Saturday due to weather." . . .
