Establishment politicians are "right wing" in their eyes. Their definition of that then and ours is drastically different.

What's strange to me is how these protests are spreading to the smaller towns too. They are everywhere and highly organized. Makes me wonder if higher-ups, possibly within the Democrat party, are organizing these.

PROGRESSIVES ! DO you think Das Reich, I mean CNN will retract it's story?

U.S. Park Police have told reporters they did not use tear gas in LaFayette Square last night ahead of the President’s walk to St. John’s Church. Instead, police officers used smoke canisters to disperse protesters who were hurling bottles at them.
The news – from Park Police themselves – potentially renders virtually every mainstream media organization and Twitter verified user guilty of spreading misinformation.
WTOP’s Neil Augenstein reported this morning: “U.S. Park Police is explaining its decision-making in clearing Lafayette Square, at least 20 minutes before DC’s 7p curfew, on night 4 of protests. A source says tear gas was never used — instead smoke cannisters [sic] were deployed, which don’t have an uncomfortable irritant in them.
“And, the source says Park Police didn’t know President Trump would be walking across the park several minutes later. Park Police say the reason the crowd was disbursed with smoke cannisters is that at that moment, officers were being pelted with water bottles. Another factor was that protesters had climbed on top of the structure at the north end of Lafayette Square that had been burned the day before.”
Adding to this, Augenstein said: “In theory it’s possible another agency used tear gas, in addition to Park Police using smoke cannisters [sic], but my source was on the scene, got a dose of smoke, but didn’t feel the irritants of tear gas.”
The news – the real news that is – has not yet led to changes in the establishment media’s reporting on this.
As of 11:17am, over two hours after the WTOP scoop, CNN and other news outlets continue to promote the fake news, uncaveated, about “tear gas” in LaFayette Park
The theory doesn’t even make sense on the face of it. Why would the police fire tear gas into an area the President was going to be walking into within the next few minutes?
And if police – as they say – weren’t aware the President would be walking across… do you think the Secret Service would let the President walk into tear gas, either?
We won’t hold our breath for an apology from CNN, but we will continue to monitor this story.

Battle, New York
Trump: Save NYC, Call up National Guard
De Blasio Under Fire

President Donald Trump on Tuesday demanded New York leaders call up the National Guard to defend the city.

Why aren't the people of NYC doing it themselves..........seems to me, if I owned anything where any of these looters and destruction prone idiots are or were, I'd be waiting to defend my property at any, and all costs.

Maybe that's just me..........

And, if it were me, lucky enough, I could pay any amount to "employ" my own security detail and would also, be standing there with them.

I wouldn't be counting on, or depending on, the Police, other good citizens, or anyone or anything, but, myself to preserve what was mine.

The news is pretty much impossible to watch right now. Of course the liberal stuff is crazy but I'm flipping around at lunch today and I come across a panel discussion on Fox. One person (Marie Harf) compared (a report of) a protester spitting at a police officer in Lansing to the burning, looting and sometimes shooting that's going on right now and no one called her on it. Has the entire news business been completely dumbed down or what? I tried watching some sports talk on Fox (Colin Cowherd) and all of his guests and the host, are giving similar dumb analogies. Colin's guest (Nick Wright) said if you killed a good guy and in protest someone bled on your nice carpet causing it to be replaced, why would anyone talk about the carpet???

OK, I'll never get that lunch hour back again and yeah, I'm now dumber for having watched it. But is that where we are with this story now? Is there nothing better to do in America today?

Horrific moment looters plow straight into a NYPD officer with their SUV in Greenwich Village after ransacking cell phone store amid George Floyd protests

An NYPD officer was left injured on Monday morning after he was run over by an SUV driven by looters who had just ransacked a Manhattan cell phone repair store, authorities have said.

Surveillance video shows a group of seven assailants running along Fifth Avenue and 8th Street in Greenwich Village at 3:30am, carrying various items in their arms having just broken into the I Fix Screens cell phone store nearby.

Some of the assailants then jump into a red Ford Explorer that had been waiting for them in the street. An NYPD van monitoring the situation from behind then speeds towards the SUV, before pulling alongside it to try and box it in.

An NYPD officer is seen getting out from the passenger side of the marked vehicle when the SUV drives away, running over the officer in its path and hauling him onto the hood of the car.

It was directed, obviously, to those who are; perhaps some newly permissive liberal friends.
Look man, I'm just trying to save ONE life.


Here at Omaha Outdoors, we’ve been inundated with inquiries from out-of-state folks – many from California – asking if we can ship them a gun directly. The answer is, of course, no. Despite what politicians and many in popular media claim, you can’t buy a gun online and have it shipped to your house. Well, you could, if you were a federally licensed firearm dealer (or federally licensed curio and relic collector) and your home was your place of business. Other than that, no, you can’t buy a gun online and have it shipped, especially across state lines, to your home.

What you’ll need to do to buy a gun from us is order it on our online store and select an FFL, a federally licensed firearm dealer, during the online checkout process. We ship the gun to the dealer near you – presuming the firearm and its accessories are legal in your area – and you visit the dealer to fill out the required ATF Form 4473 and undergo the federal and any applicable state background checks. Some states might require a waiting period – sure to be a sore point at a time when people feel the need for a gun to protect themselves NOW. Only then can you take your new firearm home.

We’re not alone in noticing that usually anti-gun people are suddenly very interested in having guns. On Twitter, Robert Evans wrote, “The sheer number of normally anti-gun people who have reached out to me about buying a firearm in the last week is wild.”

And my friends who work at other gun stores have seen a crazy surge in gun buying too, with one noting that their one-day sales total exceeded Black Friday by 25%, and that 75% of buyers were purchasing their first gun. He said, in explanation, “People need to protect their toilet paper.” Another friend noted that the amount of brass cased 9mm they usually sell in a month was gone in the first week, and that everything else would be sold out soon too if things continued at this pace.

We’ve all been told to practice “social distancing” in the coming months. Firearms are, in a way, the ultimate method of enforcing social distancing. I just hope all these new gun owners learn how to safely use their guns – and that they never need them for their intended purpose.

Personally, I don't think either should attend. His death has already been turned into a political **** show. Do we need to do the same with his funeral? If his family wants to support Biden, just come out and say it. No need to cheapen Floyd's funeral with his presence.

No, they're typically disinfranchised young people who grew up to realize participation trophies aren't worth squat and the painting their parents it up on the fridge sucked arse, the same as the rest of us, they just couldn't deal with not being "special".

I'm only halfway joking here.

They have the same benefits as the weather underground.

Interview with a member, coincidentally just a few weeks ago

Unmasking the leftist Antifa movement - CNN

Hot Takes

"While Antifa members don't fit a single category, they say many are millennials and many live on society's fringes: undocumented immigrants, transgender people, low-wage workers, those who don't conform to the traditional 9-to-5.

Antifa members also sometimes launch attacks against people who aren't physically attacking them. The movement, Crow said, sees alt-right hate speech as violent, and for that, its activists have opted to meet violence with violence."

I gotta say the requirement to wear a mask and the use of masks by Antifa is a strange coincidence.

I really wish he wouldn't do that. It looks too political. There also shouldn't be any halos placed around the head of George Floyd. He had passed a counterfeit bill and deserved to be arrested. If the police who responded to the scene had done their jobs properly, Floyd would be facing charges right now. He wasn't just some innocent bystander on the street being harassed.

Fox News host Tucker Carlson sets off a hand grenade in the West Wing by excoriating Jared Kushner claiming he has 'contempt for Donald Trump's voters' by pushing criminal justice reform

Fox News' host Tucker Carlson went after senior White House adviser Jared Kushner Monday night, saying no one has 'more contempt' for President Donald Trump's supporters than his son-in-law.

Carlson's attack was part of a nearly 30-minute monologue in which he criticized Trump's leadership on the protests that have broken out throughout the country in the wake of the death of George Floyd, a black man killed when a white cop knelt on his neck for eight minutes.

Conservatives have been wary of Jared Kushner's credentials; he was a longtime Democratic supporter before President Trump ran for office

'No one has more contempt for Donald Trump's voters than Jared Kushner does and no one expresses it more frequently,' the Fox News host said, adding that Kushner, who is married to Ivanka Trump, has 'subverted' the president's winning instincts.

Carlson said that Trump has signaled he wants to crack down on rioters, but 'every time he has been talked out of it by Jared Kushner and aides Kushner has hired and controls.'

The Fox News host also attacked Kushner's work on criminal justice reform, claiming it has released more criminals onto the street.

'As crime in this country continues to rise, Jared Kushner led a highly aggressive effort to let more criminals out of prison and back onto the street. This is reckless,' he said, going on to add that the 'liberal' Kushner has 'convinced the president that throwing up the prisons is the key to winning African-American votes in the fall and that those votes are essential to his reelection

As Carlson spoke, chyron on the screen read: 'KUSHNER IS LEADING TRUMP IN THE WRONG DIRECTION.'

'Jared is not a conservative he's never hidden who he is,' one Republican operative who is in regular contact with the White House told DailyMail.com. 'But it doesn't mean he's trying not to help conservative base.'
