Jennifer at RedState had this up first, but the attacks on law enforcement have entered a new odious phase: poisoning. During the George Floyd rioting, we saw cops getting run over, shot at, and beaten across the country. Floyd was killed on May 25 after he was arrested by the Minneapolis Police. The four officers involved…
A friend sent me this Chicago Tribune story over the weekend, and I had to read its key passage twice to make sure I was understanding it correctly. Unfortunately, I was. Amid all manner of unhinged derangement coursing through our society in this season of tumult, this still reads as satire. Alas, satire seems to be facing cancellation at the hands of…
The leadership in Seattle appeared to be in disarray on Friday after the city’s embattled mayor called the protesters who took over an “autonomous zone” in the city “patriotic” while the official who ordered police to flee the nearby precinct has refused to come forward. Despite the slow-moving disaster and protesters calling on Mayor Jenny Durkan and Chief Carmen Best…
Seattle police say they have received reports of armed guards and potential extortion in a self-declared autonomous zone that spans several blocks and includes a now-closed precinct. “We’ve heard, anecdotally, reports of citizens and businesses being asked to pay a fee to operate within this area.

A law enforcement officer in Georgia is going viral after he said he “has much respect” for Black Lives Matter protesters after the death of George Floyd — but he only kneels “for one person.” Georgia State Trooper O’Neal Saddler was allegedly asked to kneel during a demonstration in Hartwell while a bystander was recording. “If I didn’t have any respect, I wouldn’t [be…
CNN’s Alisyn Camerota gave Minneapolis City Council President Lisa Bender a chance to clarify her stance on the police, after the council signaled their intentions to abolish their police force. She wasn’t really saying that she wanted to “dismantle” the police was she? That she foresaw a “police-free future?” Oh yes, she was. “Yeah, and…
Well, it’s former Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein’s day to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee about the Russian collusion fiasco. And it’s not going very well. Well, for starters, Rosenstein doesn’t feel that disgraced ex-Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe lied to him. McCabe was fired because he lied. He, like Robert Mueller, also appeared…
Look, if it weren’t for the rioting, I would be forcefully supporting the peaceful and nonviolent protests calling for justice after the horrific death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis Police.

But I’m here. My brother wasn’t about that. My…
As we all were last night, President Trump was watching Minneapolis descend into total anarchy. Our own Julio Rosas is there documenting the insanity. The looting has not subsided. The violence intensified. And it culminated in the police headquarters in the city’s third precinct being evacuated, overrun by rioters, and then set ablaze. Police and firefighters were reportedly…
White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany is fairly new to her role, but she’s already used to fielding nonsense questions from the press. The dumb questions kept rolling on Tuesday. McEnany called on a reporter in the back (although his face was covered by a mask, social media correctly identified him as CNN political analyst…
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who signed legislation granting hospital and nursing home executives immunity from lawsuits related to the novel coronavirus last month, previously received a big-money boost from a powerful health care industry group, according to a new report.

During the White House press briefing Friday afternoon, Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany ripped reporters for a lack of “journalistic curiosity” and failing to ask Obama administration officials about the unmasking of General Michael Flynn. “Number one.

President Trump blasted the attorney general of Michigan late Thursday after she said she was going to have a “very serious conversation” with Ford Motor Co. for allowing the president to go without a mask during part of a tour of the company’s Rawsonville Components Plant in Ypsilanti. “The Wacky Do Nothing Attorney General of Michigan, Dana Nessel, is viciously threatening Ford Motor…
The Wall Street Journal editorial board didn’t mince words in its takeaway on Obamagate, writing Thursday that if President Trump’s team had done anything similar, “folks would be calling to bring back the guillotine.” “The larger truth here is now undeniable: The Obama Administration spied on the political competition, it continued that spying even after…

The note from Susan Rice was declassified by Acting…
President Trump was in no mood for gotcha questions during Monday’s press conference in the Rose Garden.
