Protests continued into Wednesday night in south Minneapolis, where Chopper 5 captured video of apparent looting at a nearby Target and other area businesses. A fire has engulfed one business as well. The protests are happening in response to the death of George Floyd, who was killed Monday night after an incident that involved Minneapolis Police officers. All four officers involved in the arrest were fired on Tuesday.

Korean shop owners didn't have police protection during the Rodney King riots, and they didn't have their shops looted or burned down. They used mean'ole guns to keep rioters at bay. They fired off a few rounds when rioters showed up to let them know they were serious.

Here is part of the Governor's response to the looting and mayhem: Seek justice, seek fairness, and reach out to others. Show each other kindness. The world is watching Minnesota right now. We need to answer by saying and demonstrating peacefully... I'm sure the rioters will take his message to heart (as they plug in their new big screen TV).

Stealing and destroying other people’s property is not a response to the cop who did this. They’re just taking advantage of the situation. The Mayor can’t even bring himself to condemn this behavior. The liberals agree that these thugs are entitled and if you think they’re not you’re a racist.

Many Americans will remember President Donald Trump’s presidency as a four-yearlong storm of tweets, rallies and on-air rants that ended in a mob riot and historic second impeachment. But there was more to the Trump presidency than attention-hogging political drama and conflict; often unnoticed, Trump and his administration actually did succeed in changing some of the ways Washington works. From imposing a ban on Chinese-made drones to rolling back rules on sexual harassment, from cracking down on robocalls to letting states legalize marijuana, Trump changed some key areas of federal policy in ways that may have lasting impact well after he’s gone.

Her bill HR 1 trashes the U.S. Constitution in an attempt to rig the system and make it virtually impossible to elect a Republican president or Congress again. It’s a power grab. The bill eviscerates state voting laws and forces all the states to conform to a set of rules that includes automatic voter registration. Anyone who goes to a DMV or applies for food stamps, Medicaid or other social services, or attends a public college will be automatically enrolled to vote.

I’m probably second to none in my dislike for Meghan Markle. There’s something unattractive about a mature woman marrying into the British Royal family with one of the world’s most expensive weddings, hanging out with the Queen, living in insane luxury…and then whining non-stop about the horror of her life. There’s something even less appealing when that woman accuses the Royal family of race hatred. And the problem is that, when it comes to that left-wing diva, Meghan Markle, it’s hard to believe most of what she says. After weeks of hype, CBS finally televised Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s interview with Oprah.
