Richmond, Va.—Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam is expected to announce plans Thursday for the removal of an iconic statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee from Richmond’s prominent Monument Avenue, a senior administration official told The Associated Press. The governor will direct the statue to be moved off its massive pedestal and put into storage while his administration seeks input on a new location, according to the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the official was not authorized to speak before the governor’s announcement.(Snip) Also on Wednesday, Richmond Mayor Levar Stoney announced plans to remove the other Confederate monuments along Monument Avenue,
A 13-year-old boy accused of being involved in the murder of Tessa Majors pleaded guilty to robbery Wednesday. The teen admitted handing over knife used to kill the Barnard College student at a hearing in the Manhattan Family Court, The New York Daily News reports. Majors, 18, was fatally stabbed during a robbery in Morningside Park near the Barnard campus in upper Manhattan in December last year. Prosecutors had said that Rashaun Weaver, 14, stabbed Majors and that Luchiano Lewis, 14, prevented her from escaping as she called for help. They both pleaded not guilty to murder in February.
Let there be no doubt where Ben & Jerry’s stands. The ice cream maker has called on Americans to "dismantle white supremacy" and "grapple with the sins of our past" as nationwide protests against racial injustice stretch into their eighth day. In a forceful statement posted to the company's website late on Tuesday, Ben & Jerry's describes the death of George Floyd, an unarmed black man, at the hands of a white police officer as the result of "inhumane police brutality that is perpetuated by a culture of white supremacy."(Snip) Companies including Nike, Netflix, Twitter, Disney, Facebook and Intel have condemned racism and injustice in recent days.
The police-involved death of George Floyd last week in Minneapolis demonstrates an abuse of power and a need for a renewed national conversation about America's criminal justice system, Fox News Radio's Trey Gowdy asserted Tuesday. In Wednesday's episode of "The Trey Gowdy Podcast," the former House Oversight Committee chairman said all Americans should be angered by Floyd's death.(Snip) "It was wrong, even if George Floyd had lived. It was a crime, even if he had lived. It was excessive, even if he had lived. But, he did not. He was killed. And, that is murder. It is the unlawful taking of a life.
Google was sued on Tuesday in a proposed class action accusing the internet search company of illegally invading the privacy of millions of users by pervasively tracking their internet use through browsers set in “private” mode. The lawsuit seeks at least $5 billion, accusing the Alphabet Inc unit of surreptitiously collecting information about what people view online and where they browse, despite their using what Google calls Incognito mode.(Snip) This helps Google learn about users’ friends, hobbies, favorite foods, shopping habits, and even the “most intimate and potentially embarrassing things” they search for online, the complaint said. Google “cannot continue to engage in the covert
An elderly black woman has slammed looters saying they 'lied' when they said 'Black Lives Matter' and telling them to 'get a job' after her Brooklyn store was destroyed in riots. Shocking footage posted on social media shows the distraught New Yorker blasting the actions of looters as she stands in front of her shell of a store with its front now exposed and wires seen dangling down from the ceiling. 'The problem that bothers me? You said Black Lives Matter,' the emotional black woman is heard saying while other people cleaning up the destruction look on.(Snip) Why don't you choke me?
If it seems like blackface, it probably is. A 16-year-old aspiring makeup influencer who goes by catharinas_beauty on TikTok is facing backlash online after posting a blackface video, apparently in an effort to promote racial unity, that ultimately went awfully awry. The since-deleted clip, which has more than 1.1 million views since it was reposted on Twitter, shows the Austrian teen applying dark-colored makeup to half her face and neck with the two sides separated by a melting pattern.(Snip) “I only wanted to send a message against racism, but I did it wrong,” she writes on Instagram.

Tiger Woods was swarmed on social media this week by critics who didn’t want to hear part of his George Floyd message: “We can make our points without burning and looting the very neighborhoods we live in.” The golf icon’s critics came out in droves and berated him along racial and political lines for attempting to strike a balance between empathy for Mr. Floyd—the 46-year-old man killed while in the custody of now-former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin—and disdain for the destruction in cities nationwide in the wake of Mr. Floyd’s death.(Snip) “I have always had the utmost respect for law
The looters ransacking luxe stores in Soho appear to be large, rival groups engaged in a “very well-organized looting scheme,” according to a local who has been watching them across several days. Jarrod Jordan told The Post he has monitored two groups—one of which has a caravan of luxury vehicles including Bentleys and Mercedes—as they prowled the neighborhood and broke into high-end stores amid the chaos of unrest over the police custody death of George Floyd.(Snip) People in cars—some of which have out-of-state plates—come to scout out the storefronts and take photos during the day.
Grant Napear was fired by his radio station and resigned as the Sacramento Kings play-by-play announcer Tuesday after his tweet Sunday saying “All Lives Matter” amid the George Floyd protests was met with backlash. Napear, a graduate of Syosset High School on Long Island, tweeted “All Lives Matter…Every Single One!” after former Kings star DeMarcus Cousins asked the 60-year-old for his view on the Black Lives Matter movement. The phrase, “All Lives Matter,” is seen as mocking the Black Lives Matter movement, which began in 2013 as a campaign against systematic racism and violence toward black people.
A teen murder suspect in the slaying of Barnard College student Tessa Majors is expected to plead guilty Wednesday for his involvement in her botched mugging death, according to an official. Zyairr Davis, 13, has admitted to helping Luchiano Lewis, 15, and Rashaun Weaver, 15, rob the 18-year-old college freshman in Morningside Park in December, but has denied being the one who stabbed her. Lewis allegedly put Majors in “a bear hug or headlock” during the robbery, while Weaver allegedly stabbed her with such fury that feathers flew from her winter coat, authorities have alleged. The pair were arrested in February
The captain of New Orleans’ largest Carnival parading organization has apologized for social media posts that featured a photo of a black child caressing the face of a white child under the slogan “#ALLLIVESMATTER Our Souls Are the Same Color.” Julie Lea said that she was unaware that the use of that hashtag in posts, which appeared on both her personal Instagram account and on Nyx social media, would be divisive. “I apologize and take responsibility for my own lack of knowledge,” she said in a press release on Monday.(Snip) Historically, the slogan "All Lives Matter" has been associated with criticism of the Black

Singers John Legend and Lizzo, and actresses Natalie Portman and Taraji P. Henson are among the Hollywood celebrities who’ve signed a letter pushing the defunding all police departments in the wake of the police involved death of Minneapolis man George Floyd. The open letter claims that in 2017, $194 billion was spent on the police by America’s various governments even as police have “continued profiling, harassment, terror and killing of Black communities. Black communities are living in persistent fear of being killed by state authorities like police, immigration agents, or even white vigilantes who are emboldened by state actors.
Meghan Markle has complained that Kate Middleton 'snaps her fingers' and is quickly backed by the Palace after a negative story, yet when she was crucified by the media she received no support, sources have told DailyMail.com. 'Meghan said Kensington Palace never once came to her defense when she was being shredded by the media. Now Kate gets a bit of negative press, and the Palace comes out in less than 24 hours to rebuke the claims made against her,' a friend said.
Police sirens wailed up and down 8th Avenue in Manhattan, and New York Police Department helicopters hovered overhead Monday night. The rioters, according to my social media feeds, were several blocks away from my home, pillaging a clothing outlet. A family member sent me a photo he took, from his window, of a jewelry store being ransacked, with no cops in sight.
New York City, like so many others across the country, is under siege.
The police here are not in control of the streets. Anyone can turn on the television or open up social media and see rioters chanting profanely, destroying public and private property, or even attacking women shop owners.

Infectious diseases expert Dr. Anthony Fauci said that the United States will have about 100 million doses of a coronavirus vaccine by the end of the year.
Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), said that several potential vaccines are entering clinical trials around the world and may produce a viable one by the end of the year. In the United States, the biotech company Moderna is scheduled to enter Phase III, or the final phase of testing, this summer.
Fauci told the Journal of the American Medical Association that even though the Moderna vaccine is months away from potential appproval,
Government officials should investigate the treatment of protesters who gathered near the White House on Monday, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said Tuesday.
“Secretary [of Defense Mark] Esper, General [Mark] Milley should not allow the U.S. military to come within a country mile of these ugly stunts,” he stated in remarks given from the Senate floor, according to the Hill.
“The administration is using the military as a tool to intimidate American citizens and the Department of Defense IG must immediately launch an investigation into how the U.S military was used and whether it was consistent with the laws of our nation,” he continued.

As protests for racial justice and against police brutality continue to unfold across the country (and worldwide), many of the events have turned violent, with nighttime burning and looting taking the place of more peaceful daytime rallies. And unsurprisingly, President Trump is only stoking the (literal) fires with his incendiary and not at all fact-based tweets. (Namely, he called protesters “THUGS” in his characteristic all-caps tweet-shout, and dropped a phrase with racist origins that also glorifies violence: “When the looting starts, the shooting starts.”) But among all the nation’s leaders who, unlike Trump, are actually trying to do some leading
WASHINGTON— Former Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein told lawmakers Wednesday that he would not have approved an FBI surveillance application for a former Trump campaign aide during the Russia investigation had he known at the time about the problems that have since been revealed.Rosenstein’s comments amounted to a striking concession that law enforcement officials made mistakes as they scrutinized ties between Russia and Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign. But even as he acknowledged the legitimacy of anger from Trump and his allies, he defended his appointment of special counsel Robert Mueller to lead the probe and affirmed his support for the conclusion that Russia interfered but did not criminally conspire
Michigan’s Governor Gretchen Whitmer has become a laughingstock for imposing draconian lockdown restrictions on her constituents while her own family violates them. Her husband was caught red-handed demanding special treatment because of his wife’s office in violating her restrictions on boating and use of vacation houses, something she first lied about and then tried to pass off as a joke.
But yesterday, she topped herself and uttered a phrase that should live on as her emblem of indifference to the suffering of those whom she oppresses. Like the final generation French aristocrats before the revolution, she causally revealed her cluelessness of the misery of those she oppresses.

Comments:
What would the narrative be if the rioting, destruction, and killing masqerading as protest was being done by "dangerous right-wing radicals fueled by the hateful rhetoric of Donald Trump" (using MSM boilerplate text there)? Would we be scolded about how white lives matter, or would there be lectures on how racist and evil we are, and how we need to upend our culture and revile our forebears?
