A trio of right-wing extremists with military backgrounds have been busted for plotting riots at George Floyd protests in Las Vegas — part of a plan to overthrow the government, according to federal prosecutors. Army reservist Andrew T. Lynam Jr., 23, former Navy man Stephen T. Parshall, 35, and former Air Force man William L. Loomis, 40, were being held on $1 million bond each on terrorism-related charges.

I’ve been thinking that the US is in a May 1968 moment, but that’s probably too optimistic. A reader who is a prominent Washingtonian (he identified himself, and I verified it; I’m not using his name to protect him) wrote this morning to say that he and a number of people he know are leaving the city for good in the wake of this past week’s violence. He writes, and I quote with his permission:

Mayor Bill de Blasio on Monday commented on his daughter’s arrest during a Manhattan protest over the police-involved killing of George Floyd, saying that it was a “surprise” to him, but that he’s “proud” of her.

NEW YORK — A fourth day of protests against police brutality kept New York City on edge Sunday, as thousands of people marched and many protesters and officers tried to keep the peace after days of unrest that left police cars burned and hundreds of people under arrest. Demonstrators paraded through multiple neighborhoods, chanting, kneeling in the street, and falling silent for a minute in front of the neon-adorned NYPD station in Times Square in honor of people killed by police.

Will George W. Bush endorse Joe Biden?
Congressional Republicans can’t even stand up to rebuke President Trump for falsely accusing a cable news host of murder — despite pleas to stop from the family of the woman, who died of natural causes back in 2001.
But imagine if former President Bush, as Trump’s most recent Republican predecessor, backed a Democrat. Bush’s voice has the singular power to reach moderate Republicans and Republican-leaning independent voters, freeing them to walk away from the Party of Trump.

Like most of America’s broken corporations and institutions, the National Football League has completely bent the knee to the radical Black Lives Matter lobby, thus potentially guaranteeing its own demise as fed-up former fans flee in search of sanity.After years of pushing back against disgraced former NFL star Colin Kaepernick’s widely disliked national anthem protests, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell issued an apologetic video statement Friday reversing course on everything.Listen: (Video) “It has been a difficult time for our country, in particular black people in our country. First my condolences to families
Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) on Thursday praised former Defense Secretary James Mattis, who, on Wednesday, offered a blistering critique of President Trump as a divisive leader. "Gen. Mattis’s letter was stunning and powerful. Gen. Mattis is a man of extraordinary sacrifice. He's an American patriot. He's an individual whose judgment I respect, and I think the world of him," Romney told reporters. "If I ever had to choose somebody to be in a foxhole with, it would be with a Gen. Mattis. What a wonderful, wonderful man," Romney added. Corrections*
The Minneapolis mayor is asking for federal help cleaning up and rebuilding his city after rioters caused at least $55 million worth of damage through looting, burning, and defacing public and private property.
That cost estimate is likely to increase in the coming days as government officials continue to tally the damage done in the wake of George Floyd’s death, Mayor Jacob Frey said according to the Minneapolis Star Tribune. Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and the state’s congressional delegation are also pushing the Trump administration and Congress for funding.
On Tuesday, city officials released an initial estimate of $55 million in damage done to at least 220 buildings.
California’s Legislature now has a pandemic-battered budget plan: Pray, wait and hope for the best. More seriously, Democratic leaders want to postpone the pain carried in Gov. Gavin Newsom’s proposed spending cuts to meet a looming $54.3 billion shortfall.
Both the governor and his counterparts in the Legislature know the depth of the problem: a crashing economy, rising jobless and health bills, and no end in sight for the coronavirus threat. Both are leaning on the thin wish that more federal stimulus money will ride to the rescue though that brewing bailout is stalled in Washington. Thank the Republicans in the Senate for refusing

Amidst winds of change as America confronts its race issue, a reparations resolution dismissed by many as the stuff of dreams, was unanimously passed by a City Council committee Friday and is scheduled to go before the full council June 17. The resolution would establish a “Chicago Citizens of African Descent Reparations Commission” to investigate how one of the most segregated cities in the nation could best make amends for the impact of slavery. Up for discussion by the Committee on Human Relations Thursday, black and Latino aldermen called the resolution timely and necessary, in the aftermath of the cellphone-recorded
The NFL has been moving further and further toward the political left for several years. Many NFL players and teams openly castigate their fans and denigrate anyone who doesn’t conform to their political correctness. Overall, the NFL has become a toxic stew of identity politics and divisive intollerance.
However, the Denver Broncos are taking division up a notch today by declaring if their fans do not stand with their brand of virtue signaling politics, then you stand against them.
How will Joe Bide be able to handle presidential debates? Or campaigning beyond his basement?
I almost hate to point this out because I do have compassion for anyone facing the mental challenges of aging. (snip) Keep Joe Biden feeding the geese at his lavish estate in Delaware and I will gush with sympathy (snip) despite repeatedly looking down to his notes, he repeats the same basic point three times within 45 seconds (snip) The clip below is even worse. He drifts off into utter incoherence, a classic word salad.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) suffered a ten-second mental lapse during a Thursday press conference.
She had been reading from a letter she’d sent to President Trump expressing her alarm that “here in our nation’s capital, the thousands who have turned out peacefully have been confronted with the deployment of various security officers from multiple jurisdictions, including unidentified federal law enforcement personnel.”
Pelosi says, “Well, I preface it by saying, as you probably saw, there are military on the steps of Linc–of Lincoln Memorial.”
Then, “du…le…uh…bu…a…the…uh…what is it? I-I’ll read it to you.” She returns to the letter and begins to read. “Soldiers on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.”

In new guidance shared on Friday, the Marine Corps said the Confederate battle flag’s depiction via such things as bumper stickers, clothing, mugs, posters, and the flag itself are not allowed in public or work spaces. “The Confederate battle flag has all too often been co-opted by violent extremist groups whose divisive beliefs have no place in our Corps,” the Marine Corps said in a statement shared on Twitter. “Our history as a nation, and events like the violence in Charlottesville
Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) on Friday, an outspoken progressive politician who has publicly demanded President Trump’s removal from office, wondered if anyone in Trump’s cabinet would invoke the 25th amendment “before this would-be dictator takes us all down.”Waters, as demonstrators across the country began to take to the streets for Friday night protests, proclaimed that Trump is “amassing the power of a dictator” and asked if any “brave” figure within his cabinet “would move to initiate the 25th amendment to remove him from office.”“Now is the time to save our country
