Mad Max was a movie franchise set in post-apocalyptic Australia. The survivors, in the outback, were terrorized by a psychotic, violent bunch of motorcycle gangs. The protagonist, a cop named Max, and his loosely formed force of police, called the Bronze, tried to stop them. In the process, Max’s partner was burned alive and his wife and child murdered. It is not a pleasant place or time to be alive.Are we there yet? Finally, police chiefs and calmer heads are attempting a discussion on race relations that doesn’t instantaneously elicit cries of “racism.” Almost unanimously, the reactions the reactions to the police involved

lhan Omar said Sunday that American communities will still be 'safe' even without law enforcement and the dismantlement of police departments, claiming that they would be replaced with something else – but she did not specify what that would be.'I think that's really where the conversation is going wrong, because no one is saying that the community is not going to be kept safe,' Omar told CNN's Jake Tapper on Sunday morning. The progressive Minnesota representative asserted that crimes would still be investigated and there would still be a 'proper response when community members are in danger.''What we are saying is, the current infrastructure that exists
CHAZ has 99 problems, and all of them involve fighting. First, some of the left-wing activists who inhabit the so-called Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (CHAZ) in Seattle are reportedly trying to rename it the Capitol Hill Occupation Protest (CHOP), and the evidence suggests it’s because they’re embarrassed. The thing about autonomy is it denotes self-reliance. Yet the Chazistanis, as they’ve been mockingly called, displayed zero self-reliance when they called the Seattle Fire Department late Thursday to help them with a dumpster fire. Not too long after the story went viral on social media, videos began emerging of the left-wing activists formerly known as Chazistanis suddenly telling people

Katherine died shortly after the crash and her husband Tyler Dunning, 29, was airlifted to Vanderbilt University Medical Center.
New York– New York’s governor threatened to roll back phased reopening plans Sunday after large crowds gathered outside bars in New York City in violation of coronavirus lockdown guidelines. Andrew Cuomo said his office had received 25,000 complaints of reopening violations by businesses as New Yorkers flocked to streets to enjoy a weekend of late spring sunshine. “Lots of violations of social distancing, parties in the street, restaurants and bars ignoring laws,” he tweeted. “Enforce the law or there will be state action,” Cuomo warned local authorities. New York City, the epicenter of America’s coronavirus outbreak, is in phase one of Cuomo’s four-phase reopening plan.

House Majority Whip James Clyburn said he lives in more fear of police now than during racial segregation in the South.“I didn't grow up in fear of police, even in a segregated environment. We never feared the police. All of a sudden, now I do fear the police. The young blacks fear the police,” the South Carolina Democrat told CNN’s State of the Union on Sunday.“Why? Because we have built-in a system that’s responding, once again, to Brown v. Board of Education and everything that comes with it,” he said in reference to the Supreme Court decision that deemed segregation in schools unconstitutional.

Brandon said protesters are at his gates every night, adding that his “own government” has abandoned the people.“I’m scared,” Brandon said.
Cornell University law professor William Jacobson thought he had grown callous to petitions for his ouster. Activists—including students, faculty, and alumni—have called for his firing on numerous occasions since he launched the popular conservative website Legal Insurrection in 2008, but the campaign against him has taken personal attacks to new levels in the wake of George Floyd's death in police custody."On [the Black Lives Matter] issue, you cannot deviate one iota or they will try to get you kicked out of the school, they will falsely accuse you of being racist, they will do a ‘name and shame' campaign against you," Jacobson told the Washington Free Beacon.
When guest hosting The Last Word on Friday, MSNBC's Ali Velshi declared that given the protests and reaction to the death of George Floyd, Joe Biden has been prophetic in his calls for the country to move past President Trump's racial divisiveness. Similarly, Jonathan Alter was amazed at Biden's "perfect message for 2020."Velshi began by saying that Biden's type of campaign messaging was perhaps not working, "But, in fact, George Floyd and the movement about police brutality and the movement about institutionalized racism that seems to be picking up steam amongst Americans who are not black and not people of color goes right back to where Joe Biden
President Trump is defending his slow, careful descent from a stage ramp following his commencement address at West Point earlier Saturday.Cameras had filmed Trump gingerly walking down the lengthy ramp after his speech, sparking wild speculation online from detractors that he has health issues.
A #Trumpisnotwell tag trended online.“The ramp that I descended after my West Point Commencement speech was very long & steep, had no handrail and, most importantly, was very slippery,” Trump tweeted late Saturday.“The last thing I was going to do is ‘fall’ for the Fake News to have fun with. Final ten feet I ran down to level ground. Momentum!”
The Summer of our Discontent

We are entering the summer of our discontent. The season promises to be a long, hot struggle to maintain the integrity of our founding principles that are increasingly compromised with the best and worst of intentions.The worst intentions are those of the rabble whose objectives we shouldn’t underestimate. They will instigate and inflame chaos and anarchy to achieve what a former president promised: “to fundamentally transform America.”They will opportunistically take advantage of the nation’s weakened status from overreaction by government to COVID-19, compounded by the well-intentioned but ultimately destructive flood of trillions of dollars in “temporary” cash benefits.
A march is taking place on Saturday at the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial in Washington, DC, until 3 p.m. to show support for law enforcement officers across the country.The march takes place after nationwide protests in the wake of the death of George Floyd, a black man who died at the hands of Minneapolis police. Left-wing groups, including Antifa, anarchists, and even some Democrats are calling for police departments to be defunded, and in some cases, eliminated. “On June 13th, let’s show them OUR courage and support!” the website states.

Football players at the University of Texas at Austin have released a lengthy list of demands, urging the university to change the name of buildings on campus — including the stadium — and eliminate “The Eyes of Texas” as the school’s song in the name of inclusivity, claiming the racism that “has historically plagued” the campus.“The recent events across the country regarding racial injustice have brought to light the systemic racism that has always been prevalent in our country as well as the racism that has historically plagued our campus,” Texas Longhorns players said in a statement released on Friday.
A Virginia man who was struck by a falling Confederate statue during a protest flatlined twice on the way to the hospital and was placed in a coma, according to his wife. Chris Green, 45, of Portsmouth, was one of the hundreds of Virginians who descended onto the streets Wednesday to protest police brutality and the death of George Floyd, an African-American man who died while in police custody. Protesters rallied at the Confederate monument in Olde Towne Portsmouth after the City Council earlier that night put off decisions on potentially removing the statue.

Friday on MSNBC, liberal documentary filmmaker Michael Moore begged Democrats not to underestimate that President Donald Trump’s voters are white men in “rage.” Moore said, “Never take Trump for granted. If anybody is sitting at home thinking ‘Oh, man, we’ve got this one in the bag. Whoa, did you hear him today? He said he’s done more for black people than Abraham Lincoln. Whoa! We’re going to win,’ No. No. I’m telling you. I’m warning you, and I’m begging you, please, do not sell this man short.

Amid the chaos and anarchy across blue-city America that exclusively possessed public attention for the last couple of weeks, it was not hard to miss any other bit of news — especially if that news has not appeared or been even briefly mentioned by any major mainstream media outlet. Take for example the news of Hillary Clinton, who lost her appeal in the United States Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit on June 2, where she tried to avoid testifying under oath about her emails and the Benghazi case.
The hearing in the D.C. Circuit came in the case Judicial Watch v. Clinton, a public records case

The Department of Justice has filed what looks to be the first tranche of charges against violent antifa protesters from coast to coast following weeks of rioting in the wake of the killing of George Floyd by police.

An entire SWAT team in Hallandale Beach, Florida resigned on Friday in response to Police Chief Sonia Quinones kneeling with Black Lives Matter protesters. The police chief scheduled a meeting for Monday with the officers who resigned to hear their complaints. In a memo, the SWAT officers said in addition to being under trained and minimally equipped, they were outraged to see the police chief kneeling with political activists. “The team is minimally equipped, under trained and often times restrained by the politicization of our tactics to the extent of placing safety of dogs over the safety of the team members,” the officers wrote.
Black Lives Matter wants white people to know their place — which is in the back of the line. This holds even when whites are fighting to advance black causes.The Seattle branch of Black Lives Matter held a protest march on Friday, but specifically stated that white people must walk in the back like chattel.Keep in mind that BLM comically claims to protest “systemic racism” and fight for racial equality while overtly segregating and marginalizing an entire race.Black Lives Matter Seattle wrote on its website: “Anti-Blackness is a greater threat to our survival. It’s killing us, and we are fighting to survive and thrive.”
One of the first articles I wrote for The Daily Wire was a typically optimistic and cheerful piece titled “The United States Of America No Longer Exists.” It was not met with a warm reception by many readers, who understandably found it to be a tad bleak. Three years later, it brings me no pleasure to say, “I told you so.” My basic thesis in that piece was that our country, though existing still as a legal and geographic entity, cannot be meaningfully described as “united.” We have nothing but the law and the land holding us together anymore.
