hours after it was painted in Vermont

A Black Lives Matter mural outside Vermont’s statehouse was vandalized just hours after being painted, police said. The mural, painted Saturday in Montpelier by more than a hundred volunteers, was smeared early Sunday with several gallons of dirt and oil, leaving one of its 25-foot, yellow letters on State Street defaced, Montpelier police said. A “considerable amount” of graffiti was also found on a sidewalk nearby but referenced “government spending” and did not appear to be connected to the mural, Police Chief Anthony Facos told The Post on Monday. “$400 million gone,” one spray-painted sidewalk message read.

Burien, Wash.—Almost all of the city of Burien's Pride flags were stolen from downtown this week and the police are now investigating the incident.
Burien city leaders discovered that 38 of the 40 Pride flags installed downtown had been removed and stolen, according to a city press release. The flags were put up by Discover Burien in support of Pride Month, which is recognized in June as a way to celebrate members of the LGBTQ+ community and commemorate the Stonewall riots that occurred on June 28, 1969.
"The city of Burien is an inclusive and welcoming city and we want to strongly declare
Raleigh, N.C.—Crews in North Carolina removed the largest remnants of a 75-foot-tall (23-meter-tall) Confederate monument that sat near the grounds of the state Capitol for 125 years. The granite pillar that had supported a statue of a Confederate soldier was pulled from its base in Raleigh to cheers from a crowd of onlookers late Tuesday night, news outlets reported.(Snip) On Friday, protesters pulled down the statues of two Confederate soldiers that were secured on a lower part of the obelisk, before dragging the figures down the street and stringing one up by its neck from a light post.
Madison, Wis.—Gov. Tony Evers said Wednesday he was prepared to activate the National Guard to protect state properties after protesters outside the Wisconsin Capitol tore down statues commemorating an abolitionist and women's rights and threw a Molotov cocktail into a government building during a night of violence that also included an attack on a state senator.
The violence broke out Tuesday night as a group of 200 to 300 people protested the arrest of a Black man who shouted at restaurant customers through a megaphone while carrying a baseball bat. Officers inside the Capitol used pepper spray to repel protesters who were trying
A Seattle woman has been filmed screaming on the ground and claiming she has a black husband after a black man accused her of using the n-word and flipping him off during a road rage incident. The woman, who only identified herself as Leah, ended up in hysterics on the floor in front of her garage in Seattle after being confronted by Karlos Dillard on Monday. Dillard claimed in the now viral video posted on his Instagram that she had cut him off, brake-checked him and called him the n-word. His footage shows the moment he confronts the woman, who he brands 'Karen',
Mayor Bill de Blasio is planning to install a massive Black Lives Matter mural right outside Trump Tower in Manhattan, The Post has learned. Plans for the mural—which will be painted in yellow block letters along Fifth Avenue between 56th and 57th streets—come as the city grapples with troubling surges in gun violence and illegal firework activity. “Obviously he is doing it to antagonize the president,” a source said. “This is what he is concerned about while the city burns. What an amateur politician.”(Snip) The installation is one of seven that will pop up across all five boroughs.
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo called the attacks on monuments “healthy expression” and “good statements.” In an appearance Tuesday on NBC, he denied President Trump’s admonition that, in the words of interviewer Savannah Guthrie, “cities should do more to protect monuments.” Instead, Mr. Cuomo characterized the attacks—which have targeted monuments to Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses S. Grant, Theodore Roosevelt and World War II veterans among others—as anti-racist statements. “People are making a statement about equality, about community, to be against racism, against slavery, I think those are good statements,” the Democratic governor said. While he acknowledged that “of course you can” overdo such statements,

Angry Brits want a royal order founded in 1818 under King George III redesigned because the image of St. Michael crushing the head of Satan reminds them of a Minneapolis police officer kneeling on George Floyd.
A Change.org petition has garnered over 4,000 signatures demanding an alteration to The Order of St. Michael and St. George awarded to diplomats and senior Foreign Office officials serving abroad.(Snip) “This is a highly offensive image, it is also reminiscent of the recent murder of George Floyd by the white policeman in the same manner presented here in this medal,” added Tracy Reeve,
Seattle police are investigating a third shooting in the Capitol Hill neighborhood near the city's 'autonomous zone,' a day after the mayor vowed to dismantle the encampment set up by anti-racism protesters. Police tweeted the shooting took place on the edge of the Capitol Hill Organized Protest (CHOP), or Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone, where demonstrators set up a police-free zone in the wake of George Floyd's death in Minneapolis police custody. A man was taken to Harborview Medical Center at 5am on Tuesday after being shot near Cal Anderson Park and was in satisfactory condition, hospital spokeswoman Susan Gregg said.
All three men who were stabbed to death in a park near London last week were members of the LGBTQ community, The Guardian reported. On Saturday afternoon, friends David Wails, James Furlong and Joe Ritchie-Bennett, a Philadelphia native, were relaxing at a park in the south England town of Reading after attending a Black Lives Matter protest nearby. According to a statement released by the Thames Valley Police department, officers were called to Forbury Gardens around 7 p.m. after they were informed that a number of people had been stabbed.(Snip) A suspect, who was later identified as 25-year-old Khairi Saadallah,
China is conducting clandestine biological weapons-related research and has failed to disclose past offensive germ weapons work, according to a State Department report made public Tuesday. Beijing also is hiding nuclear-related test data by blocking sensors from an international monitoring system used to detect underground nuclear blasts, the annual arms control compliance report contended. The unclassified report provides new details regarding U.S. concerns “for many years” related to Beijing’s biological weapons research that is not permitted under the 1972 Biological Weapons Convention signed by 183 nations, including China and the United States. The Biological Weapons Convention bans the development, testing and use
NASCAR said Tuesday the “noose” found in the Talladega Superspeedway garage stall of Bubba Wallace, was a garage door pull rope and had been there since the fall, according to an FBI report. Wallace was not the target of a hate crime, an FBI report indicated. The rope fashioned like a noose was there before the team’s arrival, the FBI report said. The investigation included photographic evidence from last fall. “We appreciate the FBI’s quick and thorough investigation and are thankful to learn that this was not an intentional, racist act against Bubba,” NASCAR said in a statement. “We remain steadfast in our commitment
Lincoln County, Oregon, has exempted non-white people from a new order requiring that face coverings be worn in public—to prevent racial profiling.
Health officials announced last week residents must wear face coverings in public settings where they may come within six feet of another individual who is not from the same household. But people of color do not have to follow the new rule if they have “heightened concerns about racial profiling and harassment” over wearing the masks, officials said.(Snip) With mask requirements becoming more common, activists have raised concerns that the directives could put non-white people in danger.

NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace says he’s “pissed” members of the public are now questioning his integrity after the FBI said a noose found in his garage stall this week was there before his team moved in.
“I’m mad because people are trying to test my character and the person that I am and my integrity,” he told CNN’s Don Lemon Tuesday night. NASCAR said it launched an investigation after a crew member discovered the noose Sunday afternoon at the Talladega Superspeedway.(snip) Talking to Lemon, Wallace said the image he saw of “what was hanging in my garage is not a garage pull.”

Throughout the late evening and overnight hours we have been able to assemble definitive proof the NASCAR story of a noose hanging in the garage of drive Bubba Wallace is a hoax. [Background Here]
When the race team of Bubba Wallace arrived at Talladega Speedway in Alabama, he was assigned to garage stall #4. After reviewing prior video of that specific garage bay, at that specific speedway; and after reviewing a picture released yesterday showing the FBI investigators on the scene; it is clear the “rope noose” in question was nothing more than a manual garage door pull-down with a hand loop tied into it.
Seattle will move to end the police-free zone known as the "Capitol Hill Organized Protest," or "CHOP," after two recent shootings, one of which was deadly, Mayor Jenny Durkan announced Monday -- signaling that a stunning chapter in the city's history could be drawing to a close.
The mayor said the violence was distracting from changes sought by thousands of peaceful protesters seeking to address racial inequity and police brutality. Activists set up "CHOP" in the city's Capitol Hill neighborhood about two weeks ago, barricading off the area after police evacuated a ransacked precinct building there.
The New York City Department of Education has launched an investigation into a troubling Facebook post penned by an employee of a Staten Island high school. Deborah Morse-Cunningham, who serves as the assistant principal of New Dorp High School, is still at work despite sharing a lengthy status update in which she pondered the nature of privilege by referring to a number of racial stereotypes. 'What is privilege?' Morse-Cunningham asked in the post, which has now been deleted.(Snip) 'Privilege is living in public subsidized housing where you don't have a water bill, where rising property taxes and rents and energy costs have

Director Spike Lee said NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell should pressure Redskins owner Dan Snyder to change the team’s nickname and logo. Lee’s comments echo a renewed call for Washington to change the name in light of the nationwide protests of racial injustice. Lee made his remarks on the same day as city officials removed the statue of Redskins founding owner and segregationist George Preston Marshall on Friday. In an interview with SiriusXM, Lee referenced the removal of Confederate leader statues as a reason the Redskins should act on changing their name. “(Goodell) should approach (Snyder) and say if the Confederate stars and bars

Before NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace appeared on CNN with Don Lémon to discuss his now disproven racial “noose” targeting, he had a decision to make. Wallace could accept the FBI/NASCAR finding and admit an honest mistake was made by an overly sensitive Richard Petty racing team; or he could make racism his new identity in NASCAR as Colin Kaepernick did with football in the NFL. Bubba Wallace chose the latter.
As a result of Wallace’s new identity, and his announced career goals, NASCAR will now fragment in the same way as the National Football League. Social justice will now define Mr. Wallace professional effort; driving with NASCAR becomes a
The Federal Bureau of Investigation and U.S. Attorney’s Office reported on Tuesday that no federal hate crimes were committed with the noose found in the garage stall housing the Richard Petty Motorsports No. 43 entry for Bubba Wallace on Sunday at Talladega Superspeedway.
In a statement attributed to U.S. Attorney Jay E. Town and FBI Special Agent in Charge Johnnie Sharp, the office stated:
"On Monday, fifteen FBI special agents conducted numerous interviews regarding the situation at Talladega Superspeedway. After a thorough review of the facts and evidence surrounding this event, we have concluded that no federal crime was committed."
Why Trump Isn't Taking Action in Seattle
37 replies
It’s certainly frustrating to watch a pack of reeking leftist (Snip) declare a portion of an American city an “autonomous zone” – what is it with Democrats and their secession fetish? – but do not get frustrated because Donald Trump has not sent the 101st Airborne in to powerwash the human grunge from Seattle’s feces-bedecked streets. That’s what the Democrats want. And Trump--a better strategic thinker than all the media geniuses, hack politicians, and Afghan War-losing generals who cry about him--is not only not going to give them the victory they crave. He’s going to jam their cheesy plan down their throats.
An upcoming movie titled 'Cracka' plans to depict an alternate history in which black people enslaved whites in early America. Director Dale Resteghini released the trailer for the independently funded film on Friday, saying it would be available for purchase on Amazon Prime and elsewhere later this year. The trailer shows a white man with neo-Nazi tattoos being transported back in time to a version of America in which he is enslaved by black people. Title cards read: 'You took our breath away, what if we took yours? You raped our daughters, what if we raped yours? You stole our freedom, now we steal yours.'

Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) warned Wednesday that some out-of-state travelers to New York might be pulled over by police if they have license plates from states with high levels of the coronavirus. Cuomo said that in addition to law enforcement, he would expect individuals such as hotel clerks and businesses in New York to question travelers from select states.“You’re stopped by a police officer who says, ‘You’re driving a car from Florida. Weren’t you supposed to be on quarantine for 14 days?’” he said, citing an example.Travelers from Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, Washington, Utah, and Texas would be ordered to put themselves

Some graffiti is more equal than others as the Marxists push for a race war. Old monuments to people guilty of being white? Tear them down! Giant street "tagging" visible from outer space and bearing a message of BLACK supremacy? A lovely mural designed to being us all together.
