AND WHY DOESN’T THE MEDIA HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE?

Why Can’t Big-City Democrats Reform the Police? 
Accusations of police brutality have persisted in our bluest cities for decades. 
But when a cop does do something wrong, it gets blamed on the Republican in the White House.--Posted by

"Most of the apologies and statements of solidarity to BLM just seem so gratuitous, self-serving and disingenuous, if I was BLM, I would be offended and if I was the one offering the "apologies", I would be ashamed.
I need to order some new trail and road running shoes and I usually get them online from Zappos - but I went over to the site and there was this:

President Trump demands Washington leaders take back Seattle area captured by protesters - TheBlaze

President Trump demands Washington leaders take back Seattle area captured by protesters - TheBlaze:

Image result for flickr commons images Mayor Jenny Durkan President Donald Trump called for Washington Gov. Jay Inslee (D) and Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan (D) to regain control over the "Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone," a six-block area of the city taken over by protesters and declared a police-free jurisdiction.
Durkan ordered police to surrender the East Precinct on Monday in an effort to de-escalate conflict between officers and protesters. Protesters then established a barricaded zone around the precinct, with armed individuals reportedly controlling entry and exit.
Assistant Police Chief Deanna Nollette said she has heard anecdotally that businesses within the zone have been asked to pay a fee in order to continue operating.

    Image result for phoney statistics quote
  • In conversation with The Telegraph's Planet Normal podcast, oncologist says medics can too easily put Covid on death certificates
"The Covid-19 death toll may be less than half of what has been recorded because many victims of the pandemic would have died soon anyway, one of Britain's leading medics has said.
Professor Karol Sikora, a senior oncologist who has built a huge Twitter following for his positive takes on the virus crisis, said doctors were sometimes too eager to put Covid-19 on death certificates.
Prof Sikora said the virus would be mentioned on death certificates when there was "any hint" that it could have been the cause, without proof, as well as retrospectively over the phone.
This was in contrast to Germany, where a death can only be recorded as being caused by Covid-19 when the clinical team involved in the end-of-life care certifies that is what they believe happened...

Scott Adams has had a brilliant insight about the demand for reparations - American Thinker

Scott Adams has had a brilliant insight about the demand for reparations - American Thinker
"Scott Adams’ brilliant insight cuts through all this: 
The comparison isn’t between black wealth and white wealth in America. 
Instead, the comparison must be the difference between black’s average net worth in America versus black’s average net worth in Africa.
...Adams imagines a neutral space alien calculating reparations. 
He informs earthlings that black versus white net worth in America isn’t the correct calculation:
“If I’m going to calculate the, let’s say, the theft from the black community, if you were to measure the theft -- let’s say just theft – that this slavery was. In other words, you stole the productive part of their lives, etc., and you used it for yourself. So here’s the number I need: I need how does the average economic situation for the average black person in this country and then, to compare it, I want to compare it to the average life of a black African.:
And you say, “What?”
And the space alien says, “Yeah that’s the comparison. So, you want to compare what would happen to the average black person if they had stayed unmolested in Africa and there had never been a slave trade. Because that’s what you’re comparing to. Because if the people who were brought to America as slaves, and then their descendants, are doing much worse than if they’ve never been brought with slavery, then that’s the amount of reparations. That’s how much they lost is all the money they would have made if they just stay in Africa.
You know what the problem is, right? They would owe money to white people.
Adams is correct. Keith Richburg’s Out Of America: A Black Man Confronts Africa, about his job as the Washington Post’s bureau chief in the 1990s, proves it. 
Richburg's painful realization as he witnessed the daily horrors of life in Africa, whether from Nature’s or man’s cruelty, was how lucky he was that his ancestors were enslaved...

1866 - The 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was passed by the U.S. Congress. It was ratified on July 9, 1868. The amendment was designed to grant citizenship to and protect the civil liberties of recently freed slaves. It did this by prohibiting states from denying or abridging the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States, depriving any person of his life, liberty, or property without due process of law, or denying to any person within their jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

Tucker Carlson: We were lied to about coronavirus and the mass lockdowns. Here's the proof | Fox News

Image result for Bow Down ClipArtTucker Carlson: We were lied to about coronavirus and the mass lockdowns. Here's the proof | Fox News:

Are you getting the picture? Is it adding up to a message? Yes, the message is we were played. We were all played. Corrupt politicians scared us into giving up control over the most basic questions in our lives. At the same time, they gave more power to their obedient followers, like Antifa, while keeping the rest of us trapped at home and censored online.
In other words, they used a public health emergency to subvert democracy and install themselves as monarchs. How were they able to do this? The sad truth is, they did it because we let them do it. We believed them, therefore, we obeyed them.
If there's anything good to come out of this disaster, it's that none of us will ever make that mistake again.

NYPD reportedly facing internal revolt as city leaders fail to defend rank-and-file officers - TheBlaze

NYPD reportedly facing internal revolt as city leaders fail to defend rank-and-file officers - TheBlaze:

Image result for flickr commons images NYPDAs police departments nationwide face increased scrutiny, the New York Police Department, the largest police force in America, is facing a possible internal revolt.
NYPD rank-and-file officers are apparently angry that city leaders have failed to defend them in the wake of the civil unrest that exploded across America in the wake of George Floyd's death. That unrest eventually resulted in numerous NYPD officers being targeted; officers have been shot, stabbed, and even targeted with Molotov cocktails.

The Media Suppresses Anyone Who Thinks Like You
"We keep hearing about how various institutions should “be like America,” which apparently does not include you.
This is especially true of the garbage media.
See the source image...Tom Cotton was invited to write a New York Times op-ed that expressed the sensible position that if local governments could not (or, as seems plausible) would not prevent mass leftist violence, the president should consider the use of active-duty military forces under the Insurrection Act.
Polls said that 58 percent of folks agreed with this position, and it is hardly unprecedented in American history.
I was personally part of the federal Army force that suppressed the Los Angeles riots in 1992.
But the Red Guard Kids who apparently now run the NYT collectively wet themselves in horror and declared a position held by six in 10 Americans completely out of the bounds of acceptable discourse.
...The left is seeking to define the scope of acceptable thought, and they do it by marginalizing the mainstream and mainstreaming the marginal.
They do it by lying both directly and by omission of normal views the leftists disapprove of.
..Look at the “defund the police” idiocy...

You just can't debate or discuss issues with today's left.--- Fans of Best of the Web Today

Fans of Best of the Web Today--Michael Smith 
"You just can't debate or discuss issues with today's left.
You can't present facts because they won't accept them. 
We have transitioned to a time when all that matters is that you admit your guilt.
...There's nothing left but coercion in their playbook - whether that means embarrassing you on social media or getting you de-platformed or fired. 
Like all communist authoritarians, they have even started eating their own, cancelling any of their cadre who is insufficiently loud in cheering for the glorious people's revolution.
...I talked to a 85 year-old friend of the family down in Mississippi today (a retired South Carolina judge) and asked him if he had ever seen anything like these times - he said the 60's were somewhat like them if you look at the activity of the radical elements but he said there was never the kind of corporate, media and political support for those actions. 
...He cast how these leftists are being treated as opposed to how the Bundy's occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, the Weavers at Ruby Ridge and how they burned out the folks at Waco and made the point that if the offenders are religious or right wing, it seems the government is very quick to use the term insurrection..
I agreed with him. I can remember the mid to late 60's and the unrest but then was nothing like now. This isn't just weird, it is pure chaos."
