Lao Tzu Leaves For the Mountains
Pundits are twisting themselves into pretzels as they wrestle with the death of George Floyd and the ensuing demonstrations, riots, murders, looting, and government enabling of said chaos. The self-righteous and sputtering circumlocutions call Looney Toons to mind: “George Floyd shouldn’t have died … but lynching the police officer who kneed Floyd isn’t justice … but we must acknowledge and respect the understandable anger of American blacks … but looting and arson are never right, especially when the businesses and homes belong to blacks … but protestors and rioters must be distinguished from one another … but ….” Absurdity has overtaken and overwhelmed even the cleverest commentators.
The mythical Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu–credited with authoring the Taoist wisdom classic Tao Te Ching–left his city to live alone in the mountains during an analogous period in Chinese history. The takeaway from the legend is clear: wisdom and virtue have no business in a civilization coming unglued. Ideas don’t matter; dialogue isn’t useful or appreciated; and traditions distilled from millennia of life might as well be a third antler on a deer. In the midst of the confusion, many Americans are coming to realize that–particularly in big, progressive-controlled cities–moral and law-abiding citizens no longer have any reason to persist. Politicians have no interest in protecting or encouraging urban middle-class citizens, only dancing a jig to the social justice tune played by underclass minority demagogues and wealthy liberals. Law enforcement’s hands are tied from keeping order, lest even a single racism unfold and provoke Armageddon. Citizens are certainly not allowed to protect themselves, their homes, their communities, or their businesses. That would be vigilantism, and the police are uncharacteristically enthusiastic about squashing anyone who stands up to casual lawlessness and intimidation.
As W.B. Yeats observed more than a century ago, we have entered an era when “the best lack all conviction, while the worst are full of passionate intensity.”
Herein lies the crowning absurdity. The opera of ‘St. George and the Blue Dragon’ unfolding across America’s stage has nothing to do with the unfortunate story of the man George Floyd and everything to do with panic over President Trump’s campaign to lay bare both classical and progressive liberalism’s inherent contradictions and impending collapse. The hastily concocted George Floyd myth is one more pawn advanced up the board to corner the King. Liberals do not apprehend they are committing the age-old fallacy of hating the player instead of the game.
As I write, looting continues and police are being violently attacked. Meanwhile, law enforcement leaders are kneeling with protesters to show their “solidarity”. Winston Churchill’s quip comes to mind: “Each one hopes that if he feeds the crocodile enough it will eat him last.”

Someone Get Jim Acosta Some Burn Ointment
Kayleigh McEnany Sends Jim Acosta to the Burn Ward
The last time Jim Acosta tried his typical “gotcha” question games with Kayleigh McEnany, it didn’t go so well for him. Nevertheless, CNN’s chief White House correspondent was at it again today during the daily press briefing, grilling McEnany with loaded questions about the Lafayette Park incident Monday where the Park Police confirmed that smoke canisters and pepper balls, not tear gas, were used on protesters who were allegedly throwing projectiles including bricks at officers who had told the crowd three different times to disperse as President Trump prepared to walk to burned St. John’s Episcopal church nearby.
If the White House could do it again, @Acosta asks, "would you have gassed and pummeled protesters to clear the park so the president could have a photo-op?"— Philip Wegmann (@PhilipWegmann) June 3, 2020
When Acosta continued to press on, McEnany whacked him by reminding him of the things that happen when police get caught off guard, such as the four officers who were shot in St. Louis during a recent riot, the Las Vegas officer who is now on life support after being shot in the head, and of other violent incidents involving rioters attacking police officers in the aftermath of the death of George Floyd. Officers have the right to protect and defend themselves and secure the perimeter, she again noted, while also pointing out that they protect him and his right to come to the White House press briefing room to ask questions during briefings. If this keeps up, Jim Acosta might want to invest in a few gallons of burn ointment along with a jock cup if he insist on getting kick in the nut regularly, because he’s going to need it.

NYT's Journalist Justifies Looting, Property Damage
Destroying property which can be replaced is not violence. And to put those things -- to use the exact same language to describe those two things, I think really is not moral to do that. We're 13% minority in majority white country. We are descendants of people that were enslaved in this country. So ultimately our protest is only as successful as we can convince white Americans to actually comply with the Constitution and treat black Americans as full citizens.
I think I would not describe looting as violence, looting is property damage, but it is not violence. We need to have to have some perspective on what exactly we’re seeing when we call that violence and looting. When you talk about someone taking something from a big box main store, it's symbolic. One pair of shoes that you've stolen from the Foot Locker is not going to change your life, but it is a symbolic taking....."In her Orwellian newspeak saying violent activities weren't actually violent means burning down someone’s house or business is considered a “peaceful” activity to the NYT journalist.

Progressive Newspaper Editrix Celebrated Protesters - Then the Chickens Come Home to Roost
A news editor for a small, independent leftist rag was in support of the protests-turned-riots, until they broke into the paper's office and had their way and she had to take cover in the basement. Leigh Tauss, an editor for the progressive news outlet Indy Week in North Carolina, was stunned to find that the protesters-turned-rioters did not look favorably upon her business when they swept the area.
She tweeted out on Saturday, saying "the crowd is extremely peaceful and groups and many are wearing masks and trying to keep distance."It was only a few short hours later that Tauss tweeted again about the protests. This time her tone was difference.
Sounding like an rank amateur William Shire reporting of Brownshirt violence from Berlin in 1939.......

"I went into the hallway. I heard someone l enter the office and what sounded like smashing inside. We are a small newspaper with a handful of desktops. I’m now hiding in the basement." — Leigh of House (@LeighTauss) May 31, 2020.And then on Sunday morning, Tauss posted what had become of her office at the hands of the rioters

It’s midnight. The protesters have spread out throughout downtown, evading the cops. Some are going around smashing windows and lighting fires #raleigh pic.twitter.com/PwHtlJw8tM — Leigh of House (@LeighTauss) June 1, 2020
Not sure why, but dozens of officers just charged at the few remaining protesters. Smoke bombs and fireworks go off in the street #Raleigh pic.twitter.com/ur2sp8UaHP — Leigh of House (@LeighTauss) June 1, 2020That last tweet should tell you all you need to know about this leftist bint. And it looks like her little paper is not were *woke* enough for those super-righteous anarchists.

Another Grim Milestone of Yet Another Day of America
Whatever George Floyd did in terms of why he was arrested in the first place and from the look of how he was behaving while being arrested cannot ever justify the taking of his life. I don't buy the official story either that he died at the hospital perhaps from some other cause. He died at the hands of that officer and the others who did not intercede to prevent it.
With that out of the way, we now have the city of Minneapolis in flames, as well as copycat rioting in other cities to "protest" Floyd's killing. In fact, thugs evidently were able to pull off an Assault on Precinct 13 attack on a police station and set it on fire. Even more disturbing is the attack on a woman in a wheelchair by these poor, misunderstood little darlings who were no doubt turning their lives around and reacted in a way that should not be criticized because moral relativism or some such thing. This kind of behavior is as horrendous as that of the police. But I suppose I'll be criticized for being too blindly pro-law enforcement for mentioning it?
Worst of all are the pronouncements from what I consider to be down there with pedophiles, sex-traffickers and drug dealers as the lowest form of humanity: the self-promoting political opportunist. Bipedal turds like Colin Kaepernick, Cookie Milano and Frances Fisher whose contributions to our cultural heritage are less than nil, yet are openly fomenting race wars. To paraphrase a famous bit of First World War propaganda, "white elitist Leftists will fight to the last poor, ignorant black man." Not to pat myself on the back but if that doesn't crystallize the history of Democrat racism and racialism in this country, I don't know what does. It cannot be stated enough that as horrendous and abhorrent as a white policeman killing a subdued black suspect is, this particular kind of incident is rare. The vast majority of violent crimes in America's cities, by orders of magnitude, are committed by blacks against other blacks. In either case, it's the Democrat-Media Complex that makes sure the former is always in the public eye and the latter is covered up. That's because it keeps them in power and has kept them in power, especially on the state and local level, for decades. That's why, all things considered, it is not hyperbole to openly and emphatically label the American Left and Democrat party as evil.
This incident, and virtually every other incident involving white law enforcement and minority perpetrator took place in jurisdictions that are and have been controlled by Democrats. In part or in toto, Democrats comprise the majority of mayors, city councils, DAs, police commissioners and chiefs, aldermen, as well as state legislatures, attorneys general and governors in some instances. They write the laws, they train the officers, they enact the policies. And yet year after year, blacks and other minorities vote for them blindly because they are told that Democrats are the solution to their problems - problems that only get worse and get blamed on the white man, conservatives, Republicans, capitalism, etc. etc. etc.
Again, it's either an amazing coincidence or damned good luck that the tragic and completely unjustified killing of George Floyd by a Minneapolis cop came just as Democrats were running out of excuses to continue the General Tso's Sicken lockdown - - and that the revelations about Barack Obama's direct knowledge of and more than likely participation in the plot to sabotage the 2016 election and then overthrow President Trump with the Russia Collusion hoax/fraud are coming to light. - J.J.

Well, I Think We Know Who WILL NOT Be Biden's VP Choice
 |
| Senator Lady Amy Klobs (D-Minn) |
George Floyd's death in police custody is renewing criticism of Sen. Amy Klobuchar's prosecutorial record. Before she became a senator and a top contender for Joe Biden's vice presidential spot, Klobuchar spent eight years as the Hennepin County attorney, in charge of prosecution for Minneapolis. And while in that position, she declined to prosecute multiple police officers cited for excessive force, including the same officer seen kneeling on Floyd's neck as he protested.
Ex-Minneapolis police officer Derick Chauvin saw at least 10 conduct complaints during his 19-year tenure before he was fired Tuesday, according to a database that documents complaints against police. As The Washington Post noted in March, Klobuchar "declined to bring charges in more than two dozen cases in which people were killed in encounters with police" as Hennepin County attorney. Instead, she "aggressively prosecuted smaller offenses" that "have been criticized for their disproportionate effect on poor and minority communities." And as the Viking Snow Princess undergoes vetting to become a possible VP candidate, that track record is being scrutinized again with a fine tooth comb fork.

Big Tech Billionaires Plotting to Burn Large Piles of Cash
LinkedIn Co-Founder Reid Hoffman, who notoriously backed a group that “spread disinformation during the 2017 Alabama special election for U.S. Senate,” is now being joined by other Big Tech billionaires to set fire to large piles of cash in an attempt to boost the Democrat's nominee for president. According to Vox Recode “sweeping plans” are “poised to make these billionaires some of the country’s most influential people when it comes to shaping the November results.” These billionaires plans include funding divisive partisan news sites.
NB - OpenSecrets revealed that “political operations are pouring millions of ‘dark money’ dollars into ads and digital content masquerading as news coverage to influence the 2020 election.” One of those progressive operations is dubbed Courier Newsroom, which “has faced scrutiny for exploiting the collapse of local journalism to spread 'hyperlocal partisan propaganda'. Courier Newsroom is owned by the leftist nonprofit ACRONYM.
OpenSecrets reported that ACRONYM had “received financial backing from Investing in US, an investment vehicle funded by Silicon Valley donor and billionaire LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman.” Recode said that Hoffman’s “aides have indicated that setting up partisan news sites that masquerade as journalism is one of the priorities of its group of allied donors.” According to Recode, Hoffman has put around $10 million into ACRONYM.
Tech billionaires, “particularly Moskovitz and Powell Jobs,” are unleashing “millions into some of the country’s most ambitious voter-registration programs — almost all of it behind the scenes..." About a dozen voter-registration groups, which included failed Democratic Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams’s leftist group Fair Fight, gathered Powell Jobs’s “Emerson Collective headquarters in mid-March to raise money for their 2020 plans, sources told Recode.”Beware citizen of any and all new News / Website that has or will pop up in near future claiming to be Pro-Trump. There could be outrageous things said in the name of support of DJT.
