Attorney General Bill Barr sat down today with Fox News’ human cabbage patch doll, Bret Baier, to discuss recent racial antagonism, arson, riots and unrest throughout the country, as well as potential new developments in the Jeffery Epstein case.

Within the interview AG Bill Barr does a good job outlining the Trump administration policies and efforts that were already in the works prior to the George Floyd killing.

An argument can be made that the reason Democrats are trying to stir-up racial anxiety is precisely because President Trump is making concrete improvements on issues that have structural benefits to the lives of black Americans.

Perhaps the best visible representative for the fantasy social-justice world that exists between AOC’s ears is the Minneapolis City Council President, Lisa Bender.

With just the right amount of socially significant tattooing to claim credibility for ‘the movement’, Ms. Bender takes a break from life amid sustainable algae cakes and lattes to share the world of her social network’s imaginings.

In this interview snippet Wolf Blitzer asks Ms. Bender who’s going to respond to a violent shooter if there’s no police force?… Ms. Bender admits no-one knows, but through the process of collective “re-imagining”, the Minnesota world of public safety will look quite different. WATCH:

.

Yes, Ms. Bender… Indeed, once you get rid of the police, everything in your world of re-imaginings will look entirely different.  In that regard you are 100% correct.

The problem for Council President Bender is that everyone outside of her loony leftist community knows exactly what will happen.  It doesn’t need to be imagined.

Earlier this afternoon President Donald Trump participated in a roundtable discussion with state, federal, and local law enforcement officials on police and community relations. Joining President Trump was Vice-president Mike Pence, chief of staff Mark Meadows and Attorney General Bill Barr.

Traveling to the White House to participate in the discussion was: Chief Steven Casstevens, President, International Association of Chiefs of Police; Pat Yoes, National President, Fraternal Order of Police; Sheriff Tony Childress, Livingston County, IL; Ashley Moody, Attorney General, FL; Daniel Cameron, Attorney General, KY; and Sergeant Rob Pride, Loveland Police Department, CO.

President Trump affirmed:

“There’s a reason for less crime. It’s because we have great law enforcement. I’m very proud of that. There won’t be defunding. There won’t be dismantling of our police. There’s not going to be any disbanding of our police.”

CTH noted last night that something shifted.

It was clear the Biden/Clyburn plan was quickly adjusted due to something internal; likely polling.

Today, the background issue surfaces; the Biden/Clyburn campaign saying they do not support defunding the police.

“As his criminal justice proposal made clear months ago, Vice President Biden does not believe that police should be defunded,” Biden campaign spokesman Andrew Bates told reporters. (link)

Just as we suspected the insufferable stupidity -and ideology- of the far-left movement has been identified by the DNC as a dangerous political position to retain.  And so the retreat begins…. But, like all modern leftists always do, the Democrats begin the retreat by pretending they never supported the position in the first place.

In order for modern leftists to advance their extreme ideology they have to pretend not to know things.  The pretense allows them to avoid admitting the inherent hypocrisy within every leftist position. It’s a laughable situation and so easy to deconstruct.

In a carefully orchestrated, timed and planned effort to maximize the political strategy of Joe Biden’s campaign director, James Clyburn, the capitol building was used as a stage.

While simultaneously making cultural appropriation great again House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, gave her political stunt crew Kente cloths to wear while bringing New Black Pander Party (NBPP) together for a cringe-worthy political stunt at Emancipation Hall.

The motives of the effort are transparent.  The Democrat party, writ large, has made the calculation they cannot win the 2020 election without racial activism as the driver for votes.  South Carolina representative James Clyburn is directing the Joe Biden campaign on the best utility for black pandering, specifically focusing on the AME church network.

The strategy is not without risk.  Candidate Joe Biden defined the blackness of black people by saying if they did not support him “you ain’t black.”  Obviously the strategy to campaign on this issue was made in the days prior to the South Carolina primary.  What we see now is a continuation of that plan.  However, the pandering is over-the-top; and there are indications of a backlash from within the black community.

Yesterday the new black panderers organized a million Antifa march with the Black Lives Matter crowd in Washington DC.  Unfortunately, they fell approximately 990,000 people short of the million person goal; only about 10,000 marchers present.

The window of exploitation & opportunity is closing even faster than we expected.

Not surprisingly the media hyped the thousands that did attend resulting in a skewed reality that was/is disconnected from the actual result.  In media you would think there was a massive alignment of social interests.  However, if you look at the reception rate for the message, there’s a big disconnect.

Again, as previously noted, the downstream reception rate, the people who receive the message, take action on the message and/or join in the amplification of the message; much like the protest attendance rate, was very small considering the scale of the push.

We can debate what is creating the disconnect, but the chasm is undeniable.  People are just not as organically tuned-in as the media would have you believe they are.  The efforts of the social influencers are not yielding results; and you can see this reality in the way the media is increasingly desperate to keep pushing the messaging.

“Defund The Police” is not working outside the most severe leftist woke groups.

Perhaps people are burned-out with the constant demand for outrage; or perhaps people have caught-on to the manipulation.  I’m not sure what specifically is driving the lack of engagement; but people are just going on with their lives while the constant drumbeat of shouting voices is being blasted at them.  The drumbeat is loud, perhaps one of the loudest ever, but the drumbeat is also astroturf and not organic.  This appears to be part of the reason for the disconnect.

Last week Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey allowed the mob to burn the police precincts in an expression of his alignment with their woke demands.  However, the Minneapolis mob was not satisfied with his permission to riot, loot and torch the city, the mob wants more.

The mob always wants more. You can never be woke enough.

The mob has an unquenchable blood lust for power.

Today the social justice warriors demanded Mayor Frey prove his virtue by promising to eliminate all police officers and allow the woke community to take over the organization of their politically correct civic society.  The Mayor could not make the promise…. So the mob turned on him and forced him to do the walk of shame through the crowd.  WATCH:

.

Mayor Frey’s skinny jeans, antique T-shirt and woke hairstyle could not shield him for the demands of the mob. The crowd shouts “GO HOME JACOB” and then “SHAME, SHAME, SHAME” while giving him the middle-finger salute. Moments later as he walked alone, dejected down the sidewalk, they start throwing bottles of water at him. Jacob has sad.

…She Knows Exactly What She’s Doing!

It seems quite transparent what the agenda is for Washington DC Mayor Muriel Bowser.  After giving the DC police orders to stand down; and after ending the previously declared state of emergency; and after cancelling the flow-through purchase contract where feds repay the city for national guard housing; she is now demanding that all national guard troops and security elements leave the nation’s capital city:

…”It’s our expectation that until soldiers are called home, we don’t think that soldiers should be in the nation’s capital patrolling or policing streets. We’ve made that formal request to the White House.”… (link)

Simultaneous to her demand that all security forces, including the added DC police, be withdrawn operations, the Mayor is helping to organize the introduction of far-left mobs under the pretense of her facilitating weekend mass protests against the White House.

In essence, Mayor Bowser is simultaneously removing DC security and introducing an extremist force.  This is beyond dangerous and appears to be an intentional effort by the mayor to force  and create a violent Kent State type confrontation.  This is Alinsky 101.

Provocation to a specifically designed conflict is why Mayor Bowser had the streets painted earlier today; and why she is pretending not to know what the end goal is for the operation where she is a key player.

A video recap of President Trump’s earlier remarks on the tragic death of George Floyd.

(more…)

Today in Minneapolis was the first of three funerals for George Floyd in three states.  The next funeral will be held in North Carolina on Saturday; then the grievance tour travels to Texas for a full day viewing on Monday, and final funeral on Tuesday.

What media will not discuss is the lack of visible support across social media on the first day of the five official days of public mourning.  Perhaps the BLM and AME network have overplayed their hand; and/or, people are burned-out over the continued use of the race card.  It also did not help that Al Sharpton played the lead role for funeral one.

Now, considering the amount of media coverage, what I just wrote might sound odd; but I’m not looking at media… I’m looking at the national audience response to the overblown media coverage.  There is a big difference and a massive disconnect.

The media are hyping the five days of national mourning and live broadcasting the funerals and events.  However, the downstream reception rate appears very poor.
