Left-wing militants have reportedly turned a memorial site for George Floyd in Minneapolis into a “volatile” autonomous zone—where police and even other protesters aren’t welcome. The memorial, called George Floyd Square, popped up in the days after the 46-year-old’s police-involved death on May 25—the catalyst for a global movement against police brutality and racial inequality. But since then, a militant-style group has taken over the blocks-long site, creating a hostile situation for authorities and protesters alike, NewsNation Now reported.(Snip) Griffin said her nephew, Imez Wright, was gunned down within the zone over the weekend

A white Georgetown Law professor belittled black students during a Zoom call with a colleague, saying they “usually” perform “just plain at the bottom” of her classes, according to video posted online this week. The brief clip, posted to Twitter Wednesday, shows an adjunct professor of law identified by the Georgetown Black Law Students Association as Sandra Sellers and another faculty member, David Batson, having what they believed was a private discussion about a class they jointly taught. “I end up having this angst every semester that a lot of my lower ones are blacks,” Sellers said. “Happens almost every semester.

Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) told Breitbart News on Wednesday that Democrat representatives, not Republicans, are being provided Secret Service protection per House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) directives. The federal government built concrete barriers alongside fencing with razor wire surrounding the Capitol following violent riots on January 6, ostensibly to protect against a threat of “domestic terrorism” from conservative supporters of former President Donald Trump. Tuberville contrasted Washington, DC’s, reaction to unrest on January 6 with dozens of violent and destructive leftist-driven riots in large American cities in 2020. “In the last year, we had 230 riots,” Tuberville said.

Washington and Beijing are in talks about the first senior level meeting between the two superpowers since Joe Biden came to office.
A senior US administration official said the meeting will take place in the 'near term' but will not involve the countries' presidents.
Current discussions center around a meeting in Alaska between Secretary of State Antony Blinken and China's top diplomat Yang Jiechi. National security adviser Jake Sullivan and Chinese foreign minister Yang Wi could also take part in the talks.
Any such meeting would be the first such contact since President Joe Biden took office in January.

The banjo player from folk rock group Mumford & Sons announced today he is 'taking time away from the band' to 'examine my blindspots' after a Twitter pile-on for praising a controversial right-wing writer. Winston Marshall, the son of Brexit-supporting millionaire Sir Paul Marshall, was attacked on social media after tweeting support for US journalist Andy Ngo over the weekend, calling him a 'brave man' and hailing his 'important' book Unmasked: Inside Antifa's Radical Plan To Destroy Democracy.(Snip)
A source claimed that Marshall's staunchly right-wing views had been causing 'tension' in the band for some time, and that the decision was made

HBO is reportedly “very disappointed” upon learning of a “Lovecraft Country” actress who’s going viral for revealing that the production darkened her skin on set for a role. “This should not have happened, and we are taking steps to ensure this doesn’t occur again in the future,” the network admitted in a statement the Hollywood Reporter obtained regarding the shady incident. In a TikTok video posted last month, actress Kelli Amirah accused the 2021 Golden Globe-nominated horror drama’s makeup crew of casting a dark shadow on her appearance, so she could portray a younger version of a character in a wedding picture.

New York—New York City announced relief for taxi medallion owners and drivers to restructure medallion debt and offer payment support. A $65 million relief fund was created through the federal stimulus to financially support distressed owner-drivers.(Snip) “Many medallion owners are struggling and have asked for assistance from the city,” said Aloysee Heredia Jarmoszuk, commissioner of the Taxi and Limousine Commission.
Up to $20,000 loans will be offered up front to restructure medallion debt and an additional $9,000 will be offered in debt payment support. Owners can pay this money back over time at 0% interest based on their individual ability, according to Jarmoszuk.

New billboard messages demanding Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s impeachment appeared in Albany on Tuesday—with one mocking the nipple rings that appeared to jut out under his official state shirt last year. “6 strikes → CUOMO’S OUT — Free the Nipple, Fire the Boob,” one digital slogan says in hot pink and white letters against a black background, according to a mock-up posted on Twitter. Another says, “I AM ONE MORE WOMAN — Impeach CUOMO,” while a third features an image of a bald eagle and the words “MAKE PUBLIC THE CUOMO ADMINISTRATION FBI INVESTIGATION!” The poke at Cuomo’s nipples—amid spiraling accusations of sexual misconduct

Aides to President Biden hurried the traveling press corps away as they shouted questions at an unresponsive commander-in-chief in Washington Tuesday—his 48th day in office without holding a solo press conference.
The incident occurred toward the end of a visit by Biden to W.S. Jenks & Son, a hardware store in the nation’s capital that benefited from his temporary extension for smaller businesses of the Paycheck Protection Program. After quietly watching Biden interact with store owners and employees for about 10 minutes, reporters began shouting a series of questions at him to no avail. Immediately after, handlers for the 46th president began yelling

The Chicago Public Library is temporarily removing six Dr. Seuss books from circulation after Dr. Seuss Enterprises announced it would cease to publish the books due to racist and insensitive imagery. ”It is important to recognize that what society understands to be relevant and/or common knowledge changes over time, and so too does the Library and the needs of the communities it serves,” Patrick Molloy, a spokesperson with the library, said in a statement. “Library staff encourage patrons of all ages to engage critically with our materials, but materials that become dated or that foster inaccurate, culturally harmful stereotypes are removed

Apologizing for your very existence isn’t just for straight White guys anymore. A coffee mug emblazoned with an apology for the dreaded trio of being straight, White and male now retails on Amazon for $12.95 with the sales pitch that it “makes a perfect gift for everyone.” Once associated with Hollywood virtue signalers or those whose racist behavior was exposed by social media or video, apologizing for a White birthday suit has become more mainstream.(Snip) In Amherst, Massachusetts, the Town Council issued a letter of apology and recommended its members for anti-racism training after a White female councilor attempted to participate
Comments:
No one should apologize for being born any particular race, although the Marxists have made it a crime to be White, as they do. Given this, it should be socially compulsory for the finger-pointers to be divested of their assets and to change their names so as to renounce any and all celebrity privilege they feel is improperly gained. Let the Clintons, the Obamas, the Markles, the Baldwins, and many other scolds lead the way.
