The chair of the Minneapolis Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party is defending a recent op-ed in which he argued that rioters' burning of the Minneapolis Police Department's Third Precinct headquarters last year was an "act of pure righteousness" in their minds and a "genuine revolutionary moment."
In an Aug. 2 opinion piece for Southside Pride, a local monthly newspaper, titled The cops started it, Minneapolis DFL Chair Devin Hogan argued that the burning of the Third Precinct on May 28, 2020, three days after George Floyd’s death in the same city, was a "proportional response" to the treatment of Black people by police.

Earlier this year, Sweden’s top health official, Johan Carlson, felt obligated to tell the world how wrong everyone else was. “Some believed that it was possible to eliminate disease transmission by shutting down society,” he said. “We did not believe that and we have been proven right.”
Is he right? The three-day moving average for COVID deaths in Sweden is frequently zero these days and hasn’t been in double digits since May. Sweden has seen a lower mortality rate than most of Europe in 2020. That wasn’t the prediction. Sweden never mandated masks, nor did its citizens adopt masking in any significant way.

A San Francisco, California, union representing local sheriffs' deputies is warning that officers will quit or retire if they are forced to receive the coronavirus vaccine.
"The problem we are faced with now is the strict San Francisco Mandate which is vaccinate or be terminated," the San Francisco Deputy Sheriffs’ Association (SFSO) wrote in a Facebook post Friday. "If deputy sheriffs are forced to vaccinate a percentage of them will retire early or seek employment elsewhere." The post stated the majority of officers are vaccinated, but that the union believes that continuing to wear face masks should be sufficient for those who are not.

Well, isn’t this interesting.
Recall Roe v. Wade? The famous abortion decision from the U.S. Supreme Court that was issued in January of 1973? It said this:
This right of privacy, whether it be founded in the Fourteenth Amendment‘s concept of personal liberty and restrictions upon state action, as we feel it is, or … in the Ninth Amendment‘s reservation of rights to the people, is broad enough to encompass a woman’s decision whether or not to terminate her pregnancy.” — Roe, 410 U.S. at 153
In the vernacular, this quickly was reduced to a pro-Roe movement that self-identified as “pro-choice.”

A photo out of San Francisco shows a woman leaning out of a moving car while holding an AK-47.
"During an illegal exhibition of speed event at Barneveld & McKinnon, a passenger leaned out of a Cadi holding an AK47; see photo. SFPD Traffic Company personnel worked up a case, and seized this particular vehicle today," the San Francisco Police Department wrote on Twitter, accompanied by photos.
The Cadillac was found by authorities and towed on Wednesday. The San Francisco Police Department did not immediately return Fox News’s request for comment on the matter.
The incident comes after police reported an uptick in shootings and assaults in the city

The sailor accused of setting fire to a naval amphibious assault ship that burned for five days and injured 71 people voiced hatred of the Navy and attempted to become a Navy SEAL, according to a search warrant affidavit.
Investigators with the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) believe Ryan Sawyer Mays, 20, set the blaze on July 12, 2020 that destroyed the USS Bonhomme Richard while docked in San Diego, an NCIS special agent wrote in the September filing. The fire raged for several days and forced the Navy to scrap the ship, as it would have cost up to $3 billion to make repairs

A community in Atlanta has decided to separate from the city and create its own police force. Bill White, the Buckhead City Committee CEO, said the decision comes as crime in Atlanta has skyrocketed and police are not being properly funded.
White told Bill Hemmer on "America's Newsroom" that he estimates nearly 80 percent of his community will vote in favor of the separation.
"We have two bills in the Georgia legislature dropping in January to decide this referendum ballot," White said. "We filed our divorce papers at the city of Atlanta, and our divorce is final."
White said Atlanta Mayor Keisha Bottoms’ policies have emboldened criminals

Being unblessed by fatherhood (thus far), I have little idea of what boys today are watching on TV, the few not playing video games anyway. But in perusing the 2021 primetime network schedule, I found nothing I would want to watch were I under sixteen. The only constant I could see is the dearth of male heroes, which suggests two possibilities. Hollywoke television executives either have no interest in having young males view their product, or they wish to “detoxify” those who do. Perhaps both conclusions are correct, and equally damning of our time.

A recent front-page headline in my local paper read as follows: "County bordering on high virus transmission rate." A doctor with a large regional health system was concerned that the COVID-19 transmission rate had increased by 37% in one week and stated, "A transmission rate above 5% from the prior week is very scary."
It seems useful to provide some context regarding numbers such as these, considering all the numbers being thrown around regarding COVID-19, the apparent push to create a panic over the delta variant of COVID-19, the obvious push for everyone to get vaccinated

Many Americans are ignoring the Olympics this year based on the wokester politics of certain loudmouth Olympic athletes, some just itching to turn their podium moments into anti-U.S. protests. It's disgusting, given that they've chosen to compete under the U.S. flag. It not only comes off as the height of ingratitude, but indicates contempt for the American people as a whole, who love their flag and country. Who needs that crap? Many just say no, and not just "no," but "hell no," and watch the Olympics to cheer the other team, a new phenomenon, which has been evident in all the delight

American cities are reeling from increased crime ranging from burglary and arson to murder. Americans, rightly, are concerned -- except for Democrat officials. San Francisco, a bastion of progressive stupidity, is among the hardest-hit cities -- yet the San Francisco lunatics who run the city claim anyone concerned with rising crime is a white supremacist. This is common among the Democrat intelligentsia and leadership.
To understand why Democrats don’t care about crime, we must turn to two prophets of the new anti-American ideology. Antonio Gramsci and Michel Foucault are essential to understand to enter the deluded mind of the modern progressive and why they are happy

There is something we are not being told that would explain the elites' extreme push to ensure that we all — regardless of age, health, or vulnerability — get vaccinated against the coronavirus, a virus that has an overall survivability rate of 99.8 percent globally (higher for young people), on a par with the seasonal flu. There has to be. Governments and media have never before reacted in this manner, even for flus, diseases, plagues, and pandemics that were more lethal than COVID-19. I'm not a conspiracy theorist. In fact, not so long ago, I mocked those who were.
Comments:
"Socialist" (it actually isn't) Sweden did NOT shut down, did NOT use masks, and did better than most countries in dealing with this from a death and injury rate. Economically, they blew everyone away, and from a mental health standpoint, they harmed few or none of their citizens.
Only large corporation stores and totalitarian bureaucrats benefited from the Dr. Fraud evil approach. Small businesses were destroyed all over the country.
