Pollak: The Riots Began With Obama's Embrace of Occupy Wall Street
Pollak: The Riots Began With Obama's Embrace of Occupy Wall Street:
The chaos currently running amok on America’s streets began with President Barack Obama’s embrace of the Occupy Wall Street movement in the fall of 2011, shared by then-Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and other Democrats.
Occupy Wall Street was the left’s response to the Tea Party movement, which had carried Republicans back to power in the House in the 2010 midterm elections, abruptly ending what Democrats believed would be 40 years of dominance after Obama’s sweeping victory in 2008.
But whereas the Tea Party was law-abiding and grounded in constitutional principles. Occupy Wall Street proudly violated the law and called for the destruction of the entire economic system.

The system created Trump, he didn't create the system.
Impunity is what allows racists to police us & criminals to govern us. When justice fails and human dignity is infringed upon. The only language they understand is revolt. #ICantBreathe #GeorgeFloyd #Antifa #BlackLivesMatter

In case you don't know this "gentleman"-----George Soros: We’re now in ‘revolutionary moment’ that allows us to achieve the ‘inconceivable’ | News | LifeSite
"(LifeSiteNews) – Left-wing billionaire George Soros has indicated that the coronavirus pandemic paves the way for societal changes previously thought impossible, calling it “the crisis of my lifetime.”
Soros had lived through the Second World War as a youth.
“Even before the pandemic hit, I realized that we were in a revolutionary moment where what would be impossible or even inconceivable in normal times had become not only possible, but probably absolutely necessary,” he said during an interview on May 11.
...In the course of the interview, Soros again talked about his idea of having the EU issue perpetual bonds, which he called Consols...would finance the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as climate change.
...Soros is a prolific financier of left-wing causes throughout the United States and around the world, including abortion, euthanasia, population control, same-sex “marriage,” transgenderism, and more.
His Open Society Foundations spend almost $1 billion annually in 100 different countries, including $150 million per year funding the left-wing American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), the leading abortion company Planned Parenthood, and other liberal groups.
He invested $5.1 million in a super PAC dedicated to funding groups working against Trump’s re-election; and is an aggressive supporter of the European Union who has spent money in hopes of influencing the elections of multiple European nations.
In January, he announced the launch of an international network for educational institutions for the purpose of advancing his interpretation of “democratic values” and combating the rise of “nationalism.”

Top FBI lawyer at center of Flynn scandal, who signed FISA warrants, reportedly ousted from job - TheBlaze
Top FBI lawyer at center of Flynn scandal, who signed FISA warrants, reportedly ousted from job - TheBlaze:
FBI General Counsel Dana Boente, a central figure in the revived Michael Flynn scandal, has reportedly been ousted from his job.
FBI Director Christopher Wray asked for Boente's resignation on Friday. However, the decision to oust Boente came from "high levels" in the Justice Department — not originally from Wray, according to NBC News.
Boente has come under increased scrutiny for his role in the Michael Flynn case following the Justice Department's shock decision to drop prosecutorial action against Flynn, who had pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI.

Not sure it's true but... beautiful! (from the web)
"So some conservative Portland practical joker dressed up in Portland Chic (black helmet, black face mask with red Anarchist logo, black jacket and black skinny jeans with black boots), brought a backpack full of Keep America Great bumper stickers, and waited for rioters to arrive on the outskirts of the hot zones.
Stuck Trump stickers over the rioters’ Bernie and AntiFa stickers and left the rest up to Charles Darwin.
Rioters returned to cars smashed with bats and clubs, tires flat, and the stickers whacked with the same clubs."

Jim Hanson: Trump is right – Antifa has hijacked protests of George Floyd’s death and turned them into riots | Fox News
Jim Hanson: Trump is right – Antifa has hijacked protests of George Floyd’s death and turned them into riots | Fox News:President Trump was right when he placed blame Saturday for the riots tearing apart cities around the country on Antifa and other radical left-wing groups. He should now go one step further and declare Antifa a domestic terrorist organization.
The rioting this past week was ostensibly sparked by the death of George Floyd – a 46-year-old black man who was arrested by Minneapolis police Monday for allegedly trying to use a counterfeit $20 bill to buy cigarettes. There is no question that Floyd’s death was horrific and should never have happened. But in fact, many of the rioters affiliated with Antifa simply and cynically have used Floyd’s tragic death as an excuse to spread mayhem and destruction.

How States Turned Nursing Homes Into ‘Slaughter Houses’ By Forcing Them to Admit Discharged COVID-19 Patients - Foundation for Economic Education
"At an April 23 press conference, Gov. Andrew Cuomo sounded indignant when a reporter asked if anyone had objected to New York’s policy of forcing nursing homes to admit recently discharged COVID-19 patients.
“They don’t have the right to object,” Cuomo answered before the reporter finished his question.
“That is the rule, and that is the regulation, and they have to comply with it.”...

- Why did states order nursing homes to take in COVID-19 infected residents? F.A. Hayek's "fatal conceit" might hold the answer.
“They don’t have the right to object,” Cuomo answered before the reporter finished his question.

What does the graffiti mean?
Around a dozen LAPD vehicles vandalized just behind the line of police and protestors.
The rioters are also shouting, “Fuck 12,” at police:
