'Peacefully protesting'? CNN talker uses infamous phrase as footage of Minnesota violence plays * WorldNetDaily * by Jason Hopkins, Daily Caller News Foundation:
"CNN NewsNight" host Abby Phillip allowed a former Biden administration official to claim riots in Minneapolis were a "peaceful protest" Wednesday night.
The Department of Homeland Security confirmed in a Wednesday night post on X that an agent from United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) shot an illegal immigrant from Venezuela after being ambushed. Former Biden White House aide Daniel Koh claimed that the response in the streets of Minneapolis was "peaceful," despite Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara saying crowds were engaged in "unlawful acts."

She responded, "OK. So you're a biased reporter with a left-wing opinion. … You're a left-wing hack, you're not a reporter. You're posing in this room as a journalist. … You shouldn't even be sitting in that seat."

"This is not Minneapolis. This is not going to end well for you in Florida," he said. "You have a right to go out there and criticize government policy. You can go out there and protest within respected zones, but the idea that you're going to assault one of our troopers is unacceptable, and you are going to face consequences as a result of that."

I've been thinking about the recent Supreme Court case on transgender athletes in women's sports, and what struck me most wasn't the legal arguments—it was how quickly any attempt at clear-headed discussion gets rerouted into claims about "complexity." - Michael Smith
- But the debate about men in women's sports isn't about sexuality or identity.
- It's about bodies.
- It's about physiology, bone density, lung capacity, and the competitive advantages that come from male development.
When people respond to that straightforward biological question by invoking the "complexity of human sexuality," they're not being nuanced—they're changing the subject....

- Where, oh where, are the mythologized “nice,” and “above-average” people of Minnesota, once praised in song and sketch on those long-ago Saturday nights of The Prairie Home Companion?
And many have come from other states, possibly even other nations (or planets), to join the Cluster-B viragos native to the city in the crusade to defend “Joe Biden’s” legion of illegally imported Democratic Party voters....
