"Barack Obama was the star attraction at Joe Biden’s virtual fundraiser yesterday...a separate component of the event for high-dollar donors raised $3.4 million for an overall haul of $11 million for the event.
The latter event was closed to the media.
Trump campaign director of strategic communications Marc Lotter plucked a highlight from Biden’s remarks...
It’s also posted here on YouTube.
In the clip Biden issues a directive: “Stop, stop the cold war future that we’re talking about.
We talk about a cold, a peaceful cold war, what are we talking about?”
Still in possession of his faculties, Obama seems to be wondering what Biden is talking about. https://twitter.com/i/status/1275564393749676038

The sanctification of George Floyd | Theodore Dalrymple | The Critic Magazine
The sanctification of George Floyd | Theodore Dalrymple | The Critic Magazine:- Being killed by a brutal policeman does not change a man’s life from bad to good
Shortly afterwards, however, I realised that the mural was in earnest: the picture of the mural in the newspaper included a man genuflecting before it and the caption said that he was making a ‘pilgrimage’.
...George Floyd was not a saint; in fact, he was a bad man, and being killed by a brutal policeman does not change a man’s life from bad to good.
He was a man of many convictions – criminal convictions, that is, not political ones – and at least one of his crimes was of deep-dyed malignity.
Along with five others, he broke into a pregnant woman’s house and held her at gunpoint while his associates ransacked the house for drugs and money...

Victor Davis Hanson--What Happens When the Madness Ends? - American Greatness
What Happens When the Madness Ends? - American Greatness- Today’s corporate revolutionary enthusiasts had better prepare for the inevitable turn.
But what are the symptoms of what cannot go on and when?
There are two historic red lines and our revolution is getting close to both.
- When Normal People Grow Weary-One is when “average” people, both white and nonwhite, who identify neither with Left nor Right, woke nor unwoke, become frightened or appalled by the violence and the anarchy—and thus finally move to dismantle the guillotine as the razor increasingly starts haircutting friends, idols, and compatriots.
- When Important People Find Themselves Out of Luck-Second, when important people start to suffer the concrete consequences of their own abstract ideology, then the revolution sputters—in the manner that #MeToo Tara Reid got nowhere in accusing Joe Biden of a brutal sexual assault. Suddenly, handsy and heavily breathing Joe who once swore “women must be believed” appealed to statutes of limitations, presumptions of innocence, and the right to cross-examination as if he were Robespierre suddenly deploring the promiscuous use of the guillotine. When hysteria fades, so too the current Antifa/BLM movement will go dormant to go enjoy the millions that they garnered from terrified virtue-signaling corporatists...
- The Thermidor Reaction Is Coming-If a revolution is based on the untruth that blacks are daily violently terrorized by whites, what happens when data reveal facts contrary to that narrative? What happens when people come to understand that in those relatively rare interracial crimes, blacks are far more likely than whites to commit interracial violence? Or when people discover that more than 7,000 blacks are murdered per year by other blacks? When the hysteria fades, such data reasserts the truth that there is not currently a white racial war against blacks.
The Reign of Terror will end and the Thermidor reaction is on the horizon.
Today’s opportunist virtue-signaler will be tomorrow’s gullible fool.
Tonight’s brave looter and edgy arsonist will be tomorrow’s matter-of-fact felon.
This morning’s memo-writing social justice executive and administrator will be seen as tomorrow’s rank abettor of McCarthyite persecutions.
And the coveted and esteemed racial arsonist of the moment soon will become the ostracized segregationist.
Americans believe there is one thing more regrettable than a falsifier—and that is an opportunistic and careerist falsifier."

Very worthy read!-----Why Robespierre Chose Terror | First Totalitarian Revolution
Why Robespierre Chose Terror | First Totalitarian Revolution"...as revolutions go, the French one in 1789 was among the worst.
...Yet what these fine ideals led to was, first, the Terror and mass murder in France, and then Napoleon and his wars, which took hundreds of thousands of lives in Europe and Russia.
After this pointless slaughter came the restoration of the same corrupt regime that the Revolution overthrew.
Aside from immense suffering, the upheaval achieved nothing.
Leading the betrayal of the Revolution’s initial ideals and its transformation into a murderous ideological tyranny was Maximilien Robespierre, a monster who set up a system expressly aimed at killing thousands of innocents.
He knew exactly what he was doing, meant to do it, and believed he was right to do it.
Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Mao, and Pol Pot are of the same mold.
...Understanding his motives and rationale deepens our understanding of the worst horrors of the recent past and those that may lurk in the future.
Historians distinguish three phases of the French Revolution.
The last, the Terror, ran roughly during 1793–94...

Last week's BIG-STORY!--Always searching for "hate'. Never caring about black victims-----Oakland mayor: It doesn't matter if the "nooses" found in our public park turned out to be hand swings
Oakland mayor: It doesn't matter if the "nooses" found in our public park turned out to be hand swings
"...It started a few days ago with a report of nooses found hanging from a tree in a park in Oakland. The city was stunned.
Had some white supremacist chosen to lash out amid the protests over George Floyd’s killing by displaying a notorious symbol of lynchings?
The matter had to be investigated.
It didn’t take long to get to the bottom of it:
...Victor Sengbe told ABC7 News the rope is part of a rigging used by him and his friends as part of a larger swing system…
“Out of the hundreds, thousands of people who walked by, no one even thought it looked anywhere close to a noose,” said Sengbe.
“Folks have used it for exercise, it was really a fun addition to the park that we tried to create.”

“For the past few decades, we’ve been reforming our institutions to make sure they reflect our values, and the police have been engaged in that and we shouldn’t let this incident and the actions of a bad few obscure the fact that the police made a lot of progress,” he said.
“Instances of the shooting of black unarmed males has been dropping,” Barr continued. “It was 38 five years ago, last year it was 10. 10 in the nation, and six of those were involved in attacking the police officer at the time they were shot.”

Oregon county issues face mask order exempting non-white people
Oregon county issues face mask order exempting non-white people"Lincoln County, Oregon, has exempted non-white people from a new order requiring that face coverings be worn in public — to prevent racial profiling.
Health officials announced last week residents must wear face coverings in public settings where they may come within six feet of another individual who is not from the same household.
But people of color do not have to follow the new rule if they have “heightened concerns about racial profiling and harassment” over wearing the masks, officials said.
...“No person shall intimidate or harass people who do not comply,” health officials said.
“For many black people, deciding whether or not to wear a bandanna in public to protect themselves and others from contracting coronavirus is a lose-lose situation that can result in life-threatening consequences either way,” ReNika Moore, director of the ACLU’s Racial Justice Program, told CNN..."

Nolte: Violent Crime Explodes in Democrat-Run Cities:
Over the weekend, a dozen people were either injured or killed by gunfire in Minneapolis. According to PowerLine’s John Hinderaker, “This took place in the heart of Uptown, an entertainment and shopping district, within a few blocks of some of the city’s most expensive neighborhoods.”

Just a couple blocks from the shooting, this act of lawlessness was allowed just a night or two before:
Where are the riots?-----"we were approached by about 20 people who told us we were not allowed on that road because we were white."
Jenny Edwards - I was on channel 2 at 11pm Saturday night with one..."I was on channel 2 at 11pm Saturday night with one of my friends because we were assaulted.
My friend and I were driving in my car on University Ave trying to get on the highway.
When we got to the light we were approached by about 20 people who told us we were not allowed on that road because we were white.
I tried to turn around but by then the whole car was surrounded and I couldn’t turn around safely without hitting someone but couldn’t.
My friend was rolling his window up when he was sucker punched three times in the face.
I rolled the window up when someone else picked up that huge boulder and threw it through one window and hit my arm and then my leg landing where it is in this picture.
Then they threw another boulder through the other window.
A guy in front of my car took a gun out of his waistband and pointed it at me and I just gunned it around him while they were preoccupied with trying to destroy my car.
My friend was on the phone with the police...where we were met around the corner with the police. They called the paramedics because I was bleeding and bleeding badly because I take blood thinners.
They wanted to transport me to Grady but they don’t take my insurance.
I was going to go to Emory tomorrow if I felt worse.
My friend and I were also hit with shards of glass from both windows being smashed.
Basically...be careful and I don’t know what else to say except how ashamed I am to be born and raised in Atlanta right now.
We were told by these people that we were being attacked because we were white...the news didn’t let everyone know how bad this was.
My friend and I almost died today.
This is serious...we need to do something together as humans not as black and white people.
I am open to any and all suggestions.
Feel free to DM me.
I am not ok and emotionally I am a wreck.
Edit: My friend and I were coming from Carver Market to support black owned businesses for lunch and this happened as we tried to get home."
