Ex-NYPD commissioner warns of 'very bleak' future for NYC, says de Blasio 'eviscerated' the force | Fox News

Ex-NYPD commissioner warns of 'very bleak' future for NYC, says de Blasio 'eviscerated' the force | Fox News:

Former New York City Police Commissioner Ray Kelly warned on "Hannity" Tuesday that the Big Apple may return to the bad old days of the 1970s and '80s if the spike in crime and political attacks on law enforcement are not reversed soon.
"New York was the safest big city in America for several decades, a lot of hard work done by a lot of people," Kelly – who served as commissioner under mayors David Dinkins and Michael Bloomberg – told host Sean Hannity. "I lay the problems of New York City solely at the feet of [Mayor] Bill de Blasio. He has eviscerated the police department."
"One of the most important, significant things [de Blasio] did was to eliminate the anti-crime units throughout the city — they are the real crime fighters," said Kelly, referring to the plainclothes units that were disbanded last month.

Facebook To Require Masks In All Profile Pictures | The Babylon Bee
MENLO PARK, CA—Facebook confirmed today that to prevent the spread of coronavirus and promote a safe space to virtue-signal, masks will be required on all profile pictures going forward.
If you log in to Facebook you will be prompted to change your profile picture to one where you are wearing a mask.
If you don't have a mask, Facebook offers digital mask filters to give the appearance that you're wearing one.
Those who refuse the mask will be asked to delete their accounts.

• "This is an issue of public safety," said Mark Zuckerberg. 
• "We were seeing people just commenting on things and posting memes and stuff while their face was clearly visible. The CDC currently says that masks are good, and therefore, you must wear a mask."
• An assistant then whispered in Zuckerberg's ear. "Oh, uh, this just in: the CDC now says that masks are bad. So we'll take this all back." 
• But, before he could reverse the mask order, the CDC issued another update saying that masks were good again.
• "Anyway, yes, a mask for everyone. It's a small thing to do to make everyone feel safe."

Democrat Sen: Founding Fathers And American Heroes Are ‘Dead Traitors’

"Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.) criticized President Trump’s 4th of July speech at Mount Rushmore for focusing on the accomplishments of historical figures. 

“He spent all of his time talking about dead traitors,” Duckworth, a potential Biden vice president pick, told CNN in an interview. 

In his speech, President Trump listed numerous historical figures and celebrities who played a large role in American history. 

Among those listed were the founding fathers, the presidents of Mount Rushmore, Frederick Douglass, Ulysses S. Grant, Martin Luther King, Harriet Tubman, and Elvis Presley...Read all.

Seattle held 'segregated' training session on 'undoing whiteness,' encouraged staffers to forfeit 'guaranteed physical safety' | Fox News
"The City of Seattle held a racially segregated employee training session aimed at White staffers and instructing them on "undoing your own whiteness" in order to be held accountable by people of color, according to documents obtained by a public records request.
...Racism is not our fault but we are responsible." 
Another said White staffers must give up “the land” and their “guaranteed physical safety” in order to be an “accomplice” for racial justice.

The Discovery Institute has since shared copies of the documents obtained from the City of Seattle with Fox News...Read all.

CDC might stop calling COVID an 'epidemic' because of major drop in mortality rate - TheBlaze

CDC might stop calling COVID an 'epidemic' because of major drop in mortality rate - TheBlaze:

The coronavirus mortality rate in the United States has dropped so low that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention may soon stop calling the virus an "epidemic."
The agency explained last Friday that the COVID-19 mortality rate has dropped so low that "the percentage is currently at the epidemic threshold."
"Based on death certificate data, the percentage of deaths attributed to pneumonia, influenza or COVID-19 (PIC) decreased from 9.0% during week 25 to 5.9% during week 26, representing the tenth week of a declining percentage of deaths due to PIC," the agency wrote on its website.
According to the CDC, an "epidemic" is "an increase, often sudden, in the number of cases of a disease above what is normally expected in that population in that area." A "pandemic" is an epidemic happening on a global scale.
The CDC's update is good news.

FACEBOOK: ACT URGENTLY TO TAKE ON THE THREAT OF CLIMATE DENIERS

A follow-up open letter to Helle Thorning-Schmidt and Facebook’s Oversight Board-July 7, 2020

To: Helle Thorning-Schmidt, Facebook Oversight Board

We are disappointed to have received a response from the Oversight Board’s head of communications to our July 1, 2020 letter instead of yourself or another Oversight Board co-chair. The Facebook-created loophole allows climate deniers to circumvent independent fact-checkers to publish lies and misinformation.

...Meanwhile, Facebook is allowing misinformation to spread, and they are hiding behind the promise of an “Oversight Board” that appears to be in name only. 

...As environmental leaders, we feel an urgent duty to take on the threat of climate deniers and climate change. We expect Facebook to work with the same urgency...

Ilhan Omar Calls for 'Dismantling' of America's 'Economy and Political Systems'
"Tuesday at a news conference on systemic racism with Minnesota leaders, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) called for dismantling systems of oppression, including America’s “economy and political systems.”
Omar said, “Right now in Congress the Senate is sitting on a comprehensive bill to transform criminal justice and the policing system. All along with the Congressional Black Caucus, I helped led the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act. And because of Mitch McConnell and Donald Trump, it is being ignored. I guess the president would rather attack the people who are protesting than actually address the issues people are out here protesting for.”
She continued, “We can’t stop at criminal justice reform or police reform for that matter. We are not merely fighting to tear down the systems of oppression in the criminal justice system. We are fighting to tear down systems of oppression that exist in housing, in education, in health care, in employment, in the air we breathe.”
She added...As long as our economy and political systems prioritizes profit without considering who is profiting, who is being shut out, we will perpetuate this inequity. So we cannot stop at criminal justice system. We must begin the work of dismantling the whole system of oppression wherever we find it.”

Tammy Duckworth is open to removing George Washington statues - TheBlaze

Tammy Duckworth is open to removing George Washington statues - TheBlaze:

The argument for removing monuments of former presidents Washington and Jefferson is because they were slave owners. The movement to tear down historical statues has gained traction following the George Floyd protests.
A statue commemorating Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation was voted to be removed in Boston, and there is pressure to tear down an Honest Abe statue in Wisconsin. The American Museum of Natural History in New York City is removing a statue of Theodore Roosevelt.
