    GOOD MORNING BROTHERS AND SISTERS. I PRAY THAT YOU ALL STAY POSITIVE SO THAT WE CAN SURPASS OUR CURRENT SITUATION AND MAKE GREAT LEMONS OUT OF THIS LEMONADE. GOD BLESS YOU ALL AND GRANT YOU HIS MERCY!

      May 31, 2020 31:57 PM

      Al, how can anyone make lemons out of lemonade?

    May 30, 2020 30:38 AM

    i JUST READ IN THE NEWS THAT THE MAJOR CITY THAT KATHY AND I LEFT 10 YEARS AGO HAS JUST SET AN PM CURFEW STARTING TODAY BECAUSE OF THE MAJOR DESTRUCTIVE RIOTING THAT IS OCCURRING THERE.

    I AM SO GLAD THAT KATHY TOLD ME BEFORE WE MOVED UP HERE THAT SHE NO LONGER WANTED TO LIVE IN A MAJOR CITY LIKE PORTLAND, OREGON!

      The whites in America have always left areas of racial tension in their cities instead of dealing with the problem. Nothing new there, the same thing happened in Detroit in 1967, that was over 50 years ago. America is great at telling other countries how to live and they thumb their nose at huge problems that exist in their own society. I could go on ad infinitum, but it will only fall on deaf ears, and Al your thinking is why these problems still exist today. DT

        Democracy fails when elected officials perceive reelection more important than “doing the right thing”.
        It always has and always will. This is true at all levels, from the lowest local official, right up to Presidencies.
        Thus it is that the Mayor of Minneapolis and the Governor of Minnesota failed to act with alacrity in dealing with the police killing of a citizen.

        The even remote appearance of procrastination or potential for cover-up contributed to the adverse reaction from the black population. The black population has every right to complain and protest, however, that right ends at breaking of law.
        AGAIN, mayor and Governor totally failed to react and stop law-breaking, in the form of arson and looting. Such illegal behavior should have immediately been met with pepper spray and rubber bullets: a non-lethal but forceful reaction.
        I am further saddened by the lack of condemnation of illegal actions in the media.

          May 30, 2020 30:19 AM

          Good Morning, Professor. I completely agree with you comment regarding the importance of re-election. I also agree that both the mayor and the governor acted very inefficiently in dealing with what both should have known would result in a major problem. Both did the wrong thing.

          What do you think about a black leader who is respected by the African Americans coming out and saying: “Look let’s prove to them that we are better than this” This idea of mine in no way exonerates the illegal action of the police.

        May 30, 2020 30:13 AM

        I would like you to explain to me why my thinking is why these problems exist today. I can definitely see your point if you mean that we left the “big city” because we did not want to face these problems. If that is what you actually mean, Mr. Tracy, I will admit my mistake and give you credit for that. Please do elaborate a bit, my friend.

          Dr. Frieda in part 3, is wrong in my opinion.
          , in saying that there is no difference between black and white.
          While, of course, there is a bell curve distribution of behavior in any population, the location of peak behavior and spread of behaviors DO VARY, with race/color and age, as well as other factors such as education, social up-bringing, etc..
          While in no way condoning use of excessive force (which, alas, occurs too often among those with the power to inflict same, I attribute the policeman’s behavior probably to two factors:
          First, and importantly, he had gotten away many times previously with excessive use of force.
          Secondly, possibly based on his length of service, he was fearful. Please note, I’m not saying the policeman was rationally justified in being fearful, but that several times in his experience he had had black individuals react forcefully against him. Rightly or wrongly, perhaps even with an element of racial bias/prejudice, this policeman chose to eliminate any possibility of resistance.
          Was his action excessive? Pretty, obviously.
          Was it justified? Most probably not.
          Was it understandable? Yes, even though that does not make it right.
          The fact that this particular policeman had multiple complaints of excessive force in his history, without official redress, made this killing a likely occurrence waiting to happen.

        Dick Tracey Ditto…I grew up in the 50’s 60’s 70’s near DETROIT…It was racially charged to say the least…..The democrats were and still remain masters of recruiting those votes by throwing tax money around for free housing food education and abortion plus money/child born..Marxism and state dependency was ingrained with no need of production demanded……That incentivized women to have many children and the state was the de-facto daddy..The nanny state emerged in that era……Marriage rates plummeted from 85% among African American families to the staggeringly low rate today……But nothing was given out to become free and empowered of the Democratic plantation…So the sociological human problems remain per Tally’s Corner and in my opinion if the thing erupts violently it will be like sparticus freeing his armed slave army…Sorry that is my assessment…

          May 30, 2020 30:13 PM

          Interesting point, Larry. I think that future repercussions will be as I predicted months ago very volatile. You know it’s kind of funny just what Rodney King said years ago about getting along.

          May 30, 2020 30:32 PM

          +1 Agreed. A pretty awesome moment in history.

          There were over 2 million people watching it live on just the youtube page, not counting all the TV coverage.

          Hopefully this is something that everyone can get behind and feel unity behind.

            May 30, 2020 30:53 PM

            We certainly need something positive like this, Excelsior! Thanks man

            May 30, 2020 30:17 PM

            Right on Big Al. A nice change of pace in the news in this country to American ingenuity.

            Yes there were over 16 million views of that launch yesterday and some of the 9 hours of coverage during space.

            Now things have shifted over to them having just docked with space station about 45 minutes ago, and they are doing all the final checks to open up the airlock between Dragon and the International Space Station. It is still live for anyone following the story (or it can be rewatched later on)

            Thanks Excelsior for the comment. It would certainly appear that the government is not the most efficient entity to “head up” an operation like this. Musk is one smart dude!

          May 30, 2020 30:55 PM

          And Thomas the government did not put us there!

          May 30, 2020 30:22 PM

          That was a beautiful thing….anyone still around who doubts Elon Musk engineering proclivity?

      May 30, 2020 30:49 PM

      Wow! They did something that was done 60 years ago! What progress.

      May 30, 2020 30:28 PM

      The fact that so many are making such a big deal about what the commie rooskies did 60 years ago shows what a waste of money NASA is. And Elon is once again sucking off the gooberment teat. Yet so many tax donkeys are cheering this.

      If private enterprise wants to put people into space, great. But don’t make the American tax serfs pay for it. In case you haven’t noticed they are already heavily burdened with taxes, not to mention impossible goooooberment debt!

        May 31, 2020 31:27 AM

        While I agree with you about the focus shifting to private companies for space eventually, but as someone that is not a fan of the destinations for most government tax money, then I’d much rather see my tax money go to this than the Trillions we’ve wasted on the American war machine invading or policing nations all over the world. I’d also rather see my tax money go to something constructive like this versus social justice warrior programs, to buying Nancy Pelosi more liquor for her private jet escapades, or the failing Post Office debacle that should have been dismantled years ago and replaced with private industry like FedEx, UPS, DHL, etc…

          May 31, 2020 31:19 AM

          Check out Austin Fitts and the missing 23 trillion. She says most of it went into the black budget for space. What Musk just did isn’t even child’s play compared to what we are not being told about. Yet, people are cheering that NASA and Musk managed to do something the Rooksies did 60 years ago. It’s beyond absurd.

          Anyone who truly wants to see space exploration succeed should want the government out of it. Government nearly always impedes progress for the little people which is why you and I will never go into space despite trillions of our tax dollars spent by government for space exploration/travel.

            May 31, 2020 31:40 AM

            Ebo……….the missing money is up to about $56 Trillion…….I stopped counting….the number will be impossible to trace, since Fasbe 56…..There are no accounting rules….

            May 31, 2020 31:46 AM

            Agreed Jerry

            May 31, 2020 31:54 AM

            Well, okay!

            May 31, 2020 31:15 AM

            You’re right as usual, Jerry.

            The whole thing is criminal beyond any criminal’s wildest imagination.

            And the Ameroconned people are beyond clueless.

            It’s all so absurd it will make your head spin.

            May 31, 2020 31:16 AM

            Ebolan – I agree with you that “Government nearly always impedes progress for the little people.”

            I’d rather see private companies compete for space business than for the government to be involved, but since SpaceX was docking with the International Space Station, the government needed to be involved with this one.

            May 31, 2020 31:29 AM

            Hey Ex and Jerry,

            Maybe we are entering Opposite Land…”Opposite Land. In this new land, everything is the opposite—mermaids are ugly, princes need rescuing, and people poop ice-cream!”

            That explains San Franshitsco…the libs think the transients are pooping ice cream!

            Welcome to Opposite Land – where socks wear feet, broccoli is meat, behind is ahead, and people poop from their head!”

            Poop from their head? That’s exactly right! Just listen to any politician or bureaucrat talking!

            May 31, 2020 31:34 AM

            I’d like to see companies refuse to do business with the goooberment. If that happened and people refused to pay taxes the goooberment’s criminal activity would collapse.

            May 31, 2020 31:55 AM

            Hopefully, ………..some of the corruption from the CIA, and Deep State., will take hold, to some of the less educated on the subject…….jmo

            Jun 01, 2020 01:10 AM

            Here are so many negative voices (despite so many Americans were very proud yesterday)

            Yesterday was a breakthrough in a new era of human space flight
            It will be similar to the commercialization of the Internet

            The internet also wasn’t possible without massive government investment before. Look up the story of DARPA (Defense Advance Research Projects Agency)

            https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/DARPA

            Btw in an interview from 1968 with Werner von Braun he said that the Russians spent twice as much as the US for their space program. What the Russians achieved in the 60s was also only possible with huge government spending.

            The DARPA government spending created the internet and companies like Google, Amazon, Apple … (first companies that ever reached a trillion dollar market cap)

            The NASA funding creates a commercial space industry and companies like SpaceX, Blue Origin, Virgin Galactic, …

            If these companies are similar successful than the internet giants there is a bright future for human mankind. Mankind has to expand to space, because our planet is limited.

            This is my last comment – will not participate in the political discussions anymore

            This event shows the best of American Society

            – innovative
            – sharing it with all the world
            – showing it how it is (everything real-time and real)
            – everybody is wishing the astronauts only the best (only positive attitudes)

            That‘s I love America for 🙂

            May 30, 2020 30:35 PM

            My sentiments exactly, Thomas. Guess what my opinion of respected black leaders unwilling to speak up is?

            May 30, 2020 30:46 AM

            Thomas – thanks for the positive message and yes, there are so many great things that America has done and currently is.

        After this cycle of “everyone is a racist” runs it’s course, then up next the lame stream media can then shift back over to why we need the Green New Deal and Climate Change.

        Rinse and Repeat.

          May 30, 2020 30:49 AM

          I don’t interpret the news that I have seen as “everybody is a racist” I would not call the mayor of Minneapolis or the governor of Minnesota a racist, I WOULD SIMPLY CALL THEM VERY STUPID IN THIS CASE. Do you agree or disagree?

            May 30, 2020 30:52 AM

            Big Al I was exaggerating a bit for effect, but there have been many interviews, news casts, and editorials this week that weren’t far from claiming all white people are racist. It gets old, it is obviously far from the truth, and I believe most Americans are good people, love their neighbors, and just want to live in peace.

            It is the MEDIA that is fanning the flames of racism to keep people all worked up, and this is the Left’s only chance at trying to beat Trump in the election, so they are playing the race bait card one more time….

            May 30, 2020 30:01 PM

            Are they that stupid. Or, am I so much smarter than everyone else? (Satire)

            May 30, 2020 30:57 PM

            Both Big Al. You are a sharp guy, and yes the media and DNC social justice warriors are that stupid in their approach of these issues.

            May 30, 2020 30:01 PM

            Both Big Al. You are A-sharp guy, and the lame stream media and DNC Social Justice Warriors are that stupid in their approach to these issues.

        May 30, 2020 30:46 AM

        I think that the media in this case is simply reporting the facts and, since the situation is concerning today, I have no problem with that.

          May 30, 2020 30:59 AM

          Big Al – Seriously? The Media is simply reporting the facts. You must be kidding…

          They initially were call the protesters heros for standing up to the police, but neglected to call them what they became – rioters, criminals, and thugs until after they burnt down 170 businesses in the twin cities (including non-profits that helped get job placements in minority areas, 200 affordable housing units under construction, and many other small businesses that will never come back from this and had just opened back up from Covid-19 shutdowns)…. but not before robbing the businesses.

          Even now many liberal outlets are still defending them and showing pictures of the rioters with hands up or kneeling, instead of really highlighting the looting, criminal behavior, setting cars on fire, and violence towards folks.

          There were people driving around in SUVs screaming “kill the white folk.”

          Big Al – How much coverage is the fact reporting media doing on that?

          How about this wacked out social justice warrior for the New York Times that is making it all about white nationalism (again….) and tying that to all the racist Trump supporters. Is this just reporting the facts?

            May 30, 2020 30:04 AM

            Unjust police actions and racism are reals issues to address, but rioters stealing, looting, burning buildings & businesses to the ground, and being violent towards folks of another race is NOT the solution to that problem.

            What is disgusting is that they somehow twisted their minds that stealing flat screen T.V.s or burning down affordable housing under construction and non-profit businesses that help the community source jobs is justified because of their rage. Sorry, that is illegal activity and MLK would be turning over in his grave about the actions of these thugs. The media is portraying them as demonstrators, but they are really criminals and they are destroying their community, which doesn’t do a damn thing to help with police brutality towards African Americans.

            What do you think all this is doing to their property value?
            Why in the hell would anyone want to move to Minnesota or vacation there if this is their idea of “social justice”?

            As a contributing factor, folks being locked down for almost 3 months is likely making people edgy, and that has not been the right solution either.

            What a mess…

            May 30, 2020 30:59 PM

            You misunderstood me Excelsior. By the reporting, I meant the footage which showed me the environments in a macro sense with no inference to right or wrong. For the record, I think that the looters and rioters are doing a grave injustice to the memory of the deceased victim. I personally would say something like, “We have to be better than this in our response because too wrongs do not make a right”

            May 30, 2020 30:18 PM

            Big Al – Yes, I must have misunderstood you then. I thought you meant the media were presenting the facts on the Minneapolis and Saint Paul situation fairly, when there is tons of media bias, playing to one side and playing down the other, and most platforms are using this event as a political tool to try to push a narrative, rather than showing the reality if what was happening on the ground.

            Eventually by day 3 and day 4, more news outlets were forced into posting photos of violence, reckless fires, destruction of businesses & personal property, and looting and robbing. This is mostly because it had trended so heavily on social media and local news in that area, and those same bastions of truth in mainstream media got called out for mostly posting the heartfelt demonstrations, which there were some peaceful protests, But turning a blind eye to all the crazy violence and destruction which was trending in parallel to it at the same time.

            Again many outlets tried to justify this behavior as grieving or a reaction to loss, but there is no grieving that should involve folks burning down somebody’s business or stealing all the furniture out of it. It is not OK to cover up crime and destruction as the answer to another crime.

            Since the Coronavirus news is waning, the liberal media wanted to really run this race baiting news and fan the flames of division and social unrest, because they believe it’s what will help them dispel black voters from going over to voting Trump after Biden’s insane remarks lately that “if they don’t vote for him then they aren’t really black.”

            This episode gave them a new opening to drive a wedge between races and break people into “in-groups” and “out-groups” pitted against one another, and to once again call white people or Trumps supporters as racists or nazis. Obviously, this is tribalism and division, and clearly not the answer, making the issue worse and healing the hurt.

            May 30, 2020 30:45 PM

            Big Al – Yes, I must have misunderstood you then about the general footage from a macro sense, but I’d caution you that they are quite selective in which images they show, how they edit the clips, and in what response this illicits from the views. There is still plenty of media bias and political narrative behind much of it.

            I thought you meant the media was fairly by “simply reporting the facts” about the criminal behavior in Minneapolis and Saint Paul without bias in their coverage. I will say the local news had far more middle of the road coverage than the national coverage or news did, as they were in the middle of it and could see all sides playing out at once, not just a means to push a narrative that fits their political bent.

            Eventually (and begrudgingly) by Day 3 or Day 4, even the lame stream media outlets were forced into posting photos and video of the carnage, the fires, the destruction of personal property, but they were still quite selective. Very few outlest really got down on the ground and showed the maniacs lighting other peoples cars and semi-trucks on fire, people hurling shopping carts at cop cars, people breaking out store windows to take TVs and furniture, people shouting racial slurs and attacking white people just for the color of their skin (no hypocrisy there), or the folks breaking open cash registers to “grieve.”

            In fact the first few days news coverage was about the poor demonstrators grieving to the unfair police that were much tougher on African American communities than they were in Michigan on the protest against the shut downs that largely happened with caucasian protesters, trying to push the narrative that cops were harder on minority protests than gun toting white protesters. However, this was a silly comparison to make, as the Michigan protesters were not burning down their city, stealing, assaulting, or committing criminal acts. That kind of “reporting” is designed to turn folks against one another, and not heal racism, but to fan the flames of outrage and division.

            If all the images of robbery or attacking cars and businesses or attacking the cops and firemen trying to put out the fires they started had not trended so hard on social media and local news, I’m sure the main stream media would have preferred to have not even shown those images at all.

            Their solution to showing the footage was to bring on experts that dismissed the clear criminal thuggery as a “natural reaction to loss” and ‘grieving & anger” but let’s get real here, most of those rioting in the streets and destroying their city didn’t even know this guy and were not out trying to make the world better, they were just looting stores with an entitlement attitude. Some of the looters interviewed on the streets said, “These businesses are making money off our community so F’ them.”. What? All businesses are built to generate profits or they close in ALL communities, but stealing is never OK, and it is never acceptable to react to a crime by committing a series of other crimes. 2-3 wrongs don’t make a right.

            The real facts are that with Coronavirus news tapering down, and a tragic event unfolding, most main stream liberal news outlets were thrilled to get back to Identity Politics, victim consciousness, and race-baiting again. They do this because they believe that breaking people down into groups, instead of addressing all people as individuals, is the best way to corral those groups into votes at the ballot box in November.

            They also wanted to take the opportunity a widely covered white on black crime to corral black votes back to Biden, after the insane things he’s been saying lately like if you don’t for him “then you ain’t black.” He and the Democratic party lost a lot of respect from African Americans after Creepy Joe’s comment, and this was a way of bringing those votes back over to the DNC by capitalizing on this issue, and fanning the flames of racism, division, and tribalism.

            When Trump started tweeting about the lack of leadership from their weak liberal mayor, it was a bonus for the main stream media to fixate on because then they could call him racist, all white people racists, trump supporters as nazis, and there were so many attempts to tie this to Charlottesville (totally unrelated) and make connections that sew the seeds of division.

            Big Al, I’ll stand by my comments that much of the coverage was not factual reporting, but rather heavily biased narratives designed to drive a wedge between races, break people into “in-groups” and “out-groups” and this Identity Politics and victim consciousness is clearly not the answer, making the situation better, or healing the hurt.

            No I did not miss it. I watched it earlier today. I understood what I think Fox was saying. I think that the true meaning was hidden among the attempted satire.

            May 30, 2020 30:54 PM

            I watched the whole clip twice. I know what the true message was meant to be. I just think that it could have been accomplished a bit more clearly so all could easily understand. Now, my statement will probably be construed as being racist.

            May 30, 2020 30:56 PM

            Ha! Thanks for watching the clip and responding Big Al. Yes, I agree that Tuckers coverage was a bit satirical and tongue-in-cheek, but he pointed out the glaring hypocrisy in how most news outlets were covering the events, and the illogical and false narratives under the surface of their coverage and talking heads.

            I believe this massive return to Identity Politics was what the media and liberal leaderships were “thrilled by.”

          May 30, 2020 30:00 PM

          Everyone should take 30 seconds and review this #VIDEO clip. It is silent but the images do all the talking.

          Was the riotous mob and criminal behavior that destroyed the Twin Cities really a fair response to police brutality?

            Los Angeles Looters Hit the The Grove, Rodeo Drive as National Unrest Mounts
            By Ella Chochrek – May 31, 2020

            “Onlookers reported a chaotic scene in Los Angeles yesterday as mostly peaceful protests turned destructive — leaving damaged storefronts in their wake.”

            “At The Grove, a kiosk for the Los Angeles Police Department was set on fire, while the Nordstrom store next door was broken into. Several other stores in the shopping center, including Nike and J.Crew, were also subject to looting.”

            Jun 01, 2020 01:46 AM

            This is truly horrific and heart breaking and isn’t honoring the death of George Floyd, and people have shifted to mob rule, criminal acts, violence, and it isn’t helping, isn’t grieving, and isn’t healing. It’s just plain insanity.

      I agree. My personal situation is such a high risk situation that I simply choose to voluntarily quarantine. Simply using what I think is common sense.

        May 30, 2020 30:49 AM

        Understood Big Al and high risk people should still be very cautious, but the models they used to lock down the entire country, forcing 40 million Americans out of work, crushing thousands of small businesses, increasing suicides, domestic violence, depression & anxiety, and destroying the economy while taking more of our individual liberties was corrupt from the get-go, and many of us tried pointing that out back in early March.

        Again, just look at the power brokers behind the WHO, CDC, and GAVI and it was clear from day 1 not to accept their “official” numbers or models.

        Now several months after everyone freaking out and judging their neighbors about this deadly plague, it turns out the CDC finally admits it was no more dangerous that the flu. We’ve never shut down the entire country for the flu, and it was a mistake to have done it this time. The damage is now down and is irreversible.

        Shame on the CDC and WHO and all the suckers that bought their load of goods hook, line, and sinker.

          May 30, 2020 30:22 AM

          Ex, forget about Covid today and enjoy viewing a historic moment live on YouTube -:)

            May 30, 2020 30:36 AM

            Hi Thomas. Oh, I’m not the slightest bit worried about Covid, and just saw that article with “revised CDC figures” and it was too important (and obvious to many from day 1) not to post. Many citizens hoodwinked into hiding out and shaking in their boots from the numbers this same organization pumped out in February, March, April, and May, so calling them out is necessary.

            For reference, I haven’t really cared about the corona virus for some time now, and actually was enjoying fellowship at an outdoor Winery last night breaking bread with my family at a birthday party. It was so refreshing to see hundreds of folks out, on a big beautiful hillside without masks, laughing, dating, kids were playing, and there was some semblance of normalcy. There were still some social distancing rules in place in lines, or with the cashiers, but all in all if felt like a regular day.

            I was out at a Mexican restaurant earlier in the week with friends, eating on an outside patio and it was so nice to order food and eat it at the same place. No boogyman came to get us, but it was odd to have all the servers and staff in gloves and masks. I’ve never felt so confident in the cleanliness of restaurants, the food conditions, or their bathrooms. (haha!)

            However, as you noted, I will checkout the SpaceX launch as recommended. 🙂

            May 30, 2020 30:16 PM

            My personal feeling about the “lock down” is that the numbers show that it is economically detrimental to America but smart for the demographic that we happen to be a part of.

          I further believe Dr. Frieda ears in her discussion of covid-19.
          I believe the government’s obligation is to inform and protect the public. BUT AGAIN THE GOVERNMENT MUST REMAIN WITHIN THE BOUNDS OF LAW AND THE CONSTITUTION. The U.S. Government, as I read the Constitution, does not have limitless power. It has exceeded it permissible authority at local, and state levels.
          It simply does not have the right to stop people from being stupid, no matter how well intentioned.
          Furthermore, I agree with Excelsior that government actions have contributed to the destruction of the economy.

            May 30, 2020 30:31 AM

            Agreed CFS. As you stated, “The government actions have contributed to the destruction of the economy.”

            I’d add they trampled on civil liberties, governors thrived on their new power, they arrested folks for going to parks or surfing alone in the ocean for crying out loud, and this is only the beginning of all the new laws, vaccination push, and strangle holds they will force on society moving forward.

            Big Al that comment was not directed at you personally but in general to all the people that used false reporting and false numbers of the corrupt WHO and CDC to police and judge the actions of their neighbors or what other people were doing with their personal freedoms.

            The very source of much of the fears and people & businesses forcing individual citizens into the lockdowns and new social norms, that crushed the economy, that laid off over 40 Million Americans, that forced people with legitimate medical procedures to wait on the sidelines (endangering their health), and forced so many millions into further addiction/depression/anxiety issues is the root of the issue.

            Bad Data (and purposely so), forced the narrative that caused so much pain.

            So yeah, when they come out months later revising the death rate down to that of the common flu, after slamming to the mat anyone that dared make that point or analogy, it isn’t bittersweet vengeance, it is crucial to point out the hypocrisy here so that everyday folks don’t fall for this garbage “hook, line, and sinker” next time, or when the next wave of this “forever fear” starts back up.

        I guess we could discuss, ….the types….and see if, it is logical that “most” shootings are justified. Although, I find it hard to believe, shootings in and on the streets of America are justified. I find it hard to believe, that our system at the top is so corrupt, that, people think shootings are justifiable….
        I find it hard to believe that the Supreme Court…..rules, that they can tell a church or organizations, that they think they should shut down, when allowing food retailers, Home depo, Lowes, Auto stores, it is ok to stay open.
        Maybe, if the system had a little more church, there would not be so many shootings, and not the need for so many police……..hummm.

      The fatal encounter began just before 8 p.m., when Floyd entered Cup Foods, a community store run by four brothers, and a store clerk claimed that he had paid for cigarettes with a counterfeit $20 bill. The police got a call from the store at 8:01 p.m.

      “Um, someone comes our store and give us fake bills, and we realize it before he left the store,” the caller said, according to a transcript released by the authorities, “and we ran back outside, they was sitting on their car.”

      The store clerk demanded the cigarettes back. “But he doesn’t want to do that, and he’s sitting on his car cause he is awfully drunk and he’s not in control of himself,” the clerk said, according to a transcript of the call to police. “He is not acting right.”

      The dispatcher pressed for a description, and the caller described the man as tall, bald, about 6 feet tall.

      “Is he white, black, Native, Hispanic, Asian?”

      “Something like that,” the caller replied.

      “Which one? White, black, Native, Hispanic, Asian?”

      “No, he’s a black guy,” the caller said.

      Not long after, Angel Stately, a regular customer and former employee, arrived at the store looking for menthol cigarettes. The police were already outside. Stately said the clerk, a teenager, was feeling bad; he had called the police, he told her, only because it was protocol.

      The clerk held up a folded bill and showed it to her. The bill was an obvious fake, she said. “The ink was still running,” she said.

        May 31, 2020 31:53 AM

        Floyd was a Security Guard, so it seems very unusual that he would bring a fake $20 bill to that community store that has ink still running on it. (WTF?)

        In addition, it is even more odd that that the cop that kneeled on Floyd’s neck already knew him, and supposedly they had worked together in the past as bouncers. It is even more strange that the cop the did the kneeling was also at the Boston Bombing event in years past.

          May 31, 2020 31:54 AM

            May 31, 2020 31:24 PM

            Good morning Big Al. There isn’t much to expand on other than I believe there were two group of protesters, not just at Minneapolis/St Paul, but around the country.

            Group# 1 – Citizens out peacefully protesting an injustice they saw, and they were well within their rights to speak their mind and have their voices heard.

            Group #2 – A collection of organized protesters brought in from outside the area specifically to cause an event which easily tipped into a full scale riot in many cities, and these folks encourage a more radical demonstration, encouraged conflict and violence, and this led to the breakdown in law and the looting, theft, burning of businesses, and complete criminal behavior. This group did nothing to heal the wounds or lesson grievances, but simply stoked the flames of racism and division, and help escalate things to make the lives of the people in those cities much worse than before they arrived.

            We’ve seen organized protests and paid protesters time and again funded by organizations like George Soros and other cabal members, so it wouldn’t surprise me at all if many of the protesters that people on the ground mentioned came in form out of town, like Antifa thugs, were only there to escalate tensions, and the left the town in rubble. It is a disgrace to those that actually wanted to keep the protests peaceful, and it caused massive destruction of 170 small businesses, that may never open back up and they’ll have to lay off their staff now, only adding to long list of unemployed Americans. I’d love to see some real journalists start calling them out on it.

      Yeah, I had heard the cop that did the kneeling, was also present at the Boston Bombing, and may be a deep state plant. It is similar to during the “Arab Spring” we would see deep state actors show up in multiple countries and it was shown they were on the payroll of George Soro’s organization.

          At some point, one of these false flag ops needs to be uncovered, which leads to the truth of all the others. Let’s hope this is “the one”.
          It does need to be exposed.

          How do they have this fake cop locked up?
          When the fake EMTs picked Ford up, they broke all protocol.
          How is Antifa and the other groups so organized in all these cities?

          Chartster, this post in that feed is really wild.

          Government workers were going around Minneapolis before the riots ever started putting bricks out near street corners to “protect and serve” the rioters.

          Again, I’m sure this being done right before the riots is just a really bizarre “Coincidence” …. right….

            The only way a police department gets burnt is, the police captain and mayor are letting it happen. Just like they let a fake non-cop film a killing!
            It has to get exposed. We are better than that.

            May 31, 2020 31:35 AM

            I agree that the decision to abandon the police department was a decision to let the riotous mob have the station to burn. I’m not sure what else they could have done though as they couldn’t stay in it, and couldn’t just keep firing gas and rubber bullets at the crowd without producing media rage, so they just jump ship and the locusts descended on it.

    Meanwhile even Google is feeling the problems in the economy:
    For the longest time, Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL) subsidiary Google has been known to depend heavily upon a workforce of temporary employees and contractors. Google employs so many temps and contractors, in fact, that its non-employee workforce actually outnumbers Google’s actual employees.
    That mismatch is shrinking a bit this month – but not in a good way.
    Rather than convert more temps into full-time employees (which would be a good thing for the workers), the New York Times reported Friday that Google has rescinded job offers to “several thousand” temporary and contract workers at locations around the world, workers that the company had previously planned to hire.
    “We’re slowing our pace of hiring and investment, and are not bringing on as many new starters as we had planned at the beginning of the year,” said Google in an email sent to the staffing firms that it had planned to hire from, explaining that it “will not be moving forward to onboard” the workers in question. Indeed, in April, as the recession gathered steam, Google pulled job offers it had extended to “several dozen” temporary and contract workers – but this latest wave of rescissions is multiple times larger in scale.
    The staffing firms, too, could see an effect from Google’s move. Accenture (NYSE:ACN), Cognizant (NASDAQ:CTSH), and Adecco are all said to be among the companies whose employees will not be taken on as temps and contract employees at Google, and this will reduce the revenues those firms would have received from placing the workers.
    In a statement, Google spokeswoman Alex Krasov noted that Google is also slowing down its hiring pace of full-time employees.

    As an outsider looking in and I will admit I have not done alot of background research pertaining to the current events taking place in America, it would appear that there is something fishy going on. Like Ex stated, the footage of the officer with his knee placed on the victims neck looks somewhat suspicious. And now to witness marked police vehicles blatantly driving through scores of people seems too purposely inflammatory towards the whole situation. The divisive wedges are deep seeded and successful if nothing else… Divide and conqueor!

      May 31, 2020 31:47 AM

      I was a bit more suspicious of that cop, was also present at the Boston Bombings, and the fact that the day before bricks that were used in the riots were dropped off at a number street corners nearby into the evening where there was no construction going on.

      Also there is paperwork that people took photos of posted on Twitter with instructions on how paid protesters were supposed to act during the event (ie…. no kicking allowed, punching must be below the neck and above the waist, but open hands are ok anywhere, no objects may be brought and they most only use the props provided…) That is pretty crazy (but not surprising) info as we’ve seen that film before with paid protesters by Soro’s organization showing up to many events in the past.

      Yes, it is shame about the divisive wedges being between “groups” or “tribes” when really everyone is sovereign individuals, and people are where the power resides, not these elitist cronies that feel they are in power.

        May 31, 2020 31:21 AM

        I guess the same cop was also at Sandy Hook as well.

          Ex, …….Ebo, posted above, that the cop, is a CIA agent,and is a multimillionaire…

            May 31, 2020 31:31 PM

            Yep, just reiterating the point, and I created a link to just the graphic without all the Twitter backdrop for folks that just wanted to see the image.

            Here is a an interesting YouTube channel called “And We Know,” where this guy crunches down a compressed view of many news clips of the week, and it ranges from hot news like the space shuttle launch, and presidental speeches, news coverage of the Minneapolis/St Paul riots, as well as crowd sourced coverage of the riots on the streets which paint a much different picture than how some things were covered by mostly liberal major news outlets. There is some interesting footage that raises a number of questions about just who was rioting, the motivations of these organized protesters mixed in with local protesters, and a few more fringe Q and “coincidence theory” ideas worth at least mulling over. Cheers!
