Minneapolis DEM Mayor Jacob Frey puts on a good show, feigning concern and compassion over George Floyd death.

WBUR News (via Archive): 4 Police Officers Fired After A Black Man Dies In Minneapolis Police Custody.
[Jacob Frey] the mayor of Minneapolis says four Minneapolis Police Department officers involved in the death of a black man in police custody have been terminated. The FBI is investigating the incident.

A 10-minute video widely circulated on social media and referenced by Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey shows a police officer using his knee to pin the man's neck to the ground for multiple minutes.
Here's Soy Boy Frey's well-rehearsed response. I enjoy his measured moments of silence as he feigns concern, grief, muted anger and incredulity.


It's an award-winning performance by Frey. You know he practiced it in front of a mirror for...hours, maybe?



"Being Black in America should not be a death sentence." Is Frey the Mayor of America or of Minneapolis, which, yes - is part of America. You get my point, Frey is passing accountability onto America, not taking ownership of what happens in his own back yard. Nice try, Big Fail.

Frey's statement reads just like a template and it should considering the deaths of Black men and women by overly-aggressive, hair-trigger police officers in Minneapolis which becomes more common every day.

Minneapolis taxpayers must have a lot of extra cash sitting around as the city keeps paying out settlements - or is sued and loses the case - of several hundred-thousands to millions of dollars. What is the price of a human life? Well, ask the Minneapolis City Council. They seem to have a knack in this one aspect of city finances.

Here's the video of Mr. George Floyd being detained.

Advisory: Not for children, graphic, language.


In a real world, by now, Minneapolis Soy Boy Frey would have been forced out of office and Minneapolis Police Chief Medaria Arradondo would have resigned.

Frey and Arradondo promised their administration and policies would be in a new, bold, different direction from their predecessors former mayor Betsy "Hitler" Hodges and former PD Chief Janee Harteau. Well, ya know - - campaign promises and words. Accountability? They've never heard the word.

It unnecessary to mention that Minneapolis is, and has been, a deeply entrenched Blue City for years, but I will lest anyone forget. Will Minneapolis' Black community continue supporting and electing Democrats?

Frey needs to go, but he won't resign - not unless a loud public vocal reckoning forces him to. The four police officers were fired, but that's not Frey taking responsibility. No, that's Frey doing what DEMS do, blame others. (Not that the officers involved aren't to blame, they are).

Considering Frey is part of the political party that so often defaults to the, "the person in charge must go" mentality, it's not surprising he doesn't apply the same standard to himself. The Minneapolis Liberals won't hold him to the standard that they apply to their political opponents. But...ooooohh...but if this had involved a Republican mayor? Gone in less time than the blink of an eye.

Arradondo needs to go. Can voices grow loud enough to oust both Frey and Arradondo? We can hope, but it's unlikely.

The UN calls for accurate and reliable Covid19 information.

The UN is on the Covid-19 case and here to save us? We can all rest easy now.

@ UN Twitter:

How do I get a cushy job on the UN Twitter Writing Team? I can write better platitudes than that.

When is Professor Neil Ferguson available to discuss his flawed and wildly inaccurate Imperial College model and studies? That might be a good place to start.

We really can't expect truth from the UN or its Secretary-General António Guterres, a NWO Globalist (search it out!). Hard to say which organization is more illegitimate, unscrupulous and opaque, the UN or WHO. Flip a coin.

Maybe Dr. Anthony Fauci can explain his four-month long contradictions and failures.

Gutting our CDC and NIH of employees who put their political ideology ahead of science is required if anyone ever expects accuracy on Covid or any other public health matter. Surely these people exist. Why not a massive housecleaning of both agencies? So what if there's a DEM political uproar. That's just be too bad. BooF'gHoo.

Is it possible to finally exile the posers and those with subversive and seditious agendas?

Queen's Brian May recovering from Sheer heart attack.

Newshub: Queen rocker Brian May rushed to hospital after suffering a heart attack.
Queen's Brian May has revealed he is currently recovering from surgery after suffering a heart attack.

The 72-year-old had a heart attack while he was recovering from a buttocks injury he got while gardening earlier this month.
[.]
The result of an angiogram following the heart attack revealed he had three arteries that were "congested and in danger of blocking the blood to my heart", May said.

"It was about 40 minutes of pain in the chest and tightness," he said of the heart attack.

"To cut a long story short, my wonderful doctor drove me to the hospital himself and I had an angiogram."

May went on to have open heart surgery and three stents were put in place.

"I couldn't feel they had been in here. I couldn't feel anything and I still can't, it's been amazing."

"Sheer Heart Attack" from News of the World.

We wish Mr. May a fast and full recovery!

Memorial Day.

Biden on "Wheel of Fortune" must solve N_GGERS puzzle.


Biden on "The Breakfast Club": "if you don't vote for me you ain't Black."


Breitbart: Biden's comments show Democrats take Black voters for granted.

Daily MailNAACP denies Joe Biden's claim that it endorsed him 'every time' he has run.
NAACP President and CEO Derrick Johnson addressed Biden's comments in an official press release that said the organization doesn't endorse political candidates.

'We want to clarify that the NAACP is a non-partisan organization and does not endorse candidates for political office at any level,' wrote Johnson.

Whitmer's husband denied his boating due to Covid.

What a piece of shit. Another example of Liberal Privilege:

Michigan's First Lady Mrs. Dr. Marc Whitmer "Mallory"

A man claiming to be Dr. Marc Mallory, the husband of nasty woman Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, called a docking/boat company late last week requesting immediate access to the couple’s boat for Memorial Day weekend.

But because the company, NorthShore Dock LLC, was already severely behind schedule because of Whitmer’s oppressive shutdown orders, his request had to be denied.
[.]
“This morning I was out working when the office called me, there was a gentleman on hold who wanted his boat in the water before the weekend. Being memorial weekend and the fact that we started working 3 weeks late means there is no chance this is going to happen,” the since-deleted post reads.

Well, our office personnel had explained this to the man and he replied: ‘I am the husband to the governor, will this make a difference?'”

The answer was a resounding no.

“As you can imagine, that does make a difference, that would put you at the back of the line!!!” the employee sarcastically wrote.

“Needless to say, our Governor and her husband will not be getting their boat for memorial day.” He added: “Too good not to share, I love it when karma comes around, even in small doses.

Did this actually happen, though, or is it just a fake Facebook meme? According to NorthShore Dock LLC, it’s 100 percent real.

Minnesota State Fair Canceled!


The 2020 Minnesota State Fair is canceled due to the China Virus, aka Corona, aka Covid-19.

US World and News Report (Archive): 2020 Minnesota State Fair Canceled Due to COVID-19 Pandemic.
Officials canceled the Minnesota State Fair on Friday after its leader said the COVID-19 pandemic made it impossible for the show to go on.
[.]
“We all love the fair. And that’s exactly why we can’t have a fair this year,“ General Manager Jerry Hammer told the fair's governing board shortly before the unanimous vote.
[.]
Hammer has dubbed [the 2021 state fair as], ”The Great Minnesota Get-Back-Together."
Oooooh Hoooooooo..."The Great Minnesota Get-Back-Together."  That's so clever Jerry. Did you think of that all on your own or did a nice chunk of taxpayer money go to some out of state ad agency to create such a cutesy yet lame-assed hackneyed bromide?

Almost $20 bucks just for an entry ticket. Immediately as you pass through the gate, one of the first things you see is a gigantic DFL (Democrat-Farm-Labor...of which the MN DEM party is none of those) booth.

All the vendors selling disgustingly overpriced deep-fried shit-on-a-stick and the rides and sideshows will just have to make due with a little less avarice this year. Ahhhhh, Dat's. So. Sad. Join the rest of the world who are making due with much less because of the CHINA virus.

The fair is nothing but a huge moneymaker for the Minnesota DEM party and their sycophantic remoras. I could not be happier knowing these DEM organizations won't be receiving their cut of the revenue. They make the Mafia look like rank amateurs.

The fair is canceled. Good. Fuck 'em.

“I guess I won’t do this again,” last words by woman killed by alligator.

Post and Courier (May 5): Woman killed by gator on Kiawah Island was ‘fascinated,’ took pictures before attack.
Cynthia Covert was waist deep in a pond behind her friend’s home on Kiawah Island clutching a rope as her friends tried to get her away from the alligator that dragged her into the water.

As her friends pulled, she calmly said, “I guess I won’t do this again,” according to a supplemental report released Tuesday by the Charleston County Sheriff’s Office.

Moments later, the alligator rolled. Covert, 58, went under.

The supplemental report provides further details on South Carolina’s third deadly alligator attack in four years.

Covert, a Johns Island resident, was on Kiawah doing her friend’s nails, the report said. The friend told investigators that Covert was “very talkative and acting strange.”
[.]
[she] was taking pictures of the alligator.”

The friend was cleaning her porch when she saw Covert by the water, the report said. She started yelling for Covert to get back, but her cries were ignored. She yelled out that the alligator grabbed a deer from that spot “the other day.”

Covert replied, “I don’t look like a deer.”

Then she moved to touch the alligator, the report said.
[.]
Deputies and firefighters arrived at the scene on Salt Cedar Lane and saw no movement, the report said. After about 10 or 15 minutes, Covert’s body surfaced but the alligator still had hold of her leg and took her body back under.

The alligator and Covert’s body surfaced a few moments later and a deputy shot the reptile in the head with his 9 mm handgun, causing it to release Covert, the report said.

Crews retrieved her body, which was intact and had severe wounds on the left leg, the report said. The alligator was shot several more times until it died and was brought to shore.

Scientists believe cannabis could help prevent and treat coronavirus .

NY Post: Scientists believe cannabis could help prevent and treat coronavirus.
A team of Canadian scientists believes it has found strong strains of cannabis that could help prevent and then treat coronavirus infections, according to interviews and a study.

Researchers from the University of Lethbridge said that a study in April showed at least 13 cannabis plants high in CBD that appeared to affect the ACE2 pathways that the bug uses to access the body.

We were totally stunned at first, and then we were really happy,” one of the researchers, Olga Kovalchuk, told CTV News.

The results, printed in online journal Preprints, indicated hemp extracts high in CBD may help block proteins that provide a “gateway” for COVID-19 to enter host cells.
[.]
Stressing that more research was needed, the study gave hope that if proven to modulate the enzyme it “may prove a plausible strategy for decreasing disease susceptibility” as well as “become a useful and safe addition to the treatment of COVID-19 as an adjunct therapy.”

Cannabis could even be used to “develop easy-to-use preventative treatments in the form of mouthwash and throat gargle products,” the study suggested, with a “potential to decrease viral entry” through the mouth.

Joe Rogan moving to Spotify, had enough of You Tube.

RT: Stop censoring us, Big Tech! Joe Rogan’s $100 million move to Spotify sends stark message to YouTube.
The comedian’s landmark shift away from the Google-owned streaming service could signal the start of a wave of creators moving away from the site – as it bafflingly attempts to pander to legacy media.
[.]
... it is perhaps not surprising that Spotify have just wooed the former Fear Factor presenter away from YouTube after writing him a cheque for a rumoured $100 million.
[.]
...the Joe Rogan Experience’s home has been YouTube. His channel, “PowerfulJRE”, has more than eight million subscribers and he pulls in around 400 million views a month. But despite these outrageous numbers and his ludicrous success on the medium, Rogan has decided to leave the platform.

Doctor Pelosi on morbid obesity. Her MD is from where?


House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) on Wednesday doubled down on calling President Donald Trump “morbidly obese,” claiming that she was dishing out “a dose of his own medicine” that was “factual,” yet “sympathetic.”
I am being factual and sympathetic in pointing out the morbid obesity of Stacey Abrams because I am very concerned and prayerful about the state of her health and well-being.

I wonder...what is Stacey's BMI?

JUNIOR Senator Romney Supports Vote-by-Mail.

Utah's AssClown JUNIOR Senator Mittens Romney

Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT), one of the Republican Party’s most vocal critics of President Donald Trump, responded to the president’s criticism of recent vote-by-mail initiatives by Democrat governors, claiming the voting system works seamlessly in his home state.

In my state, I’ll bet 90% of us vote by mail. It works very very well and it’s a very Republican state,” Romney told reporters on Capitol Hill when asked about the president’s comments, according to ABC News.
No matter what is said by President Donald Trump, rest assured JUNIOR Senator Mittens will embrace the opposite.
-
President Trump: "Mitt Romney? Mitt is one of the kindest, helpful, sincere, humble and generous person I have ever known."

JUNIOR Senator Mitt Romney: "No! No I am not kind, helpful, sincere, humble or generous! I am none of those things! No one who knows me likes me! No one!"

How's that Utah Recall of JUNIOR Senator Mittens going?

I don't recall where I read it, but Romney hates - just HATES -  being referred to as Utah's JUNIOR Senator. So please, if you're ever writing about him, make sure to call him Utah's JUNIOR Senator.

Some Minnesota Churches to defy Gov Walz and open for services.


Post Bulletin (via Archive): Minnesota restaurants, bars and salons get June 1 date to reopen, churches to hold services against state orders.
Senate Majority Leader Paul Gazelka, R-East Gull Lake, said he was "dumbfounded" at the governor's move to allow restaurants, bars and salons to reopen, but not letting churches reopen.

"I see no reason why churches are any more dangerous a place for coronavirus transmission than Walmart or a mall," Gazelka said. "If you can get a haircut, shop at a mall, or eat at a restaurant, you should be able to go to church.”
[.]
But faith leaders on Wednesday said that wasn't good enough. In a statement, leaders of the Minnesota Catholic Conference and the Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod in Minnesota said they would hold services beginning next week despite state orders restricting gatherings to 10 people or fewer.

“Darkness and despair have taken hold of so many of our fellow Americans in the face of the economic and social hardship of the COVID-19 pandemic,” Archbishop Bernard Hebda said. “Faith has always been a source of comfort and strength and now more than ever it is of the utmost importance that we are able to meet the spiritual needs of our community.”

If businesses and restaurants can reopen at limited capacity, churches ought to be able to as well, faith leaders said.
Walz is really enjoying his newfound tyranny. Any why wouldn't he? He's still getting paid.

Do any image search on Tim Walz, you'll see he hasn't missed any meals. He's not worried about meals next week, let alone tomorrow. He hasn't had to worry about paying the mortgage or rent. His utilities are all paid. His transportation and travel is provided and funded. He doesn't worry about how he'll pay for healthcare and insurance. All of this, paid by taxpayers. Why, it's like he's not living in reality.

Flashback 2017: Tim Walz calls rural, conservative, Red Minnesota, "rocks and cows."

HOA removes graduation signs. Homeowners upset.


Homeowners are upset after their homeowners association in their Mission Viejo, California neighborhood removed graduation signs from the front yards of students.

"We put it up and we're so excited. You walk around your neighborhood and get excited to see which school each of the seniors are from. There's 5th graders that are graduating from elementary school and the 8th graders," said graduating senior Sofia Muratalla.

But, she says, disappointment set in when families saw all the signs had been taken.

"They either walked around and took them down or had the security company do it," said one neighbor, who later learned the HOA confirmed the signs were taken down because they violated association rules. His 11-year-old's son was also removed. "It's just ridiculous. Cold and cruel and we should be coming together as a community right now not finding ways to pick fights," he said.

The HOA told California media outlet KCAL that the signs would be returned to homeowners at their request.
"Cold and Cruel"...the number one tactic and principle of all HOAs.

Maybe the California HOA took their cue from Tiny Fascist David Stewart.

Glass panel, too big for elevator...let's try it anyway. What could go wrong?


This is the moment three men in Vietnam tried to take a large glass sheet into a lift only for it to shatter when one of them let go of the open door button.

The video of the disastrous lift ride was posted on social media on May 17.

A man in a white shirt enters the lift before a second man in a black shirt follows him and places a large glass sheet on the floor outside the lift doors.
[.]
...the doors shut with one end of the sheet still sitting the other side of the threshold. A third man is left outside.

The man in the white shirt is unable to reopen the doors and the lift starts descending, forcing the glass up.

The sheet gets caught and sends a cloud of dust into the lift.

CDC backtracks: now says Covid-19 DOESN'T spread easily on contaminated surfaces. It's SCIENCE!


The language is a subtle change from the organization’s warning in early March, when it wrote simply that it “may be possible” to spread the virus through contaminated surfaces.
"...a SUBTLE change..." SUBTLE? Which CDC is this? The one with Anthony Fauci as their spokesman? His analysis of the degree of a health threat from the Coronavirus to America from January through April certainly (cough, cough, ahem...) evolved.

I'll flip a phrase so embraced by Never-Trumpers: "Are there any ADULTS in the room of the CDC?"

Alvin's in Kentucky: Those wearing masks Shall Not Pass!


A Kentucky convenience store told customers to take off their face masks or “go somewhere else” — but later did an about-face when called out for the controversial message.

A photo of the sign outside Alvin’s in Manchester was shared Monday on Facebook by a man who said he wanted to “spread their shame” by publicizing the business’ call to flout Gov. Andy Beshear’s mask guidance, intended to curb the spread of the coronavirus, the Lexington Herald-Leader reports.

No face masks allowed in store,” the pink sign read. “Lower your mask or go somewhere else! Stop listening to Beshear. He’s a dumbass.”

Instead, the shopper’s post — which was shared more than 3,800 times — prompted some Facebook users to call him a “snitch,” and others said they saw the sign as a “patriotic statement.”

“If I didn’t live so far away, I would do all my shopping here,” another man wrote. “Finally somebody with same dang common sense.”

The store, however, later changed its message, saying it would not turn away customers who are wearing face coverings.

“We are not telling you to not wear a mask,” Alvin’s wrote Tuesday on Facebook. “What we are saying is, [it’s] your choice to wear one or not, not our [government’s] choice for us. While some got the meaning behind it, [a lot] did not.”

The sign was not intended to “offend anyone,” according to Tuesday’s post.
[.]
The sign, meanwhile, has led some to consider making a 60-minute drive just to pick up lunch there.

DO NOT APOLOGIZE FOR ANYTHING,” one reply read. “We are planning a road trip just to eat at your place.

California first relief fund of its kind: financial support to Undocumented Immigrants.


Starting today, undocumented immigrants in California can begin applying for financial assistance to support them during the coronavirus pandemic — in the first relief fund of its kind.

Gov. Gavin Newsom announced the $125 million coronavirus disaster relief fund last month to support undocumented immigrants who were ineligible for federal stimulus checks and unemployment benefits due to their immigration status.
[.]
I’m not here to suggest that $125 million is enough. But I am here to suggest it’s a good start, and I’m very proud it’s starting here in the state of California,” [said Newsom].
A paltry $125 Mill? It's just the beginning.

Amy Klobuchar, hypocrite and liar. Why is she so dismissive of allegations Joe Biden sexually assaulted Tara Reade?

It's different when the person accused of sexual harassment is a Democrat, isn't it, Amy? Why does Amy support Joe Biden but not Tara Reade? Why was Amy so venomous to go after Brent Kavanaugh but all Joe Biden has to say is, "I dindunuffin," and that's sufficient for Amy?

Why isn't Amy Klobuchar giving Tara Reade the same respect she insisted be given to Dr. Christine Ford? You'd have to ask Amy:

@ MSNBC Twitter

Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) stated that the misconduct allegation against 2020 Democratic presidential candidate former Vice President Joe Biden “has been investigated.”

Klobuchar said, “He has said, and I agree with this, you’ve got to get to the bottom of every case and all allegations. I think the New York Times — I haven’t read all the stories. I read that one. Your viewers should read that. It was very thorough. They interviewed people. And I have done a lot of work on this. I actually led the effort to change the rules in the U.S. Senate so that it is easier to bring these cases forward and so that we have taxpayers not paying for bad conduct. I think this case has been investigated. I know the vice president as a major leader on domestic abuse, I worked with him on that. And I think that, again, the viewers should read the article. It was very thorough.”
"Viewers should read the article. It was very thorough." A total lie from Klobuchar. They NYT never formed anything conclusive in their story about Tara Reade's allegation that Joe Biden forcibly and sexually assaulted her.

Breitbart: Fact Checking 3 Falsehoods in Biden Campaign’s Tara Reade Talking Points.
CLAIM #1: The New York Times conducted a “thorough review” of Reade’s allegations.

VERDICT: False.
[.]
CLAIM #2: The Times’ reporting “has led to the truth: this incident did not happen.”

VERDICT: False.
[.]
CLAIM #3: There has never even been a “hint” or “rumor” of similar behavior from Biden “ever” in history.

VERDICT: False.
Klobuchar doesn't care about women being abused unless it helps further the Liberal Political Narrative or if it can be used as a smear tactic against any political opponent.

Klobuchar still thinks she's got a shot at being Biden's running mate. She can dream on in her own little snow-globe world. I still maintain Biden won't be the candidate. He'll drop out citing, "health concerns."

Do you know how Klobuchar is pronounced in Minnesota? Mondale.

Georgia man allegedly had sex with woman’s corpse outside homeless shelter.


Kenny Obyran Whitehead, 55, was taken into custody on a necrophilia charge at about 4 a.m. Sunday outside of the Daybreak Day Resource Center in Macon, where deputies responded to a report of two people having sex on the building’s front steps, according to the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office.

“When deputies arrived they found the two having intercourse,” department officials said in a statement. “After the male was asked to get dressed, it was discovered that the female was unresponsive.”

Paramedics later determined that the woman – who was not immediately identified – had been deceased for “some time,” sheriff officials said.
[.]
Whitehead, of Macon, has been ordered held without bond. He remained in custody Monday on the necrophilia charge, as well as a probation violation, online records show.
UPDATE: AJC -  Necrophilia suspect now faces rape, murder charges, Middle Georgia cops say.

Michigan Sheriffs won't be writing tickets, enforcing Whitmer's orders.

Detroit Free Press: Genesee County sheriff: 'Don't expect us' to write tickets enforcing Whitmer's order.
Genesee County Sheriff Chris Swanson implied he would not strictly enforce Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's stay-at-home order.

Swanson spoke with Detroit radio personality Charlie LeDuff on "No BS News Hour" on Friday about the statewide stay-home order. When LeDuff asked Swanson if he would enforce the orders, Swanson said the sheriff's job is to enforce the laws "with discretion."

"We have not raided a business, we have not shut a business down," Swanson said. "We are not pulling people over, we are not writing tickets, and don't expect us to do it."

LeDuff raised the issue in regard to Karl Manke, the Owosso barber who defied the orders and opened his barber shop before the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs suspended his barbers license. 
[.]
Sheriff Brian Begole said his department will not enforce the governor's orders.

"I have decided, within my authority, that our office cannot and will not divert our primary resources and efforts towards enforcement of the Gov. Whitmer's executive orders,” Begole said in a letter.

Several other Michigan sheriffs announced they will not enforce the orders, including Livingston County Sheriff Mike Murphy.

Swanson, a registered Democrat, is up for election as Genesee County Sheriff this November.
Good! Hat Tip to these Sheriffs and others like them. Well done!

Covid-19 delivers Obama's Death Panels.

NY Post: Obama's "End of life counseling" Death Panels.
In 2009, President Obama said seniors are getting too many procedures and maybe they’re “better off not having the surgery, but taking the painkiller.” Obama’s health guru Ezekiel Emanuel (brother of DEM sleaze bag Rahm Emanuel - Drake) argues the elderly should be a lower priority because “they have already had more life-years.”
The Death Panels, in the form of Covid-19,  just took a little longer than expected:

New plant-based bottles will degrade in a year.

Oh no! We'll need to find a new global pollutant!


Beer and soft drinks could soon be sipped from “all-plant” bottles under new plans to turn sustainably grown crops into plastic in partnership with major beverage makers.

[Avantium] biochemicals company in the Netherlands hopes to kickstart investment in a pioneering project that hopes to make plastics from plant sugars rather than fossil fuels.
[.]
“This plastic has very attractive sustainability credentials because it uses no fossil fuels, and can be recycled – but would also degrade in nature much faster than normal plastics do,” says [Avantium’s chief executive, Tom van Aken].

Avantium’s plant plastic is designed to be resilient enough to contain carbonate drinks. Trials have shown that the plant plastic would decompose in one year using a composter, and a few years longer if left in normal outdoor conditions. But ideally, it should be recycled, said Van Aken.
From "kickstart 'hopes to'" to "finished, completed successful product" is a long, long road.


If the new degradable bottles are successful, will that mean an end to all the ugly park benches made from recycled plastic? Awwwww, that's a shame.

37 Senators that voted to let the FBI seize your internet history without a warrant. The bill failed by one vote.


A key amendment to the USA Freedom Reauthorization Act of 2020 that would have required authorities to obtain a warrant before gaining access to American internet browsing and search history just failed on the Senate floor by a single vote.

The current bill under consideration to do that is called the US FREEDOM Reauthorization Act of 2020 and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has snuck in an amendment that would allow the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Department of Justice (DOJ) to seize internet search and browsing history if they claim it is tied to an active investigation.

Dining Out Mannequin Style.

I'd rather there be empty space, without any artificial props, surrounding me rather than mannequins in a restaurant. Not that I have a mannequin phobia, I don't. I just find this whole idea odd. Besides, they're obviously going to be an attraction for children who'll want to climb and paw all over them. Yeah, that'll help decrease the spreading of anything infectious. 

If this idea of mannequins extends to the bars...well...then...I might end up talking all night thinking mistakenly that someone is really interested in what I'm saying.

Remember when not that long ago nude restaurants were the trendy cosmopolitan adornment of public dining? Now we're eating while wearing a Hazmat suit seated next to mannequins. Good times...Good times...

NY Post: Restaurant will use mannequins to fill seats — and enforce social distancing.

Tiny Fascist David Stewart, HOA PRESIDENT in Edmond, Oklahoma DEMANDS answer to who gave gate code to delivery driver.

There are no bigger Fascists on the planet than those who are presidents of Home Owners Associations (HOA).


Travis Miller was in Edmond, Oklahoma, on Monday to deliver appliances.
He was blocked from leaving gated community of Ashford Hills after delivery.
David Stewart, an HOA president, demanded to know how Miller got inside.
Miller refused to say and demanded Stewart move his car out of the way.
Miller then called police, but it took an hour for Stewart to finally let him leave.
Stewart, 66, is the owner of a gas and oil company based in Oklahoma City.

A black man who works as an appliance and furniture delivery driver uploaded video to social media showing white residents of an upscale, gated community of Oklahoma City block his truck from the exit while demanding to know what he was doing there.

Travis Miller said he had finished making a delivery to a customer who lives in the swanky Ashford Hills area of Edmond, just northeast of Oklahoma City, on Monday when he noticed that he was being prevented from leaving the gated community.

‘I’m trying to leave and I got “super neighbor” over here blocking me in,’ Miller said in cell phone video that he livestreamed on Facebook.

Miller than pointed the camera to show the back of his truck which was obstructed by a white sedan that had been standing just a few feet away on a driveway.

‘This is what I’m dealing with right now,’ Miller says in the video.

He then pans the camera to show a white man in a brownish-red sweater and white baseball cap standing a few feet away.

The man, later identified as David Stewart, has a cell phone pressed against his ear.

‘This is who I’m dealing with,’ Miller says in the video.

Miller then tells Stewart: ‘Napoleon, move out the way.’

When Stewart tells Miller his name, Miller replies: ‘I don’t care what your name is. Get out the way.’

Stewart identifies himself in the video as a homeowners association president. An HOA is an organization whose members comprise a community of people who own residential properties in a specific area.

Stewart demanded to know how Miller managed to get into the gated community.

‘I don’t have to tell you s***!’ Miller said.

After it became apparent that Stewart was refusing to allow Miller to leave, another homeowner joined Stewart.

All we want to know is why you’re in here and who gave you the gate code,’ the man said.

That’s all we need to know.’ (It's none of your business, so GFY. - Drake)

Miller told KFOR-TV that he refused to share his customer’s personal information with Stewart and the other man.

Miller told Stewart that he was calling the police while he waited for him to move his car so that he could leave.

The police did not arrive. Finally, Stewart moved his car an hour later.

‘They must have contacted the customer because the customer came around and he moved out the way,’ Miller said.

On the Facebook livestream, Miller is seen with tears streaming down his face as he is calling police.

‘He said that he called the cops back and let them know that everything was clear but I didn’t want to leave and have it seem like I was fleeing the scene or anything like that,’ Miller said to dispatch.

Miller said that the incident was made worse by the fact that he was in mourning over the passing of two relatives.

'I just know that emotionally, it was hard to maintain restraint, especially when I’m dealing with death in the family, two family members within two days of each other,' Miller said.

'I just did the best I could to not make a bad situation worse.'

DailyMail.com has reached out to Stewart for comment.

According to The Oklahoman, Stewart, 66, is the owner of Raven Resources, an oil and gas company based in Oklahoma City.
Buzzfile, public record.
 

[Travis Miller's] Facebook clip quickly went viral.

Miller, and many people who commented, felt it was racially motivated.

We tried calling [HOA President David] Stewart. The only number we could find for him was disconnected.

We stopped by his house too, and no one came to the door.
[.]
News 4 also tried to reach Stewart on Facebook but he never got back to us
Awwwwww, what's the matter Little Eichmann David Stewart, not answering the phone or your door? Too afraid now to face the press? Where's all your tough and overly-manly courage and defiance that you displayed in the video? Where are you, Tiny Acorn Man? Are you hiding? Are you now embarrassed? Afraid of retribution? Good. You should be.

One comment making its way around social media is that HOA President David Stewart opened up himself and the rest of the HOA to a lawsuit, one they would likely lose. I can't think of a better outcome for Mr. Miller. I hope he is awarded a sizeable amount of money for being unlawfully detained by two individuals who have zero law enforcement authority and their harassment and abusive behavior directed at Mr. Miller.

Another fun fact being reported is David Stewart is - or was - busy contacting Facebook to have Mr. Miller's video removed from its platform. HA! Good luck with that Little Nazi - Miller's video is all over social media.

Some people are incapable of rational thinking before immediately shifting into full gear asshole mode while the cameras are recording. Then, later - they regret it. Gee, that's too bad for HOA Kommandant David Stewart.

Mask Shaming on the rise.


From, "why are you wearing a mask", to, "why aren't you wearing a mask".

Psychology, conflicting rules, misinformation and anxiety fueling bad behavior and violence, experts say[.]
Is that what experts say?

NYC Health Commissioner Dr. Oxiris Barbot to NYPD request for masks, "I don’t give two rats' asses about your cops, I need them for others."


New York City’s health commissioner blew off an urgent NYPD request for 500,000 surgical masks as the coronavirus crisis mounted — telling a high-ranking police official that “I don’t give two rats’ asses about your cops,” The Post has learned.

Dr. Oxiris Barbot made the heartless remark during a brief phone conversation in late March with NYPD Chief of Department Terence Monahan, sources familiar with the matter said Wednesday.

Monahan asked Barbot for 500,000 masks but she said she could only provide 50,000, the sources said.

I don’t give two rats’ asses about your cops,” Barbot said, according to sources.

I need them for others.”

[Mayor Bill] De Blasio named Barbot the city’s health commissioner in 2018[.]
This is the same NYPD Department Chief Terence Monahan who called the dousing with water of NY police officers reprehensible. Poor guy can't get a break for his crew from anyone.

As for Barbot, she was appointed by Kaiser Wilhem...that explains everything.

Alpha Karen Gretchen Whitmer to Michigan: The beatings will continue until morale improves!

Alpha Karen Gretchen Whitmer, DEM Gov; MI.

CNN: Michigan governor says protests 'make it likelier' stay-at-home orders will stay in place longer.
Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer said Wednesday that the protests in the state's capital city against state measures meant to limit the spread of the coronavirus make it more likely that the state will have to keep restrictions in place longer.

Appearing Monday on ABC's "The View," Whitmer, a Democrat, was asked about the pushback against her administration's coronavirus restrictions. There have been multiple protests in the state's capital city of Lansing in the past few weeks, including one late last month that saw protesters -- some of them armed -- entering the state Capitol, screaming at law enforcement officers and not adhering to social distancing guidelines or wearing masks.

While she respects people's right to dissent, Whitmer said, the protesters are putting people at risk.

"The fact of the matter is, these protests -- in a perverse way -- make it likelier that we are going to have to stay in a stay-at-home posture," she said, going on to encourage anyone with a platform to call on people to "do the right thing."

Another protest against the state's stay-at-home restrictions is scheduled for Thursday in Lansing.
Do you hear Frau Whitmer, Michigan? You OBEY her and she won't ground you and put you on Triple Double Secret Double Double Detention Probation. But if you defy her?

I hear the cattle cars she'll be using are solar powered...

Walz extends 30 day "state of emergency".

Star Tribune: Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz loosens pandemic stay-at-home restrictions.
Gov. Tim Walz said Wednesday that he will allow stores to reopen and let Minnesotans leave the house more*, while leaving in place for now restrictions for bars, restaurants, theaters, hair salons and other businesses with in-person services.

The announcement, delivered in a livestreamed address to Minnesotans Wednesday evening, means many small businesses and retailers can open their doors to customers on Monday, as long as they have a plan to keep employees and customers safe with social distancing.

“The stay-at-home order is expiring and the dials are turning, but that doesn’t mean we are carefree and can return to the way things were,” Walz said. “It means we have to stay safe, take care, care for our own health and care for our neighbor.”
[.]
Walz also extended for another 30 days a peacetime state of emergency that was set to expire Wednesday. The emergency powers have enabled him to take sweeping executive action such as the stay-at-home order and closing down schools, bars and restaurants.
* Why, I didn't know that I was required to check with Herr Walz on the number of times I'm allowed to leave the house. I guess I've been breaking quarantine. Meh.

Small businesses, especially in rural and small town Minnesota will continue dying. Walz doesn't care. They're nothing but rocks and cows to him.

Day by day, week by week - just watch - the progression that things will "get a little bit better enough" as we approach the date for the holy grail of Liberal Greed and Politics, The Minnesota State Fair. And Walz grandstanding, declaring how "happy and pleased he is" that the fair isn't canceled due to Covid-19.

But wait, Walz is concerned about all social distancing, isn't he? If Walz is so concerned over the re-opening of schools and businesses as we approach the end of summer/post-Labor Day holiday, why is he so reticent in canceling the Minnesota State Fair right now?

The Ramsey County Fair for 2020 is canceled. It receives a much smaller attendance than the State Fair. But so far, Herr Walz hans't canceled it. Is he willing to accept the responsibility of risking lives to the China Coronavirus by allowing the state fair to occur? What if by canceling the state fair Walz saved just one life? Isnt it worth it, Timmy, to save just one life?

Here's a short clip of Walz's livestream earlier today:
