Ghislaine Maxwell and Kevin Spacey sit on the British Royal thrones

These are not protests. These are criminal acts of a lawless mob. This must be stopped.
For the first time in modern history, the presidential election will be a choice between a party that loves America and a party that hates America.
Is this an American City or a war zone? Where is the woke press? Where are the woke Democrats? Where is the national outrage?
Doesn’t fit the preferred narrative of white police killing black criminal “heroes,” so not really news.
The last Republican mayor of Chicago was William Hale Thompson who left office in 1931.
Democrats control all the elected positions of power from bottom to top and have done so for decades.
Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms:
“Enough is enough. It’s over. We’re clearing out the rioters.”
“They say Black Lives Matter. You killed one of your own this time. You killed a child.”

“…A stretch of DNA linked to Covid-19 was passed down from Neanderthals 60,000 years ago, according to a new study.
Scientists don’t yet know why this particular segment increases the risk of severe illness from the coronavirus. But the new findings, which were posted online on Friday and have not yet been published in a scientific journal, show how some clues to modern health stem from ancient history.
“This interbreeding effect that happened 60,000 years ago is still having an impact today,” said Joshua Akey, a geneticist at Princeton University who was not involved in the new study.
This piece of the genome, which spans six genes on Chromosome 3, has had a puzzling journey through human history, the study found. The variant is now common in Bangladesh, where 63 percent of people carry at least one copy. Across all of South Asia, almost one-third of people have inherited the segment.
Elsewhere, however, the segment is far less common. Only 8 percent of Europeans carry it, and just 4 percent have it in East Asia. It is almost completely absent in Africa.
It’s not clear what evolutionary pattern produced this distribution over the past 60,000 years. “That’s the $10,000 question,” said Hugo Zeberg, a geneticist at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden who was one of the authors of the new study…”
I posted a couple days ago about the need to withhold judgement on Ghislaine Maxwell until more of the facts become apparent. I standby that. This Tweet by Wretchard is another way to view the Epstein/Maxwell thing. I think Wretchard is correct. Elite western society is a hollow shell, a fraud. It is inhabited by seemingly successful people who inside are narcissistic and corrupt. Their left ideology fails them in the critical moment and they drift into self-hatred. They project that hatred on the country, or anybody nearby. I reject the elite left.
J.R. Dunn:
“…The story was that one day, late in the Civil War, an extremely tall, extremely thin man appeared on the road passing the farm or plantation to which they were bonded. He was bearded, all dressed in black, and wore a tall stovepipe hat that accentuated his height.
The slaves came together to watch the man pass. Sometimes, one of them would offer him a dipper of water from a well, which he would drink, and then touch his hat in thanks before going on his way without a word. The slaves would watch him walk on until he finally vanished.
That’s right. In the midst of the most vicious war this country ever fought, smack in the heart of enemy territory, thousands of people saw Abraham Lincoln passing by.
What possible explanation is there for this? These people weren’t lying. They weren’t telling tall tales. Some of them swore they saw him personally, touched his frock coat as he passed them. And these people, ancient in years and facing death, truly believed what they were saying.
In fact, there is no rational explanation. It goes far deeper than logic, to the very basis of the human spirit. It comes from the yearning for contact with the saintly, for an engagement with the transcendental. The slaves knew that a titanic conflict was taking place that would affect their fates in total, and about which they could do little. They doubtlessly worried, and brooded, and wondered, very likely to the point of the unbearable. And then one day, the Emancipator himself appeared on their country road, to relieve their fears by his very presence, to brush them with greatness, and leave them forever changed.
The left can do their worst. They can destroy and vandalize. They can frighten the timid gnomes of Boston into taking down a statue honoring the Emancipation, one of this country’s highest moments. They can dynamite Mount Rushmore (as, no doubt, some maniac is even now planning to do).
But they can’t erase that vision, or close that road, or halt the Man in the Tall Hat from his long journey, as he beckons us to follow him to points unknown, to futures unconceived, and to places that we have yet to build…”
On the night of 2–3 July, 2020, hundreds of antifa militants attacked the federal courthouse in downtown Portland in the name of Black Lives Matter. They attacked responding police officers with glass bottles, rocks, a knife and more. After breaking the building’s glass doors, they launched mortars inside, starting a fire. This video is the morning after.
This is what’s left of the Portland elk fountain after antifa militants set it on fire in the name of Black Lives Matter. The flames severely damaged the base of the statue, causing the city to remove the elk over fears it could topple over and injure someone. No suspects have been identified despite the vandalism occurring within sight of police for hours.
Hat tip to Kane
That looks like Nathan Bedford Forrest to me. Joe does have history with KKK Democrats.
