George Floyd

Friday’s New York Times report by Luke Broadwater covered the continuing drama of the Republican Party’s treatment of Sen. Liz Cheney in “Cheney Joins the Jan. 6 Investigation Committee, to G.O.P.’s ‘Shock.’” Broadwater has twice condemned “far-right” Republicans in Congress for disingenuously claiming that the mob action on Capitol Hill on January 6 was “mostly peaceful.” Such a…

On the one-year anniversary of the murder of George Floyd, the defund the police crowd saw the results of their policy play out Tuesday, as people gathering in the George Floyd Square autonomous zone in Minneapolis were sent scrambling for cover when a gunman opened fire. And while CBS Evening News and NBC Nightly News gave the shooting a combined 33 seconds of air-time (22…

New York Times Patrick Healy, a former political reporter now the paper’s deputy Opinion editor, issued a strange piece as part of a special section: “How Conservatives Think About George Floyd’s Death and BLM.”  Healy found another reason to lecture conservatives about how wrong they are about Black Lives Matter and the rioting and looting that accompanied anti-police protests in the…

So it's not just about the abolition of policing. It's about the abolition of capitalism itself. That was the message on Tiffany Cross's MSNBC show on Saturday. Will Cross applaud when Comcast is nationalized into Comrade? 

It has been two weeks since the conviction of ex-police officer Derek Chauvin for the second- and third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter of George Floyd. The world has moved on. Politicians breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the verdict; the media quickly moved on to its next manipulated data point in favor of the proposition that American police are systemically racist.

CNN this morning staged a surprisingly fair-and-balanced debate on the subject of a Chauvin trial juror attending a Washington DC rally against police brutality and wearing a BLM hat and BLM t-shirt reading "get your knee off our necks." Host John Berman made it a point to turn the discussion to Mitchell's wearing of the hat and T-shirt, and whether he was "honest" about his attendance at the…

Morning Joe mentionsd George Floyd six times, but fails to report the news that one of the jurors at the Derek Chauvin trial had denied participating at any protests against police brutality, whereas he had attended one billed as the 'Commitment March: Get Your Knee Off Our Necks,' and at which several members of the Floyd family spoke. The juror wore to the protest a BLM hat and a T-shirt…

Last week, ex-police officer Derek Chauvin was convicted of second-degree murder, third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter. The evidence on the murder charges was weak; the evidence on manslaughter was significantly stronger. Still, the jury took only 10 hours and zero questions to come to its conclusion: guilty on all counts. In and of itself, the Chauvin case never should have been…

The Derek Chauvin trial may be over, but Hollywood is still going full throttle with anti-police propaganda. The CW’s high school football drama All American is a prime example, as Monday’s episode, “The Bigger Picture,” created a fictional case about a young, black girl, Tamika Pratt, who was supposedly killed by a racist police officer simply for sleeping in her car. This led to an…

In the brilliant novel "The Bonfire of the Vanities," author Tom Wolfe describes what he calls the intense media interest in covering "The Great White Defendant." A review of "Bonfire" explains: "The overarching theme of the book is the search for the great white defendant. The vast majority of defendants in New York City are minorities, arrested for killing another minority. The vast majority…

While the George Floyd murder trial ended in a guilty verdict for Officer Derek Chauvin this week, the firefighters of ABC’s Station 19 just found out about Floyd's death in the April 22 episode, "Get Up, Stand Up." A grief counselor was brought to the fire station to give professional counseling and preach critical race theory to the firefighters.

The online headline of the New York Times story was designed for liberal clicks: “G.O.P. Bills Target Protesters (and Absolve Motorists Who Hit Them): "Republicans responded to a summer of protests by proposing a raft of punitive new measures governing the right to lawfully assemble....Some, like Mr. DeSantis, are labeling them “anti-riot” bills, conflating the right to peaceful…

LeBron James, the star athlete of the L.A. Lakers, used social media to encourage leftists to go after a Columbus, Ohio, police officer on Wednesday.

Almost to a team, this week’s conviction of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin is seen as a mandate to double down on social justice activism. USA Today said the verdict was centuries in the making. Sports Illustrated saw the world breathing a sigh of relief.
