Fresh signs of NYC spiraling out of control
[NYPOST] "Complete lawlessness," one cop termed the incident in Harlem in the early hours Sunday — and it’s fast becoming an apt description of much of the city.Officers responded to an electronic ShotSpotter alert just before 4 a.m., and discovered a block party still raging. Worse, the crowd attacked the police, with members screaming obscenities as they hurled bottles and other debris at the cruisers.

The NYPD showed tremendous restraint, perhaps too much — retreating vans down Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Boulevard and avoiding arrests or injuries as it dispersed the mob over several hours. How many innocents were at risk in the interim? And how are police to reverse the surge in shootings when they meet this kind of reception?

Eleven New Yorkers were shot across 12 hours that night, with several of the victims refusing to cooperate in any investigation. And that doesn’t include the couple bumped off with an AR-15-style rifle Saturday afternoon on an East New York stoop.

That’s over 80 people shot in a week, with at least six fatalities.

Other signs of disorder are more mundane, like the assaults on the barricades that close off roads under Mayor Comrade Bill de Blasio
...cryptocommie mayor of New York and for some reason a Dem candidate for president in 2020. Corrupt and incompetent, his qualifications for office seem to consist of being married to a black woman, with whom he honeymooned in Cuba. He has a preppy-looking son named Dante, whose Divine Comedy involved getting his back hair up when a police car drove past him slowly. New Yorkers voted for him, so they deserve him...
’s "open streets" effort. Drivers blowing through those barriers are plainly putting innocents at risk while showing utter contempt for the law.

As are the people shooting off fireworks at all hours of the night, with cops evidently ordered not to interfere.

Indeed, "don’t interfere" seems the slogan for every city authority these days. Police took troubled vagrant Matthew Mishefski to Mt. Sinai Hospital on Saturday . . . after he started running around naked in Washington Square Park and got into a fight with two other men.

But he’d been camped out in the fenced-off fountain for a month, amassing a living-room worth of furniture. Is it really a coincidence that he was finally hauled in only after he made the front page of The Post? Where were ThriveNYC and all the other city mental-health programs all those weeks?

This is a guy who answers only when addressed as "Jesus Christ Lord Saviour," yet the system fails to protect him or the public with mandatory treatment. Indeed, he was discharged Sunday morning, returned to the park, stripped again and got hauled back to Mt. Sinai. He may be out again by the time you read this.

It's vitamin D deficiency that causes high rates of CV19 in African-Americans.

#2  Throw in a dash of sickle cell anemia, and, vóilà, more blatant & obvious "systemic racism". /sarc

#3  It has long been my understanding that the majority of Americans are well below levels considered necessary for optimal health. Seems our fast food world lacks many things our bodies need. I suspect long term dietary imbalances are majorly contributing to the behavior and health issues of the day.

Before ‘takedown' of General Flynn, he was planning to audit John Brennan for running billions ‘off the books'
[lifezette.com] Sidney Powell, attorney for retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, said her client, in his duties as the White House national security adviser, was prepared to “audit” the U.S. intelligence community.

That, according to the former federal prosecutor, is partly why federal agents “set up” Flynn.

Powell, who took over Flynn’s defense last summer, told the “Vickie McKenna Show” on 1310 WIBA Madison that her client was “totally set up” because he threatened to expose wrongdoing by top intelligence officials in the Obama administration.

#1  Gee, and I thought the DNI had their own IG and audit teams.

#2  Can't investigate Brennan without investigating Soetoro and the Clinton's. We simply cannot have that.

#3  but don’t expect Barack Obama or Joe Biden to get in trouble.

If what happened to candidate and then Potus Trump has never happened in the history of the country, shouldn't this unique situation justify the indictment of these two?
Posted by: JohnQC || 06/29/2020 9:04 Comments || Top||

#4  Why didn't Flynn say that on day 1?
Was there a gag order? Or would it have prejudiced his case?
Posted by: rjschwarz || 06/29/2020 11:47 Comments || Top||

#5  Has Sullivan dismisses the case as directed by the Appeals Court or are we going to see him drag this political persecution along with a time consuming en band appeal

There hasn’t been a federal judge impeached since AlCee Hastings, and Sullivan knows the DC House of Representatives would never try him so what deters this partisan hack in black from dragging this out and keeping Flynn from really talking?

#6  ...DNC House of Representatives

#7  IIUC, Flynn (like Roger Stone) had a gag order
Posted by: Frank G || 06/29/2020 12:57 Comments || Top||

#8  Is this really news?

It's been common knowledge that Flynn was planning an audit almost since the beginning of this story.

The real story will be if anything is done about any of this.

Otherwise, this is just "throw the rubes some raw meat to keep 'em clicking."

#9  Could it be that that Soros (& his outfit) isn't really some nefarious puppet master but rather the deep state's sock puppet and money laundering operator?

Report: Tulsa Arena Management Sabotaged Trump Rally Attendance
[GatewayPundit] What makes the allegation of an effort to drive down attendance plausible is the celebratory tweet the night of the rally by Jay Marciano, head of the management company for the BOK Center, AEG–part of ASM Global, on the low recorded attendance, “Lying Don’s show in Tulsa is a big fat STIFF! There are only 6624 people in the arena. So much for “There were requests for 1 million.” Total lies. Are we surprised??

#1  If I see a lawsuit, I'll consider believing it. Otherwise, they're OK with it.
Posted by: gorb || 06/29/2020 2:46 Comments || Top||

#2  Where's admission of sabotage?
Posted by: g(r)omgoru || 06/29/2020 3:06 Comments || Top||

#3  Nobody is going to admit sabotage, but if you mean the claim -

The other allegations of sabotage made by the attendee are that BOK Center temperature screeners were pulled off the job hours early, thereby making it impossible for rally attendees to get the green wristbands needed to advance to the Secret Service metal detectors for entry into the arena And -

The Washington Post reported Saturday that the BOK Center purchased 12,000 stickers to block off seats which would have brought attendance to around 7,000 in the 19,199 seat venue–close to what the head of AEG gloat-tweeted the night of the rally. So he did admit to 'victory'.

#4  It wouldn't surprise me if this were true in view of all the other shenanigan's that have been pulled by the Dems and fellow travelers.
Posted by: JohnQC || 06/29/2020 9:11 Comments || Top||

#5  Why wait a week to come forward?
Posted by: rjschwarz || 06/29/2020 11:53 Comments || Top||

#6  There are only 6624 people in the arena.

Could Biden ever draw that many people to one of his rallies?
Posted by: Abu Uluque || 06/29/2020 12:03 Comments || Top||

#7  Easily. He could draw an even larger crowd of dead voters.
Posted by: gorb || 06/29/2020 15:43 Comments || Top||

#8  There are only 6624 people in the arena.

So for every seat occupied with an original 6ft spread there might have been 24,000?

What size was the SRO mass outside?

De Blasio under siege as ‘Occupy City Hall’ protesters blackmail mayor with radical demands
[BIZPACREVIEW] It’s Occupy Wall Street 2.0 as hundreds of protesters have camped out in front of nearby New York City Hall for five consecutive days so far as they demand massive cuts in the police budget which would result in a huge impact on public safety. Occupy City Hall is occurring, however, as the Big Apple is already experiencing its worst outbreak of gun violence in nearly 25 years.Woke protesters, who claim they aren’t going anywhere until their stipulations are met, want Democrat Mayor Comrade Bill de Blasio
...cryptocommie mayor of New York and for some reason a Dem candidate for president in 2020. Corrupt and incompetent, his qualifications for office seem to consist of being married to a black woman, with whom he honeymooned in Cuba. He has a preppy-looking son named Dante, whose Divine Comedy involved getting his back hair up when a police car drove past him slowly. New Yorkers voted for him, so they deserve him...
and the far-left city council to downsize police funding by at least $1 billion.

To some degree, they will probably get what they want.
