Maxine Waters incendiary remarks incites the BLM crowd in Brooklyn Center Minnesota to accept nothing less than a guilty verdict in the Derek Chauvin case.

Fiery California Rep. Maxine Waters joined hundreds of angry protesters who thronged Brooklyn Center, Minnesota early Sunday, all breaking the 11 p.m. curfew together during a seventh night of protests against the police killing of Daunte Wright.

“We’ve got to stay in the streets, and we’ve got to demand justice,” she urged the crowd, according to one tweeted clip.

“We’re looking for a guilty verdict” in Derek Chauvin’s trial for the police killing of George Floyd, where deliberations will begin next week, she said.

“And if we don’t, we cannot go away,” she added. “We’ve got to get more confrontational.”

Asked about the curfew, she said, “I don’t know what curfew means,” according to another tweeted clip.

“A curfew means that ‘I want y’all to stop talking,'” she said, adding, “I don’t agree with it.”

Waters said she wouldn’t stay out at the protest much longer personally — but she urged everyone else to keep at it.

“I came here for one reason, just to be here, to make sure that I let my thoughts be heard among all of those who have spent so much time on the streets. And so I’m hopeful that the protests will continue,” she said.

Protesters began the night chanting and playing music outside the Brooklyn Center Police Department, apparently live video posted to YouTube showed.

“No good cops in a racist system!” “F–K your curfew!” and “No justice, no peace!” they shouted, amid more colorful slogans.

A day earlier, nearly 100 people were arrested after the crowd tried to tear down a fence around the police station.

Remarks about the incitement are between the 6:15 and the 7:20 marks.

Kati Grabham is feeling emotional.

When we speak in aircraft numbers, and specifically of numbers onboard, we use the term “souls”. How many souls are onboard. Soul - the immaterial essence, animating principle, or actuating cause of an individual life.
We don’t say “Americans” or “refugees” or “foreign nationals”. We say souls. Because to us, souls are what matter. “Souls” denotes humans and discounts all of the other adjectives we like to use to “qualify” people.
My prayers are with the C-17 crew that departed the Kabul Int’l Airport today. They had to make heart wrenching decisions. The aircrew had to taxi past hundreds of souls they couldn’t save. And knew they may have no choice but to run over the ones who would not vacate the tarmac, those running alongside and in front of the plane. The loadmasters had to shut the doors on panicked people - humans desperate for assistance - because their aircraft was overloaded, over weight and out of space. Crew chiefs had to inspect main landing gear wheel wells, hopeful not to find the remains of those who - in a last ditch effort to flee - may have stowed away there only to perish once the gear retracted.
When the crew of Reach 817 mission planned for this, they could not have known the sheer volume of life or death decisions they would have to make on this day. And they will have to live with the physical, mental, moral and psychological trauma of this singular mission forever. But they did more than we could have asked them to, in a situation none of us could have prepared them for, and they did it well.
I am incredibly proud to be a part of an Air Force comprised of ordinary Airmen doing extraordinary feats during unimaginable times. I am praying for this crew - and all the crews just like them - that they have all of the love and support they need today and into the future.
No one should be called on to do what they had to do, but when the call came, they did exactly what needed to be done. And that is all we as Airmen can ever ask of each other.

I wonder if you would be so kind as to do the world a favour & stop altering the English language, it's taken me 64 years to learn it & I'm too old to start all over again.

Device - explosives placed into a container & connected to a mobile phone for the purpose of detonation is called " A BOMB".

Terrorist- someone who makes\places in position\encourages others to do the prior\arranges payment for said bombs is a terrorist, mentally ill people do not plant bombs & to insinuate that they do is imo an insult to all those who are mentally ill.

No Connection to Terrorism - If I visit the shops, pay for my groceries & go home that's no connection to terrorism, if however I go to the shops & stab 8 people whilst shouting Allah, forcing people to run in terror of their lives, that's a terrorist, Someone who plants 2 bombs in rubbish bins with the intention of killing or injuring as many as possible, that's a terrorist.

We are just plain and simply going to have to learn to get along. If your a nationalist, you know that the world is a lot smaller place than it was at one time before technology. At some point, your going to find yourself having dealings with other places in some way shape or form. It would be for more beneficial if those dealings go positively, smoothly, and there is mutual respect in the end whether everyone gets what they want or not.

If your a globalist, you know that not everyone in the world shares your vision of one world, one people. There are those who wish to stay to themselves for whatever reason and whether you agree with it or not, it would be much better to respect the decision and wait until they want to open the door with you if they choose so in the future.

We all can be ourselves and still get along. Having said that, I know that there are places in the world that injustices happen everyday and change would be good but we have learned time and again that you cannot force change on a society if they do not want to change. Best way is to try influence, nothing forceful, just be an example of what it could be like and if people want change bad enough, they will find a way to make it happen.

I personally am a globalist. I think humanity as a whole would benefit greatly if everyone in the world decided to try to get along and help each other. I know that is only a pipe dream though but maybe after WW3 if anyone is left alive, humanity can start over and learn from past mistakes.

Ever since I was a child, I wanted to live on an island, but if I must believe all these rumors about global warming, all islands will soon be joining Atlantis at the bottom of the ocean. Maybe I should buy a house on a hill next to the coastline. If those guys are right, I shall be on an island soon enough.

But I will require a sort of a time frame; there will be no point in dieing the day after my hill became an island. There are so many things to consider. I will want to build a jetty at the right spot for when the water finally arrives. Who knows, I may win the lotto before then and may need a place to park my yacht.

And maybe a bridge to connect my island to the mainland. It will be much easier to build it before the water arrives, but I will need to know the eventual level of the sea. It is ok if the people laugh at me. I read about a fellow who build a massive boat on dry ground, very far from any significant body of water. The people laughed at him, but his boat sailed.

I wonder how the rising oceans will affect the climate. I want to live on a tropical island, not an arctic wasteland. Eish, so many ifs and buts, maybe I must scrap the whole idea.


Stay loose, it is weekend!!

Another terror attack in my country, bomb gone off at a concert in Manchester and several people killed, whoever responsible, murdering, sick, nut religious bastards!!!

What was your nic name everyone called you?...........................................................

Near the end of Barack Obama’s tenure in the White House, he openly fantasized during an interview about an unconstitutional and illegal way of effectively remaining in office for a third term through “an an arrangement where I had a stand-in or front-man or front-woman and they had an earpiece in and I was just in my basement in my sweats looking through the stuff and I could sort of deliver the lines.”

Obama said, “I used to say if I can make an arrangement where I had a stand-in or front-man or front-woman and they had an earpiece in and I was just in my basement in my sweats looking through the stuff and I could sort of deliver the lines while someone was doing all the talking and ceremony, I’d be fine with that because I found the work fascinating.”

Former Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard argues this exact scenario is playing out right before our eyes between Obama and his former vice president and now president, Joe Biden.

Just days before the Biden administration announced the creation of a “Disinformation Governance Board,” Obama called for increased oversight of misinformation across Big Tech media platforms while speaking at the Stanford Cyber Policy Center.

“Biden is just a front man,” Gabbard said. “Obama, April 21: social media censors ‘don’t go far enough,’ so the government needs to step in to do the job. Six days later, Homeland Security rolls out the ‘Ministry of Truth’ (aka Disinformation Governance Board).” Take a look:

Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me. Or can it? Well, yes it can but only if you give it the power to do so.

During the Anglo-Boer War (aka The South-African War), the British called the white Afrikaans-speaking people Boers (farmers). It was meant to be a derogatory name but we took pride in being called that. By doing so, we broke the power of the word. The colored population took it over and we are still called Boers today. Only, now it applies to all white people. It does not bother us because we are proud of what we are. The word has no power and has no negative connotations to us.

However, if we call them some name, they call it hate speech or racist remarks. They are offended and it has become habit to run to a court to sue. When you are offended by a word or when legislation and/or censorship are introduced to prevent the use of a word, you give it power. Few things can boost the sales of a book more that having it banned in some country. Then everybody wants to read it.

A name given to your race, color, or religion can only hurt you if you feel inferior about being what you are. Such a name does not describe or defame your character. It is just a name given to your clan that cannot hurt you until you give it the power to hurt. Only you can render the word powerless. Forget about the origins and earlier purpose of the word. It describes where you come from. Be proud of what you are, make it yours, and break its power.

So, the next time somebody calls you a Boer, or a Kaffir, Chink, Spic, ni**ger, Charra or whatever, do what I do. I turn around, give him my best smile and say: “Yes, I’m a Boer and I’m proud of it but why does it bother you if I’m a Boer? Maybe you want to be a Boer too? Now what shall I call you to make you feel proud as well?”

It normally leaves them speechless.


Have a good day out there, will you?

Commentator Mark Levin lashed out against the Democrats in the aftermath of special counsel Robert Mueller submitting his final report to the Justice Department.

During his Fox News show Sunday, the nationally syndicated radio host blamed former President Barack Obama's government for seeding a Russian collusion frenzy and called for an investigation into their role in peddling the narrative.

"The Democratic Party is not a pro-America party. They act like a third-world party because they want to destroy this presidency," Levin said. "It is time to focus on the Democrats in the House. It is time to focus on the media, the Hillary campaign, the DNC, Barack Obama — this was Barack Obama’s government that did all this when the Russians were interfering in our election."

"They put spies in campaign, they abused the FISA court system. This country doesn't belong to Adam Schiff, and [House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold] Nadler and [House Speaker Nancy] Pelosi."

Following Attorney General Bill Barr's submitting a four-page letter to Congress summarizing Mueller's findings, including finding no evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, Levin said Democrats owe Trump an apology for repeated allegations, including House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif. A growing number of Republicans have called on Schiff to step down from his role as chairman.

Barr sent a letter to the leaders of the Senate and House Judiciary Committees on Sunday briefing them of the “principal conclusions” in special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation.

The letter, which is four pages long, said Mueller found no evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia. Mueller also declined to determine whether Trump obstructed justice, and Barr said he and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein concluded there was insufficient evidence to show the president committed a crime.

Democrats are now calling on the Justice Department to release the full Mueller report and underlying documents. Some Republicans, including House Intelligence Committee ranking member Devin Nunes, have gone further, pushing for the release of the Mueller scope memo and documents related to FISA warrants.
