Wednesday News Roundup: Texans Can Take Care of Texans; The Rest of the Country Needs Help

In case you’re wondering why Texas Governor Greg Abbott, in a press conference yesterday with the police chiefs and mayors of Fort Worth and Dallas, said that he would not be asking for military assistance from the federal government to quell any out-of-control demonstrations in our state, all you need to see is this photo taken last night in the halls of the Texas Capitol Building by Glenn DeShields:

Those are Texas Department of Public Safety troopers, sleeping on the marble floors. I have walked those floors many times. They are 100% firm – they don’t give an inch, just like the officers getting a few moments of rest on them.

“So we will not be asking the United States military to come into the state of Texas because we know that Texans can take care of Texans. We have tremendous police forces in Dallas, in Fort Worth, in the surrounding suburbs across the entire state. We have an abundance of resources that are being provided by the Texas Department of Public safety,” said Abbott.

God Bless Texas.

Why doesn’t this Black life matter? – Dave Dorn, a retired captain of the St. Louis Metro Police Department, was murdered by thugs who were looting a pawn shop where he was working security on Tuesday. Mr. Dorn happened to be a Black man, as were the vicious thugs who killed him.

Because Captain Dorn was killed by black men, the national news media is essentially ignoring this story. A web search indicates that only ABC News bothered to file even an online story about this senseless killing, and it was reported in the context of several police killings and injuries that happened on Tuesday, with this headline: “Small-town police chief killed as officers in 3 cities wounded during violence at George Floyd protests.”

To make the story even more demeaning to Captain Floyd’s memory, it does not even mention the fact that he was a Black man. I kid you not. Read it for yourself.

Our news media is an existential threat to our country.

Here’s your Ironic Story of the Day. – Check out this tweet issued by the Associated Press on Tuesday:

The Associated Press ✔ @AP Joe Biden is vowing to address institutional racism in his first 100 days in office if he’s elected, as he seeks to elevate his voice in the exploding national debate over racism and police brutality.http://apne.ws/T90x8MK

Biden meets with black leaders at local church amid unrest WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) — Joe Biden vowed to address “institutional racism” in his first 100 days in office, if elected, as he met with community leaders at a predominantly African American church...

apnews.com 3,463 8:14 PM - Jun 1, 2020 Twitter Ads info and privacy 3,480 people are talking about this Just a reminder that Joe Biden has already spent 16,089 days of his life in public office. In all of that time, his main contribution to addressing “institutional racism” was to co-author the 1993 crime bill that… wait for it … targeted Black men.

But he’s now the Democrat Party’s Great White Hope for solving all the problems faced by America’s Black community. If you’re Black and you fall for this, you truly do get what you deserve. Stop this madness.

Speaking of corrupt news media… – The Secret Service guard station that sits just outside the White House grounds was burned last night by the rioters in Washington DC:

Zach @zhamiltoe Rioters have lit the secret service guard shack on fire RIGHT OUTSIDE the White House. This is getting out of hand. 40 secret service agents are injured. #Riot2020

Embedded video 282 2:28 AM - Jun 1, 2020 Twitter Ads info and privacy 151 people are talking about this A web search shows not a single story on this incident from our national news media. NOT ONE.

But hey, that’s not fake news, so… – One story that the entire national media focused on Tuesday is – predictably – completely fake. It is the story still being pushed this morning that the federal Park Police, in clearing the path for President Trump and his entourage to make the walk from the White House to St. John’s Church on Monday afternoon, used “tear gas and rubber bullets” to intimidate the violent rioters who have caused so much damage and injured at least 60 Secret Service and other law enforcement personnel.

I watched it all happen live, and it was very clear that none of that happened. The Park Police issued a statement Tuesday clarifying what actually did happen:

“At approximately 6:33 pm, violent protestors on H Street NW began throwing projectiles including bricks, frozen water bottles and caustic liquids,” the USPP said in a statement. “The protestors also climbed onto a historic building at the north end of Lafayette Park that was destroyed by arson days prior. Intelligence had revealed calls for violence against the police, and officers found caches of glass bottles, baseball bats and metal poles hidden along the street.

“As many of the protestors became more combative, continued to throw projectiles, and attempted to grab officers’ weapons, officers then employed the use of smoke canisters and pepper balls when protestors did scatter from the area.”

Reporters from NBC and the Washington Post continue to spread their fiction this morning. Because they are corrupt, fake-news-promoting enemies of the people. That’s what they are.

For those of you still holding out hope that Salt Lake City U.S. Attorney John Huber might still produce some shocking indictments of Obamagate bad actors, the President of the United States would like to disabuse you of that silly notion:

Donald J. Trump ✔ @realDonaldTrump Undercover Huber is a great spoof, funny, but at the same time sad, because the real @JohnWHuber did absolutely NOTHING. He was a garbage disposal unit for important documents & then, tap, tap, tap, just drag it along & run out of time. A.G. Jeff Sessions was played like a drum!

11.6K 5:46 AM - Jun 3, 2020 Twitter Ads info and privacy 4,722 people are talking about this Remember, Huber was supposedly appointed by former AG Jeff Sessions to investigate the Obama FBI’s fake investigation of the Clinton email scandal way back in late 2017. He has to date produced nothing because that’s really what Sessions appointed him to do.

Now do you understand why President Trump detests Mr. Sessions, and supports his opponent in the upcoming runoff election, Tommy Tubberville? It really isn’t complicated.

Reminder: None of this rioting ever really was about George Floyd. – Rioters in Boston last night defaced a monument called “Glory.” The monument depicts heroic Union solders during the U.S. Civil War.

The solders all have one thing in common: They’re Black. They’re the members of the 54th Regiment who became the first Black soldiers to fight in the Civil War.

You could never make this stuff up.

That is all.

Texas can’t be all that...Texans been steadily flooding into southern Missouri for the last couple of years. I thought Texas was some kind of ‘heaven on earth’ (especially if you ask someone from Texas) so what gives? I’ve been meaning to ask for a while now.

Sessions was a huge mistake. I’m not sure why Trump kept him on for so long.

Our news media is an existential threat to our country.

In 1992, I observed how the media got a reprobate named Bill Clinton into the White House. I have been saying ever since then the media is the biggest threat to the survival of this constitutional republic. (It wasn't just me drawing that conclusion, just not enough of us. I still recall around then Rush Limbaugh was advising his audience not to whine about the media's role in the nation's leftward movement.)

Only in the last few years has it finally become apparent to a large swath of American society this is true, but the Pandora's box is open. Seriously, it may be too late to reverse course. We will know more five months from today if the nation survives as the founders intended.

Missouri used to be the quintessential battleground state, but now it is a solid RED state. Could the influx of Texans be the reason why?

Jealousy is a terrible thing to witness!!!!

[gogeo]

So...with everything going on, keeping up is a full time task.

Are you allowed to have a life?

[thescourged1]

I cannot say for sure. The bottom half of MO has been the reddest of red for some time.

[Dan in Wichita]

No doubt a great place to live!

I think Gov Abbott was silently referencing the old adage:
“One riot, one Ranger”... LOL
