Rioters burn St. John's Episcopal Church in Lafayette Square, near the White House.  Every president since James Madison has attended services there.

Given that the priests there likely are bleeding heart liberals, the irony is rich.

Boy, those white supremacists infiltrators sure were busy last night here in DC.  And based on what I was seeing on live news, they're truly masters of disguise, too; I mean, Mission Impossible-level stuff.

Seems now the damage was not as bad as initially reported, fortunately.


It is very, very disturbing that this sort of mayhem could occur this close to the damn White House, and not be instantly stamped down.  

On a brighter note, the AFL-CIO building in that same area was also set on fire; this not long after that organization had tweeted out their support for the "protesters".  Karma, baby.

Can you share some more details? I've been studiously avoiding the news because I can't take all this insanity on top of my own medical problems. Thankfully, I was allowed back in the building at work so I can make sure I can access all the work computers from home. I've been hampered because a few machines weren't set up right.

You can of course find a fuller account online, but basically; they lite fires near the White House (street trash fires plus the church, AFL CIO office building, some others); looted stores in Georgetown and Friendship Heights; set cars on fire near Farragut Square; and other, similar crap. 

Four days ago, I actually cared about what happened to George Floyd.  Now, that's way down my list of concerns.  I want this sh*t stopped, NOW, with live fire if necessary.

The mob violence is pre-planned and logistically supported.

Pre-placed supplies, rioters with using head sets directing some of the action.

The left is all in on a revolution.

Time to stop treating it as spontaneous protests and riots.

This is violent insurrection.

WA Tyrant Stupid and Lazy, attacks Trump over declaring ANTIFA as a terrorist group, thinks ANTIFA is a person.

“Yeah, I’ve not been briefed on that issue at all, so I’ll reserve any statements until we hear from our law enforcement community about this,” Inslee told me. “I will say this. We could certainly use a little more leadership from the White House to try to help this nation heal and move forward rather than looking for partisan advantage. I hope that will be the case.”

In other words, Inslee condemned Trump as partisan for criticizing the very group believed to be responsible for turning peaceful demonstrations into destructive riots. Isn’t that what we should be doing? I thought we all backed the protests but condemned the riots.

Antifa is basically Kaiser Soze. It's greatest trick is convincing the world it doesn't exist.

Except of course that they, themselves, don’t try to convince anyone of any such thing. It is the “progressive“ Chardonnay Sipping class who convinced themselves of that “fact“.

First, I want to apologize for autocorrect changing its to it's.

Among themselves, they acknowledge its existence,  but they're very happy to let useful idiots pretend it's not organized. In any case, I think the events of the past week will expose that fiction.

I'm sure the rioters have not yet been fired on because the National Guard is worried about its carbine footprint.

In non-riot news, the artist Christo died.

That's a wrap.

You have to admire someone who can fabricate an artistic career out of whole cloth.

It will be his last great work.  If they do a Christo museum, they can place him on display there---like Lenin in Red Square---and his final oeuvre will become a Shroud of Tourin'.

Protesters spell out "love" with burning buildings.

George Floyd's brother condemns the violence: "My brother was all about peace".  


Well, except for the whole armed home invasion in which he stuck a gun in woman's stomach thing.

Queen Gretchen is lifting her house arrest order next week, but you still can't get a haircut. Oddly, her hair looks very nice.

Trump just announced a bunch of measures, including, apparently, deployment of “troops“ to DC to stop the riots.

Wow.  And now Trump has left the White House, on foot, and walked through Lafayette Park and survey the damaged St. John's church.  Press is freaking out.  He's holding up a Bible in front of the church.
