A Morning Consult poll taken May31-June 1, found that 58 percent of Americans support using the military to help local police in tamping down the violence in cities. Just 30 percent oppose using the troops.

That’s a pretty healthy majority. Support for using the military as an adjunct to the police is about as partisan as any other issue.

Newsweek:

Furthermore, 33 percent (one-third) of respondents said they “strongly” support sending in the military, while an additional 25 percent (one-quarter) said they “somewhat” support the move. Only 19 percent of voters “strongly” opposed deploying the military, while 11 percent “somewhat” opposed it. The survey’s margin of error was plus or minus 2 percentage points.

Republicans were more likely to support the proposal, with 77 percent in favor of sending in military troops. Among Democrats, 48 percent said they’d support deploying troops to cities rocked by protests. And 52 percent of independents also backed such action.

Even a healthy percentage of liberals support using the troops.

Forbes:

The proposition was more popular among older voters, whites and conservatives, with 75% of self-identified conservatives, 68% of voters over the age of 65 and 60% of white voters saying they’d either strongly support or somewhat support sending in the military.

But the poll showed a large chunk of voters usually associated with the Democratic Party also are open to deploying troops, with 43% of voters under 34, 40% of self-identified “liberals” and 37% of African-Americans saying they’d support sending in the military to help police.

Trump has gotten a lot of heat for saying that if governors and mayors can’t restore order he would send in the troops. And this Reuters poll would seem to confirm that the people don’t like the way he’s handling the crisis.

The survey conducted on Monday and Tuesday found 64% of American adults were “sympathetic to people who are out protesting right now,” while 27% said they were not and 9% were unsure.

The poll underscored the political risks for Trump, who has adopted a hardline approach to the protests and threatened to deploy the U.S. military to quell violent dissent. The Republican president faces Democrat Joe Biden in November’s election.

More than 55% of Americans said they disapproved of Trump’s handling of the protests, including 40% who “strongly” disapproved, while just one-third said they approved – lower than his overall job approval of 39%, the poll showed.

Trump’s “handling” of the protests includes a lot of jawboning but not much action. Indeed, there’s not much he can do as president except urge mayors and governors to do their job.

But when specifics are added to the equation, people instinctively side with the president wanting to bring order to the chaos.

How this plays out politically will be interesting to see. Do people want someone being portrayed as strong and decisive? Or do they want a president portrayed as “feeling your pain”? It may end up being the question that decides the election.

In broad daylight on Monday, in Fairfield, a city of over 100,000 in the San Francisco Bay Area, morally righteous social justice warriors righted society’s wrongs by driving a forklift through the front of a Best Buy, so as to liberate the historically oppressed merchandise within.

Take that, systemic racism!

Where were the police, you ask? Probably busy taking a knee.

Liberalism has always been about looting. In end-stage liberalism, the parasites stop waiting for Big Government to do the looting for them.

In a burning apartment in Lennestadt ( North Rhine-Westphalia ) the fire brigade found a dead boy (3) in early May. The father (33) was soon suspected of having killed his son. Investigators are now assuming that the murder was insidious.

According to current findings, the father is said to have choked or strangled the child, said Rainer Hoppmann of the Siegen public prosecutor’s office on Wednesday. It was unclear whether these injuries had already been fatal. The newspaper “Westfalenpost” had reported earlier.

He is said to have laid the severely injured child on a mattress in a storage room and set the mattress on fire. He had presumably used accelerants in the process. Investigators do not assume that the child was still conscious.

The child’s father and mother had separated more than a year ago, Hoppmann said. Since then, with the mother’s consent, the infant had already made several short visits to the Moroccan-born man.

After he had started the fire in his apartment, he had jumped out of the window – presumably to kill himself. Dangerously injured, emergency services found him outside the house. The man is reportedly still in the prison hospital.

A number of racist remarks directed at white people have emerged from videos filmed during the George Floyd riots that have erupted across the United States, raising concerns that whites may be a target of a minority of protestors.

The racist remarks are only a fraction of the controversial news that has arisen during riots that have led to nearly 10,000 arrests, rioting in 130 U.S. cities, and police attacked and even murdered, but they underline the racial discord present in the U.S.

One video uploaded to Twitter by independent journalists captures the audio of someone shouting, “Shoot the white folks“ during riots in Minneapolis and many other cities continue.

The video shows a group of men driving in a car as fires surrounded them in Minneapolis.

In another video, a group of young Hispanic men are interviewed in the midst of the riots in Minneapolis. One responds, “F**k the police, we f**kin’ Mexican as f**k.

Another protestor then says, “F**k white people bro, they bad as f**k, bro.”

Following riots that first broke in Minneapolis following the death of George Floyd after Officer Derek Chauvin pinned Floyd’s neck down with his knee, rioters first struck predominately poorer black neighborhoods in Minneapolis, but quickly spread to wealthier neighborhoods and multiple cities across the country.

Protests in New York saw Macy’s 5th Avenue Flagship store looted along with Nike shops, Aldo, and many others.

In Buffalo, New York, two police officers were struck by an SUV, with video showing the vehicle slamming officers while they were in the process of tackling and handcuffing a suspect. Another NYPD sergeant was also run over by a vehicle in the Bronx after he responded to mass looting taking place. He is in serious but stable condition. Footage of the attack was released by the NYPD in the hope that suspects could be apprehended.

George Floyd-related riots also took place in Philadelphia, where apocalyptic scenes were recorded during daylight hours showing mass looting take place in multiple locations in downtown Philadelphia, including an Apple Store, Wells Fargo, Vans, and Urban Outfitters.

In footage that was seen over 34 million times, a white man in Dallas was brutally attacked by a majority black crowd of youths, with one throwing a large stone at the man’s head. He is currently in critical care and was reportedly defending his business with a sword when he was attacked.

In Atlanta, Georgia, mass looting took place across the city. Footage from the high-end Phipps Plaza saw looters breaking into Gucci and others stores and stealing goods.

In Portland, Oregon, independent journalist Andy Ngo has also documented riots in the city, including a Chase Bank being lit on fire.

Ngo also posted brutal attack on a man in a wheelchair during protests in downtown Portland.

Other video demonstrates that even those who support protests have become targets of rioters. In the video, a man gives a thumbs up to the protesters and then expresses shock when they throw a brick through his window moments later. The occupants of the home scream, “We’re on your side,” to the protesters on the street who then respond by hurling another brick through their window.

President Donald Trump recently summoned the National Guard and called on the governors to take a tougher approach towards the demonstrators in order to take back control.

German security services have warned that far-left Antifa extremists have begun infiltrating climate change groups to gain legitimacy and spread their anti-state anarchist ideology.

Germany’s Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV) and other agencies have claimed that there has been evidence of left-wing extremists attempting to radicalise more moderate climate change groups. One such movement is Fridays for Future, spearheaded by Swedish teen activist Greta Thunberg.

Last October, the BfV labelled the group Ende Gelände (End of the Land) as belonging to the far-left extremist scene, with Berlin’s head of the Office for the Protection of the Constitution, Michael Fischer, stating the group was “agitating against our political system in the Federal Republic”, Die Welt reported on Tuesday.

The group is said to advocate for “system change” and the hashtag “System change, not climate change” was supported by Fridays for Future on German social media.

Ende Gelände has been noted for their protests against open-pit lignite (brown coal) mines across Germany including in Hambach in 2018 where a security agency report claims the activists engaged in violence towards police and trespassing in mines.

While some politicians have criticised the security agencies for labelling the group as extremists, the German police union welcomed the move, saying: “Of course, a distinction is made between peaceful and non-peaceful or violent supporters. Conversely, this also means that the ‘peaceful’ also have to actively distance themselves from the ‘violent’ and separate.”

The report is not the first time far-left extremism has been associated with climate activism. In July of last year, Greta Thunberg herself was pictured wearing an Antifa T-shirt.

She later apologised, saying: “Yesterday I posted a photo wearing a borrowed T-shirt that says I’m against fascism. That T-shirt can apparently to some be linked to a violent movement. I don’t support any form of violence and to avoid misunderstandings I’ve deleted the post. And of course I am against fascism.”

A Dutch chief rabbi joined the chorus of criticism aimed at Amsterdam’s mayor, who allowed thousands to gather at a protest over the police killing of George Floyd without enforcing social distancing protocols.

Writing in a column on Jonet.nl, Binyomin Jacobs argued that social distancing rules are not being enforced fairly — since the country’s Holocaust commemoration events were not held as normal on May 4 and Dutch houses of worship are still closed.

Furthermore, Binyomin Jacobs cited the Jewish faith’s principle of preserving life, saying that Mayor Femke Halsema ignored that in allowing the rally to happen during a time when catching the coronavirus is still a risk.

“Jewish law is clear: When lives are threatened, no risk is taken,” Jacobs wrote on Jonet.nl. “The demonstration on Dam Square should never have been allowed.”

Halsema, who belongs to the far-left Green Left party, is facing a no-confidence vote at city hall over the rally. She said she expected far fewer protesters to show up.

The Netherlands has one of Europe’s highest death rates from COVID-19 and more deaths per million residents than the United States.

Amar A., Irschad G., Mohammed V. and Arman N. are men you do not have to invite, but you can invite. They came to the graduation ball on the evening of June 24, 2019, in Hofheim’s community hall, even though they were not invited – which may also be due to the fact that the young men aged between 21 and 24 never graduated from high school. They have been summoned to their trial at the Frankfurt Regional Court, where they are charged with life-threatening bodily injury, and they are appearing anyway – which may also be due to the fact that they are being held in custody and will be brought before the court. According to the prosecution, Amar A. and Irschad G., who are as drunk as high school graduates (1.1 and 1.5 per thousand), are loitering in front of the community hall in the early evening of the school dance and are surprising the male ball guests by crashing into them with a remote-controlled model car. They compliment the young ladies like “Horny ass!” and ask them as politely as possible within the bounds of their possibilities: “Do you want to fuck with me? But they only meet with real interest by two security men and the waiter of a neighbouring restaurant, who criticise the hustle and bustle of the dynamic duo and have to be called “wankers” and “assholes” by them. After a doomed attempt to “appeal to their common sense”, the 42-year-old waiter gets a punch in the face by A., while G. tries to push him down a nine-step staircase. The security men then force the boys to the ground and call the police.Amar A. in particular is dissatisfied with the overall situation. He explains to the waiter that he has just “made a mistake”, they “now know where he works” and will soon return to “send him to the cockroaches”. The police give the two angry men a brief warning and let them go again. Deeply moved by the address, Amar A. went to the refugee accommodation in Kriftel, fetched a one-hand knife from his room and two table legs from the bulky waste of the neighbouring football club and returned to Hofheim, where Irschad G. was already waiting. Arman N., who is celebrating his 21st birthday and is prepared for new experiences, joins the two. And Mohammed V. also has nothing reasonable planned at the moment. Having become a quartet, they dare to ambush the waiter on his way home. But when they ambush him after midnight on the street Elisabethenstraße, the waiter is accompanied by a colleague and the balance of power is precarious. Although the four of them manage to knock the waiter down and his companion flees, and after the chair legs have already done their job, Amar A. pulls out his knife to finish the job. But the waiter is beaten, but not defeated. Lying on the floor, he stands up to A., wrestles him down, snatches the knife from him, turns the tables and calls loudly for help from his friend, the host of a nearby shisha bar. But until he arrives, it is one against all. The outcome of the game is surprising: The waiter suffers two cuts on his hand, Amar A. is hit six times by his own knife. One stab hits Irschad G. in the lung. All three are taken to hospital. The first day of the court is turned into a linguistic tribunal on Tuesday. Arman N.’s defense attorney complains that her client does not understand a single word of the prosecution’s statement, because it is written in Farsi and not in N.’s native language, Dari. Although the interpreters present almost desperately affirm that Dari is merely the term used in Afghanistan for the same thing that is called Farsi in Iran, namely the Persian language, it may be that no language in the world can make N. understand what he is supposed to have done wrong.

As is well known, among our left-wing politicians, there is a Sugar Feast greeting contest at the same time every year when Ramadan comes to an end.

But this year, German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas & Co. should probably have been a bit more restrained. Because now it turns out that following private celebrations for the Muslim Sugar Feast in Göttingen, several hundred people had to be quarantined. There are 230 people in the city and district and 140 in the rest of Lower Saxony and North Rhine-Westphalia, Radio rst reports.The number of people infected is currently said to be around 80. However, this number could increase, as test results are still pending.

An Italian doctor has claimed that the Coronavirus is no longer present on Italian soil. He wants the administration to stop unnecessarily “terrorizing” the country.

“In reality, the virus no longer exists clinically in Italy.” Doctor Alberto Zangrillo, famous for taking care of former head of government Silvio Berlusconi, declared on May 31 on RAI that it was “time to stop terrorizing this country” because” the samples taken during the last ten days showed an absolutely infinitesimal viral load in quantitative terms compared to those taken a month or two months ago”.

This is a highly problematic statement for the government and the healthcare community. The undersecretary of the Ministry of Health, Sandra Zampa, estimated that while awaiting “scientific evidence to support the thesis of the disappearance of the virus”, she invited “those who say they are convinced of this thesis not to sow seeds confusion among Italians”.

As for the boss of the National Health Council, Franco Locatelli, he said he was “disconcerted”, and commented: “Just look at the number of new positive cases confirmed each day to see the persistent circulation in Italy of the new Coronavirus”.

Indeed, the figure varies between 300 to 500 new contaminations every day, according to reports in the media. As of Sunday, May 31, almost 400 new cases were identified, most of them in Lombardy.

Giuseppe Ippolito, director of the Spallazani Institute of Infectious Diseases in Rome, also ruled that there was no scientific evidence that the virus had mutated or decreased in power.
