Have you heard that a six-block section of Seattle has become an anarchist “capitol hill autonomous zone,” or “CHAZ” for short?
It has. Police and firefighters vacated their premises and bugged out with a Twitter blessingfrom Mayor Jenny Durkan. Durkan dithered over the descent of protests into violence for a week before doing much, and when she did much, her choice was to tweet in hasty retreat.
Anarchists quickly set up CHAZ to be and do its own thing, as long as that thing conformed with diktats of the CHAZ hierarchy.
They put up makeshift signs saying, “You are now leaving the U.S.A.” As you can see below, they appropriated stolen barricades from America, which they despise. To paraphrase a former president, CHAZ did not build that. Or anything else.

MIC DROP: Kayleigh McEnany Asks Press Pool if ‘Segregationist’ Joe Biden Should be Cancelled – Then Walks Out of Briefing Room Like a Boss (VIDEO)
White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany destroyed the liberal press pool pushing for renaming military bases named for Civil War generals who fought for the Confederacy.
The campaign to rename the military bases gained momentum this week as radical leftists toppled statues in their push for a Marxist revolution.
The left wants to erase our history.
Kayleigh MeEnany asked the liberal press pool if “segregationist” Joe Biden should be cancelled because of his past.

Kamala Harris, calling for $150-million LAPD defunding, also used LAPD as her private security detail
A Los Angeles city councilwoman was exposed as a hypocrite for introducing a bill to cut $150 million from the Los Angeles Police Department budget, while maintaining an LAPD private detail at her home for herself.
Security for me, but not for thee, see. The leftist political elites always gets their takings first.
Guess who else is just as hypocritical.
Sure enough, Kamala Harris, Democratic vice presidential frontrunner, who's loudly endorsed these $150-million police defundings, supporting the idea, along with her political ally, Mayor Eric Garcetti, who was last seen calling the LAPD "killers."
Sen. Kamala D. Harris of California on Tuesday said she applauds Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti for his move to cut about $150 million from a planned increase to the city's police budget but that the ongoing push for law enforcement reform "doesn't mean we get rid of police."

NYC lawmakers eyeing NYPD dissolution as one answer to ‘defund’ protests
Top city lawmakers are looking at chipping away at the New York Police Department’s contact with civilians by cleaving off its school safety and parking enforcement divisions, moves that would amount to the biggest overhaul of Big Apple law enforcement in decades.
The floated restructuring comes as civil rights activists and far-left politicians demand City Hall “defund” the police in the wake of a series of confluent crises — the national outcry over the death George Floyd, mounting criticism of the NYPD’s aggressive policing of Floyd-related protests and Gotham’s already massive $9 billion coronavirus budget hole.
“There’s no way in the world as a city body, as a Council, we can just walk away from this,” said Councilwoman Alicka Ampry-Samuels (D-Brooklyn), who chairs the public housing committee. “There’s no way we can go back to budget negotiations like we did in the past.”

Loretta Lynch tapped to assist state attorney general’s NYPD probe
The New York attorney general has enlisted former US Attorney General Loretta Lynch to help probe violent clashes between the NYPD and George Floyd protesters, the office announced Wednesday.
“The right to peacefully protest is one of our most basic civil rights, and we are working without rest to ensure that right is protected and guarded,” Attorney General Letitia James said in a statement. “As we continue our investigation, I will continue to use every tool at my disposal to seek answers and accountability, and that includes calling on the sharpest minds to lend their expertise.”
James — who announced last month that her office would look into police behavior during the recent protests over the Minneapolis police-brutality death of Floyd — said Lynch and New York University Professor Barry Friedman would be special advisers during the probe.
During her tenure at the Department of Justice, Lynch led investigations into several police departments over potential misconduct.
Notably, Lynch investigated the Chicago Police Department following the death of Laquan McDonald, finding the department regularly used “unjustified” and “excessive” force, which spurred reforms and community input.

Maryland Fishing Report
There has been some fun early morning and evening fishing for striped bass along the edges of the Susquehanna Flats.
Summer would not be complete without white perch and they are holding near most deep water docks and piers for anglers of all ages. They are plentiful, fun to catch, and when of decent size offer some fine fillets destined for a frying pan.
Northern snakeheads can now be found back in thick grass where they are spawning. A buzzbait or other topwater lure can catch their attention and entice a strike. Fishing for northern snakeheads will generally slow down for a while.

Figures. Democrats Wore the Kente Cloth to Honor George Floyd – The Same Fabric of the Ashanti Slave Traders
On Monday House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and other Democrat members of Congress knelt down for 8 minutes and 46 seconds to honor George Floyd.
The Democrats donned African Kente cloth scarves as they gathered in Emancipation Hall on Capitol Hill.
It should come as no surprise that the Kente Cloth was worn by Ashanti tribal leaders who practiced slavery.
Via The Ultimate History Project:
Kente cloth is deeply intertwined with the history of the Ashanti nation. The Ashanti Empire or Confederacy, which was located in what is today Ghana, first emerged in West Africa during the seventeenth century. The Ashanti are members of the Akan people who speak the Akan or Ashanti dialect. The word “Kente” which means basket comes from the Akan or Ashanti dialect. Akans also refer to Kente as nwentoma, which means woven cloth…
…While Kente cloth was a product of a global trade route which stretched from Asia through Europe to Africa, this cloth and the people also came to be associated with another global trade route—the slave trade. In fact, the history of the Ashanti people, who lived on the West Coast of Africa, is strongly tied to the history of the slave trade.
As was true of many pre-modern societies in Africa, Asia and Europe, the Ashanti practiced slavery. When Europeans, specifically the Portuguese, came into contact with the Ashanti during the sixteenth century, both Europeans and the Ashanti traded gold, ivory, and slaves.

J.K. Rowling Doubles Down, Exposes Misogyny of the Woke
The woke activists have all but told J.K. Rowling to shut up and go back to being barefoot in the kitchen.
The “Harry Potter” series author, long known for her liberal views, has beenunder attack for several days. Her crime? Tweeting that women is the right term, not “people who menstruate.” And then, to the horror of the Twitterati, Rowling didn’t apologize when there was an uproar. Instead she bravely tweeted a series of messages including, “It isn’t hate to speak the truth.”
Well, if there’s any message that doesn’t fly in the current woke environment, it’s that.
But in an extraordinary move, Rowling, instead of shutting up or apologizing, has written a long, personal essay explaining her views on sex, transgenderism, and feminism. In doing so, she dared to voice sentiments that billions around the world no doubt share—but many are afraid to even say these days, terrified of being hauled into human resources or facing other consequences.

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON: The Bitter Irony Of Revolutions
The ancient Greeks created new words like “paradox” and “irony” to describe the wide gap between what people profess and assume, and what they actually do and suffer.
Remember the blind prophet Teiresias of ancient drama. In the carnage of Athenian tragedy he alone usually ends up foreseeing danger better than did those with keen eyesight.
After a catastrophic plague and endless war, ancient democratic Athens was stripped of its majestic pretensions. Soon it was conducting mass executions — on majority votes of the people.
Throughout history, revolutions often do not end up as their initial architects planned. The idealists who ended the French monarchy in 1789 thought they could replace it with a constitutional republic.
Instead, they sparked a reign of terror, the guillotine and mass frenzy. Yet the radicals who hijacked the original revolution and began beheading their enemies soon were themselves guillotined.
It was not democracy but rather the dictator Napoleon who put an end to French domestic unrest.

Seattle Has Fallen: City Council And ANTIFA Join Forces
(Gateway Pundit) – Protesters and rioters have been allowed into Seattle’s City Hall after Councilwoman Kshama Sawant used her key to unlock the building and allow them inside.
Sawant has been calling on Mayor Jenny Durkan to resign over “violence and brutality” by police in the city’s response to the “overwhelmingly peaceful” riots they have seen in response to the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis.
Protesters poured into the building chanting for the mayor’s removal and were met with a speaker from the Socialist Alternative party.
Sawant herself also spoke to the mob, calling her colleagues “sellouts” and “corporate politicians.”

There’s a Solution to Police Abuse. It’s Not Defunding Police Departments.
The majority of America’s police officers are brave men and women who make sacrifices and take risks every day to keep our communities safe, but incidents of misconduct do occur. Defunding America’s police departments would not solve the issue of police abuse, but limiting the power of police unions would allow for needed reforms.
Rachel Greszler, a research fellow at The Heritage Foundation, joins “Problematic Women” to discuss her new piece “Confronting Police Abuse Requires Shifting Power From Police Unions.”
Police unions have made it extremely challenging for police chiefs to fire or adequately reprimand officers for poor behavior or abuse of power. Control of police departments must be taken away from unions, Greszler argues, and placed back in the hands of the police chiefs who know their communities and officers best.
Also on today’s show, we share Rachel del Guidice’s conversation with Star Parker, founder of the Center for Urban Renewal and Education. Parker explains why America is not inherently racist.

‘You won’t need to abolish us – we won’t be around for it’: Why I and many of my colleagues are quitting as US police officers
Travis Yates is a serving police commander in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He is a doctoral student in Strategic Leadership, a graduate of the FBI National Academy, and the author of "The Courageous Police Leader: A Survival Guide for Combating Cowards, Chaos & Lies”. This article was first published on lawofficer.com
After more than 27 years in the force, I’ve had enough. These protests and riots are the final straw. The nasty words we get called all the time have now turned into rocks, bottles and gunfire. It’s over, America: we are leaving.
This is the hardest thing I have written.
I grew up in a law enforcement family. My father worked his way up to the rank of Captain at the Fort Smith, Arkansas, Police Department. As a kid I remember going with him on Friday to pick up his check and I was in awe of these super heroes he worked around.
My dad sacrificed a lot and so did my late mother. Whether it was the week-long surveillance or wiretap or chasing drug runners across the country, he gave it all for my family and worked plenty of extra details to never let our family be without. Some would call that privilege but where I grew up, it was called hard work.
