On Thursday President Trump sat down for an extensive interview with Fox News host Harris Faulkner while in Dallas Texas. The lengthy interview was broadcast Friday.
Ms. Faulkner uses subtlety to present her emotional perspectives as facts; however, within the wide-ranging interview President Trump focuses on common sense perspectives, approaches and sensible applications of policy surrounding U.S. law enforcement reform.
What a difference 24 hours can make. – A report from KOMO News tonight, highlights Seattle officials planning to take back the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone, or nation of CHAZ, from the occupying anarchists and Antifa elements.
However, it’s more than a little funny to see Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan saying her administration is determining “when it would be safe for the Seattle Police to move in there” considering she was just claiming last night on CNN the occupation was merely a small group of festive citizens having “a block party”.
According to the report police Chief Carmen Best and her top commanders surveyed the inside of the East Precinct building, she and Mayor Jenny Durkan discussed how and when the department could reassert control of the building but they didn’t give a timeline.
Yesterday theMinneapolis city council voted to disband the police. Today they voted to establish a new public safety system based on the equities of all persons within the city; a greater need for social justice; and the dignified contribution of all life-forms.
The ‘imagine justice‘ concept is predicated on all elements within the society agreeing to a social compact of equity and collective peace. This will be interesting to watch, and may not end the way the group intends.
(Reuters) – The Minneapolis City Council on Friday unanimously passed a resolution to pursue a community-led public safety system to replace the police department following the death of George Floyd at the hands of the city’s police.
The move comes days after a veto-proof majority of the council voted to disband the police department. […] According to the resolution, the city council will begin a year-long process of engaging “with every willing community member in Minneapolis” to come up with a new public safety model.
Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan has willingly ceded six city blocks of downtown Seattle to an armed group of occupying elements within Antifa who have taken control. However, to retain her woke credentials she defines the occupying movement as a “peaceful expression of the communities collective grief”…
“not a lawless wasteland of anarchist insurrection”? Apparently the Mayor wants everyone to ignore the trash, graffiti, aggressive and violent behavior of the occupying elements who have armed themselves and refuse to accept any laws. The reality of the situation is exactly opposite of what Mayor Jenny Durkan pretends.
Videos from inside the occupied territory, the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (CHAZ), show a considerable difference from the pretense of the mayor.
Earlier today, President Donald Trump participated in a roundtable with faith leaders, law enforcement officials, and small business owners at Gateway Church in Dallas, Texas.
Local participants include: Attorney General Ken Paxton, Texas; Vernell Dooley, Chief of Police, Glenn Heights, Texas; Michael Mata, President, Dallas Police Association; Fred Frazier, 1st Vice President, Dallas Police Association and Commissioner on the President’s Commission on Law Enforcement and the Administration of Justice; Jaime Castro, 3rd Vice President, Dallas Police Association; Manny Ramirez, President, Fort Worth Police Officers Association; Pastor Robert Morris, Senior Pastor, Gateway Church Bishop Harry Jackson, Senior Pastor at Hope Christian Church, Beltsville, Maryland; Dr. Robin Armstrong, Physician and Advisory Board Member; Jack Brewer, Chief Executive Officer of the Brewer Group; Jon Ponder, Founder of Hope for Prisoners and Will Douglas, Owner, Crimson Care Pharmacy Group
During the discussion Bill Barr gives his perspective of the issues as United States Attorney General:
President Trump travels to Dallas, Texas, today to participates in a roundtable at the Gateway Church Dallas camput. The topic is the Transition to Greatness: Restoring, Rebuilding, and Renewing. Anticipated start time 4:00pm ET.
This is rather unusual. One would think a governor would be aware that seven blocks in his largest city have been taken over by armed occupiers who have formed an encampment called the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone. However, when questioned about it, an apparently clueless Washington State Governor jay Inslee says “that’s news to me.”
Note Inslee is not alone in being, well, a little odd. Apparently the bouncy sign language interpreter needs to go pee. WATCH
During strong testimony today in congress, representative Jim Jordan addressed the “Defund the Police” movement being pushed by radical democrats. WATCH:
Well-regarded author Dr. Shelby Steele appears for an interview with Martha MacCallum to discuss race relations in the U.S. and how the politics of white guilt does nothing to improve black lives. Dr. Steele challenges the victim narrative and discusses how policies focused on victimization do not empower the strength of any community.

Candidate Joe Biden defined the blackness of black people by saying if they did not support him “you ain’t black.” Obviously the strategy to campaign on this issue was made in the days prior to the South Carolina primary. What we see now is a continuation of that plan. However, the pandering is over-the-top; and there are indications of a backlash from within the black community.
President Donald Trump has noted the unusual behavior of the Buffalo protester who was captured on a now-viral video last week:
Coincidentally, as we noted at the time of the incident something does indeed seem sketchy with the behavior of Mr. Martin Gugino both before and during the encounter.
.
Mr. Martin Gugino is a 75-year-old professional activist, agitator and Antifa provocateur who brags on his blog about the number of times he can get arrested and escape prosecution. Also, according to Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown remarking on the incident: “here has been vandalism, there have been fires set, there have been stores broken into & looted. According to what was reported to me, that individual was a key major instigator of people engaging in those activities.”
