Hennepin County Judge Peter Cahill reinstated third-degree murder charges against Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin on the third day of jury selection.  The trial now includes a set of charges against Chauvin more favorable to the prosecution who may not be able to prove second-degree murder and/or possibly second-degree manslaughter.

Meanwhile the political activists are using the opportunity of the trial to take control over a portion of the city where even the police will no longer patrol.  The leftists have created an autonomous zone, a no-go zone, near the site of the George Floyd memorial.  (Video Report Below):

MINNESOTA – […] Judge Peter Cahill on Thursday granted prosecutors’ motion to reinstate the third-degree murder charge, which would require a lower standard of proof than second-degree. In order to convict Chauvin of second-degree murder, prosecutors would need to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Chauvin caused Floyd’s death while committing or attempting to commit a related felony, in this case third-degree assault.

To win a conviction on third-degree murder, prosecutors would need to prove that Chauvin caused Floyd’s death in an act that is “eminently dangerous” to others. The additional count adds another option for jurors to consider as they weigh charges against Chauvin, which legal experts say is a benefit for prosecutors. (more)

Just like the cases of Trayvon Martin, Mike Brown, Freddie Grey, Eric Garner, Breonna Taylor and many more, the background political activists are attempting to manipulate public opinion to achieve their goals.  This has been the Marxist roadmap and racial division strategy for the past decade.  “Never Let A Crisis Go To Waste”

The House is determined to advance further gun control legislation as an action priority for Democrats.   Unfortunately eight republican House members are supportive of the Democrat effort to restrict gun ownership [HR8]. 

The republicans in the House who voted in support of the background check bills are: Vern Buchanan (R-FL-16), Mario Diaz-Balart (R-FL-25), Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA-1), Will Hurd (R-TX-23), Peter T. King (R-NY-2), Brian Mast (R-FL-18), Chris Smith (R-NJ-4), and Fred Upton (R-MI-6).

WASHINGTON DC – […] “The first bill, [HR 8 HERE] which passed 227-203, is designed to close loopholes to ensure background checks are extended to private and online sales that often go undetected, including at gun shows. The legislation includes limited exceptions allowing temporary transfers to prevent imminent harm, for use at a target range and for gifts from family, among others.”

Specifically, it prohibits a firearm transfer between private parties unless a licensed gun dealer, manufacturer, or importer first takes possession of the firearm to conduct a background check.  The prohibition does not apply to certain firearm transfers, such as a gift between spouses in good faith.

The second bill, which passed 219-210, would extend the review period for background checks from three to 10 days. (more)

Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene has rapidly become one of the most ardent supporters of MAGA policy and political perspectives in Washington DC.  She is opposed by all the correct enemies as to reflect how the UniParty politicians consider her a risk to the DC system.

Today MTG appeared on the Steve Bannon podcast to discuss her perspective and experience in Washington DC with Democrats and Republicans.  Ms. Greene notes her experience with the UniParty apparatus, a singular political outlook that surrounds all of the politicians occupying Washington DC.  The Conservative Treehouse has long discussed this exact issue.

MTG succinctly discusses how the Republicans failed to support the MAGA agenda after President Trump was elected; republicans controlled both the House and the Senate chambers yet they did nothing.   MTG is also one of the few voices who understands how DC is a business model, an economic system and industry that is supported by the politicians within it; and she is willing to call them out.  A very rare breed….  WATCH:

CTH often describes the background DC motives with the phrase: “There are Trillions at Stake.”  Expanding on MTG’s explanation of the DC economic business model, below we take another look at what that really means; and how DC politics is not quite based on the ideas that frame many reference points.

Attorney Sidney Powell continues working with her team to coordinate legal challenges while providing evidence of corrupt election systems and processes.  In this interview with Pete Santilli, Powell discusses the current state of her efforts and the groups she is working with in state legislative offices.

The future of voting against the UniParty begins with first securing the processes of elections: paper ballots, limited election days, limited and controlled absentee ballots, no computer systems for electronic manipulation, voter ID requirements, and one citizen – one vote.

In an effort to keep the Daily Open Thread a little more open topic we are going to start a new daily thread for “Presidential Politics”. Please use this thread to post anything relating to the JoeBama Administration and Presidency.

“This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can’t be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won’t be done. The Founders’ Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.”

“But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.”

~ Mike Vanderboegh

This thread will refresh daily and appear above the Open Discussion Thread.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.

For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

A sixth woman has come forward with details of sexual harassment by New York Governor Andrew Cuomo.

The Times Union – A female aide to Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo alleges he aggressively groped her in a sexually charged manner after she had been summoned to the Executive Mansion late last year, according to a person with direct knowledge of the woman’s claims.

The staff member, whose identity is being withheld by the Times Union, had been called to the mansion under the apparent pretext of having her assist the governor with a minor technical issue involving his mobile phone. They were alone in Cuomo’s private residence on the second floor when he closed the door and allegedly reached under her blouse and began to fondle her, according to the source.

The person, who is not authorized to comment publicly, said the woman — who is much younger than Cuomo — told the governor to stop. Her broader allegations include that he frequently engaged in flirtatious behavior with her, and that it was not the only time that he had touched her. (read more)

Modern journalism is a complete mess of Moonbats with tender sensibilities expressing their rage against those who they disagree with.  However, if you dare to defend yourself or confront their ideological nonsense, you are “attacking” them and inciting “harassment” against them.  Essentially modern journalists are tender snowflakes who demand to be respected as they use their position as a weapon against those they disagree with.

After Tucker Carlson called out one of the New York Times reporters, the Times -yet again- claimed their journalist was being harassed.  It is a ridiculous circle of meaningless self-indulgent nonsense, as Tucker Carlson rightly noted earlier tonight.  WATCH:

These journalists really are a pathetic batch of moonbats.

Merrick Garland has been confirmed by a UniParty Senate 70-30 (link).

Now we watch the next move(s); as with everything in Obama’s third-term, if you watch the ‘other hand’ you will find the play… and bookmark this.  With Garland confirmed there will be multiple people and groups who supported President Trump targeted by the U.S. Department of Justice. The extremist Lawfare group is openly advocating for more political targeting; to wit Garland has stated his intent to continue weaponizing the DOJ where former AG Eric Holder left-off.

…”Garland told the Senate Judiciary Committee last month that he will “supervise the prosecution of white supremacists and others who stormed the Capitol,” as he did as a federal prosecutor investigating the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing.”…(LINK)

First, as to Garland: A perfect encapsulation of the Republican votes to confirm showcase a who’s who list of TWENTY DeceptiCons: Blunt, Burr, Capito, Cassidy, Collins, Cornyn, Ernst, Graham, Grassley, Inhofe, Johnson, Lankford, McConnell, Moran, Murkowski, Portman, Romney, Rounds, Thune and Tillis.  Please remember these names because CTH keeps getting asked who are Mitch McConnell’s DeceptiCon caucus members.  Once again, here they are.

We all know that Biden is an avatar for Obama’s third-term. Hence the plan by Team Obama and James Clyburn to secure the 2020 club nomination and then later insert Kamala Harris. As a result JoeBama’s first judicial move is a slightly stealthy one.

Judge Garland was an important judge on the important DC Circuit Court.  Garland’s replacement will be a senate confirmed seat for that court.

This ongoing saga is ridiculous, but it is one of the rare times when Piers Morgan is in alignment with common sense and the majority sentiment within his country.  Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are insufferable elites attempting to make their entitled selves into victims.  It is ridiculous.

People who have watched the way the Obama team use pop culture to advance Marxist political objectives have already seen through the ruse of the Meghan Markle comments with Oprah Winfrey.  It was not accidental the interview comments about racism were organized, timed and released to coincide with the George Floyd trial in Minnesota.  It’s how the cultural Marxists work.

If any group of people can see through to the orchestration of this, it is you, the CTH community.  We have researched the Obama use of racism as a political tool for years; that technique includes using media figures like Oprah.  The Chicago fingerprints of the familiar architects are clear as day on this ridiculous story.
