I hear tickets for the Trump rally are about 600,000.
I wonder how many police got injured in the George Gloyd protests?
I have not seen a total.
Chicago - 132 officers
DC - 100
NYC - 300
This article estimates 700+

Police Arrest Texarkana Man Threatening to Execute Officer on Social Media
Another one, every day for the last week or so they’ve been arresting these boogaloos. Yet Dr. Michael K had dreams of joining them.
how will Juneteenth be celebrated?
Spiritual High (State Of Independence)Chrissy Hynde/Anderson/Vangelis
do rallies spread more covid than protests and celebrations?
@Dr. K
Pascale says 800K
You mean the “largely peaceful” protests.
Doc Mike, last I saw Brad was saying 800,000. And that was many hours ago. Is that some sorta Zoom thing? Seems like it’s gonna be hard to have a million folks show up.
Anywho.

I think Joscha is off a bit. But, it does seem like there could be a sustainability issue re stuff like the many hundreds of billions that are being secretly handed out by DJT administration. Also, it may not “be best” to have tax cuts for rich folks now that are paid with borrowed money (incl interest) from the future when the current economy was very strong and infrastructure and other investments were F-ed.

Man with links to ‘boogaloo’ movement indicted in Texas....Correction, he was arrested in April. Indicted June 12th.
From the link I posted in my first comment.
“At approximately 10:30 Saturday night, numerous 911 calls were received from people who had seen the Facebook Live video online. In the live feed, a mansaid that he was driving in the Texarkana area searching for a police officer alone so that he could ambush them. Officers were able to view the live video feed and quickly determined that he was driving a late model black Chevrolet truck in the area of St. Michael Drive just west of I-369. At one point, the man could be heard saying in the video that he had just passed an officer on the service road but was having to turn around to go get him.
Swanson sat in his vehicle with his music blaring and ignored officers’ commands to exit. After approximately 25 minutes, he stepped out of his vehicle and surrendered. He was taken into custody without further incident. He was wearing an armored plate carrier type vest when arrested, and officers found several weapons inside his vehicle.“
Pretty amazing not one cop fired on this guy, who had a live Facebook video saying he was going out now to kill himself some cops. Yesterday a drunken man who ran from the police with nothing deadlier than a taser he tried to shoot off over his shoulder as he was running was shot in the back and killed.
Look what we gave here

The Wendy’s restaurant in Atlanta where Rayshard Brooks was killed was burned down by a white woman, to the apparent dismay of black protesters who were demonstrating in its parking lot. An award has been posted, and her picture published on the Internet. But lotsa luck, because she is wearing a black mask, COVID-19 style, and black slacks, jacket (in Georgia in mid-June!), and hat. If she’s not a member of Antifa, she’s certainly dressed like Antifa.
Here’s the problem I have with the published video reaction of the peaceful protestors. Couldn’t they have stopped her? I guess I can get why they wouldn’t detain her for police, but perhaps turn her over to the firemen?
Radio Japan protester-in-the-street interview about New Zealand racism: "If you're not white, you're treated like a minority."
Michael K: "I hear tickets for the Trump rally are about 600,000."
According to Inga, its really just 5 guys who own a hawaiian shirt concession purchasing all the tickets.
Plus, they are russian spies.

2nd event considered
Of cabbages and kings and their statues. I can understand why the Irish would want to tear down any statue of Cromwell in Ireland. He conquered their land and gave them enduring hardships. In England, I believe they are more ambivalent. At any rate there are some statues of him still extant and there's no great demand to topple them.....Teddy Roosevelt wrote an admiring biography of him. Cromwell was a good family man and the most successful general of his era. I suppose he had his good points, but his record in Ireland is shameful. There were massacres, forced evictions, and the outright enslavement of many. Well, no comedian ever got in trouble for making a bad joke about Trump, and no English ruler ever got in trouble for hating Papists or treating the Irish unfairly. For ecumenical reasons I wish someone in England would topple one of his statues.
Good they delayed the rally by a day. Gives Trump more time to get down the ramp.
80,000 who will sign the waiver to not sue if they come down with Covid. LOL, ya can’t make this stuff up.
Basically no successful man or woman who was born before 1955 or so is not subject to some real reason for offended people to latch onto.
And for the ones born after 1920 or so, almost every successful man or woman in the West has been a proponent of abortion on demand, and so their statutes will have to come down sooner rather than later, or will never go up, just as the children whose death they presided over never grew up...
Gandhi was an obvious rotter, but even if he was the nice guy some people say he was, they still have their reasons to take his statue down.
I say we compromise and only have statues of living people in public spaces, with the understanding that the statutes will come down when they die.
Napoleon sent an army of fifty thousand men to reinstate slavery on Haiti. The family of his wife Josephine owned the largest sugar plantations in the West Indies. The Countess Walewska made appointment with him to discuss Polish independence. During the course of their discussion, Napoleon took the opportunity to rape her. The Napoleonic Code made it into law that women could not buy, sell or transfer property without the consent of a male guardian. When Madame de Stael asked him which woman in France he admired most, Napoleon replied that he admired most that woman who had the most children.....Napoleon was in some ways the French Revolution on horseback. He didn't flog his soldiers and many enlisted men became generals. Big deal. At the end of the Napoleonic wars, thirty percent of the men there were either dead or disabled. Still, he was the darling of the French left then and for several generations after his death. Even now the cancel culture doesn't come for him......There does seem something arbitrary and misinformed about this cancel culture. Monsters like Cromwell and Napoleon are ignored, and giants like Churchill and Gandhi are defaced.
What do we have here:

Parscale mentions it's a data haul.
I wonder if the people at MADD will come out in support of those officers in Atlanta?
Fascinating

Birkley, you're just grinding metal. Ease down, ease down.
Gandhi doesn't belong in the same conjunction with Churchill. Sleeping with little girls and ejaculating on them only seems reasonable to Hardin.

Inga, your message discipline is truly a wonder. How are you able to so consistently and reliably ignore everything you need to ignore to maintain the claim that the right is the problem?
Yesterday I saw my very first Biden lawn sign in the entirety of central Ohio. I mean literally the first I have ever seen in this election cycle. The enthusiasm for him is growing, so let's not get cocky.
Changing subjects, I'm still perplexed that one of the statues taken down by the mob was an abolitionist (Matthias Baldwin). What was the logic? Was it a case of ignorance, or mistaken identity? Was it simply iconoclasm run amok? Or was Mr. Baldwin guilty of some crimethink, and the history majors who knew his name were outraged?
I have mixed feelings about the Gandhi statue. I remember the Richard Attenborough/Ben Kingsley movie that came out in the ancient world of 1982. Even though it was a hagiography, it really was an inspiring and beautiful film. Later I learned more about Gandhi, that he was a very peculiar and complicated man. I also learned about the unintended but forseeable consequences of Indian independence (the Indo-Pakistani Wars). But I'm still surprised the pendulum has swung so far the other way on a "person of color" who was universally admired. Einstein respected Gandhi. Bonhoeffer wrote him a famous letter. MLK applied his doctrines and techniques. Now all of a sudden Gandhi must be extinguished because of his racism. I wonder how many people eager to destroy his statue know anything about the American civil rights movement, and Gandhi's influence. Strange times.
If I was more mischievous, I would infiltrate these mobs and insist that FDR's statue be destroyed next.
Douthat has an interesting piece in the NYT about the successor ideology to exhausted liberalism.
Another one, every day for the last week or so they’ve been arresting these boogaloos.
Where in the article did it say the guy is a Boogaloo?
God, you're such a liar.
Nichevo,
I understand precisely what I am doing.
If some people believe they can negotiate with crocodiles they should learn the lesson from me before the Death Roll.
It's easier and more efficient my way.
Anybody who believes this particular slope is not slippery is a damned fool.
.There does seem something arbitrary and misinformed about this cancel culture. Monsters like Cromwell and Napoleon are ignored, and giants like Churchill and Gandhi are defaced.
I'm reading Andrew Roberts biography of Napoleon. Much more sympathetic than any other biography in English. He was a pretty interesting guy other than the military. I'm just past Austerlitz so have not gotten into his disastrous decision to invade Russia. Josephine was screwing his other5 officers and he knew it but kept her. She had such rotten teeth that there is not painting of her smiling. His nepotism with his family was the worst of his decisions.

Trump's rally is stupid. Right now he can blame the second wave on the protests and riots.
De Blasio and the epidemiologists, faking the results in plain view
“ The hundreds of contact tracing workers hired by the city under de Blasio’s new “test and trace” campaign have been instructed not to ask anyone who’s tested positive for COVID-19 whether they recently attended a demonstration, City Hall confirmed to THE CITY.
“No person will be asked proactively if they attended a protest,” Avery Cohen, a spokesperson for de Blasio, wrote in an emailed response to questions by THE CITY.”

Your only error is thinking that rhhardin views ejaculation as reasonable.

Gen. Kurt von Hammerstein-Equord had her number - stupid and hardworking:
As Chief of the Army High Command, Hammerstein-Equord oversaw the composition of the German manual on military unit command (Truppenführung), dated 17 October 1933.
He conceived of a classification scheme for officers:
I distinguish four types. There are clever, hardworking, stupid, and lazy officers. Usually two characteristics are combined. Some are clever and hardworking; their place is the General Staff. The next ones are stupid and lazy; they make up 90 percent of every army and are suited to routine duties. Anyone who is both clever and lazy is qualified for the highest leadership duties, because he possesses the mental clarity and strength of nerve necessary for difficult decisions. One must beware of anyone who is both stupid and hardworking; he must not be entrusted with any responsibility because he will always only cause damage.[25]
Birkel, I get it, but I remember a lesson from a dog trainer (not my dog but I was there): when you're pulling on the leash, it's not real, for the dog. They don't process or integrate the information you are giving them - Heel, or whatever.
I understand that you think you are banging the lesson into poor Freeman Hunt, but all she is learning is that you are unkind, and don't understand her, and not to trust content from Birkel. I hate to say it, but your punitive style of instruction is very reminiscent of Howard's. Imagine yourself learning something from Howard. It takes a great mental suppleness to pick out the nuggets from the dross, let's put it that way.
TLDR: You catch more flies with honey than you do with vinegar. You do you, but I'd consider lightening up. I haven't even noticed Freeman posting lately, which I find regrettable.
It will be better soon. I hope so. It is terrible than ever when I have read about Amazon. I don't know if I should visit Amazon visit for the best.
