Vice President Kamala Harris’s husband, Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, is reportedly rallying Democrats around her for a 2024 presidential run should President Joe Biden bow out.
Kamala Harris has just scored a hat trick of buffoonery. While we are accustomed to her embarrassing herself virtually every time she speaks extemporaneously, her verbal tomfoolery may be keeping pace with the accelerating dementia of her boss, Joe Biden.
We’ll start with an outright lie, committed during an interview with Esme Murphy of WCCO-TV in Minneapolis. (Powerline readers are familiar with Ms. Murphy’s awkward relationship with the truth.)
The Vice President of the United States called claims that she supported the Minnesota Freedom Fund, established to bail out rioters arrested during the first round of arson and looting following the death in police custody of career criminal George Floyd, "misinformation":
This is an easily proven lie:
Evidently, Kamala knows that she lies, and noted in a separate appearance, “The thing about being a role model: people watch what you do to see if it matches what you say.’
Absurdity travels with the veep wherever she goes, and along with her (subconscious?) understanding that she lies and people notice it, she seems to realize that her boss is himself a parody of real president, dissolving into laughter as she mentions “The President of the United States.” No kidding. The woman understands that he is a joke, and she can’t keep a straight face or her composure when talking about him.

Kamala-Backed Bail Fund Puts Murderer on the Street
Vice president called for donations to Minnesota Freedom Fund amid George Floyd riots

A Minnesota bail fund championed by Vice President Kamala Harris helped free a repeat felon now charged with murder.
The Minnesota Freedom Fund on Thursday acknowledged it helped secure the release of Shawn Michael Tillman, who in May shot and killed a passenger on a rail platform in St. Paul. Harris promoted the Freedom Fund on Twitter during the George Floyd riots in 2020, helping the group raise $35 million in a matter of weeks, according to the Washington Post.
Freedom Fund executive directors Mirella Ceja-Orozco and Elizer Darris defended the group's decision to post Tillman's bail in a statement Thursday, saying, "It is neither just nor effective to respond to violence by denying bail and preemptively punishing people who are disproportionately poor, Black, brown, and Indigenous."
Tillman's criminal record includes multiple counts of indecent exposure, as well as assault and unlawful possession of a firearm, court records show. He is now in custody with bail set at $2 million.
When reached for comment, the Freedom Fund directed the Washington Free Beacon to its statement.
Tillman's most recent felony conviction was in November 2018 for indecent exposure in the presence of a minor. He had seven prior counts of indecent exposure at the time. Ceja-Orozco and Darris said convictions play into their decision to fund those charged with crimes. They did not list any of Tillman's past convictions.
Tillman is not the first person to commit murder after being bailed out by the Freedom Fund. The group helped free a man charged with domestic abuse last year. Weeks later, he murdered another man in a road rage incident, the Free Beacon reported.
The group also shelled out $75,000 in cash to release Jaleel Stallings, who was charged in May 2020 with attempted murder after shooting at police during the Floyd riots.
Minneapolis saw the highest number of homicides last year since the mid-1990s.
End of the Line for Black Lives Matter?
By Civis Americanus
Candace Owens isn't Black Lives Matter's biggest problem this month; its own website and social media posts are. These are not exactly new revelations because the information has been online for years but, when American Thinker readers help take it viral, it's the end of the world for this race hustling anti-Semitic fraud, and egg on the face of every organization and political figure that has gotten behind it. These could claim reasonably, at least until now, that they didn't know, but now they no longer have this excuse. They need to get clear of this impending public relations catastrophe immediately if not sooner.
I reported recently that BLM's co-founder Patrisse Cullors put her name and BLM's behind convicted terrorist murderer Rasmea Odeh, and convicted cop killer Assata Shakur, aka Joanne Chesimard. As Cullors was in fact BLM's de facto leader when she did this, that's enough to associate the entire organization with these statements along with support for the anti-Semitic boycott, divestment, and sanctions (BDS) movement. I looked further down that rabbit hole over the weekend to find, however, that it's not just Cullors. It's the entire organization.
Here is a YouTube video of not just Cullors, but also her fellow BLM co-founders Alicia Garza and Opal Tometi discussing the “Assata chant.”
“This is how we close out every meeting, every event, every action, every freeway we’ve shut down, every mall we’ve shut down, …this is from our beloved Assata Shakur… she's a powerful leader who we are inspired by.”
That's not just one BLM leader, or even just all three BLM leaders. Every BLM meeting, every BLM event, and every criminal obstruction of highways and shopping malls uses a quote from this convicted killer of a New Jersey State Trooper.
Ambush killings of law enforcement professionals are increasing along with anti-Semitic hate speech and hate crimes, and it's reasonable to believe that glorification of Assata Shakur and Rasmea Odeh is at least partly responsible for both.
Not only did all three BLM leaders endorse Assata Shakur, thus placing the organization squarely behind a convicted cop killer, BLM's official Web site removes all ambiguity. "In the words of Mama Assata Shakur: 'We must love and protect one another.'" They could have quoted somebody else, and Martin Luther King comes to mind. Why is a cop killer, as opposed to a universally respected civil rights activist, their role model?
BLM Supporters, It's Time to Get Clear of the Impending Train Wreck
I also reported that the Democratic National Committee appears to have removed "Black Lives Matter Organizing Resources" from its website, possibly in light of all the questions about the organization's finances that came up earlier this year. Lest we forget, however, the Washington Post reported in 2020, "Democratic convention embraces Black Lives Matter."
The Massachusetts Democrat party appears to have not gotten the word, yet noting its promotion of "View the Healing Justice and Action Toolkits from Black Lives Matter here." I viewed it and it includes the line, "How do we scaffold and support our well-being through direct action and confrontation?"
Some forms of direct action like strikes and sit-ins, the latter in places where one has a right to be, are lawful but others such as obstructing highways and shutting down shopping malls (as stipulated by BLM's leaders) are unlawful and infringe on the rights of others. Maybe the Massachusetts Democrats should have asked BLM what it means by "direct action" before putting their names behind it.
The same goes for House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, whose official webpage not only supports Black Lives Matter but also implies that Michael Brown, who did not have his hands up, was killed without justification as opposed to being shot in self-defense when he more likely than not tried to take an officer's sidearm and turn it against him.
When not only BLM but also prominent Democrats support cop killers (Chesimard) and would-be cop killers (Hakim Littleton beyond a reasonable doubt, and Michael Brown more likely than not), it's no surprise that violent felons are killing police for sport, e.g. by luring them into ambushes with 911 calls, rather than for traditional criminal motives such as robbery and dealing drugs. "Tarrant County Democratic Party Stands with Black Lives Matter" also names Michael Brown as a victim, so it seems that quite a few Democratic political figures have yet to get the word that BLM is spoiled goods.
Do Rasmea Odeh's Supporters Condone the Murder of Jews?
"UC-Berkeley anti-Israel activists rip up photo of Rasmea Odeh's terror victims," goes, as I see it, even further than mere disagreement with the policies of Israel or even anti-Semitic denial of Israel's right to exist. When you tear up the victims' pictures, you're telling me that their Jewish lives do not matter and that you are OK with their murders. That is what I infer from this behavior and I believe this inference to be reasonable.
Even if we assume for the sake of argument that Odeh didn't do it—and the U.S. and Israeli justice systems both believe she did—somebody murdered the two men in question, and he or she used a bomb to do it. The same individual planted a second bomb to murder emergency responders but the Israelis, who are quite used to this behavior from Palestinian terrorists, disarmed it. When you tear up the victims' pictures, you come across as condoning what happened.
The same reference hosts a YouTube video in which Jewish Voice for Peace welcomes Rasmea Odeh. The Anti-Defamation League lists Students for Justice in Palestine and Bears for Palestine as additional Odeh supporters. Here, by the way, is a video of some of these Berkeley students in action. Tell me again why the noncitizens among them were allowed into our country at all, and given valuable places in a university that could have been filled instead by (as just three examples) Ukrainians, Hong Kong Chinese, or Afghan refugees from the Taliban, all of whom would value our country's freedoms and opportunities, follow its rules, and quite likely make excellent citizens.
Take this information viral to make this the end of the line for Black Lives Matter as an even marginally credible organization, and send JVP, SJP, and Bears for Palestine straight to Hell with them.

The Greatest Lie Ever Sold: George Floyd and the Rise of BLM
Every adult American should watch Candace Owens' new documentary.
October 19, 2022 by Danusha V. Goska 17 Comments
Candace Owens’ October, 2022, 80-minute documentary, The Greatest Lie Ever Sold: George Floyd and the Rise of BLM, a Daily Wire production, is an agonizing watch. Beginning in spring, 2020, destructive and deadly riots broke out across the United States. These riots self-advertised as being all about a “racial reckoning.”
If you were a leftist living in a comfortable suburb far from the arson, looting, and public torture, you could look on and cheer the apparent downfall of the country and the value system you benefit from, and that you irrationally and hypocritically hate. If you were, like me and millions of others, living in a majority-minority, low-income city already burdened with high murder rates, 2020’s riots felt like a terrifying, demoralizing death spiral. We never knew when our homes would burn, when our grocers would be looted and permanently closed, when our fragile economies of immigrant-run mom-and-pop shops would be cut off at the knees, when our banks would shrug, give up, and leave town, when our cars would be incinerated, when our property values, already low, would plummet, when our black and Latino police officers would be shot dead, and when we would be the bystanders whose random death would add to the body count. In addition to those killed in the riots, 2,457 more black Americans were murdered in 2020 than in 2019, “marking the largest single-year increase in killings since the agency began tracking the crimes.” Anti-policing policies and attitudes and increasing lawlessness are to blame for these deaths and thousands more, research has shown.
Money is less of a concern for rich leftists than it is for those of us who are living on the edge. The poor know that poverty can be a death sentence. As we watched looters empty stores, especially stores in neighborhoods like ours, majority minority, economically weak urban enclaves, we knew: everything is about to start costing a lot more. Someone has to pay for the CVS, the Walgreens, and Walmarts being emptied out. The looters aren’t paying, so we will. The over-the-counter medications we rely on for chronic illnesses, drugs not covered by insurance, will take income away from our food budgets. Insurance rates will skyrocket, as will inflation. The little money we have will be worth less.
No, if you were a comfortable leftist living in a safe suburb you didn’t have to confront the consequences of your support for BLM. I just had a quick look at the pages of Facebook friends who posted wall-to-wall BLM support during 2020’s riots. One is now posting updates on the performance of her thoroughbred horses in various show competitions. One, who sobbed over the death of Queen Elizabeth, is now visiting Buckingham Palace. One has gone back to posting her scores in online word games. Another posts stunning photos of her expansive gardens. Their BLM passion was as short-lived as it was shallow.
Clearly, rich leftists have moved on to the next fad. We in blighted urban neighborhoods will never move on. Riots scar a city for generations. Capital, jobs, and safety depart and move to greener pastures. Newark has yet to recover from the riots of the 1960s. One estimate of the total cost of the George Floyd riots is $2 billion. That number is too low, for a few reasons. The Foundation for Economic Education explains. “Seventy-five percent of US businesses are under-insured and about forty percent of small businesses have no insurance at all. Their untold millions in losses don’t show up in the $2 billion figure … riots leave a lasting shadow on a city that haunts its economy for decades. The afflicted areas face higher insurance rates, lower property values, higher prices, reduced tax revenue, and decreased economic opportunity.” Finally, the damage done to human bodies and souls is not factored in to the $2 billion tab. An elderly man attempted to defend a property. Rioters broke his jaw. His pain and suffering, and subsequent sense of isolation and insecurity, and that of thousands of others, inevitably produces an economic drag, one it is difficult to estimate, but is no less real.
And all for nothing. Every last looting spree, every last rock thrown at the head of a beaten, bleeding white man lying helplessly in the street, every defaced synagogue, every not just ignorant but insane tearing down of a statue of a martyr to abolition like Hans Christian Heg or Abraham Lincoln, was for absolutely nothing. As Heather MacDonald, Roland G. Fryer, John McWhorter and others struggled to communicate, America is not racist, and there is no statistical support for the claim that there is an epidemic of white cops shooting unarmed black men to death for no reason. Officer Derek Chauvin was arrested four days after the death of George Floyd. He was rapidly charged, convicted, and imprisoned. In mainstream and social media, Chauvin was universally condemned, by both the left and the right. Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, beloved by police officers, famous as a tough-on-crime icon, roundly and repeatedly condemned Chauvin on his WABC radio show.
Owens’ The Greatest Lie Ever Sold adds to the agony with simple truths. I want every American to watch this documentary, even though I know that watching it may well hurt.
The film opens with a quote from Malcolm X. “The Media is the most powerful entity on earth. They have the power to make the innocent guilty and the make the guilty innocent.” I differ from Owens on this point. The media includes Candace Owens, and the media includes this review. The media is vast and consumers can select what media they support.
Next we see video of Floyd purchasing cigarettes with a counterfeit twenty dollar bill. The employees in the store are clearly minorities themselves. Cup foods employee Mike Abumayyaleh explains that they only call the police if the person using a counterfeit bill refuses to pay with other tender. George Floyd, apparently, when confronted, refused to pay with a real bill. In his refusal to use real money, even when confronted, Floyd made one of many choices that preceded his death. Officer Thomas Lane’s bodycam shows Floyd in a car with his drug dealer, not cooperating with the police. A caption reports that he resisted being placed in a squad car for eight minutes. Derek Chauvin was called in as backup. Had Floyd not resisted arrest, Derek Chauvin would never have been on the scene.
The film cuts to Candace Owens’ June 3 video. Owens, a black woman, rejected worldwide hysteria turning George Floyd into a Messianic figure. “I do not support George Floyd and the media depiction of him as a martyr for black America.” She cited Shelby Steele, paraphrasing him as saying that blacks are unique in that they “cater to the bottom denominator in our society.” Jews, whites, and Latinos, she said, would not hold up a felon as a culture hero. Owens made clear that she was not defending Derek Chauvin and she hoped to see Chauvin receive appropriate justice. She said also that the family of George Floyd deserves justice for the “way that he died.” “But I’m not going to accept the narrative that this is the best that the black community has to offer.’ “It has become fashionable for us to turn criminals into heroes.” “The only way you can be black is to say that this person was amazing. I’m not going to do that. George Floyd was not amazing.” “Everyone agrees that the police officer was wrong and the police officer has been arrested. That’s not something that has been misconstrued in the media.” Any black person who does not go along with the celebration of criminals is labeled a “coon.” Condoleezza Rice, Dr. Ben Carson, Larry Elder are all, in this understanding, “coons,” because they are educated high achievers.
Any fair minded person watching Owens’ June 3 video immediately realizes two things. The first thing a fair-minded person realizes is that Candace Owens is a straight-shooter and a person of depth and conscience. She is struggling to be as fair as possible in a very difficult situation. She never says that Floyd deserved to die as he did; she says quite the opposite. She never defends Chauvin; she says he deserves “justice.” No matter how hard Owens works to state a simple truth – she does not believe that black people benefit from making criminals their heroes – the viewer knows that Candace Owens will be vilified, threatened, and damned for what she had the courage and decency to say.
Dave Chappelle exhibited his signature cruelty, bullying, cowardice, misogyny, and, most important, his complete dishonesty. “Candace Owens tried to convince white America, ‘Don’t worry about it. He’s a criminal anyway.'” Chappelle is lying. Candace Owens said no such thing, and she clearly wasn’t talking to “white America.” In his pot-and-tobacco ruined voice, his eyes bugging out of his bald head, Chapelle gurgled out that Candace Owens is a “rotten bitch” and he mentioned kicking Owens in her “stinky pussy.”
Owens said that such attacks made everything “personal” for her. “I am going to scream the truth” more loudly than others “can scream the lies.” Candace Owens has more courage and integrity in her little finger than Dave Chappelle has in his six foot frame.
Owens visits George Floyd’s housemates, Alvin Manago and Theresa Scott. Their previously shared home looks lovely; his roommates, a man and a woman, come across as nice people. Both are kind and respectful in their comments about Floyd. They acknowledge that Floyd was an addict, but say that he kept that out of the house. The man they knew was a valued friend, they insist.
Manago says that at memorials people would circulate metal boxes and ask for money. “I don’t know who you are or where this is going.” Clips show the Floyd family acknowledging trips to the White House and crying. The documentary reports that none of them ever went to Floyd’s house to pick up his things. His car was still in the driveway. Neither Manago nor Scott had the paperwork necessary to address the car. Owens herself arranged to have it removed, and she gave Manago and Scott money to cover the rent they lost after Floyd’s death.
In the film, Scott emphasizes how surprised she was that no family members ever came to Floyd’s home for the final years of his life, the home where his belongings were still to be found. Manago says that he would like to meet Floyd’s daughter, as that daughter is “an extension of him.” Manago and Scott chat about people coming forward and claiming to be Floyd’s children, but proven wrong through DNA checks. Evidently there were rumors that some tried to capitalize on worldwide sympathy for Floyd by claiming false relationships. The documentary does not make clear if these rumors are accurate.
Owens lays bare George Floyd’s extensive criminal history. In 2007, Floyd and his accomplices forced entry into the home of Aracely Henriquez, pistol-whipped her, and ransacked her home. Henriquez’s seven-year-old son identified Floyd. “How absolutely traumatized that child was,” Owens remarks. “Just a few years later, children are wearing his shirt, and referring to him as hero and savior. That’s wrong … Two things can be true at once. George Floyd didn’t deserve to die. And this person was not a saint,” she says.
In a 2019 arrest video, “I want my momma, man,” Floyd moans. Who exactly was George Floyd’s “momma”? On the witness stand, Courtney Ross, Floyd’s girlfriend, with whom he sometimes used opioids, testifies that Floyd called her “momma,” and indeed his listed her phone number on his phone as “momma.” “Calling out for his mother was a nice victim narrative,” Owens observes.
Owens is shown speaking on her phone to an interlocutor we cannot hear. This, we learn, is Derek Chauvin’s mother. For understandable reasons, she is afraid to speak to Owens. Unable to gain access to Chauvin or his mother, Owens turns to people who knew him. Sargent Joey Sandberg says that “Derek is quiet, somewhat quirky, very dependable. Derek is the kind of guy you want to show up on your calls with you. He’s very level headed.” Sandberg says that Chauvin is allowed no reading material, no TV, no computer, and he is alone in his cell twenty-three hours a day. Since the documentary was filmed, Chauvin has been moved to another prison.
Lieutenant Kim Voss insists that Chauvin never revealed any racist tendencies. Indeed, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, a Muslim and a black man, said, “I wouldn’t call [Floyd’s death a hate crime] because hate crimes are crimes where there’s an explicit motive and bias. We don’t have any evidence that Derek Chauvin factored in George Floyd’s race as he did what he did.”
In the “widely circulated video taken by a bystander” “the camera angle suggests” that Chauvin “kneeled on George Floyd’s neck the whole time.” But Officer Alexander Kueng’s camera showed Chauvin’s knee on Floyd’s shoulder blade. How long Chauvin’s knee was on Floyd’s shoulder has been debated. In other video, Floyd also says “I can’t breathe” before he is put on the ground, at his own request.
Dr. Ron Martinelli is a forensic criminologist and Certified Medical Investigator. Martinelli tells Owens that there was evidence that Floyd had consumed a lethal cocktail of fentanyl and methamphetamine. In video from the trial, Dr. Andrew Baker, Chief Medical Examiner of Hennepin County, testifies that the level of fentanyl found in Floyd’s system, had he been found dead absent any interaction with police, would have been assessed as enough to have killed him. “I would certify his death as fentanyl toxicity.”
Martinelli says that Floyd’s heart suffered from cardiomegaly, that is, an enlarged heart, a sign of ill health. “That is significant.” “There is zero evidence,” he says, to prove that Floyd was unable to intake sufficient oxygen. The suggestion is that Floyd did not die of asphyxiation. This conclusion is controversial and debated. On October 17, for example, the Washington Post accused Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, of lying when he said that Floyd died from a drug overdose. The reason that the asphyxiation v. drug overdose battle is so hot is clear. If Floyd died of a drug overdose, he was responsible for his own death and the larger narrative becomes an anti-drug-abuse narrative. If Derek Chauvin asphyxiated Floyd, Chauvin is responsible for his death, and the larger narrative is one of black innocence, white racism, and police brutality.
Owens interviews a few people whose lives where damaged by Floyd protestors. Liz Collin is a former news anchor. She is married to former Minneapolis police chief Bob Kroll. “Within minutes” of Floyd’s death, Collin reports, tweets appeared saying, paraphrase, Bob Kroll and Liz Collin will be dead by the time the year ends. The mob also threatened to murder their seven-year-old son. Protestors made pinatas of Collin and Kroll dressed as Klansmen. and Representative John Thompson, spewing obscenities, beat these effigies in Collin’s and Kroll’s home driveway. Collin lost her job, and was unable to get any other job.
Kitson is a boutique in LA where celebrities sometimes shop. Fraser Ross is the owner. He called Kitson “a general store for the rich.” Looters stole over $400 thousand dollars of merchandise. Chrissy Teigen posted that she would donate hundreds of thousands of dollars in bail money for rioters. “They all live in gated communities and it’s not their stuff being destroyed,” Ross observes.
Ross posted a looting photo and said “Thanks Chrissy.” She replied, “I’m gonna not shop at your store so hard.” Influencers Jen Atkin and Dana Omari inevitably accused Ross of being a racist. Omari sent Ross a lengthy private message detailing how he must grovel in public to avoid further wrath. During a phone call, Omari extorted a ten thousand dollar donation to Black Lives Matter. Without that donation, she said, she would ruin his business through her internet posts.
Not just individual lives, but the lives of communities were destroyed by the Floyd riots. These were largely non-white, low-income communities. Pastor Charles Karuku grew up in Kenya. He is president of Unity Movement Institute. Of the Floyd riots, Pastor Karuku says, “I’m used to this in Third World countries, but not in America, and not in Minnesota … This is not ‘Minnesota Nice.'” Karuku and Owens walk past a sign reading, “You are now entering the Free State of George Floyd.”
Karuku explains, “This is an autonomous zone that operates outside the laws of the United States … They do whatever they want … We’ve seen a woman who was pregnant shot right in front of us.”
Shops are boarded up. Insurance would never cover all the losses. Owens and Karuku pass an open-air altar to George Floyd. There is a drawing in the street representing his body. Flowers and artwork surround it. A cardboard sign reads, “Sacred space.”
“We have better people to follow,” the pastor says. “Like Jesus Christ, who epitomized what we would like to emulate.”
“BLM raised ninety million dollars on the back of George Floyd. Where is that money?” Owens asks.
“I don’t know. It’s not here … Everything looks worse than it was… Some of these organizations can only get money if they propagate hatred. They are not helping the community. They are helping themselves,” Karuku says.
George Floyd’s former housemates say that they have not seen a dime of BLM money, though they are carrying the expenses Floyd used to carry.
Silicone Valley entrepreneur and bestselling author Vivek Ramaswamy says that during the Floyd riots, his business milieu insisted on “a pledge of allegiance to this one man into some type of new modern messiah figure. The religious quality was odd. The bending the knee … I didn’t recite the same ritual incantation that every other CEO was pledging allegiance to across the country.”
A BLM front person bought a mansion for three million, and then sold it to BLM for six million within days, creating a personal profit of three million. “That’s a self-dealing transaction.”
BLM founder Patrisse Cullors hired her mother and her brother to work at the property. The brother is a graffiti artist. He was hired to handle security. His salary is $840 thousand for one year. Cullors’ baby daddy received $969 thousand. Cullors also channeled money to her wife, Jenaya Khan, who appears to have had surgery to appear as a male. Even so, a photo of Khan can receive this kind of caption from Vogue, “Louis Vuitton vest and pants. Mejuri pendant necklace. Hair, Marcia Hamilton; makeup, Tasha Reiko Brown. Fashion Editor: Yashua Simmons. Produced by: GE Projects. Photographed by Melodie McDaniel.” A bit different from “Arise ye prisoners of starvation. Arise ye wretched of the earth.”
BLM has poured over two million dollars into trans groups, including groups for trans sex workers. Owens attempts to investigate Living through Giving, an organization that received $2.3 million from BLM. Photos reveal that Cullors knew the recipient, AJ Vreeland, at least as early as 2019. Living through Giving purports to distribute free lunches. Owens was unable to find any such distribution.
$32 million of Marxist, anti-Western, anti-American BLM’s assets went into the stock market.
Owens goes to “celebrity enclave” Laurel Canyon. In this segment, petite Candace Owens is very obviously pregnant. She is dressed, as ever, impeccably. She merely approaches the gate of Cullors’ mansion, a mansion purchased with the blood of innocents like David Dorn.
Intercut with Owens’ inoffensive approach to Cullors’ mansion is video of Cullors herself, whining online that Candace Owens is threatening her. It would be comical were it not so disgusting. Owens is a petite woman; she is carrying a child; she is speaking in soft, polite tones. All she wants is to speak to someone. Cullors labels Owens’ visit a veritable terrorist assault. “She was demanding that I come outside,” Cullors lies into her video camera. “It’s unacceptable and it’s dangerous to come outside of my house.” One thinks of the houses burned to the ground by Cullors’ followers. “What happened this morning is not safety. It’s not what I deserve. It’s not what any of us deserve. They’re trying to destroy me.” No, Cullors. Owens was just trying to tell the truth.
It goes without saying that Cullors’ security team is, as Owens reports, a white male and a German shepherd.
“What could be more emblematic of BLM than that?” Owens asks. “Playing the victim, to the public, hoping that you can get sympathy and that sympathy will transform into dollars.” “The real story” of George Floyd’s death, Owens insists, “is a story of addiction. That could have brought people together globally. This was a man who was high on drugs … it is a story of a man who overdosed.” Instead, BLM uses “black emotion and black pain to extort dollars from white America.”
In 2020, Minneapolis saw a 58% increase in murder. In 2021, the city recorded the highest number of homicides in over 20 years.

9. Why did your office decline to investigate the health supplement fraud cases involving companies your husband’s law firm represented? Did you, as California’s attorney general, ever purposefully decline investigating or prosecuting clients of your husband’s law firm?
Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) and her husband, attorney Douglas Emhoff, gave 1.1% of their income to charity in 2019, tax records show.
Harris reported giving $35,390 to charity, while she and her husband earned $3,095,950 in taxable income.
The best-case scenario is that she’s a progressive who repeatedly violated her own principles so that she could promote her career. In the worst-case scenario, she’s just another corrupt, rotten, regressive prosecutor. JESSER HOROWITZ

KAMALA HARRIS AND HER GOLDMAN SACHS BANKSTER STEVEN MNUCHIN
A tidy corrupt partnership

She also declined to prosecute OneWest, run by now-Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin from 2009-2015, after her own prosecutors said they discovered over a thousand violations of foreclosure law committed by the bank. (OneWest donated $6,500 to Harris' attorney general campaign in 2011, and Mnuchin himself donated $2,000 to her Senatecampaign in 2016.)

TALKING ABOUT KAMALA HARRIS

“The effrontery to all of us to put an obviously ailing and incoherent
Joe Biden for the top spot and for the V.P., Kamala Harris, who
couldn't even carry her own state in the primaries, indicates their lack of
judgment.” ALAN BERGSTEIN
“However, I would like to encourage my fellow Democrats to approach Senator Harris with a healthy dose of skepticism. As a prosecutor and California State Attorney General, Harris has engaged in blatantly unethical behavior for her profession and embraced positions that actively hurt her constituents.”
JESSER HOROWITZ
Joe Biden, the corrupt, unaccomplished 47-year career politician, with a reputation of having been a proud segregationist, an unabashed plagiarist and liar, a resolute tale-teller, and a serial flip-flopper, is pretending to head up a radical social-democratic ticket for President of the United States that includes as his running mate the ambitious, disagreeable junior senator from California: Kamala Harris.
KAMALA'S STATE OF MEXIFORNIA: The World's
biggest Mex welfare state
"Many Americans forget is that our country is located against a socialist failed state that is promising to descend even further into chaos – not California, the other one. And the Mexicans, having reached the bottom of the hole they have dug for themselves, just chose to keep digging by electing a new leftist presidente who wants to surrender to the cartels and who thinks that Mexicans have some sort of “human right” to sneak into the U.S. and demographically reconquer it." KURT SCHLICHTER
These so-called undocumented immigrants are becoming legally indistinguishable from citizens as they openly reside in 500 sanctuary jurisdictions, receive welfare, education and medical care, are granted drivers licenses, and given tuition breaks at public universities as they, not legal immigrants or American citizens, are exempt from federal immigration, health and travel laws.
STEVE McCANN
So, Joe Biden and Democrats are punishing us for the sin of wanting to be left alone and wanting our children to be left alone. They are deliberately increasing gas prices to hurt us, and one way to increase gas prices is to ship our oil to foreign countries. Another way is to flood the country with millions of illegals who consume oil (and housing), creating more scarcity and higher prices. JOHN NOLTE
