At least 3 Black lives have been taken by rioters: 2 police officers (Underwood on duty in Oakland, Dorn a retired chief defending a friend’s business) and a 22-year old protester. And others. Here is the wrenching video of the sister of the young black protester killed and her accusation against the rioters for blood on their hands:   https://thejewishvoice.com/…/heart-wrenching-video-woman-l…/ Do those 3 wrongs (or all the billions in property damage) make Floyd’s death right, or honor it? Do those Black lives matter less, or do they get the publicity as martyrs that Floyd does? No, because the cowing, partisan media wouldn’t want to dilute the radical BLM message and demands to defund police. Never mind that the Minneapolis police chief is Black, mayor Democrat and very far Left (he called the shot to abandon the police precinct that was overrun and destroyed, further encouraging the rioters). How, on earth is it that they don’t bear the blame for any “systemic” racism i...

With all the abuse and attacks on police, large numbers of them are leaving the service.   Nice work, news media, BLM, Democrat politicians, etc. for furthering the anti-police narrative, generalizing, giving the rioters/protesters more legitimacy, fanning the flames of racial/police hatred and adding to our nations woes.   Good luck recruiting replacements or maintaining a civil society, not that you care – yet, until it’s too late and you, too, are affected.   And good luck putting the genie back in the bottle, whatever their short-sighted political motives.   In one recent interview, a news interviewer asked the activist interviewee how “WE” can maintain the level of unrest.   Perhaps people can now begin to more clearly see how correct Trump was in calling the media “the enemy of the people.” Activist/propagandist “journalism,” i.e., “fake news.” Of course police misconduct, however infrequent, needs to be addressed, and police unions (allied most with...

I’ve been a viewer of GMA for many years (over 30 – since Joan Lunden & David Hartman), but that ended Monday, Sept. 25, 2017 – a month ago.  While entertaining and somewhat informative (I rely on other sources for more balance), I have long put up with occasionally clear political bias.  But your coverage that morning of the NFL protests was too much to stomach, and drove me over my threshold for tolerance.  I could just as well watch MSNBC for that kind of coverage.  I have now been watching the CBS morning program, because CBS had the courage to fire a VP who made such despicable remarks about the Las Vegas shooting victims.  I will never patronize anyone who contributes to legitimizing those who dishonor or threaten those brave protectors of society, who for instance performed so well in the Las Vegas shootings.    I seriously doubt anyone at ABC will take the time to read or understand my reasoning because you are comfortable in ...

Bill & the AG, DOJ & FBI, and Hillary’s Email & Server Web of Lies William Sapphire (NYT): “Hillary Clinton is a congenital liar.” This was borne out in FBI Director Comey’s testimony before Congress – especially Trey Gowdy’s questioning that directly contrasted several of her false claims about her emails and servers to the contradictory findings of the FBI investigation.   Despite all the evidence of “extreme carelessness” at least, the FBI recommendation to the Justice Dept. was to not recommend indictment.  Supposedly “gross negligence” is the legal standard (outside of intentional misconduct).  Sounds like a fine nuance, if any, between extreme carelessness & gross negligence.  Comey said there was no evidence they knew what they were doing was wrong.  But as the saying goes, ignorance of the law is no excuse, and the standard is gross negligence, which doesn’t require the knowledge/intent.  And she was properly briefe...
