Trump declares crackdown on riots and looting, walks to fire-damaged historic St. John’s Church

Trump declares crackdown on riots and looting, walks to fire-damaged historic St. John’s Church

Promises to use “all available federal resources” if Governors fail to call out the National Guard.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtIJXYaYVO8

Donald Trump just gave one of the strongest speeches of his career.

He promised to protect peaceful protesters and to seek justice for George Floyd, but demanded that Governors deploy the National Guard to stop the rioting, looting, and destruction of neighborhoods.

Trump said that if Governors did not act, he would invoke his federal authority to send in the National Guard and other military assets. He didn’t indicate which authority he was invoking, but contrary to popular belief, a president has fairly wide power to put down an insurrection.

I’ll post the transcript as soon as I can find it.

After the speech, Trump walked across Lafayette Park, the scene of violent riots and assaults on Secret Service officers protecting the White House, to historic St. John’s Church, which suffered fire damage during the riots.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtIJXYaYVO8

Not surprisingly, the media hated the speech, almost in unison complaining that “peaceful protesters” had been cleared from Lafayette Park to make way for Trump to walk through the park.

But it appears people were given warning to leave, and the police moved in only against those who didn’t move.

Great speech. I don’t know what Ms. Maddow was watching – he didn’t yell anything.

As an aside, when he walked out and then again when he walked away I didn’t see a morbidly obese person. Nancy Pelosi is a [sex-act-adverb] {body-part].

I hope the fact that A.G. Barr didn’t have a tie on, means that he has been working long hours, principally so he become informed on who is behind the pallets of bricks, money, and antifa.

    Follow those bricks. Get the surveillance videos on the trucks and find out who provided the money and the bricks.

    Then prosecute them for crossing state lines and inciting insurrection. And try them in a state that has the death penalty.

      Yesterday they named some of what they’ve got: communications and coordination.

      Terror designation opens up a lot of surveillence. These particular funding, coordination, and agents provaceteur are neither smart nor disciplined enough to stay off FaceSpace, Twit, or their i-thingies.

      Monitoring needed to nroll funding webs is in place from the “wars” on “terror” and “drugs.”

      Not that I approve in principle, but in practice they’re gonna get the ubiquitous authoritarianism they’ve been shouting about. And they will have created it, not once, not twice, but thrice. They elected him. They came at him with the surveillance n enforcement apparat of the whole swamp. And now, they blew up the country on his watch.

    But she is good for a lewinsky.

Trump holding a Bible and standing in front of a church…he knows exactly what he is doing. It’s like holding a cross and wreath of garlic in front of a vampire.

What can he do given posse comatatus?

In Kayleigh’s Press Conference earlier she indicated using the Insurrection Act if necessary. She hedged a bit because the President was going to speaking after her Presser.

His walk to the church reminded me of reading about Lincoln walking into Richmond before the end of the Civil War. It was that kind of moment. It brought to mind the actions of Churchill during the Battle of Brittan with him touring various bomb sites, and even going on rooftops to watch.

To think some clown “journalist” asked about where President Trump was and why he was “hiding in his bunker”, why he hadn’t made a public statement on the “protests”. This even thought POTUS had made several statements over the weekend, and the reason why he was moved to the bunker was because of the riots happening in DC, the Church being burned right near the WH.

Madcow and Reid are among the absolute worst opinionists on TV. How can they possibly be keeping their jobs with how wrong they have been continually for the last few years? Their brand of “journalism” is to inflame people over lies they tell.

There are peaceful protests, if any of them can really be called peaceful, but at least they aren’t violent. Yet the propagandist Media are calling the rioters peaceful. While we see elderly being beaten up, fires being set, looting, police backing away from the violence. Hundreds of businesses, many of which are owned by minorities have been destroyed in protest of what happened to George Floyd, how is this any means of justice to destroy the lives of other blacks?

On top of this, the propagandist Media is claiming these riots are being done by White Supremacists, yet Hollywood and Biden campaign members and leftists are contributing to a defense fund for those arrested in these riots. Does that mean the left are supporting White Supremacists? If not, how can they keep claiming it is not Antifa who is behind the riots? Why are the left so up in arms about Antifa being declared a Domestic Terrorist organization given it is well known they are part of the rioting, and are directing things to go violent?

If the police in these cities armed their officers with shotguns loaded with rock salt, and used tear gas, the riots would quiet down pretty quickly. You don’t cower to these thugs who are burning down these cities over someone they are just using as an excuse to riot and steal things.

    A family friend’s wife on Facebook was informing me that antifa simply means antifascist and there is no movement or organization. Of course she also sees white supremacists and people who want all gays to be forced into conversion therapy behind every tree.

    I expect to be blocked any day because I pointed out that Antifa’s behaviour was the same as the black and brown shirts of Mussolini and Hitler.

After Biden’s spokesman called Trump a member of the KKK, not surprising to see Harris’s putrid reaction the Trumps words and deeds. Not just for political gain anymore.

Add to it the professors, media, actors, filled with hate and seeking discord while pretending the opposite, and the sheep that follow then, ignorant to the corruption of their leaders, so easily indoctrinated by people that are the most privileged yet speak for the least privileged.

A sadder lot to lead things could not be found, except perhaps in pompous Europe.

They want to overthrow the president, yet can’t cite the actual wrongs, let alone crimes. It shows they are the ones not committed to democracy or American republicanism, which is like no other.

They are bringing the battle, but perhaps overestimate the power of their selves and their ideas. One can see they will hoodwink ala Obama, but their utter corruption and tolerance of depravity will hopefully be recognized by fair minded Americans and they will be tossed away for a very long time.

TheOldZombie | June 1, 2020 at 9:22 pm

Good speech. Excellent photo op going to the church. Should have also gone to the Lincoln Memorial but that may have been pushing it.

But it’s time to put down the riots. If like he said the state and cities won’t do it than he needs to drop in the Marines and Army. They can do it.

And they have to arrest the agitators, as many as they can get their hands on, from Antifa. Roll up as many as they can and flip as many as they can to go after the money people and the people who provide support behind the scenes. Like Soros. Yeah I said his name but out of all the people in this world I do believe he is helping out Antifa from behind the scenes.

Trump gave a good speech. That’s really all he should do at this point. Beyond that, what Trump can do, or more accurately, what Barr can do if all of this really bothers them, is wait quietly until the dust settles, then hunt down the trouble-makers and jam them all up on federal charges. I doubt that’s going to happen. Once the dust settles, nobody gives a shart, really. And in some respects, I would rather see this handled in state criminal courts anyways.

In the meantime, let the governors worry about the immediate civil unrest. That’s really their job. I believe in Federalism, and this is just as it should be. If the governors are serious about it, they can call in the National Guard. If they don’t want to deal with it, then let them be judged later at the ballot box.

THE WALK

BBC world news radio devoted the morning reporting that Trump was hiding in the White House bunker.

BBC also looped an audio clip of someone shouting “united we stand, divided we fall!” to rousing cheers. They played it over and over again throughout the weekend.

BBC wanted to make it seem like Trump’s ‘My Pet Goat’ moment of cowardice.

The nation-wide rioting is not spontaneous. It is organized.

Most of the people in the streets are useful idiots and have no idea what’s going on. They want “justice”? What would it be? A world where nothing bad ever happens? It’s impossible.

The president and parts of the federal government that are loyal to America must neutralize the funders and organizers of the insurrection. With that done, the useful idiots can easily be dispersed and prosecuted where appropriate.

FUNNY how when religious Jews in Brooklyn gets butchered by black people, these hypocritcal pious assholes crying now don’t make a peep.

That said: welcome to the civil war.

In summary: this is a war on Christianity and Judaism. The left and Islamists have hijacked our schools and created a generation of monsters. The ChiComms have bribed half of them. The goal: wipe our Christianity and Judaism, promote Islam (after all, they hate Christians and Jews), and use ghetto kids to destroy and terrorize.

In the end, the Islamists will murder their dumbass useful idiots, and both black and whites will be subservient unless they convert.

Quite a plan. And it’s working. Obama was supposed to be the final step. Hillary clinton BLEW IT!

Stay strong, stay confident, keep your powder dry, and don’t back down from violence. (In the end, street sh*t are punks.)

Unfortately, in every civil war, people die and leaders go to prison. The idead being more of them die than us.

The street soldiers will go back to their shitty lives, the Antifa white kids will be in jail or shot dead.

And we will go back to our Judeo-Christian society with much more secure in our way of life before we became boehnerized.

    Dantzig93101 in reply to TheFineReport.com. | June 2, 2020 at 1:13 am

    War should be avoided if it is reasonably possible to do so. The insurrection and attempted coup have been engineered and funded by a relatively small number of people, all of whom are or can be identified. They must be neutralized, as they like to say, BAMN.

    I do see a pattern over the last six months, though I cannot be sure it reflects anyone’s conscious plan.

    After the impeachment failed, people with influence fomented mass panic about the Covid-19 virus, which is nasty but not nasty enough to justify wrecking the economy and taking away people’s rights.

    Then as the Covid panic was abating and people tried to recover their lives and businesses, we got a Great Morality Play. The producers first tried it with “The Jogger,” but that story didn’t work. So they waited, knowing that in a country of 330+ million people, some inflammatory video would come along for them to hype. And out of Minneapolis it came. Now we’re getting the second half of a one-two punch designed to cripple America even further, if not put it down for good.

    I don’t think that the Chinese are behind it, but if they were, they couldn’t do anything more than our domestic fifth columnists are doing. Special shout-outs to the news media and all of our wonderful Hollywood friends. We won’t forget.

Absolutely fucking magnificent!

MSM lying as usual.

The speech was about 7 and a half minutes. He said that he is going to stop the violence now, and as he said it, you could hear the explosions in the background.
He did not clear the protest to make a photo op.
He made the photo op to show everybody that he did indeed take back the streets, that he means business. It was a powerful statement.

We have been saying for years that the left is willing to burn down the country if that’s what it takes, and here we are. Don’t believe for a quarter of a second that any of this is spontaneous, or is about George Floyd.
The elections are around the corner and the left doesn’t have a candidate that can defeat Trump.
Forget the damn polls, everybody knows they are lies. They know Trump will kick Biden’s arse, and desperation is kicking in. They are trying to burn down the country to try to stop Trump’s second term.

I think the assassination, or attempted assassination, of a major political figure might do it.

Or, Trump sending in the military to someplace like New York, where the government is utterly failing to provide meaningful security, and Governor Cuomoron responded by calling for armed resistance.

Or, enough citizen vigilante groups forming in places where the leftist government wont let the police maintain law and order, and the police then clamping down on said vigilante groups, while continuing to let the looters do their thing.

    Sometimes it’s hard to see the forest for the trees. But it’s taken off, alright. This goes straight up to the top of the democrat elite, including leftist billionares.

      I’ve done some informal ‘polling’ among city dwellers (white city dwellers, including Christans and Jews), and almost 80 percent of them are XiNN indoctrinated and they actually believe that right wing extremists are behind a lot of the violence.

      That is more scary than the violence.

      That said, we must abandon the rats of the GOP: they have led us off a cliff. It’s too bad we can’t strap each one of them to the front of police cars doing battle on the streets, Road Warrior style.

Keith Feldman
@NBCproducer

Looters are literally pulling up in nice cars and cleaning out stores in Soho.

Antifa, supporter and thereby member NYC Mayor DeBlasio ordered NYC police to stand down and allow the RAPE of New York.

All of these invented phrases of the left mean something other than what the words would seem to indicate. ‘Social justice’ is unjust. ‘Fair share’ means someone paying a disproportionate share. ‘Peaceful protestors’ means ‘politically convenient rioters’.

Arm up. Stock up. Load test the generator and have gasoline on hand.
.

With that little walk through the park, Trump just picked up several million more votes. Live with that, all of you who sympathize with rioters and arsonists.

There is ample precedent for presidential intervention when local authorities are unable or unwilling to maintain law and order–1) Grover Cleaveland’ssendinf federal troops in the railroad workers strike–which was explicitly upheld by the Supreme Court; 2) Eisenhower’s
federalization of the Arkansas national guard in the Little Rock school crisis.
Most important, the time is long past for use of lethal force. What Americans have learned once again–Democratic politicians will give their voters free rein to riot, burn, kill.

Schumer and Pelosi begifted us with their usual divisive drivel
