The Doomsday Clock Ticks Loudly

“Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.”

 - J. Robert Oppenheimer's words spoken as he witnessed the first detonation of a nuclear weapon on July 16, 1945.*

Over the past few months I've briefly mentioned in some op-eds and on Craig Andresen and my “Right Side Patriots Radio” show about how the world's top three “superpowers”...the United States, Russia, and China... need to join together to help in calming down the still escalating tensions that have become the mainstay of today's international political discourse, especially in regards to Iran and its widely dispersed, terrorist driven, proxy armies. And why is such an alliance needed now more then ever before...because without it, it's only a matter of time before any given nation or rouge operatives in possession of nuclear weapons decides to take matters into their own hands.

Simply, a resetting of the “Doomsday Clock” needs to happen post haste for there are way too many “bad actors”...most especially the mullahs in Iran...still calling the ever volatile “geopolitical” shots. How so? For starters it's important to remember that while the United States is the world’s most powerful nation with the most advanced overall military capabilities to date, Putin's Russia is right behind in the number two position, and what some don't know is that they actually possess more nuclear weapons than we do...as in 5,580 armed nuclear missiles with 1,710 of them being deployed, to our 5,044 and 1,670 nukes respectively. And while this leaves China behind in third place not to be forgotten is that China has the largest numbers manpower wise...as in two million active duty military personnel...in addition to their having 500 armed nukes with 24 of them being deployed, plus the fact that they do have the world's largest economy no matter that we have a higher per capital GDP. And when the economic factors are melded into China's still formidable military capabilities, one can see why we three nations must learn to work together before the “doomsday clock” hits zero.

And so with Russia’s increasing dependence on Chinese imports, their respective leaders are getting a wee bit too close for our comfort as what can become a “locked in stone” economic and military alliance between these two nations could well propel that alliance...what some are calling an “axis of power”...into a jointly held number one “superpower” position. Not good folks, not good at all nor is the fact that with the numbers I just stated, leads one to wonder why did we...as in the world leaders...allow the proliferation of nuclear weapons to reach the numbers that it did for the reality is that those numbers dictate that we are no longer talking just about a possible nuclear war between a few nations, but about the total destruction of planet Earth, our collective home.

So how do we sever, if you will, what seems to be a still growing and dangerous Russia/China love fest or what President Trump has rightfully said is “Russia and China uniting.” Simply, the three “superpower” nations must, for the sake of the world, put their internal politics and personal hatreds aside and start looking at the much larger global picture, for the fact remains, whether for better or worse, that we are indeed all in this together.

Besides, with the U.S., Russia, and China forming what would then be known as the “superpower alliance”...said “alliance” could become if not the key catalyst for lasting peace per se, at least it could be the touch off point that leads to some semblance of global “stability”...including “stability” of the economic kind. And with said “stability” in place we would see world economics actually starting to right itself on its own, thus helping to end what many still see as the “inequities” between rich and poor nations, the very thing that at times tends to be one of the main reasons for war.

And here let me state that I am not looking at the situation we're all facing through rose colored glasses, but through the tangible reality that encompasses both common sense and logic, for the fact is that if we stay the course that we're now on it will be too late to reset the always ticking “doomsday clock.”

"The time has come now, when man must give up war. It is no longer rational to solve international problems by resorting to war." - so said Albert Einstein shortly after the atomic bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945.

So knowing this, the all important question now becomes, how do we get the United States, Russia, and China to put aside their differences and talk of war, and actually form the aforementioned “superpower alliance?”

First, I would think that above all else we must be willing to accept the similarities between our three nations as being more important than are our political and ideological differences. And what are some of said similarities? To start with, we, Russia, and China want to expand our international influence along with our trade options while at the same time hoping to increase communication and much needed transparency between our nations through the art of diplomacy.

Second, the governments of our respective nations must openly acknowledge that war itself, even for the victor can, at times, come with a caveat...a caveat that actually negates ones victory by turning what was physical success into unsustainable, costly, and long term economic dependency for both sides.

Third, while the U.S., Russia, and China also want to generate economic growth and prosperity at home, President Trump, Vladimir Putin, and Xi Jinping must know that securing economic growth alone is not necessarily the only conduit for peace because war itself tends to be the number one drainer of what was a given country's economic success.

Fourth, the “superpowers” must understand that any sanctions imposed are but one side's short term fix that unfortunately helps to mask the real problem(s) at hand.

Fifth, and lastly, while we know that for some nations western style democracy...as we deem said democracy to be...is not now nor will it ever be the “one size fits all solution” to their given country's problems for certain core ideologies and beliefs have been ingrained too deeply within that country's societal and governing norms to suddenly be replaced by concepts as foreign to them as their concepts are to us. But that does not mean we cannot accept those differences...minus the inclusion or acceptance of physical violence of course...while the “superpower alliance” moves forward in its “stabilization” endeavors to eventually help secure a lasting peace.

In other words, with what would be the combined power of the United States, Russia, and China working together as one cohesive unit the chance for peace and “stability” increases ten fold for few nations would be willing to take on such a triad of power...few nations except for Iran that is. But why would Iran do so...simply because the world's largest sponsor of terrorism believes they are fighting a “Holy War” against not only the West but against all non believers. Remember, uncontrolled religious fervor of any kind is seen by its followers as both a justification for war and for unbridled violence, thus making “Holy Wars” particularly dangerous, destructive, and hard to squelch. And this is the type of war Iran's mullahs are fighting...this is the war the“superpower alliance” would be fighting against whether at this point in time they would be willing to admit it or not.

 

“The greatest threat facing humanity is a radical Islamist regime meeting up with nuclear weapons.” - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's words of truth first spoken on July 11, 2010.

 

And so here it's important to remember that while Russia and Iran have currently solidified their military and their political ties to some degree, there are caveats attached to those ties. First, Putin's primary reason for catering to the mullahs revolved around Russia's flaying economy, and its desperate need for Iranian oil. And second, it was because Putin was desperate to find any means by which to circumvent the imposed Western sanctions. But, if you were to take away Russia's need to depend on Iran for its oil...say with the U.S. selling Russia oil at a much lower price than Iran ever could while also lifting some of the sanctions...with our selling oil to Russia actually becoming the first step...then Russia having ties to Iran would actually become a political liability to them, Why so...because any country having ties to the world's leading sponsor of terrorism is seen as a willing obstacle to peace.

Simply, it not only makes economic sense for Russia to be part of the “superpower alliance,” but it makes sense logistically as well. How so...because Russia...because Vladimir Putin...knows well that a nuclear armed Iran would not only change the delicate balance of power and influence in the Middle East, but would see Russia's already huge investment...militarily and monetarily wise...in the area basically being either neutralized, negated, or replaced.

And as for China, who in their eyes sill considers itself to be “non-interventionist in nature,” they would benefit from such an “alliance” because with their current economy actually thriving on dealing with countries in conflict, their being in said “alliance” would actually not cause injury to China's own interests, but would actually see their own economy growing even stronger than it would by either standing alone or with a nuclear armed and ever so dangerous Iran. After all, self preservation does trump both world opinion and misplaced political ideologies.

And here it's important to know that war itself, sadly, is part of human nature...man's history itself proves that to be true...but there is a difference between a war and possible total nuclear annihilation. And so, at this point in time, we do need to take a step back and start focusing on our aforementioned similarities and common grounds, and less on our differences and what are usually indoctrinated hatreds.

So the only way to speed that process up, in my opinion, is for a “superpower alliance” to remove from the world discourse those whose mission is to perpetrate hate and violence as the means to their personally decided end. Countries like Iran, from which most of the hate and violence in today's world originates from, must either institute a change in leadership on their own or face the consequences of nations united together who will do it for them. And while nuclear weapons are not needed to do so, the threat of using them is. And that alone should wake up those still slumbering in their own brand of “nuclear winter” delusions.

Always remember, the words of Albert Einstein who wisely stated that, “I don't know how World War III will be fought, but I can tell you what they will fight the fourth World War with — sticks and stones.”...that is if anyone is left alive to throw them. Case closed.

Op-ed: 
Those Railroading the Police

By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots on American Political Radio 

 

Simply...I'm sick of Black Lives Matter...I'm sick of Antifa...I'm sick of Democrats not only condoning those folks most reprehensible of behaviors but egging them on as well. I'm sick of miscreants and thugs thinking that what's ours is theirs and that it's free for their taking. I'm sick of the police being deemed the enemy while black malcontents and criminal sorts are hailed as victims after the media morphs them into saints. I'm sick of the violence, the mayhem, the rioting, the looting, the arson, and the killing, but most of all I'm sick and tired of what should be law-abiding elected officials allowing these thugs to get away with it all while tying police hands behind their backs, thus making the police the perfect "fall guy" for their duplicity. 

I want my America back. I want the rule of law returned to America's streets, something surely now missing, as Democrat mayors and governors have indeed sanctioned the ongoing violence and free for all. And I want those very same mayors and governors arrested and charged with insurrection for both their actions and inactions as they are not only directly responsible for letting this mayhem continue on but are in violation of the very oath of office each and every one of them took. 
 

“I (Governor__________) do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of __________against all enemies foreign and domestic, that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of __________.”
 

“I solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support the Constitution of the United States, and the Constitution of the State of __________, (and the Charter of the City of __________), and that I will faithfully discharge the duties of the office of (mayor of the City of __________) to the best of my ability.” 

Two oaths of office, the governor's oath and the mayor's oath, both seemingly sworn to without any meaning or merit for now in Democrat cities and states across America these oaths are neither worth the paper they're written on nor are they words upheld once spewed for they're but words spoken with fingers crossed behind one's back. And while both oaths clearly state that, “I will support the Constitution of the United States,” neither oath has been upheld in those cities and states still experiencing ongoing rioting and mayhem...ongoing almost on a daily/nightly basis...ongoing in what has turned into unabashed bloodlust. And now it's also the bloodlust that these Democrat elected officials look away from for their silence actually encourages the BLM and Antifa sorts to continue on unabated as it meets their political agenda while fueling on their hatred for President Trump...and they're doing so while at the same time "railroading" the police.

And it's their very unwillingness to even try to stop the mayhem and escalating violence that does make these mayors and governors as guilty of insurrection as those who are now physically doing the burning, looting, and rioting are, for we know well that while President Trump has offered to send in the feds to help restore “law and order,” that offer of help has resulted in these Democrat governors and mayors collectively spewing a resounding, “no.” And by this collective “no” what these most miserable of elected officials have done is send three powerful messages to both their constituents and to the nation-at-large...messages that no elected official should ever dare send. 

And the first message is that they actually approve of or at least will remain silent to all the destruction the rioters have caused; with the second message being that they don't give a damn about breaching the oath of office they took. And the most unsettling message of all is that these governors and mayors enjoy relishing in their showing of utter contempt for the Constitution itself...after all their now and forever sainted leader, Barack HUSSEIN Obama, has deemed the Constitution to be but an outdated document in major need of an overhaul of the socialist kind. It's all about appearances for these folks...appearances coupled with spewing calculatingly divisive rhetoric in the hope that it will play well with the Democrat masses... knowingly false rhetoric that the police, especialy white male police officers, are the root cause of all our nation's current racial woes. 

But how do these Democrat governors and mayors actually show both contempt for and their being in violation of the Constitution? For the answer to both of those questions one just has to look at the First Amendment which states, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances,” and in today's anything but peaceful political climate these eight words stand out above all else, “the right of the people to peaceably assemble.” 

And to that affect know that protesters...even those of the vile BLM and Antifa kind...have the constitutionally given right to freely speak their minds and “to petition the Government for a redress of grievances,” but what they don't have is the legal right to assemble in an “unpeaceable” manner. And when they do so law enforcement...as in the police...have every right to step in and break up those “unpeaceably” assembling folks...and the police should be supported in this by those in power...as in the governors of states and the mayors of cities now still in the throes of such antics. 

Police hands that must never be tied with orders to “stand down” are now being forced to do just that as they're being portrayed as the enemy while the rioters, miscreants, and thugs are deemed to be heroes no matter that the police are simply upholding the oath of office they took, as in to support the Constitution of the United States, their state, and the laws of their agency's jurisdiction. In fact, those officers sworn in actually have the responsibility to “ensure the safety and quality of life” of the residents in the communities they serve. But sadly, what is happening now is that the mayors of cities in turmoil are not allowing the police to uphold the oath they took...and that itself is a crime these Democrat mayors and governors must be called to task for. 

And with police hands continuing to be tied I'll go even one step further and say that a line has now been crossed into what is called “sedition”...something these Democrat governors and mayors are surely guilty of to one degree or another. How so? With sedition encompassing both speech and actions that tend towards insurrection against the “established order”...in this case said actions are against both the government itself as well as the “rule of law”...and then couple that with incitement of violence against “established authority”...“authority” as in the police...the very folks tasked with seeing that “We the People” uphold the law... sedition as per the law becomes a charge these governors and mayors must now also answer for. 

But why...because with their willingness to turn a blind-eye to the riots and mayhem going on in their cities, these shameful excuses of elected officials are actually encouraging and helping to promote both rebellion and violence against the government, which in and of itself also borders on treason, if you ask me. 

Oh what a tangled and convoluted web these Democrats have weaved and it now seems to be up to President Trump to try to unravel the mess...or at least present a strong enough case as to why our police must not now or ever be defunded let alone disbanded...these Democrat mayors and governors be damned. And that comes back full circle to my being not merely sick but outright disgusted by these very folks who are helping to turn the police into the enemy via those in the media who are more than willing to help the Democrats bring America to her knees. After all, they dare not allow the truth to be told as to how the “railroading” of our nation's police was the long awaited catalyst needed to set off all we've been privy to...as in the BLM and Antifa miscreants and thugs not only holding sway over America's streets, but actually holding the rest of us hostage with the police unable to “save the day.”  

Saying I'm sick of this maliciously orchestrated vendetta against the police put's it mildly...saying I'm seething is now more to the point...and the video below of an incident in the Bronx brings that point home.

 

And all we're now bearing witness to started with the death of George Floyd coupled with a long set agenda of hate that had to met within a certain time frame. And it was the time frame itself that allowed the police to become the lynch pin of all that was to follow...as in the police were in the right place at the right time thus making them easy targets for “railroading.” And when a white officer's knee was placed on a black criminal's neck...when said incident was videoed...the long awaiting catalyst for anarchy and insurrection was set in motion within the much needed pre-November election time frame.

And while we're all familiar with the specifics of said scenario...whether those specifics be truth or just outright lies...you can see that scenario and judge its merits or lack thereof for yourself in our Right Side Patriots Investigative Report: 'Derek Chauvin Should Be Exonerated'...know that the truth about a thug turned into a saint is again being manipulated for the sole purpose of overvilifying the police even more. And why...because without the police being the villain the entire BLM and Anifa rhetoric gets exposed for the lie that it is...along with the lie that Officer Derek Chauvin murdered George Floyd with his knee. 

I'm sick of the lies especially when the liars themselves were once thought of as heroes...but no more.

These are the medical examiner's exact words in the official Hennepin County Medical Examiners Report... “Layer by layer dissection of the anterior strap muscles of the neck discloses no areas of contusion or hemorrhage within the musculature. The thyroid cartilage and hyoid bone are intact. The larynx is lined by intact mucosa. The thyroid is symmetric and red-brown, without cystic or nodular change. The tongue is free of bite marks, hemorrhage, or other injuries. The cervical spinal column is palpably stable and free of hemorrhage.”  

This simply translates into meaning that Officer Derek Chauvin's knee, while obviously placed on George Floyd's neck, in no way exerted enough pressure to have killed him for there were no compression wounds on Floyd's neck; no breaking or tearing of any cartilage or of any neck bones including the critical hyoid bone; no damage to the neck's portion of the spinal column, nothing whatsoever to indicate what would be strangulation via knee...nothing to indicate murder. 

And when you add in the 55 mostly illicit drugs circulating through George Floyd's body...drugs that can slow down and/or arrest one's breathing...the true cause of death becomes a self-inflicted drug overdose. And while the timing of Floyd's death with a knee on his neck adding drama to the mix, that drama has now been intensified into all out lies what with changes being made to medical facts all in an effort to support a story that is not only bad fiction at best but fiction that's driving the entire BLM hateful rhetoric forward. And it's doing so while an innocent man and all who wear the badge are being “railroaded” into becoming the bad guys in order to meet the Democrats political agenda.

So with killer drugs like fentanyl now being downplayed as a possible cause of death with the claim that the “tremendous amount of fentanyl found in George Floyd's system can have vastly different effects on different people,” no matter that numerous drugs in this same class and worse were also found in his system...a knee doing no damage whatsoever to the man's neck has been deemed the official murder weapon...the now officially stated cause of George Floyd's death.

And the anger I now feel for Hennepin County's chief medical examiner Dr. Andrew Baker and former New York City chief medical examiner Dr. Michael Baden, who performed an independent autopsy at the request of George Floyd’s family, saying that Floyd's death was a homicide, proves to me that even the best and seemingly most altruistic of people can be bought...maybe not for money but to help meet the goals of a political agenda that once unleashed cannot be reigned back in. And why not be reigned back in...because to do so would cause heads to roll, arrests to be made, charges to be filed, and history itself to be changed.

Better to let the lies be perceived as truth than for truth to expose the guilty, for in this case if the guilty were exposed the entire Democrat party goes down before the November election. Better to sacrifice not only Officer Derek Chauvin but all of America's police, after all the narrative is now so erroneously embedded as fact that to backtrack would cause even more chaos in the streets as the liars scream cover-up and more blood is shed. And if that doesn't make you, my dear readers, as mad as it makes me, I don't know what will.

Op-ed:
Morphing A Sinner Into A Media Saint
By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots on Right Side Patriots Radio

The way he died was wrong...dying prone on Minneapolis' mean streets with an officer's knee pressed into his neck.

And so his casket was resplendent in polished gold most likely lined in satin and silk...a casket that would make even King Midas proud...while his portrait hung behind mimicking the eyes of a preacher diligently watching over his flock. And of course the media was there to cover it all making sure it would not only be the top news story of that day but of many days to follow, while in California the sheeple were “taking a knee” with their hands held high begging for forgiveness for not only sins they never committed but for simply having been born white.

And yet the way he died was wrong...so very wrong.

But this wrong does not mean that I will ever apologize for my being born white nor will I ever apologize to those whose ancestors were slaves in the centuries before I was born. And know I am not a racist just because I speak out against people of any color who loot, steal, and set buildings on fire, and I will continue to do so no matter that today’s circumstances see most of those folks behaving badly being black.

And yet the fact remains that this black man should not have died the way that he did.

I'm simply an American patriot who abhors the actions of those behaving badly being treated like they're heroes. I abhor certain minorities dictating their self-perceived rights and wrongs to the majority, and I especially abhor when sinners are morphed into saints solely to perpetrate the Democrat party's America-hating agenda.

And whether one is black or one is white, just as importantly is the fact that those deemed responsible for this black man’s death will never see a fair trial. Instead, thanks to the race-baiters, the haters, and their media cohorts, the white cops will be thrown into the sacrificial fire, for the court of public opinion now has now become one's judge, jury, and executioner if you will, trumping America’s legal premise of innocent until proven guilty.

But no matter the color of one's skin no one should die the way this man did.

Now imagine if you will a man being pulled out of the driver's side of his own car; a man high on methamphetamine and fentanyl; a man ready to drive off high as a kite not caring about those he might injure or even kill; a man who had just tried to purchase cigarettes with money he knew was counterfeit...but still he should not have died the way that he did.

Imagine that very man having both a criminal and a drug record going back decades. And it was a record showing his latest release being in 2014 after having served five years in a Houston, Texas prison after being found guilty of a first degree felony charge in 2009, a charge relating to his 2007 arrest for assault and armed robbery...a robbery where the man plead guilty to forcibly entering a woman’s home while trying to pass himself off as a government employee, pointing a gun at her stomach, and then searching the home for drugs, jewelry, and money. And the record also shows this same man being sentenced back in December 2005 to 10 months in jail for being in possession of cocaine; being sentenced to eight months for the same offense back in October 2002; as well as serving 30 days in jail for criminal trespassing again in 2002 after having been released from jail for theft in August 1998. 

An upstanding citizen I think not no matter the media’s claim that the man had started on the road to a new life, for the man on this his last day of life, was clearly hopped up on drugs and had just committed yet another crime.

But did even this mean that the man should have died like he did...no. And did his death mean that a sinner...a man with a criminal record...should now be portrayed as a saint? No, it did not, but the color of the man's skin did surely allow the mainstream liberal media to morph what should have stayed a local police issue and turn it into a war...a war played out in American cities...a war between black and white...a war between good and bad guys...a war between blacks and the police.

The color of his skin allowed the man...allowed George Floyd...to see the media hiding his criminal past as his untimely death was needed to become the catalyst for all that came after...the riots, the looting, the arson, and the all out destruction...destruction done because this one black man died by the knee of one white cop. And of course the media never mentioned in their public discourse the number of innocent white people who have died by the hand of black thugs.

So while the narrative is well known by now of the who, what, where, why, and how of this one man’s demise, here I will speak of another narrative...a narrative the media has dared to address...a narrative of maybes not of conspiracies, for conspiracies are fabricated nonsense while maybes might be the actual truth.

So now let’s start at the beginning by looking at the facts unemotionally and straight forwardly. George Floyd...a 6’7” giant of a man...was pulled from his car after he tried to make a cigarette purchase with a counterfeit $20 bill. The officers who went over to the car found Floyd sitting in the driver’s seat high as a kite ready to start the engine and pull out into traffic...a driver actually found to have methamphetamine and fentanyl in his system as per the official autopsy report...a driver under the influence who when driving could have caused the deaths of innocent folks. But did Mr. Floyd go peacefully with the police which would have been the right thing to do...no...he was fighting being pulled out of his car both verbally and physically until cuffed, with his gait while walking showing someone high on something.

Now here it must be noted that first, George Floyd at one time worked with Officer Derick Chauven, the cop charged with his murder, with both being security guards/bouncers at the same restaurant/club and second, George Floyd tested positive for COVID-19 at the end of April but was not symptomatic at that time. And we also know that he continued to go out in public spreading the virus around, and know that one does not need to be symptomatic to pass the virus to others.

And with that said why did it really take multiple officers to get this one man out of his car, and why when trying to put Floyd into the police car was there obviously some kind of altercation that required three officers to get involved?

And please, while viewing the video below ignore the talking head's commentary especially regarding the claustrophobia remark as George Floyd drove a small car.

But no matter what the circumstances be George Floyd did not deserve to die in the manner that he did...gasping for air with a knee pressed deep into his neck.

So where do we go from here as anti-police protests are spreading nationwide; as police are being prevented from doing their jobs; as rioters, looters, and arsonists are now being given a free pass to do what they will with little to no fear of being arrested let alone facing reprisal? Simply, we must fight back with the truth, whether some find it ugly or not, that while George Floyd's death did not have to be neither did all the carnage this one man's demise has caused. Am I sorry he died...of course...especially in the manner that he did. Do I grieve for him...not really...for the man depicted as a saint was anything but. Instead I grieve for those who lost their businesses, their livelihoods, and in some cases even their very lives...77-year old retired St. Louis Police Captain and Municipal Chief David Dorn shot to death by looters quickly comes to mind...as well as for American cities forever scarred in George Floyd's name.

And I also grieve for those black Americans who have been bamboozled into thinking that they are second class citizens by the very party that put them in physical chains years ago and who keeps them in mental chains even today. And I grieve for the majority of black Americans who have worked so hard to negate old stereotypes that have now sadly come back to haunt.

And know that no amount of placating and no amount of laws passed will change the hearts of those who hate, at least not as long as the supposed victims of their hate continue to allow themselves to be spurred on to violence by the very party actually perpetrating all the hate...the Democrat party...the same party perpetrating the lie that systemic racism exists in America today. It does not, for the fact is that more blacks are killed by their own black brothers than by the police. And as for the call to disband and defund police departments across America...“We don't want no more po-lice” they say...what these folks are actually asking for is a lawless America where anything goes and where everything is free for their taking...and that's something that will never happen.

But to that affect House Speaker Nancy Pelosi will soon be unveiling a police reform bill after a few key House Republicans signaled their willingness to work with Democrats regarding putting together a “comprehensive package” to “deal with the use of excessive force and racial profiling by the police.” Translation: Sellout Republicans too afraid of black backlash to stand up for our police are now willing to throw all this nation's good officers under the bus because a few bad officers killed one black man...a black man who, if truth be told, had just behaved badly. Remember, the store's owner had called the police because an “appearing to be agitated” man...George Floyd...had just tried to make a purchase with a counterfeit $20 bill.

Simply, George Floyd's skin color had nothing to do with his arrest until the Democrats and their media cohorts twisted it to make it so...twisted it just to stir up the malcontents of numerous skin colors...twisted it to push forward their political agenda. And yet the fact remains that no one should die the way this man did....with an officer's knee pushing down hard on his neck and with two other officers pushing down on his back. “I can't breathe,” were George Floyd's last words and for that the officers involved in his death need to be punished, but it seems a fair trial might not be in their future.

And lastly, as for George Floyd, may he Rest in Peace and may justice be served. His life mattered...as do all lives matter. And may he be remembered not just as the catalyst for all the destruction done in his name, but instead as the first step in the building of bridges between today's law enforcement and America's black communities for only then will his death not have been in vain.
