In Colorado, the Aurora Police Department pleaded with protesters to “please remain peaceful,” which did nothing to stop rioters from carrying out acts of violence.
“The protestors are no longer peaceful as they are now throwing objects, shining lasers, and shooting large fireworks at officers,” the department tweeted. “We now have protestors that have broken windows to the courthouse and are inside of the building, attempting to start fires.”

“The protestors have torn down the wooden window coverings and are using them as shields,” the department added. “Others are still breaking windows on the courthouse and attempting to get inside of the building. Protestors need to leave the area or you are subject to arrest.”

Chicago’s Mayor Lori Lightfoot and President Donald Trump agreed, on Thursday, to bring federal agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF); the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA); and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) into a partnership with the city’s crime control efforts to help stem the bloodshed that has rocked Chicago since late May, when coronavirus-related lockdown measures were lifted.
Code-named “Operation Legend” after 4-year-old LeGend Taliferro who was killed in the ongoing violence in Kansas City, Missouri, last month, the initiative is designed “to fight the sudden surge of violent crime” in many major cities, according to the Department of Justice.
After several days of heated back-and-forth with President Donald Trump and other federal officials — and after 15 mourners were wounded in a drive-by shooting at a funeral service on the city’s south side — Lightfoot begrudgingly agreed to allow Operation Legend to operate in Chicago, provided assigned agents assist Chicago police officials, rather than station themselves to aggressively defend federal property, as Customs and Border Patrol is doing in Portland, Oregon.

Although the virus has spread fast throughout the country, its threat was not enough to dissuade the government of the most-populous Indian state from conducting a mass tree-planting campaign along the banks of the river Ganges as part of its pledge to shade a third of the nation under tree cover by 2030.
The nation’s target acreage of 235 million acres would represent an area the size of Texas and New Mexico combined.
The planting was carried out last week by volunteers, nonprofit employees, government workers, and even lawmakers, all of whom maintained distance from each other and wore face masks to stop the possible spread of coronavirus.
“We are committed to increase the forest cover of Uttar Pradesh to over 15% of the total land area in next five years,” said the state’s chief minister, Yogi Adityanath, pictured above during the campaign’s inauguration ceremony.
“In today’s campaign, over 20 million trees will be planted at the banks of the Ganges river, which will help in keeping this mighty river clean.”
Many nations have targeted 2030 as the deadline for various sustainability-related goals, to coincide with the UN’s 18 Sustainable Development Goals designed to encourage nations to solve the world’s largest problems, such as poverty, hunger, pollution, access to clean water, education access, and more.
Mass tree plantings have been launched as an easy and inexpensive method of drawing carbon from the atmosphere, with hundreds of millions of trees being planted in countries around the world, including China, Pakistan, India, Madagascar, and the nations of the Sahel, especially Ethiopia and Senegal.

stillnessinthestorm--2020-07-27--Civil Rights Activists Fire Back at Portland Protesters: It’s No Longer About Black Lives

( Emily Zanotti ) A number of civil rights leaders , including the head of Portland , Oregon ’ s local branch of the NAACP , Rev .
E.D .
Mondainé , are calling out the mostly white demonstrations in the city — increasingly violent protests that have now gone on for nearly two months .
“ The focus has been moved from where it is supposed to be and made to be a spectacle , a debacle , ” Mondainé told a group of protesters late last week , according to NBC News , pointing out that Portland ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Black Lives Matter ” behind .
Mondainé even accused protesters of leaving black Americans behind by shifting the focus to themselves and their confrontation with the Trump administration over the White House ’ s decision to deploy federal officials to help control the city ’ s nightly violence .
“ This is no new thing we ’ re experiencing .
We have seen this from the beginning of time , ” Mondainé said .
“ Four hundred years we have struggled as Black people in this nation .
We have been made to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the first that were affected.
” Mondainé has been vocal on the subject of Portland ’ s protests of late , even penning an op-ed in Saturday ’ s Washington Post denouncing the “ white spectacle ” of the city ’ s nightly riots .
“ Unfortunately , ‘ spectacle ’ is now the best way to describe Portland ’ s protests , ” Mondainé wrote .

(Emily Zanotti) A number of civil rights leaders, including the head of Portland, Oregon’s local branch of the NAACP, Rev. E.D. Mondainé, are calling out the mostly white demonstrations in the city — increasingly violent protests that have now gone on for nearly two months.

by Emily Zanotti, July 26th, 2020
“The focus has been moved from where it is supposed to be and made to be a spectacle, a debacle,” Mondainé told a group of protesters late last week, according to NBC News, pointing out that Portland’s demonstrations have long since left “Black Lives Matter” behind.
Mondainé even accused protesters of leaving black Americans behind by shifting the focus to themselves and their confrontation with the Trump administration over the White House’s decision to deploy federal officials to help control the city’s nightly violence.
“This is no new thing we’re experiencing. We have seen this from the beginning of time,” Mondainé said. “Four hundred years we have struggled as Black people in this nation. We have been made to be the last that were informed but the first that were affected.”
Mondainé has been vocal on the subject of Portland’s protests of late, even penning an op-ed in Saturday’s Washington Post denouncing the “white spectacle” of the city’s nightly riots.
“Unfortunately, ‘spectacle’ is now the best way to describe Portland’s protests,” Mondainé wrote. “Vandalizing government buildings and hurling projectiles at law enforcement draw attention — but how do these actions stop police from killing black people? What are Antifa and other leftist agitators achieving for the cause of black equality?”

He pointed specifically to photos of a naked, white woman doing yoga poses in front of a line of police, and of the Portland “Wall of Moms” that was, largely, a group of white women, scenes he said did little to move the ball forward on racial equality.
NBC News notes that most of the protesters squaring off with police and other law enforcement officials are, themselves, struggling with whether the demonstrations themselves are experiencing mission creep.
“The ongoing unrest, which started at the end of May following the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis, initially began as a series of demonstrations against racism and police brutality. After federal officers under the command of the Department of Homeland Security arrived to defend the Mark O. Hatfield U.S. Courthouse, they became the focus of protests,” the outlet notes. Lakayana Drury, the head of a Portland non-profit also told the mostly white protesters that they need to regroup and, perhaps, consider their own role in oppression. “I want us to remember why we’re here,” she said in a speech Thursday. “What’s happening downtown is not a Black issue. This is a battle between two white supremacy entities: the Trump administration and the local city of Portland.” Activists, of course, contend that they’re drawing attention to the Black Lives Matter cause, which is a step in the right direction. Regardless of criticism, it does not appear Portland’s protesters intend to end their demonstrations. Saturday night, police declared the scene a riot and deployed smoke bombs and other non-lethal methods of force to disperse the angry crowd.

Nadler’s remarks directly contradict video evidence that is widely available on social media and contradict what the Department of Homeland (DHS) says is happening in Portland.
“The violent situation Portland has witnessed for the past eight weeks continues with violent anarchists rioting on the streets as federal law enforcement officers work diligently and honorably to enforce federal law, defend federal property, and protect the lives of their fellow officers,” DHS said in a statement on Sunday. “As federal officers left the courthouse to respond to attacks on the fence, just like on previous nights they were met by rioters with hard projectiles, mortar style fireworks and lasers that can cause permanent blindness. Over the previous 24 hours, such assaults have resulted in at least 14 federal officers injured.”
Nadler was approached by journalist Austen Fletcher and asked if he disavowed the violent riots.
“It is true. There’s violence across the whole country,” Fletcher said. “Do you disavow the violence from Antifa that’s happening in Portland right now? There’s riots—”
“That’s a myth that’s being spread only in Washington, D.C.,” Nadler claimed without evidence.
“About Antifa in Portland?” Fletcher pressed.
“Yes—” Nadler once again claimed without evidence.
A person with Nadler, presumably an aide, rushed in to get Nadler away from the camera and took him to a car nearby. Book The Russia Hoax: The Illicit Scheme to Clear Hillary Clinton and Frame Donald Trump “Sir, there’s videos everywhere online,” Fletcher said as Nadler walked away. “There’s fires and riots, they’re throwing fireworks at federal officers. DHS is there. Look online. It gets crazy, Mr. Nadler.” WATCH: I ran into Jerry Nadler in DC and asked him to disavow the Antifa violence/rioting in Portland. His response? “THATS A MYTH” pic.twitter.com/veImyE2rju — Essential Fleccas 🇺🇸 (@fleccas) July 27, 2020 Dozens of people have been arrested during the violent riots in Portland, which have been going on for nearly 60 consecutive days. The Department of Justice said in a statement late last week: According to court documents, since May 26, 2020, protests in downtown Portland have been followed by nightly criminal activity including assaults on law enforcement officers, destruction of property, looting, arson, and vandalism. The Hatfield Federal Courthouse has been a nightly target of vandalism during evening protests and riots, sustaining extensive damage. U.S. Marshals Service deputies and officers from the Federal Protective Service, Homeland Security Investigations, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection working to protect the courthouse have been subjected to nightly threats and assaults from demonstrators while performing their duties. Acting Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Chad Wolf added on Twitter yesterday, “Day 56. Last night six DHS law enforcement officers were injured in Portland. To be clear, criminals assaulted FEDERAL officers on FEDERAL property…and the city of Portland did nothing.” “It’s time Portland join other responsible cities around the country to hold criminals accountable and protect federal property and officers,” Wolf continued.

stillnessinthestorm--2020-07-27--NOT A THEORY: 600,000 Mistakenly Told They’ve Had Covid: ‘I Have NOT Been Tested’

( Amanda Prestigiacomo ) Tricare , a health care program of the United States Department of Defense Military Health System , mistakenly told more than 600,000 people they have had the China-originated novel coronavirus , asking the “ COVID-19 survivors ” to consider donating blood for research .

As noted in the report , “ 31,000 persons affiliated with the U.S. military have been diagnosed with the coronavirus , ” showing a clear error in the mass email .
“ As a survivor of COVID-19 , it ’ s safe to donate whole blood or blood plasma , and your donation could help other COVID-19 patients , ” the email stated .
“ Your plasma likely has antibodies ( or proteins ) present that might help fight the coronavirus infection .
Currently , there is no cure @ @ @ @ @ @ @ information that suggests plasma from COVID-19 survivors , like you , might help some patients recover more quickly from COVID-19.

Rogan told De Sena he is leaving L.A. for Texas “soon” because he wants to live somewhere that is “in the center of the country, somewhere it’s easier to travel to both places, and somewhere where you have a little bit more freedom.” Rogan also cited L.A.’s overcrowding, which he says proves problematic in the age of COVID-19.
“When you look at the traffic, when you look at the economic despair, when you look at the homelessness problem that’s accelerated radically over the last six, seven, ten years, I think there’s too many people here,” said Rogan. “I think it’s not tenable. I don’t think it’s manageable. I think every mayor does a sh*t job of doing it, because I don’t think anybody could do a great job of it. I think there’s certain things you’re gonna have to deal with when you have a population of whatever the f**k L.A. is, it’s like 20 million plus people.”
Rogan wouldn’t give details regarding his planned move to the Lone Star State but mentioned his producer Jamie was “all excited” to be doing the show from there soon.
Rogan floated the idea of relocating to Texas in May amid the lockdown order that Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom instituted in March. Though Newsom first rolled back his restrictive measures, he recently re-instated his lockdown in 30 of the state’s 58 counties, which encompasses about 80% of the state’s population.
“If California continues to be this restrictive, I don’t know if this is a good place to live,” Rogan said. “I might jet. I’m not kidding. I’m not kidding, this is silly. I don’t need to be here.”
“Texas is buck wild, bro,” he also said. “You can bring a gun.” In a Wednesday interview with Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro on “The Joe Rogan Podcast,” the two discussed Shapiro’s new book, “How to Destroy America in Three Easy Steps,” as well as the precipitous decline of L.A. As reported by The Daily Wire, both Shapiro and Rogan commiserated that “progressive policies” had led to an exponential increase of homelessness, drug abuse, and general lawlessness in California’s largest city. Responding to Rogan’s assertion that L.A.’s collapse was gradual and then all-at-once, Shapiro said, “I’ve lived in L.A. my whole life. And the move from L.A. being a pretty safe, fairly nice city, suburban in orientation, to just overrun with horror shows is really — it was a lot faster than I thought it would be. But you’re right, it was a gradual decline, and then it’s just off a cliff.” Book The Big Lie: Exposing the Nazi Roots of the American Left WATCH: About The Author Jon Brown Jon Brown is a Washington, D.C.-based writer and editor originally from Asheville, North Carolina.

The sheriffs of nine counties – Upshur, Panola, Nacogdoches, Montgomery, Kerr, Houston, Gregg, Gillespie and Denton – have sworn that they will not even consider upholding Abbott’s new directive. This comes as the state’s number of confirmed coronavirus cases soared past 200,000 on Tuesday.
Abbott’s order allows counties with 20 or fewer active COVID-19 cases to opt-out of the mask mandate, and over 40 counties in the state have already done so. But all nine counties refusing to enforce the mandate have more than 20 coronavirus cases each, according to data gathered from their websites.
Abbott’s mask order is difficult to enforce
When Abbott relaxed Texas’ coronavirus lockdown measures, he initially did not require Texans to wear face coverings while in public. He reversed course this last week, however, issuing an order that made the wearing of face masks mandatory statewide.
The order states that law enforcement officials will be able to charge repeat offenders with a fine of up to $250. However, no offenders may be detained or jailed for not wearing a mask.
This language in the directive, many have argued, is what makes it difficult to enforce – stopping people who aren’t wearing masks could be seen as detaining them.
In Montgomery County, the Sheriff’s Office argued that because the mandate did not allow law enforcement to detain, confine or arrest individuals who don’t follow the order, it stripped them of “the necessary tools to enforce compliance with the law,” and, therefore, see no reason to enforce it. Many other counties have used this argument, while others have stated staffing problems.
“The order is not a law, there is no requirement that any police officer enforce it, and it’s unenforceable,” wrote Denton County Sheriff Tracy Murphree on Facebook on Friday. “We can’t spend our time running from place to place for calls about masks we can really do nothing about.”

“Draconian” mask order violates constitutional rights
Murphree and other police officials in the nine Texas counties have said that they will not impose the ruling with either verbal or written citations. (Related: Harvard doctor wants US to enforce national mask mandate; Surgeon General says order may lead to REBELLION.)
On Twitter, Joe Gamaldi, president of the Houston Police Officers’ Union, called the mask mandate “draconian” and said that the task of enforcing it should not be given to law enforcement.
While we in law enforcement are desperately trying to build trust w/our community and are spread incredibly thin with the huge rise in violent crime, we are now expexcted to enforce yet another draconian mask law. Everyone needs to wear a mask, but don’t put us in this position. — Joe Gamaldi (@JoeGamaldi) July 2, 2020
Similarly, the Panola County Texas Sheriff’s Office said that, while they strongly encourage the wearing of face masks, they believe that compliance should be voluntary and that they do not have the manpower to keep tabs on individual warnings and citations.
In a Facebook Live video, Nacogdoches County Sheriff Jason Bridges said that his deputies will not be enforcing Abbott’s mask mandate, nor will he be limiting gatherings.

Rusty Hierholzer, Kerr County Sheriff, said on Thursday that while he believes that the coronavirus is real and that it should be taken seriously, his officers will not be issuing citations for not wearing a mask. Instead, what he will do is educate his county’s residents on why it’s important to wear a mask.
Hierholzer further stated that if the governor of Texas wants law enforcement officials to issue citations for his mask mandate, then that job should fall on the state police.
“He has more officers at his disposal than I will ever have,” said Hierholzer. He followed this up with a message on social media posted on Sunday where he echoed Bridges’ concerns about how the mask mandate might be unconstitutional.
The Gregg County Sheriff’s Office, as a departure from the eight other counties, said that they will enforce the mask mandate. However, they will educate their residents and request voluntarily compliance with the mask mandate first before they proceed with verbal and written warnings, turning to written citations as a last resort.

Abbott blasts officials for refusing to enforce his mask mandate
During an interview with KFDM anchor Tiffany Murphy, Abbott took issue with elected officials, including sheriffs, who were refusing to enforce his mask mandate. He criticized them for what he called “absenteeism” instead of action on their parts.
He compared the sheriffs who are refusing to enforce his directive to the local officials who are asking that Texas’ economy be shuttered once more and everybody placed on lockdown again. These officials, Abbott argued, need to enforce the law they’ve sworn to uphold before doing anything else.
“They ask for more and more, but they do absolutely nothing,” he said.
He went on to say that he issued an executive order to mandate the wearing of masks based upon the advice of health experts. “If local officials enforce the mask order, it will slow the spread of the coronavirus. They just now need to step up and begin to enforce the orders that are already in place.”
