George Soros ’ history of funding leftist movements including Black Lives Matter is proving unpopular with internet users , with many taking to Twitter to denounce the globalist billionaire as one of the financial architects behind the violent disturbances across the U.S. Twitter users are hitting back against George Soros , punishing his posts with millions upon millions of angry tweets , accusing him of paying protestors to riot and funding Antifa , while some claim that he plans to radicalize African Americans in order to undermine society and further his globalist agenda .
“ Soros needs to be under @ @ @ @ @ @ @ USA… he is an international criminal !
” said Conservative Lady in response to James Woods , who said “ Our problem today is not black versus white .

Abraham Lincoln Statue Defaced By BLM Protestors, Even Though He Freed the Slaves and Took a Bullet For It

Brainless and uneducated Black Lives Matter protesters have defaced and vandalized an Abraham Lincoln statue , despite the fact Lincoln freed the slaves over 150 years ago and ultimately took an assassin ’ s bullet in the back of the head for doing so .
There were skirmishes with police , as is usual for these events , leading Prime Minister Boris Johnson to say that the protests had been “ subverted by thuggery — and they are a betrayal of the cause they purport to serve.

And he was right .
There @ @ @ @ @ @ @ social change and behaving like uneducated thugs , brainlessly rioting , looting , and vandalizing .
Take a look at the state of the Abraham Lincoln statue in London : Video posted to Twitter also showed BLM demonstrators climbing the statue in protest : Jack Montgomery noted that Lincoln ’ s statue was vandalized “ worse than Churchill ’ s. ” I don ’ t think I need to remind anyone about Abraham Lincoln ’ s role in ending slavery , considering his election was the impetus for almost all of America ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ form the Confederacy — which was then soundly defeated , thanks to Lincoln .

Even if you believe , as these people do , that police malfeasance was responsible for every one of these deaths , remembering the “ victims ” by defacing the statue of one of the greatest champions of freedom and equality in the Western world is certainly a unique way to go about letting people know about it .

newspunch--2020-06-09--Black State Trooper Refuses To Kneel for BLM Protester: ‘I Only Kneel for God’

A Georgia state trooper on duty at a Black Lives Matter protest in Georgia has become a star on social media , thanks to an answer he gave a protestor who demanded he “ take a knee ” as a sign of respect for the BLM movement .
“ I was supposed to be out of town this weekend with my wife , ” the trooper , identified by The Daily Caller as O ’ Neal Saddler , told the protester .
“ I took off today , this weekend , but I ’ m out here just to make @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Don ’ t go there with respect , OK ?
These comments didn ’ t satisfy the BLM protestor , so Trooper Saddler hit him with some real talk .
“ I have much respect , but I only kneel for one person , and that ’ s God.

It was posted Sunday to a photography studio ’ s Facebook page , then shared on Twitter by Ryan Fournier , national chairman @ @ @ @ @ @ @ time it was taken is a little unclear , since there was a Black Lives Matter protest in Hartwell on Friday , as documented by The Hartwell Sun , the local weekly .

Of course , there were a few liberal knuckleheads ready to jump in with irrelevant jibes ( there was at least one mocking comparison to President Donald Trump ’ s visit to St. John ’ s Episcopal Church in Washington , D.C. , for instance ) .

( Bizarrely , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from progressives now , according to ABC News . )
But one state trooper , with a respectful demeanor and gentle logic that only added strength to his words , gave the answer that every law enforcement officer — and every American — should take to heart .

The group sent a letter on June 3 to one of the international body’s working groups asking for support for the end of the provision of military equipment and military-type training for police, the teaching of deescalation techniques, independent prosecutions and autopsies for “extrajudicial” police killings, and more. “When a group of people of any nation have been systemically deprived of their universal human right to life by its government for decades, it must appeal to the international community for its support and to the United Nations for its intervention,” Floyd’s family attorney Ben Crump said in a press release.
Breitbart report: The U.N. issued a statement on May 28, three days after Floyd’s death, and included the names of other black people in the U.S. who died in police custody. Michelle Bachelet, U.N. Commissioner on Human Rights, is quoted in the statement, which says, in part:
“This is the latest in a long line of killings of unarmed African Americans by U.S. police officers and members of the public,” Bachelet said. “I am dismayed to have to add George Floyd’s name to that of Breonna Taylor, Eric Garner, Michael Brown and many other unarmed African Americans who have died over the years at the hands of the police — as well as people such as Ahmaud Arbery and Trayvon Martin who were killed by armed members of the public.” “The US authorities must take serious action to stop such killings, and to ensure justice is done when they do occur. Procedures must change, prevention systems must be put in place, and above all police officers who resort to excessive use of force should be charged and convicted for the crimes committed.” “The role that entrenched and pervasive racial discrimination plays in such deaths must also be fully examined, properly recognized and dealt with,” she added. While saying she understood the anger unleashed by Floyd’s killing, Bachelet urged people in Minneapolis and elsewhere to protest peacefully.
NBC did not report on whether or not the Floyd family or its legal counsel have heard back from the U.N.

The same thing is happening in Minneapolis:
A manufacturing company that has been in Minneapolis since 1987 has decided to leave the city.

newspunch--2020-06-10--WHO Walks Back Claim That Asymptomatic Spread Of Coronavirus Is ‘Very Rare’

The World Health Organization is scrambling to clarify its claim that transmissions of the coronavirus by people who never developed symptoms is “ very rare.
” WHO ’ s statement on Monday sent shock waves throughout the world , much of which has been locked down for months in fear of the virus being spread by people who showed no signs of illness .
Dr. Maria Van Kerkhove , WHO infectious disease epidemiologist , has now said that there had been “ misunderstandings ” about her recent comments .
Fox News reports : In a Facebook Live video , Van @ @ @ @ @ @ @ spread the virus , though the degree to which they can is unknown .
“ We do know that some people who are asymptomatic or some people who don ’ t have symptoms can transmit the virus on , ” she said .
“ What we need to better understand is how many people in the population don ’ t have symptoms and , separately , how many of those individuals go on to transmit to others.
” She said she was referring to two or three studies when she made her statement @ @ @ @ @ @ @ used the phrase ‘ very rare , ’ and I think that ’ s a misunderstanding to state that asymptomatic transmission globally is very rare , ” she said .
“ What I was referring to is a subset of studies.
” Some modeling groups estimate about 40 percent of virus transmission may be due to asymptomatic people , she said .
Van Kerkhove did not include that figure on Monday but wanted to make sure she included it in her clarification .

The iconic 1939 film Gone with the Wind has been temporarily taken off the HBO Max streaming platform following complaints about its racist portrayal of black characters .

According to the philanthropist Mr Gates however , the agency is critical to the global effort to eliminate polio , as well as in responding to to future epidemics .
He said “ WHO is important for all the global health work that we do…..Everyone should @ @ @ @ @ @ @ improve the WHO , that ’ s what we do , but that we stay together.
” Stat News reports : Gates said he hasn ’ t spoken to Trump yet about the WHO withdrawal announcement , but may do so in the future .
He added that he hoped Trump ’ s decision could be walked back .
“ I ’ m hopeful it ’ ll turn into a desire for improvement rather than a withdrawal , ” he said .
Gates met with reporters to discuss the Bill and Melinda Gates @ @ @ @ @ @ @ billion commitment to Gavi , the Vaccine Alliance .
Gavi , which helps low- and middle-income countries purchase vaccines for children , staged its replenishment conference Thursday .
The Geneva-based organization hoped to raise $ 7.4 billion to finance the purchase of vaccines for 300 million children , but managed to raise substantially more — $ 8.8 billion , British Prime Minister Boris Johnson , who hosted the conference , announced .
In the 20 years since it was created , Gavi has helped to vaccinate 760 million children .
Gates said the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his foundation ’ s funding .
“ The devastating impact of Covid-19 is a huge reminder of how vulnerable we are to disease , ” he said .
“ Right now , we ’ ve got billions of people in lockdown because we don ’ t have a vaccine or cure for Covid-19.
” The Gates Foundation on Thursday also pledged $ 100 million to a separate fund Gavi has created to finance the purchase of Covid-19 vaccines for low- and middle-income countries .
Of that amount $ 50 million is new funding @ @ @ @ @ @ @ May .
The money is being contributed to Gavi ’ s advanced purchasing commitment , a tool to incentivize vaccine manufacturers to ensure access for low- and middle-income countries to eventual Covid-19 vaccines .
Gavi is initially hoping to raise $ 2 billion to purchase vaccines for health worker and other high-risk individuals .
“ The world needs to work together to develop safe and effective vaccines and make sure that we scale up the manufacturing so we can get them out to those who need them the most — not just those @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Gates said .
In responding to the president ’ s WHO announcement , Gates raised concerns about the impact on the U.S. commitment to eradicate polio .
About one-third of the funding the U.S. contributes to the global health agency supports the polio eradication effort , which the WHO leads .
Other partners in the effort are Rotary International , the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention , UNICEF , and the Gates Foundation .
“ How would you do it without WHO ?

Chicago ’ s far-left mayor Lori Lightfoot , who has presided over the city ’ s descent into chaos , violence and criminality , has been reduced to begging major retailers not to abandon her lawless city .

Walmart is now assessing which of its locations are worth saving, and according to reports, the retail chain might not come back, at least not fully.
WBBM-AM in Chicago reported the Arkansas-based retail giant considering quitting the lawless city after criminals ransacked the stores during widespread looting.
There isn’t a timetable for when that evaluation will take place, but Mayor Lightfoot, whose job it is to protect her city, is now pleading with Walmart and other retailers not to abandon the city.
“My hope is that they will come back,” Lightfoot said of Walmart’s evaluation of how to proceed in Chicago.
WesternJournal report: The mayor made the comments after she spoke with a number of retailers that have locations closed due to damage.

“But I got a resounding, ‘Mayor, this is our city, this is our home,’ from a lot of other retailers, and I would hope that Walmart would follow suit,” the mayor said.
But what rational corporate leadership would want to conduct business in such a volatile environment?
Leaders in Chicago are completely lost, as is outlined in a report of a recent online conference call between Lightfoot and the city’s 50 aldermen regarding the destruction of businesses by looters.
A May 31 conversation reported by WTTW-TV shows the city’s leaders profanely attacked each other over the riots.
“Lightfoot vowed to launch a ‘Herculean effort’ to convince businesses to rebuild and reopen,” the outlet reported.
“Lightfoot said she had no choice but to shut down the [Chicago Transit Authority] after reports buses were being ‘commandeered’ by ‘anarchists.’
“[Third Ward Ald. Pat Dowell] asked Lightfoot to use the National Guard to protect grocery stores and pharmacies, but the mayor said ‘they are not a magic tool, they are the military.’
“In other cities, National Guard troops have made things worse, ‘not better,’ Lightfoot said.

“Lightfoot told Lopez he was ‘100% full of s—.’
“‘Well, f— you then,’ Lopez responded.
“‘I understand you want to preen,’ Lightfoot told Lopez.
“As aldermen objected, Lopez continued to speak.
“‘Mayor, you need to check your f—ing attitude,’ Lopez said.”
It is abundantly clear from the call that Chicago’s Democratic leaders don’t have the answers to the city’s problems, nor are they willing to come together to take control back from the mobs.
As American cities have burned in recent weeks, the messaging from radical demonstrators and the Democratic public officials who support them has been to dither or place blame on law enforcement.
Some are even screaming to defund police departments; a veto-proof majority of Minneapolis City Council members declared Sunday they would do just that, KMSP-TV reported.
The reluctance of leaders in Chicago to enforce law and order has caused tangible damage to businesses and their bottom lines.
Their rhetoric and feebleness don’t give any indication that the madness will end any time soon.
While many corporations across the country have virtue-signaled their way through the pandemic and now the civil unrest, whether Walmart decides to give Chicago another shot likely will be a purely business decision.
If Lightfoot is unwilling to guarantee the retail giant basic security and safety, there is no reason Walmart should be willing to assume the risk of sticking around.
The company’s decision will be dependent on how its leadership views the viability of a market in which Lightfoot and Democrats appear to have lost all control.
