Nypost.com reports: Trump also told “Fox & Friends” he disapproves of the role of Antifa, or so-called “anti-fascist,” activists who have clashed with authorities in Portland and other cities since Floyd’s death in May.
Trump slammed a remark from Rep. Jerry Nadler (R-NY) that Antifa violence was “a myth.”
“This isn’t being naive. This is being untruthful. These are lying people, these are untruthful people,” Trump said.
He added that he believes “you have Democrats funding them. They say [George] Soros and they say other people — who knows.”
Trump did not provide specific information about the claim that Democrats fund Antifa groups. But Soros, the left-wing billionaire investor, said last month that he would distribute $150 million to “black-led justice organizations that helped to create and now sustain the momentum” of recent protests.
Trump added in the Fox News interview about Antifa: “You see them standing there with weapons that are expensive, with signs that were made — literally they have signs, some of their little marches, they have signs that were made in a high-class printing shop. I like the signs that are made in a basement, they mean a lot more.”

Far-left Mayor Bill de Blasio plans to set up checkpoints throughout New York City to enforce the state ’ s mandatory 14-day coronavirus quarantine rule for those arriving from various COVID-19 hotspots .
“ They ( visitors ) will be reminded that it is required not optional , ” de Blasio announced .
“ This is serious stuff .
If we ’ re going to hold at this level , the quarantine is going to have to be enforced.
” The NYC Sheriff , deputies and other officials said they will deploy to Penn Station , airports , bridges , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ interrogate the public about their plans and register with authorities .

“ The national outlook is not encouraging to say the least , ” de Blasio said .
“ We need to do @ @ @ @ @ @ @ do it consistently.
” About 20 % .
of all new cases in New York City are from people who arrive from out of state , said Dr. Ted Long , who oversees the city ’ s contact tracing program .
Officials offered scant details about the checkpoints , including where and when they might operate and how widespread they will be .
The city sheriff said most of the traffic stops would be done on a randomized basis , perhaps stopping one in every six or eight cars .
He said the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ drivers because the law also applies to New Yorkers who travel to one of the states on the list .
He also suggested that no more than 20 officers might be enforcing the checkpoints citywide at any given time , a total that would likely make them less visible and widespread than the mayor implied .
De Blasio stressed that travelers ’ civil liberties would be respected and the main purpose of the checkpoints would be to enforce and give information about the quarantine requirements , along with assistance to those who need @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s response to Tropical Storm Isaias , calling the fast-moving storm “ one of the most significant weather events since ( Superstorm ) Sandy.

Isaias raced through the five boroughs packing wind gusts of up to 78 miles per hour , sparking 100 911 calls a minute at its peak , he said .
“ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ safest and most effective way possible , ” de Blasio said .
Hizzoner dodged questions about the abrupt resignation of Health Commissioner Oxiris Barbot a day earlier .
The city ’ s former top doc blasted de Blasio Tuesday for bungling the city ’ s response to the coronavirus pandemic , saying she is “ deeply disappointed ” in his performance .
De Blasio implied that Barbot would have been fired if she did not quit amid major disagreements .
But he refused to discuss the clashes or what Barbot may have done @ @ @ @ @ @ @ just don ’ t work out , ” he said .

“This is serious stuff. If we’re going to hold at this level, the quarantine is going to have to be enforced.”
The NYC Sheriff, deputies and other officials said they will deploy to Penn Station, airports, bridges, tunnels, and on major roadways to interrogate the public about their plans and register with authorities.
Nydailynews.com reports: Currently, there are 35 states in the U.S. where COVID-19 rates are too high or rising according to state metrics, de Blasio said.
The city’s rate has been steady and declining at below 3% for two months now even as numbers have been rising across the Sun Belt and Midwest.
“The national outlook is not encouraging to say the least,” de Blasio said. “We need to do what we’ve been doing and do it consistently.”
About 20%. of all new cases in New York City are from people who arrive from out of state, said Dr. Ted Long, who oversees the city’s contact tracing program.
Officials offered scant details about the checkpoints, including where and when they might operate and how widespread they will be.
The city sheriff said most of the traffic stops would be done on a randomized basis, perhaps stopping one in every six or eight cars. He said the stops would not target out of state drivers because the law also applies to New Yorkers who travel to one of the states on the list.
He also suggested that no more than 20 officers might be enforcing the checkpoints citywide at any given time, a total that would likely make them less visible and widespread than the mayor implied.
De Blasio stressed that travelers’ civil liberties would be respected and the main purpose of the checkpoints would be to enforce and give information about the quarantine requirements, along with assistance to those who need it.
Hizzoner praised the city’s response to Tropical Storm Isaias, calling the fast-moving storm “one of the most significant weather events since (Superstorm) Sandy.”
One Queens resident died from a falling tree and a Brooklyn resident was seriously injured. Some 70,000 New Yorkers lost power in the storm, although most of the lights were back on by morning.
Isaias raced through the five boroughs packing wind gusts of up to 78 miles per hour, sparking 100 911 calls a minute at its peak, he said.
“Job One is cleaning up in the safest and most effective way possible,” de Blasio said.
Hizzoner dodged questions about the abrupt resignation of Health Commissioner Oxiris Barbot a day earlier.
The city’s former top doc blasted de Blasio Tuesday for bungling the city’s response to the coronavirus pandemic, saying she is “deeply disappointed” in his performance.
De Blasio implied that Barbot would have been fired if she did not quit amid major disagreements. But he refused to discuss the clashes or what Barbot may have done to irk him.
“Sometimes things just don’t work out,” he said.


newspunch--2020-08-05--Biden SNAPS at Black Reporter: “Are You a Junkie?”

CBS News ’ Errol Barnett asked Biden if he had taken a test that would assess his mental fitness to be President , which appeared to anger Biden .
Breitbart.com reports : The presumptive presidential nominee went on to boast of his mental acuity and readiness to debate Trump — but stumbled with word order , word choice , and pronunciation multiple times in the same sentences .

In May , Biden caused controversy when he told Breakfast Club co-host Charlamagne tha God that “ you ain ’ t black ” if voters go for Trump .
“ If you have a problem figuring out whether you ’ re for me or Trump , then you ain ’ t black , ” Biden said .
“ It don ’ t have nothing to do with Trump , it has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ want something for my community , ” the radio host shot back .
Biden claiming he has not taken a cognitive test is a reversal from a statement he made in June .
“ I ’ ve been tested and I ’ m constantly tested , ” Biden responded when he was asked by a reporter about a mental assessment .
“ All you ’ ve got to do is watch me , and I can hardly wait to compare my cognitive capability to the cognitive capability of the man I ’ m @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Former White House Physician Dr. Ronny Jackson has said President Trump “ aced ” a cognitive assessment in 2018 .
“ If ( Trump ) goes head-to-head with Joe Biden cognitively , there just wouldn ’ t be much of a comparison .
It would be very one-sided , ” Jackson told The Kyle Olson Show .
“ They can not afford to put Joe Biden on the stage side-by-side with President Trump .
It will be an unmitigated disaster for their party , ” he said .

Former Vice President Joe Biden snapped at a black interviewer on Tuesday morning when questioned about his alleged his cognitive decline.
