Gov. Inslee said on Thursday he will sign a statewide mandate by Tuesday that prohibits businesses from serving customers without masks.
This is already a mandate in Yakima County, which is reporting more than 7,000 cases of coronavirus. The new mandate expands on a previous statewide mask or face coverings initiative that Inslee announced on June 10.
The governor said the new mandate is a result of increasing cases of COVID-19 across Washington state. The infections per day peaked in April, decreased in April and May, started increasing again in June, and now is back up to the peak.
He recognized that Washingtonians took painful steps early to knock the virus down, but to take further steps we have to drive down the rate of infection, and that involves wearing more masks.
“It’s just a piece of cloth, and it’s available to all of us,” Inslee said of masks. “It is a symbol that we care about the community, we care about our loved ones.”
The state has delivered, or will deliver, 3.6 million masks to low income people to make sure they are available in cities and counties, Inslee reported, and many nonprofits in the state are doing the same.
“This is not an optional plan for businesses,” the governor said about the new mandate. “This is a legal requirement. This is not merely a suggestion. If you go to a business and you’re not complying with this, the business cannot legally serve you.”
Inslee also announced that bar and counter service will no longer be permitted in Phase 3. Bars and restaurants can remain open and provide service, but not at bar tops.
“We need to sit down and be served,” Inlsee said. “We can’t have people mingling shoulder to shoulder.”
Secretary of Health John Wiesman said the state is also pausing all movement into the next phase for at least two weeks. This means if your county is in Phase 2 — King, Kitsap, Pierce, Skagit, and Snohomish, for example — it’ll remain in Phase 2 until at least mid-July.
There are now three counties in Phase 1, two counties in a modified version of Phase 1, 17 in Phase 2, and 17 in Phase 3, according to the state.
What’s allowed as counties reopen under Gov. Inslee’s ‘Safe Start’ phases
Wiesman says it’s safest to stay home, stay local, keep your circle of friends and contacts small, practice good hygiene, and wear a cloth face covering.
“This is not the time for extended family, friends, or neighborhood parties, retirements, or fourth of July barbeques,” he said.

thelibertydaily--2020-07-03--H.L. Mencken: Misfit In 21st-Century America

H.L .
Mencken , a contrarian polemicist and the consummate critic , who wrote prolifically and prodigiously from 1899 until 1948 , may no longer seem relevant , but the fault would not be his .
Mencken was a well-read bon vivant with a taste for Teutonic philosophy and a fidelity to immutable truth .
He was also a brilliant satirist and a writer whose facility with the English idiom and grasp of intellectual history are unsurpassed .
How can a phenom like Mencken appeal in our age , The Age of the Idiot ?
He canât : He should @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Mencken can not appeal to the bumper crops of humorless , dour âdunderheadsâ America is now siring .
He can not resonate with those who are afraid to question received opinion , who can not conjugate a verb correctly , use tenses , prepositions and adjectives grammatically and creatively , or appreciate a clever turn-of-phrase .
How can Mencken , author of The American Language ( 1919 ) , be relevant in an America in which the rules of syntax are passÃ© , pronouns are politicized and neutered , torrential prolixity is in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and âeditorsâ excise nothing , preferring to let mangled phrases and lumpen jargon spill onto the page like gravy over a tablecloth .
Not for nothing did one wag say that the history of ideas is the history of words .
And since Mencken was , first and foremost , a man of ideas ( and hence , words ) âno discussion of Mencken and his ideas is complete without a reference to English , the language he deployed with such verve and vim .
Thus , when âa few newspaper smarties protestedâ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , in his Preface to A Mencken Chrestomathy ( 1949 ) : âThousands of excellent nouns , verbs and adjectives â¦ are still unfamiliar to such ignoramuses .
Let them â¦ leave my vocabulary and me to my own customers , who have all been to school.â Written at a considerable level of abstraction , for a prosaic people that , by Menckenâs estimation , â can not grasp an abstraction , â a Mencken essay is certain to furrow the brow of the above-average American reader , writer and editor nowadays ( @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the American Greatness ) .
Unlike the tracts disgorged by Conservatism , Inc. , the least complicated of Mencken ’ s editorial writings would place excessive demands on the unsupple minds of young activists , who are busy striking a selfie on social media or running to CPUKE conferences .
Indeed , ideas are in retreat ; and the incremental and steady âclosing of the American mindâ is on the march .
By virtue of the unsettling , bracing originality of his ideas , Mencken is rendered as inaccessible to the American reader @ @ @ @ @ @ @ While Menckenâs libertarian acolytes and admirers focus on his disdain for The State as the leitmotif of his writingsâMenckenâs war on the âdishonest , insane , intolerable and tyrannicalâ U.S. government was , arguably , the least controversial thread in his voluminous oeuvre .
Menckenâs grasp of government as a predatory , âregimentingâ force that fleeces the citizen without flinching ; that could and does âsafely strip [ the individual ] to his hideâ ; a âgang well-nigh immune to punishmentââthese , nowadays , are the most acceptable of Menckenâs thoughts .
What @ @ @ @ @ @ @ turgid minds dominating the current marketplace of ideas is his disdain for the âintellectually underprivilegedâ American electorate , whom he called the âboobs.â As Mencken saw it , Boobus Americanus , so easily and reliably âimpressed and enchantedâ by the political scoundrels , was largely to blame for why nowhere in the world was government more secure than in the United States .
Americans were simply the âmost timorous , sniveling , poltroonsish , ignominious mob of serfs and goose-steppers ever gathered under one flag â¦â âA glorious commonwealth of morons , â @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mindââthis âmob-manâsâ mentalityâis that of a âviolent nationalist and patriot , â to whom ideas are a menace , and who would always opt âto keep his Ford , even at the cost of losing the Bill of Rights.â These are all Menckenâs words , not mine .
It was Mencken against America , then , to paraphrase the scholar Thomas W. Hazlett .
And it would be Mencken against America today .
More so than his anti-statism and strong , spare proseâso different from todayâs insipid , anemic , meandering commentaryâMencken shattered @ @ @ @ @ @ @ life .
It is this so-called anti-Americanism that would make Mencken unpalatable and unemployable in our times .
In a word , being a man of ideas is what would render Mencken a misfit among his countrymen .
For , as Mencken saw them , Americans were congenitally and âimplacably hostile toâ the very things that made him tick : ânovel ideas and points of view.â âEverything American , â mocked Mencken , is characterized by âa great distrust of ideasâ â¦ and âa harsh fidelity to a few fixed beliefs , â @ @ @ @ @ @ @ me count the ways .
American exceptionalism ?
Not on your lifeâexcept as the âgreatest show on earth â¦ a show which lays chief stress upon â¦ the exquisitely ingenious operations of master rogues â¦ clowns in constant practice.â âAmerican valuesâ ?
Arenât those fit for export ?
Should not America be making the world over in its image ?
Are you fit to be tied ?
Menckenâs conviction was that the âaverage Americanâ is a narrow-minded chauvinist , who is wont to conflate âdifferentnessâ with âwrongnessâ and immorality .
By extension , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ nations , whether friend or foeâis hypocritical , disingenuous , knavish , and dishonorable.â Christianity ?
Not too long ago , gingerly cleaving to Edward Gibbonâs scholarship , this essayist pondered whether Christianity might be considered the Social Justice movement of its day .
How subtle was that compared to Menckenâs reference to Christianity as a âmob religionâ that âpaves heaven with gold and precious stones , i.e.
, with moneyâ !
Nevertheless , in his day , Mencken was seen as merely following his mÃ©tier as an acidic critic ; today , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have earned Mencken a rebuke from a prissy , Fox-empaneled gaggle of schoolmarms , called upon to expatiate about Mean Man Mencken .
On second thought , today , Mencken would have been silenced by âcancel culture.â Menckenâs views on âmonogamous marriageâ and the military broke the American mold as well .
The married man ends up âmaking machiavellian efforts to avoid kissing the everyday sharer of his meals , books , bath towels , pocketbook , relatives , ambitions , secrets , malaise and business : a proceeding about as romantic as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ conservative radio mouth or TV anchor who would forgive the Maestro for that uproariously funny quip .
The American military ?
The âmilitary caste , â bemoaned Mencken , in the Minority Report , did not originate as a party of patriots , but as a party of bandits.â More crucially , Mencken mocked the mighty American militaryâs fighting prowess .
Who gets away with that today ?
From the riffs of outrage coming from the Democrats and their demos over âour democracyâ betrayed , infiltrated , even destroyedâyouâd never know that a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ democracy runs through Western intellectual thought .
Itâs at its best in Menckenâs diatribe against the democratic doxology .
Mencken was withering about a political dispensation that teaches that âall moral excellence , and with it all pure and unfettered sagacity , resided in the inferior four-fifths of mankind.â Of course , Mencken was not merely politically impolite or incorrect .
Rather , he pulverized every politically protected group conceivable : soldiers , sainted farmers and their subsidies , Jewish money-lenders , blacks , and Anglo-Saxons .
Mencken would have infuriated with this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ âthe least civilized of white men and the least capable of true civilization.â His blood is ârunning thin , â and âhe fears ideas almost more cravenly than he fears men.â Rest assured , too , that for his use of racial epithets , the countryâs professional racism-spotters would proceed against Mencken with all their sinecured mediocrity .
This , even though , by the Baltimore Sunâs telling , Mencken did âmore to help black writersâincluding the likes of W.E.B .
Du Bois , Langston Hughes , and James Weldon Johnsonâget into mainstream @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of his day.â Yes , Mencken helped all talent .
Why so ?
For one , he was secure in his own talent unmatched .
For another , Mencken toiled at a time when merit still mattered .
Today , however , true talent is expungedâtreated as a mortal threat to the gatekeepers and overlords of our slum-dog culture .
Only in America , ventured Mencken , are such âthird-rate menâ in full control of the state and the âKulture.â More so than in Menckenâs day , the mission of these âthird-rate men @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the status quo by warding off âthe menace of ideas.â In Human Accomplishment , Charles Murray evaluates and assesses the events and the individuals , from 800 B.C .
to 1950 , to have inspired humanity and dragged it out of wattle-and-daub hovels .
His verdict about cultural products in the âpost-1950 Westâ : Hardly any of âthe literature , music , and visual arts of the last half century has enough substance to satisfy , over time.â Murrayâs methodologically sound findings jibe with the case made here .
It is that Menckenâwhose @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and who made a good living regaling and enraging every segment of American societyâwould have perished in penury had he peddled his craft in the culturally more barren half of the 20th century .
Not prone to hyperpartisan hysteria , this writer sees Mencken as the keenest and cleverest observer of American culture .
Whereas Mencken marshalled exciting , irreverent and powerful thoughts and arguments ; current commentary , by-and-large , serves up self-righteous , âpious piffle , â to quote Mencken on the cultural foot-and-mouth of his time .
Right and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on their hind legs in protest of Menckenâs systematic , analytical and entertaining evisceration of the alpha-and-omega of American life .
Were Mencken to submit a tract to most of the popular magazines or websites , conservative or liberal , heâd have been reprimanded by a millennial or Generation-Z âeditorâ for being mean-spirited .
He would have been told , âThanks , but no thanks , Henry .
Weâll pass.â And âHenryâ would have replied to editorial detractors as he did back in the day : Your newspaper , young pipsqueak , is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
It is full of transparent absurdities .
Its editorials are ignorant and without sense .
It is written in English full of clichÃ©s and vulgaritiesâEnglish that would disgrace a manager of prize-fighters or a county superintendent of schools.â Ilana Mercer has been writing a weekly , paleolibertarian column since 1999 .

How can a phenom like Mencken appeal in our age, The Age of the Idiot?
He can’t: He should, but he can’t.
Henry Louis Mencken cannot appeal to the bumper crops of humorless, dour “dunderheads” America is now siring. He cannot resonate with those who are afraid to question received opinion, who cannot conjugate a verb correctly, use tenses, prepositions and adjectives grammatically and creatively, or appreciate a clever turn-of-phrase.
How can Mencken, author of The American Language (1919), be relevant in an America in which the rules of syntax are passé, pronouns are politicized and neutered, torrential prolixity is in, concision and precision are out, and “editors” excise nothing, preferring to let mangled phrases and lumpen jargon spill onto the page like gravy over a tablecloth.
Not for nothing did one wag say that the history of ideas is the history of words. And since Mencken was, first and foremost, a man of ideas (and hence, words)—no discussion of Mencken and his ideas is complete without a reference to English, the language he deployed with such verve and vim.
Thus, when “a few newspaper smarties protested” Mencken’s verbal virtuosity, Mencken tartly noted, in his Preface to A Mencken Chrestomathy (1949): “Thousands of excellent nouns, verbs and adjectives … are still unfamiliar to such ignoramuses. Let them … leave my vocabulary and me to my own customers, who have all been to school.”
Written at a considerable level of abstraction, for a prosaic people that, by Mencken’s estimation, “cannot grasp an abstraction,” a Mencken essay is certain to furrow the brow of the above-average American reader, writer and editor nowadays (bar our own editor, here at the American Greatness). Unlike the tracts disgorged by Conservatism, Inc., the least complicated of Mencken’s editorial writings would place excessive demands on the unsupple minds of young activists, who are busy striking a selfie on social media or running to CPUKE conferences.
Indeed, ideas are in retreat; and the incremental and steady “closing of the American mind” is on the march. By virtue of the unsettling, bracing originality of his ideas, Mencken is rendered as inaccessible to the American reader as an alien from deep space.
While Mencken’s libertarian acolytes and admirers focus on his disdain for The State as the leitmotif of his writings—Mencken’s war on the “dishonest, insane, intolerable and tyrannical” U.S. government was, arguably, the least controversial thread in his voluminous oeuvre.
Mencken’s grasp of government as a predatory, “regimenting” force that fleeces the citizen without flinching; that could and does “safely strip [the individual] to his hide”; a “gang well-nigh immune to punishment”—these, nowadays, are the most acceptable of Mencken’s thoughts.
What would make Mencken an outcast to the turgid minds dominating the current marketplace of ideas is his disdain for the “intellectually underprivileged” American electorate, whom he called the “boobs.” As Mencken saw it, Boobus Americanus, so easily and reliably “impressed and enchanted” by the political scoundrels, was largely to blame for why nowhere in the world was government more secure than in the United States. Americans were simply the “most timorous, sniveling, poltroonsish, ignominious mob of serfs and goose-steppers ever gathered under one flag …”
“A glorious commonwealth of morons,” Mencken called America. “The American moron’s mind”—this “mob-man’s” mentality—is that of a “violent nationalist and patriot,” to whom ideas are a menace, and who would always opt “to keep his Ford, even at the cost of losing the Bill of Rights.”
These are all Mencken’s words, not mine.
It was Mencken against America, then, to paraphrase the scholar Thomas W. Hazlett. And it would be Mencken against America today.
More so than his anti-statism and strong, spare prose—so different from today’s insipid, anemic, meandering commentary—Mencken shattered every conceivable totem and taboo of American life. It is this so-called anti-Americanism that would make Mencken unpalatable and unemployable in our times.
In a word, being a man of ideas is what would render Mencken a misfit among his countrymen. For, as Mencken saw them, Americans were congenitally and “implacably hostile to” the very things that made him tick: “novel ideas and points of view.” “Everything American,” mocked Mencken, is characterized by “a great distrust of ideas” … and “a harsh fidelity to a few fixed beliefs,” most of which Mencken derided.
Let me count the ways.
American exceptionalism? Not on your life—except as the “greatest show on earth … a show which lays chief stress upon … the exquisitely ingenious operations of master rogues … clowns in constant practice.”
“American values”? Aren’t those fit for export? Should not America be making the world over in its image?
Are you fit to be tied? Mencken’s conviction was that the “average American” is a narrow-minded chauvinist, who is wont to conflate “differentness” with “wrongness” and immorality. By extension, America’s habitual manner of dealing with “foreign nations, whether friend or foe—is hypocritical, disingenuous, knavish, and dishonorable.”
Christianity? Not too long ago, gingerly cleaving to Edward Gibbon’s scholarship, this essayist pondered whether Christianity might be considered the Social Justice movement of its day. How subtle was that compared to Mencken’s reference to Christianity as a “mob religion” that “paves heaven with gold and precious stones, i.e., with money”!
ORDER IT NOW
Nevertheless, in his day, Mencken was seen as merely following his métier as an acidic critic; today, his heretical words on most subjects would have earned Mencken a rebuke from a prissy, Fox-empaneled gaggle of schoolmarms, called upon to expatiate about Mean Man Mencken. On second thought, today, Mencken would have been silenced by “cancel culture.”
Mencken’s views on “monogamous marriage” and the military broke the American mold as well.
The married man ends up “making machiavellian efforts to avoid kissing the everyday sharer of his meals, books, bath towels, pocketbook, relatives, ambitions, secrets, malaise and business: a proceeding about as romantic as having his boots blackened.” Find me a conservative radio mouth or TV anchor who would forgive the Maestro for that uproariously funny quip.
The American military? The “military caste,” bemoaned Mencken, in the Minority Report, did not originate as a party of patriots, but as a party of bandits.” More crucially, Mencken mocked the mighty American military’s fighting prowess. Who gets away with that today?
From the riffs of outrage coming from the Democrats and their demos over “our democracy” betrayed, infiltrated, even destroyed—you’d never know that a rich vein of thinking in opposition to democracy runs through Western intellectual thought. It’s at its best in Mencken’s diatribe against the democratic doxology. Mencken was withering about a political dispensation that teaches that “all moral excellence, and with it all pure and unfettered sagacity, resided in the inferior four-fifths of mankind.”
Of course, Mencken was not merely politically impolite or incorrect. Rather, he pulverized every politically protected group conceivable: soldiers, sainted farmers and their subsidies, Jewish money-lenders, blacks, and Anglo-Saxons. Mencken would have infuriated with this verdict about the Anglo-Saxon: He is “the least civilized of white men and the least capable of true civilization.” His blood is “running thin,” and “he fears ideas almost more cravenly than he fears men.”
Rest assured, too, that for his use of racial epithets, the country’s professional racism-spotters would proceed against Mencken with all their sinecured mediocrity. This, even though, by the Baltimore Sun’s telling, Mencken did “more to help black writers—including the likes of W.E.B. Du Bois, Langston Hughes, and James Weldon Johnson—get into mainstream print than any other white magazine editor of his day.”
Yes, Mencken helped all talent. Why so? For one, he was secure in his own talent unmatched. For another, Mencken toiled at a time when merit still mattered. Today, however, true talent is expunged—treated as a mortal threat to the gatekeepers and overlords of our slum-dog culture. Only in America, ventured Mencken, are such “third-rate men” in full control of the state and the “Kulture.” More so than in Mencken’s day, the mission of these “third-rate men,” today, is to preserve the status quo by warding off “the menace of ideas.”
In Human Accomplishment, Charles Murray evaluates and assesses the events and the individuals, from 800 B.C. to 1950, to have inspired humanity and dragged it out of wattle-and-daub hovels. His verdict about cultural products in the “post-1950 West”: Hardly any of “the literature, music, and visual arts of the last half century has enough substance to satisfy, over time.”
Murray’s methodologically sound findings jibe with the case made here. It is that Mencken—whose career as an American man-of-letters was meteoric, and who made a good living regaling and enraging every segment of American society—would have perished in penury had he peddled his craft in the culturally more barren half of the 20th century.
Not prone to hyperpartisan hysteria, this writer sees Mencken as the keenest and cleverest observer of American culture. Whereas Mencken marshalled exciting, irreverent and powerful thoughts and arguments; current commentary, by-and-large, serves up self-righteous, “pious piffle,” to quote Mencken on the cultural foot-and-mouth of his time. Right and Left, these “dull fellows” would rise on their hind legs in protest of Mencken’s systematic, analytical and entertaining evisceration of the alpha-and-omega of American life.
Were Mencken to submit a tract to most of the popular magazines or websites, conservative or liberal, he’d have been reprimanded by a millennial or Generation-Z “editor” for being mean-spirited. He would have been told, “Thanks, but no thanks, Henry. We’ll pass.”
And “Henry” would have replied to editorial detractors as he did back in the day: Your newspaper, young pipsqueak, is “trifling, ill-informed, petty and unfair. It is full of transparent absurdities. Its editorials are ignorant and without sense. It is written in English full of clichés and vulgarities—English that would disgrace a manager of prize-fighters or a county superintendent of schools.”
Amen.

thelibertydaily--2020-07-03--Pat Buchanan: Are Uncivil Protests and Mob Violence Winning?

The Seattle Commune is no more .
Declared three weeks ago by radical leftists as CHAZ , the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone , rechristened CHOP , the Capitol Hill Occupation Protest , the six-block enclave inside Seattle ceased to exist July 1 .

”

The Seattle Commune is no more.
Declared three weeks ago by radical leftists as CHAZ, the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone, rechristened CHOP, the Capitol Hill Occupation Protest, the six-block enclave inside Seattle ceased to exist July 1. The cops shut it down.
As Marx said, history repeats itself, first as tragedy then as farce.
If the Paris Commune of 1871 is the archetype, that mass uprising and swift slaughter of the communards who rose against the regime, what happened in Seattle is the farce.
Police Chief Carmen Best, who opposed Mayor Jenny Durkan’s surrender of one of her precinct stations to the mob, explained in exasperation why her cops finally acted:
“Enough is enough. The CHOP (had) become lawless and brutal. Four shootings — two fatal — robberies, assaults, violence and countless property crimes have occurred in this several block area.”
The shooting death of a 16-year-old and critical wounding of a 14-year-old on Monday finally forced the mayor’s hand.
Some journalists touring the CHOP had burbled on like Lincoln Steffens on his first trip to Lenin’s Russia, “I have been over into the future and it works!”
They wrote of “peaceful” meetings, “documentary screenings” and “concerts.” Best was more hardheaded about what she found after recapturing the CHOP: “After walking through the area I was stunned by the amount of graffiti, garbage, and property destruction.”
Apparently, however, Mayor Durkan does not want posterity to forget the glory days of what she had predicted would be a “summer of love.”
Writes The Washington Post:
“Durkan called for charges to be dismissed against those who were arrested for alleged misdemeanors … The mayor also said that Seattle arts and parks departments would preserve a community garden and artwork and murals that protesters created within the zone.”
Hard to believe. Statues of Washington, Jefferson, Jackson, Lincoln, Grant and Theodore Roosevelt are dragged down, while the murals and graffiti of misfits who trashed downtown Seattle are to be preserved.
This raises a larger question.
Have the six weeks of protests since the death of George Floyd — weeks featuring riots, looting and trashing of city centers, desecration of monuments from Columbus to the Founding Fathers, presidents and Confederate generals, proven to be a cultural and political victory for the radical left?
More precisely, is the mob winning?
The case can be made that the mob has won already. People have gotten away with massive demonstrations blocking roads, highways and parks. Shopping areas in elite and working-class sections of scores of cities have been torched and looted. Police have been insulted, taunted and showered with debris.
Result: Mob demands to “Defund the Police” have been met by political concessions and capitulations. Minneapolis is moving to abolish its police force. New York Mayor Bill De Blasio has slashed $1 billion from the NYPD budget. Protesters camping out at city hall are demanding more.
Joe Biden, who began his campaign by telling us how well he had gotten on with the old segregationist senators like Jim Eastland and Strom Thurmond, has been scrambling as swiftly as he can in that basement.
Said Biden this week:
ORDER IT NOW
“(W)ith regard to those statues and monuments, like the Jefferson Memorial, there’s an obligation that the government protect those monuments because they’re different. That’s a remembrance, it’s not dealing with revering somebody who had that view. … They may have had things in their past that were now and then distasteful, but that’s a judgment.”
This mush comes from a senator who probably cannot remember how many Jefferson-Jackson Day dinners he has attended and addressed.
Consider what else the radicals and rioters have accomplished.
They have made mass civil disobedience an acceptable and even praiseworthy form of protest, if you are justifiably outraged. They have won near-immunity for burning and looting stores. Blanket amnesties at the state and city level appear to be in the cards.
With the collaboration of an allied and indulgent media, the radicals have turned public opinion against the cops. They have forced the issue of defunding the police onto the national agenda. They have pulled the center of gravity of politics sharply to the left.
Contrast how our establishment has been panicked into headlong retreat, with how Xi Jinping’s Chinese Communist Party handled its year of protests in Hong Kong — protests aimed at attaining the democratic rights that the American protesters are abusing.
The Chinese made a calculated decision: They would not use the methods they had employed in Tiananmen Square in 1989. But bottom line, they would also not lose Hong Kong to the democratic camp.
Beijing has now taken over Hong Kong, stifled the protests and begun a roundup of those who initiated and led the disorders.
And the West has done nothing.
As the world observes how the world’s greatest democracy handles disorders arising from left-wing radicals, and how China is handling an anti-Communist uprising in its city of Hong Kong, which appears to be more in command and control of its nation’s destiny?

President Trump’s plans to host a Fourth of July celebration at Mount Rushmore sparked backlash from Democrats who accused the president of “glorifying white supremacy.”
“Trump has disrespected Native communities time and again,” the Democratic party’s official Twitter account wrote in a now-deleted tweet. “He’s attempted to limit their voting rights and blocked critical pandemic relief. Now he’s holding a rally glorifying white supremacy at Mount Rushmore, a region once sacred to tribal communities.”
Native American groups have also protested the event and said Mount Rushmore is a “symbol of white supremacy.”
“Mount Rushmore is a symbol of white supremacy, of structural racism that’s still alive and well in society today,” Nick Tilsen, a member of the Oglala Lakota tribe, told the Associated Press.

CNN interviewed Sioux Falls Argus Leader columnist Stu Whitney, who said:
I think that is a source of concern for people that see this certainly within a state with a Native American population nearly 10 percent and much higher in Rapid City, concerned about a place that has a lot of spiritual significance, And historical significance when you look at what they and most historians consider to be broken promises and broken treaties.

Update: CNN’s Jim Acosta called Rushmore a “fitting stop for a presidential contender” in 2008.
CNN was also upbeat about Mount Rushmore in 2016, when Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) visited:

President Trump was right. Even CNN and other Trump-hating mainstream media outlets had to admit this morning that an encouraging comprehensive study has shown Hydroxychloroquine as part of COVID-19 treatment saved lives. Granted, CNN is already trying to spin their way out of the news, but the cat is mostly out of the bag. What President Trump said may be effective, many in mainstream media said was dangerous. What President Trump took himself as a preventative, some in mainstream media said could kill people. The President was right. The media talking heads were wrong.
Now, we have to ask the morbid but important question: How many people died as a result of mainstream media’s Trump Derangement Syndrome? Dr David Samadi estimates it could be thousands. Dr. Samadi talked about the coronavirus on our podcast in May:
I want to ensure that everyone understands the gravity of the situation here. Hydroxychloroquine worked this whole time. The media said it would literally kill you if you took it simply because POTUS promoted it as a cure. Thousands of people likely DIED because of this. — Dr. David Samadi (@drdavidsamadi) July 3, 2020
This isn’t the first study to point to the potential benefits of Hydroxychloroquine as part of a treatment regimen, but it’s the first to be generally accepted as comprehensive enough to draw strong conclusions. For months, smaller studies have shown promising results, but the counter-narrative from both Democrats and mainstream media cast continuous doubt on the efficacy of the treatment. It prompted many doctors to hesitate in prescribing the anti-Malaria drug despite being proven safe to humans for the last seven decades.
Many politicians even tried blocking it as a possible treatment, all because President Trump touted it. Some at NOQ Report have speculated that if Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi or former Vice President Joe Biden had touted the drug before the President did, the narrative would have been reversed. It seems as if even in matters that should squarely fall on doctors and scientists, politics got in the way. As a result, people died.
Others are pointing their fingers squarely at mainstream media, including former acting DNI Richard Grenell:
A very real question should be asked by real journalists: Did some US media outlets encourage people to NOT take a drug that could have saved their lives- all because they hate Trump? https://t.co/QiSiXwQpmr — Richard Grenell (@RichardGrenell) July 3, 2020
Imagine if mainstream media’s Trump Derangement Syndrome had been put on hold for the sake of saving lives. It’s impossible to know how many people could have been saved, but one thing is certain. Some would have been.

Clinton-Linked Democrat Pedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s ‘Pimp’ Ghislaine Maxwell Spread $20 Million Over 15 Bank Accounts, Used Fake Name ‘G-Max,’ Bought Homes in Cash to Evade Capture

GHISLAINE Maxwell has at least 15 separate bank accounts with a total of $ 20million that funded her jet-set lifestyle - even as she was under investigation as an accomplice of Jeffrey Epstein .
The British socialite was yesterday arrested on sex trafficking charges at a luxury property in New Hampshire , where she had been hiding out with three passports and “ large sums of money ” in savings .
Maxwell bought the $ 1million home – named `` Tuckedaway '' – in cash and is said to have been living like a `` movie star '' .
Aerial @ @ @ @ @ @ @ four-bedroom house in the middle of a large forest in the Bradford area .
Maxwell has previously denied any wrongdoing in her association with Epstein .
Speaking to The Sun , a neighbour said : “ Very few people saw her – I think most assumed she was a celebrity , as she was very low key .
“ She had the means to buy the house and not go outside very often .
`` She seemed to have at least one person in particular who would do things for her .
We @ @ @ @ @ @ @ secluded home is described in a listing as an “ amazing retreat for the nature lover who also wants total privacy ” .
It has features including a floor-to-ceiling fireplace , a “ spectacular chandelier ” and a “ large master bath with soaking tub ” .
A British man had approached real estate agents about the property , saying he had recently sold his tech company and was looking for a new place in the US .
One of the brokers told the Daily Beast : “ They said they didn ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I thought it must be a movie star .
“ She wanted to know what the flight patterns were over the house , which was very strange.
” Details of Maxwell ’ s wealthy lifestyle were laid out in a ten-page detention memo after she was arrested and taken to jail .
Prosecutors claimed her huge fortune gave her an “ extraordinary incentive to flee ” as well as the means and money to do so .
She had made at least 15 international flights in the last three years to locations including @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , the court papers claimed .

GHISLAINE Maxwell has at least 15 separate bank accounts with a total of $20million that funded her jet-set lifestyle - even as she was under investigation as an accomplice of Jeffrey Epstein.
The British socialite was yesterday arrested on sex trafficking charges at a luxury property in New Hampshire, where she had been hiding out with three passports and “large sums of money” in savings.

Maxwell bought the $1million home – named "Tuckedaway" – in cash and is said to have been living like a "movie star".
Aerial photos released by the FBI show the four-bedroom house in the middle of a large forest in the Bradford area.
Maxwell has previously denied any wrongdoing in her association with Epstein.
Speaking to The Sun, a neighbour said: “Very few people saw her – I think most assumed she was a celebrity, as she was very low key.
“She had the means to buy the house and not go outside very often.
"She seemed to have at least one person in particular who would do things for her. We would see him driving about.”
The secluded home is described in a listing as an “amazing retreat for the nature lover who also wants total privacy”.
It has features including a floor-to-ceiling fireplace, a “spectacular chandelier” and a “large master bath with soaking tub”.
A British man had approached real estate agents about the property, saying he had recently sold his tech company and was looking for a new place in the US.
One of the brokers told the Daily Beast: “They said they didn’t want her name known, so I thought it must be a movie star.
“She wanted to know what the flight patterns were over the house, which was very strange.”
Details of Maxwell’s wealthy lifestyle were laid out in a ten-page detention memo after she was arrested and taken to jail.
Prosecutors claimed her huge fortune gave her an “extraordinary incentive to flee” as well as the means and money to do so.
She had made at least 15 international flights in the last three years to locations including the UK, Japan, and Qatar, the court papers claimed.

Mob Goes After Canadian Flag

In light of Canada Day , an article by Freshdaily urges for the 55-year-old Canadian flag to be replaced by an Indigenous creator ’ s rendition .

In light of Canada Day, an article by Freshdaily urges for the 55-year-old Canadian flag to be replaced by an Indigenous creator’s rendition.
"Lots of things could be improved about Canada, and maybe our flag would be a good place to start," the article begins.
The late Curtis Wilson—also known by his traditional name "Mulidzas"—designed the artwork. His native interpretation infuses Indigenous symbols hidden inside the current Canadian flag.
The signature maple leaf, which has been on the Canadian Red Ensign since 1868, contains a killer whale for protection.
The salmon—a fertile provider and source of life for the Kwakwaka’wakw people—on the outer red bands represent "family," "friendships," and "strength in numbers." Wilson’s Canadian Native Flag translates from its Indigenous name to "standing together in support of each other."
Wilson recognized himself as a Canadian and First Nations Canadian and infused his dual identity into his work, reflecting both his cultural heritage and the current nation.
In an explanation of Wilson’s work, he wrote, "Throughout my life, I have come to learn all the different relationships, interactions, hardships and struggles that First Nations people have faced in this country."
"His legacy resounds on Canada Day in 2020 less than a year after his death, with people acknowledging they live on stolen, unceded land," the Freshdaily article ends.
This piece is in response to Wilson’s flag floating around Twitter on Canada Day, used as political imagery against the alleged recent wave of "systemic racism" towards Indigenous and black people.
It is Canada Day. Remember that we live on stolen land and there is nothing to celebrate.
This is the Canadian Native Flag created in 2001 by Curtis Wilson. https://t.co/8bJUKVygD5 pic.twitter.com/SqERPNi9DE — Is it 2021 yet (@emyreadsbooks) July 1, 2020
Contrary to the "racist" narrative Freshdaily aligns with, the modern day Canadian flag is a source of national pride for all Canadians since its unveiling in 1965, according to the Department of Canadian Heritage.
During a period known as the Great Flag Debate, a parliamentary committee was created and given a 6-week deadline to agree on a national flag. This became a project by the people for the people in search of an icon that represents Canadians everywhere, present and future.
Thousands of designs poured in until the iconic version was picked that is seen flying high today.
The "inclusive" Canadian Native Flag would ironically exclude millions of Canadian citizens, an injustice that ignores the work of a nation.
In the words of Canadian politician and flag developer John Matheson, the flag "was the handiwork of many loving hands, extended over a long period of Canada’s history."

Thankfully , people are able to see clearly what took place here and who was actually escalating things .

CNN Fake News Censors, MSNBC Democrat Propagandists Barely Carries President Trump’s Historic Speech at Mount Rushmore

On Friday night , CNN and MSNBC put on display their hatred for America by either completely ignoring or barely covering President Donald Trump ’ s 42-minute speech at Mount Rushmore that offered a full-throated defense of the four Presidents engraved in the South Dakota mountainside , who have come under attack by a liberal media hellbent on poisoning Americans into trashing those who came before us .
CNN refused to carry a single second of the speech .
Instead , they ran previously-aired specials on blaming the President for the country ’ s coronavirus response and then how bats @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wasn ’ t much better , airing only four minutes and 44 seconds live , which worked out to just over 11 percent .
Of course , the Fox News Channel carried the speech in its entirety .
According to the MRC ’ s recording system , the President stepped to the microphone below Mount Rushmore in Keystone , South Dakota at 10:50:54 p.m. Eastern time , but it wouldn ’ t be until 11:00:42 p.m. Eastern that MSNBC joined for the first of two excerpts , which ran for a scant three @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Well , The Beat host Ari Melber and his panel of America-trashing , far-left journalistic hacks couldn ’ t stomach anymore .
Repeatedly , Melber insisted that MSNBC wouldn ’ t debase itself to serve as another C-SPAN for Trump .
Melber complained in that first pull-away : The President of the United States there speaking at part of this Independence Day weekend event .
We just heard him say something that had been previewed by the White House and that we ’ ve been reporting : the argument that people seeking change @ @ @ @ @ @ @ seeking to somehow disgrace , as he put it , every presidential face on Mount Rushmore .
As our experts and others have argued , it may be more complex than that .
It is 9:04 p.m .
In South Dakota .
We 'll continue monitoring the speech for any newsworthy events , as promised .
Sorry , Ari , but how else should one characterize spending the hour-plus prior with guests trashing the event as a “ dog whistle , ” honoring of a country that ’ s condoned slaughter of Black @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a “ racial cultural war , ” “ unsafe , ” and giving voice to our country ’ s history of “ white supremacy ?
” Melber would relent exactly 13 and a half minutes later , dipping into the President for one minute and 20 seconds before the control room cut him off for a commercial break .
And from there , the President was not to be heard from again ( even in highlights ) before Melber ended MSNBC ’ s live programming for the night at 11:43 p.m. Eastern .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ rely on Melber and his cast of leftists for their interpretations of what the President said , fixating on a passage acknowledging the arrest of the so-called mastermind in the attempt to bring down an Andrew Jackson statue in Washington .
For its part , CNN wouldn ’ t return to live programming until midnight Eastern with a CNN International simulcast .
In that first hour , they only aired a 58-second soundbite of Trump calling on Americans “ of every race , in every city , and every part of this glorious @ @ @ @ @ @ @ our history , our heritage , and our great heroes ” because “ we will not be intimidated by bad , evil people.
” It should be noted that this was an even worse showing for CNN than their paltry effort back on June 20 for the President ’ s Tulsa campaign rally .
Our Scott Whitlock crunched those numbers and found that CNN begrudgingly carried live three minutes and 25 seconds ( or 3.4 percent ) of that event .
In the case of MSNBC , Mount Rushmore was an improvement if @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they aired three minutes and 45 seconds ( or 3.7 percent ) of the Tulsa rally .
