Joe Biden has named Kamala Harris as his running mate, making the California senator the first Black and South Asian American woman to run on a major political party’s presidential ticket.
“I’ve decided that Kamala Harris is the best person to help me take this fight to Donald Trump and Mike Pence and then to lead this nation starting in January 2021,” the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee wrote in an email Tuesday.
In selecting Harris, Biden adds a former primary rival who centered her own presidential bid on her readiness to take on Donald Trump and show Americans she would fight for them. She rose to national prominence within the Democratic Party by interrogating Trump nominees during Senate hearings, from former Attorney General Jeff Sessions to Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

I recently wrote about an old 1984 interview with former communist Yuri Bezmenov, who described the “ideological subversion” that could eventually take down America.
It sounds like the stuff of conspiracy theories – until one realizes that his predictions of “demoralization,” “destabilization,” and “crisis” are all unfolding before our eyes.
Pondering his prophetic words, I hunted up an old book a friend mentioned to me years ago: “The Naked Communist.” The title, I admit, is chuckle-worthy, but the words inside are no laughing matter, particularly when one reads the section titled, “Importance of the Psychological War.”
Written in 1958, some of the “current strategy goals which the Communists and their fellow travelers are seeking to achieve” seem dated and read like a history book from the past. But then one comes to item number 17:
“Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers’ associations. Put the party line in textbooks.” (Emphasis added.)

Some Black Lives Matter protesters in Salt Lake City could face up to life in prison if they ’ re convicted of splashing red paint and smashing windows during a protest , a potential punishment that stands out among demonstrators arrested around the country and one that critics say doesn ’ t fit the alleged crime .

Prosecutors said Wednesday that ’ s justified because the protesters worked together to cause thousands of dollars in damage , but watchdogs called the use of the 1990s-era @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of criminal justice reform and minority communities .
“ This is so far beyond just the enforcement of the law , it feels retaliatory , ” said Madalena McNeil , who is facing a potential life sentence over felony criminal mischief and riot charges .

Some Black Lives Matter protesters in Salt Lake City could face up to life in prison if they’re convicted of splashing red paint and smashing windows during a protest, a potential punishment that stands out among demonstrators arrested around the country and one that critics say doesn’t fit the alleged crime.
The felony criminal mischief charges are more serious because they carry a gang enhancement. Prosecutors said Wednesday that’s justified because the protesters worked together to cause thousands of dollars in damage, but watchdogs called the use of the 1990s-era law troubling, especially in the context of criminal justice reform and minority communities.
“This is so far beyond just the enforcement of the law, it feels retaliatory,” said Madalena McNeil, who is facing a potential life sentence over felony criminal mischief and riot charges. Charging documents say she bought red paint at a Home Depot before the July 9 demonstration sparked by a fatal police shooting ruling. She later yelled at and shifted her weight as if to slam into police during the demonstration, charges state. “It’s really frustrating and scary … I just feel so much concern for what this means for the right to protest in general.”
The charges have Democratic leaders at odds in Salt Lake City, the liberal-leaning capital of conservative Utah, with the top county prosecutor arguing vandalism crossed a line and the mayor calling the charges too extreme.
The potential life sentence stands out as harsh punishment even among other people facing felony charges stemming from protests around the country. In Portland, Oregon, for instance, a 32-year-old man is facing up to 20 years on an arson charge alleging he broke into a building that houses the police headquarters and set an office on fire. – READ MORE

The Portland Police Department arrested numerous rioters on Sunday night as the city continues to grapple with Antifa violence.
In a statement, the department said that “commercial grade fireworks were thrown at officers trying to clear an unlawful assembly, including a mortar that injured two officers, and a riot was declared.”
A couple hundred far-left rioters marched toward the Portland Police Association (PPA) Offices late at night and quickly began “barricading streets with dumpsters and fencing.”
“A fire was lit on the sidewalk outside the PPA office,” the department added. “Fire and an ambulance was enroute to a medical call and had to reroute to get around the street blockage.”
As police tried to disperse the rioters, some individuals engaged in “blocking traffic with dumpsters, pieces of fencing, and other items. Some small fires were lit in the roadway.” – READ MORE

The group that takes credit for the Occupy Wall Street movement of 2011 has a new and even more outrageous plan in mind .
They intend to “ occupy ” the White House .
Adbusters , an online magazine that describes itself as “ a global network of artists , activists , writers , pranksters , students , educators and entrepreneurs who want to advance the new social activist movement of the information age ” issued a post that they called Tactical Briefing # 1 to launch their plans to “ lay siege ” to the President ’ s home @ @ @ @ @ @ @ theirs ) It ’ s been nine years since we set off the political earthquake of # OccupyWallStreet , laying siege to NYC ’ s Zuccotti Park and inspiring thousands of similar protests around the world .

Inequality has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ CEO spent a night in jail for his role in the 2008 financial meltdown .

Let us once again summon the sweet , revolutionary nonviolence that was our calling card in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the U.S. election season — and it doesn ’ t stop there .

A siege only works if it is sustained. We witnessed this — the multiplying power of a strategic occupation — nine years ago. You dig in, hold your ground, and the tension accumulates, amplifies, goes global.
Fifty days — September 17th to November 3rd.
Let us once again summon the sweet, revolutionary nonviolence that was our calling card in Zuccotti Park.
