Vice President Mike Pence just epically shut down CBS White House correspondent Paula Reid after she suggested that he is a hypocrite for attending campaign rallies during the coronavirus pandemic .
Reid tried to attack Pence during a White House coronavirus task force briefing Friday , claiming that he and the rest of Donald Trump ’ s administration have set confusing examples when it comes to what is safe and what isn ’ t amidst the COVID-19 pandemic .
“ On the campaign , ” Reid began , “ it really does sound though like you ’ re saying ‘ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we do.
’ You ’ re telling people to listen to local officials , but in Tulsa , you defied local health officials to have an event that , even though you say didn ’ t result in a spike , dozens of Secret Service agents , dozen of campaign staffers are now quarantined after positive tests.
” She went on to cite President Trump ’ s rally in Tulsa , Oklahoma last week , questioning Pence as to how large rallies would not increase the risk of spreading coronavirus .
Pence , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it .
“ I want to remind you again that the freedom of speech and the right to peacefully assemble is enshrined in the Constitution of the United States , ” he said , according to The Blaze .
“ Even in a health crisis , the American people don ’ t forfeit our constitutional rights.

“ [ I ] t ’ s so important that we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reopen America , now two months ago , and as all 50 states are opening up the country , people are going back to work , ” he said .
“ American everyday life is being restored one step , one day at a time .
I think it ’ s important that we remind ourselves this is not a choice between the health of the American people and a strong economy.
” Pence also pointed out that there are “ profound health implications ” for people who remain in lockdown for lengthy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to be back to work .
And so , our objective here today is to make sure the American people know in 34 states the cases are largely stable and there ’ s no combination of rising cases and rising positivity rates , ” he said .
“ That ’ s a tribute to the American people.
” Reid and her fellow liberal reporters will definitely be thinking twice before they mess with Pence again !

Vice President Mike Pence just epically shut down CBS White House correspondent Paula Reid after she suggested that he is a hypocrite for attending campaign rallies during the coronavirus pandemic.
Reid tried to attack Pence during a White House coronavirus task force briefing Friday, claiming that he and the rest of Donald Trump’s administration have set confusing examples when it comes to what is safe and what isn’t amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.
“On the campaign,” Reid began, “it really does sound though like you’re saying ‘Do as we say, not as we do.’ You’re telling people to listen to local officials, but in Tulsa, you defied local health officials to have an event that, even though you say didn’t result in a spike, dozens of Secret Service agents, dozen of campaign staffers are now quarantined after positive tests.”
She went on to cite President Trump’s rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma last week, questioning Pence as to how large rallies would not increase the risk of spreading coronavirus.
Pence, however, was not having any of it.
“I want to remind you again that the freedom of speech and the right to peacefully assemble is enshrined in the Constitution of the United States,” he said, according to The Blaze.
“Even in a health crisis, the American people don’t forfeit our constitutional rights.”

Not stopping there, Pence explained that it is crucial that America get back to business as usual, as the election cycle continues.
“[I]t’s so important that we recognize, as we issued guidance to reopen America, now two months ago, and as all 50 states are opening up the country, people are going back to work,” he said. “American everyday life is being restored one step, one day at a time. I think it’s important that we remind ourselves this is not a choice between the health of the American people and a strong economy.”
Pence also pointed out that there are “profound health implications” for people who remain in lockdown for lengthy periods of time.
“People need to be back to work. And so, our objective here today is to make sure the American people know in 34 states the cases are largely stable and there’s no combination of rising cases and rising positivity rates,” he said.
“That’s a tribute to the American people.” Reid and her fellow liberal reporters will definitely be thinking twice before they mess with Pence again!

thepoliticalinsider--2020-06-27--Minneapolis City Council Officially Approves Legislation To Abolish Police Department

In a unanimous vote , the Minneapolis City Council officially approved a measure to abolish the police force on Friday .
Though the 12-0 vote will not completely dismantle the police force , it is the first step in a lengthy process that will culminate in the residents of the Minnesota city voting on the legislation in the November election , according to the New York Post .
This measure came in direct response to the death of George Floyd , who died in police custody last month in Minneapolis .
Disturbing footage went viral showing now-former Officer Derek Chauvin @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the man desperately told him that he couldn ’ t breath .
Chauvin has since been arrested for Floyd ’ s murder , as have the three other officers who were involved .
The city council responded to Floyd ’ s death by introducing this measure to abolish the police force and replace it with the “ Department of Community Safety and Violence Prevention.
” The department that they are envisioning would consist of peace officers who would protect the public through “ a holistic , public health-oriented approach.
” “ It is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ council member Steve Fletcher told the Associated Press before the vote .
“ It is time to start from scratch and reinvent what public safety looks like.
” The next step for this measure is for it to pass through a committee before it is reviewed by the city ’ s Charter Commission .
Once this happens , it will have to be approved again by the entire city council in a meeting that is scheduled for August 21 .
“ I hope that the Charter Commission will recognize the moment that we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ support , however we can provide it , to expedite this process so that voters have a chance to have their voices heard on this important question and this important moment in our city ’ s history , ” Council President Lisa Bender said , according to Daily Mail .
It should be noted that Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey does not support this measure and will have the power to veto it , should it continue to pass through these various legislation hoops .
Barry Clegg , chairman of the Charter Commission , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ huge fan of the measure , as he said the process seems rushed .
“ As I understand it , they are saying , ‘ We are going to have this new department .
We don ’ t know what it ’ s going to look like yet .
We won ’ t implement this for a year , we ’ ll figure it out , ' ” Clegg said .
“ For myself anyway , I would prefer that we figured it out first , and then voted on it.

This measure came in direct response to the death of George Floyd, who died in police custody last month in Minneapolis.
Disturbing footage went viral showing now-former Officer Derek Chauvin kneeling on Floyd’s neck as the man desperately told him that he couldn’t breath.
Chauvin has since been arrested for Floyd’s murder, as have the three other officers who were involved.
The city council responded to Floyd’s death by introducing this measure to abolish the police force and replace it with the “Department of Community Safety and Violence Prevention.”
The department that they are envisioning would consist of peace officers who would protect the public through “a holistic, public health-oriented approach.”
“It is time to make structural change,” council member Steve Fletcher told the Associated Press before the vote.
“It is time to start from scratch and reinvent what public safety looks like.”
The next step for this measure is for it to pass through a committee before it is reviewed by the city’s Charter Commission.
Once this happens, it will have to be approved again by the entire city council in a meeting that is scheduled for August 21.
“I hope that the Charter Commission will recognize the moment that we are in and take our offer of support, however we can provide it, to expedite this process so that voters have a chance to have their voices heard on this important question and this important moment in our city’s history,” Council President Lisa Bender said, according to Daily Mail.

thepoliticalinsider--2020-06-27--President Trump Says Some U.S. Cities Akin To ‘Living In Hell’

In an interview on Thursday with Sean Hannity of Fox News that touched on several topics , President Trump commented on the crime rate in Democratic-controlled urban centers , John Bolton , and new revelations that Democrats knew from the beginning that the charge of Russian collusion was false .
As murder rates soar in Democrat-run cities the president said , “ Chicago is an example , it is worse than Afghanistan These cities , it ’ s like living in hell.
” Chicago is a target for the president ’ s ire after the city saw 18 murders in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the city ’ s deadliest day in 60 years .
Baltimore and Detroit have seen their murder rates grow to unprecedented numbers in 2020 , with Baltimore recording 159 murders to date and Detroit seeing a 30 percent increase in homicides as of June 18 with 129 killings .
The correlation between Democratic-controlled cities and rampant crime and poverty is a national phenomenon and has been a truism for many decades .
But GOP mayors have turned that around when they had the chance .
One tactic that changed New York for the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and frisk .
The president agrees with it : “ It ’ s very controversial to stay , stop and frisk .
You take guns away… Rudy Giuliani was a great mayor .
He did it in New York.
” The president was not so complimentary to John Bolton : “ He didn ’ t do a good job .
He wasn ’ t smart .
He wasn ’ t sharp… He ’ s the only man I think I ever met—I knew him for a year—I don ’ t think I ever @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to him , ‘ John , do you ever smile ?
’ And , it tells you something about somebody.
” Trump seemed incredulous that Joe Biden , a man with a serious communication handicap , was the presumptive Democrat nominee : “ It ’ s so crazy what ’ s happening .
Here ’ s a guy who doesn ’ t talk .
Nobody hears him .
Whenever he does talk , he can ’ t put two sentences together .
I don ’ t want to be nice or un-nice .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ t speak.
” As if to prove Trump correct once again , Biden on Thursday made a gaffe during a campaign stop in Pennsylvania when he said 120 million people in the United States had died from coronavirus .
There are approximately 328 million people in the United States as of 2019 .
Thus according to Biden , more than one third of them are now dead .
As per recent news on the charges laid against him by the Democrats of colluding with the Russians : “ We have Schumer and Pelosi @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I honestly believe don ’ t love our country .
What they do to our country and what they ’ ve done with this scam… Now it came out that Mueller should have announced in the first week that we did nothing wrong .
They had evidence in the first few days that there was no collusion with Russia .
There was nothing to do with Russia .
They knew that immediately.
” As the president gears up for the fall election , these themes will likely be heard again on the campaign @ @ @ @ @ @ @ PoliZette Staff on June 27 , 2020 .

As murder rates soar in Democrat-run cities the president said, “Chicago is an example, it is worse than Afghanistan These cities, it’s like living in hell.”
Chicago is a target for the president’s ire after the city saw 18 murders in one day. That made May 31 the city’s deadliest day in 60 years.

Former House Oversight Committee chairman Trey Gowdy just spoke out to blast cancel culture , pointing out how ridiculous it is that it is now targeting the national anthem as “ offensive.

” “ Is it time for this country to dispense with ‘ The Star-Spangled Banner ’ and adopt a new anthem with a less troubling history and a more inclusive message ?
” Parker questioned .
This also came after the semi-professional soccer team Tulsa Athletic that it will play Oklahoma-born singer-songwriter Woody Guthrie ’ s “ This Land is Your Land ” before matches to be more inclusive .
“ After carefully reviewing ‘ The Star-Spangled Banner ’ lyrics and meaning , including @ @ @ @ @ @ @ refuge could save the hireling and slave / From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave… , ’ Tulsa Athletic came to the decision that the song does not align with the club ’ s core values .
While this verse is rarely sung , Tulsa Athletic does not believe ‘ The Star-Spangled Banner ’ represents or unites their diverse players , fans , and community , ” the team said in a statement .
Gowdy fired back by pointing out that Guthrie is seen by some as a “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ thinks he wrote that song because he didn ’ t like ‘ God Bless America.
’ ” “ So , I promise you that song is going to offend someone too , and pretty soon we ’ re just going to be humming the theme to ‘ The Young and The Restless ’ or find something that doesn ’ t offend anyone , ” the former congressman joked .
Not stopping there , Gowdy went on to say that he would “ be shocked ” if any viewers were aware of the stanza @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
“ Be that as it may , I believe in participatory democracy , ” Gowdy said .
“ And if people want to change things , more power to them .
I mean , the ‘ Star-Spangled Banner ’ hasn ’ t changed in the 55 years I ’ ve been on Earth , ” he went on .
“ And up until about 24 hours ago , I never heard anyone offended by it .

Okay ?
” he added .
“ Half the country doesn ’ t like that .

LET’S HAVE A SERIOUS DISCUSSION
Every living or deceased person has committed some type of sin in their lifetime, that they would not want anyone to know. You cannot judge a person. Like Washington, Jefferson, etc. as they were a product of a different time that most people have not taken the time nor been taught about.
“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.” George Orwell – 1984
If taking down Confederate statues, renaming schools, etc. in the South is going to help folks feel better about themselves…WHAT about the people in places like Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, Detroit, Oakland, Baltimore, Columbus, St. Louis, Newark, and so many other places where there AREN’T any Confederate statues making life tough for them?
What are there excuses?
WHY ARE PROTESTERS AFRAID OF THE BALLOT BOX?
This isn’t hard. Put it to a vote in the municipalities where a statue or monument is present.

Why would you turn to mob destruction or executive action to solve any issues, when you could just as quickly be the victim of the same? Why haven’t these people bothered to learn about their system, heritage, and history, and they of the other 190 nations on earth so that they can truly understand the world they live in and make smart choices?
You can’t change history, nor can you hide it. However, you can learn from history, mistakes, AND successes. So we need to leave the records of our past stay intact, so current and future generations may still learn.
YOU KNOW WHAT’S SCARY
What’s scary about the current iconoclastic fad is how quickly it moved from Confederate statues to non-Confederate statues of people who may have owned slaves, to statues of those who fought AGAINST slavery such as abolitionist Colonel Hans Christian Heg who died as a Union soldier in the Civil War.
This is how unchecked lawlessness evolves. First is the justification, and then, with no opposition, chaos. I would suggest that anyone who supports the illegal destruction of statues read up on the French Revolution, and how quickly the killing of the guilty turned into the killing of everyone.
HOW FAR BACK SHOULD WE GO WITH THE ATTACK ON STATUES?
No statue deserves to fall any more than paint needs to be splattered on city streets or businesses need to be looted in the name of “justice.” It makes no sense, but the media continues to pump life into it.

The singer Taylor Swift just launched an all-out assault on the 2020 census, claiming that transgender and non-binary people are being discriminated against because it only lists two gender options”—male and female.
Swift, 30, made these comments while appearing on the Pride Live’s Stonewall Day Instagram livestream, which was holding an event marking the anniversary of the 1969 riots that took place at the Stonewall Inn, a New York City gay bar where the LGBT movement was launched.
“I wanted to say happy Pride Month,” Swift said at the start of her speech. “The Stonewall Inn has been such a symbol of rebellion in the face of oppression and such a safe space for people. I want to say thank you to everybody who works there, everyone who has worked there, everyone who’s made it the place that it is.”
After praising the Supreme Court for its June 15 ruling protecting LGBT workers from job discrimination, which she described as a “really good step forward,” Swift shifted to attacking the census.
“I got my census the other day, and there were two choices for gender. There was male and female, and that erasure was so upsetting to me, the erasure of transgender and non-binary people,” she said. “And when you don’t collect information on a group of people, that means that you have every excuse in the world not to support them.”
“When you don’t collect data on a community, that’s a really, really brutal way of dismissing them,” Swift added.
Swift then ended her speech by urging her fans to exercise their right to vote.
“We need to check our absentee ballot policy in our states, and we need to make sure that we elect people who care about all communities,” she said. “I love you guys so much, and I hope you have an amazing rest of Pride Month and continue fighting the good fight.”
After getting her start in the conservative world of country music, Swift spent years staying silent about politics. This was refreshing to fans on all sides of the political spectrum, given how inundated we are every day with wild political opinions from narcissistic celebrities.
Unfortunately, Swift “came out” two years ago as a radical liberal, and she has since been using her platform to lecture her fans about the importance of leftwing causes.

thepoliticalinsider--2020-06-28--Senator Tim Scott Rips Into Pelosi For Saying Republicans Killed George Floyd

Senator Tim Scott ( R-SC ) blasted House Speaker Nancy Pelosi ( D-CA ) on Friday , telling Fox News Radio ‘ s “ The Guy Benson Show ” that her speech accusing the GOP of “ trying to get away with…the murder of George Floyd ” was “ the most outrageous , sinful comment I ’ ve heard as a public official.
” He made this statement after an eloquent plea in the Senate subsequent to Democrats blocking his police reform bill .
Pelosi said of the GOP : “ For something to happen , they ’ re going @ @ @ @ @ @ @ police brutalities , the realities of the need for justice in policing , and the recognition that there ’ s many good people in law enforcement , but not all .
And that we have to address those concerns .
So , when they admit that , and have some suggestions that are worthy of consideration — but so far they were trying to get away with murder , actually — the murder of George Floyd.
” The woman is clearly unhinged .
“ I thought to myself , ‘ How in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ front of a $ 24,000 refrigerator , have the sense to jump into the bottomless pit of race politics ?
Why in the world would she want to do that ?
’ There ’ s only one answer , by the way , one answer .
It ’ s because she ’ s lived so long in a state of privilege that she has forgotten that it ’ s the Republican Party that voted more for the Civil Rights-era legislation than the Democrats .
It ’ s because she ’ s forgotten that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ justice reform done in 2018 that made up for the Democrats ’ 1994 crime bill.
” “ She ’ s forgotten that it ’ s the school choice movement that frees more kids in poverty from the poor education system brought to us by the Democrats and the teachers ’ unions than they ’ ve ever seen.
” This man needs to be president .
“ She has forgotten so much about reality that she spends too much time in an alternate universe .
But the facts are simple .
Why in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ And it ’ s simply this : They believe — and I truly believe this — they believe that campaigning on police brutality is more important than solving police reform .
That tells me that their issue is not police reform , their issue is not helping the kids in the poorest neighborhoods , their issue is a political issue…so that , they for the next four months have a chance to campaign on police reform without exactly solving the issues of police reform.
” Senator Scott hit it square on the target @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and explained the basic corruption at the heart of Democrat politics and policies better than this .

Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) blasted House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) on Friday, telling Fox News Radio‘s “The Guy Benson Show” that her speech accusing the GOP of “trying to get away with…the murder of George Floyd” was “the most outrageous, sinful comment I’ve heard as a public official.”
He made this statement after an eloquent plea in the Senate subsequent to Democrats blocking his police reform bill.

Pelosi said of the GOP:
“For something to happen, they’re going to have to face the realities of police brutalities, the realities of the need for justice in policing, and the recognition that there’s many good people in law enforcement, but not all. And that we have to address those concerns. So, when they admit that, and have some suggestions that are worthy of consideration — but so far they were trying to get away with murder, actually — the murder of George Floyd.”
The woman is clearly unhinged.
Senator Scott told host Guy Benson in response to Pelosi:
“I thought to myself, ‘How in the world does this woman, standing in front of a $24,000 refrigerator, have the sense to jump into the bottomless pit of race politics? Why in the world would she want to do that?’ There’s only one answer, by the way, one answer. It’s because she’s lived so long in a state of privilege that she has forgotten that it’s the Republican Party that voted more for the Civil Rights-era legislation than the Democrats. It’s because she’s forgotten that it was President Trump and the criminal justice reform done in 2018 that made up for the Democrats’ 1994 crime bill.” “She’s forgotten that it’s the school choice movement that frees more kids in poverty from the poor education system brought to us by the Democrats and the teachers’ unions than they’ve ever seen.” This man needs to be president. “She has forgotten so much about reality that she spends too much time in an alternate universe. But the facts are simple. Why in the world would she stoop so low? And it’s simply this: They believe — and I truly believe this — they believe that campaigning on police brutality is more important than solving police reform. That tells me that their issue is not police reform, their issue is not helping the kids in the poorest neighborhoods, their issue is a political issue…so that, they for the next four months have a chance to campaign on police reform without exactly solving the issues of police reform.”
Senator Scott hit it square on the target. Perhaps never has a Republican understood and explained the basic corruption at the heart of Democrat politics and policies better than this. That party cares nothing for people, but only for power and politics. They will roll over anyone to get it, and when they do they will use the power only for self-aggrandizement.
It’s not that the GOP and President Trump are perfect. But they are the shining golden ideal of Periclean Athens compared to the sordid tawdry reality of dirty Democrat machine politics that has plagued this nation almost since its inception. Now, sporting a hard left ideology akin to faculty lounge Marxism, the Democrats pose a clear and present danger to the United States.

Anti-police sentiments have been at an all-time high in recent weeks in the wake of the death of George Floyd, who died in police custody in Minneapolis, Minnesota last month.
Now, it’s been revealed that officers in the NYPD have been retiring in droves since his passing.
The New York Post reported that since Floyd died on May 25, the NYPD has said that 272 uniformed cops have put in retirement papers.
The department added that this is a 49 percent increase from the 183 officers who filed during the same period last year.
A source inside the NYPD explained that these mass retirements could signal a coming crisis for the 36,000-member department, which has also been hit with a $1 billion budget reduction after Floyd’s death as calls to “defund the police” have grown.
“We are worried about a surge in attrition reducing our headcount beyond what we can sustain without new recruits, and are afraid the City Council has not taken the surge into account,” the source said.
Police Benevolent Association president Patrick Lynch spoke out to say that officers are “at their breaking point, whether they have 20 years on the job or only two. We are all asking the same question: ‘How can we keep doing our job in this environment?’ And that is exactly what the anti-cop crowd wants. If we have no cops because no one wants to be a cop, they will have achieved their ultimate goal.”
Ed Mullins, president of the Sergeants Benevolent Association, agreed by saying that an “exodus” from the NYPD has already started, adding that close to 80 of his members have recently filed for retirement, and that morale among cops is “at the lowest levels I’ve seen in 38 years.”
“People have had enough and no longer feel it’s worth risking their personal well-being for a thankless position,” Mullins said. “There is no leadership, no direction, no training for new policies,” he said.
“Department brass is paralyzed (and) too afraid to uphold their sworn oath in fear of losing their jobs. Sadly, the people of this city will soon experience what New York City was like in the 1980s.”
Many NYPD officers reportedly see themselves as collateral damage in the chaos that has ensued since Floyd was killed.
“It’s an all-out war on cops and we have no support,” said one veteran Brooklyn police officer, who is retiring next month. “I wanted to wait for my 30th anniversary in October, but the handwriting is on the wall.”
This serves as a reminder that police officers all over the country need our support now more than ever. The men and women in blue deserve better than what they are getting.

Cohen has been calling for Barr’s impeachment for over a week saying “he is reigning terror on the rule of law.”
Now, he’s formally submitted a resolution.
“Today, I introduced #HRes1032, which would authorize an impeachment inquiry into Attorney General Barr,” Cohen tweeted.
“He has politicized the DOJ, undermined the rule of law, abused his power, obstructed justice [and] violated the first amendment,” the Democrat added. “He is not fit to be Attorney General.”
We know the Obama admin weaponized the DOJ & FBI for political gain. Instead of condemning this bare-faced corruption, Democrats are vilifying AG Barr for bringing it to light and for working to hold those involved accountable. This is an absurdity.https://t.co/pIlLqTiMX3 — Senator Ted Cruz (@SenTedCruz) June 26, 2020

Perhaps this clown should concentrate on serving the people of Tennessee rather than wielding impeachment as a political weapon every time something happens that he disagrees with.
Cohen’s main points of contention lie in Barr’s reduction of sentencing for Roger Stone, something he calls a “travesty,” and the attorney General’s alleged role in a decision to remove rioters from Lafayette Square during a protest last month.
But Cohen has little to no support for the effort from more prominent Democrats.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-NY) called any effort to impeach Barr a “waste of time,” while House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) dismissed it by saying “let’s solve our problems by going to the polls and voting on Election Day.”
But then, she said that prior to the last election as well.
