As Boyd began recording the altercation, she alleged that the cop took a swing at her and hit her in the face.
“My tooth was knocked out. I have lip abrasions in my mouth. My teeth hurt really bad,” she told ABC7.
Boyd went on to accuse officers of stealing her phone. Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot has since responded to this in a brief statement.

thepoliticalinsider--2020-07-22--Far From Over: Trump And Biden Neck And Neck In The Polls

President Donald Trump and Joe Biden are currently neck and neck in the polls for this November ’ s election , so you can ’ t write off any result just yet !
Last week , Rasmussen Reports reported that the gap between President Trump and Biden in the polls had narrowed to only 3 points , with a previous 10 point gap .
This week , they ’ ve found that while Biden has seemingly hit a poll ceiling , the President is still edging up closer to him .
By Wednesday , the previous gap of 10 points @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trump at 45 % and Biden at 47 % – a result solidly within the margin of error for a poll .
Not only is this the case , but President Trump ’ s approval ratings are up to 49 % .
At this stage in Barack Obama ’ s presidency back in 2012 , the former President had the exact same approval rating .
Bear in mind , of course , that Obama went on to win re-election that very same year .

A recent set of polls also suggested there were a number of “ secret ” Trump voters in the swing states of Pennsylvania .
In a study conducted by Monmouth University , a majority of voters in the area believe that there is a significant number of “ secret Trump voters ” who aren ’ t speaking out about their beliefs in public or in polls .
54 % of registered voters said that they were surprised when Trump carried Pennsylvania ’ s electoral @ @ @ @ @ @ @ % think there “ a number of so-called secret voters in their communities who support Trump but won ’ t tell anyone about it.
” If the Monmouth polling is accurate , combined with this , then those who speak of doom and gloom and imminent Biden presidency may be kicking themselves come November !
President Trump stormed into office in 2016 , defying all the pundits and polls , so this very much could be the same case this year .
Do not give up hope !

Solid Approval Rating For The President

thepoliticalinsider--2020-07-22--Tammy Duckworth Claims Tucker Carlson Criticism Was Because She Is Asian-American

Senator Tammy Duckworth said that the criticism that she received from Fox ’ s Tucker Carlson was simply due to the fact she is Asian-American .
Duckworth appeared on CNN ’ s Newsroom on Tuesday , with Brianna Keilar , and discussed the recent criticism of her by conservative pundit , Tucker Carlson .
Keilar directed Duckworth to Carlson ’ s takedown of her , which including calling the Senator from Illinois a “ moron ” and a “ coward , ” for arguing that there is “ a national discussion ” to be had on removing certain memorials .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ , a fair enough criticism given her willingness to engage with the far-left mob to take down memorials of patriots from across the country .
This is something a veteran should not consider , but Duckworth , who served in Iraq , is seemingly up for it .
“ When you love the Constitution , and you love this country as much as I do , so much so that you ’ re willing to lay down your life to protect and defend her , then you must agree to defend the rights @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lie about you , ” Duckworth argued , launching into a tirade against Carlson : Of course , I don ’ t want statues of George Washington torn down any more than I would want the Purple Heart that he founded ripped from my chest , but I will defend the right for Tucker Carlson to be the obnoxious person that he is and to lie about me because that ’ s what our country is all about .
And if you truly love America and you truly love the Constitution , then @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s right to express their opinions , even loathsome ones that are lies that you don ’ t agree with .
I ’ m to this day I ’ m willing if they want to call me back up and put the uniform on , and I ’ ll go back to combat to defend his right to be odious .
Keilar asked Duckworth whether she thought she was singled out because she is a potential candidate for Vice President .
Duckworth argued it was a lot more simple than that .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ because I ’ m Asian-American and I look different .
Asian-Americans have always been the other in our society , ” she said .
“ He doesn ’ t want America to be as diverse as it should be .
In fact , he used I think ten words of the white supremacy statement on that , ” she continued .
“ So this is what they do , they go after your strength .
But they also single others —folks to try to make them others .
My family has fought and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I am , to this day , willing to defend his right to have his opinions.
” What a load of nonsense !
Duckworth is clearly playing the race card here , to deflect from what is sensible criticism levelled against her by a conservative pundit .
Only someone who hates this country would even consider taking down statues and memorials to those that founded it or were heroes of the Republic .

Hollywood actress-turned-activist Alyssa Milano had yet another meltdown on Twitter on Tuesday , this time accusing federal agents of “ terrorizing the community ” of Portland , Oregon after they were sent in to stop the violent riots that are happening there .
Milano took to Twitter to defend the Portland rioters , conveniently not mentioning the violence they have caused throughout the city .
The violent acts that they have carried out include setting both the Portland Police Association and the Portland federal courthouse ablaze , while also assaulting law enforcement officials throughout the city .
Despite this , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ look like the victims .

Fox News Meteorologist and contributor Janice Dean slammed New York Governor Cuomo over a nursing home policy that she believes helped lead to the coronavirus deaths of her in-laws .
Dean , whose husband ’ s parents were both victims of COVID-19 , said that “ at first we didn ’ t blame anyone for my in-laws ’ deaths.

” That policy was a March 25th executive @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on patients that had tested positive for coronavirus .
An order which prohibited nursing homes from requiring incoming patients “ to be tested for COVID-19 prior to admission or readmission.
” Cuomo refused to reverse the directive for over six weeks while well over 6,500 senior citizens succumbed to the virus .

Fox News Meteorologist and contributor Janice Dean slammed New York Governor Cuomo over a nursing home policy that she believes helped lead to the coronavirus deaths of her in-laws.
Dean, whose husband’s parents were both victims of COVID-19, said that “at first we didn’t blame anyone for my in-laws’ deaths.”
“This is a pandemic, after all,” she wrote in an op-ed column for USA Today. “Then we learned about a policy that put them in danger.”
That policy was a March 25th executive order which forced nursing homes to take on patients that had tested positive for coronavirus. An order which prohibited nursing homes from requiring incoming patients “to be tested for COVID-19 prior to admission or readmission.”
Cuomo refused to reverse the directive for over six weeks while well over 6,500 senior citizens succumbed to the virus.

Dean went on to slam Cuomo for taking a veritable victory lap now that the dust has cleared and New York is starting to see a lull in COVID-19 cases.
The latest statistics show the Empire State suffered 32,218 deaths from the virus, more than the next three states combined.
Dean criticized him for releasing a self-drawn poster – which he is actually selling – honoring his pandemic response, and for an interview segment with brother Chris Cuomo in which the pair joked about the size of his nose.

Former President Barack Obama had a sit down with Joe Biden where the duo spoke about how their administration always took responsibility for their mistakes .
Biden posted a video to his Twitter account of the socially-distanced meeting along with the caption “ 44 + 46 , ” a reference to their possible presidential line numbers .
The video is a teaser of the conversation between the previous president and vice president .
In the clip , Biden and Obama criticize President Trump ’ s response to the coronavirus pandemic .
“ Can you imagine standing up when you were @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not my responsibility .

When did Obama and Biden take responsibility for spying on Trump’s presidential campaign? We must have missed it.
Some Obama-era officials may have no choice but to accept responsibility for the biggest political scandal of our time according to White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows.
In discussing the investigation by U.S. Attorney John Durham into the origins of the Russia collusion probe, Meadows said he “expect(s) indictments.”
“It’s all starting to come unraveled,” he said. “It’s all unraveling. And I tell you, it’s time that people go to jail and people are indicted.”

“We already have one Mitt Romney, we don’t need another…” Donald Trump Jr. said. “We also don’t need the endless wars she advocates for.”

Republicans criticized Cheney for backing Fauci and supporting Republican Thomas Massie’s primary challenger
Don Jr.’s tweet came in the wake of conservative lawmakers, including Gaetz, arguing on Tuesday with Cheney at a closed-door Republican meeting.
Several GOP members condemned the House Republican leader for her support of White House coronavirus task force team member Dr. Anthony Fauci and also Cheney’s support of Republican Congressman Thomas Massie’s primary challenger.

Liz Cheney told The Hill the conversation was “robust.” She said:
“Listen, we had a robust exchange of views. I think that, ultimately, you know, I started the conference by laying out all of the damage — what America would look like under a [former Vice President Joe] Biden, [Senate Minority Leader Charles] Schumer [D-N.Y.], [Speaker Nancy] Pelosi [D-Calif.] regime, essentially — and why it’s so important that we make sure, whether you’re talking about our Second Amendment rights, whether you’re talking about taxpayer funding for illegal immigrant health care, whether you’re talking about taxpayer funding for abortion, across the board, the damage that would be done, and ultimately we all want the same thing.”
“We all want to be in the same place,” Cheney added.

Gaetz: ‘Liz Cheney should step down or be removed’
Gaetz tweeted after the argument, saying Cheney “has worked behind the scenes (and now in public) against @realDonaldTrump and his agenda.”
“House Republicans deserve better as our Conference Chair,” he wrote. “Liz Cheney should step down or be removed.”

On Tuesday, Cheney commented on Trump Jr.’s tweet during an afternoon press conference saying the president’s son “is not a member of the House Republican Conference.”
“I take my position in leadership very seriously, I take the oath that I’m sworn to the Constitution, very seriously as I know all of us do, who are elected officials,” Cheney said. “And I think that, you know, we have a situation in many cases where in our conference we can have a healthy exchange of views, unfortunately, you don’t see that as much in the Democratic Caucus.”

To most Republicans and conservatives California seems like a lost cause .
With Democrat supermajorities in the state legislature , a far left governor , and a solid blue voter base , conservatives feel outnumbered and outgunned .
But when leftist Governor Gavin Newsom tried to block religious services over the coronavirus issue , religious leaders decided to fight back .

Says Fairrington , “ If we don ’ t take a stand , all we ’ re doing is kicking the can down the road and we will be having the same conversations in three weeks , six weeks , six months , or even a year from now , ” Fairrington told the press .
“ We @ @ @ @ @ @ @ say , ‘ We are the church , and we have a biblical and First Amendment right to worship together , ' ” the pastor said .
“ We believe that the local church serves a critical mental health , spiritual and community outreach role in our communities , as affirmed by our justice department and executive branch of government .
Our mandate is to obey the Word of God , and worship is a part of what we do as a church corporately .
As we pull together as a community , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fear , ” he added .
“ Just like our currency states , our founders pledged , and our churches believe : In God We Trust.
” Pastor Fairrington has received support not only from all over his state , but from across the country , as people of faith chafe at the seemingly arbitrary restrictions on their worship while rioters are encouraged to roam free .

She also set her sights on New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio (D), pointing out that he is having an “awfully hard time” taking on violent crime.
McEnany explained that President Donald Trump “thinks the mayor and the governor should work together to take control of the streets of New York City, where in some places we’ve seen a 600 percent surge in violence over last year.”
“It’s ultimately the power of the mayor to enforce, and the governor to enforce the police power of their states — that power rests with them, but they can partner with the federal government in the event they’re unable to enjoy the violence in their cities,” McEnany added, according to the New York Post. “And that’s certainly what we’ve seen from Mayor de Blasio, who seems to have not a hard time criticizing police officers but an awfully hard time controlling the streets of New York City.”
