What appeared to be an aide accompanying Nadler rushed in to get the Democrat away from the camera and whisked him away to a car nearby.
“Sir, there’s videos everywhere online,” Fletcher said as Nadler scurried to the waiting car. “There’s fires and riots, they’re throwing fireworks at federal officers. DHS is there.”
“Look online,” Fletcher added. “It gets crazy, Mr. Nadler.”

Jane Fonda And Natalie Portman Lead The Charge Urging Hollywood To Defund Police And End ‘Police Terror’

Jane Fonda and Natalie Portman are among the stars leading the charge in pressuring Hollywood to defund the police through a new petition from the Movement 4 Black Lives that is demanding an “ end to police terror.
” Fonda and Portman are two of the big names to sign the petition , with others being Debra Messing , John Legend , Kendrick Sampson , and Joaquin Phoenix .
The petition demands that local politicians slash police spending and increase funding for community programs as well as for other local initiatives .
“ We join in solidarity with the freedom @ @ @ @ @ @ @ across the United States .
And we call for the end to police terror , ” the petition states .
The petition makes the following three demands for local politicians : • None Vote no on all increases to police budgets • None Vote yes to decrease police spending and budgets • None Vote yes to increase spending on Health care , education and community programs that keep us safe .
It also specifically targets immigration enforcement for defunding .
“ Black communities are living in persistent fear of being killed by state @ @ @ @ @ @ @ even white vigilantes who are emboldened by state actors , ” the petition reads .
“ Despite continued profiling , harassment , terror and killing of Black communities , local and federal decision-makers continue to invest in the police , which leaves Black people vulnerable and our communities no safer.
” The Movement 4 Black Lives is an umbrella group that includes Black Lives Matter and claims to want to fight racial injustice .
The group ’ s website states that it is “ anti-capitalist , ” adding that “ we believe and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ liberation under the current global racialized capitalist system.
” This comes one month after Portman claimed that she was only afraid of the concept of defunding the police because of her “ white privilege.
” “ When I first heard # defundthepolice , I have to admit my first reaction was fear .
My whole life , police have made me feel safe .
But that ’ s exactly the center of my white privilege , ” Portman wrote on Instagram .
“ The police make me as a white woman feel safe @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and neighbors feel the opposite : police make them feel terror.

The Hingham Fire Department in Massachusetts was just forced to remove Thin Blue Line flags that they had put up to honor fallen police officers .
The flags were reportedly put up on the anniversary of the death of Officer Michael Chesna , who was killed in the line of duty in 2018 .
Sadly , the flags have now been deemed to be “ offensive , ” as have most pro-police symbols .
“ We continued to fly the flags after the anniversary in support of the law enforcement officers in our own community , as well as all @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on the line every day , ” the Hingham Fire Department said in a statement .
“ At NO TIME , was this meant to be a political statement in any way .
Nor was it an attempt to show support for , or against , any specific political party or advocacy group…While the members of Local 2398 are not pleased with the decision to remove the flags , we will continue our unwavering support for all the men and women of law enforcement who bravely protect their communities day in and day @ @ @ @ @ @ @ let it be known that they do not agree with the removal of the flags .
“ It ’ s a shame that that little particular line is more important than the man ’ s life , ” one person commented , with another adding , “ You know the black lives matter movement is important , too , and it ’ s important to honor police officers , too , that die in the line of duty.
” Others , however , have stood by the Thin Blue Line flags , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ put their own meanings on things and they take on a life of their own , ” Braintree Police Chief Mark Dubois said .
“ From my understanding , that flag is intended to honor those who ’ ve fallen in the line of duty , people like Sgt .

On a recent episode of the news and pop culture podcast “ The Steam Room , ” NBA legend Charles Barkley blasted the recent anti-semitic remarks that have been made by some prominent black people .
During the episode , Barkley called out the hypocrisy of those who claim other groups are racist while promoting hatred toward both Jewish and white people .
“ I want allies .
I don ’ t want to alienate anybody , ” Barkley said .
“ And to take shots at the Jewish race , or white race — I just don ’ t @ @ @ @ @ @ @ right .
And I had to call him on it because it ’ s really , it ’ s really been on my heart.
” He went on to call out specific people who have made hateful remarks .
“ Desean Jackson , Steven Jackson , Nick Cannon , Ice Cube .
Man , what the h-ll are y ’ all doing ?
Like , y ’ all want racial equality .
We all do , ” Barkley said .
“ I don ’ t understand how insulting another group helps our cause… @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to be prejudiced also… I ’ m so disappointed in these men.
” “ What I don ’ t understand is how you beat hatred with more hatred , ” Barkley added .
“ That stuff should never come up in your vocabulary , and it should never come up in your heart .
I don ’ t understand it .
I ’ m never going to accept it .
And I ’ m asking you guys , I ’ m begging you guys , man .
You guys are famous .
You @ @ @ @ @ @ @ do better , man.
” This came after former NBA player Kareem Abdul-Jabbar called out this same racist behavior in a column for The Hollywood Reporter .
“ These famous , outspoken people share the same scapegoat logic as all oppressive groups from Nazis to the KKK : all our troubles are because of bad-apple groups that worship wrong , have the wrong complexion , come from the wrong country , are the wrong gender or love the wrong gender , ” Abdul-Jabbar said .
“ It ’ s so disheartening to see @ @ @ @ @ @ @ marginalized do the same thing to others without realizing that perpetuating this kind of bad logic is what perpetuates racism.
” We applaud these two legendary athletes for having the courage to call out the racism that is being perpetuated by their own community .

thepoliticalinsider--2020-07-25--Nancy Pelosi Blames Trump For Congressman Yoho Cursing Out AOC

Earlier this week , we reported that Rep. Ted Yoho ( R-FL ) had cursed out Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ( D-NY ) to her face , right as both were crossing paths on the steps of the Capitol .
Despite the fact that President Donald Trump had absolutely nothing to do with this incident , House Speaker Nancy Pelosi ( D-CA ) blamed it on him during an interview with on Friday .
In the interview , Pelosi was asked by host Andrea Mitchell about President Trump ’ s tweet to the “ Suburban Housewives of America.
” Somehow , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Yoho and Ocasio-Cortez confrontation : “ It sounds like condescension and disrespect , is what it does , and it also sounds like discrimination and fear baiting .
He ’ s just fearmongering .
It ’ s just a ball of his tricks that he does all the time , bigotry , fearmongering , condescension , and distortion .
But you know what ?
American women are smarter than that .
Again , the “ housewives ” part was interesting .
I loved being a housewife when I was a housewife , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and I had judgment .
It ’ s sort of in the same vein of Mr. Yoho , and I ’ m proud of Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez , as a grandmother of two young granddaughters and a mother of four during the course , I ’ m saying , you go , congresswoman .
It ’ s the same condescension and disrespect.
” Mitchell then played a portion of Ocasio-Cortez ’ s speech that she gave on the House floor on Thursday in response to Yoho ’ s comments .
“ What I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not make a man decent , ” she said .
“ Having a wife does not make a decent man .
Treating people with dignity and respect makes a decent man .
And when a decent man messes up , as we all are bound to do , he tries his best and does apologize — not to save face , not to win a vote.
” Pelosi responded to this by saying that she “ couldn ’ t have been prouder ” of the radically liberal Ocasio-Cortez .
“ Well , you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ she said is that what happened that day was his problem and continues to be his problem .
She ’ s not taking any insult from him in terms of any diminishment of competence that she has as to who she is .
We couldn ’ t have been prouder , ” Pelosi said .
That ’ s when she shifted to blaming Trump .
“ If I may say , he may have thought he had license to do that because of the language that the president has used in regard to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and that is well-known to people , ” Pelosi said .
“ And perhaps accepted as something that passes for civilized in certain circles on the Republican side of the aisle.
” This just goes to show that Pelosi will blame absolutely anything under the sun on Trump .
What a joke .

thepoliticalinsider--2020-07-25--Kayleigh McEnany Eviscerates Hollywood For Cancelling ‘Live PD’ And ‘COPS’

During Friday ’ s White House press briefing , Kayleigh McEnany ripped into Hollywood for cancelling shows like “ COPS ” and “ Live PD.
” While talking about President Donald Trump ’ s commitment to keeping Americans safe and bringing an end to violent riots , McEnany shifted to an attack on cancel culture , particularly the way it treats police officers .
“ He ’ s very keen on seeing the violence in our streets end .
He wants to protect the people of this country when derelict Democrat mayors and governors do not , ” McEnany said @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by cancel culture and cancel culture specifically as it pertains to cops .
We saw a few weeks ago that ‘ PAW Patrol , ’ a cartoon show about cops , was canceled .
The show ‘ COPS ’ was canceled .
‘ Live PD ’ was canceled .
Lego halted the sales of their Lego City Police Station.
” “ It ’ s really unfortunate because I stand with , and the President stands with the 63 percent of Americans who think police officers are one of the most important jobs in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Both “ COPS ” and “ Live PD ” were cancelled in the wake of the death of George Floyd , who died in police custody back in May in Minneapolis , Minnesota .
A & E cancelled “ Live PD ” just two weeks after Mr. Floyd ’ s death , despite the fact that it was the top show on the network .
“ This is a critical time in our nation ’ s history and we have made the decision to cease production on ‘ Live PD , ' ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ announcing the cancellation .
“ Going forward , we will determine if there is a clear pathway to tell the stories of both the community and the police officers whose role it is to serve them .
And with that , we will be meeting with community and civil-rights leaders as well as police departments.
” Since cancelling “ Live PD , ” ratings have plummeted on A & E , which has lost half it ’ s viewers following the cancellation .
“ COPS ” had been a popular television show that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pulled by the Paramount Network in the same way .

During Friday’s White House press briefing, Kayleigh McEnany ripped into Hollywood for cancelling shows like “COPS” and “Live PD.”
While talking about President Donald Trump’s commitment to keeping Americans safe and bringing an end to violent riots, McEnany shifted to an attack on cancel culture, particularly the way it treats police officers.
“He’s very keen on seeing the violence in our streets end. He wants to protect the people of this country when derelict Democrat mayors and governors do not,” McEnany said. “He’s also appalled by cancel culture and cancel culture specifically as it pertains to cops. We saw a few weeks ago that ‘PAW Patrol,’ a cartoon show about cops, was canceled. The show ‘COPS’ was canceled. ‘Live PD’ was canceled. Lego halted the sales of their Lego City Police Station.”
“It’s really unfortunate because I stand with, and the President stands with the 63 percent of Americans who think police officers are one of the most important jobs in this country,” she added.

Both “COPS” and “Live PD” were cancelled in the wake of the death of George Floyd, who died in police custody back in May in Minneapolis, Minnesota. A&E cancelled “Live PD” just two weeks after Mr. Floyd’s death, despite the fact that it was the top show on the network.
“This is a critical time in our nation’s history and we have made the decision to cease production on ‘Live PD,'” the network said in a statement upon announcing the cancellation. “Going forward, we will determine if there is a clear pathway to tell the stories of both the community and the police officers whose role it is to serve them. And with that, we will be meeting with community and civil-rights leaders as well as police departments.”
Since cancelling “Live PD,” ratings have plummeted on A&E, which has lost half it’s viewers following the cancellation. “COPS” had been a popular television show that ran for decades, yet it was pulled by the Paramount Network in the same way.

thepoliticalinsider--2020-07-25--Mayor Lori Lightfoot Removes Columbus Statue From Chicago’s Grant Park

City workers acting as historical vandals , and under the orders of hard left Chicago Democrat Mayor Lori Lightfoot , arrived covertly in the wee hours of early Friday to remove a Christopher Columbus statue from Chicago ’ s Grant Park .
This happened a week after rioters fought with city police , as the Bolsheviks attempted to tear the statue down from its rightful place of honor .
Now the city , under Lightfoot , has done the work of sacrilege for them .
Many small thinkers and bitter race hustlers are cheering .
Americans who value our common @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ This statue coming down is because of the effort of black and indigenous activists who know the true history of Columbus and what he represents , ” neighbor and massive cretin Stefan Cuevas Caiza-Guano told media .

Perhaps he would right now be enjoying the freedom of thought and advanced cultural environment of an Islamist-themed state @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Chinese Communist Party are more to his liking ?

While hosting a fundraiser for Joe Biden , former “ Seinfeld ” star Julia Louis-Dreyfus wasted no time in roasting President Donald Trump like it was her job .
Louis-Dreyfus kicked things off by slamming President Trump for his approach to handling the environment and by comparing him to her character of Selina Meyer on the HBO show “ Veep.
” On the comedic television program , Meyer was a senator from Maryland who becomes vice president before advancing to the Oval Office .
Louis-Dreyfus explained that for the pilot episode , the show ’ s writers “ tried to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ gesture that my idiot character could possibly make , so that she wouldn ’ t offend the fossil fuel industry.
” This gesture was to launch a program to “ get rid of plastic cutlery in the Capitol and replace it with recyclable utensils , ” according to .
“ But that ’ s actually more than Trump has done for the environment in four years , ” Louis-Dreyfus said at the fundraiser .
“ Talk about pathetic , he ’ s actually worse than a fictional president with a team of professional @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bad as possible.
” She went on to react to an interview Biden gave back in November in which he joked about picking Louis-Dreyfus as his running mate .
“ I was of course flattered , ” Louis-Dreyfus responded .
“ But then I realized , this is America .
We can ’ t make a totally unqualified , ill-equipped TV personality vice president .
No , no , in this country we make him president.
” This isn ’ t the first time that Louis-Dreyfus has spoken out against Trump .
Last @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fake president ” and “ complete moron ” in an interview with Time .
“ He ’ d be funny if he didn ’ t have the power he has .
He ’ s sort of a pretend , fake president .
He ’ s a complete moron , start to finish , ” she said .
Louis-Dreyfus added that she feels lucky that “ Veep ” exists in a fictional political world in which the writers don ’ t need to address Trump ’ s presidency directly .
“ The great benefit…that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ universe on ‘ Veep ’ has helped us through this moment , ” the actress insisted .
“ That is to say we ’ re not parodying any specific party or politician .
We are parodying the culture of politics.

Afghanistan is a land of violence .

The Soviets had their own Vietnam there , with a shove from us , in the 1980s .
We ’ ve been there forever , or at least it seems like it .
The bottom line , like many peoples all over the world , is that the Afghans just love to fight .
So it ’ s no great discovery that one of their teenage girls @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Last week a 16-year old Afghan girl , Qamar Gul , shouldered an AK-47 and took out two Taliban terrorists who murdered her parents and her little sister .
According to various news sources , the weapon belonged to her father , a pro-government village chief .

But hell , it ’ s an AK , the most durable and reliable light rifle in the world .
It would have been hard to get it wrong .
Even so , the young woman showed remarkable @ @ @ @ @ @ @ incident involving Qamar Gul , who is around 15 years old , happened last week in Ghor province , according to the AFP .
A local police chief told the news agency that the Taliban was after her father – a village chief and supporter of the Afghan government – and ended up dragging him and his wife outside of Gul ’ s home before killing them .
Qamar Gul , who was inside the house , took an AK-47 gun the family had and first shot dead the two Taliban fighters who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a few others .
The fighters , after fleeing the area , later returned to attack Gul ’ s house a second time , according to the news agency .

Fox News and Agence France-Press:
“The incident involving Qamar Gul, who is around 15 years old, happened last week in Ghor province, according to the AFP. A local police chief told the news agency that the Taliban was after her father – a village chief and supporter of the Afghan government – and ended up dragging him and his wife outside of Gul’s home before killing them. Qamar Gul, who was inside the house, took an AK-47 gun the family had and first shot dead the two Taliban fighters who killed her parents, and then injured a few others. The fighters, after fleeing the area, later returned to attack Gul’s house a second time, according to the news agency. Yet other villagers and pro-government militiamen were able to disperse them following a gunfight. Gul and her younger brother reportedly have been escorted by Afghan security forces to a different and safer location.”
A basic misunderstanding in American geopolitical policy over the last half century is that we can do other people’s fighting better than they can. Thank the gods on high Mount Kissinger that President Donald Trump does not share that illusion.
Our “make the world safe for democracy” fetish assumed our little buddies around the globe would fight for their own land as long as we fought alongside them. That too many times proved false. Just like a multigenerational dependence on welfare can cripple the work ethic, the same concept, this time geared to American takeover of foreign civil wars, robbed those who had real stakes in the game —the nation’s inhabitants— of the sense of urgency and gravitas needed to fight their own wars. Which brings us back to our teenage heroine.
Like an American frontierswoman, this young lady has more than proven her mettle against the desperadoes who killed her family. She and her kinsman and their kinsman are a match and then some for the bushwhackers who would take their land and their lives. Bravo for her and for brave people like her in Afghanistan who can take care of themselves.
