Before George Floyd died while in the custody of Minneapolis police officers, he recorded a video in which he railed against the violence he had witnessed among younger generations.
“Our young generation is clearly lost, man, clearly lost, man. Like like, oh, I don’t even know what to say no more, man. Like you youngsters just going around, just busting guns in crowds. In crowds, kids are getting killed,” said Floyd in the video.
George Floyd’s death sparked mass riots in Minneapolis that led to the destruction & looting of many local businesses including a Target store, an auto zone, and a school.
The dangerous and violent riots quickly spread to every state across the country.
Ironically, this destructive behavior is sadly the same type of senseless violence from young people that Floyd warned about in his video.

“We are going to dismantle the Minneapolis Police Department,” Council Member Jeremiah Ellison tweeted on June 4.
Council Member Steve Fletcher also wrote an op-ed for Time Magazine trashing police and saying that they “must” disband the department.
“When I ran for the Minneapolis City Council in 2017, I knew that the Police Department had a decades-long history of violence and discrimination. I ran on a platform of police reform informed by my experience seeing police persistently harass young black canvassers that I worked with as a community organizer, and by the police shooting of Jamar Clark in 2015, which prompted weeks of protest outside the fourth precinct,” Fletcher wrote. “In 2017, the police shooting of Justine Damond further cemented accountability as a central theme of that campaign year.”
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey was chased off by a mob of protesters over the weekend when he refused to commit to disbanding the police, instead saying that they need reforms.

Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani joined Maria Bartiromo on Sunday Morning Futures this morning to discuss the ongoing protests and rioting in New York City and the nation.
During their conversation Maria asked Mayor Giuliani about Joe Biden’s campaign for president.
Rudy let loose on what is obvious to everyone – Joe Biden can’t run a grocery store let alone the country today.
Rudy Giuliani: When he said that Trump is oblivious, that’s like looking in the mirror isn’t it? That’s projection. Even with his deteriorated mental state he can still project. I mean the guy is oblivious. If you can’t see that this man is sick then there’s something wrong with you. And, we got a lot of smart people on the other side and a lot of smart people in his family. And, they’re running him. It’s so cynical and it shows so much of a disrespect for the United States of America that you could try to put a man in that mental condition in the White House. It’s frightening how we’ve lost any sense of caring about the country. The man mentally can’t function. You can’t hire him. You wouldn’t hire him to run your store. I wouldn’t hire him to run a store. He’d get it all screwed up.
Of course, Rudy it right and everyone knows it. The more Americans see Joe Biden the more horrific is the prospect that this man could run the country. Joe’s policies are bad enough but his mental state is a non-starter.

#STFUHillary Trends on Twitter After Twice-Failed Candidate Hillary Clinton Publishes Post About George Floyd

The hashtag # STFUHillary trended on Twitter on Saturday night after twice-failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton posted to Medium about George Floyd ’ s death .
In the article , Clinton wrote that “ against a backdrop of a pandemic that has disproportionately ravaged communities of color , we are being painfully reminded right now that we are long overdue for honest reckoning and meaningful action to dismantle systemic racism.
” She continued on to pander to the crowd that has been violently lashing out across the nation before concluding that “ I promise to keep fighting alongside all of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ place where all men and all women are treated as equals , just as we are and just as we deserve to be.
” Unfortunately for Clinton , people haven ’ t quite forgot about her record yet .
In a time when the nation is truly divided , seemingly beyond repair , she ended up helping people find some common ground — by mocking her .
“ Sh-t , between Gadaffi and Haiti , I ’ m pretty sure that you killed more blacks than the police ever did , ” one @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ Trump sucks but you don ’ t have moral high ground to stand on after calling African American minors super predators , you hypocrite.
” In a puff piece about her in the Los Angeles Times earlier in the week , Clinton whined about how President Trump has been a “ failure across the board ” and how “ inadequate his response has been to these historic moments.

thegatewaypundit--2020-06-07--EXCLUSIVE: Coronavirus Mortality Study Shows: “Things Aren’t Much Worse Than a Bad Seasonal Flu”

In a Gateway Pundit exclusive , a study shows that when looking at the mortality rates for all causes this flu season , things aren ’ t much worse than a bad flu .
Dr. Richard Cross , PhD , provided us the following information related to the China coronavirus .
We have been given his permission to share sections of his report : When it comes to the COVID-19 event , we have been experiencing a serious case of tunnel vision .
As we focus on the day to day increase of COVID-19 things could look pretty grim , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and look at the comparative total mortality here in the US , things aren ’ t much worse than a bad seasonal flu , like that last seen in 2017-18 .
If you take the New York City region out of the mix , the rest of the country is cumulatively well within the expected mortality .
The estimated death toll from COVID-19 is on track to exceed 120,000 US deaths in the next few weeks .
Yet , the majority of COVID-19 related deaths have been concentrated in the New York/New England @ @ @ @ @ @ @ percent of all COVID-19 deaths nationwide ; the hospitals in this region were strained but not overwhelmed in the middle of April .
The coronavirus ’ effect on New York City has been especially telling if you examine the departure from expected cumulative mortality trends over the last four years in the CDC fluseason cycle .
We avoid looking at the COVID-19 counts , and rather focus on total mortality ( by all causes ) since this perspective avoids the diagnostic uncertainty of determining the exact cause of death , and does not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ testing or potentially inflated death estimates from the virus .
This study is brilliant because it takes out the CDC ’ s confusing directive that stated that all deaths should be counted as coronavirus deaths , even if the cause may have been another condition .
By counting all deaths , no matter the cause , we can clearly see the impact of the coronavirus on the nation and based on these results we see that the coronavirus was ‘ not much worse than a bad seasonal flu ’ .
The study goes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ situation : The NYC/NJ contributions to total mortality have been so high that if they are removed from the current total mortality and replaced with levels proportional to those found in the rest of the US , the current total US death toll would be equivalent to the death toll from the 2018 seasonal flu .
Even including the NYC/NJ mortality , throughout the entire US , the CDC seasonal cumulative total mortality ( death by all causes ) for the week 30 of the 2019-2020 flu season is 1,750,703 , contrasted with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ flu season of 2017-18 which came in at 1,711,357 total deaths at the same point ( week 30 ) two years earlier .
This constitutes a 39k mortality increase , most of which can be accounted for by the New York City area .
If the annual mortality inflation of 2 percent per annum is taken into account , total mortality for the current flu season will be marginally beyond the normal expected increase , but well within increases that have been seen in previous flu seasons .
Apart from the New England @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from the main expected increase line for states that locked down early and with more stringent requirements , compared to those who had few lockdown restrictions ( e.g.
, AR , IA , NB , SD , ND , WY . )
States who opened sooner , ( e.g.
, FL , TX , and GA ) are all similarly situated somewhat beneath the prediction line .
By this metric , there is little obvious difference across the entire country except for the Northeast .
The relative impact on total mortality of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ region was in a class by itself… NYC is so far outside the mortality space of the other regions that it inhabited a different mortality universe altogether .
It is well known that New Jersey experienced a high level of excess mortality , by a factor of 8 times its own expected increase , but yet it was still far below NYC , which is over 6 times greater than anywhere in the country .
The NYC mortality outcome is a strong indicator that powerful additional hazards were operating in New York City @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the actions by the government on confinement contributed to this “ perfect storm.
” One of the documented government actions that appears to be a major factor is the forced admission of COVID positive patients into high risk facilities with extreme confinement regimens .
Dr. Cross ’ s study goes on to suggest that the mortality rates across the nation are not much different in normal years because “ the vast majority of COVID-19-related deaths occur in people who from an actuarial perspective would have died this year or soon thereafter from a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the elderly by a large percent were the ones who died from the coronavirus .
If the elderly are proportionally expected to die anyways , the fact that they died from the coronavirus rather than another cause , kept the overall mortality rates similar to other years .
The study concludes that the media was responsible for the fear caused during this time period : Much of the COVID-19 fear was sustained by media repetition and focus on daily and weekly COVID-19 infection rates and putative COVID-19 mortality that spiked in April .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ variable , and the COVID-19 mortality estimates are partially confounded with total mortality , whereas cumulative weekly estimates of total mortality are highly regular .
The growth pattern for COVID-19 mortality was shown day after day , but it was never placed within the context of the total cumulative mortality , and this gave rise to the impression that all the COVID-19 deaths were in fact directly caused by the disease , along with an additional false impression that the COVID-19 mortality was pushing the total mortality well above average for the year @ @ @ @ @ @ @ false .
Overall , these numbers are not surprising .
The China coronavirus impacted the US little , when taken into context with the nation ’ s overall mortality rates .
Social distancing doesn ’ t appear to have much of an impact on overall mortality .
Finally , the actions of the governor and health officials in New York caused that area to explode with cases and death , especially when compared to the rest of the country .

Even including the NYC/NJ mortality, throughout the entire US, the CDC seasonal cumulative total mortality (death by all causes) for the week 30 of the 2019-2020 flu season is 1,750,703, contrasted with the nearest ‘moderately bad’ CDC flu season of 2017-18 which came in at 1,711,357 total deaths at the same point (week 30) two years earlier.

If the elderly are proportionally expected to die anyways, the fact that they died from the coronavirus rather than another cause, kept the overall mortality rates similar to other years.
The Mainstream Media
The study concludes that the media was responsible for the fear caused during this time period:
Much of the COVID-19 fear was sustained by media repetition and focus on daily and weekly COVID-19 infection rates and putative COVID-19 mortality that spiked in April. Daily and weekly mortality changes are quite variable, and the COVID-19 mortality estimates are partially confounded with total mortality, whereas cumulative weekly estimates of total mortality are highly regular. The growth pattern for COVID-19 mortality was shown day after day, but it was never placed within the context of the total cumulative mortality, and this gave rise to the impression that all the COVID-19 deaths were in fact directly caused by the disease, along with an additional false impression that the COVID-19 mortality was pushing the total mortality well above average for the year. These impressions turn out to be false.
Overall, these numbers are not surprising. The China coronavirus impacted the US little, when taken into context with the nation’s overall mortality rates.
Social distancing doesn’t appear to have much of an impact on overall mortality. Finally, the actions of the governor and health officials in New York caused that area to explode with cases and death, especially when compared to the rest of the country.

As was reported earlier the highly respected Lancet medical journal retracted a major study about hydroxychloroquine and then the New England Journal of Medicine has yanked another study.
Both studies relied on data supplied by a U.S. analytics company called Surgisphere.
The Guardian reported.
A peer-reviewed Lancet study claimed that Surgisphere culled data from nearly 15,000 COVID-19 patients from 1,200 hospitals around the world. There is no evidence that it collected any data from anyone.
The bogus study by Lancet, a British company, said the anti-malarial drugs hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine, both of which have been touted by President Trump as a coronavirus treatment, were not only ineffective but possible deadly. Lancet said in the May 22 study that patients who used those drugs were more likely to show an irregular heart rhythm—a known side effect thought to be rare—and were more likely to die in the hospital.
Within days, some large trials of the drugs were halted. But after the Lancet retraction, the World Health Organization (WHO) announced it would resume trials of the drugs.
The study in the New England Journal of Medicine, published on 1 May, said that taking certain blood pressure drugs, including angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, didn’t appear to increase the risk of death among COVID-19 patients, as some researchers had suggested. But after questions about Surgisphere, the journal has retracted the study.
The Guardian confirmed:
A Guardian investigation can reveal the US-based company Surgisphere, whose handful of employees appear to include a science fiction writer and an adult-content model, has provided data for multiple studies on Covid-19 co-authored by its chief executive, but has so far failed to adequately explain its data or methodology,”
The type of science-fiction writings Surgishere’s Science Editor is involved in (from Yaacov Apelbaum) are identified below. Courtney Herz, is the writer’s name and here is her LinkedIn profile:
Below you can see some of her writings which appear to be fantasy:
Dr Sapan Desai, CEO of Surgisphere Corp. was recently in an interview where he discussed his company’s studies that were published (and now retracted). In the interview, Dr Desai states that he has a database with data on over 150,000 COVID patient’s, making it one of the largest databases in the world with such data.
He says that his company looked at more than 8,000 people with COVID to determine that hydroxychloroquine did not save lives as reported in his study. (It’s likely all of what is said here is not true.)
