"Javid Shah!" Iranians calling for return of Pahlavis, their king

Reza Pahlavi

In the streets of Iran, a phrase once banished to the whispers of exile and treason, has roared back into the open: “Javid Shah” – Long Live the Shah.

What was for decades politically radioactive is now echoing through Tehran, Isfahan, Mashhad, Ahvaz, Hamadan, and even the clerical stronghold of Qom. Videos smuggled out of the country show crowds chanting it without fear, alongside calls for the overthrow of the Islamic Republic and open support for the exiled Pahlavi dynasty. For a regime whose entire legitimacy rests on the destruction of that dynasty and the systematic erasure of its memory, this is an existential threat. It signals that public fury has transcended complaints about prices or policy and become a wholesale rejection of the theocratic order itself.

The unrest began when Tehran’s bazaari merchants, that ancient and formidable class, shuttered their shops in response to the catastrophic collapse of the rial, which at one point traded at over 1.4 million to the dollar on the open market against an official rate of 42,000. 

Economic despair, long simmering, exploded into outright defiance. But the slogans quickly outgrew mere grievances over bread and butter. Crowds chanted, "This is the final battle! Pahlavi will return," and "The shah will return to the homeland, and Zahhak (despot) will be overthrown," drawing on the ancient Persian myth of the tyrannical Zahhak to cast the current Supreme Leader as the monster of the age. Other voices rang out with "No to Gaza, no to Lebanon, I give my life for Iran," a blunt repudiation of the regime’s lavish funding of foreign proxies while its own people starve.

The security forces have so far responded with restraint: tear gas, water cannons, rubber bullets. Reports speak of at least one death, a Basij militiaman killed in clashes, but the regime seems cautious, offering vague promises of "dialogue" rather than the full brutality it has deployed in the past. 

It knows that excessive force could tip the balance, turning manageable discontent into uncontrollable revolution. Yet the chants already suggest that a deeper shift is underway.To Western ears, "Javid Shah" might sound like a naive plea for literal monarchy restored. In Iran, its resonance is far more profound.

The Islamic Republic has spent forty-six years demonising the Pahlavi era as a time of corruption, foreign subservience, and moral decay. To invoke the Shah now is a deliberate assault on the regime's founding myth. More than that, it expresses a yearning for an Iran rooted in its own pre-Islamic, imperial history, an Iran ruled by kings and emperors for millennia, not by clerics obsessed with a pan-Islamic ummah and the export of revolution. 

The Islamic Republic, should it limp to its fiftieth anniversary in 2029, will still represent less than two per cent of Iran's recorded history. The return of monarchist symbols is a reminder that the clerics are the historical interlopers.

Political change often begins with the breaking of taboos. The Woman, Life, Freedom uprising of 2022 shattered the enforced consensus around compulsory hijab. Now, protesters are reaching for symbols the regime has spent decades trying to bury. When people abandon the language dictated by the state and embrace the forbidden, authority begins to crumble. "Javid Shah" is precisely such a forbidden symbol.

Iran's bazaaris have always been more than traders. For centuries they have been a political force, their strikes capable of paralyzing the economy and shifting the course of history: toppling the Tobacco Concession in the 1890s, driving the Constitutional Revolution, supporting Mossadegh’s oil nationalization, and, most fatefully, helping bring down the monarchy itself in 1978–79 through prolonged closures that starved the Shah’s government of revenue.

Even under the Islamic Republic, born of an alliance between clerics and bazaaris, the merchants have periodically flexed their muscle during economic crises. The question this week was whether their strike was merely about money or something more fundamental. The fact that Pahlavi's name now passes their lips provides the answer.

What makes the present moment especially dangerous for the regime is that the bazaaris are not acting alone. Students, that other historic engine of Iranian upheaval, have joined them. University campuses, once hotbeds of Islamist and leftist fervor that helped destroy the monarchy in 1979, are now filled with young people chanting in support of Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi. For a generation born long after the revolution, the Pahlavi era is not lived memory but a symbol of an Iran free from clerical control, ideological compulsion, and the squandering of national wealth on foreign adventures.

When bazaaris and students align, Iranian governments have rarely survived. In 1979 they combined to fell the Shah. Today they converge against the very system they once helped install.

Against this backdrop, Reza Pahlavi has positioned himself as the natural focal point for a fragmented opposition. In recent months he has grown bolder: calling openly for regime change, convening broad coalitions of dissidents, and outlining principles for a future Iran, territorial integrity, equality, individual liberties, separation of religion and state. He has stressed that any return of monarchy must be decided by referendum and that he seeks no personal power unless freely chosen by the people.
IRGC,

As protests escalated, he issued a direct appeal: "Today is a time for greater solidarity. I call on all segments of society to join your fellow citizens in the streets and raise your voices demanding the downfall of this system."

If you like Brain Flushings and would like to Buy Me a Coffee, I would appreciate it, as it supports my work and my coffee drinking habit. No pressure, and I hope you have a happy, healthy New Year.

One exiled opposition figure told reporters this week: "It is crystal clear that the population accepts the leadership of Prince Reza Pahlavi… Now it is up to the prince to expand his circle and show that his professional cadres can take over the government. In that case, the military could join the people."

Whether these protests will gather the momentum to topple the regime remains uncertain, but it's looking as if it will. Several police stations have been overrun and burned and clerics are removing their clerical garb and running for the hills.

Repression could yet intensify. But something irrevocable has already happened. On the streets of the Islamic Republic, the people are once again calling for their king. And in a land with such a long memory, that call carries a weight no theocracy can easily dismiss.

U. of MN Pres. admits he agreed to anti-Israel/anti-Semitic terms to end protest but didn't understand the language

University of Minnesota interim president Jeff Ettinger informed the state senate Tuesday that he sold is soul by signing an agreement to appease anti-Semitic student activists. He cowardly caved to them in order to end their illegal occupation [aka trespassing] of the campus and he supposedly did not understand the Arabic word they use that justifies violence, even killing, of Israelis who tend to be Jewish.

Ettinger and the potential terrorists reached an agreement last month to end a “Gaza Solidarity Encampment, which is a collection of smelly tents used by the anti-Semites for several weeks. They refused to leave unless the administration agreed to boycott and divest from Israel [except for the cool stuff Israel invented like: USB Flash Drives, Waze, Pill Cam, ReWalk, ICQ, cherry tomatoes, Mobileye, SolarEdge, OrCam,  Orbotech, and Netafim, to name just a few].

The university issued a statement in which school officials used the term “thawabet,” a main component of the ideology of the anti-Israel/anti-Semitic movement. Thawabet asserts its intention to eliminate Israel and establish a Palestinian state in its place, like Islam strides to do all around the globe.

“That was a mistake by our administration,” Ettinger told Sen. Ron Latz (D), who had asked him about the university's decision on Tuesday. “The way things transpired that day, we ended up doing the final versions of that document at five in the morning. Those had been the topics — I mean they were kind of characterized by the students as their ‘demands’ — we looked at them as topics. But clearly, I didn’t even know what that word meant, so clearly to repeat that word then in a communication back was a mistake by the administration.”

Shades of Hogan's Heroes Nazi Sergeant Schultz: "I see nothing! I hear nothing! I know nothing!" Ettinger knew nothing, he claims, and never actually questioned the activists. Why do the research when the [final] solution fits your agenda.

In 2010, a founder of the terrorist group Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), Bilal al-Hassan, explained thawabet in an interview with the anti-Zionist website Electronic Intifada.

Al-Hassan explained that the concept historically represents opposition to United Nations Resolution 181, a decision rendered by the nascent body in 1947 which partitioned British Mandatory Palestine into Jewish and Arab states and led to the establishment of Israel the following year. 

Thawabet, he said, was central to the founding charter of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), a terrorist organization which evolved to be recognized as the official representative and governing authority of Arabs living in Gaza and the West Bank. For al-Hassan, “liberating” Palestinians meant reversing the 1947 settlement and expelling Jews from the area. You remember those guys at the 1972 Munich Olympics, right? 

In 1996, the PLO — led at the time by terrorist scumbag Yasser Arafat — voted overwhelmingly to remove the call for mass terror and elimination of Israel from its charter to signal that it was negotiating a settlement to end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in good faith. He was looking to change his image at that time after his jihadis known as Black September captured and unmercifully murdered 11 Israeli athletes and coaches.

After that time, Arafat had met in person with two Israeli prime ministers, Yitzhak Rabin and Shimon Peres, as part of the Oslo Accords, a peace process that was fervently supported by former US President Bill "I did not have sex with that woman" Clinton. Arafat lobbied for the move, saying, as reported by The New York Times in 1996, that failing to do so would harm efforts to establish a Palestinian state.

This, al-Hassan told Electronic Intifada, was an ideological and tactical failure because Jews still existed.

“The PLO was destroyed with the alteration of the charter,” he said. “The reason that the thawabet now play an important role in our struggle is that it is now an expression of a politico-historical position against the path of the negotiated settlement — that we usually refer to as the Oslo process — and against the Palestinian Authority’s engagement with this process, its departure from thawabet, and its retreat in the face of the ongoing Zionist colonization of our country. It goes without saying that goals of the struggle such as the return of the refugees and the liberation of the land and people are central pillars of thawabet.”

Their struggle?

Why the University of Minnesota incorporated thawabet, a call for violence and rejection of peace between Israel and the Arabs into an official statement is unclear. And why was it acceptable to apologize to pro-Hamasshole protesters, granting them amnesty and a promise to meet with top school officials to discuss the possibility of divesting from Israel [except for the cool stuff].

Despite the fact during Tuesday's hearing the students made it painfully clear that they supported terrorism during the May encampment, Ettinger said of thawabet, “I didn’t know what that word meant.” 

Except that he did--the school has a history of allowing anti-Zionist/anti-Semitic views. After all, they appointed anti-Zionist/anti-Semitic "scholar" Raz Segal to have the post of director of the school’s Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies — a decision that Ettinger walked back after community organizations noted that Segal justified Hamas’ Oct. 7 atrocities less than a week after they were committed.

Ettinger, who is a useful idiot, was subjected to a faculty no-confidence vote revoking Segal’s appointment, will soon leave office. The University of Minnesota’s incoming president, Rebecca Cunningham, will be inaugurated in July.

FDNY will be hunting down firefighters who booed Letitia James

The full-figure NY Attorney General Letitia "Get Trump" James spoke to the FDNY firefighters in a ceremony at a Brooklyn church last week. It went over like a fart in a 2-man submarine.

Now the head of the FDNY is pushing back against a report that they are actually "hunting" down firefighters who booed and shouted "Trump, Trump, Trump." 

"Oh, come on. We’re in a house of God. First, Uhm, simmer down,” the New York AG said, attempting to simmer the crowd down. “Thank you for getting it out of your system,” she finished up with, rudely talking to these men as if they were children.

In a statement, FDNY Chief of Department John Hodgens said that the firefighters who disrupted James’s speech will be forced to take woke “re-education” classes and may be forced to adopt their own pronouns.

And while they claim to not be hunting down the protestors, they want them to turn themselves in so that they can be disciplined.

"Nobody is hunting anyone down," FDNY spokesman Jim Long told Fox News Digital in an email on Sunday morning. "We’re looking into those who clearly broke department regulations. It has nothing to do with politics. It’s about professionalism at an official event held in a house of worship."

Re-education has everything to do with politics--it's the opposite of freedom of expression as found in the U.S. Constitution and it's a Marxist tactic.

The New York Post first reported that FDNY Chief of Department John Hodgens wrote in an email to department brass that the FDNY’s Bureau of Investigation and Trials was investigating the incident and "will figure out who those members are." If that doesn't sound like hunting down people, I don't know what to say.

"I recommend they come forward. I have been told by the commissioner it will be better for them if they come forward and we don’t have to hunt them down," Hodges said in the email obtained by the Post. If that doesn't sound even more like the FDNY plans to hunt down their Trump supporters, you cannot be convinced otherwise.

The booing erupted as James walked up to the podium to honor the swearing-in of the first full-figure African American woman chaplain of the FDNY, the Rev. Pamela Holmes, as well as other first responders.

Following the ceremony, Hodgens admonished the rowdy behavior of the firefighters.

"Today’s ceremony was about one thing: the accomplishments of the members being promoted," he said. "The members whose behavior distracted from that celebration were an embarrassment and not befitting of the world's best fire department."

James led the months-long civil trial against Trump in New York City that alleged the former president had inflated his assets and committed fraud.

Judge Arthur Engoron handed down his ruling last month, finding Trump liable for more than $350 million in damages and barring him from operating his business in New York for three years.

AOC pretends to be handcuffed outside SCOTUS along with 17 arrested

Chick version of "Dumb and Dumber"

They never met an unborn baby they wouldn't kill. At least 17 House Democrats were arrested Tuesday for blocking traffic outside the Supreme Court during a planned "civil disobedience" ["insurrection" for Republicans].

Axios reported that the abortion-as-religion Democrats arrested were:

Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY); Carolyn Maloney (NY)l; Cori Bush )MO); Ayanna Pressley (MA); Madeleine Dean (PA); Nydia Velazquez (NY); Barbara Lee (CA); Jackie Speier (CA); Katherine Clark (MA); Sara Jacobs (CA); Rashida Tlaib (MI); Andy Levin (MI); Alma Adams (NC); Bonnie Watson Coleman (NJ); Veronica Escobar (TX); Ilhan Omar (MN); and Jan Schakowsky (IL)

But there was an update by the U.S. Capitol Police:

UPDATE: We made a total of 34 arrests for Crowding, Obstructing or Incommoding (DC Code § 22–1307).
That arrest number includes 16 Members of Congress.
— U.S. Capitol Police (@CapitolPolice) July 19, 2022

Video footage captured by Doug Blair fo The Daily Signal and Bernadette Hassan shows police escorting a smiling, bug-eyed  New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D) away from the court as lively band music can be heard in the background.

The New York Democrat held her hands behind her back pretending to be arrested, pumps a fist in the air in honor of dead babies everywhere, and then returns her hands behind her back but didn't really get arrested, just like she wasn't really anywhere near the Jan. 6 "insurrection."

The move prompted immediate amusement from her critics online.

Republican communicator Matt Whitlock tweeted: “Have to wonder if any of the protesters alongside her ever thought ‘wait .. aren’t you an elected member of Congress with the power to pass legislation on this issue? Why are you over here protesting? Pass a bill!'”

“She pretends to be handcuffed, raises her fist in a salute, and then goes back to pretending to be handcuffed,” tweeted strategist Greg Price.

Explanation: she believes people didn't notice.

Insane climate activist sets himself on fire as DC Metro cop tries to put him out with a road cone

Wynn Bruce

A climate activist set himself on fire at the steps of the US Supreme Court because the United States is 24th in the world's carbon emissions and that just wasn't good enough for this obviously mentally ill person.

His name is Wynn Bruce and he died on Earth Day, a holiday co-founded by Ira Samual Einhorn,  [aka: "The Unicorn Killer" who killed Holly Maddux, his ex-girlfriend, in 1977 and used her body for compost]. Breaking up was obviously hard to do for Ira and he never let anything go to waste.

Anyway, Mr. Bruce, 50, apparently wanted to draw attention to what he viewed as the climate crisis. Setting himself on fire seemed like a good idea to do just that and yes, it worked.

Bruce was from Boulder, Colorado a far-left dominated city in the Rocky Mountains. He was airlifted to a hospital at around 6:30 pm, after the flames went out, but he died the following day, according to the Metropolitan Police Dept. of Washington, D.C. 

Sadly, as stupid as the act was, it must have been horribly painful.

“This act is not suicide,” Zen Buddhist priest, liar, and Environmental Defense Fund scientist Dr. Kritee Kanko, who described herself as Bruce’s friend, wrote on Twitter. “This is a deeply fearless act of compassion to bring attention to climate crisis.” 

No, it was a narcissistic act and it gave a bad name to climate activists.

Bruce's immolation, in part, leaves a large carbon footprint and is not the best way to keep carbon emissions down. A sign pointing out the climate crisis held over his head, and maybe scream at people walking by, might have been a better option.

Kanko said that Bruce had been planning the act for at least one year and she didn't try to stop him yet still calls herself his friend. 

"What is the sound of one hand burning?"

Bruce’s Facebook posts  depict his concern about climate change and his plans to self-immolate. Maybe it was a cry for help, but none of his so-called "friends" came to the rescue of this disturbed individual.

Metropolitan Police Department in Washington, DC spokeswoman Brianna Burch told The Denver Post that, as far as she knew, no suicide note or manifesto was found near Bruce’s body and that the police were still investigating his motive.

Kanko also told The New York Times that she was not certain of Bruce’s intentions but added that “people are being driven to extreme amounts of climate grief and despair.” 

Thanks to rags like The New York Times.

“[W]hat I do not want to happen is that young people start thinking about self-immolation,” she added.

Why not? Using her logic, it was a fearless act of compassion.

But of course, it isn't. It's a form of mental unrest, or mental illness.

Ottawa Freedom Convoy: elderly woman in mobility scooter trampled by riot horse

OTTAWA, Ontario -- A elderly woman on a mobility scooter was trampled by a police horse on Friday, her condition is not known but there have been local reports that she died in the hospital. [H/T The Geller Report]

Gas masks on, batons in hand--this is Canada and it's coming to the USA

The mainstream media in Canada has referred to the protest as an "occupation," and apparently want to discredit the motive behind the protest. The have described the situation as dangerous and violent, but it seems that the only violence elicited from the Freedom Convoy came from the police.

If you went on YouTube and saw some of the live footage [particularly from Viva Frei, a lawyer from Montreal] you would see peaceful Canadians in the street. The fires they made did not burn down any buildings or police vehicles--they were used for cooking. The children that came with their parents did not participate in the activities of the protest--they participated in jumping up and down in the bouncy castle. 

And while several provinces have lifted their mandates, or have scheduled to lift them [because the virus will give up on a particular day and go home] Prime Minister Trudeau has refused to even speak to the protest leaders and at least three of them, Tamara Lich, Patrick King and Chris Barber have been arrested.

Chris Barber was released on bail Friday on condition he leave the city of Ottawa within 24 hours.

The protesters have been branded with labels such as "white supremacists." They based this on the fact that Patrick King has a history of making anti-Semitic, anti Muslim and anti Chinese statements. He had also publicly denied the Holocaust, so yes, he's an a-hole, but that does not define the overall character of the protesters. They have been peaceful and respectful of the area. Unlike Antifa and BLM, they don't leave garbage on the streets nor initiate violence. And unlike Justin Trudeau, not one protester was seen wearing blackface.

Anti-Freedom Leftist Drives SUV into Freedom Truckers protest in Canada: 4 injured

A severely mentally impaired man [aka a pro-mandate Leftist] plowed his SUV through the Freedom Truckers protest in Winnipeg, Friday injuring four Canadian pro-freedom demonstrators.

Winnipeg police said the driver used his Jeep Patriot [seriously, that's the model Jeep he used] to plow into the crowd of coronavirus mandate protesters before fleeing the scene as fast as he could go. Thankfully, the scumbag was soon caught by police and arrested after a brief struggle, eh. 

Scary Canadian terrorists in Ottawa

"A 42yr old male is facing charges after driving through a group of protesters that were part of the Freedom Convoy at the Legislative grounds," the Winnipeg Police tweeted Saturday.

"Four adult males were struck."  You can see the video on the following link:  https://www.cbc.ca/player/play/2000109123984/

Classy counter-protester showing off his IQ

Thankfully there were no children nearby or he probably would have tried to kill them too. Of the four people struck by the SUV, one was taken to the hospital and was released, and all are expected to recover.

Video of the disgusting act of cowardice was circulating on social media.

The piece of human excrement is a 42-year-old male from Headingly, Manitoba. He faces charges of four counts of assault with a weapon, two counts of dangerous operation of a conveyance and causing bodily harm, one count of dangerous operation of a conveyance, two counts of failure to stop after an accident, two counts of failure to stop at the scene of an accident, and failure to signal lane change [just kidding on the last one].

The attack by this incredibly stupid, angry, deranged man, came on the heels of the GoFundMe organization reversing its decision to redistribute the approximate ten million dollars to other charities to which the money was not intended after being pressured by Republicans. 

On Monday in Ottawa, the capital of Canada,  Mayor Jim Watson has declared an emergency and police are arresting people who are trying to help truckers with supplies, such as fuel, which they need to deal with the cold weather to keep their rigs warm.

Nova Scotia outlaws freedom of expression with "freedom" truckers demonstration after huge protest

America, take note, this could be us if we allow it. 

The Canadian province of Nova Scotia is outlawing freedom of speech and expression days after an incredibly massive protest that saw people gathered along a highway to cheer on and support the "Freedom Convoy" of truckers who drove across Canada from Vancouver to Ottawa, to protest the vaccine mandates.

The province issued "a directive under the Emergency Management Act prohibiting people from blockading Highway 104 near the Nova Scotia-New Brunswick border." Except they weren't blocking anything--they were standing alongside the road waving Canadian flags and cheering, eh.

The directive specifically states supporters of the Freedom Convoy and another protest, the Atlantic Hold the Line event, can’t gather along Highway 104, on the Nova Scotia-New Brunswick border. The directive states that "allowing people to gather in those areas would put themselves and others at risk." 

Bullcrap. It puts freedom of speech at risk.

"My message to anyone planning a blockade of a highway is — don’t do it," Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston said last week, according to the Toronto Star. "Nova Scotians have no patience for highway blockades and, personally ... I have even less, so just don’t do it."

Houston, we have a problem.

Those who disobey and refuse to fall into lockstep face fines between $3,000 to $10,000, while corporations face fines between $20,000 and $100,000. Thankfully, the Canadian dollar is even worse than ours so there's that.

The order remains active under the province’s state of emergency, which has been extended every two weeks and currently runs until Feb. 6, CBC News reported. State of emergency? Now that's an overused term they got from the Biden administration. It has become a tool for dictators and we are allowing this garbage to continue.

The Freedom Convoy set out last Sunday to protest the vaccine mandate for cross-border truckers that was imposed on the ides of January. Somehow truckers, who work alone, confined in their closed vehicles, and not involved with unloading their truck, are magically able to spread the dreaded omicron scourge. It is estimated that about 15% of Canadian truckers [around 16,000] are not fully vaccinated for whatever reasons. Some have already had Covid and have better protection than the vaccine offers and therefore don't need the jab; others have medical issues making the jab risky; and still others want to decide for themselves whether they want to put a foreign substance into their Canadian body.

Canadian Prime Minister and pretty boy Justin Trudeau doesn't have the gonads to support the free speech of protesters, so he has said nothing about the Nova Scotia dictate. 

The organizers of the trucker protest have called for getting rid of all COVID-19 restrictions and vaccine mandates and others called for getting rid of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, as PM. He really is kind of an idiot but that seems to be the level of our leaders nowadays.

The spokesman of the convoy called the protest "impressive" last week, claiming it was more than 40 miles long. Guinness World Records show that the longest convoy recorded took place in Egypt in 2020, coming in at nearly 5 miles long. [They were protesting cruelty to camels.]

Trudeau denounced the protest last week as composed of a "small fringe minority who are on the way to Ottawa who are holding unacceptable views." 

Unacceptable views? In other words, if you don't do as we say, you will pay. 

"What we are hearing from some people associated with this convoy is completely unacceptable," the wannabe dictator [the 'tator' is silent] added.

The convoy made it to Ottawa, the Canadian capital on Saturday, when thousands of people were seen joining the protest there.

"I’m locked into my own country right now," Tom Pappin, who is unvaccinated and joined the protest from just outside Ottawa, said. "I can’t go on a holiday. I can’t go to a restaurant, I can’t go bowling. I can’t go to a movie. You know, these are things that it’s just gotten out of control."

Trudeau’s itinerary for the day usually says he is in Ottawa if he's at home, but on Saturday it said "National Capital Region" amid a report he's been moved to an undisclosed location, the Associated Press reported. He was last seen wearing his pink "Pussy Hat" and no mask.

Seattle Police arrest 4 protesters during downtown march

A cozy fire at a mostly peaceful protest in sleepy Seattle

Seattle police arrested at least four mostly peaceful protest march in beautiful downtown Seattle on a Saturday afternoon.

Three of the mostly peaceful people were arrested for obstruction and resisting arrest, about the dumbest thing a person can do. A fourth person was arrested for carrying an illegal fixed blade knife and he didn't bring his lunch with him.

The protesters, much like their IQs, were between 25 and 33 years old.

The three who were arrested allegedly interfered with officers who were trying to arrest another mostly peaceful protester who was wanted for an alleged assault of another individual. Due to the interference by the three anus brains, the alleged assaulter was able to escape, police said. 

The current protest commemorates one year since George Floyd likely died of a drug overdose while being detained by police for allegedly trying to pass a twenty dollar bill to purchase stuff. It also comes after Floyd stuck a gun in the belly of a woman while his other buddies robbed her as her young child looked on. It also comes after Floyd's ninth arrest.

Due to the media pressure, the officer who used a perfectly legal method with his knee on the side of the subject's neck, was convicted of murdering Floyd.

The protests marked the one-year anniversary of the death of George Floyd on May 25, 2020, at the hands of a Minneapolis police officer who was convicted of his murder last month.

The protesters were booked into the King County Jail, which is no big deal as they will soon be released on their own incompetence.

“I know for me personally, I’m going to continue to wear a mask in public and I’m going to encourage others to do so,” Lightfoot told Ruhle. “We’ve got to make sure that people are continuing to follow the public health guidance that has gotten us this far, and masks, I think, are a big and important part of that.”

Lightfoot said on Tuesday afternoon that her decision to continue to encourage people to wear masks was not based on distrust of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

“But I think their guidance last week regarding masks has people confused…We need clarification,” Lightfoot said. “We still have a long way to go to hit the critical mass (of vaccinations) or herd immunity. I don’t want people to have false confidence.”

“To say, ‘If you’re vaccinated, you don’t have to wear a mask,’ that’s great. But what about all of the other people who are out there that aren’t vaccinated?” Lightfoot added. “There’s no way to know that. So I think for the time being, most people are gonna continue to wear masks outside of their homes.”

Protesters block traffic, square off with cops on Brooklyn Bridge

Brooklyn, NY -- Protesters blocked traffic on the Brooklyn Bridge and clashed with police at around 10:30 p.m. Dozens more walked along the Manhattan-bound roadway, blocking cars and being a nuisance to people who just wanted to get somewhere.

One man can be seen in the photo below claiming, "He's breaking my finger," referring to the police officer who was not breaking his finger. 

“What am I being arrested for?,” another moron is heard asking, as swarms of officers disperse several dozen protesters coming off the bridge onto Centre Street in lower Manhattan, just a stone's throw from City Hall where the worst mayor of any city in the United States can be found when he isn't breaking his own covid rules.

About a half dozen protesters were given appearance tickets for obstruction of vehicular traffic, according to police. There were no injuries reported, police said and the protester who claimed to have a broken finger was able to quickly reinsert it in his nose.

Large teams of bike cops could be seen directing protesters off the bridge’s roadway into the city in additional footage shared on social media.

Queen of Michigan faces protests from disloyal peons

Michigan Queen Gretchen Whitmer's reign was being threatened by disgruntled peons protesting outside her castle on Thursday as she ruled that all in her queendom must stay locked up until the ides of May in their abodes, humble and otherwise.

The protest, dubbed "Operation Queen's Castle," showed an image of Queen Whitmer in her lavish crown.

“We wanted to send Gretchen Whitmer a message, we didn't want to surrender our liberties just for a little temporary safety,” Brian Pannebecker, who helped organize the protest, told the station.

The Queen's Michigan Legislature has schedule a special session for Friday, April 24th to created an oversight committee in which to review the Queen's Chinese Communist Wuhan Coronavirus orders in the hope of removing some of her ultra vires [not to be confused with an extreme virus] and possibly strip her of her self-proclaimed power.

Some have accused the 48-year-old Queen, a first-term Democrat, of abusing her position and overstepping her authority with a series of measures unrelated to the assuaging of the pandemic in her realm. For example, her April 9th revisions to her initial stay-at-home decree included bans on her subjects visiting their relatives and friends, or traveling to a second home. Her majesty even forbid the sales of furniture and gardening supplies, but still permitted the murder of the unborn and illogically declared it to be "life-sustaining" health care. 

Babies would disagree, if they lived long enough to acquire speech.

The Queen also declared that marijuana, lottery tickets and booze were "essential" but fishing in a motorized boat was forbidden as it is "nonessential." If you wanted to fish, you must use oars to get out on the water. In addition, lawn care and construction were declared by the Queen of Michigan as "nonessential."

Meanwhile, the Queen came under criticism after a no-bid coronavirus-related state contract was given to a prominent Democratic consultant who had previously wished death on the President of the United States, Donald J. Trump. The twit said of Trump that he should "get coronavirus ASAP."

The Queen later admitted that the contract was awarded without adhering to normal [legal] protocols.

Michigan House Speaker Lee Chatfield (R-Levering), explained the point of Friday’s planned session in a Twitter message:

“The House & Senate will convene tomorrow to create a special oversight committee on COVID-19 to examine our government’s response,” he wrote. “Michigan needs to handle this pandemic seriously yet properly. It’s what the people deserve, and we will see that it happens.”

Currently, the Queendom of Michigan has over 35,200 confirmed cases of the communist virus and nearly 3,000 deaths.

The Queen anemically defended the decree she had issued saying, “I know it’s not easy, but the price of losing loved ones is what’s at stake," [and you will comply or pay the price of disobeying me].

Hopefully this and other petty tyrannies will be challenged by us peons.

Activists protest and miraculously lower the global temperature by 3 degrees

More than 4 million people, mostly young school children who know more than adults, took to the streets to show their fists to the sky in a protest against global warming/climate change and maybe skip a math exam.

The most liberal cities, New York, LA, Chicago and others, allowed the kids to leave their classrooms with parents' permission to show solidarity to the cause and create good graphics for CNN and the other progressive networks.

In their brave efforts, the country lowered global temperature by 3 degrees celsius, although most American kids have no clue what 3 degrees celsius means in terms of temperature. They did this in spite of the world's worst polluters: China, Russia and India. Imagine, if US school kids can lower global temperatures by 3 degrees celsius, think about what Indian, Chinese and Commies can do if they too shake their fists at the sky.

When one of the kids in Mrs. Blumford's English class was asked by our reporter, Bobby Bagodounutz, what specific steps are needed to be done to save the planet she said, "It's protests like this that'll make a difference."

She refused to be specific.

NFL player angry he's not being covered by media during his National Anthem protest

His number does not matter

A football player on the Miami Dolphins, whose name I will not mention just to further piss him off, is upset with the media because they haven't mentioned him when he protests the National Anthem and thus disrespects our flag and country.

Speaking with the Miami Herald, the player accused the media of ignoring his raised fist every week during the National Anthem. What a photo op they're missing seeing this angry footballer raise his fist in the air rather than putting it over his heart.

"Y’all ignore it," he said. "Because when I gave my first message on trying to bring unity, y’all swept it under the rug. It’s not me. When you don’t give a problematic story, y’all just ran away. You’ve got this lady named Cyntoia Brown, or whatever her name is, and you sent her to life in prison because she was being sex-trafficked. But yet you guys dipped."

Cyntoia Brown was sentenced to life in prison in Tennessee for a murder she committed when she was 16. Activists have called for the courts to show more leniency in her case due to her young age, assuming she didn't know right from wrong and that the family of the deceased don't have the right to justice.

The Miami Herald did write about the football player's protest back in April when he described America as something straight from the pages of Howard Zinn's "A People's History of the United States."

"The way America was built, and the way people talk .... The president said to build a wall to keep Mexicans out. This country was built off of — they killed Indians, built off the backs of the blacks. So yet, they tell us to keep quiet. So at the end of the day, let’s confront the situation and let’s bring humanity and friendship and let’s get rid of all the ignorance. Let’s face it head-on, let’s look at each other as humans. I always live by this one law: Treat each other like you want to be treated. You don’t ever want to smack someone in the face and don’t expect to get smacked back. It’s just that simple fact. Don’t treat someone bad and expect not to be treated the same way. That’s just how it is."

Following that report, the media mostly highlighted the protests of Dolphins wide-receiver Kenny Stills, whose kneeling attracted more attention than this player's racially charged power fist.

"Man, I don’t have nothing to do with Kenny," the footballer said. "That ain’t got nothing to do with me. All I’m saying is, my production went up because I’m just playing football and America’s got a lot of problems to fix within itself. Tell America to look itself in the mirror and the people who built it."

Perhaps this football player ought to look at how far America has come regarding racism and equal rights. He ought to look at other countries before deciding how terrible our country is. We aren't perfect, but we're the best nation on the planet in terms of rights and equality. The fact that he can raise his fist in protest isn't on the backs of blacks who have died for that right, but on all Americans who have  fought, and many who have died, for these rights.

If this player wants to end what he sees as racism, raising his fist in protest will do nothing but separate us further and do no good.

Sport is not the place for political speech. In fact, it is the one place where only talent counts and race or religion should play no part.

Liberal anti-gun prof. shoots himself to protest Trump--seriously!

Las Vegas -- A liberal anti-firearms sociology professor got revenge on President Trump. He shot himself in the arm and this is no joke. An actual liberal professor shot himself in the freaking arm with a .22 cal. handgun.

You've probably seen people on Twitter tweeting that liberalism is a mental disorder. This definitely lends credibility to that assertion.

The real question is: how does shooting yourself make Trump look bad and you look good?

The mental giant prof suffered non-life threatening injuries and needs more time on the range, evidently, and he's facing multiple charges that could land him in jail.

Mark Bird [honestly, that's his name] teaches at the College of Southern Nevada.

The possible charges he faces is bringing a gun onto campus, a "gun-free zone," to carry out the brilliant protest. He also faces charges for "carrying a concealed weapon without a permit and possessing a dangerous weapon on school property."

There is no law against being incredibly stupid.

The Las Vegas Review-Journal reported that Bird shot himself in a bathroom on campus, then [ha ha ha] stumbled out "bleeding, before he collapsed."

He taped a $100 bill to the mirror before shooting himself to protest Trump. The money was a tip to the janitor for having to clean up the blood he was prepared to spill because he's a schmuck.

Bird was hired by the college in 1993. This may earn him some serious points with the liberal faculty and may possibly get him laid.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha . . . .

Practice, practice, practice, Bird. You might win the Darwin Award.

Chuck Nostrils Schumer the ringmaster of Kavanaugh circus

Bwah ha ha

The Democrats have turned the nomination hearing for Brett Kavanaugh into the Big Top Circus. And it turns out the biggest butt clown is no other than Chuck Schumer and his magic nostrils.

It wasn't a secret that the Democrats planned "interruptions" during the hearing and to create chaos and obstruction of the democratic process during the nomination of a Supreme Court justice.

Now a new report exposes Schumer as the ringleader of the circus and some of the main clowns appear to be Kamala Harris and Cory Booker and Linda "Allahu Akbar" Sarsour, among a whole host of no-name paid protesters.

The chaotic opening of the Kavanaugh confirmation hearing was coordinated by Democratic senators whose goal was to stall the nomination process. They had already made it clear they wouldn't vote to confirm even before hearing began, and, after they started, they complained they didn't get enough documentation nor the time to review what they did receive. Stalling--that was the plan.

Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) was asked by GOP Sen. Thom Tillis during Tuesday's hearing about reports that Sen. Schumer (D-NY) led a conference phone call over the long weekend talking about protest plans. He didn't protest and appeared to acknowledge that this actually did happen.

"There was a phone conference yesterday," Durbin said, "where many issues were raised." He added that the discussion included concerns "over 100,000 documents related to Judge Kavanaugh had been characterized by the chairman of the committee as committee confidential." Durbin questions of whether the committee should hear the nominee "without access to basic information about his public record."

Unnamed sources reported that Democrats talked about a strategy that went so far as to walk out of the confirmation hearings.

But Schumer, apparently, ultimately decided against walking out fearing a backlash that would only help the GOP and hurt their reelection chances, which is why they're grandstanding during the hearing in the first place. This move of not making the move to walk out, shows a split between the far left libtards who want to stop the confirmation under any means necessary, and the more senior Democrats, who believe that Kavanaugh should be defeated by following the rules.

The left ultimately compromised with being disruptive morons and create chaos.

At the very start of the hearings, the neophyte senator, Kamala Harris, (D-Calif.) rudely interrupted Sen. Grassley when he began his opening remarks. She is a presidential hopeful who was simply trying to get her face on TV for her personal agenda. She urged the committee to delay the hearing [hopefully after the midterm elections] amid protests by leftist anarchists, some of whom were arrested.

Huge Liberal protest against Barack Obama and his Russian ties

In an unprecedented move, liberals throughout the country are gathering in nearly 130 U.S. cities to call for a thorough investigation into the comment former President Barack Obama made to Russian President Dmitry Medvedev when he said in an open mic that once the 2012 election was over, he would have "more flexibility." 

Medvedev promised Obama that he would pass this on to Vladimir [Putin] and nothing at the time was ever done about it. Now, however, liberals have finally come to realize that Obama may have clandestine ties to Russia and may not have the country's best interests at heart.

The protests including ones in Washington and one outside the Farm Neck Golf Club where he went to play immediately following a speech he made regarding the beheading of journalist James Foley by ISIS and for which he blamed the press for covering it.

"It's always a challenge when you're supposed to be on vacation, because you're followed everywhere. And part of what I'd love is a vacation from the press. But there's no doubt that after having talked to the families, where it was hard for me to hold back tears listening to the pain that they were going through, after the statement that I made, that you know, I should've anticipated the optics [of golf]."

In the past, liberals have clashed with Trump supporters, "but not this time," said transgender activist Patrick Fitzmichael. "Now we're on the same page against the outrage the former president perpetrated on us, the American public, Fitzmichael said, sounding a little like Sean Hannity. 

"I can't believe I ever voted for him," Fitzmichael added and then breaking into tears that flowed like a stream from his or her eyes.

Fitzmichael's partner, Michael Fitzpatrick, said that they were also upset with the horrible visual image of Kathy Griffiin's Trump beheading and that it was this image that ignited the anger over the Foley beheading. 

Some liberals planned to get close to the Obama home, but someone had built a wall around it. 

But that didn't stop their fervor. The Washington D.C. crowd chanted: "Hey, hey, ho, ho, we want answer from you "O."

Russell Simmons leads "I am a Muslim too" rally

The muezzin called out Adhan, the Muslim call to prayer, through Time Square in New York City on Sunday afternoon. 

A yooge, mixed-faith crowd who apparently know very little about Islam all declared their allegiance to the religion. 

There were social activists, street vendors, who wanted to make a buck or two; organizers, who, if they're devout Muslims, are secretly laughing in their sleeves at the clueless crowd; and curious tourists, who are naive and willing to pay ten dollars for a Sunday Times and saw the protest as a bargain, and actual protesters, many of whom get paid to make trouble, were in attendance.

As far as I know, however, none in the crowd accidentally converted to Islam because they would be killed if they tried to leave the religion of peace.

"I am a Muslim, too!" the low-information group chanted at the anti-Trump rally which was  organized by former friend of President Trump, Russell Simmons. He had the help of an even dumber rabbi and an imam who knew it.

"We are here, unified, because of Donald Trump, so we won't speak too harshly of him tonight--today. We want to thank him for bringing us together," Simmons said.

Simmons was a friend of Trump and he spent many weekends at Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida. He even was with Trump on his first date with now-First Lady Melania Trump and Donald even wrote the forward for two of Simmons' books. What a pal.

However, when Trump first announced his candidacy for president, Simmons said he would "rather Kim Kardashian be president" than Trump. The pair haven't spoken since 2015 and now all Simmons does is speak against him.

"We are here today to show Middle America our beautiful sides," Simmons said, possibly not realizing that Trump won spectacularly in Middle America and that they are in favor of his temporary immigration halt of seven terrorist-spawning countries. "And through our beautiful actions and intentions, that they have been misled. That the seeds of hate that were small, and maybe just ignorance, cannot be watered, and that hate cannot grow."

I have no doubt that Simmons hasn't read the Qur'an or knows anything about sharia law. I have no doubt the people at the protest are just as ignorant.

Susan Sarandon, the aging actress who recently told a gay website magazine that she is willing to have sex with anyone able to turn oxygen into carbon dioxide, told the crowd that "if you are silent, you are complicit" in the "dismantling" of the Constitution and Bill of Rights.

The hypocrisy was palpable.

As Sarandon spoke of love, the crowd showed the exact opposite behavior. Protesters were yelling at cops, yelling "fascist" as they tried to control the crowd. They said the cops were "un-American" because they were "squelching" freedom of speech--much like the left does to invited conservatives who attempt to speak at colleges and other public forums only to be shouted down or a riot breaks out to prevent the dialogue.

The morons at this event had drawings of Trump as both Hitler and Mussolini, which, by doing so, minimizes the horrible injustices both of those tyrants perpetrated upon their respective countries. If Trump is Hitler, everyone is Hitler, just like it is with the race card the left constantly pulls.

One sign read: "Love Trumps Hate" and it was crossed out by the young man holding it with the words now reading: "Smash The State."

They call it love, but it's hatred and blame for the United States, and because it's the USA, they have the freedom and liberty to protest. 

They're simply too stupid to understand the irony.

Mexicans form human chain to protest US sovereignty

Ciudad Juarez, Mexico -- Around 1,500 Mexican protesters formed a human chain Friday along the U.S. - Mexico border. They believe there should be no reason to be prevented from entering the United States without legal process, just because President Trump and millions of Americans want the country to remain sovereign and safe.

"Hand-in-hand we show a national unity that makes no distinction between people," said Senator Armando Rios Piter, as he stood longingly looking over his shoulder at the country he longs to leave, along with other politicos and students. "Mexico is more than a wall."

Si amigo. Mexico is a country you want to leave for a country that is like no other in the world. At least it's like no other country in the world at this time, but it seems as if that's subject to change if the left gets its way.

Mayor Armando Cabada of Ciudad Juarez, said the human chain shows that the people in the border region are more united, not untied, than ever. And if they want to enter the United States, come hell or high water, they're going to do it.

"You can take that to the banco, Gringo Trump," someone with a "Hello Kitty" backpack shouted from the crowd.

Oscar Leeser, the Mexican-born leftist mayor of El Paso, Texas also protested with the others. "We are one city," he lied, obviously not a big fan of the U.S. remaining a sovereign country nor of the U.S. Constitution which he swore to uphold.

Leeser was born in Chihuahua, Mexico and came to the U.S., legally, when he was nine.

A human chain was also planned in the spicy little town of Tijuana.

Construction of the promised wall by President Trump is slated to begin within months.

Infant dies at anti-police protest: police try to save child

Baltimore -- The Baltimore police say an infant died during a recent protest of a police-involved shooting.

A news release by the Baltimore PD said that the baby's mother was with a crowd of about 30 others to protest Saturday at the scene of Friday's shooting of a knife-wielding man who was shot before he could injure or kill a police officer.

Police said that people approached officer Major Richard Gibson, telling him an infant girl wasn't breathing inside a restaurant. Officer Gibson performed CPR until paramedics arrived.

The one-month-old baby was taken to a nearby hospital where she died.

According to witnesses, as per the police report, the infant's mother was protesting then went into the restaurant to feed the baby, who then stopped breathing.

Aside from the blatant stupidity of the mother for taking her infant to a street protest (infants don't belong at protests) the cause of death will be determined by the mother's obstetrician or the state medical examiner.

The irony of this sad event is palpable--someone protesting the police then going to the police for help. 

Isn't it about time for the public to direct their anger at the criminals rather than our police and first responders?
