2 p.m.: Trump declares Antifa a terrorist group as city officials blame outsiders for violence
As protests over the death of George Floyd turned violent this weekend in Chicago and other U.S. cities, government officials have begun to blame organized groups they say are intentionally triggering the violence to create division in America.
In Chicago, officials had yet to cite specific groups for helping turn what had started as peaceful protests into full-blown riots on Saturday night. But during a Sunday news conference Mayor Lori Lightfoot said of the violence, “absolutely, it was organized. There’s no question whatsoever about that.”
I think Chicago has the wrong guy on the job.
Yesterday afternoon while ANTIFA and BLM was moving into position, Superintendent Brown found the time to place nice nice with some activist reporter in Minneapolis. To say he was distracted is putting it mildly.

These people could give a rats ass about George Floyd. They are acting like this because they are mentally ill and even insane, and worst of all, they are getting away with it. Let's treat them like the assholes they are.
- Teargas and water-cannons
- Arrest and detention without bail, pending trial
- Stiff sentencing
- Shut down the "L" until this has passed.
Mayor Lightfoot is urged to treat this situation most seriously. Don't invite them to lawfully assemble and voice their outrage. Stop MF ing the police, they are doing the best they can. Demand that the culprits be prosecuted by the states attorney. Your duty to the people of Chicago, your oath of office, requires that you slam the hammer on these people now, or else you may not have a city left.

The Rush to Convict ........... ... ........
POSTED ON MAY 29, 2020 BY JOHN HINDERAKER IN CRIME, POLICING
MEDICAL EXAMINER: GEORGE FLOYD WASN’T ASPHYXIATED
From the first hours after George Floyd died on Lake Street in Minneapolis, the rush to convict the officers who took him into custody seemed unstoppable. The frenzy was fueled by a video of one of the officers kneeling on Floyd, seemingly on his throat, while the officers waited for an ambulance to arrive. Every politician in Minnesota (and elsewhere) denounced the video as “appalling,” “disgusting,” and so on, and called for the policemen’s heads. Only a few brave souls suggested that we should wait to learn the cause of Floyd’s death before stringing anyone up. Or burning anything down.
Today we got the first information from Hennepin County’s Medical Examiner, in an attachment to the criminal complaint against officer Derek Chauvin:
The Hennepin County Medical Examiner (ME) conducted Mr. Floyd’s autopsy on May 26, 2020. The full report of the ME is pending but the ME has made the following preliminary findings. The autopsy

The owner of the South Minneapolis club said both men worked security at her club and their shifts overlapped. She says the two men both worked for her as early as last year.

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — The Rev. Jesse Jackson is heading to Minneapolis on Thursday to speak about the death of George Floyd.
The civil rights leader is slated to hold a 1 p.m. press conference with faith leaders at Missionary Baptist Church, according to his staff.
Early Thursday, Jackson spoke with Jason DeRusha on WCCO This Morning, calling Floyd’s death a “lynching in broad daylight.”

He called for the Minneapolis Police Department to “cleanse itself, inside and out.” He added that all four officers involved in the incident were equally guilty.
Jackson’s event in Minneapolis will come following a night of chaos in Minneapolis, as protests turned violent overnight with fires and looting. One man was shot dead.

“If you’d told me six months ago that the governor of Illinois would declare churches ‘nonessential’ and shut them down, while liquor stores are ‘essential’ and open, I’d have asked what blend of weed you were smoking,” Peter Breen of the Thomas More Society told me.
What we’ve been smoking? Fear. It’s all been tightly rolled in the scraps of the First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States. We’ve been inhaling deeply for months.
And the leaders of the lockdown party — Gov. J.B. Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot — are on the verge of losing control. Rookie politicians make rookie mistakes.
Pritzker’s initial stay-at-home-order, in March, did not consider worship services as essential. But after the Thomas More Society filed a lawsuit on behalf of a church in Lena, Illinois, the governor scrambled to modify his order. Pritzker allowed worship services but imposed social distancing guidelines and limited the free exercise of religion to only 10 or fewer people at a time.
The people are pushing back. The pressure builds like a rain-swollen river pushing on a levee.

In his final days as Illinois Senate president, John Cullerton transferred $92,000 from a political account he controlled to the campaign funds of two Senate colleagues targeted by federal prosecutors: his distant cousin Thomas Cullerton and Martin Sandoval.
Thomas Cullerton — who got $32,000 in January — had pleaded “not guilty” to federal charges accusing him of taking $274,000 in salary and benefits for a no-show Teamsters job.
Sandoval — who got $60,000 — had just resigned his Senate seat and days later pleaded guilty to taking $250,000 in bribes and filing a false income-tax return.
Within days after they got the money, records show, both men made sizable payments to their defense

Another Pritzker Investment
Pardon me but don't you think the governor should be investing in Illinois like the rest of us have? I mean, he is the governor of a very depressed state. I would think that he would do everything in his power to fix Illinois and restore confidence. This project tends to have the opposite effect.
CHICAGO - A big construction project at JB Pritzker’s Wisconsin horse farm has some questioning whether the governor is honoring the spirit of his own stay-at-home order.
FOX 32 News watched Thursday as construction workers from Illinois crossed the border to work on the governor’s farm. Pritzker, though, says there is no double standard

Groot Steps on Pritzker
- Doug Dunlay was “absolutely thrilled” when Gov. J.B. Pritzker announced Wednesday that restaurants could start serving customers on their patios as soon as May 29, the day his current stay-at-home order expires.
Dunlay, the owner of Smoke Daddy in Wicker Park, said he and his team immediately sprang into action and started mapping out the restaurant’s patio to adhere to the state’s social distancing guidelines. After struggling for months after the COVID-19
