Morning Greatness: Charges Escalated, More Cops Arrested for Floyd Death

Good Thursday morning.

Here is what’s on the president’s agenda today:

  • The president receives his intelligence briefing
  • President Trump signs an Executive Order on Expediting Permitting

Charges upped for Minneapolis cops, autopsy released

Minnesota’s AG Keith Ellison has brought new charges against the cops involved in the George Floyd murder. The officer with his knee on the neck of Floyd, Derek Chauvin, has had his charges elevated from 3rd degree murder to 2nd degree murder and the other three cops have been arrested and charged with Aiding and abetting second-degree murder.

Floyd’s autopsy results were released, there are two: one from the state and one paid for by the family. They are at odds. What we know is that Floyd tested positive for coronavirus, and the report revealed three “natural diseases:” (1) “arteriosclerotic heart disease,” which it described as “multifocal, severe;” (2) “hypertensive heart disease,” which included a “clinical history of hypertension,” and (3) a left pelvic tumor, which it described as “incidental.” (Incidental tumors are generally benign.) He also had some drugs in his system like fentanyl and marijuana.

Barack Obama decided to speak last night because this civil unrest is not about anything other than obtaining power. It’s not about police brutality. If it were, why haven’t all the Democrats who have run the cities for years if not decades fixed their police forces? The cities are run by liberals, the same ones out walking with the protestors and posting black squares on social media, or virtue signalling for the media. But what have they DONE with their power? NOTHING. And yet the same people who are protesting vote for the same clowns.

I didn’t listen to Obama and I don’t care what he said. His main purpose was to undermine Trump and prop up the feeble, confused Joe Biden to beat Trump in November. This is merely the latest attempt to screw middle America and working class people who voted for Trump in 2016. They want to make sure that doesn’t happen again in 2020.

Fauci talks about whether to open up schools in the fall

OH HELL NO. We are absolutely not having this conversation, the discussion is OVER.

“I hesitate to make any broad statements about whether it is or is not quote ‘safe’ for kids to come back to school,” Fauci told CNN.

“When you talk about children going back to school and their safety, it really depends on the level of viral activity, and the particular area that you’re talking about. What happens all too often, understandably, but sometimes misleadingly, is that we talk about the country as a whole in a unidimensional way.”

Well I have a broad, unidimensional statement to make, Fauci and it’s SHUT YOUR FACE. We have thousands and thousands of “protestors” crowded together for prolonged periods of time in the street for days and I haven’t heard a peep from you and your posse of scientists who scolded the filthy casuals for wanting to re-open their businesses, go to church, get a manicure or hair cut. (I did see this letter from the scientists, however.) I haven’t seen the brain trusts in the media shrieking about grandma-killers. Did I miss you, Fauci, on all the Sunday shows and the nightly news agitprop begging protestors to go back inside lest they spread the virus and kill their elderly family members. NO. So now we know what this lockdown was all about: control and power. Everything needs to open up RIGHT NOW, this game is OVER.
