Excerpt: Leggat, the security consultant, said intelligence reports from his colleagues indicate most of the hard-core protesters in Minneapolis are far-left or anarchists, and that far-right groups have not yet made a significant appearance. He said looting is typically done by locals – usually people with no criminal record who just get caught up in the moment.

Excerpt: Attorney General William Barr on Saturday confirmed that when he said it was Antifa that hijacked these peaceful protests and started the riots. There have been quite a few instances where black protestors have attempted to stop white Antifa members from looting and vandalizing buildings.

The BIG Problem: If NO CV19 Surges in Opening States, Then What?

The BIG Problem: If NO CV19 Surges in Opening States, Then What?
Excerpt: But we are now confronted by a critical question, one that is the most consequential of all in the debate about our national pandemic response, which few dare to ask. For the record, we heard a lot about "flattening the curve" during the initial stages of the pandemic, and to that end we can say both the infection and economy were flattened. But the unspoken reason for the disastrous partial economic shutdown over the last two months was to protect the nation's most vulnerable citizens from the "idiot factor" — those of all ages who would not abide by the basic CDC guidelines to help contain the contagion. Had governors been confident that the idiots among us would follow the CDC guidelines — especially people in densely populated urban areas — the guidelines alone would have provided adequate protection, and far less damaging economic and social restrictions would have been required. That notwithstanding, here's the question: After tens of millions of Americans have lost their jobs, hundreds of thousands of businesses have closed (many forever), and Congress has saddled future generations with another $3 trillion in debt (and counting), what if there are not significant increases of CV19 infections and deaths as states reopen economies? [Alexander asks some interesting questions and offers some disquieting answers. Ron P.]

Flynn

Respectfully Dissenting from Judge Luttig on Flynn Mandamus
Excerpt: While Judge Luttig is understandably worried about the public reputation of the court, the constitutional priority here is Flynn’s due-process rights. If, as I expect, Sullivan cannot defend his recent actions, the D.C. Circuit should either directly grant the Justice Department’s motion to dismiss, or order the lower court to grant it. The Court of Appeals’ order gave Judge Sullivan ten days to respond to Flynn’s mandamus petition. That is prudent. Sullivan is a highly experienced judge. John Gleeson, the former judge and prosecutor whom Sullivan wants to bring in as his adviser, is also well versed in criminal law. To my mind, they have both been swept away by the heated politics of the moment. Judge Sullivan, in addition, is clearly livid about putting in what may be wasted effort on the case, and no doubt feels ill-used by Flynn’s reversal of course — which happened only after Sullivan elicited from Flynn reaffirmations that he was guilty and was not seeking to withdraw his plea. The ten days give Sullivan an opportunity to count to ten and do his duty. No one is suggesting that he needs to agree with or approve of the Justice Department’s decision to dismiss the case. He must, however, accept that this is the Justice Department’s call to make. [As always, McCarthy makes perfect sense. I think everyone can see that this has become so political, there will be ZERO winners. We will all lose. At this point, the best the general public can hope for is to stop the loss, limit the psychological bleeding and move on. This case is over, except for yelling at each other. Ron P.]

War with China

Super discussion of the war with China we are in. And have been for decades, as far as I am concerned, except none of our leaders would recognize it. Now it's becoming impossible to not see it. This long discussion really brings things into great focus. But I doubt anyone in power will really read and heed it. --Del

Excerpt: It turns out, YouTube has been deleting comments referencing the Chinese government’s communist propaganda arm. Any time someone criticizes the organization, YouTube deletes the comments. It does not appear YouTube is seeking them out. The logical explanation is that the Chinese Communists are en masse tagging the comments as spam and YouTube’s computer systems are automatically dumping them.

How Russiagate Began With Obama’s Iran Deal Domestic Spying Campaign
EXCERPT: It’s not hard to see why the previous president went after Flynn: The retired general’s determination to undo the Iran Deal was grounded in his own experience in two Middle Eastern theaters of combat, where he saw how Iran murdered Americans and threatened American interests. But why Obama would choose the Islamic Republic as a partner and encourage tactics typically employed by third-world police states remain a mystery.

AMERICA'S HONOR

AMERICA'S HONOR
Excerpt: Once we knew who and what to honor on Memorial Day: those who had given all their tomorrows, as was said of the men who stormed the beaches of Normandy, for our todays. But in a world saturated with selfhood, where every death is by definition a death in vain, the notion of sacrifice today provokes puzzlement more often than admiration. We support the troops, of course, but we also believe that war, being hell, can easily touch them with an evil no cause for engagement can wash away. And in any case we are more comfortable supporting them as victims than as warriors. Former football star Pat Tillman and Marine Cpl. Jason Dunham were killed on the same day: April 22, 2004. But as details of his death fitfully emerged from Afghanistan, Tillman has become a metaphor for the current conflict–a victim of fratricide, disillusionment, coverup and possibly conspiracy. By comparison, Dunham, who saved several of his comrades in Iraq by falling on an insurgent’s grenade, is the unknown soldier. The New York Times, which featured Abu Ghraib on its front page for 32 consecutive days, put the story of Dunham’s Medal of Honor on the third page of section B.

The Citizen Army That Will Recall Gavin Newsom

The Citizen Army That Will Recall Gavin Newsom
Excerpt: Even in deep-blue California, it is possible to achieve the impossible. The technology to facilitate mass uprisings is mature and ubiquitous and will function with or without the complicity of the social media and search monopolies. The political realignment we are witnessing in California is not partisan, it is not conservative or liberal, Right or Left, or Republican or Democrat. It is comprised of old and young, rich and poor, black and white, and everyone else. This is a mass uprising. [I’m unsure how seriously to take this article. The author makes some incredibly powerful points, shows a VAST number of unhappy Californians who–if they can be united–would certainly be sufficient to throw out almost every current office holder in the state. But, CAN those unhappy people be united to do that job? I suspect it will be much more difficult than getting people to click on a Faceebook page. I hope I’m wrong. When I was in San Diego in 1965, their highways were literally the wonder of the nation and most of the world. When I visited in the late 1990s, those roads had not been kept up. Every 3rd or 4th person I met was looking over his or her shoulder to watch out for the few trying to enforce immigration laws. That wonderful, truly golden, state is now no more than a shadow of its former self or possibilities. Ron P.]

Flynn Was Not Masked because the FBI Framed Him as a Clandestine Agent of Russia

Flynn Was Not Masked because the FBI Framed Him as a Clandestine Agent of Russia
Excerpt: Meanwhile, the Post is leading the media–Democrat effort to contort the fact that many Republicans were wrong in assuming Flynn had been unmasked prior to his name’s being leaked to the Post in early 2017 into a storyline that those Republicans must have been wrong to claim the leak was illegal. To the contrary, the leak is a felony, regardless of whether an American’s identity should have been concealed. Information collected under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) is classified. The point of classifying information is to keep all of it concealed, not just the names. Though I was right that Flynn was never masked in connection with the Kislyak call on December 29, 2016, I was off the mark in hypothesizing that the conversation may be been intercepted by an intelligence agency other than the FBI — perhaps the CIA or a foreign intelligence service. Sadly, this owes to my giving the FBI the benefit of the doubt: Had Flynn been picked up on a FISA surveillance of which he was not the target (i.e., a surveillance of Kislyak), I reasoned that the FBI would have masked his identity under statutorily required “minimization instructions.” Indeed, we now know that Flynn’s identity was masked (and then unmasked) dozens of times before and after December 29, precisely because the government knew those minimization rules applied to him. Alas, in this as in so much else throughout the Trump–Russia farce, the Bureau played fast and loose with the rules. When investigators are so inclined, it turns out the privacy vouchsafed by the minimization rules is illusory. FBI officials — if they thought about it at all — figured Flynn need not be masked because they did not see him as an innocent American incidentally caught up in foreign surveillance. They purported to suspect that he was a clandestine agent of Russia. Of course, they had no proof of that. And they knew they had no proof. That’s why they never sought a FISA-court warrant targeting Flynn. Doing so would have required showing probable cause that he was an operative of Russia; and as to Flynn, they didn’t even have a fabulist “dossier” to rely on for such a smear. [McCarthy hits this hard. The rest of this article ought to frighten each of us, and more than just a little. You ought to read it. I added emphasis. Ron P.]

D.C. Circuit Orders Judge Sullivan to Respond to Flynn Mandamus Petition

D.C. Circuit Orders Judge Sullivan to Respond to Flynn Mandamus Petition
Excerpt: ...Sullivan’s encouragement of amicus briefs, which are not authorized in criminal cases, flies in the face of Sullivan’s own very firm orders previously declining to permit amicus briefs in Flynn’s case — some two dozen times by Ms. Powell’s count. The appointment of Gleeson is equally astonishing and offensive to the principle of courts as impartial arbiters. Gleeson — who worked at the U.S. attorney’s office for the Eastern District of New York with Loretta Lynch (later President Obama’s attorney general) and Andrew Weissmann (chief prosecutor on the Mueller probe that brought the Flynn case — and now a Biden for President fundraiser) — has co-written a Washington Post op-ed portraying the Justice Department’s dismissal motion as an abuse of power. [Gee whiz. What are the chances retired Judge Gleeson might hold an opinion on this case and be biased? But, he’s a Democrat and they’re never biased, right? I’m told writs of mandamus are exceedingly rare and seldom granted–but took less than 48 hours for the panel to respond to the request for this one. That tells us a lot about Judge Sullivan, too, doesn't it? Ron P.]
