This is why Jacob Blake had a warrant out for his arrest
Excerpt: The cops involved in the shooting of Jacob Blake — which touched off a fresh wave of angry, anti-police sentiment across the country — were attempting to arrest him for violating a restraining order stemming from an alleged sexual assault, The Post has learned. Blake, 29, was forbidden from going to the Kenosha home of his alleged victim from the May 3 incident, and police were dispatched Sunday following a 911 call saying he was there. The responding officers were aware he had an open warrant for felony sexual assault, according to dispatch records and the Kenosha Professional Police Association, which released a statement on the incident on Friday. Blake, who was paralyzed in the shooting, had been handcuffed to his hospital bed due to the warrant, which was vacated Friday, according to a statement released by his lawyer, Benjamin Crump. His restraints were removed, but he is still facing the criminal charges, Crump said.

California’s First Experiment without Police
California’s First Experiment without Police
Excerpt: The temporary collapse of authority in many American cities, and the proposals of “defund the police” advocates to make that collapse permanent, has illustrated a timeless truth: When government authority dissolves, people will form their own armed enforcers of order. You will not get a peace-and-love utopia: You will instead get vigilante justice, posses, and lynchings. It will not be pretty; in Kenosha, Wis., it has already led to one well-publicized shooting. More force still will be needed to retake control. Come back with me to San Francisco in the 1850s to see how Americans learned this lesson once before.

Clinesmith Guilty Plea: Lying about Lying
Clinesmith Guilty Plea: Lying about Lying
Excerpt: Consider for a moment how much effort Clinesmith must have put into tampering with the document: A government lawyer thinking about whether to falsify a document from another government agency, understanding that a court would be deceived, and crafting the alteration in a way that would not tip off an experienced supervisory FBI investigator. It is worth thinking about, not least because, when the IG first asked about the alteration, Clinesmith insisted that he was not sure how it had happened. Only when he knew he was caught did Clinesmith confess to tampering with the email. Only then did he shift to his new and improved story: Yes, he had gone through the trouble of manipulating the document, but it still accurately reflected the “impression” he’d formed from telephone conversations with the CIA liaison that only he recalls having. [It has taken a while for this third part of Andy McCarthy’s report on Clinesmith’s guilty plea to become available. For reasons unknown to me, National Review didn’t make this part easily available. I had to go searching to find it. Now, we have it, and it ties the ribbon of facts in a nice bow. Ron P.]

The White House and DC last night: A Contrast between Law and Lawlessness
Here's the contrast... were there people at any parts of the DNC events screaming and threatening those attending? No, there weren't. I would be surprised if there weren't some with signs and wearing MAGA hats, but no reports of anyone screaming or threatening violence, and with the media today, a lack of reports about conservatives acting badly is a guarantee such events did not occur. Otherwise you'd have seen it all over the TV news and on the front page of the NYTimes. This is really the contrast, between those trying to remain civilized and those who don't care much about that at all. Why would I or anyone want to vote for whomever it is the screaming, nasty mob wants to have elected --Del

What Is the Violence in American Cities All About? By VICTOR DAVIS Hanson
What Is the Violence in American Cities All About? By VICTOR DAVIS Hanson
Excerpt: The point of the mob is to destroy what it cannot create. It is hard to tell what the current revolutionary violence in our major cities is all about. So far, hundreds of police have been injured, dozens of people have been killed, and we have seen billions of dollars in property and collateral damage. ... None of these explanations are mutually exclusive. But all reflect confusion over why often-senseless vandalism has been directed at statues of Ulysses S. Grant and Frederick Douglass, and at the World War II Memorial. Why do liberal authors and artists fear there is a new McCarthyite cancel culture that threatens to take out even progressive sympathizers? Why do city governments defund police departments at the very moment vulnerable residents are most fearful for their safety?

At Least Two Killed, One Injured in Shooting on Third Night of Rioting in Kenosha
Excerpt: Two people are dead and a third is injured after a shooting Tuesday in Kenosha, Wis. where armed citizens intent on protecting local businesses confronted an angry crowd outside a car dealership during the third consecutive night of rioting over the shooting of Jacob Blake. One person was shot in the head and another in the chest, Kenosha County Sheriff David Beth told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. While no arrests have been made, Beth said authorities have been able to identify at least one person involved using social media footage of the incident

Campaigning While American Cities Burn
Excerpt: I don’t think the core problem of the riots is presidential rhetoric. I don’t even think the problem is that Democratic lawmakers are too mealy mouthed in their denunciations or criticism. I think the core of the problem is that a lot of opportunistic malcontents are smashing store windows, stealing merchandise, assaulting people, and setting fires because they think they can escape any serious consequences.

Clinesmith
Clinesmith’s Guilty Plea: The Perfect Snapshot of Crossfire Hurricane Duplicity
Excerpt: We learn from the Inspector General’s report on the FBI’s FISA abuse that, from the very beginning, Clinesmith was in on OGC deliberations about seeking FISA surveillance of Page. Even before September 2016, when he first learned about Steele’s reporting, he told the IG he believed that there was a “50/50” chance of establishing probable cause that Page was a clandestine agent for Russia. For that assessment, he relied on “Page’s historical contacts with Russian intelligence officers.” At that point, he says he did not know that the CIA had told the FBI that Page was a CIA informant when these contacts took place. So, when the first FISA warrant was sought in October 2016 (and the second in January, and the third in April), he agreed that the probable-cause standard was easily satisfied by these contacts, weighed in combination with Steele’s (uncorroborated) claims about Page, as well as Page’s statements to Halper (as bowdlerized by the bureau). Echoing his bosses, then, Clinesmith adopted the “Page is a Russian spy” fantasy from the get-go. If subsequent developments ever called for scrutinizing the kamikaze portrayal of Page as a spy, Clinesmith was sure to be on the hook. And while the higher-ups would take most of the heat if the bureau proved to be embarrassingly wrong, it is always the underlings like Clinesmith who get hung out to dry for misinforming their superiors. That is how Washington works. Clinesmith, a Washington creature, realized this only too well. [Notice that the FBI investigation starts well BEFORE the election in NOVEMBER of 2016. This is the first of a three-part McCarthy examination of what happened, when and why. This part is seriously concerning; I suspect the remaining parts will be worse. Ron P.]
Clinesmith Guilty Plea: Using a ‘Digraph’ to Conceal a Massive Deception of the Court
Excerpt: To recap, we are focusing on June 2017, when the FBI was preparing to submit an application for a fourth 90-day warrant to surveil former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page. The “SSA,” a supervisory special agent at FBI headquarters whom we met in Part 1, was to be the affiant on that application to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC). Not assigned to Crossfire Hurricane until December 2016, the SSA had not been involved in the investigation when the bureau opened it five months earlier. He was personally unaware that, months before the first Page FISA warrant was sought in October 2016, the CIA had informed the FBI about Page’s years of work as a CIA informant, authorized by the agency for “operational contact” with Russians. Though the SSA was not on the investigative team, he had been the headquarters official assigned to swear to the truth of the renewal warrant applications in January and April 2017. He thus knew that the bureau heavily relied on Page’s prior years of contact with Russians in portraying Page to the FISC as a clandestine agent of Moscow, at the center of a suspected Trump-Russia espionage conspiracy. The SSA became alarmed when Page, while vehemently denying that he was a spy for Russia, publicly claimed that he’d been a U.S. government intelligence source against Russia. The SSA realized that if Page was telling the truth, it would “seriously impact the predication of our entire investigation.” That was not the half of it. [This is Part 2 of a 3-part series. As stated in yesterday’s comment on Part 1, the situation just keeps growing, the hole keeps getting deeper. The 3rd part should be out tomorrow, the 26th. Ron P.]

No wonder the Democrats love China!
Radio Free Asia—the U.S.-government-backed media company in East Asia—is out with a harrowing report on the lengths the Chinese government has gone to to enforce its “family planning” limits on the persecuted Uighur population. An obstetrician who worked for years in Xinjiang hospitals told RFA that Uighur families were restricted to three children in rural areas and two children in urban ones. “Enforcement of restrictions requiring women to space out pregnancies by at least three years included killing newborns who had been born after being carried to full term,” she said.

Tennessee puts violent protesters on notice with new law that significantly increases criminal punishments
Tennessee puts violent protesters on notice with new law that significantly increases criminal punishments
Good for them, I wish every state would do this, but of course zero chance of that in any run by Democrats. The ACLU comment at the end cracks me up, putting higher penalties on criminal behavior will "chill free speech", really? Nothing in the legislation says people can't protest peacefully, you know, without doing property damage or attacking police and others. Apparently that's just too restrictive, and they don't want people to lose their voting rights for a felony conviction. Simple answer- don't commit the felony, but again, that's too complicated and demanding for some. --Del

Scott Adams, the creator of 'Dilbert' and a student of persuasion, explains why he thinks that Joe Biden citing the 2017 "fine people" in Charlottesville "race hoax" during his DNC acceptance speech disqualifies him from being the president, on his Friday morning "Coffee With Scott Adams" podcast.
Adams said "the fact that he based his campaign on being the guy of good character and the one who cares, while at the same time and in the same speech perpetuated the most divisive race hoax in American history -- the fine people hoax," is disqualifying for Biden.
"He's basing his campaign on a debunked hoax," he said. "What do people who believe the hoax say? 'Oh, you right-wing crazy people are trying to tell us we didn't hear it with our own ears. I saw it and I heard it and I can prove it. Here's the video of what I saw and what I heard.' And then, they'll show the edited video -- which is the hoax."
