The case against Rahman and Mattis...Because the incident involved an explosive device, a specialized unit of NYPD officers and FBI agents, called the Joint Terrorism Task Force — formed in 1980 to root out threats to national security — spearheaded the investigation. Within hours of the arrest, before Brooklyn prosecutors had even begun writing up charges, FBI agent Kyle Johnson submitted a criminal complaint in federal court, and federal prosecutors informed local authorities that the US attorney’s office for the Eastern District of New York was taking over the case."

 

Apparently, The US attorney’s office for the Eastern District of New York actually does prosecute criminals. It will be fun to follow this case because it is tied to race and justice. “It’s very easy to suggest they could have reacted differently from what’s alleged, but what’s being expressed in the streets is a hurt people of color have had to hold for generations,” said a friend of both. Both are immigrants, yet both felt entitled to destroy even though their families have not been in this country even one generation, let alone generations plural.

 

If Biden wins the case will be stuffed, but if Trump wins, good luck. The irony is that the police car was already burned out. Hopefully they will never see a court room as lawyers ever again.

The United States is suffering a full blown example of gaslighting extraordinaire.  The MSM and many elected officials are attempting to convince us that the reality we see all around us are merely peaceful calls for change.  

 

Colonel Sherman T. Potter would brand it "horse hockey."  I'm with Sherm!

Not sure if this has been discussed elsewhere,  but I had this on in the background yesterday and it was an astonishing WTF moment. Invoking the name George Soros on Outnumbered is apparently verboten. 

 

 

 

I loved the crickets moment in that.  LOL

Harris addressed it the next day (today) but not very well. She acted as if there was nothing to apologize for and stressed that "Outnumbered" was just edgy. She then went on to say that someone (obviously Harf) tried to silence a well respected former Speaker of the House.

Melissa Francis is the one who tried to silence him and Harf agreed with her.  If I were Newt, I'd have said "thanks, good day" and then left.

Harf is a total fool! She’s the one that while working in the State Department actually told America the Taliban was upset because they needed jobs. 😂

I know.  She's only there because of her looks.

Some of these players get it.  They’re seeing through all of the virtue signaling.  I deleted a post I shared from some conversations around the league because they were confidential in nature (and I had no business sharing them, regardless of my good intentions).  But the more we engage these coaches and players the more we see that they are intelligent men that aren’t comfortable with a unity message turning into celebrating those who have been lost amidst criminal affiliations and activities.  My message to Mr Rose’s mother, as plainly as I can say it, is The accountability you are now looking to hold over the Pittsburgh Steelers, was the accountability you should’ve held over your son and his choices.  I’ve said that message many times over to parents of players I used to coach.  We have to be accountable for the choices we make, regardless of the outcome.

Football is next.  The ugliness of basketball was on full display when people came out in droves to celebrate Jonathan Isaac’s knee injury for expressing his faith in God and the importance of loving each other, rather than following his peers and virtue signaling.

 

Fortunately, we’re already seeing this in the NFL with the Pittsburgh fiasco.  The NFL is very much like Hollywood.  A small group is decidedly more vocal than the mass and they think this intimidation factor will carry.  Thankfully, unlike Hollywood, the large percentage of well-respected black players, coaches and personnel that are beginning to raise concerns or even oppose virtue signaling is growing and it sure is going to make it hard for the loud talkers to label them as racist.  I have a lot of faith in these players and I love the true investment in togetherness.  Putting a criminal’s name on the back of a helmet to increase the martyr factor...  Not so much.
 

 

I believe from people I’ve talked to, this is going to backfire.

You’re not alone in that thinking and it is reflecting in ratings and profit.  They can say it’s COVID, but they know.  We’ll learn a lot about the NFL’s social justice efforts when it’s cast against net profits, shared earnings and corporate sponsorships.  If you’ve ever shaken hands with Mr Goodell, you know what motivates him.  
 

My hope is the players can keep the important issues afloat and distinguish them away from the nonsense.  There’s tremendous good here, for players to use their platform and money to help the communities they came from, be better.  Tre White is a perfect example of grace and humility.
