CHAZ/CHOP CHEERS when NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo says that "if the people of a city down't want there to be a police department, then 'they shouldn't have it.'"

Expect theft 'uplanned donations' at a minimum.

IF ONLY: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez takes vow of silence to end racism, immediately gains bipartisan support.

NO FUTURE. Right.

IT'S DIFFERENT when rioters come to your home.

THERE IS ONE WAY to stop the unraveling of civic society: Refuse the mob.

We have seen again and again that the mob comes only for those who hope to please it. And when it does, no amount of apology will save you. We stand against the mob and all its aims. We stand against the chaos and violence, the silencing of debate, the purging of heretics, the rewriting of history, and the destruction of the greatest country in the world. We will defend the most majestic achievement of humankind, the United States of America, against the most ignoble impulse in human history, to tear down that which is good.

I stand with them against mob rule.

DOES HE INCLUDE HIMSELF? California Gov. Gavin Newsom says people now required to wear masks in public.

Somehow I doubt it.

WUHAN FLU [CORONAVIRUS] UPDATE for June 19, 2020: It's been a week since the last update. Here's what it looks like today.

There's been a scale change (all axes), but that said, it's pretty much as expected. The cumulative deaths curve is still trying to flatten, and the death rate curve is still trending down. It's over. Despite all the hype, we just had a bad flu season.

Today's death rate is 0.0954%, typical of flu, and the estimated number of uninfected Americans is now down to 61.493%. Testing is now much more widespread, with total tests approaching 26 million, less than 9% positive, and 0.43% of the tested population dying.

In Georgia, the 7-day rolling average of reported cases has exceeded its previous (April 12) high, but the death rate (again a 7-day rolling average) is declining again after an initial spike.

DEMOCRAT HYPOCRISY IN FULL VIEW: calling for Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam to resign while touting his appearance at their virtual state convention.

THE RECOVERY BEGINS. In Europe.

MOB RULE: New levels of crazy.

All because our self-appointed 'betters' are too spineless to tell the wokesters to sit down and shut the hell up.

CAN’T STAND FREE SPEECH? You’re fired!

HERE'S A THOUGHT, COURTESY OF THE CANCEL CULTURE: Let’s ‘demonetize’ NBC News And Google.

And Facebook. And Twitter. And ....

I DON'T THINK HE'LL GET MANY TAKERS: Herschel Walker offers to fly everyone who doesn’t want police to places where there aren’t any.

IS THERE A VACCINE FOR STUPID? Dallas county declares racism a public health emergency.

CHAIRMAN MAO ZEDONG has gotten his revenge.

[T]here is to be no joy, no fun, no happiness, no sports, nothing outside the revolution. Only thoughts of politics and social justice, and a reliance on the guidance from the wise ones. Above all, there can be no unapproved opinions. It is an assault on the West, its civilization, and its achievements; its history is being rewritten to be one of unmitigated repression and racial hatred.

Not yet. And not if we can help it.

THIS LEFTIST TANTRUM IS AN INFORMATION OPERATION and Trump is winning it.

Scumbagistan is a giant zit on the face of liberalism, and why should Trump pop it? He’s letting it fester for all of us to see – and winning the information war.

I admit I'd like to see a few Leftist heads cracked together, but almost as good will be to watch them slink away in shame....

ONLY INSOFAR AS IT AFFECTS HIS HOUSE. Is Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler finally waking up on dangers of left-wing extremism?

NO MORE CHIEFS (OR CHEFS?): Duluth (Minnesota, natch) language police chop the word from their vocabulary. In order to have "more inclusive leadership, and less language that is rooted in hurt and offensive and intentional marginalization.”

Except 'chief' is rooted in French and Latin....

I found this part funny: "You are so right. Not only that, but chef has the same Latin root (and Chef is also the noun for chief in German, not just French). If it's so doggone problematic, what are we going to call the cooky foody makey people?"

Well, 'cooky foody makey people', perhaps. My compliments to the chef cooky foody makey person....

YEAH. THAT'LL WORK. Send in the social workers.

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON: How cultural revolutions die -- or not.

Once a cultural revolution gets going, there can be no contextualization of the past, no allowance for human frailty, no consideration of weighing evil vs. good.

Eventually, the architects of cultural upheavals always make two miscalculations.

One, they presume that destroying things will never apply to themselves, given their loud virtue signaling.

Two, if they are fingered by the mob, they assume they can somehow use their clout and influence to win an exemption.

In other words, once cultural revolutions turn anarchic and eat their own, they lose support.

They're beginning to eat their own, so let's hope for a quick death.

IT WASN'T THAT HARD: How I ran afoul of campus cancel culture.

CHRONICLES OF THE CRAZY TIME: "If you're going to cancel everything with a racist history then the US Democratic Party needs to be abolished."

Seconded....

THE LAMESTREAM MAINSTREAM MEDIA is coming apart at the seams.

So is the progressive Left.

But of course I repeat myself....

I'M BEGINNING to like the cancel culture.
