The U.S. Department of Justice today identified the following three jurisdictions that have permitted violence and destruction of property to persist and have refused to undertake reasonable measures to counteract criminal activities: New York City; Portland, Oregon; and Seattle, Washington. The Department of Justice is continuing to work to identify jurisdictions that meet the criteria set out in the President’s Memorandum and will periodically update the list of selected jurisdictions as required therein.
The list was published on DOJ’s website today in response to President Trump’s memorandum of September 2, 2020, entitled “Memorandum on Reviewing Funding to State and Local Government Recipients That Are Permitting Anarchy, Violence, and Destruction in American Cities.”
“When state and local leaders impede their own law enforcement officers and agencies from doing their jobs, it endangers innocent citizens who deserve to be protected, including those who are trying to peacefully assemble and protest,” said Attorney General William P. Barr. “We cannot allow federal tax dollars to be wasted when the safety of the citizenry hangs in the balance. It is my hope that the cities identified by the Department of Justice today will reverse course and become serious about performing the basic function of government and start protecting their own citizens.”

Uncomfortable Truths about the #WhiteRacists of Antifa & BLM
“You’re setting fires in the streets?” asks a black female driver tonight who is stopped by antifa rioters in north Portland. “Get out of my way!” She refuses to follow their orders. Video by @BGOnTheScene. #PortlandRiots pic.twitter.com/pd3cSN0Ikx

Can we step back before going over the cliff?
Yesterday, in a brilliant conversation with the gents from Triggernometry, Douglas Murray expands on what he wrote in The Madness of Crowds and explains that “normies“, both Left and Right now must speak out against the madness of BLM & Antifa.
Speaking of which, here’s a question to pose to your left-of-centre friends & family: Please tell me how the beliefs of Black Lives Matter are inherently different from the Ku Klux Klan. Their desired outcomes might be different but their general belief systems are remarkable similar.
Update: Here’s a follow-up article by Douglas Murray.

An Antifa Murderer’s Manifesto
The alleged murderer of a Patriot Prayer member is 48 year old Michael Reinoehl of Gresham, Oregon. It appears that Reinoehl posted this on his Instagram page
Full text of his post:
Every Revolution needs people that are willing and ready to fight. There are so many of us protesters that are just protesting without a clue of where that will lead. That’s just the beginning that’s where the fight starts. If that’s as far as you can take it thank you for your participation but please stand aside and support the ones that are willing to fight. I am 100% ANTIFA all the way! I am willing to fight for my brothers and sisters! Even if some of them are too ignorant to realize what antifa truly stands for. We do not want violence but we will not run from it either! If the police continue to pick on and beat up innocent citizens that are peacefully voicing their objections, it must be met with equal force! We are currently living through a crucial point in Humanities evolution. We truly have an opportunity right now to fix everything. But it will be a fight like no other! It will be a war and like all wars there will be casualties. I was in the army and I hated it. I did not feel like fighting for them would ever be a good cause. Today’s protesters and antifa are my brothers in arms. This is a Cause to fight for This truly is fighting for my country! I have children that need to live in a world run by Common Sense and human decency. And I will do anything to make sure that happens. Now is the time to change the course of humanity. If we fold now just because they show some Force we will be lost for another hundred years. And I don’t think the planet will let us live that long if we don’t straighten shit up. Please be safe strong and United. I love you all❤️💪🙏

@MrAndyNgo – Security for @tedwheeler’s condo said a while ago they called police but no one has showed up so far.
“So grateful they held that tourniquet with one hand while holding their phones in the other..”

Rioters attacking the police, assaulting residents and burning down stores are now crying for the police to stop the shooters in Kenosha.

@MrAndyNgo Daily Caller reporter @RichieMcGinniss was almost shot. He’s seen in the footage taking off his shirt to help stop the bleeding on the man on the ground. #KenoshaRiots
Other footage preceding this shows a mob chasing the shooter, who fell. This is what followed.

Update @Cernovich: They are charging him with intentional homicide. That’s going to be a very rough case to make.
The narrative is shifting: “Liberals suddenly want the riots to stop because they realize it’s hurting their election chances.
There Goes The Narrative
Not that it matters, because #BLM was never about George Floyd.
Hennepin County Attorney's Office released this document. Dr. Andrew Baker, the Chief Hennepin County Medical Examiner who reviewed #GeorgeFloyd's blood test, says the substances found lead him to conclude it was an overdose death. #BlackLivesMatter. Read: pic.twitter.com/xyaQvHDpQw
