#BlackLivesMatter

“They’re trying to George Floyd me.”

Cops and Cocaine both start with a ‘C’.

Patrisse Cullors, the co-founder of the racist hate group Black Lives Matter, claimed that her cousin, Keenan Anderson, “was killed by LAPD in Venice on January 3rd, 2023”.

The outspoken host of ESPN’s “First Take” and “The Stephen A. Smith Show” podcast is fed up with black-on-black crime and the silence that surrounds it. This week Smith said during his eponymous podcast that he “had no choice” but to talk about it. Lamenting the high number of shootings in Chicago over the long Memorial Day Weekend, Smith had a question for the black community: “When are we going to look at ourselves when it comes to black people being killed in the streets of America?”

Everything that touches the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation reeks of cynicism.

The group’s latest financial disclosure shows it ended the last tax year with a $9 million deficit — plus a new wrinkle: blatantly trying to buy off critics.

At least two big-ticket payments, per the outfit’s tax form 990 for tax year 2022, went to prominent detractors.

Some lottery winners have described their situation as being at the right place at the right time to receive their fortuitous ticket to wealth.

Their windfall immediately changes their lives, making them responsible for managing an amount of money they’d never dreamt of having.

People believe money changes a person, but I believe it only accentuates what was already within: The money just makes it easier to exhibit it.

George Floyd, who robbed a woman at gunpoint and died of a drug overdose while being restrained by police, is being “remembered” in the place that his supporters looted in the days following his accidental death.

The corporates dishing money out to the head honchos of the movement seem to have made a bad call

In the tense uncertainty of spring 2020, when the first Covid lockdown began to ease but the virus was still at large, I was among those who found themselves without a romantic chair when the music had stopped. Though it would be a while before I was ready to exchange saliva with anyone, dating apps became a reassuring diversion.

Or at least they were until George Floyd’s tragic murder in May 2020, at which point such apps began, with extreme intrusiveness, to preach the agenda of the ascendent Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement. The worst of them regularly interrupted swipe-athons with messages demanding allegiance to the ethics of BLM, with the implication that we had better make sure our sexual choices were not racially biased.

Yesterday, California’s Marin County District Attorney’s office announced that it would be reducing felony charges against the Black Lives Matter rioters who dismantled and demolished a St. Junipero Serra statue outside St. Raphael parish in San Francisco. The vandals will only be charged with a misdemeanor.

Warner Bros Television Group secretly ended a multi-platform deal with Patrisse Cullors, the former leader of Black Lives Matter, The Post has learned.

The Post can reveal no shows were produced under the deal, despite Cullors saying she planned dramas, comedies, documentary series and animated programming for children.

Black Lives Matter’s national organization is at risk of going bankrupt after its finances plunged $8.5 million into the red last year – while simultaneously handing multiple staff seven-figure salaries.

Financial disclosures obtained by The Washington Free Beacon show the perilous state of BLM’s Global Network Foundation, which officially emerged in November 2020, as a more formal way of structuring the civil rights movement.

Yet despite the financial controversy and scrutiny, BLM GNF continued to hire relatives of the founder, Patrisse Cullors, and several board members.

Black Lives Matter bled cash and suffered blistering investment losses in 2022, according to a copy of its tax return obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.

Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation ran an $8.5 million deficit and saw the value of its investment accounts plummet by nearly $10 million in the most recent tax year, financial disclosures show. The group logged a $961,000 loss on a securities sale of $172,000, suggesting the charity weathered a staggering 85 percent loss on the transaction. These troubles didn’t stop BLM from doling out seven-figure contracts to friends and family of its former executive director Patrisse Cullors, who once said charity financial disclosures were “triggering” and “deeply unsafe.”

What a shit show.

Jordan Neely’s uncle fled police and then was arrested Monday after being caught with several allegedly stolen credit cards, a day after he spoke out against the ex-Marine accused of placing his nephew in a fatal chokehold, DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal.

Christopher Neely was arrested late Monday night after running away from a police pickpocket team that confronted him at the Port Authority bus terminal in Manhattan, police sources said.

We can see the agitation over the death of Jordan Neely as a call to another summer of rioting.

Back in the summer of 1964, the first of many race riots roiled the nation. They began in Harlem, then spread to Rochester, New York, and then three cities in New Jersey. In the summer of 1965, the Watts neighborhood of Los Angeles went up in flames. For the next three years, cities were rocked with violent upheaval, culminating with Martin Luther King, Jr.’s assassination in 1968. As American cities burned, the great black conservative journalist George Schuyler explained that the violence was a continuation of the Communist agitation of the 1930s.

2022 wasn’t a very good year for Black Lives Matter.

The Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation raised just $9.3 million in the fiscal year ending in June 2022—an 88 percent decrease from the year prior, according to records obtained by the Washington Free Beacon. It’s a staggering decline from Black Lives Matter’s heyday in the summer of 2020, when it parlayed the nationwide unrest that followed George Floyd’s death into an $80 million financial bonanza.

A US Army sergeant convicted of killing a Black Lives Matter protester in 2020 has been sentenced to 25 years in a case that has outraged conservatives.

A judge sentenced Daniel Perry, 36, on Wednesday, for fatally shooting Garrett Foster, 28, at a protest in Austin. Perry and Foster are both white.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott previously said he would pardon Perry as soon as an official request “hits my desk”.

When the Truth Becomes a Dog Whistle

There’s a school of thought that believes that every instrument that makes a sound is a dog whistle.

The MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan provided a remarkably telling example of this perspective a week or so ago when he objected to Bill Maher’s talking about the problem of murders in Chicago in particular and black-on-black crime in general.
