Enjoy your dirt nap dirtball:
The 69-year-old armed man killed by Washington state police as he attacked a local Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center Saturday sent a manifesto to friends the day before the assault in which he wrote "I am Antifa," and was being lionized by members of the leftwing group as a "martyr."
The group Seattle Antifascist Action described assailant Willem Van Spronsen a "good friend and comrade" who "took a stand against the fascist detention center in Tacoma" and "became a martyr who gave his life to the struggle against fascism."
"He was kind and deeply loved by many communities; we cannot let his death go unanswered," the group wrote in a Saturday Facebook post. "Throughout history we idolize figures like John Brown for their courage to take the ultimate stand against oppression, and today we stand strong in our support for yet another martyr in the struggle against fascism. May his death serve as a call to protest and direct action."

The so called community with bonus video: The 69-year-old owner of a hotel in South Florida said he was mercilessly attacked by another man over a minor parking dispute. The beatdown was all caught on security footage, and police have been looking for the suspect. Rudy, the owner of the oceanfront Shore View Hotel in Hollywood, Florida, told WSVN-TV that his parking lot has been regularly used by beachgoers who are not guests of the hotel. "People park in our spaces, even though they say 'tow away' and everything else," explained Rudy. "They'll park in our private property and go to the beach." On May 25, a man driving a red Ford Mustang parked at the Shore View, apparently ignoring the signs. Rudy told the TV reporters that he "very kindly" asked the man to move his car, but that the driver responded by saying, "when he comes to Hollywood, he parks wherever the 'eff' he wants to," according to the hotel owner. The driver allegedly then began to smoke some marijuana in his car, telling Rudy he would leave after he finished. "He was smoking a joint, and he told me that, because I was so nice to him, he would go ahead and leave, but after he finished his joint," said Rudy, "so I told him, 'You can't smoke because I've got a hotel full of people and kids here. The smell is everywhere. You can't do that.'" That's when Rudy said he turned to go into his office to contact the police, but — as seen in the video below — was physically attacked by the car's driver, who can be seen knocking the hotel owner to the ground and then repeatedly punching him. The attacker did not let up until a woman, who had apparently also been in the Mustang, pulled the man off of Rudy. www.yahoo.com/news/florida-suspect-punches-hotel-owner-205553539.html

The greatness of the UN:
37 countries — including Saudi Arabia, Syria, and North Korea — have written a letter backing China's detention of 1.5 million Uighur Muslims in Xinjiang. The pro-China letter, signed by ambassadors to the UN on Friday, said China has made "remarkable achievements in the field of human rights." It's a rebuttal to a landmark statement from 22 members of the UN Human Rights Council, which called on China to stop imprisoning the minority. The UN signatories had demanded China "refrain from the arbitrary detention and restrictions on freedom of movement of Uighurs." Beijing claims Uighurs are a threat to national security, and has detained up to 1.5 million of them in prison-like camps where people are reportedly tortured. Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories. 37 countries have signed a letter backing China's treatment of Uighurs in the Xinjiang region, days after 22 UN nations demanded China stop detaining the Muslim minority.
Signatories of the letter include Saudi Arabia, Syria, North Korea, and Russia. The letter said China has made "remarkable achievements in the field of human rights," state-news outlet Xinhua reported.
"Faced with the grave challenge of terrorism and extremism, China has undertaken a series of counter-terrorism and de-radicalization measures in Xinjiang, including setting up vocational education and training centers," the letter said.
Many of the countries who signed the letter have been accused of committing human rights abuses themselves.

F U Twitter:
A senior Twitter manager who has called for jailing and impeaching President Trump and slammed the White House social media chief with four-letter slurs is raising concerns that the platform isn’t serious about policing hate posts.
Twitter Senior Engineering Manager Ian Brown’s tweets have assailed Trump, White House social media chief Dan Scavino Jr., top aide Stephen Miller, GOP lawmakers including Sen. Rand Paul, and supporters like Turning Point USA chief Charlie Kirk.
In a recent tweet he suggested that restaurant workers were tampering with Eric Trump’s food, after the president’s son said he was spit on at a Chicago eatery. “If @erictrump is upset about getting spit on by a restaurant employee, I have some bad news about the food and drinks he’s being served,” Brown tweeted June 26.

This is not fake news. This part of an oath he made to his wife. The reporter wanted to follow him for a day on the campaign trail and he said fine as long as you bring a male employee. Because the woman is a reporter she is likely strongly biased against any conservative candidate. He is being very smart here. As an FYI I don’t have meetings one on one with female employees with the door closed in my office. I have seen he said she said ruin more than one career. Look at what the DNC was willing to do to the judge based on zero evidence. Based on that partisan hack job I don’t blame any republican lawmaker for doing doing this. When I coached sports I had a two deep rule that said I won’t be the only adult on the field with the kids. Some other non or dad had to step up or no practice would be run. Now the Boy Scouts require this as does most leagues. Sign of the times. So, the two deep rule (which is something I support) would be good if it was left at that. This politician instead gives the message he will only be seen with men and not allow women to do the job they are paid for. It’s just as easy to photograph these two men from the right angle at the right moment to make it appear an extramarital homosexual relationship is occurring. He wasn’t saying “send two reporters,” he said “send a man.” That is disgusting. Obviously, that politician must be homosexual if he only wants to associate with men. TRO

“So interesting to see ‘Progressive’ Democrat Congresswomen, who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world (if they even have a functioning government at all), now loudly……….and viciously telling the people of the United States, the greatest and most powerful Nation on earth, how our government is to be run,” Trump wrote.
Only Omar was born outside the United States, and all four were elected to the House of Representatives, where their job is literally to govern this country.
“Why don’t they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came. Then come back and show us how……..it is done. These places need your help badly, you can’t leave fast enough. I’m sure that Nancy Pelosi would be very happy to quickly work out free travel arrangements!” Trump wrote.

This is CNN:
The self-proclaimed Antifa militant who was killed Saturday by Washington state police as he attacked a local Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center was seen in a recent CNN program that critics say glorified a radical, left-wing movement.
Willem Van Spronsen, 69, sent a manifesto to friends the day before the assault in which he wrote, "I am Antifa," and now he is lionized by members of the leftwing group as a "martyr."
He also appears to have been part of a May 5 episode of CNN’s “United Shades of America” with W. Kamau Bell. The heavily promoted CNN show featured Bell explaining the “Redneck Revolt,” which he identified as gun-toting liberals who defend the Second Amendment and seek to battle the “alt-right” and neo-Nazis.
Bell called them “good guys,” going to a gun range with members and even questioning why “more white people” don’t share their viewpoints.
One of the men featured on the CNN special appears to be Van Spronsen -- who was armed with a rifle and incendiary devices when he launched his assault on the Northwest Detention Center in Tacoma around 4 a.m. Saturday, according to the Tacoma Police Department.

And the week would not be complete without yet another hard left attempt to call Trump Hitler:
Author Stephen King took to Twitter Sunday to denounce President Donald Trump, without naming the White House resident.
"First, you stoke hatred and fear of minorities," wrote King. "Then you round them up and put them in camps.
"Next, you send out raiding parties to get those who have been driven into hiding," he continued. "The armbands come next right?"
Although King did not elaborate on the type of armband he was referring to, the most notable instance of this type of government marker forcing people were the Nazis who forced Jewish people to wear badges during the Holocaust.

60% of managers who are men are uncomfortable participating in a common work activity with a woman, such as mentoring, working alone, or socializing together.1 Senior-level men are now far more hesitant to spend time with junior women than junior men across a range of basic work activities such as 1-on-1 meetings, travel, and work dinners.2

Should have just shot this waste of a human life:
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Virginia – James Alex Fields Jr., a neo-Nazi who rammed his car into counterprotesters of a “Unite the Right” rally in 2017, leaving one dead and dozens injured, was sentenced to life in prison plus 419 years in state court Monday.
Judge Richard Moore upheld a Virginia jury's recommended sentence from December. He also imposed a fine of $480,000.
Moore said he’d never been involved in a case, as an attorney or a judge, in which so many people were injured at one time by one person.
“Today’s verdict is based on what you did,” Moore told Fields. “It was not a spur of the moment action.”
The death penalty was off the table under the terms of a plea deal reached in March on his conviction for federal hate crimes.
Fields, 22, was convicted of the murder of Heather Heyer in December.
During Monday's session, victims made impact statements. Emotions ran high, and several victims sobbed and dabbed tears away with tissues. Star Peterson, who was injured in the attack, began her statement by addressing Fields.
"Hello, scum,” she said. “You look like a coward now that you’re not behind the wheel of a car.”

Nancy Pelosi is smart enough to know this and I would not be surprised is she leaked it. The May survey was shared with Axios "on the condition that it not be named, because the group has to work with all parts of the party," the site wrote. The partisan poll's methodology and the questions it asked were not made public, provoking criticism from some progressive pollsters and others. Axios wrote that many of the surveyed voters supported Trump in 2016 and live in purple districts. Some progressives argued that the Democratic group's move marked the latest attack on the left wing of the party. "It's infuriating and truly bizarre that Democratic leaders and consultants released anti-AOC and anti-Ilhan polls to the press **under the condition of anonymity** this morning," Waleed Shahid, the communications director for Justice Democrats, tweeted on Sunday. An anonymous Democratic group leaked an internal poll to Axios on Sunday that shows "swing voters" deeply dislike prominent progressive lawmakers, deepening a public rift within the party. The poll found that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had a 22% approval rating and Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota had a 9% approval rating among 1,003 "likely general-election voters who are white and have two years or less of college education" and knew of the two outspoken lawmakers. "If all voters hear about is AOC, it could put the [House] majority at risk," a Democrat involved in the 2020 congressional races told Axios. "She's getting all the news and defining everyone else's races." Some pollsters criticized the poll for looking at a small slice of the voting public that is disinclined to approve of the left. The poll's methodology and the questions it asked were not made public. Progressives decried the Democratic group's move as an attack on the left wing of the party. The survey also found low approval numbers for socialism — 18% — and majority approval — 56% — for capitalism. Ocasio-Cortez is a self-described democratic socialist and a member of the Democratic Socialists of America. The poll was conducted in May, before House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and four progressives, including Ocasio-Cortez and Omar, exchanged a series of public attacks. Fear not hard left, the Huffing Post will give you all the reasons to ignore this: www.yahoo.com/news/axios-alexandria-ocasio-cortez-poll-215718719.htmlI for one very much hope they do ignore the middle of the country yet again.

"Who knew?"
That's the reaction from conservative commentator Michael Knowles after a Dutch professor wrote a Washington Post column criticizing Disney's classic "The Lion King" as both fascist and racist.
Conservatives, moderates and some Democrats have been painted as fascistic, and now animated children's tales have joined their ranks, Knowles asserted Friday on "The Story."
"I'm actually just so pleased that for the last three years that every American slightly to the right of Hillary Clinton has been called a fascist -- and now we're in the same company as a beloved Disney cartoon character," he said.
"This was the stupidest article I've ever read in the Washington Post."
In the article, Utrecht University media studies professor Dan Hassler-Forest argues that the "nostalgic"-feeling Circle of Life scene is "a painful reminder of the film’s ideological agenda: It introduces us to a society where the weak have learned to worship at the feet of the strong."
"'The Lion King' offers us fascist ideology writ large, and there is no obvious way out for the remake. ... With the lions standing in for the ruling class, and the “good” herbivores embodying society’s decent, law-abiding citizens, the hyenas transparently represent the black, brown and disabled bodies that are forcefully excluded from this hierarchical society," Hassler-Forest wrote.
In his response, Knowles said the professor's claims are an example of the problems he sees on college campuses.
"The trouble is this was written by a professor, and that tells you all you need to know about higher education," he said.
"Everything they don't like is Hitlerian. ... Kingdoms are fascistic," he continued, adding the latter conclusion must be "news to" the U.K.'s Queen Elizabeth II.
Knowles said he sees "The Lion King" as a charming tale based on themes in "Hamlet" and the Old Testament books of Genesis and Exodus.

The so called community: A New York City man wanted for knocking out a 73-year-old homeless woman’s teeth and trying to rape her last week was arrested in Lower Manhattan on Sunday, police said. Bronx resident Clarence Bradley, 23, approached the woman around 12:45 a.m. in Lower Manhattan on July 7, police said. When Bradley demanded sex from the woman, she responded: “I could be your grandma,” according to police. Bradley punched, knocking out teeth and fracturing an eye socket as he tried to rape her, police said. He then allegedly grabbed her purse, which contained $20 and fled the scene.
