Black Lives Matter Attempts to Topple Andrew Jackson Statue near White House

Rioters attempted to topple a statue of Andrew Jackson in Lafayette Park near the White House on Monday evening in Washington, DC, before being dispersed by police.

The statue depicts Jackson in uniform astride a horse at the Battle of New Orleans in 1815, one of the most important battles of the War of 1812.

In the battle, American defenders under Jackson’s command routed British invaders. Though the battle technically took place after the war had ended — thanks to the slow communications of the era — it firmly established American military prowess and played a role in burnishing Jackson’s credentials as a military leader.

On Monday, demonstrators broke through a fence around the statue and placed ropes around the statue, which they attempted to tear down.

They shouted: “This is what democracy looks like!”; “No justice, no peace!”; and “Hands up, don’t shoot!”

The latter is a reference to the shooting death of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, in 2014. Brown was killed while charging a police officer whose gun he had attempted to take, but activists claimed falsely that he had been shot in the back with his hands raised in surrender. The event launched the Black Lives Matter movement.

U.S. Park Police deployed pepper spray to disperse the crowd. Some of the rioters appeared armed.

Some of the rioters wore white helmets with red crosses and administered first aid to those who had been sprayed.

Nearby, the St. John’s Episcopal Church, damaged in a fire set by rioters on May 31, was vandalized:

On June 1, President Trump walked through Lafayette Square after it had been cleared of protesters and stood in front of the damaged church, holding a Bible aloft.

Mayor Muriel Bowser subsequently declared the plaza in front of the park Black Lives Matter Plaza, and allowed protesters to paint “BLACK LIVES MATTER” on the street. Some later added “DEFUND THE POLICE.”

Separately, police removed tents near Black Lives Matter that were set up Monday as an attempt to establish a “Black House Autonomous Zone,” or “BHAZ,” named after the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (CHAZ) in Seattle.

The CHAZ is now known as the Capitol Hill Occupied Protest (CHOP).

Patriot Groups Announce They Stand Ready to To Retake CHOP Zone In Seattle if Mayor Does Not Act

On Monday night the Seattle Police Department announced on Twitter that they will retake control of the police precinct overrun by Antifa domestic terrorists and their allies in the violent BLM mob.

This was after the shootings this weekend in the lawless CHOP zone.

Tonight The Gateway Pundit learned that a host ofconservative groups and possible hundreds of activists were planning to descend on the hellhole and restore order.

Bikers for Trump – Boots On The Ground, Proud Boys, and several other patriot groups have been coordinating a march on CHOP next month, according to Proud Boys Chairman Enrique Tarrio.

The former congressional candidate said that early estimates showed over a thousand people were prepared to retake the CHOP zone, spread across a half-dozen or more groups.

“We informed Seattle Police Department that we were prepared to clear out the domestic terrorists peacefully and remove debris. We have seen rapes, assaults, and murderous shootings plague this so called “carnival like atmosphere” that was described as a “summer of love” by the Mayor of Seattle. My family did not escape Fidel Castro’s brutal regime to sit idly by while we watch these domestic terrorists create a Marxist maelstrom of depravity in the Pacific Northwest and beyond.”

The planned march on the CHOP zone was set for July 18th. Tarrio and others we spoke to told us that if the Seattle Police does not make good on their promise to retake the precinct and restore order, that he will make sure.

Cotton: Feds Have to Impose Legal Consequences for Statue Destruction if Localities Won’t

On Monday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “The Story,” Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) called on the federal government to take legal action on the destruction and vandalism of statues and memorials in various cities if state and local governments fail to do so.

Cotton said, “In some cases, as you saw in Washington, D.C., the police were standing by and watching. One can only assume that the left-wing mayors and governors of some of these cities and states have directed the authorities not to intervene. That is almost the very definition of mob violence.”

Cotton further stated, “It’s unfortunate that so many of the local authorities are not just standing idly by, letting mob rule reign in the streets, but also, there’s no legal consequences after the fact, for the destruction of public or private property. So, if the local authorities are not going to protect our citizens, then the federal government has a job to do, as I said in my letter to Attorney General Barr today.”

He added, “There are federal laws that can cover some of these circumstances, like the riot act or the Veterans Memorial Preservation Act, there are other statutes that may apply to other cases as well. The last thing we can tolerate in this country is mob rule.”

Canadian College Exec Apologizes, Resigns After 'Liking' Conservative Tweets

The Chair of the University of British Columbia Board of Governors has resigned after a college activist group was triggered by several tweets he "liked."

Michael Korenberg was targeted for cancellation by pro-antifa campus activist group, UBC Students Against Bigotry, after he liked tweets from Ann Coulter, Charlie Kirk and Dinesh D'Souza - as well as tweets wishing President Trump a happy birthday, according to True North

One of the 'liked' tweets was critical of Black Lives Matter - drawing condemnation from far-left media outlets, as well as UBC staff such as professor Annette Henry, who said Korenberg's Twitter activity has reflected a "white supremacist capitalist [hetero]patriarchy" worldview, adding that "It’s unfortunate that we have people in such positions of authority at UBC."

According to Henry, UBC 'still keeps hiring white people where we have the opportunity not to.'

UBS professor Jennifer Berdahl called on Korenberg to resign.

And now, he has, accompanied by a lengthy apology.

"Over the past two weeks some articles/statements that I ‘liked’ on Twitter supported regressive voices and took aim at thousands of brave individuals who are standing up against racism, discrimination and hatred," wrote Korenberg in a Saturday tweet containing a typed statement.

"I accept that in liking these social media posts, I damaged what I support and that I hurt people. I wholeheartedly apologize to them, particularly to the students, faculty and staff of UBC…I have stepped down because it is the right thing to do."

FCC Orders Mexican Radio Station to Halt Broadcasting of Chinese Programs to US

The Federal Communications Commission said in a press release that it has ordered a Mexican radio station to stop broadcasting Chinese programs to the United States.

"The FCC’s International Bureau today dismissed an application to deliver Mandarin Chinese programming from a studio located in Irwindale, California to XEWW-AM in Mexico for rebroadcast back into the United States", the release said on Monday. "The parties have 48 hours to cease broadcast operations related to this application".

According to the agency, GLR Southern California and H&H Group USA failed to disclose in their permit application that Phoenix Radio is a key participant.

The release added that the Chinese programming is produced by Phoenix Radio, which is partially owned by two entities with the Chinese government.

The FCC said it could reconsider its decision to grant a permit for the programming if a revised application is filed that includes Phoenix Radio.

On Monday, the United States Department designated another four Chinese media organizations as foreign missions in an attempt to force them to adhere to new requirements. The designated news organizations include China Central Television, China News Service, the People’s Daily, and the Global Times.

Press Evacuated From White House Amid Riot Breaking Out in DC

The press has been evacuated from the White House as a criminal mob of rioters are clashing with police outside.

Tucker Carlson reported that it is highly unusual for the press to be evacuated from the briefing room

Murals and Stained Glass Windows of "White Jesus and his European Mother"

The mob is attempting to set up a “Black House Autonomous Zone” near the White House, similar to the CHAZ/CHOP lawless zone in Seattle. The Seattle zone has been plagued with theft, drugs, violence, and even murder in recent days.

In DC, the mob also attempted to tear down the iconic statue of Andrew Jackson outside the White House and once again vandalized the historic St. John’s Church that they had lit ablaze just weeks ago.

CCP Virus Is Losing Virulence, May Vanish Without Need for Vaccine: Italian Doctor

An Italian infectious disease expert said that the CCP virus is losing its virulence and could disappear on its own without needing a vaccine.

Professor Matteo Bassetti, head of the infectious diseases clinic at the Policlinico San Martino hospital in Italy, said that the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, commonly known as novel coronavirus, is losing its ability to infect people and the mortality rate is decreasing.

“The clinical impression I have is that the virus is changing in severity,” Bassetti told The Telegraph, adding that in March and early April, the patterns of virulence were very different from what they are now.

“Now, in the past four weeks, the picture has completely changed in terms of patterns. There could be a lower viral load in the respiratory tract, probably due to a genetic mutation in the virus which has not yet been demonstrated scientifically. Also, we are now more aware of the disease and able to manage it,” he said.

Bassetti said the virus has undergone mutation and its “viral load” has decreased. He is of the opinion that the virus may never return and the world may not need a vaccine.

Last week, doctors at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) said that the virus has been losing its severity and people aren’t getting as sick as they were before.
