While massive protests continue to rage across the country (and beyond) in the name of George Floyd, Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors admitted during a Friday night interview with CNN that "our goal is to get Trump out."
Cullors, who described BLM organizers in 2015 as "trained Marxists," compared Trump to Hitler after refusing to meet with him, and referred to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) as the Gestapo, told CNN's Jake Tapper (via Breitbart's Josh Caplan):

It's about time!
PLANO, TX—When ballparks finally open again, those standing for the traditional seventh-inning stretch will be singing some different lyrics to "Take Me Out to the Ballgame."
After over 100 years of selling its caramel popcorn snack under the name Cracker Jack, Frito-Lay announced today that it would be rebranded as the less offensive "Caucasian Jack."
"We are very sorry to all the crack---er, I mean, Caucasians we have hurt over the years," said a spokesperson. "Cracker is an offensive stereotype, and we must make sure that all foods and snack products are culturally sensitive. Think about all the white people who have had to suffer in silence as tens of thousands of baseball fans sang out the hurtful lyrics 'Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jacks.'"
"No more. The bigotry stops today."
The move was applauded by hurt white people, though they are still criticizing Frito-Lay for how pale and pasty-white the Cracker Jack guy is on the logo.

Taxation Without Protection |

Tucker Carlson apparently has stated that “Taxation without protection is theft”. This proposition is a logical deduction from Hobbes’s theory that the prime function of the state and the reason for its existence is the safety of the citizens embraced by the social contract.
Hobbes’s theory is well-formed, comprising a powerful set of premises and deductions as to why states exist. Indeed, leaders of states often say plainly that the security of their country and its people is their foremost concern, even if their actions create the opposite condition. Many citizens, implicitly accepting the Hobbes view, expect the state’s protection.
Hobbes also contemplated the dissolution of a state and a return to a state of nature when the sovereign’s actions went directly against the protection it was supposed to be providing. (1) In such a case, what Carlson said applies, and it is an application of Hobbes’s theory. If there is no protection delivered by the state and if it’s supplanted by conditions that actually threaten the people supposedly being protected, then the taxes are not only to no beneficial effect but also are actively destructive. In this case, one of taxation without protection, the taxes are theft, assuming that there are no other compensating benefits of the state.
Carlson’s statement is directed squarely at all those government officials who misconceive their offices, powers and responsibilities by not providing the protection against rioters, vandals, insurrectionists, looters and other assorted criminals that taxpayers have a right to expect, under the Hobbesian theory. Their failures turn the taxes they have collected largely into theft.
(1) “The obligation of subjects to the sovereign is understood to last as long, and no longer, than the power lasteth by which he is able to protect them” (Leviathan XXI, 144). Cited in Quentin P. Taylor “Leviathan Bound; or the Re-education of Thomas Hobbes”, which appears in Hobbes Studies 22 (2009) 123–143.
Taylor explains. “A sovereign who cannot protect the life, liberty, and property of his subjects is simply not a sovereign. This was the principal justification given by the American colonists, who in repudiating the authority of King and Parliament, claimed to have returned to a ‘state of nature.'” Michael Rozeff

I'm thinking it won't be long before the National Anthem is banned at sporting events. BLM will demand that everyone kneel if it continues as a tradition. What comes next, once the knuckleheads figure out that slavery started in America under the Stars & Stripes there will be no more flying that racist rag - anywhere!

From one cartoonish show to another.
Quote:But that gentle explanation proved immensely triggering for [i]Fox News[/i] host Tucker Carlson, a man who makes his living by feigning shock and horror, sometimes over an innocuous TikTok video, and now, regarding [i]Sesame Street[/i].
Carlson deployed his trademark “serious man” frown, a blend of bewilderment and crippling migraine, embarking on an unhinged rant regarding the supposedly insidious message being delivered by Elmo, the hand puppet.
