He was held in the hold for only 3 minutes. When the hold was released he was moving and breathing as seen in the video. 3 other men helped restrain him. One was black.

A thorough list. For you partyers tomorrow, add Corona and Modelo as associates.
Hilarious that now the multiple 30 packs for BBQ weekenders are gone, the courted group who bought a six-pack are walking from Budwokester because they bailed on the qwerty+ people.

They have a choice. Apologize and bear the wrath of the commies and start a turn around or continue to act mealy mouth watching their base erode. They've put themselves in a position where they can't please both. Not my problem.
[Townhall] The old cultural imperialism was supposedly greedy corporatism like Disneyland, McDonald's, and Starbucks sprouting up worldwide to supplant local competitors.
But these businesses spread because they appealed to free-will consumer demand abroad. They were not imposed top down.
The U.S. presence in Afghanistan collapsed in August 2021 amid the greatest American military humiliation in modern history. A billion-dollar new embassy was abandoned. Hundreds of millions of dollars' worth of new infrastructure at the huge Bagram Airbase was dumped.
We still do not know how many billions of dollars of sophisticated new weapons were left to the Taliban and now are making their way through global terrorists' marts.
Yet, in our skedaddle, the LGBTQ flag still flew high from our new Kabul embassy. A George Floyd mural was prominent on city streets.
And gender studies programs - to the tune of $787 million in American subsidies - were showcased at Kabul University, in one of the most conservative Islamic countries in the world.
Rainbow flags and Black Lives Matter banners have hung from our embassy in South Korea.
Such partisan cultural activism is a diplomatic first.
The woke Left has now weaponized the country's diplomatic missions abroad to advance highly partisan and controversial agendas that can offend their hosts, and do not represent the majority of American voters at home.
American foreign policy toward other nations seems now to hinge on their positions on transgender people, LGBTQ promotion, abortion, climate change, and an array of woke issues from using multiple pronouns on passports to showcasing transgender ambassadors.
The Biden Administration in January 2022 stopped the EastMed pipeline. That joint effort of our allies Cyprus, Greece, and Israel sought to bring much needed clean-burning Mediterranean natural gas to southern Europe.
Apparently, our diplomats felt it violated our own New Green Deal orthodoxies. So we imperialists interfered to destroy a vital project of our closest allies.
The White House manifesto called the "National Strategy on Gender Equity and Equality" offers a blueprint for how to massage nations abroad to accept our values that are increasingly at odds with much of the world's.
Do Americans really believe that embracing drag-queen shows at military bases, abortion to the moment of birth, transgender men competing in women's sports, and the promised effort to ban the internal combustion engine are effective ways to ensure good relations with the United States?
No wonder the Biden Administration's new cultural imperialism is proving disastrous for a variety of reasons.
One, these imperialistic and chauvinistic agendas are pushed abroad at the very time the respect for the U.S. military is at an all-time low. It was humiliated in Afghanistan. It is now unable to recruit sufficient qualified soldiers. Its stocks of critical weapons are depleted.
The Pentagon leadership of Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Joint Chiefs Chairman Mark Milley, along with Joe Biden, do not radiate competence.
But they do exude woke pieties.
While we offend Middle East oil exporters and Central Europeans, China allies with Russia and Iran. India and Turkey triangulate away from the United States. Sanctimonious hectoring while appearing weak is a bad combination.
Two, these warped standards are incoherent. Is an abortion-on-demand, totalitarian China therefore an ally? How could we damn supposedly non-woke Saudi Arabia as we begged it to pump more of its non-green oil before the 2022 midterms?
Some of our most loyal allies are in Eastern Europe - Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic, and Romania. These countries have experienced traumatic histories on the front lines against Islamic Ottoman expansionism, czarist and Soviet aggression, and German Nazi bullying and invasion.
They are democratic and pro-American. Yet they are now targeted by our woke imperialists because they remain steadfast as the most religious and traditional of our European allies.
Yet these nations would be more likely to dispatch credible forces for NATO's defense than many of our left-wing, woke, and militarily less capable Western European nations.
Three, most of the 7.9 billion people in the world are not woke. They are aspiring to obtain a modicum of the luxury and affluence taken for granted in America.
The rest of the planet worries whether it will have enough food, energy, security, and shelter to live one more day. For most, the incessant, woke virtue-signaling from affluent Americans comes across as the whiny bullying of pampered, self-righteous - and increasingly neurotic - imperialists.
Four, traditionally the party that controls the State Department does not politically weaponize its embassies with wedge issues that have not won majority support among Americans.
Such abject politicalization rattles and alienates foreign nations. They do not want to be drawn into the American Left's internal propaganda efforts that they know are bitterly controversial inside the United States.
How odd that those on the Left who in the past decried "American imperialism" are now proving the greatest imperialists of all.

We, or at least many of us have known for years that the State Department and Diplomatic Service were a den of viperous perverts slithering in and out of Washington and Western capitals.
Uni-party enablers of a similar ilk Kabuki through the halls of congress and Davos, turning their noses up at the truth seekers like Trump, Comer, Jordon, and Greene.
Hansen's article is no revelation but rather a confirmation. Yes, the city is indeed a swamp.
Navy SEAL Robert O'Neill who took part in the mission to kill Osama Bin Laden is outraged over the U.S. Navy using a drag queen for a recruitment program
'I can't believe I fought for this bulls**t,' O'Neill tweeted on Wednesday
The vet was referencing the Navy's use of Yeoman 2nd Class Joshua Kelley, a drag queen who announced in November an ambassadorship with the Navy
Kelley was tasked with highlighting her journey from performing on board beginning in 2018 and growing to become an 'advocate' for those who 'were oppressed for years in the service.'
A Navy spokesman told DailyMail.com the digital ambassador program was a pilot that ended in March 2023.
The program Kelley was part of ran from October 2022 to March 2023 and was designed to 'explore the digital environment to reach a wide range of potential candidates' for military recruitment.
After O'Neill sent out his tweet Wednesday afternoon, others chimed in to share in O'Neill's outrage over the ambassadorship.
His tweet quickly gained 1.1 million views and thousands of likes and retweets.

You did it for your fellow Americans, who are not among the current ruling caste.
There is a lot of Why The Fuck Then? going on, with this and the pullout etc, and ultimately the answer comes back to this. But it seems the respect is gone.
Hey DM, why are you not using his preferred name Harpy Daniels in the headlines? Is it because its fucking silly like all these pretend names are?

Yup, and what you need to do for promotion to leadership. IIUC, Ru Paul was the vessel which turned drag from a performance to kink by bridging the gap as glam. Don't get me wrong, he was used, but he was the link. The gain-of-function, if you will. Its all a very coordinated effort.
This Harpy dude is doing kink, and the attempt is to turn kink into fashion.
Gawddammit I remember when Hunger Games was Logan's Run for girls, and not a goal.
[Lewrockwell.com]The single dumbest thing the US-centralized empire asks us to believe is that the military encirclement of its top two geopolitical rivals is a defensive action, rather than an act of extreme aggression.
We’re asked to believe many extremely stupid narratives by the manipulators who rule over us, but I really think this one might take the cake. The idea that the US militarily encircling Russia and China is an act of defense rather than aggression is so in-your-face transparently idiotic that anyone who thinks critically enough about it will immediately dismiss it for the foam-brained nonsense that it is, yet it’s the mainstream narrative in the western world, and millions of people accept it as true. Because that’s the power of US propaganda.
It gets more and more absurd the more you think about it. Their argument is basically, "No no you don’t understand, the US has been hurriedly surrounding its primary geopolitical competitors with war machinery because it wants to prevent them from doing something aggressive." They’re like, "We can’t just have nations exerting military aggression willy nilly, that’s why we needed to move all this war machinery to the other side of the planet onto the borders of our primary strategic rivals."
Can you think of anything more insane than that? Than all of the most powerful and influential figures in politics, government and media simultaneously claiming that a nation amassing heavily-armed proxy forces on the borders of their enemies is something that should be regarded as an action designed to prevent aggression, rather than an incendiary act of extreme aggression in and of itself?
In its attempts to propagandize Australians into consenting to war with China, Sky News Australia accidentally does the "look how close they put their country to our military bases" meme.pic.twitter.com/1lf2b4p7pH

I recently had someone tell me that the US has every right to expand its immense military presence near China, and to illustrate their point they said that if China set up a base in Mexico the US would have no business telling them not to. But that argument actually illustrates my point, not theirs: only the most propaganda-addled of minds would believe that the US would allow China to set up a military base in Mexico for even one second. There’d be kinetic warfare long before the foundations were even poured.
What this undeniably means is that the US is the aggressor in these conflicts. It was the aggressor when it expanded NATO and began turning Ukraine into a de facto NATO member, and it is the aggressor as it accelerates its encirclement of China and prepares to open the floodgates of weapons into Taiwan. If it is doing things on the borders of its geopolitical rivals that it would never permit those rivals to do to it, then it is the aggressor, and anything its rivals do is a defensive response to those aggressions.
This is how the US-centralized empire always acts. It continually attacks, starves and menaces nations which disobey the decrees it issues in its self-appointed role as the leader of the so-called "rules-based international order", then as soon as its aggressions receive the slightest bit of pushback its spinmeisters feign Bambi-eyed innocence and pretend they’re just passive witnesses to unprovoked aggression by the disobedient nations.
But the empire is not passive, it is not innocent, and it is primarily responsible for the extremely dangerous current and emerging conflicts we are seeing on the world stage. The US empire is imperiling us all with its last-ditch frantic scramble to secure unipolar planetary hegemony before multipolarity takes over, engaging in freakishly aggressive actions on the borders of the nuclear-armed nations who challenge its power.
And I just think that’s worth reiterating from time to time. If we don’t keep reminding ourselves what’s true, these bastards will drive us all nuts.

I don't believe the Russians are capable of any type of aggression that would threaten us or any of our allies. Therefore, picking a fight with them over Ukraine is madness.
But China is a threat. They bribe our politicians. They send fentanyl. They were responsible for covid. They threaten our friends and allies like Japan, Philippines, South Korea, Taiwan, India, etc. Our politicians have enabled them with favorable trade deals that have hollowed out our own manufacturing capabilities. Using the money they get from this trade, they exert undue influence on our greedy corporate bosses and politicians.
Russia could have been our ally in the war on terror but Biden(Obama) wants Sevastopol...probably wants Kamchatka too.
But they will let China have Taiwan. And then, with our Navy more concerned about pronouns, where will the Chinese stop?

The Chinese felt free to send surveillance balloons across the US mainland and it was successful on their part. Did we get any kind of compromise from their end on the deal?
General Flynn is suing the Department of Justice, the FBI, and the US government for $50 million, citing malicious prosecution and gross abuse of power. The case against Flynn was dropped by the DOJ but was pursued by Judge Emmet Sullivan for months. Flynn was eventually pardoned by President Trump.
[UncoverDC] The USG doesn’t want the General Michael Flynn case to be heard in Florida. The government has filed a 22-page motion to change the venue to DC.
Just my personal opinion, this is a long shot motion, and I really think they know it. They are forced to concede he has the absolute standing to bring this in the “place where he resides” but are about to use several pages to talk about why that should be ignored because everything *happened* in DC.
The government argues that the Florida court doesn’t have subpoena power over the “non-party witnesses;” People like Comey, Strzok, etc., and therefore if the court goes to trial, it would be much harder to get them to testify as witnesses. It would also be more convenient for THEM if they didn’t have to travel… Just wait.
[BEE] QUANTICO, VA — According to anonymous sources, the trans activist manifesto of the Nashville mass shooter has been put in a top-secret crate in a top-secret warehouse for safekeeping, right next to the motive for the Vegas shooting, the Epstein client list, and the Ark of the Covenant.
"Dangerous material like this cannot be allowed to fall into the hands of the American public, as it threatens to shed light on what drove this trans activist," said FBI Director Christopher Wray in a memo, which his office later leaked to the press. "It is paramount to our national security efforts that we keep secret any and all information that could call our approved narrative into question."
The Nashville police department had cooperated with transferring the manifesto into the FBI's possession "for safekeeping," citing their work as "a necessary bulwark against harrowing possible outcomes including but not limited to citizens leaving the Democrat Party."
At publishing time, the FBI announced plans to transport the manifesto to a different secure location to make space in the warehouse for crates of ballots for Biden's reelection.

"...a very specific agency inside government, the Dept of Justice Community Relations Service (DOJ-CRS)....This little-known, quasi legislatively authorized, Eric Holder weaponized, silo inside the justice system operates to control information that would be deemed ‘adverse to the peace and tranquility interests of the nation.’ In non-pretending terms the DOJ-CRS controls any information in the criminal justice system that doesn’t fit the agenda of the radical communists and left-wing activists within it."
[New American] Artificial Intelligence will be taking on more and more teacher duties, including teaching reading, as AI technology advances rapidly over the next 18 months, argued controversial Microsoft founder Bill Gates. In fact, the billionaire population-control zealot said AI would soon become "as good a tutor as any human could."
Speaking during a "digital learning conference" in San Diego last week, Gates outlined the path he believes the AI intrusion into education would take. "At first, we’ll be most stunned by how it helps with reading — being a reading research assistant — and giving you feedback on writing," he explained in his keynote talk at the ASU+GSV Summit.
"This should be a leveler," Gates continued, suggesting this would somehow "help" poorer parents and children as AI technology rapidly improves. "Because having access to a tutor is too expensive for most students — especially having that tutor adapt and remember everything that you’ve done and look across your entire body of work."
All of this will be happening in the near future. "If you just took the next 18 months, the AIs will come in as a teacher’s aide and give feedback on writing," he continued. "And then they will amp up what we’re able to do in math." And as if on cue, companies started publicly peddling AI tools for the classroom to "help" teachers.

leaving Teachers to "teach" affirming gender-bending and Racial Identity Aggrievement Hate.
I think Gates would have all that programmed into Microsoft's AI as well and that's the real danger.

Teaching as we grew up with disappears with Common Core replacing curriculum and electronics replacing books.
And I totally agree. Here the teachers, veteran teachers, were as new to the material as the children were. I remember teaching basic Algebra to my 2nd grader, FFS didn't even have our addition tables learned.
Did you see that Army PR clip bragging up the Common Core graduate who scored a 30 ASVAB? That is considered a success. A 30.

Mathematics has changed little in decades, for example the 100 year old Calculus book would work and a Random Number Generator could generate the homework. Many other subjects would only need minimal human input once the syllabus was written ...so, yes, use an AI.
Socializing the little monsters so they can turn from feral brats to proto-adults? Many teachers are unsuited to that and still "teach" in our current system.

There won't be one. There will be many choose from with different levels of difficulty and even ideology. The difference is that the students and parents will have a say in the choice.
