- The Washington Times

Tulsa, Oklahoma, in the lead-up to President Trump's rally, has declared a "civil emergency" due to fears of "extremely violent" protesters taking to the streets, bringing all their coronavirus-ey germs and stuff with them.

Civil war looms, statistics and survey say

- The Washington Times

Almost a third of U.S. voters believe a civil war is on its way -- a bleak commentary on the growing tensions around the country due to coronavirus shutdowns and police policies that have manifested in destruction and defacement of historical monuments and memorials, anarchist takeovers of city streets and riotous uprisings.

Trump haters stupidly seize on #RampGate as next drum to beat

- The Washington Times

The left wants to harp on President Donald Trump's physical fitness? Not Joe Biden's? Not Joe Biden in his basement, propped and steadied by God knows how many helpful hands beyond the camera lens as he stumbles and bumbles through one question after another? The left embarrasses itself.

Seattle's 'autonomous zone' is 'Mad Max' movie mayhem come alive

- The Washington Times

In the late 1970s, a series of action movies starring Mel Gibson showed what life in Australia would be like when the inmates, so to speak, take over the asylum and societal standards of behavior utterly collapse, and motorcycle gang members with zero moral bearings are unleashed on the public. That's Seattle, circa 2020.

God's winnowing of America

- The Washington Times

Sane people are surveying America and wondering, what's happened to this country? Call this God's winnowing of America -- a time when He takes a look at His people, decides He doesn't like what He sees and allows for a time of great testing to separate the good from evil, the worthwhile from worthless, the usable from unusable.

Militarizing police was a mistake

- The Washington Times

Peer past the madness of Antifa thuggery and all the bricks being thrown through storefront windows right now and the fact is police have needed reform for some time. Even from a very pro-police, pro-law and order perspective, the fact is: Police have most definitely needed reform.

George Floyd doesn't a 'systemic racism' make

- The Washington Times

George Floyd, by video accounts, died a horrific, even murderously minded death at the hands of an uncaring police officer who locked his black victim against the pavement for several painful minutes, knee on neck, as the life seeped from his body. But that doesn't mean all police hate blacks.

Drew Brees takes patriotic, righteous -- lonely -- stand for America

- The Washington Times

Drew Brees needs support. It's the last chance to save a U.S. pastime from devolving into a pot of anti-American vitriol where police are painted as enemies, the country is painted as inherently racist, the Constitution is pounded as unjust, and the game -- remember the game? -- is just another platform to air political grievances.
