Two women were arrested Saturday afternoon for smearing black paint across the “Black Lives Matter” mural outside Trump Tower, with a city cop injured after he slipped while grabbing one of the suspects, police said.

The chaotic scene — the third attack by vandals targeting the Midtown street art in a week — began around 3 p.m. when a car carrying four women and 10 cans of paint arrived at the Fifth Ave. site, according to witness/street artist Nina Khan and a photo of the vehicle.

“We are taking our country back NOW!” a statement posted on the Facebook page of their At The Well Ministries reads.

In the statement they claim to have been treated like “royalty” by cops after their arrest.

“The police expressed their HIGH APPRECIATION for what Bevelyn and Edmee stood up for today,” the statement says. “They expressed their concerns and fears for their city. They are in fear for the sake of NYC and voiced that they need MORE people like them to help and stand up for what is RIGHT!”

Is this is considered a hate crime?   Just a thought.

During an interview that aired at the convention of the National Association of Black Journalists and National Association of Hispanic Journalists, NPR's Lulu Garcia-Navarro pressed the presumptive Democratic nominee if he would "re-engage" with Cuba as president, something she suggested would have an impact on Cuban-American voters in Florida.

"Yes, yes," Biden responded. "And by the way, what you all know, but most people don’t know, unlike the African American community, with notable exceptions, the Latino community is an incredibly diverse community with incredibly different attitudes about different things.”

He elaborated, "You go to Florida, you find a very different attitude about immigration in certain places than you do when you're in Arizona, so it's a very diverse community."

When words are many, transgression is not lacking,fbut whoever restrains his lips is prudent.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., had a bitter exchange with "PBS NewsHour" anchor Judy Woodruff Tuesday over the ongoing stalemate on Capitol Hill between lawmakers negotiating a so-called "Phase 4" coronavirus aid bill.

At one point in their interview, Woodruff asked Pelosi about the "flexibility" GOP lawmakers are showing in terms of allocating more money for state and local governments, as well as Republican arguments that "much of the money" allocated in the CARES Act "has not even been spent yet."

No, you aren't," Pelosi shot back. "The point is we have a bill that meets the needs of the American people. It's called the HEROES Act. They [Republicans] don't even want to do state and local and when they do, it's very meager and they want to revert money from before."

"The greatest danger for Black men in America is not a police officer, not somebody in a blue uniform, by any stretch of the imagination -- it doesn't even compare. The greatest danger for a Black man in America today is another Black man," said E.W Bishop, an African American minister and lawyer who identifies as a conservative, on his podcast in October 2019.

In his essay, "Challenges for Black People," economics professor Walter E. Williams, who is affiliated with George Mason University, also referenced "Black-on-Black crime," writing, "Black people need to have frank conversations among ourselves, no matter how uncomfortable and embarrassing the topics may be." Williams even suggests that Black people should patrol their own neighborhoods armed, and "ignore the liberal agenda."

And firebrand Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke told Fox News that Black people should be most afraid of "being on the street in any American ghetto where the Black-on-Black crime is a bigger threat and bigger problem in the community then the police use-of-force."

A look at the biographies of some of America's most prominent Black conservatives seems to show them typically to be older people. Historian and professor of history, race and public policy at Harvard Kennedy School, Khalil Gibran Muhammad said there is definitely a generational difference between Black people who use the phrase and ones who criticize it.

"Black people can also articulate racist ideas, and in the Trump era a lot more of them are," he said of some of those who self-identify as Black conservatives.

However, older Black people who use the term "Black-on-Black" crime are not necessarily conservative, he said.

In real-life, in recent weeks, some arrogant adults with the mentality of  clueless teenagers have carved out what they call the nation of CHOP – formerly, CHAZ. The world’s newest country began as a commune. 

But that was THEN; now, CHOP claims nearly seven square blocks in Seattle, Washington. What’s more: its website is almost as impressive as that of Bangledesh. CHOPites say that armed protesters are patrolling the area, and The Seattle TIMES reports that armed men and women are performing guard duty – some of them carrying AK-47s. 

Ironically, the inane demands of these troublemakers include outlawing the police. This cordoned-off area includes apartment buildings, stores, restaurants, and the boarded-up police station that Seattle’s Mayor ordered abandoned, following threats it would be torched, after CHOP’s honchos issued their demands. CHOP features a “No Cop Co-Op” which provides vegan pizza, veggie burgers, soy milk, and herbal teas, at no charge. 

But then, some homeless people devoured all of their food. Based on footage shown on YouTube, and video from news broadcasts, it appears that CHOP has no barber shops, or beauty salons. Native Americans from the Lakota and Yakima tribes in mid June visited this emerging nation, perhaps to advise CHOP’s leaders on how NOT to throw down against the U.S. government.

Visitors to CHOP walk past a [cardboard] sign which states: ‘YOU ARE NOW LEAVING THE USA’ – not that such signage is necessary. In a generous gift of what amounts to foreign aid, the city of Seattle provided CHOP with free dumpsters, garbage cans and portable toilets. 

On June 12, rappers with a hip-hop band called Marshall Law played in CHOP, performing what they said was music. During breaks, a CHOPite named Michael Taylor told reporters, “we’re trying to take our community back, so we can live without a massive police force …
