Attorney General William P. Barr joined President Trump today in a visit to Kenosha, Wisconsin, where the President announced $41 million in grant awards to the state of Wisconsin and local jurisdictions within the state to address a surge in community violence and ongoing civil unrest. Awards will support community-based crime-fighting initiatives, local victim service programs, and the hiring and training of law enforcement officers and prosecutors.
“Thanks to the efforts of federal law enforcement and the National Guard, working closely with our state and local partners, the streets of Kenosha have been restored from violent agitators who have abused their First Amendment rights to frighten citizens and fan the flames of disorder,” said Attorney General Barr. “As President Trump made abundantly clear today, this lawless behavior will not be allowed to stand and the federal government will provide the necessary resources to help state and local police officers who have worked hard to maintain peace and keep violence at bay. Today’s grant money will help to bolster community-based crime-fighting initiatives and provide much needed support to victims affected by the recent violence.”
President Trump and Attorney General Barr toured the city, meeting with local officials and community members to express their concern for those affected by the unrest. The President issued a stern warning to lawbreakers, saying that there would be no tolerance for violence and anarchy in this or any other city.
The grants announced today, from the Department’s Office of Justice Programs and Office of Community Oriented Policing Services, will support proven violence reduction efforts like Project Safe Neighborhoods, which enables federal, state and local agencies to coordinate enforcement activities in collaboration with community organizations. Grants will also help to hire police officers and prosecutors while allowing them to focus resources on the extraordinary public safety challenges their communities are facing. Funds will also support local organizations that provide services and support to victims affected by the recent violence and unrest.
Why should U.S. taxpayers in the other 49 states pay a thin dime to bail Wisconsin out of its self-created destruction?
WTF??? We are going to PAY them $41 million for “support proven violence reduction efforts like Project Safe Neighborhoods.”
The only “proven violence reduction” effort I can support is “Kill The Commies.”
And so the rest of America pays for the sins of the state’s leadership.
..........well, lol, the instant answer to your question is that TRump (ergo us) wants Wisconsin in the WIN column November 3..................
Maoists Burn Kenosha
By Trevor Loudon
August 30, 2020
The Epoch Times
The rioters who attacked police officers with Molotov cocktails and fireworks and torched numerous buildings in Kenosha, Wisconsin, for about a week included members of the same pro-China communist group that “sparked” the May riots in Minneapolis after the police-involved killing of George Floyd.
Maoist activists from the Freedom Road Socialist Organization (FRSO) can take most, if not all, of the credit for inciting the recent rioting in Kenosha. The town of 100,000 people has been torn apart, businesses and cars have been razed, multiple people have been arrested, and two people have died—yet no one seems to want to call out the real culprits.
FRSO is based in the Midwest. It has maintained a strong presence in Chicago and Minneapolis for decades. The subversive organization has expanded in recent years into Milwaukee and the smaller university towns of Oshkosh and Kenosha, where new cadre are recruited through campus branches of FRSO’s youth wing: New Students for a Democratic Society.
On Feb. 20, 2017, the day President Donald Trump was inaugurated, FRSO political secretary Steff Yorek declared to a crowd of Washington protesters: “We need to stay in the streets the entire four years opposing Trump and making the country ungovernable.”
In November 2019, FRSO convened a conference in Chicago to form a new nationwide front organization: the National Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression (NAARPR).
More accurately, it was a re-founding of an old Communist Party USA front of the 1970s of the same name. The original NAARPR was set up to free iconic communist Angela Davis, who was then under arrest for alleged complicity in the murder of a California judge. Davis was eventually acquitted of the murder charge in 1972, and she even came to Chicago to confer her blessing on the new organization.
Headed by FRSO Central Committee member Frank Chapman, the new NAARPR is clearly designed to confront police about alleged issues of racism and police brutality. Chapman told FightBack! News:
“Black and brown communities are over-patrolled and under-protected and must confront police harassment, racial profiling, torture and murder on a daily basis. This is not happening in just Chicago, New York City or Los Angeles; this happening throughout the nation.The NAARPR quickly established branches and alliances all over the country—all affiliated with FRSO or sympathetic communist groups.“We believe the enormity of the problem of police tyranny has created a mass demand for community control of the police. We believe this problem can best be confronted by a national movement organized by a refounding of the National Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression (NAARPR).”
It was the Minneapolis affiliate of the NAARPR—the Twin Cities Coalition 4 Justice 4 Jamar—headed by FRSO comrades Jess Sundin and Lorraine VanPelt that is credited with sparking the Minneapolis riots.
When protesters gathered in downtown Kenosha after the Aug. 23 police-involved shooting of Jacob Blake, three banners were clearly visible at the head of the several-hundred-strong crowd: the bright red FRSO banner, the green banner of the Milwaukee Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression, and the smaller black flag of New Students for a Democratic Society—probably the local University of Wisconsin—Parkside branch.
Just before the march, a young woman led the crowd in a chant of “long live the revolution” directly in front of the signature FRSO banner. FRSO Facebook pages (both Wisconsin and national) contain extensive coverage of the protests and riots—as does the FRSO-affiliated website FightBack! News.
The Milwaukee Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression Facebook page issued a call to free arrested protester Adelana Akindes—a leader of the UW–Parkside New Students for a Democratic Society.
The Milwaukee Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression is led by FRSO member Lauryn Cross.
A Wisconsin FRSO Facebook page post on Aug. 25 features a quote from Mao over a picture of the Kenosha protest and the hashtags #Justice4JacobBlake #NationalLiberation and #Kenosha.
“The people, and the people alone, are the motive force in the making of world history.” — Mao ZedongThe Facebook post then highlights “our comrades on the frontlines down in Kenosha tonight.”
FRSO’s FightBack! News declared:
“Members of the Milwaukee Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression and Freedom Road Socialist Organization are participating in the protests.” The morning after the first riots, FightBack! News described the previous night’s chaos as an “Uprising underway in Kenosha:”The language is similar to that used in the wake of the Minneapolis riots. During an interview with the Green Flame podcast (that has since been removed from their website), Minneapolis FRSO comrade and protest organizer Sundin said:“Riot police assembled at the scene of the shooting as the crowd began to gather, including members of the Milwaukee Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression. Those assembled quickly grew restless in their anger. Squad cars were smashed and Molotovs thrown. The people chased the cops away and then set off on a march to the Kenosha Police Department (KPD) downtown. “When protesters arrived at the KPD building, they rallied in the front parking lot. As the crowd swelled, SWAT trucks and riot cops rolled onto the scene. Tear gas was deployed, but not enough to disperse the crowd. The riot police formed a line and attempted to push the crowd away from the building and out of the parking lot. The people met them with linked arms and prevented their advance. Holding strong, the people chanted ‘No justice, no peace!’ and ‘Jacob Blake!’ “Eventually, the riot police began to retreat into the police station. People from the crowd threw fireworks behind the row of cops. Then the second wave of tear gas was fired into the line of protesters, this time in a more substantial quantity, forcing them to break up. In spite of these efforts, the people would not quit. More cop cars were smashed and other vehicles used by KPD to block roads were set on fire.”
“The first two weeks after George Floyd was killed saw an intense high level of organizing all day and all night every day. During the day we would have marches and rallies and at night the focus was often at the Third Precinct. Which is the police station where George Floyd’s killers were working out of. … I can’t tell you the joy it brought all of us to see the Third Precinct destroyed.”Speaking to a crowd in Milwaukee two days before Blake was gravely wounded in Kenosha, prominent Wisconsin FRSO leader Ryan Hamann publicly praised the arson of Minneapolis’ Third Precinct police station:
“On May 28, thousands more in that city organized and marched and forced the police into a full retreat from the Third Precinct police station and it was righteously burned.”
The FRSO follows the Chinese Communist Party line. Their connections to the riots in Minneapolis, Kenosha, and more than a dozen other cities across the United States aren’t hard to find.
Are authorities loathe to point out that China’s loyal American comrades are burning American cities?
How many more cities have to be destroyed before authorities are willing to act?

“Awards will support community-based crime-fighting initiatives, local victim service programs, and the hiring and training of law enforcement officers and prosecutors.”
Sure they will. That money will end up going to fund every liberal progressive agenda the politicians can come up with. Shell companies and organizations will be set up to make it look legit. This is just another scam being funded by the taxpayers.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Trump administration has been withholding funds from Dem Govs who allow rioting, as Wisconsin has done and in this measure, The Trump administration is funding the police that the Wisconsin deep staters/lefties want to defund.
How many millions of this money will be bled off by the politicians?
Until we address this communist / maoist problem, nothing will change. The Epoch Times has a paywall on this article, but I think it is very important to put the whole thing here so we all know what we are fighting. Maybe this $41 million will buy some naive votes in November, but it won’t make a dent fighting this native evil.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The president is fighting for the will of the public and having them witness what the Dems have in store for our country has proven to be an unforgettable eye opening experience for them - with a real move of former dems turning to vote for Trump. There’s no naivete involved. The riots are intended to provoke Trump into sending troops in so that Dem thugs can stage shootings/violence to frame federal troops for. It’s been done in foreign countries and is being attempted here. Trump is eluding their frame up and showing the public lying Dem governors watching their states burn down while claiming to protect “peaceful protestors.” As ugly as it is, the game plan is working in consevative’s favor. As ugly as it is.
They are hiring more cops that the dems want to defund. The antifa/paid operatives are being rounded up.
“where the President announced $41 million in grant awards to the state of Wisconsin and local jurisdictions within the state”
I don’t see any direct mention of the police in that. The money will be given to politicians who are then supposed to pass it on to to whatever. But once they have the money then it will go wherever they want to send it. And it does not good to fund the police if their hands are tied behind their backs.
Want to solve these problems. Untie the hands of the police against rioters. Let them fight fire with fire.

The Trump administration is funding things the Wisconsin corrupt officials don’t want, like hiring and training of law enforcement officers. It’s the governors who are tying the hands of police.
Why should wisconsin send taxpayer dollars south for hurricane recovery?
Good summary and you are absolutely right. The amazing thing is the past week or so the Dems have been feverishly working to say Trump is inciting hatred and racism. Trump is responsible for the violence, deaths, and property destruction. They are good communists with no objective truth and the use of the “Big Lie.” But I don’t believe it is working one bit.
But if the DAs and prosecutors are all rabid marxists and refuse to press charges and let them go, then I’m afraid all is for naught. At least it’s a start and Trump can show the American people what he is doing that is constructive against the anarchy and chaos.
Nice Barr. Now, do you think you could start prosecuting some sick leftist bastards?
A state Governor has always been able to declare a State of Emergency in his state, and request aid (money, personnel, & supplies) from the Feds, which is usually granted.
The state Governors who refused to stop the anarchist mob riots in Minneapolis, Portland, Seattle, & Kenosha are directly responsible for the deaths, carnage, looting, infernos, & multi-million $ devastation. The Feds should not bail them out. President Trump rightly denied such a plea from Minnesota.
I suspect money is going to Wisconsin because it is a swing state.
