Among the turmoil across the United States: Fires lit near the White House, including at St. John's Church just a short walk away; rioters clashing with police in New York City; and the Los Angeles County sheriff saying people still out on the streets were "acting like terrorists."

The National Guard’s top general on Sunday said Guard units in nearly half of U.S. states have been mobilized to help major cities deal with the riots. Gen.

Bowser is one of Satan’s whores, so seeing Democrat City consumed with heat and fire makes sense.
