Washington D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser on Friday unveiled the newly minted "Black Lives Matter Plaza" near the White House in an apparent tribute to the protesters who have advocated against police brutality and racism in the city over the past several days in the wake of the death of George Floyd.

Bowser tweeted a photo of what appeared to be a city worker affixing a street sign to a light pole on a section of 16th Street in the nation's capital.

"The section of 16th street in front of the White House is now officially 'Black Lives Matter Plaza,'" she said.

Is Planned Parenthood located on this street? Poetic justice if it is.

That’s not all. The words “Black Lives Matter” are painted on 16th street in yellow letters that are four lanes tall. The words stretch three full blocks of 16th street. The painting began at 3am and was recently completed. It’s impressive-looking.

As Trump is now calling their agenda, “Baby Talk”. I love that! That is what it is. It is what you expect to hear from the baby just before you wipe the poo off of its aarse.

So misguided. . .they need to be more concerned about getting to see the "streets paved with gold" rather than renaming one here on earth for pure anti-President motives.. . .it won't matter what color anyone is. . .we all get new bodies (a good thing LOL). For he says, "In the time of my favor I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you." I tell you, now is the time of God's favor, now is the day of salvation. 2 Corinthians 6:2). Do you know Jesus as your personal Savior? If not He's waiting for you to contact Him.

Mayor Bowser is playing with fire. The D.C. National Guard is always under the president’s command because there is no governor, which means that President Trump does not have to activate any special or unusual authorities to use the units for security or policing in and around the District. If the governors of other states have activated their sate’s National Guard units and sent them to DC that is also perfectly legal.

What leftist know but ignore and Americans seem ignorant of is that Washington, D.C. is a federal district created under the Residence Act on July 16, 1790. The U.S. Constitution provided for a federal district under the exclusive jurisdiction of the U.S. Congress, and the District is therefore not a part of any U.S. state. Congress, in 1871, created a single municipal government for the District and therefor the mayor and city government of D.C. are a creation of, and subordinates to, Congress. Congress maintains supreme authority over the city and may overturn local laws.

The District did not have an elected local government until the passage of the 1973 Home Rule Act. The Act devolved certain Congressional powers to an elected mayor, currently Muriel Bowser, and the thirteen-member Council of the District of Columbia. However, Congress retains the right to review and overturn laws created by the council and intervene in local affairs.

The outcome of this insurrection will be determined by the election results in November. Please remember to vote and make sure that those that think like we do vote as well. Your freedoms and your life may depend on it
