A pastor at George Floyd's funeral called for the White House to be 'cleaned out' and urged the public to vote as hundreds of mourners, including the families of Ahmaud Arbery, Botham Jean and Eric Garner, gathered to lay the beloved father to rest.

Organizers have said that attendees include Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner, Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee, Rev. Al Sharpton, Attorney Benjamin Crump, Slim Thug, Leela James, Paul Wall, Floyd Mayweather, Congressman Al Green and Bishop James Dixon, according to KHOU11.

Rev. Sharpton will deliver the eulogy and Dr. Remus E. Wright and Pastor Mia K. Wright of the Fountain of Praise will deliver the life celebration salutation. Attorney Ben Crump is also slated to share remarks at the service.

Security at the funeral was supplied by the brothers with the Nation of Islam and the Houston police department.

'To George’s family and friends: Jill and I know the deep hole in your hearts when you bury a piece of your soul deep in this Earth. As I said to you privately, we know you will never feel again.

'To George’s children and grandchild: I know you miss your dad and granddad. To Gianna, as I said to you when I saw you yesterday you’re so brave, daddy’s looking down and he’s so proud of you...I know you have a lot of questions, honey.

We weren’t allowed to attend the funeral service of our neighbor of 10 years last month but obviously some people are more special than others/s

Part of the strong delusion? Perhaps it has started.

"Does Biden look like Howard the Duck in that mask to you too?"
If only orange had been available.

A little help over here? ;-)

Because if vfc they have more than twenty people at a gathering, picnic, barbeque, family reunion. Somebody will get shot.
Just watch the news in any major city.
Chicago is a great example.

She’s probably closer to Joe than she’s ever been to her father. Or da baby daddy as they say among women who don’t know which guy it is. Does anyone know if she knew her father?

By the way for everyone asking about Joe’s mask. It looks like the bottom half of a mask given to him by Robert Byrd.
Look up images of Grand Kleagle.

No need to insult Howard the Duck as he was pretty cool.

Turned on TV and there was some white guy invoking Christ and then started saying “You probably don’t want to hear from white people today...” - that is where I turned off Fox News.

Yes, indeed. I don’t think we are going to get out of this through the ballot box.
There are too many Republicans who want the US brought down, too and are either raised with overwhelming White guilt or want Trump defeated to matter the cost to cover up their own corruption.

The Floyd Finale – The Biden/Clyburn Push To Capitalize on Last Floyd Funeral…

Posted on  by 

If you’ve been following the week-long, highly political, three state grievance tour consisting of five funerals and viewings timed and located to maximize a 2020 political narrative; today is the culmination of the effort. However, you might also notice a big difference between how the media announced the program to the final day events.

The media previously claimed funeral number four for George Floyd in Houston, Texas, would be a small private gathering of family and close friends and that’s why Joe Biden would not be present to give his remarks in person. As the Biden/Clyburn campaign explained to Reuters: “He is not expected to attend the service to avoid any disruption to mourners that could be caused by his Secret Service protective detail.”

That Biden/Clyburn claim was always transparently silly. As you can see today from the funeral dozens of congresspersons, senators, state and national officials were included in a large made-for-television, live-broadcast, event that was not the least bit “private”, “small” or reserved for close family and friends. Instead it was what we expected it would be; a Joe Biden political rally exploiting the death of George Floyd.

That said, there is also clarity of purpose behind the video that Biden recorded; and, as we expected, the video was carefully constructed for the candidate to read from a teleprompter, edited with sound enhancements and under careful control. It is likely James Clyburn was more concerned with Biden screwing up a live speech, thus the recording was needed.

The carefully constructed video message sets the stage for the media to hype and play the soundbites. Like all other aspects to the orchestrated plan, this recording was by design. Immediately the media jumped into action to use the recorded message to push the agenda of the Biden/Clyburn campaign.

YouTube Capture Showing Dozens of Simultaneous Media outlets Promoting

Every broadcast and cable news outlet is pushing the Biden/Clyburn script now.  Biden did not travel to Houston to meet the family and record the video.  The video was recorded from the Biden/Clyburn studio several days ago while the three-state Floyd funeral tour was ongoing.

It appears that Biden remains a very tenuous candidate with limited abilities to function when not under the strongest of controls.  As a consequence everything around Biden has to be carefully scripted for optics and to retain the viable candidate narrative.  It should be stunning how much the media is helping to protect his weakness; alas, it’s not.

Everything is by design.  All of this is a carefully choreographed series of events.

The U.S. media is completely allied with the Biden campaign to construct a false reality based on the manipulation of all forms of media.


Funeral #4 was previously described by media as a "small private funeral for a few family members", and Joe Biden wouldn't appear because he would be a "disruption" for the small gathering.

Anyone remember? https://t.co/nf9amO4HMX

This is one of the best speeches I've ever heard. Just magnificent.
Thank you @JoeBiden for showing the world what true empathy - born from so much personal loss - & leadership looks like in such terrible, divisive, fearful times. #GeorgeFloyd https://t.co/CoOjYxZoj4

Oh, I agree. Even the movie adaptation.

Though I do think that Howard bombed at the box office inadvertently affected Star Wars.

My theory is that Lucas knew he was going to need far more complex critters than Yoda had been for the prequels and computer animation was far from adequate at the time so he decided to push the boundaries of animatronics with Howard in preparation; however, after Howard he had to put off plans for the prequels and began denying that there would be sequels. He also lost a big chunk of his studio he’d built up.

Had Howard made money Lucas would have made the prequels with animatronics and Jar Jar could not have been so much of a clown, he would have had to been closer to Drunken Fist style and not been as badly received by audiences not as jaded as a consequence. Whatever adjustments Lucas made in real life after the negative reaction to Jar Jar wouldn’t have happened and we’d have got, for better or worse, what Lucas had intended.

More importantly, the sequels wouldn’t have been put off so long that Disney bought the franchise, political correctness wasn’t as over the top back then either.

He also reminds me of the one boy’s Halloween costume in Spaced Invaders.
