A monument in Baltimore to Christopher Columbus was vandalized overnight.

Baltimore Police said they were looking into the incident. A video posted to YouTube shows a man striking the base of the monument near Herring Run Park repeatedly with a sledgehammer. Another person holds a sign that reads: “Racism, tear it down.” Another sign is taped to the monument reading: “The future is racial and economic justice.”

They will probably call for a statue-destruction-free weekend.... perhaps that will work.

Whilst sad this is going to be a PR disaster for the left and Dems. Literally no statue is safe. Local communities up and down the US are about to become annoyed, very annoyed.

IMO, it’s bought and paid for sedition. Follow the financing, investigate, expose, and prosecute.

Louis Gohmert was on with Mark Steyn today and he said a special prosecutor needs to investigate whose paying for Charlotteville and all the other destruction.

Wanna bet it won’t be a surprise and we already know the names?

“Racism, tear it down.”

Analysis of coprolite[edit]

The initial reports speculating that the seven humans had been cannibalized was met with skepticism from some scientists and criticism by Native American groups including the Ute tribe. (The Ute are a separate people from either the alleged victims or the alleged perpetrators.) The Ute have a strong oral tradition of peace between their ancestors and neighboring groups, which is not necessarily in agreement with the traditions of other groups or historical information.[6]

To investigate the theory that cannibalism had been practiced at the Cowboy Wash site, Richard Marlar, a University of Colorado molecular biologist examined the coprolite (fossilized human feces) found on site and discovered it tested positive for human myoglobin, which is found in human muscle tissue. This type of myoglobin was not found in 20 'control' coprolites in comparable sites.[7] This indicated the feces contained the remains of digested human flesh.[8] Malar also found the myoglobin protein during a chemical analysis of a cooking pot at the ancient Anasazi site.

“Remind me where it was that Chris landed in the US.”

Columbus never landed in what is now the United States.

He made four voyages and explored the Bahamas, Cuba, Hispanola, Central America, northern South America and several Caribbean Islands.

BLM got $133 million in grants from various Soros Open Society foundations and the Ford Foundation.

Gee, what on earth would BLM do with $133 million dollars?

The U.S. Code of Federal Regulations defines terrorism as "the unlawful use of force and violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives" (28 C.F.R. Section 0.85).

Louis Gohmert was with Mark Steyn today and he’s asking for an investigation into whose paying for this sedition! We know the names. Now, it’s way past time for the DOJ and FBI to take care of business, in my opinion, what’s yours?

” Now, it’s way past time for the DOJ and FBI to take care of business, in my opinion, what’s yours?”

Unfortunately I trust neither the FBI nor the DOJ with managing a thorough and unbiased investigation. Both departments have been politicized by the Clinton and Obama administrations as well as the unwillingness of the Bush administration to remove the leftists installed in the bureaucracy by the Clinton administration. Comey and Mueller corrupted the FBI. Eric Holder and Loretta Lynch corrupted the Justice Department. Rod Rosenstein, Session’s deputy, has demonstrated he is no an objective player.

What unbiased prosecutor, having seen what happened to Ken Starr and is watching what is happening to Trump, would accept the assignment. Even if another Ken Starr is found who will take it on, how is she/he going to get the politicized FBI to do a thorough investigation?

Until Trump cleans house, no investigation of Democrats, social justice warriors, or their allied interest groups is going occur.
