DON SURBER: Cool Hand Trump. “As the president takes heat from Chicken Littles who whine about acting presidential, President Trump remains coolly presidential in handling two nation-paralyzing events simultaneously. In both cases, the president gave Democrats plenty of rope and watched them hang themselves.”

Plus:

Covid 19 so failed Democrats that they unleashed Antifa to turn cities aflame in the summertime. How is that working for them? Seattle’s Karen mayor, Jenny Durkan, stuck her tongue out at the president and turned six blocks of her city over to these thugs. Three weeks later, she had police shut it down after the thugs went to Her House. How dare they? She wants to talk to their manager.

Democrats thought President Trump would send the riot police to shut them down. He did when the thugs took over the park across from the White House and torched a church. The press made it look awful. President Trump adapted to the situation. He took a step back. Democrats went crazy and tore up city after city after city. Their thugs acted like the criminals they are and eventually got arrested.

The Washington Post today complained, “Trump’s Twitter feed reads like a local crime blotter as he stokes a culture war.”

Hahaha.

No, dearie, he is just shining the light on these hooligans because otherwise, democracy dies in the darkness of a mob of Democrats. . . . The last 24 hours have returned the election to normal. Democrats are doomed.

“MOSTLY PEACEFUL” PROTESTERS: Third arrest made from protest shooting in downtown Provo.

Police arrested a third person in connection with a violent incident during a protest in downtown Provo on June 29.

Ogden native Bradley Walters was taken to the Utah County Jail on Wednesday night on felony charges of aggravated assault and rioting.

An affidavit of probable cause was filed by Provo Police explaining Walters’ involvement in the incident at the intersection of University Avenue and Center Street on June 29.

“Bradley Walters was recorded in the middle of the intersection pulling a revolver handgun and pointed it at the driver of the vehicle as Jesse (Taggart) was chasing the vehicle through the intersection,” the affidavit says. “Bradley continued running after the vehicle while pointing his gun at the driver, until the vehicle was gone.”

Police found the gun still in Walters’ possession when he spoke to them later that night. Taggart, who was arrested June 30 on attempted aggravated murder charges, fired multiple rounds at the car as it attempted to turn onto Center Street and then as it sped away down University Avenue.

Throw the book at these entitled jerks.

AMID A PANDEMIC, THE WOKE-IST MEDIA ARE EXPERIENCING A PSYCHOTIC BREAK:

This is not normal behavior from our press. This is a mental breakdown in the works. People of the future will look at all this and wonder how on earth these stories made it into print.

The best thing that can happen now for the news industry is for the pandemic to pass, the lockdowns to lift, and for everyone to go outside and get some fresh air. Because the way nearly everyone in the press is behaving now, it seems clear that cabin fever has set in hard, and it is an epidemic we may not shake as quickly as the coronavirus.

UNFORTUNATE IRANIAN WORKPLACE ACCIDENT: Setback for Iran’s Nuclear Program After Mystery Fire at Centrifuge Assembly Site. “The fire was a significant setback for Iran’s advanced centrifuge production,” Sarah Burkhard of the Institute for Science and International Security said. “Burkhard also said the damage to the facility was so large that it did not appear to have been caused by an industrial accident. Her colleague David Albright told The New York Times that he believed it was an act of sabotage, because the assembly of centrifuge components in the workshop would have involved few flammable liquids and was unlikely to be dangerous.”
