UGH: Dem Compares Trump’s Law-and-Order Crackdown to a KKK Lynching.
For the record, the KKK served as the Democrats’ shock troops. Now they use antifa and BLM. But the use of mob violence to get their way outside of our republican processes remains the same.

CYBERSECURITY: Chinese-made drone app in Google Play spooks security researchers. “The Android version of DJI Go 4—an app that lets users control drones—has until recently been covertly collecting sensitive user data and can download and execute code of the developers’ choice, researchers said in two reports that question the security and trustworthiness of a program with more than 1 million Google Play downloads.”

CHOOSING SIDES: The Democrats’ Pro-Iran, Anti-Israel 2020 Platform. “It’s so pro-Iran that the National Iranian-American Council, the de facto Iranian regime lobby in Washington, immediately ‘applauded’ the DNC ‘for its forward-leaning platform commitments on issues of importance to the Iranian-American community.’ It demonstrates that President Obama’s curious preference for the supremacists running the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Muslim Brotherhood, rather than our traditional regional allies, has become mainstream Democratic ideology.”
Anti-white, too.
KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEF: Defund the Public Education Leftist Indoctrination Mills. “While I have never been one to view anything as an existential crisis, I’ve more and more come to believe that the upcoming presidential election will be a watershed moment for the United States. If Joe Biden wins, it will be the complete triumph of decades of public education indoctrination. The drift of so many young Americans towards socialism and anti-American sentiment is the direct result not being taught real American history, but being fed a leftist line that seeks to rewrite and/or whitewash much of what made this country great.”

Tong risks suspension or expulsion if he refuses to apologize.”

HMM: 90 Chinese nuclear scientists resigned; investigation underway.
The State Council, China’s Cabinet, has sent an investigative team with other government agencies to look into the recent resignation of over 90 nuclear security scientists at an institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the academy said on Tuesday.
The mystery surrounding the resignation of half of the employees in that research institute became one of the most talked-about topics in China.
The team consists of officials from the State Council’s general office, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the CAS and other departments. It will head to Hefei, Anhui province, to thoroughly investigate the situation, the academy said.
The recent resignation of over 90 nuclear security scientists at the academy’s Institute of Nuclear Energy Safety Technology has ignited public speculation on institutional bureaucracy, employee poaching and inadequate financial support for young scientific talent.
Plus this zinger at the end: “The timing of their resignation also made the Chinese netizens wonder if the scientists wanted to break their ties with the Chinese Communist Party before its imminent demise.”
