INTRODUCING THE LEFT’S NEXT WOULD-BE MARTYR: The Last Ride of Da’Quain Johnson. “De’Quain Johnson was 32 years old when he was fatally shot by police around 9:30 p.m. February 18 after a pursuit that began after police received a complaint that Johnson was carrying a firearm. He was riding a bicycle at the time, and your first thought might be, “Why is a grown man riding a bicycle on a February night in Michigan?” Probably his driver’s license had been revoked, although I have been unable to find his full criminal history, but my point is that an adult man riding around Grand Rapids on a bicycle that time of night in February — yeah, a police officer might take notice of that behavior. However, police had not randomly noticed De’Quain Johnson, but rather had specific information that he was armed.”
Read the whole thing.
ANALYSIS: TRUE.

OH: King Charles will now ‘protect the multi-faith nation’ as new role defined.
The King will “protect the space for Faith within the multi-faith nation,” in a new definition of his official role.
Buckingham Palace unveiled a significant revision to the King’s official role, with the newly released Sovereign Grant report 2025/26 describing His Majesty as the protector of faith across Britain’s diverse religious landscape.
The annual financial review of the Royal Household contains fresh terminology, positioning the monarch as someone who safeguards religion throughout the nation.
According to the document: “His Majesty is Supreme Governor of the Church of England and protects the space for Faith within the multi-faith nation.”
This reform represents a notable evolution in how the Palace formally characterises the sovereign’s constitutional and spiritual responsibilities.
The previous year’s report had characterised the King under his “Head of Nation” duties as “Head of the Church of England and Defender of the Faith.”
Will some faiths — er, one faith? — prove more equal than others?

DISPATCHES FROM THE BLUE ZONES:
MASSIVE SCANDAL UNFOLDING IN DENVER
You will want to read to the end. Absolutely shocking corruption and coverup.
Denver City Council blocked Denver International Airport from leasing space to Key Lime Air, because the airline worked with ICE.

There was just one problem…
It violates FAA rules.
So what did they do?
City attorney Miko Brown allegedly urged the airport to fabricate an investigation into the airline’s safety record to cover up for illegally discriminating against the airline for political reasons.
When word got out, Brown and Mayor Mike Johnston flat out denied it.
However CBS just obtained an internal airport memo appearing to reveal the entire thing was true.
Throw the book at them.
YES:
Of course rent control is a terrible idea — but that's the plan here. When landlords abandon unprofitable buildings, the city, or more likely affiliated NGOs, will wrest control of them. The DSA will have a big political war chest from being a slumlord. https://t.co/k9T0V0Xd5K

I noticed something similar a few weeks back:
So the first step is to incentivize neglect via rent control. A few steps later, you "transfer ownership" to your cronies. And then you're just a couple more steps away from "some animals are more equal than others." https://t.co/1L2sjKgRml

ERIC FLORACK’S DAILY: The American Story of Hung Cao.
DHIMMITUDE: Tucker Carlson Says He Used to Criticize Islam, but Now He Sees the Light. “Compounding Tucker Carlson’s dishonesty here is the fact that he is also making claims about Islam and dismissing those claims as ‘hysterical,’ and will never allow anyone who believes that there is a problem with Islam, or that the problem is Islam, onto his show to discuss it with him. He is, of course, free to feature anyone he wants, but his is not exactly a platform for open and honest discussion of the relevant issues that will allow for opinions that differ from those that Tucker Carlson holds. That also is his right, but when he makes sweeping claims that are false, as he does here, he does his audience an even greater disservice than usual. What about the Qur’an’s violent teachings? What about Islam’s doctrines of conquest and subjugation? Do they simply not exist now because Tucker Carlson says they’re hysterical?”

UNEXPECTEDLY: Seattle’s Sky-High Minimum Wage for Delivery Drivers Has Been a Disaster.
Gig workers make no more money, but prices went up.
Apps like DoorDash and Uber Eats added a $5 fee for consumers “to help cover the costs of these…regulations.”
Now Seattle residents complain about prices. “I ordered a $12 sandwich…$12 grew to $32!” complains one in my new video. “I just deleted the app.”
“[Work] has become slow because of the new law,” an app driver complains. DoorDash says it got 1.7 million fewer Seattle orders in 2024.
This is what happens when politicians dictate wages.
“Obviously, when you’re increasing cost to businesses, you’re going to increase costs to customers,” says economics professor Judge Glock. “These are unimaginably complicated markets where the company’s main job is interfacing between restaurants and delivery workers and customers. Then you have an economically illiterate city council or mayor who thinks, basically by looking at an industry through reading the news, they can appropriately regulate the exact wage.”
Former Seattle City Council President Sara Nelson admits that the politicians made a mistake: “We created a problem and it’s our responsibility to fix it.”
They repealed the harmful law?
No.
Government promises the solution that makes the problem worse that requires more government.

MERDE: Paris Bans Alcohol Consumption, Sales Amid Heatwave.
French authorities said public consumption of alcohol would be banned in Paris from Friday, saying hospitals in and around the capital were overwhelmed amid a record-breaking heatwave.
“We are reaching a saturation point in hospital facilities,” Paris police prefect Patrice Faure said, adding that “the number of hospitalisations keeps increasing.”
“I must ensure that the pressure decreases,” he said, listing a series of measures.
Alcohol consumption in the streets and other public places as well as takeaway alcohol sales will be banned from Friday, Faure told reporters.
An order, published Thursday, prohibits public consumption of alcohol between 12 pm Friday and 7 am Saturday, and between 12 pm Saturday and 7 am Sunday.
