Naked woman does ballet at Portland, Oregon protest.
On the early morning July 17, 2020 after 52 days of protests every day in Portland, Oregon as well as other places in the world, the weirdest protest tactic I have ever heard of took place. I am not sure what else to add.
As of today, I still don't know if anyone knows who she is or what she was trying to do.

Minneapolis City Council Pledges to Dismantle Police Department | NowThis
George Floyd's murder as a spark that set off a "powder keg" that has been building from a lot of problems in Minneapolis for decades.
An Urgent Message from Dr Brown (06.08.20)
I like what Dr Michael Brown has to say here. I just wish he would make a difference between the Black Lives Matter Movement and the Black Lives Matter Organization.
Disturbing Video of Protester Shot in the Face With a Rubber Bullet
It is very interesting how different news outlets cover the same story. I saw another related story LaToya Ratlief refers to where Fort Lauderdale police officer pushes kneeling protestors. I hope she recovers fully.

Testimony: Racist slur used as Arbery lay dying
Ok...so far anyone who thought that Ahmad Arbery's death had nothing to do with his race.

Trump Cares More About Looking Christian Than Being Christian
On Monday June 1, 2020 President Trump interrupted the lawful protest of American citizens for a Photo-op?! The protesters were peacefully demonstrating in Lafiete Park in Washington DC against the murder of George Floyd close to Saint John's Episcopal Church. Police came through in heavy riot gear and pushed people out of the park! Then Trump and several his advisers walked through the park, stopped at the church. Several pictures were taken of Trump awkwardly holding up a Bible. I'm trying not to be too hard on him. It was probably his first time holding a Bible. Anyway, I couldn't believe that this happened. Here is how NBC reported it.
Further adding to this travisty there is eyewitness testimony from clergy at the church on how the park was cleared:
The Secretary of Defense,Mark Espers, who was with Trump during this debacle says that the police did not use force.

Is Espers lying or is he just mistaken? I don't know. Look at what happened when the Prime Minister of Canada was asked about Donald Trump's response to our nationwide protests.

Who is Right about Isaiah 10?
Who is right about Isaiah 10? Is James White correct about what God has said in Isaiah 10? Or is his commitment to Calvinism skewing his exegesis?
Is Leighton Flowers is correct or his commitment against Calvinism destroying his comprehension of scripture?
Read Isaiah 10 and see who is right. They agree that God is saying that He is going to use the Assyrians to judge Judah for their sins by allowing Assyria to occupy and plunder His own people. And then when the Assyrians are done, God promised to punished Assyria for their sins and actions again Judah!
James White says that this passage is proof that God decreed for the Assyrians to do what they did - allowing them to do what they wanted to do and punish them for it. Leighton Flowers disagrees that God decreed the Assyrians actions but instead took advantage of their sins to bring about God's own purpose. I think the disagreement is over who gets the credit for what happened. Did God purpose the Assyrians as an instrument of his wrath and then punish them for doing what he purposed them to do? I think the passage in Isaiah says God did exactly that. Assyria was nothing more than a blunt instrument in God's hands.
I think James White is right that the reason God is just to punish Assyria because He didn't have to force them to be evil. They did what they wanted to do. Recall also that this isn't the only passage that show God working the same way. Just read Habakkuk.

5 “Woe to the Assyrian, the rod of my anger,
in whose hand is the club of my wrath!
6 I send him against a godless nation,
I dispatch him against a people who anger me,
to seize loot and snatch plunder,
and to trample them down like mud in the streets.
7 But this is not what he intends,
this is not what he has in mind;
his purpose is to destroy,
to put an end to many nations.
- Isaiah 10:5-7
