UTL COMMENT:- Typical LOW IQ dumb idiots. Several journalists have been injured while covering the protests in Los Angeles, including a television reporter who was struck when a law enforcement officer fired a nonlethal projectile while she was on the air. The reporter, Lauren Tomasi of 9News Australia, a CNN affiliate, was conducting a live broadcast from the scene of a protest on Sunday afternoon when she was hit. Video of the broadcast shows Ms. Tomasi standing off to the side of an intersection in downtown Los Angeles. Armed police officers, some on horseback, are seen behind her, squaring off against protesters as booms are heard in the background. “The situation has now rapidly deteriorated, the L.A.P.D. moving in on horseback, firing rubber bullets,” Ms. Tomasi says in the report, referring to officers from the Los Angeles Police Department. Then, the video shows a law enforcement officer pointing a weapon toward Ms. Tomasi and firing it. She shrieks and limps away. According to the broadcaster, Ms. Tomasi was hit with a projectile and left sore but not seriously hurt. According to CNN, Australia’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade issued a statement in support of Ms. Tomasi, saying “all journalists should be able to do their work safely.” It was not immediately clear whether the officer had been aiming at Ms. Tomasi, or what law enforcement agency the officer belonged to. The L.A.P.D., the California Highway Patrol and the Department of Homeland Security are among the agencies whose officers were responding to the protests. The L.A.P.D. said it did not have “any comment or statement on any specific incident pertaining to the protests.”

An influential group of GOP hawks has launched a behind-the-scenes lobbying offensive pressing President Donald Trump to not only back off his administration’s quest for a nuclear deal with Iran, but greenlight an attack on Tehran by Israel. The campaign is raising alarms among Trump and his allies, who have launched a counteroffensive to keep the president’s diplomacy on track. During a private lunch with the president at the White House last Wednesday, conservative talk show host Mark...

There’s never a good time to launch a riot against the duly-elected government of the United States, and rioters tend to be malicious actors and/or idiots. There’s always some of them who are just interested in mischief for its own sake, or are revolutionaries searching for the eternal high of heightening the contradictions. That said, the protesters against Trump immigration and deportation policy who chose to cross the line from peaceful protest to riot were especially foolish....

KYIV, June 10 (Reuters) - Russia launched one of its largest air strikes on Kyiv in over three years of war and struck a maternity ward in the southern city of Odesa in attacks that killed at least three people, officials said on Tuesday. The overnight strikes followed Russia's biggest drone assault of the war on Ukraine on Monday and were part of intensified bombardments in what Moscow says is retaliation for attacks by Ukrainian forces on Russia. The...

Since Donald Trump was elected again, I’ve feared one scenario above all others: that he’d call out the military against people protesting his mass deportations, putting America on the road to martial law. Even in my more outlandish imaginings, however, I thought that he’d need more of a pretext to put troops on the streets of an American city — against the wishes of its mayor and governor — than the relatively small protests that broke out in Los Angeles last week. In a...

Border czar Tom Homan defended the deployment of hundreds of Marines to help protect federal officials and property amid violent protests in Los Angeles.

Demonstrators in Los Angeles...
