The UK authorities on Tuesday reported an abrupt increase in infection rates – over 14,500 new coronavirus cases, roughly 2,000 up from Monday, with the worrisome statistics making the resolution of the health crisis an even more burning issue. Senior politicians from four major northern councils have directed a letter to the government warning that the current coronavirus restrictions are “not working”, calling some of them confusing and others counterproductive. In the letter by Leeds City Council leader Judith Blake, Manchester City Council leader Sir Richard Leese, Newcastle City Council head Nick Forbes, and Liverpool Mayor Joe Anderson expressed their “extreme […]
The Seattle City Council has voted to overturn Mayor Jenny Durkan’s veto on legislation that would slash millions of dollars from the local police budget, a move cheered by activist groups and reviled by some residents. The council overturned Durkan’s veto by a vote of 7-2, securing exactly the number of votes needed to put the legislation into effect. “In the wake of a racial reckoning, a $300 million budget shortfall, a pandemic, a climate crisis, a homelessness crisis… and a lack of federal leadership, our fundamental duty remains: to balance the City’s budget and meet the needs of Seattle’s most […]

President Donald Trump has offered federal assistance to the mayors of cities dealing with violent “antigovernment” protests, saying he can “solve [the] problem fast” if they can’t properly police their own communities. “These riots are an antigovernment movement from the Left that are all in Democrat run cities,” the president tweeted on Sunday. “The mayors have got to let their police do what they know how to do. Would be very easy to suppress or, call in the Federal Government. We will solve problem fast!” These riots are an antigovernment movement from the Left that are all in Democrat run cities. […]
In multiple cities across the United States, a peculiar thing is happening. Liberal mayors are allowing lawless rioters to do whatever they want, while law abiding citizens are stuck in their homes. In Portland, Seattle, Chicago, New York, and other cities, the mayors actually seem to be siding with the rioters and telling police to stand down. This is unfair to their peaceful, tax-paying citizens.

It happened in Atlanta. In San Francisco. In D.C. and in Charlotte. Over and over again in recent weeks, black female mayors have stepped onto the national stage—and been forced to publicly face their contradictory roles. Not only are these women in positions of power and obligated to uphold the law, but they also find themselves promoting racial justice in a movement that does not always fight for black women. “I’m in charge of this city,” San Francisco Mayor London Breed told The Daily Beast, but “I’m still a black woman who is sadly still being treated in a disrespectful way, […]
