Short Takes<\/strong>:<\/font><\/p>\n

From Washington Post<\/a>: The city of Tulsa announced a last-minute curfew that began Thursday night and will continue Friday and Saturday, restricting people from a large area surrounding the arena where President Trump will hold his first campaign rally in months.<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

An executive order signed by Mayor G.T. Bynum (R) says the curfew, which begins at 10 p.m. and lifts at 6 a.m. all three nights, is intended to quell potential overnight violence as thousands intend to pour into the city to protest the president\u2019s visit.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s unclear whether the Trump supporters who have camped out for days to secure a prime spot to see the president on Saturday will be cleared out as well, but some videos posted on social media appeared to show people leaving the area carrying tents and lawn chairs .<\/p>\n

Bynum declared a \u201ccivil emergency\u201d after law enforcement informed the mayor that \u201cindividuals from organized groups who have been involved in destructive and violent behavior in other states are planning to travel to the City of Tulsa for purposes of causing unrest in and around the rally,\u201d the order reads.<\/p>\n

We need to watch this very carefully. I would be very surprised, if there is no continuation of violent Republican racist false flag terrorist attacks designed to appear as the work of Blank Lives Matter and\/or the non-existent Antifa.  RESIST<\/strong>!!<\/font><\/p>\n
