President Donald Trump on Friday shared a list of people responsible for vandalizing property in Lafayette Park.
“MANY people in custody, with many others being sought for Vandalization of Federal Property in Lafayette Park,” Trump wrote on Twitter. “10 year prison sentences!”
The president shared an FBI flyer with the photos of 15 suspects involved with the attempt to topple the statue of President Andrew Jackson on the night of June 22. Park police thwarted the attempt before the statue was toppled.
Several of the individuals pictured in the flyers were wearing masks but others were not.

The FBI said that the individuals in the flyer were responsible for pusuing the destruction of government property, subject to a felony offense.
Trump on Thursday said that state and local governments had to get much tougher with violent mobs attacking and toppling statues.
“These people are vandals, they’re agitators, they’re terrorists, in a sense,” he said in a town hall with Fox News host Sean Hannity.

Delingpole: Archbishop of Canterbury Wants ‘Rethink’ on ‘White’ Jesus
https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2020/06/27/archbishop-of-canterbury-urges-us-to-rethink-white-jesus/
The Archbishop of Canterbury wants us to rethink the Western notion that Jesus was white and is wondering whether to remove monuments and memorials in Church of England buildings lest they offend someone.
If this isn’t a sign that we are approaching End Times, I don’t know what is.
The Archbishop — Eton-educated ex-oilman Justin Welby — was offering his half-baked religious insights to the BBC’s Today programme.
As you would expect of a Church of England priest it was a masterly exercise in flannel, equivocation and fence-sitting.
On the one hand he insisted he was not an iconoclast: “So I’m not really concerned with bringing down and breaking the statues. I know this is controversial but, you know, we need to have the memory and some of those symbols remind us, and they make the memory still valid.”
On the other, he said that he would be looking at the monuments in Canterbury Cathedral “very carefully” to see if they all “should be there”. Which doesn’t sound to me like a man committed to keeping the fabric of his churches intact but rather like someone who is more than happy to surrender the pass to appease the forces of woke.
Similarly on the subject of Jesus, he was responding to a heavily loaded question — so typical of the BBC — which more or less forced him to mouth the correct PC pieties.
Asked if the “way the Western church portrays Jesus needs to be thought about again”, he said:
“Yes of course it does, this sense that God was white… You go into churches (around the world) and you don’t see a white Jesus.
“You see a black Jesus, a Chinese Jesus, a Middle Eastern Jesus – -which is of course the most accurate — you see a Fijian Jesus.”
Welby then did a bit of nimble backtracking by saying:
“Jesus is portrayed in as many ways as there are cultures languages and understandings.
“And I don’t think that throwing out everything we’ve got in the past is the way to do it but I do think saying ‘that’s not the Jesus who exists, that’s not who we worship’, it is a reminder of the universality of the God who became fully human.”
Indeed. But why dig himself into that hole in the first place with that initial, overeager “Yes of course it does”?
Why does the Western church need to think about the way it portrays Jesus?
Probably the most vigorous and packed churches in Britain and beyond are those with mostly black, evangelical congregations. Were any of them put off by the fact that — for glaring historical reasons so obvious that even a five-year-old would understand them — the Jesus portrayed in almost all Western church iconography is Caucasian?
