Kierein. A warming trend. Whats gone on over the last few days. And news4 midday starts right now. Just this morning, a 10inch noose found hanging from a tree on campus at duke university. We want to you look at this photo of a thin yellow rope posted on social media, and news about it also spread when the story made it into the schools daily newspaper. It was taken down just before 3 00 a. M. One blogger on tumblr wrote, the durham North Carolina campus is a hostile environment for any and all people.

Uva started to craft the new policy before the Rolling Stone article about an alleged rape at a frat h
And yet the protest being held in his name show no signs of fading. Across the country, the front pages once again tell the story of a nation on a knifes edge. On monday, the president insisted that state and local officials needed to, quote, dominate the protests or risk looking weak. We need to remember that the vast majority of these protests have been peaceful. Hundreds of thousands of people turned out in city after city to march and hold signs demanding justice for george. Yet there were pockets of chaos, absolute chaos after dark. Police officers were shot in las vegas and st. Louis. Widespread looting was reported across new york, despite a curfew put in place last night. All of this came after the president spent the entire day threatening to use more aggressive tactics against law breakers. He said he was an ally of those looking for justice for george floyd. But when it came to washington, d. C. , authorities there used rubber bullets and tear gas, not on a mob of looters bu
Very little action. Senior officials including members of the cabinet spent the day doing cleanup, in some cases walking back what the president has said, in other cases scrambling to craft some kind of policy to fit what he has said. You can make a policy case for or against virtually ever issue that the president has been talking about. This isnt about whether the president s ideas are good or bad. Thats for voters and of course history to decide. What we want to focus on right now is what actually happens after the president makes headlines by saying something in person or in tweets that appear to take his own administration by surprise. Its important because it raises the question just how much weight do the words of the president of the United States now actually have. Syria, for example. Heres the president departing from prepared remarks in ohio last thursday. By the way, were knocking the hell out of isis. Well be coming out of syria like very soon. Let the other people take ca
Hes going to become a really relevant guy all of a sudden. Yeah. Well, hes going to fight it, this president. Obviously hes fighting. He doesnt want to interview with mueller face to face. Hes going to fight democrats. Hes already calling them out, saying bring it on. Its going to be a standoff. Again, im paraphrasing, but thats basically what hes saying. Not easy to beat a subpoena from congress, especially for documents. Not at all. But what are they going to go . Im not a big believer in their value. I know i get beat up for a lot of this, you know, selling the Mueller Probe is not going to be that revelatory and lowering peoples expectations. Youre not the only one. I have so many people who are progressives and liberals who are like, mueller must have something. Im like, i dont know what he has, but to think that mueller is going to drive this president from office, i think is being a little bit naive. Lets just say that the president is impeached, right, which is the possibility
