General Mark Milley downplayed the scale of the George Floyd protests in May 2020, claims the new tell-all book “Peril” by Bob Woodward and Robert Costa.
The journos write that General Milley convinced then-President Donald Trump that the protesters were not “burning America down”. He reportedly argued that demonstrations had only erupted in two cities and that the number of protesters rarely exceeded 300.
These protests would later grip almost half of the country for months, with many of them descending into riots and looting.

♟😡 Chess legend Nona Gaprindashvili is suing Netflix over her portrayal in the “Queen’s Gambit” series.
In the final episode, the announcer of a chess tournament says, “There’s Nona Gaprindashvili, but she’s the female world champion and has never faced men”.
The real Gaprindashvili blasted this line as “grossly sexist and belittling”. Her lawsuit says that by 1968 – the year the episode was set – she had competed against at least 59 men, “including at least ten Grandmasters of that time”.
“In a story that was supposed to inspire women by showing a young woman competing with men at the highest levels of world chess, Netflix humiliated the one real woman trail blazer who had actually faced and defeated men on the world stage in the same era”, the lawsuit reads.

🇺🇸 US Capitol Police Chief Thomas Manger said they have received threats of violence ahead of Saturday's rally in support of those charged in the January 6 riots.
Police are unsure if the threats are credible and have plans in place to ensure protesters and counter-demonstrators do not cross paths, he added.

😶 Attorney of Brian Laundrie has released two statements, none of which mention the possible whereabouts of his missing girlfriend, blogger Gabby Petito.
Laundrie, who was on a road trip with Petito and may be the last person who saw her, is still refusing to speak with the police.

🩸🔪 A Texas lawyer was detained for dressing up as Michael Myers from the “Halloween” films – and walking like that on a beach.
Mark Metzger says he just wanted to bring “a little bit of positivity in the gloomy doom”, but people did not appreciate the gesture and reported the strange-looking man to the police.
As his bloody knife turned out to be fake, the man was released and cited for disorderly conduct.

🚁 Helicopter footage shows hundreds of illegal immigrants flocking to Texas from Mexico across the Rio Grande River without government intervention on either side of the border. So far we have counted about 10,000, and they are all arriving.
🧐 It's still unclear what authorities will do with these immigrants. Should they wait till migrants build their own town down the river or should they cordon the refugees, like in [dystopian fictional film] District 9?

@TedCruzTX on video blames the Biden administration because "they were no longer going to fly deportation flights back to Haiti."
🗣 Cruz added that after the cancellation of flights, "the word has gone out, if you're from Haiti, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have said we have open borders, come to Del Rio, and they will let you in. ... And it's a political decision that Joe Biden could end tonight by simply following the law and saying, we are going to send people back to Haiti, which is what federal immigration law requires, until Biden and Harris got into office."
