BLM fire ‘lit by Democrats’ is changing the tide for President Trump | Sky News AustraliaThe American electorate is fed up and won’t take kindly to the “implicit blackmail of the Left” which says vote for us or the riots will get worse, according to Sky News host James Morrow.\n\n“Democrats having lit the fire of Black Lives Matter and Antifa, are now desperately trying to act like they want to stop the very riots they encouraged,” Mr Morrow said.\n\nViolent riots continue to plague major cities in the US in the name of Black Lives Matter.\n\nRiots in Kenosha, Wisconsin – spurred by the shooting of an African American man by police - have matched the violence and looting which occurred immediately following the death of George Floyd.\n\n“It’s changing an election that looked until now like an uphill fight for Trump. Odds are tightening fast, and this is why,” Mr Morrow said.\n\n“The violence on the streets, in Washington, Kenosha, Portland, Seattle, and all over the US is too much for an American electorate fed up – and which won't take kindly to the implicit blackmail of the left which says, Vote for us, or the riots will get worse.\n\n“That's not the American way.”\n\nImage: AP\n\n

Outsiders inspired government's dismissal of ‘treacherous Belt and Road deal’ | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Rowan Dean says the Morrison government pulling the plug on “dodgy Dan Andrews and his treacherous Belt and Road dealings” is yet another win for the Outsiders.\n\n“Up until Mike Pompeo appeared on Outsiders, the Australian media and government had ignored what was staring them in the face,” Mr Dean said.\n\nOn May 24th Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was interviewed exclusively by Mr Dean discussing – amongst numerous issues – Victoria’s Belt and Road agreement.\n\n“The interview caused an instant hysterical meltdown from the Left, with the ABC and the Guardian squealing about the diplomatic storm that I had apparently single-handedly created,” Mr Dean said.\n\n“In this case, in keeping with its tried and tested business model, the Guardian had completely missed the real story and instead attacked the messenger.\n\n“The real story was that the Victorian government led by the communist-sympathising Dan Andrews was in the process of selling out Australian taxpayer and business interests to a ruthless totalitarian regime.\n\n“(Mr Andrews) was doing so with zero regard for the profound security consequences for us and for our friends and allies.\n\n“Fast forward exactly three months and hey presto … Prime Minister Scott Morrison has pledged to tear up state agreements with foreign governments if the Commonwealth dubs them against the national interest.”\n\nImage: News Corp Australia
