Editor’s Note:
I’m the author of the headline, which some may find inflammatory. Let me take a quick moment of Terry’s article to explain what I mean by this.

Wednesday, FNC’s Tucker Carlson decried the politicization of the Derek Chauvin trial, which he said is what in part led to the verdict.
According to the Fox News host, the verdict was guided by the “mob,” which he said had intimidated the jury.
Transcript as follows:
CARLSON: Oh, the drama. But at least the Chauvin trial is over. Officer Derek Chauvin was convicted yesterday on all counts. The trial went on for more than a month and at times the testimony was complex, it was technical.
But at the center of the case, there was always really just one piece of relevant evidence and it was the videotape of George Floyd’s death in the street in Minneapolis in May.
National Day Of Prayer
11:00 AM - 1:30 PM on Thursday, May 6
The National Day of Prayer is an annual observance held on the first Thursday of May, inviting people of all faiths to pray for the nation. It was created in 1952 by a joint resolution of the United States Congress, and signed into law by President Harry S. Truman. Our Task Force is a privately funded organization whose purpose is to encourage participation on the National Day of Prayer. It exists to communicate with every individual the need for personal repentance and prayer, to create appropriate materials, and to mobilize the Christian community to intercede for America’s leaders and its families. The Task Force represents a Judeo-Christian expression of the national observance, based on our understanding that this country was birthed in prayer and in reverence for the God of the Bible.
