Antifa
Julio goes for the Gold(man)
Miranda Devine celebrates the beatdown of the repulsive Rep. Dan Goldman by reporter Julio Rosas at the House Homeland Security Committee hearing on Tuesday. Devine’s column is headlined “Taking down loathsome lefty pol Dan Goldman.” Goldman cuts a ridiculous figure as he appeals to the authority of the FBI. His timing of the appeal to authority is a bit off in this case. Goldman’s histrionic appeal to authority comes in »
Inside the bizarre hellworld of Minneapolis
Rebecca Brannon describes herself as an independent photojournalist covering Minnesota politics, protests, and riots. Rebecca has the nerve to do much of her reporting from the inside. If I have the chronology right, Rebecca got inside the “two hour black bloc Antifa protest” on Lake Street in Minneapolis, and the perpetrators are not happy about it. They don’t really want the exposure. Say this for the Star Tribune. The paper’s »
Finally, Some Canadian Violence! [Updated]
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau continues to smear protesting truckers and others, saying last night: “This is a story of a country that got through this pandemic by being united — and a few people shouting and waving swastikas does not define who Canadians are,” Trudeau told lawmakers during an emergency debate. This is an absurd slander; the protesters are waving Canadian flags. If Trudeau hadn’t been in hiding for »
Antifa Wins at Dartmouth
Andy Ngo, America’s premier journalist, was scheduled to speak at Dartmouth College last Thursday, on the subject of “Extremism in America” and at the invitation of the College Republicans and Turning Point USA. But the fascist group Antifa, which has viciously assaulted Ngo in the past, resulting in his hospitalization, objected to the event. Andy Ngo writes: About a week prior to the scheduled event, the group Northeast Antifa published »
Kyle Rittenhouse’s offense
To leftists and the prosecutors who did their bidding, Kyle Rittenhouse’s offense wasn’t any of the things he was charged with. He clearly had an unassailable defense to all of the charges against him. But that didn’t matter because Rittenhouse was guilty of something else — showing up armed at a leftist riot or, as the left called it, “vigilantism.” As the left and the prosecution see it, Rittenhouse never »
Joe Biden’s idea of healing America
The Biden administration pretends to perceive a threat of “domestic terrorism” when angry parents show up at school board meetings to demand answers as to why their young children have to wear masks all day and be taught that America is racist. Meanwhile, angry mobs who actually terrorize conservative politicians and harass a center-left one are subjects of benign neglect from Team Biden. Rand Paul’s wife has had enough of »
Who’s the Biggest Terrorist Threat?
Last night, Joe Biden repeated the absurd claim that, according go our intelligence agencies, white supremacists are our number one terrorist threat. Let me know when white supremacists burn down a city or two; until then, I am going with Antifa. This Antifa video describes the far-left movement in honest–i.e., openly terrorist–terms. It includes a threat to kill Ted Wheeler, the hapless left-wing mayor of Portland, and helpfully includes his »
Horowitz On the Chauvin Verdict
David Horowitz brings his take-no-prisoners style to the jury verdict in the Derek Chauvin case. Brooklyn Center, Minnesota….not Tehran pic.twitter.com/d538mSMg0t — Logan Ratick (@Logan_Ratick) April 19, 2021 No one in his right mind could have been surprised by the verdict in the Minneapolis trial of Officer Derek Chauvin for the killing of George Floyd. For 11 straight months cities have been burned, people have been murdered and billions of dollars »
Antifa Comes to Town
During the George Floyd riots in Minnesota last Summer, the first night or two of violence was carried out predominantly by locals. But then the professional rioters and career criminals arrived, in the person of Antifa. That seems to be happening again, as Fox News reports, with reporter Mike Tobin on the scene: Members of the violent far-left activist group Antifa identified themselves to a Fox News reporter who was »
Insurrection In Washington
The fascist organization Antifa does not exist, according to Democratic Party orthodoxy, so our news media avert their collective eyes from its depredations. Ignoring Antifa isn’t so easy if you live in cities that are under siege, like Portland, Seattle, and, in this case, Bellingham, Washington, which is north of Seattle and south of Vancouver. This police body cam video was filmed on January 28, released some days later and »
Inside Antifa
I grew up admiring “the crusading syndicated labor columnist” Victor Riesel, as the New York Times called him in its 1995 obituary. In a scene with overtones of On the Waterfront, Riesel had been blinded in an assault just after leaving Lindy’s restaurant in midtown Manhattan at 3:00 a.m. on April 5, 1956. “An hour earlier,” the Times recalled, Riesel “had finished a radio broadcast in which he assailed the »
Enough With the Outrage
Like pretty much all conservatives, I have consistently criticized riots and other forms of political violence for many years. That includes yesterday’s Washington, D.C. riot. You can’t say the same about liberals, however. Until yesterday, one might have thought that liberals consider rioting and other forms of political violence to be as American as apple pie. You could write a book in support of that proposition, but for now let’s »
#Antifa and #Black Lives Matter Are Evil
Today the Million MAGA March took place in Washington, D.C. to support President Trump as he fights for honest election returns. Predictably, activists/communists/criminals from Antifa and BLM–the groups no longer seem to be distinct–turned out to make trouble. They attacked the Trump supporters; you can see a number of videos at ZeroHedge: “BLM/Antifa Thugs Attack Trump Supporters, Including Children, After D.C. ‘Million MAGA March.'” Here, you see Antifa/BLM thugs attacking »
The Brownshirts Are Back
Some American cities, like Portland, Seattle and San Francisco, are starting to look like Germany in the 1930s. Yesterday a free speech rally was held in downtown San Francisco. Those marching for free speech were attacked by fascists from Antifa. Zero Hedge has collected photos and videos. Event organizer Philip Anderson was attacked by the Brownshirts, who knocked out his front teeth. White mob attacks black man and knocks out »
Goodbye, Portland
This is a video, tweeted by Guy Benson, of an Antifa member addressing Portland’s Mayor and City Council. You know, Antifa–the organization that no leading Democrat has denounced, to my knowledge, and whose existence some, like Joe Biden, apparently deny. It is sobering to watch this psychopath and those who cheer him on, and to consider how far we have declined: This is the ultimate “sir, this is a Wendy’s” »
This Cycle’s Most Hard-Hitting Ad
Public safety is the issue of the day, especially in the suburbs. This ad was produced by “Moms For Safe Neighborhoods” and is playing, I believe, mostly in Florida. But there are also some spots in Minnesota, and likely elsewhere. It includes an imaginary news person who says that the Democratic Congress and President Biden have cut spending on the police, which the federal government doesn’t really do. But the »
Life In a Blue City
In the video below, filmed in Hollywood, a Prius driver is stopped by a mob of Antifa/BLM criminals. They try to haul him out of his car, but he gets away. They pursue him in multiple vehicles, and a pickup cuts him off. Again the criminals try to assault him, and again he saves his life by driving away. The video ends with the victim being arrested and handcuffed by »
