Protests

An SOTU Postscript

Featured image Joe Biden’s State of the Union speech began almost a half hour behind schedule. The reason apparently was that his route to the Capitol was blocked by an illegal “kill the Jews” protest. So an official government proceeding was delayed by protesters who were violating the law. Doesn’t that sound familiar? Blocking an official proceeding. I think we have recent precedent on this. https://t.co/fxOZ9vxc74 — Josh Holmes (@HolmesJosh) March 8, »

Climate Activists Are Evil

Featured image We are far beyond the point where climate activists could be regarded as misguided but well-meaning. They are evil, pure and simple. Here, climate activists vandalize the United States Constitution display at the National Archives, bleating stupid pronouncements about “rich white men.” You have to go to college to become that dumb: BREAKING: Climate activists just ruined the display of the Constitution in the Rotunda of the National Archives in »

Mona Lisa? Please

Featured image Left-wing activists have taken to throwing food at paintings in order to make some kind of point. The latest victim is the Mona Lisa, in Paris’s Louvre Museum: In a video posted on social media, two women with the words “FOOD RIPOSTE” written on their T-shirts can be seen throwing soup at the glass protecting Leonardo da Vinci’s masterpiece and passing under a security barrier to get closer to the »

Why Didn’t MIT Expel Violent Students?

Featured image Some of the worst anti-Semitic campus outbursts of recent weeks have been at MIT. Pro-genocide activists physically prevented Jewish students from attending classes, and refused to disperse when ordered to do so by university officials. Normally you would assume that a student who engaged in such barbaric conduct would be expelled. Yet MIT has treated its anti-Semites with kid gloves. Why? MIT’s President Sally Kornbluth has now made a statement »

Sickos Interrupt Blinken Testimony

Featured image This morning, Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin testified before the Senate Appropriations Committee on behalf to the Biden administration’s supplementary funding request for Ukraine and Israel. Blinken’s testimony was repeatedly interrupted by pro-genocide protesters. The protesters timed their interruptions so that every couple of minutes the hearing would be suspended: Blinken is a partisan hack, but this outpouring of anti-Semitism was outrageous. It is »

Demonstrating For Genocide In the Heartland [Updated]

Featured image Yesterday there was a pro-genocide rally in Minneapolis that took over a major highway and illegally blocked traffic. The demonstrators stood up for baby-burning, gang rape, kidnapping and mass homicide. Just another day in a land where immigration policy has been off the rails for a long time. The invaluable Andy Ngo has the story: https://t.co/C2Dz7xdCTP — Andy Ngô 🏳️‍🌈 (@MrAndyNgo) October 23, 2023 The pro-Palestine rioters in Minneapolis chased »

Pro-Genocide Rally In Brooklyn [Updated]

Featured image This afternoon, more than 5,000 demonstrators rallied in Brooklyn, demanding an end to Jews in the Middle East: At least 5,000 anti-Israeli protesters filled the streets of Bay Ridge Saturday at a rally where they called for the eradication of the Jewish state and demanded the United States withdraw its support of its closest ally in the Middle East. “Eradication of the Jewish state” means “Death to the Jews.” “We »

Insurrection On Capitol Hill

Featured image Today, pro-Hamas insurrectionists illegally occupied the Cannon House Office Building. Capitol police made a few desultory arrests, but the illegal demonstration was allowed to continue. Logan Ratick has a series of short videos. Here are some of them: Capitol Police are just watching Cannon be overrun by protestors. This is where reporters and members of Congress do their live TV hits from pic.twitter.com/G4rC1xKLdd — Logan Ratick (@Logan_Ratick) October 18, 2023 »

France: Not All Bad

Featured image What with today being proclaimed an “International Day of Jihad,” and in view of events elsewhere, France has banned all pro-Palestinian protests in order to avert violence. They don’t have our First Amendment, and we couldn’t really do this. Still, some will find it heartwarming: France has banned all pro-Palestine protests. This group is now being run out by the Paris police. pic.twitter.com/s78zsqzIog — 🇺🇸ProudArmyBrat (@leslibless) October 12, 2023 »

Protests, Theirs and Ours

Featured image The Left has a rather schizophrenic attitude toward protests and demonstrations. Some are wonderful, like the George Floyd riots, which were not, in fact, protests at all. Or like arson and other destruction committed at pro-life facilities. Others are detestable, like the Dutch farmers’ protests, or the French “yellow vests,” or the Canadian truckers. Some protests, too, can only be ignored, like when hundreds of thousands of pro-life citizens show »

The Democrats’ Selective Authoritarianism

Featured image The Trafalgar Group has applied its unorthodox methodology to test Americans’ attitudes toward Justin Trudeau’s emergency declaration and his handling of the truckers’ protest generally. The results are striking: 55% of respondents say they disapprove of Trudeau’s handling of the protest, while only 35% say they approve. That in itself isn’t surprising. What is remarkable is the partisan split. Republicans disapprove of Trudeau’s response to the truckers’ protest by an »

In Ottawa, men on horseback

Featured image With the Trudeau government’s declaration of emergency Canada’s Emergencies Act, Canada is under a form of martial law and one-man rule. The Toronto Sun’s Joe Warmington leads his story on the latest from Ottawa with this: The violence the Prime Minister has expressed concern about during the three-week protest in Ottawa didn’t unfold until Justin Trudeau’s Emergencies Act police army was sent in to disperse the crowd. The three major »

Americans Support Trucker Protests

Featured image Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has asserted emergency powers to try to shut down the trucker protests that have embarrassed his administration and interrupted trade across the bridge between Detroit and Windsor. (One of the ironies here is that truckers are protesting against, among other things, Canadian edicts that impaired trade between the U.S. and Canada. The Babylon Bee headlined, “Trudeau Demands Protesters Stop Shutting Down City So That He Can »

Canadian truckers receive the Tea Party treatment

Featured image I haven’t commented on the protest by Canadian truckers in Ottawa. That’s John’s beat, and he’s doing a great job with it. However, I did come across this passage in a Daily Mail article about the protests: James Doull, 24, a diesel mechanic who is organizing truckers parked along Wellington Street, where many of the parliamentary and government buildings are located, claimed ‘all the stuff put out by Trudeau and »

Finally, Some Canadian Violence! [Updated]

Featured image 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 »

Desperately Seeking White Supremacists

Featured image I started to write about this story a couple of days ago, but stopped because I wasn’t sure what to make of it. I’m still not sure, but here goes anyway, for what it is worth. On Saturday afternoon there was a demonstration in Washington by a small group of identically clad and masked men, many of them carrying American flags. They reportedly were members of a group called the »

Stalking Sinema: The Biden variations

Featured image Following remarks on raising the debt ceiling yesterday — remarks whose gist was that Republicans are bad — President Biden took a few questions from the press (White House transcript here). Republicans are guilty of using “procedural tricks” and “elaborate procedural schemes” that call for numerous votes. It’s “a Republican stunt”! Republicans are “playing Russian roulette with the U.S. economy.” Bad! The stalking of Senator Sinema in the ladies’ room »
