    While the police cleared the Ambassador Bridge earlier on Sunday and arrested some of the Freedom Convoy protests who had been protesting there, some protesters still remained in the surrounding streets, refusing to leave. Now, if the point was that they were blocking part of the Bridge and the Canadian government wanted it cleared, it is now clear. Yet, the government showed that wasn’t the only reason for targeting the people — since they are still going after protesters.This was the report of what happened during the earlier action.My colleague @markgollom just heard from police:– 12 arrests, most charged with...

    Yesterday two healthcare workers from a Denver-area hospital blocked lines of trucks and cars campaigning against the state government’s COVID-19 stay-at-home order. Hundreds of protesters defied social distancing laws on Sunday and gathered at the Colorado State Capitol in Denver calling for lockdown measures to be lifted and for nonessential businesses to reopen. Video below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUi7vjs9n9w&feature=emb_title By Monday morning local time, ‘Go to China’ was trending on Twitter in the United States as many took to the platform to share and discuss the protester’s controversial remarks. Few American patriots did ask the question: Are The Healthcare Workers In Colorado Who...

    WASHINGTON — Security surrounding the inauguration of Donald J. Trump is proving to be the most challenging in recent history, according to senior officials involved in its planning, largely because of the same forces of political rancor that shaped the race for the presidency.On top of the daunting threats to any inaugural ceremony, the three dozen agencies responsible for security at the Jan. 20 festivities are preparing for the possibility of large numbers of protesters flooding the capital, along with what may be nearly a million supporters of Mr. Trump.The agencies are worried about the possibility of confrontations between groups...

    Call it a war. A war of words, a war of signs. The debate on the war - the one in Iraq - boiled in downtown Durango on Friday. On the west sidewalk of Main Avenue, high school age war supporters waved American flags and shouted pro-Bush slogans. A portable CD player spun Toby Keith’s pro-war anthem, “Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue.”

    With the MOAB as inspiration (and previous experience BUILDING morale cheering on high school football) everyone across the country could rally quite simply. This would give everyone who can't make it to Crawford an opportunity to actively be a part of the NOT SO SILENT MAJORITY and support the caravan. It would make quite a statement to have these pop up all over the country: It only takes one double bedsheet and a can of spray paint, four stones and some twine. Pin the sheet to the clothesline- or go ahead and tie it to two trees in the front...

    DUVALL — Listeners of conservative radio station KVI-AM (570) are going pre-emptive against the peace movement, crashing rallies and overwhelming them with their numbers to where peace demonstrators complain that the informal rules of engagement have been violated. "It seems a little bit like a cheap shot, when they target your time and place," said Dave Meeds, 62, of Monroe, who held a "Power Corrupts" sign this week several hundred yards south of the intersection of the Woodinville-Duvall Road and Highway 203. If nothing else, the encounters are reshaping the protest landscape and in some cases have resulted in conflict....

    For a short time Saturday afternoon, Feb. 22, Adobe Road near Twentynine Palms City Hall became a focal point for the nation's debate over war with Iraq. With out-of-town media having a field day, opposing camps of protesters lined either side of Adobe Road with signs and flags and proclamations for all those who drove or walked by. Preparations for the day's events began when a group of Twentynine Palms residents made plans for a peace vigil on the sidewalk in front of Stanley Park, a small park located between City Hall and the Twentynine Palms Branch Library. A counter...
