Senators Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Bill Cassidy, M.D. (R-LA) introduced a resolution Thursday that would label Antifa a “domestic terrorist organization.” “Whereas members of Antifa, because they believe that free speech is equivalent to violence, have used threats of violence in the pursuit of suppressing opposing political ideologies,” the resolution states. The resolution continues....:

Portland Antifa is planning a memorial for the terrorist, who attacked a migrant detention center with an AR-15 rifle and Molotov cocktails, tonight calling him a “fallen comrade”. After the horrifying attack on a migrant detention center that, had it not been foiled by local authorities, could have resulted in the deaths of law enforcement as well as migrants, Portland Antifa has sided with terror and is planning a vigil for Willem Van Spronsen. The pro-Antifa Twitter account @OccupyICEPDX posted information about the memorial today, inviting residents of Portland to “Stand with us to honor our fallen comrade, #WillemVanSpronsen, this...

Freshman Communist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY) on Monday refused to condemn the terrorist attack carried out by a violent member of Antifa over the weekend. An armed Antifa terrorist was shot dead Saturday morning after trying to attack an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) center in Tacoma, Washington. The man killed in Saturday’s terror attack on an ICE detention facility in Tacoma was identified as Willem Van Spronsen, a man with a record of attacking police during a protest at the facility a year ago. Antifa activists claimed the attacker as one of their own. Willem Von Spronsen was armed...

A new Gallup poll shines a spotlight on the deep political divide in America and surely points to what the upcoming presidential election will be about. Gallup asked, "How proud are you to be an American?" Seventy-six percent of Republicans said "extremely proud" compared with 22 percent of Democrats. Broken down by age, 63% of those over 65 said "extremely proud," and only 24% of those 18 to 29. This tells us something about Nike's recent move to pull its Betsy Ross flag sneakers from the marketplace, having taken guidance from its ex-football star anti-hero, now-Nike corporate spokesman, Colin Kaepernick....

Media Research Center founder Brent Bozell is calling for Facebook to de-platform Antifa on the heels of conservative writer Andy Ngo being attacked by members of the group in Portland, Ore. on Saturday. "The Department of Homeland Security has formally classified their activities as domestic terrorist violence. It is an amazing thing, to me, that Facebook thinks it is perfectly fine to have domestic terrorists on their site and not remove them,” Bozell told Fox News. “Antifa needs to be de-platformed. This is a mistake and I hope Facebook rethinks it." ... Antifa has a Facebook group with over 4,500...

Portland Police Association President Daryl Turner called on the mayor to let officers do their job during protests. ... "Where are the voices condemning the lawlessness and violence?" Turner asked. "If this violence had been directed at Antifa, there would have been an immediate call for an independent, outside investigation. This is a perfect example of Portland politics at work and why our great city is now under fire in the national news." "The Mayor, our Police Commissioner, is not allowed to use the rank and file officers of the Portland Police Bureau as a shield to deflect Portland's negative...

Antifa reportedly planning acid attack during Free Speech Rally in D.C.; former Antifa member Gabriel Nadales reacts. ...

On June 29 at a large protest in Portland, Oregon, the thugs who make up the ranks of Antifa did what they do best — attack and injure innocent civilians for no apparent reason whatsoever. And, according to Law Enforcement Today, they’re ready for round two at an upcoming July 6 free speech rally hosted by the far-right “Proud Boys” organization set to take place in Washington D.C. But this time, they’re reportedly preparing to take their attacks to the next level by weaponizing acid. Apparently, a member of Antifa by the name of “Pound On Your Boy” posted a...

The lawyer for independent journalist Andy Ngo, who was allegedly beaten up and robbed by antifa members while covering a protest in Portland, Ore., on Saturday, says those responsible for the attack are going to face maximum legal repercussions. “Goodnight everyone except Antifa criminals who I plan to sue into oblivion and then sow salt into their yoga studios and avocado toast stands until nothing grows there, not even the glimmer of a violent criminal conspiracy aided by the effete impotence of a cowed city government,” Harmeet Dhillon wrote on Twitter. After Ngo was admitted to a local hospital following...

Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler (D-Ore.) is facing backlash for his continued tolerance of Antifa violence in his city, following the attack of Quillette reporter Andy Ngo.

Antifa showed up at Tucker Carlson’s home last November when his wife was home alone. She hid in the closet as they slammed on the door, breaking, damaging property, and screaming to disturb the neighbors. Since then Fox News has boycotted Twitter for their part in disseminating Tucker’s home address and allowing Antifa to torch him viciously on the site, even threatening him physically. Antifa is now plastering posters around D.C. targeting Tucker and his family by listing his home address. Parts of D.C. are hellholes. God only knows what lunatics will show up and cause problems for his family...

Former Vice President Joe Biden endorsed Antifa in a video announcing his presidential bid Thursday, characterizing the group as “courageous” and saying it’s wrong to draw a moral equivalence between white nationalist groups and those opposing them. The violent methods of Antifa are well documented. The nebulous group often uses these violent means against peaceful conservative speakers, benign free speech advocates, and even journalists. In a retelling of the events at a 2017 white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Va., Biden describes the white nationalists as having “crazed faces, illuminated by torches, veins bulging and baring the fangs of racism,” but...

These have included verbal threats and abuse, death threats, beatings with clubs, chains, fists, and kicking, and shootings.

"...as has been the theme throughout much of the first three weeks of the NFL season, roughing the passer penalties were a significant storyline from Monday’s game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Bucs, Steelers set new mark for roughing penalties Officials called four roughing penalties during Pittsburgh’s 30-27 win on Monday, which is tied for most in the league in one game since 2001, according to ESPN. While a couple of them were fairly clear violations of contact with the quarterback’s head, others appeared to fall into the vague new definition of the foul that penalizes defenders...

When Turlock, California’s Pitman High School was coming up with a list for its inaugural athletic hall of fame class, it probably didn’t take long before they got to former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick. Twelve years after he graduated from Pitman, five years after he led the San Francisco 49ers to within inches of a Super Bowl title and one year after GQ named him its Citizen of the Year for his highly publicized social activism, Kaepernick will headline his prep alma mater’s first hall of fame class. Kaepernick is expected to attend the ceremony along with eight other inductees...

The far-right groups stood across the street and laughed as they watched police deploy explosive devices on their adversaries. In the latest episode of a familiar, violent dance, Portland police deployed explosive devices and chemical irritants at antifascist protesters who arrived on the waterfront to confront right-wing marchers.

Shortly before 2 pm, police gave multiple orders for people standing at Southwest Naito Parkway and Columbia Street to...
