It's taken some time to properly gather my thoughts after Charlie Kirk's Assassination, and particularly around the aftermath. I started with making the theme of my Week in Radical Leftism roundup, asking if a Civil War is now inevitable. The quick summary is that the post didn't look at Democrats as a whole around the country, but rather how the Democratic Party's leadership has been acting since President Trump's return to office. Tonight I want to talk about what I've observed both in articles as well as what I've seen from people I know personally in my social media feeds....

Wednesday on CNN’s “OutFront,” Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass (D) said the Trump administration wanted to “go in primarily inner city communities and shoot people.” Host Erin Burnett said, “White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, speaking to law enforcement officials in Memphis, telling the officers that they, along with their guns, are now, quote, unleashed amid a federal crackdown on crime.” Miller said, “I see the guns and badges in this room. You are unleashed.”

Mark Carney’s Liberal government appears to be employing Antifa extremists inside federal institutions — even within our national defence system. At Rebel News, we did what the Montreal police should have done. We launched a reward campaign to identify and track down the thug who thought he could get away with attacking Sean Feucht's Christian worship service with incendiary smoke bombs. Not only did we find him — but what we uncovered may expose one of the most alarming national security breaches in recent Canadian history. The alleged smoke bomber is Gabriel Lepage, an employee of the Longue-Pointe military base...

A protester berating United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in Massachusetts found her car in a lake, according to video posted by Fox News reporter Bill Melugin. The incident occurred in Upton, Massachusetts, where a woman began shouting at ICE agents who were taking at least one illegal immigrant into custody, according to Fox News. Melugin obtained the photo and 11-second video from a source within ICE. “Well, that sucks. Look at that, Lucy. Her car got lost,” an agent said on the video after the car, a gray or silver crossover, rolled into the lake and began...

You need conservatives to be afraid of getting killed when they go to events so they look to their leadership to turn down the temperature,” Bonnell said. “The issue is right now they don’t feel like there is any fear – like, I don’t know

The invasion of a sovereign nation is an act of war. So it should come as no surprise to see weapons used against those tasked with defending the country being invaded: Federal authorities said four people were taken into custody after a laser pointer was aimed at a Department of Homeland Security helicopter in Portland — all illegal aliens. The FBI Portland Division said the incident happened on Saturday evening. Agents said a Customs and Border Protection helicopter was conducting law enforcement operations when it was struck by the laser. Lasers can incapacitate pilots, with potentially disastrous consequences. That’s the...

The tolerant left makes death threats....

Two recent House votes reveal a troubling trend about the current stance of one of America’s major political parties.In June, following the assassination of Minnesota legislator Melissa Hortman, a Democrat, the House acted swiftly and unanimously to condemn political violence. The vote was clear and bipartisan, with every member present indicating that killing a public official is beyond partisan bounds.Weeks later, after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, a resolution to condemn his murder and reject political violence split the House.Leadership urged support, but many Democrats voted no, abstained, or stayed away. Progressive leaders used the moment to disparage Kirk’s life...

If the leftists controlling the justice system in New York would convict Donald Trump on 34 felony charges of not really anything, what would they do to an actual criminal? If the criminal shares their ideology, nothing: Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office has declined to prosecute a woman who left a pro-life activist bloodied during a street interview in New York City earlier this year, according to attorneys from the Thomas More Society. New York police arrested Brianna J. Rivers, 30, in April on one count of second-degree assault after she sucker punched activist Savannah Craven Antao during a...

or years, we were told by government officials and outside “experts” that the terrorists in our midst were mostly right-wing fanatics – a list that under the Biden administration came to include parents who spoke up at local school board meetings and Catholics who like the Latin mass. But even the left is now admitting what everyone else already knows. Namely, that despite their constant bleating about tolerance and peace, it’s leftists who pose the greatest threat to Americans. This week, the Trump-hating Atlantic magazine published an article titled “Left-Wing Terrorism Is on the Rise,” written by scholars at the...

An active shooter situation has been reported in Southport, North Carolina, according to social media posts. Local residents are being advised to steer clear of the area as law enforcement investigates. Claims on Facebook suggest that multiple individuals have been injured, with one post reporting the sighting of six ambulances and a significant police presence. The city of Southport disclosed on Facebook that there were reports of an active shooter at the Southport Yacht Basin. "There is an unknown number of injuries. Avoid the area and remain in your homes. Please report any suspicious activity immediately to 911," the post...

A Trump administration official was physically assaulted by a “deranged leftist” inside the United Nations Thursday afternoon during the gathering of the UN General Assembly, Fox News Digital has learned. An official working in international relations for the Department of Health and Human Services was in New York City serving in a support role for HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and the department’s leadership team at UNGA. “An HHS official was followed into a bathroom, recorded, physically assaulted and verbally accosted by a deranged leftist at the UN who somehow entered the venue past multiple layers of security,” White...

Left-wing terror attacks are on track to reach record highs this year — as Democrats have been accused of ramping up their harmful rhetoric in their opposition to the Trump administration, a disturbing new study has found. Violent plots planned or perpetrated by the far left in the US, as a percentage of all terrorist attacks and plots, hit a record high in the first half of 2025, and are on pace to reach a three-decade high, according to a study from the Center for Strategic & International Studies. Through July 4, 2025 — thus excluding the assassination of Charlie...

The Secret Service said it is looking into a video of a California man who openly called for the murder of President Donald Trump on camera. The shocking clip was shared by Shane Ginsberg, who runs The Street Poller, to his X profile showing his interaction with the unknown man. 'F*** Donald Trump, he's racist and he's a pedophile', the man said to Ginsberg who informed him that Trump would remain in power for the next three years. Unfazed, the man shockingly continued: 'We already killed his friend, and the next one is Donald Trump. You'll be next to for...

Two years ago, after some medical treatment following my third heart attack following the Mark Steyn Adriatic Cruise, I took a cab to Milan's central station to board one of the most agreeable trains I've ever ridden. The dining car had an excellent wine list, better than most restaurants.I don't recall the station being quite as impressive as the train, but it had a handsome atrium. I remember standing awhile and looking up at the ceiling. I wouldn't do that today, because I might fail to spot the incoming projectile and duck in time. This was the scene yesterday:(video at...

The directive suggests prosecutors consider a wide range of charges against Soros-funded Open Society Foundations including racketeering, arson, wire fraud and material support for terrorism. The group denounced the accusations as 'politically motivated attacks on civil society, meant to silence speech the administration disagrees with and undermine the First Amendment right to free speech.'

Last night at at TPUSA event featuring Megyn Kelly, who was supposed to be accompanied by the late Charlie Kirk, a student said Trump contributes to the rhetoric that got Charlie killed. He cited a study that indicates much more of the political violence in America is motivated by right-wing ideology. The truth is that this study cherry-picks a timeframe that gets the author where she wanted to go. Also, thanks to social media and how it has so fundamentally reshaped the media power dynamic in this country, much of this study is simply antiquated. In short, social media has...

If you have to resort to violence, you’ve lost the debate. The assassination of Charlie Kirk two weeks ago was a case in point. They couldn’t defeat him at debate, so they killed him. Charlie’s slogan, as seen on the white tent he was in when he was shot, says it all, “Prove me wrong.” Anybody who may claim he was “proved wrong” by being shot subscribes to the view that might makes right. I once read about an English tourist visiting China about a 100 years ago recounts how two laborers were having a heated argument in the street....

On Wednesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Katy Tur Reports,” MSNBC Security and Intelligence Analyst Christopher O’Leary discussed the shooting at an ICE facility in Texas and said that while people should tone down their rhetoric, “you also have to start looking at what policies you’ve implemented and what tactics you’re using, because, if you tone down the rhetoric, but you leave those other pieces in place, nothing’s going to change.”
