...... ANTIFA has the full backing of the Democrat Party and is actually a part of the Democrat Base and the Democrat’s “Resistance” movement. It will be difficult to do much about them. They have already been designated a Domestic Terrorist group ..... And that move only made the Left and it’s Propaganda Machine swoon and embrace them even more.
There is no one home at the law and order ministry this year. Try again in a few years.
Antifas may soon discover that many Deplorables are rapidly losing their natural aversion to cutting human flesh, when their survival and that of loved ones is at stake.
See an armed Antifa, see angry meat with eyes bent on murder.
Opposition to Antifa should come from the Federal and states governments.
When seconds count, the police are only minutes away!
The pen _may_ be mightier than the sword, but raised eyebrows definitely are *not*.

WTF?
Agreed. Thats who I thought he was referring to as well.
They put it right behind the Seth Rich murder.
If “agitators” pounded on and cracked my door, I would have no other choice than to shoot through that door in self defense.
I would choose my .458 SOCOM for this task.
It would probably be the last time something like that happened too.
It always comes down to the fact that none of this would be going on without the support of the Borg known as the MSM.
People of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public, or in some contrivance to raise prices. - Adam Smith, Wealth of Nations (1776)The Associated Press wire is a virtual meeting of all major US journalism, and it has been in continuous operation since before the Civil War (The New York Associated Press dates to 1848). The fatuous conceit that journalisms interest is identical to the public interest is pathetically naive. Be assured that it did not take a century and a half for associated journalism to find reasons to practice on the credulity of the public.Free journalism is protected from the government by the First Amendment. But the public has a right to be able to choose to access to printed fact and opinion from sources of unrestricted provenance - which are not only free (from the government), but also independent (of private monopolistic control). That is an example of the reason for the
(which answers the objection to the inclusion of a Bill of Rights in the body of the Constitution). The authors of the Constitution and Bill of Rights did not anticipate that monopolistic private propaganda power would arise which would be able to effectively lie to the public by embargoing half the truth.
- Amendment 9:
- The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
But although the First Amendment does not anticipate the problem, the Sherman AntiTrust Act answers the purpose. Evidence abounds that Borg journalism would rather climb a tree and tell a lie than stand on the ground and tell the truth about the Democrat Party and the Republican Party. The Republican Party must sue The Associated Press and its members, joint and several liability - and the Federal Communications Commission - for triple damages as provided under Sherman. The AP should be abolished by punitive damages, and the members of the AP should be forced to act on the understanding that the laws of libel apply to their treatment of Republican politicians (and Democrats, too - not that they ever get libeled). That would entail a SCOTUS decision contrary to the 1964 NY Times v. Sullivan decision which makes it hard for pelicans to sue for libel on the basis that there is political balance in journalism.
Political balance - ideological competition - in journalism existed in the founding era, but was thin on the ground in 1964 and is essentially nonexistent now. That is in large part due to the AP. The wire service was invented to apply economies of scale to the cost of propagating news, at a time when telegraphy bandwidth was expensive. It is now dirt cheap, and in that sense wire services serve no legitimate purpose to justify the damage to ideological diversity in journalism.
If you know any "talking heads" you might have noticed they NEVER look "comfortable" outside of their work environment.
That needs to get ratcheted up to 11.
