Banta mugshot. Waupaca County, WI. We have seen the enemy, and he is a wuss. According to Wisconsin police, Matthew Banta, 23, meant trouble during a recent riot. When he was arrested in Green Bay Saturday night, Banta had in his possession a flamethrower, smoke grenades, and fireworks as he was headed to what CNN might call another “fiery but peaceful protest.” Banta evidently intended to see to the “fiery” part personally. WBAY picks up the story: The criminal complaint says Banta “is known to be a violent Antifa member who incites violence in otherwise relatively peaceful protests.” Police say...

by Greg Reynolds The suspect in an Aug. 25 AutoZone stabbing in Georgia made his first appearance in court today. And what he told the court should give leftist BLM goons -- and their Democrat allies -- pause, if they had any conscience at all. But, more likely this disturbing story will be sent down the memory hole by the national media, who will pretend it never happened, along with all the other "mostly peaceful" racist violence (32 dead nationwide by one count), rioting, looting and property destruction causes by BLM and ANTIFA Marxists over the past 3 months...

Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar called for the “dismantling” of the U.S. economy and political system Tuesday. “As long as our economy and political systems prioritize profit without considering who is profiting, who is being shut out, we will perpetuate this inequality,” Omar said. “We cannot stop at criminal justice system. We must begin the work of dismantling the whole system of oppression wherever we find it.” Omar held an event Tuesday in her home state of Minnesota with members of the Minnesota People of Color and Indigenous Caucus. Omar tweeted earlier Tuesday that the purpose of the event was...

Lately, it seems protest mobs are just waiting to pounce any time a police officer fires his weapon, always ready to instantly vilify the officer while canonizing the suspected criminal. Such was the case after San Diego police shot Leonardo Hurtado Ibarra on Saturday, sparking anti-police protests in the area, according to The San Diego Union-Tribune. The two officers involved in the shooting were driving in the city Saturday evening when they spotted Ibarra, whose face tattoos fit the description of a suspect in a robbery days prior, as he emerged from a building. They attempted to approach Ibarra on...

Here’s how it would work: In the next month or so, Biden would announce Michelle Obama as his running mate. With a little reverse engineering of the Obama-Biden bumper stickers of 2008 and 2012, they’re good to go. Michelle would immediately attract the undying worship of the national press corps. With the country still in lockdown, she can wave to Andrea Mitchell & Co. from the front door of her residences in Washington, DC ($8.1 million purchase price), Martha’s Vineyard ($11.75 million) or Chicago ($1.65 million). Barack Obama, who manfully supports his wife in all her endeavors, would joke about...

Bill Maher said it was fine to call the coronavirus the “China virus,” adding that a global pandemic was no time for political correctness. “‘What if people hear Chinese virus and blame China?’ The answer is we should blame China. We can’t afford the luxury anymore of non-judginess towards a country with habits that kill millions of people,” Maher thundered Friday in a monologue at the end of his HBO show “Real Time.” The longtime liberal said there were bigger “tainted fish to fry,” saying if the sun exploded many of the online lefties would whine about the first person...
