With a number of Democrat-run cities already ravaged by “unrest in the streets,” Squad Member Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) got on national television and called for more — and MSNBC anchor Tiffany Cross agreed with her. “There needs to be unrest in the streets for as long as there’s unrest in our lives, and unfortunately, there’s plenty to go around,” Pressley told MSNBC over the weekend. To which the MSNBC anchor responded with, “I have no retort to that. That is certainly accurate.” A lunatic congresswoman called for more “unrest in the streets,” even with Portland and Seattle basically on...

In a flash, it’s been blown away, revealing the barbarism beneath. The seeds of destruction were planted long ago. SNIP The point was never to fixate on the sins of the ancient slaveholder, or the European discoverer of America, or the author of Don Quixote. Nor was the point to topple the bad in order to commission the better to take its place. (After all, for these statue-topplers, what icon might be substituted, given the array of their progressive heroes such as Wilsonian racists, mass-murdering Maoists, thugs masquerading as revolutionaries such as Che, or liberal icons like the eugenicist Margaret...

A man appeared to have been punched and kicked unconscious by demonstrators just blocks away from a peaceful protest in Portland, as unrest continued in Oregon’s biggest city. Multiple videos posted online apparently showed the man sitting in the street next to a truck he had been driving, which had crashed and come to a stop on a sidewalk on Sunday night, news outlets reported. People were crowded around the man and he appeared to have been punched at least once and later kicked in the head – knocking him flat. The man was taken to a hospital with serious...

<p>Roving gangs of Antifa rioters spent Friday evening rampaging through the streets of Seattle — with police often nowhere to be found, video and eyewitness accounts show.</p> <p>Video shared by journalist Andy Ngo shows mobs of individuals clad in black destroying property, smashing windows and spray painting anything in sight, all with impunity.</p>

On MSNBC's AM Joy show today, Ayanna Pressley, a Democrat congresswoman from Massachusetts and member of The Squad, said: "I'm looking to the public . . . There needs to be unrest in the streets for as long as there is unrest in our lives. And unfortunately, there's plenty to go around." Was Pressley fomenting violence? She certainly was inciting "unrest"—with no end in sight. Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

A radical group credited with organizing anti-police rallies in Portland openly cheers violence and explicitly rejects efforts to keep protests peaceful, a Daily Caller News Foundation review found. The Youth Liberation Front is credited with organizing protests in Portland last week that extended into the early morning hours and turned violent, The Seattle Times and the Associated Press have reported. Portland police declared riots on multiple nights throughout the week. The radical group’s goals extend far beyond changing policies and even beyond abolishing the police, as noted in a July 8 tweet: “we don’t want to be led, and we...

The new DA will decline to prosecute a list of offenses Multnomah County District Attorney Mike Schmidt announced that his office would decline to press charges against protesters and rioters in the demonstrations in Portland, Oregon. Schmidt made the announcement Tuesday at his first media briefing since assuming the office on Aug. 1. Schmidt said in his statement that the policy change was intended to make society more equable. "If we leverage the full force of the criminal justice system on individuals who are peacefully protesting and demanding to be heard, we will cause irreparable harm to them individually and...

New York City rifle permit applications and pistol license requests have surged this year, according to New York Police Department (NYPD) data obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation. NYC residents submitted nearly 149% more handgun permits and nearly 340% more rifle/shotgun permits from Jan. 1 to June 28 compared to the same period in 2019, according to data provided to the DCNF by NYPD spokeswoman Sgt.

Describing the current assault on law enforcement as a spiritual battle between good and evil, former national security adviser Michael Flynn is urging Christians not only to pray but to take action. "When the destiny of the United States is at stake, and it is, the very future of the entire world is threatened," Flynn wrote in a guest column published exclusively by the Western Journal.

BOBBIE JO AND THE BEATNIK: Bobbie Jo brings home a mad-at-the-world young poet and slacker who has won her heart. The Beatnik is played by a young DENNIS HOPPER.

I’m voting for Trump again this time and am very happy with him as our President. However, I feel he is going to lose the election albeit illegally. There is no way we can overcome the combination of the coming mail-in voter fraud and accompanying ballot harvesting that will occur in old folks homes, both facilitated by democrat operatives. That said, the vote tally likely won’t matter in the end anyway. Why is this? Due to the mail-in voting debacle the results of the election won’t be known for weeks and probably in reality months. The counting of votes will...

In a free society, citizens should be able to easily distinguish between civilian law enforcement tasked with keeping the peace in our communities and the armed forces tasked with protecting our country from foreign adversaries. Unfortunately, thanks to the federal government flooding our neighborhoods with billions of dollars of military equipment and property over the years, the line between peace officer and soldier of war has become increasingly blurry. Police officers have an incredibly difficult and often thankless job where they lay their lives on the line every day. Without the rule of law, a civilized society cannot exist, and...

On Wednesday, Best told reporters that officers saw a van following a group of protesters around 4:30 p.m. Saturday, before it stopped outside the East Precinct. At about the same time, she said, explosions started going off outside the precinct. Best said a witness later told police they had seen baseball bats and explosives inside the same van earlier in the day. Police later impounded the van and, after obtaining a search warrant, discovered firework pyrotechnics, smoke bombs, stun guns, bear and pepper spray, makeshift spike strips and gas masks, Best said… Seattle Police Sgt. James Lee, who works with...

YES, Trump can send Federal agents to the States against protesters to protect Federal assets. BUSH DID!!! HOW soon we forget. Spring, 2001 Klamath Falls, Oregon. Gale Norton, head of Interior for the GW Bush Administration, shut off the water supply to hundreds of farmers in the Klamath Basin to save her nonsense Sucker Fish. She was a misguided enviromentalist of the right. Along with 20,000 patriots, we marched the streets of Klamath Falls, Oregon to protest the taking of property belonging to us. From there a few hundred took up residence at the Head gate landing of the irrigation...

I recently watched a Prophecy Watchers video of Gary Stearman interviewing Dr. Ken Johnson, author of The Ancient Dead Sea Scroll Calendar: And The Prophecies It Reveals. During the interview, Johnson said one scroll that is believed to be written by the Essenes says, “It’s a serious sin to ignore Bible prophecy.” There are at least 10 different verses in the Bible that tell everyone to watch for the return of Jesus. To know to do something and not do it is a sin (Matt. 7:26; James 4:17). I believe Satan’s world government is shaping up, and here are several...

UPDATE: This has been declared an unlawful protest. Everyone needs to leave the area immediately. If you remain, you are subject to arrest.

Little has been more disconcerting than the images out of Portland. A mayor gassed by the federal government. Mysterious men in camo sweeping the city like a video game, pushing citizens into unmarked vans with the authority of sticks and guns.

As a deadly pandemic resurges in Washington, city leaders in Seattle are preparing for a weekend of probable Portland-level conflict between newly arrived federal agents, the Seattle Police Department, and...let's call them.................groups of demonstrators using different strategies to protest police brutality and a capitalist, white supremacist, colonialist patriarchy that relies on state violence to sustain itself. **SNIP** Durkan asked the city to "stand together to denounce" a group of protesters who busted up and lit fires within businesses and public buildings last Sunday afternoon and Wednesday night. She said this "relatively small" group is "bent on destruction," and referenced social...

At the end of May, rioting and looting broke out in Portland, Ore., as it did in dozens of other American cities in response to the police-involved death of George Floyd. In one night, hundreds of rioters ravaged downtown, breaking into jewelry stores, the mall and banks. They left a trail of broken windows and fires in their wake. That was seven weeks ago. And while violent protests have ebbed or stopped everywhere else, it has continued and grown stronger in Portland. For 58 days, mass protests and riots have taken over parts of the city. Some streets and areas...

There is a poem written many years ago by Irish poet William Butler Yeats that I reread recently and it made my hair stand on end. This poem named "The Second Coming" caught the spirit of our human condition which never fails to repeat itself when culture,virtues,national values founded upon Eternal values fade away.
