Far-left Portland city councilwoman accused of stolen valor after military record questioned A recent poll showed that 49 percent of likely voters said they’d vote for Gonzalez, a lawyer, and technology business owner, compared to 22 percent for Hardesty, an anti-police, pro-Antifa, one-term incumbent. In a city council meeting on Thursday, far-left Portland City Commissioner Jo Ann Hardesty, who is running for reelection, was accused of stolen valor. Hardesty has also called on her challenger Rene Gonzalez to "denounce" The Post Millennial’s editor-at-large Andy Ngo for his coverage of her. The official Twitter account for Hardesty’s re-election posted on Thursday...

Assassin was apparently named "Sophie" and made the wrong choice.

What sort of sick, twisted SOB claims to be the uncle of a dead student to play politics? This sort of sick, twisted SOB … that’s who. As Twitchy readers know, Keith Olbermann was pushing some ridiculous story about Gov. Abbott trying to force the family of one of the slain students in the Uvalde shooting to take a picture with him proving they don’t blame him or want guns banned. Yeah, this sounds stupid already, it gets stupider. Well, according to the story shared by the ‘uncle’ of this poor student, the ‘representatives’ Abbott sent became hostile and even...

On Monday, former Republican and ex-congressman Joe Walsh fabricated a Tucker Carlson quote on Twitter. It immediately caught the attention of Democrats and anti-Trump Republicans who hope to see the Fox News host canceled. Walsh attributed the following statement to Carlson: "What if these bodies of tortured, dead civilians were staged? What if they're fake? What if the Ukrainian military killed them and then blamed Russia? I'm not saying any of this is true, I'm just asking the questions. Why can't we ask these questions?" The quote repeating Russia's propaganda and denial of war crimes in Bucha, Ukraine, instantly went...

A blood-like streak accompanied the graffiti death threat against Ngo. ... In front of the Mark O. Hatfield federal courthouse in downtown Portland, someone wrote the threatening message, "Kill Andy Ngo," in red paint on the Soldiers Monument.

Antifa symbols were also sprayed around the park. ... The federal...

BLM privilege and Jan. 6 Capitol riot shame When prominent young far-left activist Quintez Brown was arrested last week for allegedly trying to assassinate a Jewish mayoral candidate in Kentucky, he was portrayed sympathetically by the media and immediately bailed out of jail by his Black Lives Matter comrades, who crowdfunded the $100,000 cost. Brown, 21, had BLM privilege. A celebrated gun control advocate, anointed as a rising star by the Obama Foundation, he was an honored guest on Joy Reid’s MSNBC show. He was granted a biweekly opinion column in the Louisville Courier-Journal to spew boilerplate leftist, race-based, anti-cop...

MAJOR shooting in Portland after Antifa Gathering. Police say armed homeowner CLASHED with protestors. Andy Ngo EXPOSES the antifa members involved. 5 injured and 1 dead officials report. Terrible times.

Republican students at a New Hampshire Ivy League college say the school’s administration deserted them and made false and embarrassing allegations against them in order to avoid bad publicity by canceling an event under heavy protest by the far-left extremist group Antifa. The live event scheduled at Dartmouth College was called “Extremism in America” and was to feature conservative personality Andy Ngo, who has been violently attacked by Antifa in the past. Antifa and its sympathizers made several threats against the event including offering money to anyone who assaulted Ngo. A local group called Dartmouth Anarchists also posted violent insinuation...

I was scheduled to speak last week at Dartmouth College by invitation of the chapter College Republicans and Turning Point USA. The Thursday “Extremism in America” event was meant to highlight America’s long history with far-left violent extremism, a subject politicians and media oft ignore and deny. Gabriel Nadales, a former member of California militant leftist groups, was the co-speaker. But we never got to step on stage to a live audience. Soon after the event was announced, Antifa and its army of online trolls threatened violence to shut it down. In turn, Dartmouth administrators gave the extremists exactly what...

The Oregon State Court of Appeals denied an Antifa member's request to stop journalist Andy Ngo's lawsuit against Rose City Antifa from being amended. Defendant and appellant Benjamin Bolen, an Antifa extremist accused of assaulting Ngo at a Portland May Day riot in 2019, had appealed a limited judgement denying his special motion to strike and sought review of the trial court's order granting motion for leave to amend his complaint. "BOOM! Update on my lawsuit against #Antifa: Oregon Court of Appeals denied defendant Benjamin Bolen's request to stop the lawsuit from being amended (stay tuned for updates). Bolen, an...

Shocking video recorded in Minneapolis shows a group of Somali youths in Islamic clothing forcing their way inside an apartment to beat two women.

In early July, a viral video showed a woman berating the staff at Wi Spa, a Korean family spa in Los Angeles, for letting a naked man in the women's and children's area. The staff was helpless to stop that because California law mandates that so-called "transgender women" (i.e., men) can go anywhere women can go. Andy Ngo now has the follow-up: the man who frequented the women's and children's area at the Wi Spa is a serial sex offender. Is anyone reading those words surprised? The left is trying hard to convince people that human biology is meaningless. Men...

Winston Marshall, a founding member of folk-rock group Mumford & Sons, announced Thursday that is leaving the band so that he can “speak freely” about political issues. Marshall took a break from the band in March after sparking a social media storm by tweeting admiration for “Unmasked,” a book by right-wing writer-activist Andy Ngo that attacked far-left militant groups collectively known as antifa. Marshall was accused online of endorsing the far right, but said Thursday that “nothing could be further from the truth. I condemn unequivocally all political extremism, be it of the Right or Left.”

Antifa activists brought chaos as they descended Friday on the annual Western Conservative Summit in Denver, drawn by favorite targets such as Oregon journalist Andy Ngo and Rep. Lauren Boebert, Colorado Republican. Videos posted by Mr. Ngo and the Blaze’s Elijah Schaffer showed multiple altercations, including a brawl between a man who confronted dozens of protesters outside the Hyatt Regency Denver, site of the two-day conference hosted by the Centennial Institute. Protesters, some with bullhorns, harassed people entering and exiting the hotel. Activists blocked traffic, prompting one driver to jump out of her car and accuse them of throwing a...

Two black vandals who were too stupid to know how to properly draw a swastika turned out to be hate hoaxsters perpetrating another blood libel against white people. The two vandals repeatedly targeted a black-owned auto repair shop in Spring Lake, N.C. and were exposed after he installed security cameras. Black business owner Dwyane Haynesworth has had to deal with repeated instances of robbery and vandalism for over a month shortly after opening his new business. One vehicle was even stolen off of his property. He was perplexed as to why he was targeted.
