“He has views and he is entitled to his views,” Kaine said when I confronted him about his son’s Antifa-related arrest, after Kaine tried to pin the Charlottesville rally violence on his Republican opponent Corey Stewart in their first debate in the 2018 U.S. Senate race in Hot Springs, Virginia. Kaine maintained that his son is peaceful, and Kaine’s staffer Ian Sams, a former Hillary Clinton factotum, stepped in to shut down the line of questioning. Kaine did not answer as to whether his son is still part of any Antifa groups.

New York police K9 was filmed taking down a suspect after the man punched a police officer in the face on Friday. Randy Martinez, a 23-year-old man who lives in Newburgh, said he was leaving his house with a friend when a man, identified as Tony Mann, 31, wandered onto his driveway and threatened him with a knife. “I rolled down the window and was going to tell him he can’t be on my property, and then he takes out his knife, and I’m just like, ‘Oh, God, no. What’s going to happen?’” Martinez said he called police because he...

A restaurant in California, that refused to allow one of its employees to wear a Black Lives Matter mask during working hours, is now receiving death threats. The Girl and the Fig in Sonoma, California, was forced to close after receiving a barrage of death threats after a former waitress, Kimi Stout, complained about being refused a request to wear a BLM mask.

Former President Donald Trump’s highly anticipated second impeachment trial began on Tuesday, just a little more than a month following the riot at the U.S. Capitol Building during Congress’ certification of the 2020 election results. In his opening statements, lead impeachment manager Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) played a video montage of the events that occurred on January 6, including the speech by Donald Trump in which he encouraged his supporters to march to protest the results at the Capitol. Shortly after the montage aired and began working its way across the internet, Right Side Broadcasting Network (RSBN) tweeted footage claiming it...

While the latest Homeland Threat Assessment from the Department of Homeland Security describes white supremacists as the “most persistent and lethal threat,” not a single one of the FBI’s most wanted domestic terrorists is linked to a white supremacist or right-wing group.Adding to the confusion over the perceived threats was a bulletin issued by DHS in the last week in January warning about the threat from what it termed “domestic violent extremists.” Once again, the bulletin warns of violent extremism, but makes no mention of Antifa, despite the group once attacking an ICE facility in Portland recently. Given Antifa’s record...

A North Carolina professor says that he's struggling with his Christianity — all because of former President Donald Trump. Issac Bailey — a professor of public policy at Davidson College, a 2014 Nieman fellow at Harvard University, and published author — published a lengthy opinion piece in Newsweek in which he revealed that he is "struggling with [his] Christianity after Trump." Bailey — a self-professed lifelong Christian — wrote, "I'm struggling to hold fast to my Christianity — because of Donald Trump. Not exactly Trump himself, though, but the undying support of the self-professed Christian pro-life movement that he enjoyed."...

I think some of the probably most relevant information for readers is some of the primary documents that I released for the first time, from somebody who was in the membership process for one of the largest Antifa groups in the U.S. You will see in there that the curriculum includes the radicalization process that lasts for nearly half the year. So they really subject their recruits to really intense indoctrination and brainwashing. And, as part of the curriculum, they also train them on how to hurt and maim and injure their opponents, and also how to take up arms.

Days before former President Trump's impeachment trial begins, newly filed federal charges against anti-government activists offer fresh, compelling evidence that the accused perpetrators of the Capitol riots pre-planned their attack days and weeks in advance and in plain sight of an FBI that vowed to be vigilant to extremist threats. A dozen FBI affidavits supporting charges against the more than 200 defendants show rioters engaged in advance planning on social media sites. The planning included training, casing sites, identifying commanders on scene, and requests for donations of cash, as well as combat and communication gear. More than a half dozen...

There is an alternate universe out there in which we never have to ponder, let alone read, “Unmasked,” provocateur Andy Ngo’s supremely dishonest new book on the left-wing anti-fascist movement known as antifa. In that other world far, far away, Marjorie Taylor Greene remains a nutty CrossFit enthusiast from Georgia, not a member of Congress, and we know nothing of her musings on Jewish space lasers, the execution of Democrats or “false flag” school shootings. If you find that universe, please send directions. Coming as it does in this weary universe of ours, a month after pro-Trump insurrectionists stormed the...

On Saturday, a Black Lives Matter march through the streets of Washington, D.C., involved protesters dressed in antifa black bloc and threatening to burn down the nation’s capital if their demands were not met.“If we don’t get it, burn it down!” the mob chanted, seemingly referring to $2,000 individual checks in the COVID-19 relief bill Democrats are spearheading in Congress.Chants of “If we don’t get it, burn it down” as the march continues in DC tonight #DC #DCProtests #WashingtonDC pic.twitter.com/YMxy90P4oj— Brendan Gutenschwager (@BGOnTheScene) February 7, 2021Protesters gathered at 2 p.m. for a “DC Queer and Trans Black History Month March...

No, Trump Supporters weren’t the ones instigating the Capitol riots on January 6th. Not only Antifa, but Ukrainian neo-Nazis were there instigating and partaking in violent activities as well. Antifa, the group of domestic terrorists that tore apart cities in the US in 2020, ended up causing $2 billion in damage. It’s no surprise then to find out that Antifa’s roots are in communists and Nazis in Europe: ... The day after the riot at the Capitol the Ukrainians reported that Russia was behind the effort because they supported President Trump. They also proved that they were at the Capitol...

In fact, the group was really just a modern re-envisioned version of the original “Antifaschistische Aktion” – which was established by the Communist Party of Germany to counter the growing Nazi movement in Germany in the early 1930s. When Adolf Hitler took power in 1933, the group went underground. As the Second World War turned against the Nazis, groups such as Antifaschistische Aktion, Antifaschistische Ausschüsse, or Antifaschistische Kommittees remerged – all were typically abbreviated to “Antifa” – essentially meaning “anti-fascist.”

Incoming Biden Administration Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III is ordering all military personnel to "stand down while we conduct a thorough evaluation of the fitness to serve of everyone currently in uniform. It appears that several of the January 6th insurrectionists were former soldiers or sailors. Though there is no evidence of widespread disloyalty thus far, we can't afford to be taken by surprise. All are suspect until we can prove otherwise." The "thorough evaluation" is expected to include political affiliation, voting behavior, social media posts, public comments, and tattoos. "To those who say we are being paranoid...

Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming on Sunday reaffirmed her decision to impeach former President Donald Trump and said she would not resign from her seat. During an appearance on "Fox News Sunday," Cheney, the No. 3 House Republican, said that she felt "compelled" to support Trump's removal. "I think people all across Wyoming understand and recognize that our duty is to the Constitution," she said in response to being formally censured by the Wyoming Republican Party on February 6. "The oath that I took to the Constitution compelled me to vote for impeachment and it doesn't bend to partisanship, it...
