Looks like Black Lives Matter violence has made the natural progression from rioting, vandalism, and public beatings to attempted assassinations. From the New York Post: Enrique Tarrio told the Gateway Pundit that he was slashed in the stomach, while “multiple other members” were injured, including a man stabbed in the neck and a woman with them stabbed in the back. Enrique Tarrio is chairman of Proud Boys International and Florida state director of Latinos for Trump. The Proud Boys are the anti–Black Lives Matter: race-neutral instead of racist and pro-American instead of anti-American. The group said they were heading home...

Short Highlight — ‘It’s time to stand up and fight, while you still have your freedoms’

A Black woman opposing the Black Lives Matter movement, who was arrested Saturday for dumping paint on a BLM street mural outside Trump Tower, livestreamed herself doing the same thing again at similar murals in Harlem and Brooklyn later that evening. Bevelyn Beatty, 29, livestreamed each installment on her Facebook page. In her most recent post, Beatty recounted covering up parts of the murals with paint. “Ya’ll, we did an all-nighter,” Beatty says in a Sunday Facebook post. “Let me tell you something, yesterday was epic.” Beatty could be seen in the first livestream smearing paint outside the Midtown skyscraper,...

The Russians hacked the Oscars causing Warren Beatty to be the patsy in the rigged vote.

Herzog exercised his right to remain silent during the investigation, which was closed because there was not enough evidence to press charges. A public campaign to change the political leadership is the Left’s corrupt attempt to buy an election victory, a Likud campaign said Saturday. The comments referred to V15, an organization dedicated to bringing political change that is partnered with OneVoice Israel, which works with Israelis and Palestinians to lobby their political leadership to bring about a two-state solution. The Likud said V15’s activities break campaign finance laws, comparing them to the “Barak nonprofits affair,” in which former prime...

Pelosi, Beatty tour to defend health-care reformBy Emily Wilkins The Columbus Dispatch Friday August 17, 2012 6:09 AM Nancy Pelosi ripped criticism of the federal health-care law by GOP presidential ticket Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan as “not true” during an appearance yesterday in Columbus. The U.S. House minority leader defended the Affordable Care Act at a panel she attended with Joyce Beatty, Democratic candidate for Ohio’s 3rd Congressional District. Ryan, who spoke at Ohio’s Miami University this week, said President Barack Obama had “raided” the Medicare budget and taken $716 billion to fund the Affordable Care Act. “The Ryan...

The eldest daughter of Warren Beatty and Annette Bening is living as a young man after changing her name. Kathlyn Beatty, 18, is now known as Stephen Ira and is said to be planning a sex-change operation. According to reports in the U.S., Hollywood veteran Beatty, 73, is 'crushed' by his child's determination to change her gender. Meanwhile Miss Bening, 52, who starred in American Beauty, is trying to support her daughter as best she can, despite finding the situation heartbreaking. The National Enquirer reported that the teenager was currently attending college dressed as a man. 'Warren Beatty is beside...

Beatty is, evidently, less of a town than a state of mind. When locals tried in recent years to find the original borders of this 1,000-person desert dot, they discovered an unsettling fact: Beatty was apparently never officially formed with official boundaries and therefore might not really exist -- officially, at least. Ever since, Nye County leaders have been flummoxed over what to do with the maybe-town about 120 miles northwest of Las Vegas: Adopt the borders of one of Beatty's tax districts? Draw town limits from scratch? "When we went to the county," said Harold "Bert" Bertram, the town...

A new biography of the film star Warren Beatty claims that he has been to bed with 12,775 women. The author adds, usefully, that the figure 'does not include daytime quickies, drive-bys, casual gropings, stolen kisses and so on'. Some people may need a little help to picture 12,775 different women. The total population of Beaconsfield is 10,679, which means that Warren Beatty would have had to sleep with every single person in Beaconsfield, and even then he would have to pop in on a number of outlying villages before he had met his obligations and clocked up the remaining...

Ralph Nader has been many things: lawyer, consumer-rights bulldog, political activist and perennial third-party presidential candidate. He has now added a new title to his business card: fiction writer. His latest book, Only the Super-Rich Can Save Us!, is a 700-page populist fantasy in which a small group of billionaires and media moguls — led by Warren Buffett and including Ted Turner, George Soros, Bill Cosby, Yoko Ono and Phil Donahue — pool their massive resources to reform the U.S. With the help of a $15 billion war chest and a p.r. campaign starring a talking parrot, the group successfully...

Wayne County Circuit Court Judge Timothy Kenny ruled Friday that Christine Beatty qualified for the earlier release date after participating in a jailhouse work program that included folding towels.

DETROIT - Folding sheets, towels and other linen while in jail is a far cry from being the chief of staff of a big-city mayor. But former Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick's ex-aide and one-time lover testified Friday that she "eagerly participated" in the chores at the Wayne County Jail -- not to pass the time, but because she understood that jail officials would chop time off her sentence for obstruction of justice. Circuit Judge Timothy Kenny sided with Beatty, ordering her to be released on Monday instead of April 15. Kenny said jail officials were wrong to deny her a reduced...

The thought of Sen. John Kerry and a president named Barack Obama loose on the streets of Washington, D.C. sounds like an idea for a horror movie. But it would just be a sequel to a disaster movie that the people in Massachusetts have already seen -- one which stars Kerry and Gov. Deval Patrick.

"People see him for what he is," Beatty told PolitickerMA.com referring to Obama. "Obama is shallow. He's an empty suit. He doesn't have the relevant experience to work the country out of its problems and John McCain does. I've been advocating an action policy to solve these problems and that's resonating with voters. That's why I'll say McCain is going to carry Massachusetts and I'm going to beat John Kerry." The Beatty camp contends that McCain is gaining ground in Massachusetts because Bay State voters are not comfortable voting for Obama. Obama's recent shifts in position on energy policy, they...

Responding to a recent poll showing presumptive Democratic nominee Barack Obama's lead over presumptive GOP nominee John McCain in Massachusetts narrowing, Jeff Beatty, the Republican challenging U.S. Sen. John Kerry, predicted victory in both his race and for McCain in Massachusetts. A 7News/Suffolk University poll released Monday showed Obama (Ill.) with a nine-point lead over McCain (Ariz.) - 47 percent to 38 percent. The last 7News/Suffolk University poll, released a month and a half ago, showed Obama leading McCain by 23 points, 53 percent to 30 percent. "People see him for what he is," Beatty told PolitickerMA.com referring to Obama....

Some are calling it a big waste of Detroit tax dollars. FOX 2 cameras were rolling as city employees went door-to-door escorted by a fire engine and a police car. As Brad Edwards explains, they weren't fighting crime or a fire. Instead, they were working for Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick. http://www.myfoxdetroit.com/myfox/pages/News/Detail?contentId=6317458&version=1&locale=EN-US&layoutCode=VSTY&pageId=3.2.1

The embattled mayor, despite facing felony perjury and other criminal charges, continues to promote the more than $300 million bond proposal to improve city infrastructure and services.

DETROIT (AP) - The Wayne County prosecutor's office says it has filed a motion seeking the disqualification of all 36th District Court judges in the preliminary examination for Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick.

DETROIT (AP) - Former Detroit mayoral Chief of Staff Christine Beatty has been ordered to wear an electronic tether and prohibited from leaving the state. The Wayne County prosecutor's office says in a release that 36th District Court Magistrate Steve Lockhart changed the conditions of Beatty's $75,000 personal bond when she failed to give the court specific information about plans to leave Michigan to allegedly search for a job.
