Be wary of those who only destroy. Smoldering embers of emotional environmental extremists can re-emerge as a wildfire. The Trump administration last week extinguished Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) protesters when they proved only willing to torch and trash the earth; culture; children and animals they claimed to be defending. Pounding drums and donning feathered headdresses, they claimed to be “indigenous.” Shouting “Water is Life!” they professed to be guarding natural resources for “the children.” Holding “Protect the Sacred” banners, they declared themselves defenders of Native American cultural sites. It was all a show. Four hundred and eighty-plus mounded dumpsters full...

A new complaint requests that the federal government investigate the tax-exempt status of a left-wing nonprofit that has allegedly fomented violent riots.

CASA’s complaint alleges that People’s Forum routinely organizes and funds protests that engage in illegal activity.

Protesters in two of Texas' largest cities clashed with police on Monday night to show solidarity with demonstrations in Los Angeles against President Donald Trump's sweeping deportation raids. As Trump mobilized 700 Marines to deal with the mayhem in LA, tensions quickly escalated in Dallas and Austin at anti-Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE) rallies. Dallas police began arresting individuals just before 9pm after they pleaded with protestors to stay off the Margret Hunt Hill Bridge, a busy thoroughfare into downtown filled with cars zooming by. As darkness fell on the city, a line of cops blocked the advance of the protestors...

Elder Of Ziyon - Israel News. Tuesday, April 16, 2024. No, the people disrupting traffic Monday are not "pro-Palestine". The local news media all get it wrong. There protesters are not "pro-Palestinian." If they were "pro-Palestinian," they would protest how terribly Lebanon treats its Palestinian "guests." If they were "pro-Palestinian," they would protest how Egypt doesn't let any Gazans desperate to leave to enter Egypt without paying hefty bribes. If they were "pro-Palestinian," they would have protested how Syria besieged and starved Palestinians at Yarmouk camp. If they were "pro-Palestinian," they would protest Palestinian laws that are officially anti-women and...

Mobs of crazed, pro-Hamas lefties have been blocking traffic this week in various parts of the country this week, shutting down bridges and blocking access to air ports. As usual, very few of them are being arrested or prosecuted for this terrorism, but those who are held accountable are being bailed out. Where is the bail money coming from?

The UK government was warned Tuesday by the U.N. that handing out long jail sentences to climate protesters could stifle public displays of dissent. The Just Stop Oil protesters in question caused traffic gridlock after scaling the Dartford Crossing Bridge for almost 40 hours in October last year, as Breitbart News reported. They were later accused of having “blood on their hands” after two women died in car crashes after being diverted from the bridge after the anti-fossil fuel activists had shut it down. Eco-extremists in Britain have a history of blocking motorways, junctions, and city centre intersections. The BBC...
