Ferguson was the ground zero for the BLM movement that destroyed public safety and the race riots that wrecked out cities and led to a wave of radical pro-crime policies that killed thousands. While Ferguson may be in the rearview mirror for many, the Trump administration is moving to shut down the Community Relations Service that was at the heart of it.A little flashback.The Justice Department “sent in its secretive Community Relations Service, all but indistinguishable from a group of community organizers, to train protesters and provide liaison services for them. The so-called ‘Peacemakers’ wear the blue windbreakers, polo shirts...

Friends, If you are experiencing rage and despair about what is happening in America and the world right now because of the Trump-Vance-Musk regime, you are hardly alone. A groundswell of opposition is growing — not as loud and boisterous as the resistance to Tump 1.0, but just as, if not more, committed to ending the scourge. Here’s a partial summary — 10 reasons for modest optimism. Please add any that I may have missed in the comments. 1. Boycotts are taking hold. Americans are changing shopping habits in a backlash against corporations that have shifted their public policies to...

The anti-Trump demonstrations we now see in the streets are not just examples of the immaturity of many modern secular liberals, who seem to think that everyone else is somehow obligated to agree with them. They’re also a symptom of the distorted influence politics now exercises over our culture.But in addition to being a symptom of our culture, the dominance of politics in every aspect of life is also a consequence of liberalism itself.The tendency of liberalism has always been to politicize everything. Thanks to liberalism, we have a politicized media that has abandoned journalistic standards in a misguided attempt...

Hundreds of illegal immigrants are protesting President-elect Donald Trump’s election win as he promises to execute immigration laws on day one of his second term. On Saturday, massive groups of illegal aliens took to the streets to protest Trump’s pending immigration policies, in which he has vowed to deport every last immigrant that was allowed to illegally enter the United States under the Biden-Harris Administration. The protestors marched through the streets of Manhattan and yelled “we are not leaving!” Others held a large banner that read "we won't back down," while chanting "he's not my president." This comes after data...

As Election Day is just days away, Washington, D.C., Michigan, Georgia and other states around the U.S. are ramping up security, as massive protests are expected no matter who wins. In the deep-blue cities of Philadelphia, Atlanta and Detroit, security measures are taking place to keep election officials safe. In Detroit and Atlanta, some campaign offices have installed bullet-proof glass protecting election offices. In Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, a warehouse that counts ballots has fencing around it topped with barbed wire, according to Reuters. The executive director of North Carolina’s State Board of Elections said that election workers have been harassed already...

It feels like there's been a notable shift amongst Democrats in the last month. A recent sense of fatalism - or perhaps just simple resignation to what appears to be an inevitable Trump win. But as it turns out, there are some Democrats who have been preparing for this potential outcome for at least the last year. One of those people is Norman Eisen, and it looks like he’s up to his old Lawfare & Color Revolution tricks again. The man responsible for virtually all of the legal attacks on President Trump now has a new activist group - although...

Boards are going up in Washington, DC, less than a week from the election, at it seems some businesses are anticipating riots on election night. Andrew Leyden, a freelance photographer in DC, said he caught wind that some in DC were beginning the process of boarding up, so he decided to check it out himself. Indeed, he found that the back entrance of the Post Office near the White House has been covered with plywood boards, and workers are currently boarding up the front side of the office as well.

The propaganda campaign labeling Donald Trump as an aspiring dictator determined to use the military and national security apparatus against his political opponents is designed not to affect the upcoming election but rather to shape the post-election environment. It is the central piece of a narrative that, by characterizing Trump as a tyrant (indeed likening him to Hitler), establishes the conditions for violence — not just another attempt on Trump’s life, but political violence on a massive scale intended to destabilize the country... ...Disruption, destabilization, and violence are legitimized by a narrative driven by self-congratulatory mirror-imaging and projection in which...

The propaganda campaign labeling Donald Trump as an aspiring dictator determined to use the military and national security apparatus against his political opponents is designed not to affect the upcoming election but rather to shape the post-election environment. It is the central piece of a narrative that, by characterizing Trump as a tyrant (indeed likening him to Hitler), establishes the conditions for violence — not just another attempt on Trump’s life, but political violence on a massive scale intended to destabilize the country. As I write in my forthcoming book Disappearing the President, Democratic Party research and media reports show...

Nothing would please the 'uniparty' more. SNIP We may expect that agents will be present in any crowds that gather outside of counting centers as well, whether these are in Maricopa County, Atlanta, Philadelphia, or Detroit. Will rumors will be spread about fraudulent ballots? Will the protesters be urged to go into the counting centers, just as the Ray Epps on Jan. 6 urged the demonstrators to go into the Capitol? Will local police be instructed by Democrat mayors to respond aggressively to any demonstration, perhaps even launching flash bangs or firing rubber bullets into a crowd, unruly or not....

In 2016, Trump stunned the nation by defeating Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Instantly, Democrats were shocked and began to melt down. Images of Clinton supporters falling to their knees, crying and screaming, went viral. Much of the corporate media was no less hysterical, decrying Jan. 20, 2017 as a dark day for America. Eight years later, after being dragged from courthouse to courthouse, two assassination attempts and being labeled a “fascist” by his opponents daily, Trump has a real chance at another victory against long odds. The Daily Caller spoke to various experts across the political landscape about what...

Folks, advice needed: I live in South Philadelphia, the heart of the inner city. Some non-negotiable things: I’m not moving, I won’t surrender the ownership of my home, no surrender. So, in anticipation of the Election, I’ve stocked up on batteries, lanterns, charcoal, matches, canned goods, fire extinguishers, cash, gold, candles, ammo, non-firing weapons, first aid supplies (wife is a Nurse) and gasoline. Anyone better versed in this than I am have suggestions which I may have overlooked?

Funny how the Democrats and their sick press depend on us forgetting what they did. How could we ever forget? Just after COVID, "Protesters", you know who they were. Went from one Democratic major city to another Burned, Looted and Pillaged while our vile Democratic Press cheered the Looters and Burners. So, let's start with Tim Walz's MINNEAPOLIS. As Governor of MINNESOTA since 2019. What did he do while Minneapolis burned?? Why NOTHING, he sat on his hands and Progressively saying those under him "did not provide the specifics necessary for deployment at the time". And in short order... "throughout...

A photographer shared his firsthand account of what he calls the “real story” of the George Floyd riots along with his never-before-seen photos of the destruction in an interview on Liz Collin Reports.

Years of extremely inflammatory rhetoric from the mainstream media and from many of our leaders have brought us to the brink of a societal nightmare. The numbers that I am about to share with you are horrifying, but it is so important for us to understand what is ahead of us. In an article that I posted yesterday, I discussed the recent attempt on Trump’s life and I stated that “there are some that truly wish that he had been killed”. Unfortunately, that was a tremendous understatement. According to a survey that was conducted after the most recent attempt on...

Last week, we gathered with other scholars at Ground Zero for a summit on terrorism and political violence. The mood was somber, not only because of reflections on 9/11 but also because of pained predictions of violence to come. It would have surprised nobody in attendance had they been told another assassination attempt against the former president would occur days later. This was, of course, not merely the second assassination attempt against Donald Trump. There have been many more plots over the past several years — aimed at politicians of all stripes — that never reached the point of gunfire...

Anarcho-tyranny refers to a societal condition where the state fails to enforce basic law and order against serious crimes (anarchy) but simultaneously imposes excessive control, regulation, and punishment on ordinary, law-abiding citizens (tyranny). The goal of anarcho-tyranny is to maintain power and control by targeting the compliant majority while neglecting or enabling more serious, disruptive elements within society. This dynamic serves to suppress dissent and maintain the status quo, often at the expense of individual freedoms and true justice. The concept of anarcho-tyranny was coined by Samuel T. Francis. His “Leviathan and Its Enemies: Mass Organization and Managerial Power in...

Focus will be split when the Democratic National Convention arrives in Chicago. Inside the United Center, attendees and TV viewers will be glued to the Harris-Walz ticket. But when cameras pan outside, eyes will shift to protesters. Protest groups have been gearing up for months to take advantage of the attention coming to Chicago. They have planned at least seven large demonstrations, with more rallies unsanctioned by the city likely to come. ...

In May 2020, as Minneapolis burned and grieved after the police murder of George Floyd, Tim Walz seemed backed into a corner.The Minnesota governor was facing a barrage of criticism for not moving faster to restore order after the torching of a police station and numerous businesses. When Walz mobilized the state National Guard three days after Floyd’s death, the move garnered praise from the most unlikely of supporters: then-President Trump.In a call with Walz and other leaders about a week after Floyd’s death, Trump remarked that “what they did in Minneapolis was incredible.”“They went in and dominated, and it...
