Europe’s Next War Won’t Be in Ukraine—It’ll Be in the Streets The European Union is pouring weapons, money, and political capital into Ukraine at an astonishing rate. If you listen to Brussels, it’s all about protecting democracy and stopping aggression at the borders of Europe. But what they won’t tell you—what they can’t afford to admit—is that many are quietly dreading the day the war ends. Because when the war ends, the real trouble begins. The Guns Are Already Here Let’s start with the obvious: Not all the weapons being sent to Ukraine are staying on the battlefield. Despite all...

There are a lot of interesting facts about Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme, the red-haired Manson follower who professed to loving him until his dying day. One of the most fascinating ones is that she attended high school with the late Phil Hartman, and they were very good friends. Her relationship with Hartman was something of interest to long-time CBS News producer Paul LaRosa, who exchanged numerous letters with Fromme while she was in prison. Hartman was murdered by his wife in May 1998, which was around the time LaRosa and Fromme were writing to each other. The producer asked the former...

Let's hope common sense will prevail in this racially charged environment in order to prevent retaliation No, I’m not trying to be an alarmist, just a pragmatist, from what I’ve heard and seen recently. There are people in our country who base their whole existence on undermining the United States, and most of them are U.S. citizens, not foreign interlopers. Starting in the 1960s, we’ve had a string of violent, anarchistic groups that have caused havoc all around the country leading up to today’s extra violent groups who are using the “race card” to foment disorder. One of the “fathers”...

By many measures, it was a feeble showing. Seven or so members from White Lives Matter’s California chapter hid their faces and displayed their antisemitism through signs reading “No More Wars for I$rael” and promoting 2017’s Hitler-deifying fauxumentary “Europa: The Last Battle” from a bridge in Walnut Creek.

U.S. Charles Manson cult follower Leslie Van Houten should be paroled, appeals court rules May 30, 2023 / 6:02 PM / AP A California appeals court said Tuesday that Leslie Van Houten, who participated in two killings at the direction of cult leader Charles Manson in 1969, should be let out of prison on parole. The appellate court's ruling reverses an earlier decision by Gov. Gavin Newsom to reject parole for Van Houten in 2020. She has been recommended for parole five times since 2016. All of those recommendations were rejected by either Newsom or former California Gov. Jerry Brown,...

Beatles fans of all ages can flock to Disney Plus for a new documentary called "Get Back" that reassembles footage of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr creating music as the band begins to dissolve. NPR used the occasion for guilt-trip clickbait: "How did we get stuck with the idea that four white guys make a rock band?" NPR music critic Ann Powers uncorked a long, unforgiving treatise on how it doesn't matter that the Beatles were progressive and loved black music because they were still somehow part of making rock music white and exclusionary: "Rock's defining...

A Florida man pleaded guilty to planning a double-homicide, one he had hoped to blame on the Black Lives Matter movement. Daniel Slater, 51, of Palm Beach County, Fla., elocuted in a Fort Lauderdale federal district court that he had met with someone to plan the murder of his ex-girlfriend and her husband. The identity of his co-conspirator was not revealed. Among the revealed details of his plan, Slater said he instructed his accomplice which windows of the couple’s home to shoot through as well as instructions to spray-paint “Black Lives Matter” on the house. In return, Slater told his...

"What do Democratic Washington mayor Muriel Bowser, CNN host Don Lemon, and Democratic representative Nancy Pelosi have in common with serial killer Charles Manson? They are all contributing to what they hope will be a politically advantageous race war between black and white Americans. "In 1969, Manson family members wrote 'Death to Pigs' on the walls of the mansion where they murdered Leno and Rosemary LaBianca. They used the blood of their victims to write the message. "The contemporary expression 'Pigs in a blanket, fry ’em like bacon', is heard as a chant at events initiated by the Marxist group...

The following 4 minute clip of Charles Manson (portrayed very well by Steve Railsback) provides some insiteful context to the present day child rioters we’ve been watching recently. His recruitment of young people in the ‘60’s to radicalize them and trigger a violent revolution seems to be a project continued by today’s teacher’s union, TV news, entertainment industry, the Democrat party and other wealthy world leaders. Seeing this speech makes me think he wasn’t just a one time thing, that we’ve found ourselves surrounded by thousands of Mansons in powerful places and they’re all murderously insane. Charles Manson Monologue

These are the times we talked about for so long. The riots, looting, and violence are destroying the overall economy in several cities for YEARS to come. What you're seeing today is racism masked as anti-racism -- and it's all designed to put YOU in your place. But Glenn isn't apologizing for his "white privilege." He didn't come from a wealthy family, and he worked for every piece of success he enjoys today. Don't let today's terrorists -- the racial equivalent of Antifa -- make you apologize for something you didn't do, either.

In my tiny West Virginia town, I phoned a local farmer to order fresh eggs. The yolks of his eggs are a rich deep yellow. After his wife took my egg order, she asked if she could speak to me about the chaos over the death of George Floyd. I assume word has spread around town about my political activism. She expressed deep concern for her half-black grandkids living in Maryland who are experiencing racial bullying. She wanted to know what to tell them about all the racial hate and white supremacy stuff they are hearing from media. I told...

Don McLean, the 74-year-old singer best known for his 1971 hit “American Pie,” says he is not impressed with the music of today. The singer-songwriter believes times have certainly changed since his early days in the music industry, and he’s claiming there is no longer music of substance when he turns on the radio. The folk-rock singer sat down with Tom Cridland for his YouTube series “The Greatest Music of All Time” to reflect on his musical career highlights. During the candid conversation, McLean partially discusses his political views, claiming that politics no longer “really mean anything,” and he likened...

Mass murderer Charles Manson was taken from a Central Valley prison to a hospital for an undisclosed medical issue, two sources familiar with the situation said.

Not in the literal sense. Charles Manson wanted to incite a race war because he thought that after a race war that saw blacks kill all non blacks (Manson and his “family” would survive however…) that he would return to rule them. You can be pretty sure that the Black Lives Matter guys aren’t seeking to start a race war so they can be ruled by a white guy… But they certainly seem to want a race war.Just as Charles Manson was not connected with reality, the ideas behind the Black Lives Matter movement are equally disconnected to reality. Remember...
