Benny Johnson @bennyjohnson Deranged Cory Booker is still calling the LA riots “peaceful”: “The reality is, we are seeing peaceful protests launching in Los Angeles.” From Libs of TikTok 1:02 PM · Jun 8, 2025

Americans across the country are remembering George Floyd five years after he was killed by police, with special gatherings in the city where he grew up and the one where he died. The murder of Floyd, a black man, in Minneapolis by police officer Derek Chauvin led to nationwide protests against racism and police brutality. On Sunday, Floyd's family gathered in their hometown of Houston near Floyd's gravesite for an event led by the Rev. Al Sharpton, while Minneapolis held several commemorations. What many hailed as a national "reckoning" with racism after Floyd's death, though, seems to be fading as...

Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-NJ) went full Trump Derangement Syndrome this week, calling on Democrats to “shut down the city” in what she described as a “war” against the current administration. Speaking at a protest with several other members of Congress in Washington, DC, in opposition to Trump ally Elon Musk’s influence on the federal government, McIver screamed into the microphone with a full call to war. “We will not take this!” she exclaimed. “We will fight back! And goddammit, shut down the city!” “We are at war,” she continued. After lamenting Elon Musk’s access to the U.S. Treasury, McIver then...

Democrat Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) is facing blowback after calling for supporters to fight President Donald Trump’s agenda not only legislatively but “in the streets.” “Right now, we’re going to keep focused on the need to look out for everyday New Yorkers and everyday Americans who are under assault by an extreme MAGA Republican agenda that is trying to cut taxes for billionaire donors and wealthy corporations and then stick New Yorkers and working class Americans across the country with the bill,” Jeffries said during a press conference on Friday. “That’s not acceptable. We are going to fight it...

Joe Biden sat down for a pre-recorded interview with CBS News’s Robert Costa. Biden told Robert Costa that Ku Klux Klan members took off their hoods when Trump was president because they knew they had an ally in the White House. He’s completely shot. “Every other time the Ku Klux Klan’s been involved they’ve worn hoods, so they’re not identified,” Biden said. “Under his presidency, they came out of those woods with no hoods, knowing they had an ally. That’s how I read it,” Biden added. “They knew they had an ally in the White House and he stepped up...

Joe Biden sat down for a pre-recorded interview with CBS News reporter Robert Costa. The interview was conducted on Sunday and will air in full on Sunday, August 11. Joe Biden has not been publicly in more than 3 days. CBS played a clip from Biden’s interview with Robert Costa. “Are you confident that there will be a peaceful transfer of power in January 2025?” CBS News reporter Robert Costa asked Biden. “If Trump wins, no, I’m not confident at all,” Biden said before correcting himself: “I mean if Trump loses, I’m not confident at all. He means what he...

Rep Jamie Raskin says Congress will stop Donald Trump on Jan 6, 2025 using the 14th Amendment and create “civil war conditions”

Governor Tim Walz (D-MN) said Monday on MSNBC’s “Inside” that former President Donald Trump is so “terrifying” if he wins a second term the world would be at risk. Host Jen Psaki said, “There are some scary things that Trump is planning to do. T’m not suggesting you are trying to back away from that, but tell me a little bit more about what you mean by that.” Walz said, “Yeah, he is terrifying. He’s going to strip reproductive rights. He is going to weaponize the federal government. He is going to put the world at risk by pulling it...

Was this a Sunday morning political talk show—or thMichael Beschloss MSNBC The Weekend 6-2-24e trailer for Mad Max: America? Appearing on MSNBC's The Weekend, leftist NBC historian Michael Beschloss painted a picture of what America would be if Trump won the presidency that was so apocalyptic, Mel Gibson might reject the script as too over the top. [snip] Beschloss promptly turned the panic meter up to 11. He described a desolate American landscape in which Trump would be a dictator not just for a day, but perhaps for "the rest of our lifetimes." A wrecking of the rule of law...

George Floyd should be alive. He deserved so much more. Today, I join all those who loved him and all those touched by the civil rights movement he inspired in remembering the tragedy and injustice of his death. He changed the world. Now, let's act in his memory.

President Joe Biden sharpened his racially-charged attack on former President Donald Trump during Sunday night's annual NAACP Detroit Branch Freedom Fund dinner. 'What do you think he would have done on January 6 if black Americans had stormed the Capitol?' Biden asked - as members of the crowd collectively gasped. The president then added, 'No, I'm serious. What do you think? I can only imagine,' as Trump has long promised to pardon those involved in the 2021 Capitol attack if he's elected to a second term in November.

CNN commentator Adam Kinzinger said Friday on CNN’s “The Lead” that former President Donald Trump and Republicans rhetoric could lead to violence. Anchor Jake Tapper asked, “How concerned are you that if Trump loses again in November, and who knows what’s going to happen, but if he does, how concerned are you that we can see a repeat of January 6?”

Protesters in Dearborn, Michigan, shouted "Death to America!" and "Death to Israel!" during an International Al-Quds Day rally held in the town. "Imam Khomeini, who declared the International Al-Quds Day, this is why he would say to pour all of your chants and all of your shouts upon the head of America," Tarek Bazzi, a Michigan-based activist associated with the Hadi institute, said in a video from the rally that was shared by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI). Bazzi’s comments were followed by crowds chanting "Death to America!" in the background. Bazzi reasoned that the rallies held on...

Tennessee State Senator Charlane Oliver (D-Nashville) warned state Republicans on Thursday moments after the Tennessee General Assembly passed a bill prohibiting local governments from inhibiting law enforcement that her Democrat constituents may respond with riots. @FoxNashville posted footage of the Thursday press conference at which Oliver and other Democrat legislators held at the Capitol in which they announced their disapproval of the bill. The legislation easily passed in the State Senate on Thursday in a partisan vote 26 to 6. The previous week, the Tennessee House passed the bill in a partisan 68 to 24 vote. “So yeah, we’re gonna...

Actor Michael Rapaport has admitted that he helped spread the left’s Trump Charlottesville “very fine people” hoax, saying he was “wrong” to have promoted the lie. Michael Rapaport spoke about the hoax during a recent interview on the Patrick Bet David (“PBD”) podcast. “One thing about the Charlottesville — that I ranted about, and I was wrong,” the actor said. “When you see the full quote, that wasn’t what he said.”

Jussie Smollett is trying to get his conviction for faking an attack overturned again - this time claiming he should never have been prosecuted in the first place. The Empire star is arguing he shouldn't have been charged with felony disorderly conduct in December 2021 because prosecutors made a deal to dismiss the first indictment. Smollett's attorneys filed legal documents with Illinois Supreme Court detailing the deal, which involved him doing community service and forfeiting his bond in return for charges being dropped. The actor is taking his appeal to the state's highest court after it was previously denied by...

"Accidents" and deaths may be inevitable in extreme climate activism that could merit blowing up thousands of pipelines, author and radical climate activist Andreas Malm said in a startling new interview. The "How to Blow Up a Pipeline" writer and activist gave an interview to The New York Times on his upcoming follow-up book, "Overshoot: How the World Surrendered to Climate Breakdown." At the top of the exchange, Malm was questioned on how "it’s hard to think that deaths don’t become inevitable if there is more sabotage" like blowing up pipelines. "Sure, if you have a thousand pipeline explosions per...

Trump is Dylann Roof and believing the 2020 election was stolen is the Civil War. Who is writing these talking points? It’s surreal. ABC News: In his first visit to an early voting state this year, President Joe Biden on Monday in Charleston, South Carolina, warned MAGA Republicans led by former President Donald Trump “tried to steal an election” and “now they’re trying to steal history.”

Pssst! Al! When you publicly suggest that Joe Biden discuss white supremacy, you should at least pretend it is for moral, not ulterior political reasons. Unfortunately, Reverend Al Sharpton said the quiet part out loud on Monday's Morning Joe.Since Biden's handling of economy and border security has caused a slippage of support for him among black voters, Sharpton stated that when Biden uncorked another campaign speech in Charleston later in the day, he should bring up white supremacy in his speech as a way to shore up support among a group that has been increasingly disappointed in him.

Barack Obama recently had an off-the-books White House lunch with President Joe Biden to share his concerns and advice about his former running mate's campaign, according to a new report. Obama grew 'animated' as he discussed the 2024 election and Donald Trump's bid to return to the presidency, and suggested Biden should restructure his campaign to be more agile, the Washington Post reported on Saturday, citing people familiar with the matter. The lunch meeting reportedly occurred in recent months, but has not been previously reported, and Obama does not appear in the White House visitor logs, which have exemptions for...
