31 NGOs behind 1,000+ protests this Saturday have been exposed by @DataRepublican —and the FBI is now investigating “any and all monetary connections responsible for these riots.”.. This isn’t grassroots. It’s Color Revolution 2.0—a coordinated, funded insurrection backed by shadowy donors. According to @DataRepublican , the “No Kings” rally is tied to 31 left-wing NGOs, including the ACLU Foundation, Black Voters Matter Fund, and Color of Change. Follow the grant money and you’ll find the usual suspects: Open Society, Schwab Charitable, and Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors. Some groups openly push Marxist ideology. Others were caught handing out riot gear used in...

At a Florida press conference, Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey issued a deadly warning to potential protesters. "If you throw a brick, a firebomb, or point a gun at one of our deputies, we will be notifying your family where to collect your remains at, because we will kill you, graveyard dead. We're not gonna play. This has to stop." "If you spit on us, you're going to the hospital, then jail," said Ivey. "If you hit one of us, you're going to the hospital and jail—and most likely get bitten by one of our big, beautiful dogs we have...

Look What the Democrats Have Caused… Again Mark Lewis | Jun 12, 2025 Let me try to put a little perspective on the current Leftist riots. These kinds of things have happened all through history and in just about every country. They've happened in America before, as we know. Riots aren’t happening in Thailand right now, where I live, but they have in the past, and I’m sure they will in the future. People get upset about something and they throw a fit, break things, sometimes start a revolution, but usually go home after they’ve had their fun. “Civilization is...

Mayor Brandon Johnson urged Chicagoans to “rise up in this moment” against President Donald Trump’s mass deportation effort, even as he acknowledged Wednesday that the deployment of the military to help carry out immigration raids in Los Angeles could happen here. Johnson refused to say precisely what he would do if mass demonstrations in Chicago — perhaps as soon as Saturday’s “No Kings Day of Defiance” protests — provoke an L.A.-style federal response. The mayor would only say that he is concerned enough to have spoken directly with Gov. JB Pritzker and Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle about the...

During a press conference with multiple SoCal officials, including Bass, Ventura City Deputy Mayor Doug Halter took to the podium and immediately accused Trump of launching a “terrorism attack” on LA while whining about the impact on the community. “This is absolutely unconscionable; (regarding) what’s going on,” Halter began. “I never thought in my life that I would be seeing this sort of disruption, this sort of terrorism attack on our citizens…” “Everything that impacts one part of our community impacts all of us,” he added. “And to see this coming from our own country…It’s just unconscionable.” Halter then issued...

As the anti-ICE, pro-illegal immigration, and even pro-terrorist riots continue in Los Angeles, there's not merely questions and concerns over the ineffective state and local leadership--though that is the case thanks to LA Mayor Karen Bass and Gov. Gavin Newsom. Many want to know who is funding these riots, including Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX). He already discussed at great length the riots over X as well as in Monday's episode of "The Verdict," and he's devoted another episode to the riots for Wednesday. The question of the riots and who is funding these, not just in LA but across the...

New York City Draft Riots (July 13-16, 1863) Opposition to Civil War conscription sparked riots in New York City, primarily among Irish immigrants. Mobs attacked government buildings, looted, and targeted Black residents, killing at least 120. Federal troops (~4,000) from the Battle of Gettysburg restored order, killing dozens of rioters in street battles, one of the largest federal responses to urban unrest at the time.Eutaw Riot, Alabama (1870) The Ku Klux Klan attacked a Republican rally in Eutaw, Alabama, targeting Black voters. Federal troops (~500) restored order, an early use of federal force against racial violence in the Reconstruction-era South.Coeur...

Benny Johnson @bennyjohnson 🚨BREAKING: The DNC has voted 294–99 to nullify the election of David Hogg as Vice Chair and hold a new vote. 5:31 PM · Jun 11, 2025

Philadelphia police clashed with people protesting the Trump administration’s accelerating deportation efforts Tuesday night in Center City. A clip circulating on social media shows an officer pushing demonstrators before tackling to ground a masked protester dressed in black. The Inquirer posted a video that appears to show a PPD officer kneeling on an individual’s head and neck to subdue them. Both pieces of footage were taken on East Market Street. Law enforcement said two demonstrators and two bicycle officers were treated for minor injuries. Fifteen adults were arrested, with the most serious allegations against a man set to be charged...

Los Angeles Democratic Mayor Karen Bass and over 30 other mayors of nearby cities on Wednesday called for an end to federal immigration enforcement raids amid protests. Protests in Los Angeles turned violent over the weekend after U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement conducted raids last week, resulting in detentions and deportations of illegal immigrants. The violent protests led to President Trump sending the National Guard and Marines to the city over California Gov. Gavin Newsom's (D) objection. "A week ago, everything was peaceful in the city of Los Angeles, and in all of the representatives behind me, in their cities,...

Protests that sprang up in Los Angeles over immigration enforcement raids and prompted President Donald Trump to mobilize National Guard troops and Marines have begun to spread across the country, with more planned into the weekend. From Seattle and Austin to Chicago and Washington, D.C., marchers have chanted slogans, carried signs against the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency and snarled traffic through downtown avenues and outside federal offices. While many have been peaceful, some have resulted in clashes with law enforcement as officers made arrests and used chemical irritants to disperse crowds. Activists are planning more and even larger demonstrations...

California Governor Gavin Newsom delivered a (prerecorded?) formal address to California on Tuesday evening amid ongoing Los Angeles riots. A desperate Newsom, who is actually hunkered down in LA right now, text Fox News host Sean Hannity and begged him to cover his address to California. WATCH: Sean Hannity just said that Gavin Newsom texted him to ask him to cover his “address.” Dude is pathetic. pic.twitter.com/d3kLQoLZtM — johnny maga (@_johnnymaga) June 11, 2025 However, Newsom’s formal address was off to a bad start because there was no audio. CBS News noted there was a problem with the audio: #BREAKING:...

Someone tell Gavin Newsom he’s not the president of the United States. No one was obligated to carry his little address, but he’s a Democrat, anti-Trump, and pro-illegal alien, so some outlets did. Supposedly, he texted Fox News’ Sean Hannity to carry his broadcast, but there was no audio. It was a disaster. It was almost as if the political gods were screaming, ‘not ready for primetime’ concerning Newsom, who got slapped down by a judge regarding his emergency motion to block federal troops from being deployed in Los Angeles. The city is again on fire, with Newsom among those...

"We're gonna run right over them" "Fight like hell" "Are you ready to fight?" They’re gonna plan riots all across the country. Bonus: A California history teacher has a plan .... https://x.com/SKDoubleDub33/status/1932091423030985056 "Listen to the language he uses. He refers to the people being deported as indigenous to this land and calls it “ancestral land”. This is a revolution. His organization, Union del Barrio, is a Marxist Revolutionary group that also advocates for Palestine." Courtesy of SKDoubleDub

Even as dark times unfold in moonbat-ruled California, at least we have clownish Los Angeles congresscritter Maxine Waters to provide comic relief. Here she is taunting National Guard troops and accusing them of wanting to shoot children: (video on link) Okay, that wasn’t so funny, considering that this malevolent moron has power over us. But the next video is good for a laugh. Watch as she stages a publicity stunt on behalf of David Huerta of the SEIU — who was arrested for taking part in riots — only to get the door of the Metropolitan Detention Center in Los...

FBI Director Kash Patel said the Bureau is investigating the source of funding that is fueling the riots in Los Angeles, California. Sections of Los Angeles have seen rioters engaging in property damage, looting stores, clashing with law enforcement authorities, and vandalizing police vehicles. The riots are a response to a series of raids Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) carried out in the area last week. However, many view the unrest as a statement against the Trump administration’s mass deportations of illegal immigrants. In a statement to Just the News, Patel confirmed that the FBI “is investigating any and all...

The communist behind the “organic” riots in Los Angeles and across the country are being funded by Neville Singham, according to DataRepublican and Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna. Neville Singham is the man funding these riots. It’s not about illegal Hispanics. They’re just using them for propaganda. They are actual Communists. TY @DataRepublican for the deep dive. https://t.co/dSKSaVVjtg pic.twitter.com/ulNoRkPXWl — Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (@RepLuna) June 9, 2025 It’s a very long thread, but it’s definitely worth the read. Here’s how it starts… Hundreds took to the streets this weekend: blocking roads, attacking federal officers, even burning flags. But this wasn’t...

Lots of footage from scene. Transcript linked below video.

This is doctrine, not desperation.In every historical insurgency response—from Fallujah (2004) to Port-au-Prince (1994)—Phase One begins with symbolic presence, designed to shape public perception, solidify command authority, and prepare the civilian battlespace psychologically. This is Information Operations (IO) blended with Gray Zone maneuvering—no kinetic engagement yet, just a subtle but unmistakable warning: We are here. And we are escalating.📡 The current deployment is an operational placeholder, not a...
