A majority of self-identified leftists say it would be at least somewhat justified to murder President Donald Trump, according to a new survey. The Network Contagion Research Institute and Rutgers University's Social Perception Lab on Monday released results of a survey to assess support for political violence in the U.S. The results found that political violence targeting Trump and Elon Musk "is becoming increasingly normalized." In fact, 55% of those self-identified as left of center said murdering Trump would be at least somewhere justified. A share of 48% leftists said the same about murdering Musk, head of Trump's Department of...

A mystery woman rang the doorbell of an Oklahoma home and quizzed the owner about being a Republican because he had Fourth of July decorations on his lawn. Surveillance footage of the July 8th incident shows the woman walk up to Pascal Quintero's home located in the area of South Janeway Avenue and ring his doorbell. After Quintero answers the door, the stranger asks him about his political affiliation and his independence-themed decorations - an American flag, patriotic banners and an inflatable Uncle Sam character riding a firework. She then blames him for not being able to get an abortion.

The Huffington Post -- home of some notably hateful rants, like the ex-Washington Post writer who said unlike George W. Bush, "You could argue that even the world’s worst fascist dictators at least meant well" -- has a line contributors can cross. On Sunday night, it was the notion of executing President Trump for treason...and a cast of accessories including Steve Bannon, Kellyanne Fitzpatrick, the Vice President, the Senate Majority Leader, and the Speaker of the House! The unhinged HuffPost contributor was Jason Fuller, who proclaims he opposes "extremism" in politics: "I live in a small American town and work...

A recently released propaganda video by the Islamic extremist group Hizb ut-Tahrir is quite revealing. Not only does the video demonstrate the group’s growing effort to package arguments in a manner designed to appeal to Westerners on the political left, but it also serves as a barometer of radical Muslim groups’ broader shift in rhetorical strategy. The video, “Iraq: Past and Present Colonialism,” appears for the first twenty-seven minutes to be a standard leftist critique of the Iraq war, indistinguishable from Michael Moore’s Fahrenheit 9/11. The slickly-produced video begins with the history of past colonialism in Iraq—including the Mongol conquest...

I have referred to 'boxing the compass' as Obama's approach of assailing Sarah Palin from all possible directions and from various quarters. BTC refers to naming the 32 points of a compass in clockwise order. With that in mind here are IMHO the 32 approaches that Obama and Axelrod and their allies in the MSM, the nutroots, amongst the media pundits, in academia, and the entertainment industry will relentlessly employ to torpedo Sarah Palin's potential Presidential run in 2012. They are listed in no particular order of importance or priority: 1)The use of anklebiters and left-wing bloggers in their attempt...

MADISON, Wis. -- An animal rights activist from the Seattle suburb of Mercer Island, Washington -- who dodged federal authorities for years after he freed thousands of mink from Midwestern fur farms -- was sentenced to two years in prison today. A federal judge in Madison, Wisconsin, also ordered 28-year-old Peter Daniel Young to pay nearly 255-thousand dollars in restitution to the mink farmers. Young pleaded guilty in September to two counts of animal enterprise terrorism in a deal with prosecutors. Investigators say Young and an accomplice trespassed, cut fences and released caged mink from farms in Wisconsin, South Dakota...

It's become more and more apparent to me over the past five years that all the activism and non-violent protesting in the world will do precisely squat. When you're dealing with evil people who have no shame, the old rules of the game don't and, indeed, can't apply if you have any hope for success. Hundreds of thousands of people have marched, millions of letters have been written, tens of millions of votes cast, and hundreds of trillions of electrons expended pontificating on blogs...for nothing. Nothing has changed. Nothing will change. Not unless it comes in the form of something...

TRENTON, New Jersey (Reuters) - Six animal rights activists being tried under a law that equates their activities with terrorism turned the lives of employees of a British drug-testing company into a living nightmare, prosecutors said on Thursday. It is the first New Jersey trial in which federal prosecutors are using a law that says aggressive activists who disrupt a company can be charged as terrorists. The defendants are accused of disrupting the business of Huntingdon Life Sciences, or HLS, a UK-based firm with operations in New Jersey that uses animals to test drugs, with the aim of driving it...
