The pro-Palestinian protests outside the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in Chicago, Illinois, were “mostly peaceful,” the Chicago Tribune proclaimed in a Monday headline despite multiple arrests being made. The headline echoed a CNN chyron from the 2020 cycle: “Fiery But Mostly Peaceful Protests After Police Shooting.” This line came during a report that showed a building engulfed in flames amid violent protests in Kenosha, Wisconsin. You cannot make this up… A CNN reporter is standing in front of a building engulfed in flames and CNN's chyron reads: "FIERY BUT MOSTLY PEACEFUL PROTESTS AFTER POLICE SHOOTING" pic.twitter.com/4OHvKnh63u — Caleb Hull (@CalebJHull)...

The lead graphic designer for the Harris for President campaign premiered the campaign’s new logo design this week, receiving millions of impressions and praise on X for the 24-hour rebranding. But on the same account, the Brooklyn-based designer has a long history of urging political violence and crime. “[M]e and my designers made this. [T]his is crazy,” wrote Ana Cherée Rice, 32, on Monday. Accompanying the post was the official new campaign logo declaring “Harris for President” in blue and red text. Rice’s professional social media pages list her pronouns and her interest in diversity, inclusion and equity. But a...

Hundreds of pro-Palestinian protesters — some openly supporting Hamas and other terror groups — surrounded the White House on Saturday, vandalizing a statue and assaulting a U.S. Park Police officer who tried to protect it. The protest happened on the day Israel successfully rescued four hostages from Hamas’s clutches in a raid in Gaza. Protesters clad in keffiyeh began gathering outside the presidential residence in Washington, D.C., Saturday morning. Their signs called on President Joe Biden to “free Palestine” and “end the siege on Gaza now.” Others stood in a line draped in a two-mile-long red banner around the White...

CLAIM: The Biden campaign is repeating a lie that former President Donald Trump tear-gassed peaceful protesters gathered outside of the White House in Lafayette Square for a photo-op. VERDICT: FALSE. This has been debunked countless times and has been proven false. The inspector general of the U.S. Department of Interior released a report in June 2021 that exonerated Trump from claims that he had tear-gassed peaceful protesters gathered in Lafayette Square in June 2020 to walk through the park to have a photo-op at St. John’s Episcopal Church.

Earlier today, in our post on Justin Jones using the Ralph Yarl shooting to racebait on MSNBC, we included this tweet wondering if someone could ask Jones to name the victims of the Covenant shooting, the same Covenant shooting that Jones spearheaded a raucous protest over in the name of caring about gun violence victims but with the actual purpose of getting a national media platform: Can someone confront this grifter to name the six Christians that were slaughtered? — Poliwatch (@poliwatching) April 19, 2023 Justin Jones is praying that no one actually asks him about that, because he’ll come...

The Black Lives Matter (BLM) riots of 2020 were the largest and most successful shakedown in American history. These “mostly peaceful protests” — which burned more than 200 American cities and wreaked more than $2 billion in damages — achieved more than anyone could have predicted: changes in laws, private sector policies, and perhaps most importantly, a historic transfer of wealth to racial and leftwing causes. As a result, American corporations gave or pledged more than $83 billion to either BLM or BLM-related causes.We created a database tracking contributions and pledges made to the BLM movement and related causes, which...

The video shows Casillo stopped at East 39th Street and Third Avenue with protesters in front of...

Patriot Front, the White Supremacist group that loves to get attention with their odd choice of clothing and face coverings, is back in action. And as usual, conservatives on Twitter are calling them out as feds. The reality is this: They really are a white supremacist group. There really are feds among them, as there are among just about every political group in America. There just happen to be more of them in this particular merry band of idiots They’re marching again, this time in Boston:

A Russian journalist denied her country was invading Ukraine during an interview with i24NEWS, while footage of the invasion played beside her. “Let’s get one thing straight, you’re saying troops, however, there has not been any proof of actual troops going into Ukraine,” Moscow journalist Tatiana Kukhareva said on Thursday.

Footage of Russian tanks in Ukraine began playing while Kukhareva spoke, which she did address. “What you’re showing now, those, unfortunately, the pictures that … cannot...

BRUSSELS (AP) — Belgian police used water cannon and tear gas Sunday to disperse some rowdy protesters in Brussels after most demonstrators marched peacefully to protest tightened COVID-19 restrictions that aim to counter a surge of coronavirus infections. Thousands came to reject the new measures announced Friday, the third week in a row that the government has tightened its rules as an avalanche of new cases strains the country’s health services, depriving people with other life-threatening diseases of treatment.
