A man 'intentionally' drove into a crowd of protestors at a 'No Kings Day' rally in Virginia as protests across the country descended into chaos. Police in Los Angeles deployed less lethal munitions as protesters hurled concrete, rocks and fireworks at officers followed a day of mostly-peaceful protests in the city of Angels. In northern Virginia, Joseph R. Checklick Jr., 21, drove his SUV through a dispersing crowd in a parking lot, which led to him 'striking at least one person with his vehicle,' police said in a statement. The protest took place throughout Saturday afternoon in Culpeper, a small...

As much as it’s horrifying to watch a city burn and the lives of cops and federal agents threatened by violent protesters, there is a silver lining to the last several days of rioting in Los Angeles. The desperate attempts to spin what’s happening do a fairly good job of illustrating what’s wrong with the political discourse in this country — and further demonstrate that the dishonest sophistry used to excuse violent riots in 2020 is no longer remotely persuasive.Still it’s worth classifying and breaking down the specific arguments and talking points that have been employed by the Democrat Party-media-industrial...

Matt Bracken warns Mike Adams that an EXPLOSION of riots is coming, timed to destroy America from within.

...In a legal sense, it is not merely a "protest" to obstruct law enforcement. It’s a crime. It is not "protest" to throw bricks at ICE agents or police, or set cars on fire. But the broadcast coverage of this unrest sounded disturbingly like the excuse-making for the George Floyd riots of 2020, when violent mobs were described as a "racial reckoning." Once again, the TV networks used the mantra that the protests are "mostly peaceful," like it was a tiny sideshow, and Trump calling out the National Guard to quell the violence was treated as a provocation that worsened...

California Governor Gavin Newsom continued his all out-messaging war against President Donald Trump after he decided to send federal troops to California to help quell the riots in Los Angeles. Newsom painted himself and his family as a victim of Trump’s aggressive posture toward California, revealing that the president made his teenage daughter cry. ‘I have a 15-year-old who quite literally came home from school crying because she was told on her last day of school — God as my witness — because she was told her daddy was getting arrested,’ Newsom revealed on The Daily podcast hosted by the...

The media is trying so hard. The left-wing shills at Politico have seized on the chaos in California hoping it can be manipulated to catapult the state's Democrat governor into the national conversation.

Now, he's back in the spotlight.https://t.co/3oBTeBwmPz— POLITICO (@politico) June 10, 2025But if this is his audition for 2028, it's not going very well. California Governor Gavin Newsom is up to his armpits in another mess of his own making. The progressive poser who during his...

Hillary Clinton turned off comments after she fired a post to X condemning Donald Trump for deploying the National Guard to what she called 'peaceful demonstrations' in Los Angeles. Clinton, who served Secretary of State under President Obama, provoked the MAGA online contingent by slamming Trump in the statement posted on Tuesday. 'California Governor Newsom didn't request the National Guard be deployed to his state following peaceful demonstrations. Trump sent them anyway. It's the first time in 60 years a president has made that choice,' she wrote. 'Trump's goal isn't to keep Californians safe. His goal is to cause chaos,...

Susan Jekarl, a graphic designer from Glendale, was marching against Trump’s immigration crackdown on Sunday when she saw some of her fellow protesters spray-painting storefronts in Little Tokyo. So she contacted a few organizers, who reached out to business owners, along with the Japanese American Museum, to offer volunteer clean-up services. Many accepted, she said. While scrubbing nail polish remover pads against the window of a sushi restaurant on Tuesday, Jekarl said the majority of protesters were focused on stopping deportations in their community, not sowing chaos “People are singing, people are dancing, people are helping each other clean their...
