Violence erupted between a parental rights group and LGBTQ+ supporters over transgender notification policies at Los Angeles public schools on Tuesday. The two groups clashed outside the L.A. Unified School District headquarters downtown during a demonstration. As the gathering turned violent, police officers were called to the scene. Each group consisted of about 50 or so members. Skirmish lines were set up between the dueling groups and multiple people were taken into custody for “becoming violent, pushing officers, and throwing items,” LAPD said. A dispersal order was issued around 12 p.m., but the groups refused to leave, LAPD said. Three...

Based on recent polling, RealClearPolitics projects Republicans will win the hotly contested gubernatorial races in four states that were once seen as Democrat strongholds: Wisconsin, Oregon, Nevada, and, yes, Michigan. One wonders how the latest polling out of Minnesota — polling that shows Republican Dr. Scott Jensen leading his Democrat opponent Tim Walz, 46.3 to 45.8 percent — will affect that RealClear projection.

Trump ally Mehmet Oz is on course to win his Pennsylvania Senate battle against Democratic rival John Fetterman, according to new analysis.The Republicans are hoping to take both chambers of Congress at next month's election, allowing them to dramatically restrict the power of President Joe Biden. An analysis by Real Clear Politics (RCP), based on opinion polling adjusted to take account of past inaccuracies, projects Oz will win Pennsylvania by 1.9 percent of the vote.The calculation is drawn from an RCP produced average of recent polls, which puts Fetterman ahead by 3.2 points. However, the RCP calculated polling averages for...

Democrats took the lead in FiveThirtyEight’s generic ballot average a few days ago but RealClearPolitics remained a stalwart holdout — barely. After months of the GOP leading comfortably in their average, once by nearly five points in April, the gap between the parties shrank suddenly over the last few weeks. As recently as July 24, Republicans led by 2.5 points. But falling gas prices and the deus ex machina of Build Back Better passing against all odds caused Democratic support to surge, shrinking the Republican lead to a tenth of a point earlier this week.Today Dems finally took the lead....

Do you remember Trump’s inauguration in 2017? Rioters set fires, harassed and assaulted people, threw bricks, and worse. None of the rioters were ever really held accountable, and now they’re getting a big cash settlement over their arrests. The city of Washington has reached a $1.6 million settlement in two lawsuits that included allegations of arrests without cause and excessive force on protestors during the inauguration of former President Donald Trump in January 2017.

Approval of President Biden's performance in the White House continues to weaken as the administration works to deal with the Ukraine border conflict, rising inflation, the continuing COVID-19 pandemic and chaos at the Mexican border. For the first time since taking office, Biden's approval rating — based on an accumulation of polling data — fell below 40%. A Real Clear Politics average of all the most recent national surveys measuring Biden’s standing put the president’s approval at 39% and his disapproval at 54%. Biden has also found himself at the center of a Russia-Ukraine border conflict in Europe. Last month,...

Dec 6, 2021 Left wing organizations are uniting to “Shut Down the Capitol” on December 7, 2021, when Congress returns to session. Broadly organized by “Shut Down DC,” the groups are attempting to force horrific socialist policies before the 2022 elections. Using the highly sophisticated progressive tool Action Network, “Shut Down DC” is openly organizing leftist lunatics to engage in “street blockades surrounding the Capitol”. “Most of us don’t identify as Dems but we ARE angry – and we’re shutting down the Capitol on 12/7,” Shut Down DC tweeted. According to a mass email sent to supporters on Wednesday, the...

CHICAGO — More than 1,000 people demonstrated Saturday to protest the verdict in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial, rallying in Federal Plaza before marching throughout Downtown. azmine Salas, an organizer with Chicago Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression, said the protest was about showing demonstrators would not give in “to the racism and fear.” “I think we’re in this moment where vigilantes are feeling very empowered. Their poster child Kyle just got off,” Salas said. “But I think as Chicagoans, as a majority Black and Brown city, we are extremely powerful. … Today it’s about really showing our power, not...

Why We Must Take the Revcoms’ Call for Violent Revolt Seriously After Rittenhouse AcquittalAs revolutionary Antifa-spinoff groups go, the Revcoms should be at the top of everyone’s watch-list. Why? Because they are NOT just an Antifa spinoff, though some are characterizing them as such. In fact, they’ve been around accumulating resources and recruiting comrades for longer than most Antifa members have been alive. They are preparing to do something big and they have been mobilizing Neo-Marxists around the country to burn Kenosha and other cities to the ground. The Revolutionary Communist Party, led by Maoist Bob Avakian since 1975, seeks...

House VA Panel Announces Probe into ‘Extremist Groups’ Focused on Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, Three Percenters

LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) – It was three decades ago Wednesday that one of the most defining moments in Los Angeles history took place, changing the face of the city forever. On March 3, 1991, a plumber named George Holliday recorded four white LAPD officers using batons, Tasers, feet and fists to beat a Black man later identified as Rodney King. Holliday had been asleep in his Lake View Terrace apartment when he was awakened by a commotion that prompted him to grab his Sony Handycam and record the attack outside his apartment building.

A Capitol HatefestBy Ben JohnsonFrontPageMagazine.com | January 20, 2005 Although President George W. Bush received more votes than any other presidential candidate in history, not everyone will be celebrating his second inauguration in the nation’s capital today. Pro-terrorist socialists and violent extremists pledge “direct action” – including initiating physical confrontations with police officers – that could divert critical attention from a terrorist attack. Among those who will take part in today’s protests is a group known as Anarchist Resistance, but is more commonly called “the Black Bloc” for the black ski masks its members wear. Its history of violent rioting...

Election 2020 Results Biden/Harris 259 Trump/Pence 214

Tonight RCP pulled their call for Pennsylvania that dropped Joe Biden under the 270 electoral vote threshhold.

@AlexBerenson So in the last 48 hours @realclearnews has flipped four states from Biden to Trump. Florida will be next. At that point it’ll be 290 to 248 with both Pennsylvania and Arizona still in the Biden camp. Get ready for a long night...

Final polling averages underestimated the lead then-candidate Donald Trump held in a number of crucial swing states, including Ohio, Florida, and North Carolina, in 2016. With early voting underway, critics are beginning to rethink their reliance on polls. “Can We Trust Pennsylvania’s Polls?” reads the title of a New York Times article highlighting the “Trumpmania” among residents in the state. On Thursday, CBS News published an article titled, “What went wrong with polls in 2016? Can we trust them now?” Vox recently posed a similar question: “Biden has a big lead in the polls, but can we trust them?”

Course, most of us here knew that.... but the media likes to be willfully deceitful.

Kenosha, Wisconsin has been ravaged. Minneapolis has been burned. Black Lives Matter and Antifa continue to tear the heart out of once-great cities like Portland. A siege of the White House is being planned. Nationwide, violence has moved into suburban areas and residential neighborhoods. Groups of extremists are specifically targeting the residences of mayors, chiefs of police and other political enemies. The establishment press continues to peddle the notion that what we are seeing across the nation is nothing more than “peaceful protest” designed to achieve change within the existing system. No doubt, even many people in the streets believe...

Based on the arrest photos of apprehended Antifa rioters, the impression is out there that the group is little more than a bunch of extremist fringe crazies. Sadly, it's not so. Report after report shows that Antifa is highly organized, in its rioting, its killing, and its press coverage. It's shocking, really. This account from SurvivalBlog, by J.D., someone who went to several of Antifa's riots, describes all the security that Antifa and Revolutionary Communist Party (RevCom, or RCP) coevals put into their operations. Based on his account, Antifa and RCP appear to be the same thing: The first one...
