No Kings” “nationwide day of defiance” protest’s official partners have bagged $114.8 million since 2019 from the Arabella Advisors dark money network and how professional protest organizations use tax dollars as a force multiplier. The expected worldwide mobilization of protests .. tumult is a carefully plotted production organized by The Indivisible Project and financed by the progressive dark money network Arabella Advisors, which has perfected the mounting of made-to-order protests. Since 2019, Arabella has dumped more than $100 million into the coffers of the official “No Kings” protest partners—including the creator of the official protest song book. ... The Arabella...

“Just … follow the money.” – Deep Throat, All the President’s MenThat used to be the watchword for investigative journalists. If you want to uncover corruption, find out where the money is coming from and where it is going. At least it used to be.Today? Not so much. At least not when doing so could implicate Democrats or upset the left’s agenda.Case in point is the Los Angeles riots. There’s plenty of reason to believe that the riots are being organized and financed by unsavory characters whose mission is to foment division and violence in the United States.Some of the...

As we braced for the sixth day of turmoil in the City of the Angels, it dawned on me that what we’re observing is an authorized riot. In fact, according to Jessica Tarlov, whose commentary one can hear on the Fox News program “The Five,” this riot is nothing more significant than a peaceful demonstration that turned unruly because Trump had the audacity to send in the National Guard. This mess, I’ve learned, started out as a justified expression of anger and disappointment against Trump’s bullying of the innocent. Until the National Guard escalated the situation, idealistic youth were merely...

[snip] To begin CNN This Morning's discussion of the anti-ICE riots, host Audie Cornish called on Karen Attiah, the creator and leader of the Resistance Summer School. As per its website, the school is: A "structure for radical learning . . . Students will explore how colonial legacies and racial hierarchies shape global politics, diplomacy, conflict, and coverage —and how media systems often reinforce (or resist) these power structures." Take a look below at the school's insignia featuring a clenched fist, a traditional socialist symbol. And it adopts as its motto, "A Luta Continua" [The Struggle Continues.] That was the...

Who funds the L.A. riots? We do.Sending in the National Guard, the Marines or for that matter, the Rangers, won’t stop the riots. Much like bombing Afghanistan didn’t stop Islamic terrorism, arresting street level activists isn’t going to deal with the root cause which operates at a level far above the Molotov hurlers. And that’s not just George Soros or the Ford Foundation (which got into funding the radicalization of Latinos back when George was still grifting his way across Manhattan) or a handful of groups here and there… it’s California’s entire Democratic political leadership. California’s permanent Democrat majority has...

Democrats have a long history of inciting violence. Examples abound, from starting the Civil War, to forming the KKK, to violently resisting school integration, to the Michael Brown and George Floyd riots, to the current anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles. Democrat-run cities are typically the most dangerous, poorly run environs in the U.S., and when you push the oppressor/victim narrative across the media landscape, violence gets put on the menu. Their rhetoric ramped up during Trump 45's administration when Democrat politicians and celebrities openly called for violence against President Trump and Republicans, even while accusing Republicans of being aggressors. And...

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...

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,...

BREAKING - Protesters have taken over the streets of Chicago, completely halting traffic, with Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson refusing to take any action.

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:...

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...

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...

SAN ANTONIO, Texas — Just outside the federal immigration courtroom in downtown San Antonio, organizers with the Party for Socialism and Liberation led an anti-ICE protest attended by more than 100 people. One passionate speaker identified herself as a San Antonio public school teacher, leading the crowd in chants calling for the end of ICE and the Police. Breitbart Texas captured video of Corrie Rosen, who identified herself as a public-school teacher and protest organizer with the San Antonio chapter of the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL) at a protest on Sunday outside San Antonio’s city hall. Demonstrators carried...

"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...

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass issued a threat to the feds as National Guard Troops were deployed to quell the riots. Bass warned the feds that the violent riots won’t stop unless the National Guard is withdrawn from Los Angeles. President Trump deputized 4,000 California National Guard Troops and deployed 700 US Marines to downtown Los Angeles after LAPD got overwhelmed by the violent anti-ICE rioters. California’s Democrat Governor Newsom and failed Democrat LA Mayor Karen Bass blamed the feds for the violence. Mayor Bass said the violence won’t stop until the feds withdraw from Los Angeles. WATCH: MAYOR KAREN...

Far-left Democratic California Governor Gavin Newsom will sue the Trump administration to stop its federalizing the National Guard to quell what President Trump is calling an insurrection in Los Angeles. The insurrectionists attacked federal immigration and other agents, and then local police, after Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested illegal-alien rapists, murderers, and other criminals. But whatever the merits of Newsom’s lawsuit, what Trump might do next — declare an insurrection — could well end it. President Trump must invoke the Insurrection Act. Americans confront millions of illegals who pose an existential threat to the American Republic. Given the size...

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...
