It wasn’t all that long ago that Democrats were defending and bailing out rioters and looters during the BLM race riots. Or that In Defense of Looting was making the rounds of bookstores. They’ve tamped it down a bit since transitioning to abortion, but looting rights is still on the agenda. MSNBC’s Joy Reid likened Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) to segregationists after his warning to potential looters in the aftermath of Hurricane Ian. For the much of the past week, DeSantis has been dealing with the storm’s impact as the death toll continues to rise and Florida faces an...

Lore-Elisabeth Blumenthal, 35, pleaded guilty in March to downgraded charges of obstructing, impeding and interfering with law enforcement officers for firebombing the two cop cars outside Philadelphia City Hall as protests raged in the city. At her sentencing hearing Thursday, Blumenthal said she was high on drugs and in the throes of addiction when she torched the cars, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported. “My substance abuse left...

Ever wonder why there seems to be a limitless supply of Antifa terrorists in Portland, Ore., year after year, riot after riot, conflagration after conflagration? Why there’s no shortage of purple-haired screamers willing to toss Molotov cocktails, tag buildings with old-timey revolutionary slogans, set GOP headquarters on fire, firebomb pregnancy clinics, punch people they don’t like, loot stores, and point lasers into the eyes of police officers? Wonder no more. The Antifa summer camp for kids is back this summer for the first time since their fellow travelers in communist China unleashed the COVID-19 virus on the world. Once again,...

Thousands of pro-abortion protesters gathered outside Philadelphia’s City Hall on Friday night after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. The pro-abortion activists reportedly gathered at Philadelphia’s City Hall and marched towards Independence Hall and back to show their frustration with the Supreme Court’s decision. Some protesters held signs that read “my body, my choice,” while others sang, “we want justice.” One protester criticized congressional Democrats for not taking action to codify Roe into law before the Court overturned it. “They’ve had 50 years to codify it into a real law versus just a Supreme Court decision,” one protester told...

Malik Fard Muhammad, 25, and his girlfriend Kristin McGuire traveled from Indianapolis, Ind., to Portland, Ore., to fight with cops. Muhammad will be extending his stay for an extra ten years, compliments of the feds. Muhammad is alleged to have traveled to Portland with his girlfriend from their home in Indianapolis for the specific purpose of violently engaging in civil disorder during recent area riots. On September 5, 2020, during a large civil disturbance in east Portland, demonstrators threw dangerous objects at police, including commercial grade fireworks, Molotov cocktails, and bottles. At least one demonstrator was seriously burned by a...

Mayor-elect Eric Adams is entirely right to slam the “professional” rioters and anarchists who pour into the city’s streets after events like the Kyle Rittenhouse verdict. Unfortunately, though, many of them are anything but outsiders. He was commenting on the crews who in the name of “justice” caused chaos across the city. They vandalized vehicles in Queens, even marking a car with handicapped plates with “F—k you” graffiti in black spray paint. They jumped on cars, stole American flags and vandalized innocent strangers’ homes. Roughly 300 other protesters gathered outside Brooklyn’s Barclays Center, where the Nets played the Orlando Magic...

A radical environmental group raised a few eyebrows on Twitter after encouraging people to let the tires out of SUVs in an apparent bid to combat climate change.The group, Adbusters, tweeted step-by-step instructions for the provocation on Wednesday, calling it a "gentle escalation" or ramping up the urgency about climate change."Wedge gravel in the tire valves, leaflet the SUV to let them know the tires are flat and why it was done, and walk away. It’s that simple," the group tweeted. "If we organize, we can hit enough SUVs in particular neighborhoods to spark reporting and spread the metameme."

Senator Susan Collins (R-ME) said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that former President Donald Trump should not have said he would pardon those charged for the riot at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. Saturday during a ‘Save America Rally’ in Texas, Trump said, “If I run and I win, we will treat those people from January 6 fairly. We will treat them fairly. And if it requires pardons, we will give them pardons because they are being treated so unfairly.”

Representative Bennie Thompson (D-MS), the chairman of the House select committee investigating the January 6 riot, said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that his committee had seen evidence there was “communication” between members of Congress and rioters. Anchor Chuck Todd asked, “Have you seen any evidence, or do you have any indication that maybe members of Congress assisted any of the rioters on that day?”

Jury finds Kyle Rittenhouse found not guilty on all counts.

Whoopi Goldberg told her co-hosts Friday on ABC’s “The View” that she believes the rioters on January 6 at the U.S. Capitol would have “hung” the vice president if they found him. Goldberg said, “We’ve been celebrating you-know-who being out of the office. We’re celebrating that he’s not in office since the election, but he’s still not. He’s still mad. He’s still complaining. He still thinks he won. ABC News chief Washington correspondent Jonathan Karl released interview audio for his new book ‘Betrayal’ where he asked about January 6th rioters threatening to kill the former vice president. Take a listen.

Two alleged Capitol rioters claimed they are being “force fed” critical race theory in a Washington, D.C., jail where they have been detained. Ryan Nichols of Texas and Robert Morss of Pennsylvania wrote a letter to a D.C. federal judge on Tuesday alleging that they have endured “constitutional, human, and civil rights violations." Among a list of 77 grievances, the men allege that they must beg for water and medical aid, and that they are not allowed religious services or visitors.

CLEVELAND - A tape recording of the 1970 shooting deaths of four Kent State University students by Ohio National Guardsmen reveals the sound of pistol shots 70 seconds earlier, a newspaper reported Friday citing the work of a forensic audio expert. The finding lends support to a theory that the guardsmen thought they were being shot at during a campus Vietnam War protest. Witnesses said at the time that an FBI informant monitoring the protest fired warning shots because he felt threatened.

Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “All In” that a “predication” existed to pursue an investigation into whether members of Congress were delaying certification of the 2020 presidential election results to keep a “time window open” to allow the mob to enter the Capitol on January 6.

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy Tuesday warned American telecommunication companies not to turn over records related to an investigation by House Democrats into the January 6 Capitol Hill riot. "Adam Schiff, Benny Thompson, and Nancy Pelosi’s attempts to strong-arm private companies to turn over individuals’ private data would put every American with a phone or computer in the crosshairs of a surveillance state run by Democrat politicians," the California Republican said in a statement to Fox News’ Tucker Carlson. "If these companies comply with the Democrat order to turn over private information, they are in violation of federal law and...
