“The issue is never the issue. The issue is the revolution,” said the late David Horowitz, quoting a 1960s rebel. The Palestinian conflict, the climate, transgenderism, immigration, and abortion are all proximate causes for protests and now terrorism. But they are all also part of an amalgamated “omnicause” whose real purpose is to bring down the United States and the West. Following the assassination of Charlie Kirk and other recent tragedies that are rightly garnering worldwide attention, our leaders have finally woken up and are looking into who the perpetrators are and who organizes and finances them. After Kirk’s death,...

The far-left radical movement known as Antifa has been getting its own taste of cancel culture. For some people who ascribe to the Antifa ideology, protests and petty vandalism have gotten old — with groups now turning to ghastly acts of violence. Experts who track domestic terrorism and extremist movements aren’t surprised: Once the face of a grassroots leftwing insurgency, Antifa has lost its spark. But experts warn that could be a dangerous thing, as the vacuum has given way to even more fringe and violent offshoots that are coalescing in the Marxist ether. And we’re only beginning to see...

Graham Platner, the Democratic U.S. Senate nominee from Sullivan, wrote about his involvement with the Socialist Rifle Association using the Reddit handle P-Hustle.

Prominent Democrats in North Dakota donated to the legal defense fund of a man accused of attacking a Republican senator’s office with an axe. North Dakota Democratic-Nonpartisan League Party chairwoman Kylie Oversen, party official Ellie Shockley and former lieutenant gubernatorial contender Ellen Chaffee gave money to support 30-year-old Thomas “Tas” Alexander Starks.

A twelfth suspect has been charged and is being sought in the ambush on the night of July Fourth at the ICE Prairieland Detention Center in Alvarado, Texas following the arrests of eleven other alleged Antifa members in the shooting attack that wounded an Alvarado police officer in the neck. The FBI announced on Wednesday up to a $25,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of former Marine Reservist Benjamin Song, 32, who has been charged with six counts related to the attack. Several of the rifles found at the scene of the ambush are allegedly tied...

Gay and transgender liberals around the country are arming themselves over perceived concerns they’ll be rounded up and placed in “concentration camps” under a second Trump administration, according to a report. The Philadelphia Inquirer on Sunday profiled several members of the emerging gun-toting left, who belong to groups with names like the Liberal Gun Club, the Socialist Rifle Association and Pink Pistols. Although precise figures regarding LGBTQ gun ownership are tough to ascertain given the small cohort, the Liberal Gun Club told the outlet that it’s received “thousands” of firearms training requests since the election — more than in all...

Far-left miscreant Thomas Alexander Starks, 31, of Lisbon, North Dakota, pleaded guilty to destruction of government property last April. Starks brought an ax to Sen. John Hoeven’s office in Fargo on December 21, 2020, and smashed an intercom and glass door. The attack was captured on video. Federal guidelines suggested Starks should spend 10–16 months in the hoosegow, but because he is a protected member of Antifa, he was sentenced to mere probation and ordered to pay $2,784 in restitution. Keep in mind that there are people still in solitary confinement for taking non-violent selfies in the Capitol on January...
