During a Senate hearing on Tuesday, Senator Ted Cruz, raised an issue with FBI Director Kash Patel that others, including President Trump, have raised as well. “I want to more broadly encourage you to follow the money,” said Cruz. “The violence we are seeing is not purely organic. There is, I believe, significant money that is spreading dissension, that is spreading violence.” As to whether the George Floyd riots of 2020 were orchestrated, Senator Cruz need look no further than an extraordinary article published by Time magazine in February 2021. The author, Molly Ball, laid out in exquisite detail what...

Since 2016, George Soros’s Open Society Foundations (OSF), now run with his son Alexander, has poured over $80 million into groups tied to terrorism or extremist violence. The evidence is stark: Open Society has sent millions of dollars into U.S.-based organizations that engage in “direct actions” that the FBI defines as domestic terrorism. These groups include the Center for Third World Organizing and its militant partner Ruckus Society, which trained activists in property destruction and sabotage during the 2020 riots, and the Sunrise Movement, which endorsed the Antifa-linked Stop Cop City campaign, in which activists currently face over 40 domestic...

A rally will be held in Boston on Monday afternoon in response to federal immigration raids in Los Angeles and across the country. In a statement, the Massachusetts chapter of the national group 50501 “vigorously” condemned “the violent actions of ICE and the Trump administration against peaceful protesters in Los Angeles,” and said it is “mobilizing in solidarity with local union leaders in Massachusetts.” The 50501 group will lead the nonviolent “emergency rally” at Boston City Hall Plaza from 2 p.m. until 3 p.m. Participants will organize at 1:30 p.m. ... “This is an attack on American liberty,” said Mass...

President Trump called out former Republican Pennsylvania Governor Tom Ridge on Twitter Thursday. According to CNN the former Homeland Security secretary says he doesn’t think President Trump should bring federal agents to cities with protests. In the tweet Trump said, “Recently watched failed RINO Tom Ridge, former head of Homeland Security, trying to justify his sudden love of the Radical Left Mayor of Portland, who last night was booed & shouted out of existence by the agitators & anarchists. Love watching pathetic Never Trumpers squirm!”

Meet historical fascism’s true heirs.In the famous anecdote usually attributed to Bertrand Russel, a scientist lecturing on the earth’s position in the solar system is corrected an old lady who says the earth is actually supported by a giant turtle. When the scientist asked what supports the turtle, she triumphally answered, “It’s turtles all the way down!”Since the Twenties and the rise of Italian Fascism and German Nazism––which eventually become the main referent of the word––the term has become an all-purpose question-begging epithet so promiscuously abused in the Thirties that, as George Orwell said in 1944, “The word Fascism has...

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz ridiculed Donald Trump on the campaign trail after the former president appeared to briefly struggle while climbing into a garbage truck. Trump staged the moment to hit at President Joe Biden for calling Trump supporters garbage – or at least seeming to do so in a mangled comment during a zoom fundraising call. Trump's team engineered a PR coup by having the former president get inside a garbage truck to condemn his rival, then appear in a safety vest during an election when working class voters are key. But footage of Trump briefly missing the truck's...

Folks, advice needed: I live in South Philadelphia, the heart of the inner city. Some non-negotiable things: I’m not moving, I won’t surrender the ownership of my home, no surrender. So, in anticipation of the Election, I’ve stocked up on batteries, lanterns, charcoal, matches, canned goods, fire extinguishers, cash, gold, candles, ammo, non-firing weapons, first aid supplies (wife is a Nurse) and gasoline. Anyone better versed in this than I am have suggestions which I may have overlooked?

To our TGP readers: We had the honor and pleasure to speak with and interview Victoria White in October 2022. Victoria is a wonderful American, a committed mother, a victim of unbelievable police violence, and a beautiful person. Victoria was beaten over 40 times with open fists and sticks on January 6. Victoria White from Rochester, Minnesota attended the Stop the Steal rally in Washington DC on January 6th. Like many Americans that day it was her first time she ever visited Washington DC. She was excited to attend the rally and stand with President Trump at the Ellipse. What...

... for 'security services' in 2022, while sister of board member earned $1.1M for 'consulting' * Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation, a non-profit that grew out of the protest movement, is haemorrhaging cash, financial records show * The group ran an $8.5 million deficit and saw the value of its investment accounts drop by nearly $10 million, with fundraising down 88% year-on-year * Despite the financial woes, the organization still paid relatives of the founder and of a board member hundreds of thousands of dollars for services Black Lives Matter's national organization is at risk of going bankrupt after...

An anti-police Black Lives Matter protester who was hit by a car in a horrific accident as she and fellow Summer of Love activists blocked a freeway is now suing those she believes are responsible for her injuries. For those who know this caliber of the professional protester class, you will not be surprised in the least to learn that Diaz Love, who’s 34 and old enough to know better, takes no responsibility for the incident. Indeed, now that she’s healed up and lawyered up, she’s decided that her injuries suffered while blocking the freeway on a busy Fourth...

Welcome to Your Weekend the sentiments of my week expressed in the music set that reflects my opening up the boxes of my past to sort things out and throw away some things and keep others. The cards and letters from people in my past like the guy that lived in an "Animal House" fraternity setting and ended up joining the Salvation Army. The man who was the Best Man at my wedding who told me the truth about myself just years after I got married and was working in the mainstream media serving as the officer of the church...

The Book of Ecclesiastes says that there is nothing new under the sun. And while many have spoken of the “unprecedented” nature of the rioting in the early summer of 2020, it is actually quite precedented. The Long, Hot Summer of 1967 was the peak of urban unrest and rioting in the United States in the lead up to the 1968 election. While there are certainly a number of key differences, there are also a number of striking parallels that make the topic worthy of discussion and examination. Continue reading The Long, Hot Summer of 1967: A Forgotten Season of...

Love was allegedly captured on video kicking the victim in the head as he sat on the ground after being beaten by several rioters, knocking the man unconscious. Police said investigators are looking for Love and have probable cause for his arrest. They also urged the public not to contact him, after 4chan users identified him on Monday and posted his name and Facebook profile on social media.

In the 1960s and early '70s, the U.S. was convulsed by massive protests calling for radical changes in the country's attitudes on race, class, gender and sexual orientation. The Vietnam War and widespread college deferments were likely the fuel that ignited prior peaceful civil disobedience. Sometimes the demonstrations became violent, as with the Watts riots of 1965 and the protests at the 1968 Democratic convention in Chicago. Terrorists from the Weathermen (later called the Weather Underground) bombed dozens of government buildings. The '60s revolution introduced to the country everything from hippies, communes, free love, mass tattooing, commonplace profanity, rampant drug...

Let blue cities and their feckless leaders reckon with the destruction of the violence and looting. Remember all those “peaceful protestors,” later amended to “mostly peaceful protestors”? You probably recall, also, the Main Stream Media’s determined effort to portray the people in the streets protesting the death of George Floyd as nothing but well-meaning reformers—until pictures and video made the spin wear thin. Indeed, now even Democratic politicians are conceding that this wasn’t the “summer of love.” With costly reality staring him in the face, Minnesota governor Tim Walz, on July 2, sent a letter to President Trump, formally requesting...

Portland police used tear gas against protesters who had erected barricades and shot fireworks at the Hatfield Federal Courthouse in the city. Friday was the third riot in Portland this week. Several hundred activists marched on Friday evening into the streets around the courthouse in downtown Portland, bearing makeshift shields and diverse materials they used to erect some barricades, police said. In the early hours of Saturday, the situation became increasingly volatile, with Portland police declaring a riot at around 4am local time. Officers deployed tear gas and pushed the protesters away from the courthouse. Earlier in the night, a...

The destructive behavior characterizing Seattle’s “autonomous zone” – otherwise known as the CHOP and formerly known as the CHAZ – is surely viewed through different lenses by the people occupying and doing the damage and those that legally live in the area and have been inconvenienced and menaced over the last month. That distinction has been highlighted recently by lawsuits filed against city leaders who, residents say, have failed to protect the lives, liberty, and property of the people living near the CHAZ/CHOP. As a result of that, and the mendacity of Mayor Jenny Durkan, things seem to have turned...

Surveillance video of a shooting at Seattle's CHOP zone that left a black 16-year-old boy dead and a 14-year-old seriously injured shows gunfire ringing out as the Jeep the teens were in plowed into a barricade and a man screaming: 'Oh you're not dead yet?'. Homicide detectives said they are investigating after the two teenagers were shot in a white Jeep near a makeshift barrier around the Capitol Hill Organized Protest (CHOP) zone at about 3am on Monday. Those inside the zone say CHOP security guards, who are self-appointed and heavily armed, started shooting at the Jeep only after the...
