RUSH: “Twin Suicide Bombings Rock the Iraqi Capital.” This is CNN. The foreign policy failures of the Biden regime are starting to mount here, folks. You look at the timeline here. Joe Biden’s inauguration triggered violence in American cities and abroad. Did you see what’s going in Portland? Did you see the violence in Portland? Antifa is attacking Democrat Party buildings. And the political powers that be in Portland are begging them to stop with megaphones, with Al Sharpton megaphones today begging them to stop. And Antifa is saying things like, “We don’t want Biden. We want revenge.” They’re just...

People have already lost jobs because they were at the rally, or they made comments on public media supporting the rally. You’re next. When the bureaucracy gets rolling, they are going to hunt down Trump supporters and get them fired. It doesn’t matter if you have a clean record, or if you’re an honorably discharged veteran, or you have civil service protection. You will be gone. They won’t stop with getting you fired. Since you are now designated as a terrorist, they will freeze your bank accounts and credit cards. Your home will get repossessed and you will be out...

The Supreme Court is the major bulwark against the destruction of the Second Amendment at the federal level. The independence of the Court is essential to protect the Second Amendment at the Court. On The Russ Clark Show, a local radio show in Yuma Arizona, an investment guru guest, known only as “Edward”, made a prediction: The Supreme Court justices would not accept the Texas v. Pennsylvania lawsuit contesting the legality of the elections in four states. The show is local, but is regularly listened to by members of Congress (over the Internet). Congressmen and members of the Trump campaign...

Left-wing Democrats and Never Trump Republicans appealed Friday for assistance in compiling lists of Trump supporters to they could be held “accountable” for supporting President Donald Trump after the election. “Democratic socialist” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) tweeted: “Is anyone archiving these Trump sycophants for when they try to downplay or deny their complicity in the future? I foresee decent probability of many deleted Tweets, writings, photos in the future.”

The Vienna police will be delivering an address shortly via their facebook page, they have announced on Twitter. “On our Facebook page there will soon be a live stream of press statements from BM Nehammer, LPP Pürstl and General Director f. d. Public security,” they said.

Many leftists have directed some deeply disturbing rhetoric at conservatives and Trump supporters in recent months, claiming President Trump’s bombast is responsible for the political polarization of today’s America. This is pure nonsense.Sure, Trump talks about MS-13 as “animals,” Antifa as “thugs,” and Hillary Clinton as crooked enough to “be in jail.” His supporters know his presentation to be a bombastic and theatrical schtick, but he never threatens any group of voters.By contrast, some ominous tones, even homicidal and terrorist tones, are coming from the mainstream left. Increasingly, through mainstream media and Big Tech, high-profile leftists are speaking openly...

White supremacists and other like-minded groups have committed a majority of the terrorist attacks in the United States this year, according to a report by a security think tank that echoed warnings made by the Department of Homeland Security this month. The report, published Thursday by the Center for Strategic and International Studies, found that white supremacist groups were responsible for 41 of 61 “terrorist plots and attacks” in the first eight months of this year, or 67 percent. The finding comes about two weeks after an annual assessment by the Department of Homeland Security warned that violent white supremacy...

The FBI intercepted their communications, according to court documents obtained by KSAT, which showed them planning an attack in the name of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS).

The overwhelming obsession with "Islamophobia" is not supported by statistics. That may sound crass, but since 9/11, an additional 162Americans have been killed in 55 separate acts of deadly Islamic terror or Islam-related honor killing in the United States. Hundreds of mass murder plots have been thwarted or botched. The real story is not "Islamophobia" but American tolerance - which rightly refuses to punish the individual based on group identity. As the Muslim population increases in the United States, so too will the number of Islamic terror attacks. This is because the pool from which the radicals recruit grows bigger....

Thirteen men and a woman went on trial Wednesday over the 2015 attacks against the Charlie Hebdo satirical newspaper and a kosher supermarket in Paris that marked the beginning of a wave of violence by the Islamic State group in Europe.

Those on trial in France’s terrorism...

A new poll from Rasmussen indicates that almost two-thirds of Americans believe that “progressive activists” will “respond with violence” in the event that President Donald Trump secures reelection in November. In a sharp contrast, only a combined total of 38% of voters predicted that conservative activists would become violent in the event of a Joe Biden victory, with 16% of the public seeing it as very likely and 22% seeing it as somewhat likely.

Former President Obama blasted President Trump's opposition to the riots sweeping the country, calling it "politically motivated. Obviously, the chaos in our streets hurts Trump's reelection hopes. The polls clearly show this situation to be pushing voters toward Vice-President Biden. Rather than continue to denounce those intent on destroying the old America, President Trump should strive to unify the country by joining Joe to support this transformation to a new normal." Obama's position was applauded by Iranian Ayatollah Lotfollah Dezhkam: "We too congratulate those who are carrying out the 'death to America' wishes of every righteous Muslim. It is good...

There is considerable evidence of Leftist/Islamic collaboration in the recent riots, and one Islamic scholar has called openly for more bloodshed. This should be, but probably won’t be, a matter of concern for intelligence and law enforcement officials, because this imam is not in Tehran or Lahore or Kabul: he is in Philadelphia. The Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) reports that on June 2, an Islamic scholar in the City of Brotherly Love, Nafis Abu Zayd Sparrow, uploaded a video to the Maktabah Ibn Taymiyyah YouTube channel in which he dismisses peaceful protests on Islamic grounds: “Even scholars...
