CNN has done America a great service by cataloging what it is exactly that the anti-Trump protesters want now that The Donald has gotten himself elected president. Most of these same people were baying about accepting the results of the election when Donald Trump hinted he might not want to concede. Well, these folks not only don't want to concede that Trump won fair and square, they want an entirely different result. Many demonstrators have used "Dump Trump" as a rallying cry. What does that mean exactly? It's a slogan that first gained traction as some Republicans pushed for the...

She could have said, “You people who are rioting are being hysterical. This is not the end of the republic, contrary to numerous such statements by my friends and allies. On the contrary, it shows that the republic still works and that dissent is still possible even after years of being stigmatized and demonized by the mainstream shapers of opinion. People who abide by the law have nothing whatsoever to worry about. Stop rioting and go home.” Instead, she spoke about how Muslims and gays are “scared to death,” which just stokes the hysteria of the rioters and provides them...

The post-election backlash against democratically chosen President-elect Donald Trump continued over the weekend, with rioters shutting down streets in cities across the country, while demonstrators “mourned” the Trump victory in public events at college campuses, high schools, and in at least one elementary school in Manhattan.

In Portland, Oregon, riots again shut down parts of the city on Saturday, with demonstrators shutting down several streets.

There should be no doubt the anti-Trump administration protests last night were directly coordinated by DNC operatives and the various affiliated interests within the left-wing national organizations OWS, RevCom, BLM, etc.The hundreds of various community organizing groups who have met with, and been led by, the Obama activism coalition in the past eight years were activated for a specific reason.  Everyone who has followed controversial political events over the past several years knows full well, none of this activity happens without direct White House approval. If President Obama wanted the streets cleared, his own speech could make that happen.  He...
