This is not a war zone, a riot didn’t happen here, and no a bomb didn’t go off here This is Los Angeles, California in a location that used to be full of stores. Busy traffic still drives by and Gavin Newsom wants to be President… “You know I love exploring but even I got my limits when I’m by myself”

OMG.. you cannot make this up..

Tensions boiled over outside Portland’s ICE building late Thursday night when police detained independent reporter Nick Sortor during a confrontation with protesters. Sortor, known for his on-the-ground coverage of stories often overlooked by mainstream outlets, found himself in handcuffs after what witnesses described as a defensive response to an attack. VIDEOS AT LINK............ One observer, C.K. Bouferrache, who goes by Honeybadgermom on X, captured the confusion in real time: “Looked like @nicksortor got jumped. We are on the lower roof at ICE but difficult to tell exactly what happened at this distance. Portland liaison officers stand nearby and watch.” Bouferrache...

Message from President Trump! Must See!

Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) shared a study that showed that left-wing terrorism had reached a “30-year high,” and criticized Democrats for using rhetoric such as “Hitler” or “fascist.” In a post on X, Fetterman included a screenshot of an Axios article titled “Study: Left-wing terrorism climbs to 30-year high.” Fetterman noted that “political violence is always wrong,” and called for everyone to “turn the temperature down.” “Unchecked extreme rhetoric, like labels as Hitler or fascist, will foment more extreme outcomes,” Fetterman said. […] The CSIS “compiled and analyzed a data set of 750 domestic attacks and plots” that had occurred...

The Secret Service said it is looking into a video of a California man who openly called for the murder of President Donald Trump on camera. The shocking clip was shared by Shane Ginsberg, who runs The Street Poller, to his X profile showing his interaction with the unknown man. 'F*** Donald Trump, he's racist and he's a pedophile', the man said to Ginsberg who informed him that Trump would remain in power for the next three years. Unfazed, the man shockingly continued: 'We already killed his friend, and the next one is Donald Trump. You'll be next to for...

ThePersistence @ScottPresler BREAKING The New Jersey gubernatorial election is TIED! 🟥 Jack Ciattarelli: 43% 🟦 Mikie Sherrill: 43% I’m asking everyone across the country to focus your time, talent, & energy on New Jersey.

Australia would reverse its decision on Palestinian state recognition if there is a change of government in Australia, the country’s Opposition Leader and Liberal Party head, Sussan Ley, told Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar, Sa’ar later revealed in a X/Twitter post on Monday. Ley, believing that Australia’s decision rewards Hamas, noted her disappointment at “this break with bipartisanship and reiterated the Coalition’s long-held position that recognition must only come at the end of a genuine two-state process,” she wrote, also in a X/Twitter post. “Now is the wrong time while Hamas holds hostages and while conflict still rages. The Australian...

Would-be assassin Nicholas Roske failed to carry out his mission of assassinating Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. This isn’t surprising: the sort of person who acts on incitement from the likes of Chuck Schumer is more or less deranged, and more or less incompetent. Yet there are more where Roske came from, and one of them may succeed.What do the Democrats think about attempted assassinations of Supreme Court justices? To my knowledge, neither Schumer nor Joe Biden’s handlers have commented. I surmise that the Democrats are hoping for one or more assassinations to take place before Biden is hustled out...

Another day, another perfectly sane and rational reaction from Keith Olbermann. (Sarcasm intended.) Less than two weeks after Charlie Kirk was brutally murdered by a radical leftist, ol' Keith figured now would be a good time to smooth things over by threatening another conservative media personality. But, as reported by the New York Post, this isn't unusual territory for Olbermann: Olbermann faced criticism last week for his reaction to ABC affiliate Sinclair's decision to air a remembrance for Kirk over Kimmel's show, an announcement made before the comedian was suspended. Olbermann's lovely social media post that time: Yeah. He's a...

A North Carolina police officer who declared he was “Antifa” in a post on the social media app BlueSky was fired Monday by the Orange County Sheriff’s Office, according to the News & Observer. Brian Edwards, 37, served as a detention officer for the agency while making the posts and had been promoted to corporal in May, the News & Observer reported. Edwards’ posts included calls for subjecting “traitors” to “war crimes trials” and hinted at executing them. “I maintain that the biggest mistake the US government has ever made was letting the traitors from the civil war back into...

Liberal political commentator Keith Olbermann deleted a social media post Monday in which he appeared to threaten conservative CNN analyst Scott Jennings. “You’re next -------–---,” read Olbermann’s deleted X post, according to a screenshot shared by Townhall columnist Dustin Grage “But keep mugging to the camera,” the former MSNBC and ESPN host added, in another deleted tweet, according to the grabs Jennings retweeted from Grage while tagging FBI Director Kash Patel.

Conservative actor James Woods decided to share his thoughts on Thursday on X. At first, it looked like he would shock everybody with his take on Kimmel’s misfortune. Woods wrote, ” We’ve all made jokes at Jimmy Kimmel’s expense.” But Mr. Kimmel is a fellow artist, and I am heartbroken to see how he has been treated.” “I believe he is, in his heart of hearts, a good and decent fellow, devoid of malice and hate,” he continued. Then, Woods performed a sudden heel turn, revealing how he felt about Kimmel getting sacked. “Just kidding, Jimbo,” he quipped. “Eat sh*t.”

Breaking news out of Virginia, and it’s the kind of news that should make every Republican’s heart race with pride! The numbers are in, and they are stunning: conservative, Republican-leaning counties are shattering expectations in early voting, leaving Democrat strongholds in the dust. In Dinwiddie County, turnout is soaring to a jaw-dropping 82%. Goochland is not far behind at 72%. Hanover—rock solid conservative territory—is holding strong at 62%. These aren’t just numbers on a page. They are proof of a movement, proof of energy, and proof that the Republican grassroots is more alive and determined than ever. Now let’s look...

NEW: The man who shot up the ABC affiliate in Sacramento following the suspension of Jimmy Kimmel, has been identified as Anibal Hernandez-Santana. An X account that appears to belong to Hernandez-Santana is full of anti-Trump posts, as reported by Variety. The man, 64, previously worked as a legislative director for the California Federation of Teachers, the outlet reported. “The authoritarian oligarchy is now complete. CBS+ caving, big law firms in DC, the subservients FBI and AG, university presidents stepping down, fan boys SCOTUS, public radio, ICE goons. We are going to have to ‘fight like hell’…” the account that...

(J/k with the title. It's his usual leftist lunacy but... surprisingly judgmental about the followers of Islam. Who is he to judge another culture? Racist, too.) Conversation Collin Rugg @CollinRugg A frantic actor Mark Ruffalo mocks conservatives who were censored and cancelled before saying those same people should rally behind Jimmy Kimmel. “We all have to come together.” “Think of yourselves living under the Taliban because that's where we're headed.” I’m having a really hard time feeling bad for the Hollywood elite right now.

In 2035, when Tesla is making more than 10,000,000 Optimus per year, Tesla will run ads like this on TV. “Four easy payments of $6,942” I (i.e., Chris First, @chrisfirst) created the first ad for the @Tesla_Optimus robot, inspired by classic late-night TV commercials.

(Warning: long rant) My liberal friends are completely oblivious about how radicalizing the last week has been for tens of millions of normal Americans. Zero clue. I’m not talking about people who are “online”; I mean regular, everyday Americans. “Normies.” People who scroll through Facebook posts and Instagram reels from the Dutch Bros drive thru line. Political moderates who have water cooler chats about Mahomes touchdowns and Bon Jovi concerts, not Twitter threads or Rachel Maddow monologues. Millions of them. Tens of millions. They’re logging on, they’re engaging, and they’re furious. And I’ll be candid: They blame you guys. They...

A slew of deranged users on Bluesky sent a barrage of threats to prominent Republicans and outspoken media personalities immediately after conservative activist Charlie Kirk was assassinated Wednesday. Posters called for Tesla tycoon Elon Musk, conservative podcasters Ben Shapiro, Matt Walsh and Michael Knowles, as well as “Harry Potter” author J.K. Rowling, to be “next” in the hours after Kirk, 31, was pronounced dead, according to screenshots shared by one user. Some brazen accounts called for outright violence, including one who wrote, “I hope they shoot Ben Shapiro next,” while another compared the violence to a “game of whack a...

VIDEOWINNING!!!On his latest CNN Sunday show, Michael Smerconish acknowledged the obvious, namely that President Trump is on a WINNING roll. This observation caused many Bluesky Bolsheviks to go BERSERK as you can see in their comments that accompany Smerconish listing Trump's many recent WINS.
