Nexus X HumectressSo maybe the “new normal” will be that the summer season is for baseball and left-wing riots, and the winter season is for basketball and right-wing riots. Fair enough. By Brett Wilkins, Common Dreams
By Eric Boehm, Reason Shortly after reposting an article that criticized Twitter’s decision to ban President Donald Trump, former congressman and presidential candidate Ron Paul says he was locked out of his own Facebook page. The page is still active and appears to be functioning normally for other […]
By Juan Dal Mosa and Warren Montag, Left Voices Some people argue that the far Right is small. Should we be reassured that “only” 45 percent of Republicans, that is, 30 million people, support the riot at the Capitol? We must reject facile economism to understand the Trump […]
From left: Toussaint L’Ouverture, Gabriel Prosser and Denmark Vesey. by Don Fitz The May 25, 2020 murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis sparked a civil rights explosion. It ignited pushes to demilitarize the police, reallocate police over-funding to necessary social services, end economic and power divides, and replace […]
US politics right now (and to some degree Western politics generally) seems to be kind of repeat of what happened in the 19th century when the rising industrial bourgeois was eclipsing the traditional royal, aristocratic, an clerical elites as the dominant class. Right now we have this rising […]
This guy really needs to be the subject of a comic stip where the main character is some stereotypical anarcho-loser.
Dave Rubin of The Rubin Report talks to Tulsi Gabbard (former Congresswoman) about the Big Tech social media purge, Trump being banned from Twitter, the censorship of Parler by Google, Apple and Amazon and shares an exclusive announcement with Rubin Report viewers. Tulsi Gabbard shares her concerns with […]
A panel of priests cry about the temple being desecrated. New York Times columnist David Brooks and Washington Post columnist Jonathan Capehart join Judy Woodruff to discuss the week in politics, including the rampage at the Capitol, President Trump’s potential impeachment, and the future of the Republican Party.
Here it comes. Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti discuss what the long-term law enforcement reaction will be to the riots at the Capitol.
This offers an interesting perspective though I tend to disagree on a few points. I prefer for the Internet to be the proverbial “Wild West.” Saagar Enjeti analyzes Trump’s removal from various social media platforms and discusses how conservatives should react.
This commentary is fairly nuance commentary. Krystal strikes me as being similar to Tulsi in the sense of being frequently lame but capable of learning. Krystal Ball reflects on Rising’s coverage of Trump’s presidency and the 2020 election specifically, noting the successful moments and the moments she regrets.
I don’t care whether Trump is impeached or 25thed or not, but January 6 had to be about the most jerk-off “insurrection” or “coup attempt” in history. Team Rising reacts to a clip of Senator James Clyburn saying that the House may wait until after Biden’s first 100 […]
“Rising” would be a much better program if it were co-hosted by an an-com and an-cap rather than a Berniesis and a Carlsonite. Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti debate whether or not President Trump and other prominent Republican leaders who backed “Stop The Steal” should be impeached or […]
Many of the titles offered by Black Front Press include essays by yours truly, along with many other interesting writers. The website for Black Press is available here.
Apparently, Amazon is no longer carrying titles offered by my primary publisher (too controversial!). But it’s still possible to order directly from the publisher, which is Black House Publishing. The website for Black House is available here.
Princess Nancy’s first hand account of the plebes’ invasion of the castle.
Another leftist take on the Capitol incident. By Mike Davis Yesterday’s ‘sacrileges’ in our temple of democracy – oh, poor defiled city on the hill, etc. – constituted an ‘insurrection’ only in the sense of dark comedy. What was essentially a big biker gang dressed as circus performers […]
A fairly interesting analysis of the split between the pigs and the “far-right” from a semi-far-left perspective. By Jarrod Shanahan, Hard Crackers On January 6th a determined mob from across the United States descended on Washington, D.C. They rumbled with police, overturned barricades, breached the perimeter of the […]
PBS reporters on the Capitol riot.
This is a pretty interesting segment with Glenn Greenwald, an executive from Parler, a former aide to Boris Johnson, etc.
By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit Mainstream pop culture historians always deify the 1960’s as some kind of Woodstock utopian fantasy gone to seed. But any true countercultural history buff knows that the Seventies were where it was really at. After Charlie Manson scared off the flower children, […]
As I have been predicting for 20 years. Big Tech is becoming a dominant faction of the ruling class (along with Big Finance and the always present BLOB). The professional managerial class has become the new clergy with totalitarian humanism as its ideology. Tech industry managers are the […]
I think it’s pretty safe to say at this point that the Democratic Party is now the political arm of “Big Tech” and the major social media outlets are merely a division of the Democratic Party’s media complex, along with CNN, MSNBC, and the traditional networks. The same […]
It couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy. I wouldn’t want these lunatics taking over the state,and I wouldn’t want to live under the kind of regime at least of some of them would probably create in many instances (the same is true of many on the “far […]
Today NBC News national security analyst Frank Figliuzzi joins Sunday TODAY’s Willie Geist to discuss how officials are able to track down people who stormed the Capitol on Wednesday. “Rest assured, if you were inside that Capitol building, consequences are coming, and it may not be a polite […]
By Michael Levenson, New York Times A man who had an assault rifle was charged with threatening Nancy Pelosi, the House speaker, after he traveled to Washington for the pro-Trump rally on Wednesday and sent a text message saying he would put “a bullet in her noggin on […]
The Princess is crying because someone vandalized the aristocrat’s castle.
The political class and their allies in the media seem to be taking all this a bit personally.
In this, Rather actually claims that the riot at the Capitol was worse than the Great Depression, WW2, Watergate, and 9-11. These folks definitely give Trump a run for his money in terms of narcissistic capabilities.
Apparently, General Colon’s fraudulent presentation at the UN in 2003 about Iraq’s non-existent nuclear weapons somehow wasn’t a “national disgrace.” Former Secretary of State Colin Powell says Wednesday was a ‘national disgrace, but we’ll come through it.’ Secy. Powell questions the lack of organized security at the U.S. […]
By Caitlin Dickson, Yahoo News The past 72 hours have been a rollercoaster of emotions for Trump supporters — especially the millions who have bought into the web of online conspiracies that fall under the umbrella of QAnon. Ever since a violent mob, including some with ties to […]
By Pete Williams and Erik Ortiz and Alex Moe, NBC News WASHINGTON — A man photographed casually sitting with his foot on a desk in House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s office at the U.S. Capitol while a pro-Trump mob rampaged the halls of Congress was arrested Friday, law enforcement […]
By Victoria Albert, Audrey McNamar, CBS News Jake Angeli, who was photographed on Wednesday standing shirtless inside the Senate chamber, wearing a horned hat with a painted face, was taken into custody Saturday, according to the Department of Justice. “Jacob Anthony Chansley, a.k.a. Jake Angeli, of Arizona, was […]
By Jessica DeLeon, Miami Herald Florida resident Adam Christian Johnson, the man captured in viral photo carrying Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s lectern from House chambers during the riot at the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday, has been arrested. Johnson, 36, was arrested by Federal Marshals and booked into the Pinellas […]
By Gustaf Kilander, Yahoo News! At least six Republican state legislators took part in events surrounding the storming of the US Capitol. West Virginia Delegate Derrick Evans posted a video of himself entering the building but later deleted it, The New York Times reported. Tennessee state lawmaker Terri […]
By Ronan Farrow, New Yorker As insurrectionists stormed the U.S. Capitol this week, a few figures stood out. One man, clad in a combat helmet, body armor, and other tactical gear, was among the group that made it to the inner reaches of the building. Carrying zip-tie handcuffs, […]
Wilson’s analysis of the future of the GOP seems likely enough. As rioters stormed the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday, Maryland Governor Larry Hogan’s efforts to send in state police and the National Guard were blocked by the federal government for a full 90 minutes. Now, Hogan – a […]
It looks like the state is increasingly being delegitimized. At least this state, anyway. This outpouring of disrespect for political and legal authority is a wonderful sight to behold.
WARNING: STRONG LANGUAGE – A group of supporters of President Trump confronted Senator Lindsey Graham at Washington’s Reagan National Airport. Police escorted Graham from the area.
