Nice work. Associated Press OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — A protest through the streets of downtown Oakland, California, in support of racial justice and police reform turned violent when a small group of demonstrators wearing helmets and goggles and carrying large signs that doubled as shields set fire to […]
The Anti-Jerk Off Club mixes it up with the Hawaiian shirt guys. By Deliverance During a rally at the Ohio Statehouse, with tensions rising; an altercation broke out during a protest between a member of the <Redacted> Movement (known for their floral hawiian shirts and protesting while armed) […]
People are individuals, not colors. “…among self-identified Democrats, blacks and Latinos are less likely to describe themselves as liberal than whites. Data from this AP/NORC poll comports with Pew’s findings: The majority of blacks say they are moderate (44 percent) or conservative (27 percent), while just 26 percent […]
By Peter Aitken FOX News Opposing militias met in downtown Louisville on Saturday, ending a tense standoff without any violence, according to authorities. The Louisville Metro Police Department claimed to have advanced warning about two heavily armed militias that planned to protest on Saturday. The “Three Percenter” militia […]
The battle lines have obviously been drawn between the partisans, but what I am most curious about is what the actual turnout for the election is going to be. This 13% seems to come mostly from the “politically disengaged” category identified by the “Hidden Tribes” study from 2018. […]
Trumpists should remember that this is the system that will be inherited by future presidents Biden, Harris, O’Rourke, Buttigieg, Rice, Power, Newsom, Cuomo, Whitmer, etc. By Umair Haque Void Network Yesterday, the Mayor of Portland was gassed by the secret police of storm troopers that Donald Trump has […]
By Paul Meara BET Bernell Trammell, a Black Donald Trump supporter, was reportedly shot and killed in Milwaukee on Thursday (July 23). According to Fox 6, the 60-year-old was gunned down during a drive-by shooting in the neighborhood where he was known for displaying signs reading “Vote Trump […]
By Rand Paul Reason In a free society, citizens should be able to easily distinguish between civilian law enforcement tasked with keeping the peace in our communities and the armed forces tasked with protecting our country from foreign adversaries. Unfortunately, thanks to the federal government flooding our neighborhoods […]
The construction site for a new youth jail in Seattle is definitely on fire right now.
To ask the question is to answer. Somehow, the USA managed to exist for 200 years without the DHS. By Jonathan Blitzer New Yorker
A fairly interesting fourth-generation warfare approach. In Portland, the Hockey Stick Brigade is now in force, smacking tear gas canisters back in the direction they came from: the illegal occupying army.
Municipal police typically function as the private army of politically-connected business and real estate interests. This is a fairly significant fourth-generation warfare victory, relatively speaking.
I’m happy to see leftists chanting “Feds Go Home.” But will they keep it up if Trump leaves and Biden comes in? By Mike Baker and Hallie Golden New York Times SEATTLE — After weeks of escalating confrontations between protesters and federal authorities in Portland, Ore., a crowd […]
This is currently going on in my area, lol. By Sabrina Moreno Richmond Times-Dispatch The Richmond Police Department declared an unlawful assembly just after 11 p.m. Saturday night as hundreds of protesters gathered outside its downtown headquarters on West Grace Street. Shortly after that declaration, and after some […]
I came across this recent statement from a leftist activist. The comments below were made as part of a wider argument that opposition to PC is nothing more special pleading by reactionaries who merely want to be exempt from criticism, which is the standard leftist reply to criticisms […]
I found these comments on a Twitter thread. I reposted it here because it is a good example of the kinds of arguments used by defenders of PC, wokeness, cancel culture, etc. I could offer an extensive critique of this but it’s probably sufficient to say that this […]
Some interesting observations by David Brooks, a neocon mouthpiece who occasionally has something interesting to say (his “bourgeois bohemians” thesis, for example). “Sixty-two percent of Americans say they are afraid to share things they believe, according to a poll for the Cato Institute. A majority of staunch progressives […]
This is an interesting study. It appears that self-censorship is rooted more in fear of offending others in one’s immediate circle than in actual fear of institutional censorship (whether public or private). The apparent cause is the level of general political polarization that exists in the wider society. […]
By Keith Preston A book published a couple of years ago, which is reviewed by the Guardian below, outlines the structural methods the Democrats will eventually use to create a de facto one-party state as they continue to gain the upper hand through cultural, demographic, technological, generational, and […]
James Lindsay on the theology of the new theocracy. The two most important things that are happening in the developed world at the present time are the re-feudalization of class relations and the growth of totalitarian humanism as the self-legitimating ideology of the rising ruling class. Just as […]
By Ralph Blumenthal and Leslie Kean New York Times Despite Pentagon statements that it disbanded a once-covert program to investigate unidentified flying objects, the effort remains underway — renamed and tucked inside the Office of Naval Intelligence, where officials continue to study mystifying encounters between military pilots and […]
One thing that Trumpists and “conservative” cop-lovers should remember is that the ongoing expansion of the police state by each successive President will eventually be inherited by someone like future President Kamala Harris. By Gillian Flaccus Associated Press PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Federal law enforcement officers’ actions at […]
“Trump is in a lose/lose situation. If he backs down now, then he looks like the soft fool that he is. If this continues, then protests will escalate nationwide, and someone will get killed. At that point, this protest movement will turn into a full-blown insurgency. See the […]
“I do not like the pretensions of Government – the grounds on which it demands my obedience – to be pitched too high. I don’t like the medicine-man’s magical pretensions nor the Bourbon’s Divine Right. On just the same ground I dread government in the name of science. […]
We already have a massive depression now.
Interestingly, it’s about even between Trump and Biden.
Krystal and Saagar explain the significance of a Federal judge’s decision to unseal court documents related to a 2015 defamation case filed by one of Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged victims.
Advance the class struggle: Abolish zoning. Is anti-zoning the perfect wedge issue for anarchists? By J. Brian Charles Governing.Com Seattle’s housing market has been red-hot for almost a decade. Across the Northwest’s largest metropolitan area, real estate is not only expensive, upward of a million dollars for homes […]
The Republicans are going to have just as much trouble co-opting the class issues as the neoliberals and SJWs. There is no way the interests of the right-wing of the ruling class can be reconciled with those of the working class, much less the homeless and unemployed, on […]
Class struggle is on the way. A set of dangers that we will face in the future will be efforts by left-wing and right-wing authoritarians to exploit the class issues as a means of gaining state power. We already see this happening across the political spectrum, with sectors […]
ABC News Over 15.5 million people across the globe have been diagnosed with COVID-19, the disease caused by the new respiratory virus, according to data compiled by the Center for Systems Science and Engineering at Johns Hopkins University. The actual numbers are believed to be much higher due […]
About all you need to know about “wokeness” in 1 minute and 44 seconds. While SJWism can be compared to a religious cult in many ways, it is also similar to the leftist anticlerical movements in the past that ended up creating cults of anti-religion. The “Cult of […]
This is an interesting discussion between two people that were once SJW-types. One of them worked in the entertainment industry, and the other in organizational development/human resources (two of the “ideas industries” where the SJW ideology is most prevalent). Their comparison of SJWism with religious extremism/cultism is apt. […]
This is the kind of discussion that needs to happen more often. These two guys represent the best of the Left and Right.
When Trump was elected, I knew it was going to be the return of Nixon, and here it is. Another irony is that we now have liberal Democrats defending local sovereignty against the overreach of the feds. Generally speaking, liberals and leftists perform much better when a Repugnican […]
By John McWhorter The Atlantic I must admit that I had not gotten around to actually reading Robin DiAngelo’s White Fragility until recently. But it was time to jump in. DiAngelo is an education professor and—most prominently today—a diversity consultant who argues that whites in America must face […]
By Allyson Waller New York Times Acting on an anonymous tip, the authorities in Minneapolis this week discovered the body of a man inside a building that was burned down amid protests over the death of George Floyd, the police said. The body was found Monday as the […]
Conflicts between federal, state, and local officials are always welcome. Fragment, fragment, fragment… By Mike Baker New York Times PORTLAND, Ore. — The mayor of Portland, Ted Wheeler, was left coughing and wincing in the middle of his own city on Wednesday night after federal officers deployed tear […]
“Law enforcement” agencies really do need to rethink their opposition to IQ tests. By Felipe Nystrom I had to sit on this for a couple of days because of how pissed off I was but here’s my rant. I am and always will be a Costarrican who happens […]
That goes without saying. by Susan Anglada Bartley and Pedro Anglada Cordero Medium On the 23rd of July, we became eyewitnesses to infiltration into the Portland Black Lives Matter movement.

It’s rather ironic to see conservatives and liberals both doing an about-face on unions. By Peter Suderman Reason In 2018, as a gunman murdered 17 students at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, Sgt. Brian Miller, a sheriff’s deputy with the Broward County Sheriff’s Office, hid […]
One thing conservatives and libertarians should appreciate about Trump is that he has definitely motivated liberal and left opinion to adopt a more favorable view of states’ right and local sovereignty, lol. By Lauren Aratani The Guardian Fifteen mayors of major US cities have sent a letter to […]
From a fourth-generation warfare perspective, this is an important tactical victory. By Chris McGreal The Guardian Night upon night, the chant goes up in front of Portland’s federal courthouse: “Whose streets?” The answer depends on the hour of the day. After Donald Trump sent federal agents to take […]
By Gabriella Borter Reuters The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has deployed more than 100 federal agents to Portland, Oregon, on a mission named “Operation Diligent Valor” to patrol government buildings as anti-racism protests flared this month, court documents show. The documents, filed on Tuesday, helped shed light […]
By Manny Fernandez and J. David Goodman New York Times DALLAS — Texas Republicans have long sparred with one another, with feisty internal disputes in recent years over gun rights, bathroom bills and other culture-war issues. But since the spring, as the coronavirus began to take hold across […]
It really is interesting how the Democratic Party pulled back their in-house candidates at the last moment (except for Lizzie the Scamster who they kept in as a spoiler) in order ensure Biden would move ahead of Sanders.
