Deranged Democrat-Antifa-Media Party Terrorist Attempts to Blow Up Mass Where Supreme Court Justices Were Gathered

Trump's been racking up wins at the Supreme Court recently.

President Donald Trump has an almost flawless record on the Supreme Court's emergency docket this year, a streak that has delivered crucial moments of relief to the government as it fights hundreds of lawsuits challenging the president's agenda.

The Supreme Court has ruled in Trump's favor on government cuts, nationwide injunctions, immigration policies and more, leading the White House to tout what it recently counted as 21 victories before the high court.

Those victories are, however, temporary. The upcoming term, which begins Monday, will allow the justices to begin weighing the full merits of some of these court disputes and ultimately cement or undo key parts of the Trump agenda.

Jonathan Adler, a William & Mary Law School professor, attributed the interim wins to the Supreme Court's desire to narrow the judicial branch's role in policymaking.

Speaking during a Federalist Society panel this week, Adler said the high court's thinking might be that "lower courts are doing too much. We're going to scale that back because it's not our place, and it's for the executive branch and the legislative branch to figure that out."

The Trump administration has only challenged about one-fifth of the adverse rulings it has received from the lower courts. Adler said Solicitor General John Sauer, who represents the government, is strategically selecting which cases to bring to the high court.

"If you go through them, setting Humphrey's Executor stuff slightly to the side, what they all have in common is that there's a kind of clear argument that ... district courts were a little too aggressive here," Adler said.

The Humprey's Executor cases are about whether bureaucrats have some property interest in employment by the government so that the president cannot fire them. Which seems plainly unconstitutional, as the Constitution says "The Executive Power shall be invested in a President." All of the executive power. Is invested in a president. And thus the president has plenary power over the Executive.

Supposed "Good Government" liberals attempted to limit the president's control over the executive branch on the absurd theory that left-wing partisan bureaucrats are "non-partisan," and hence we should give bureaucrats unconstitutional power and unconstitutionally strip power from the president. Of course, these left-wing bureaucrats are not only hyper-partisan actors but are unelected and unaccountable -- unlike the president -- and, thanks to "good government reforms," can't even be made accountable through firing or discipline.

So that's the situation.

And so a Democrat-Antifa-Media aligned terrorist tried to blow up the traditional "Red Mass" before the start of the Supreme Court term, where justices (presumably right-leaning) would be in attendance.

ATTACK AVOIDED AT CATHEDRAL? DC police say they found 200 devices and a smell of acetone emitting from some of the vials, in a tent a New Jersey man allegedly set up on the steps of St. Matthew's Cathedral just hours before the annual Red Mass. Louis Geri, 41, has been arrested. He allegedly said the devices were going to be used as "grenades and explosives". The 'Red Mass' is before the start of the Supreme Court's term and brings together justices, judges, attorneys & government officials.

CNN stresses that no Justices were actually present, hoping to downplay the left's latest terror attack:

(CNN) -- Police arrested and charged a man with possession of explosives Sunday outside a Washington, DC, church where an annual Mass to mark the start of the Supreme Court term was set to take place hours later.

The so-called Red Mass is held each year to "invoke God's blessings on those responsible for the administration of justice," according to St. Matthew's Cathedral. A spokesperson for the Supreme Court told CNN that no justices were in attendance on Sunday, though members of the high court have previously gone to the mass. The Supreme Court's new term begins on Monday.

BREAKING: Shocking arrest outside DC's St. Matthew's Cathedral this morning--NJ man Louis Geri, 41, nabbed with a Molotov cocktail, fireworks, and vials of flammable liquid in a tent on the church steps, just before the 73rd Red Mass kicked off for SCOTUS justices and top officials.

Joint FBI-ATF task force on scene; no ongoing threat, but was he plotting disruption? Stay safe, DC.

Writings found on the Democrat-Antifa Terrorist showed he was a card-carrying member of the atheist terrorist left.

A man was arrested early Sunday morning outside St. Matthew's Cathedral in NW Washington, D.C. after officers say they found a cache of over 200 homemade explosive devices in a tent on the church's front steps, along with writings opposed to the Catholic Church, the Jewish faith, the Supreme Court, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Court documents released today indicated that Metropolitan Police Department officers encountered the man, later identified by police as Louis Geri of New Jersey, while clearing the block ahead of the annual Red Mass service, which draws members of the legal community and was expected to be attended by some justices of the Supreme Court, officials said.

Early on Sunday morning, officers told him Geri he would have to move a tent and his belongings, but he refused and warned, "You might want to stay back and call the federales. I have explosives/bombs," according to police accounts.
"...several of your people are gonna to die from one of these"

Police said a sergeant from the bomb squad spoke with Geri and told him he needed to leave because of the Red Mass. Geri acknowledged the event and, officers say, began making threats and describing the devices. "Do you want me to throw one out, I'll test one out in the street? I have a hundred plus of them. If you just step back, I'll throw one in the street, no one will get hurt, there will be a hole in the street...if you just step back, I'll take out that tree," he told officers, according to the police statement.

When told he would be removed, Geri said, "...several of your people are gonna to die from one of these," police said.

Officers reported that Geri was holding a butane lighter and a small white-capped object, and that he had written documents in his tent titled "Written Negotiations for the Avoidance of Destruction of Property via Detonation of Explosives." He later confirmed that he had written the documents and that he had an "explosive background," police said. At one point, investigators said, Geri positioned his thumb over the lighter and threatened to ignite a device; officers retreated and sought to regroup.

He also had a house full of bombs.

The individual arrested for a bomb threat at a Washington, DC, church was carrying an arsenal of explosive devices on his person, according to police.

The Washington Post reported on Tuesday that Louis Geri, who was apprehended outside of St. Matthew's Cathedral before an event, had over 200 handmade bombs in his home, including bottle rockets and Molotov cocktails.

I know bottle rockets aren't a big deal but you can take the gunpowder from each and combine them to make a lethal bomb.

When he was arrested, police found a Molotov cocktail in his possession.

A man had more than 200 handmade destructive devices -- including bottle rockets and molotov cocktails -- in a tent on the steps of a D.C. cathedral where Supreme Court justices were expected to attend Mass on Sunday, court records show. During his arrest, Louis Geri threatened to ignite explosives and handed authorities pages of his notebook that, according to court records, expressed animosity toward the Catholic Church, Supreme Court justices, members of the Jewish faith and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

D.C. police first approached Geri inside a green tent posted on the top of the stairs leading to St. Matthew's Cathedral as they cleared the block for Red Mass -- an annual religious service marking the start of a new Supreme Court term and honoring the judiciary.

But records filed in D.C. Superior Court on Monday show that when officers asked Geri to leave, he told them, "You might want to stay back and call the federales, I have explosives." An attorney for Geri did not immediately respond to a request for comment Monday.

While the left-wing Terrorist Media buries this story, they eagerly promoted the, get this, left-wing H O A X story about a left-wing judge having her house burned down.

In fact, there was no arson. It was a spontaneous accidental fire.

After Years of Captivity by Big Pharma, the FDA Will Finally Test Whether Administering Multiple "Vaccines" At Once Is Actually Safe

The FDA just didn't have the resources to do tests to insure the safety of children. The government was too busy spending millions to determine if drag queens can reduce their stress levels through flamenco dancing lessons. A much much important question, I'm sure you agree.

This study seems to about adults getting multiple respiratory virus vaccines at once, but the study will presumably yield clues about whether injecting kids with 40-70 vaccines is dangerous.

Trump and his FDA will finally spend money and time to ask the minor question: Are we literally harming our children just to pad Big Pharma's profits?

Citing a "new evidenced based philosophy," the FDA's Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) is preparing to take a hard line against the common practice of administering certain respiratory virus vaccines at the same time.

The leadership at CBER--which oversees vaccines and other biologic products like cell and gene therapies at the FDA--will now require randomized, controlled trials in people eligible for multiple vaccines before drugmakers can promote coadministration of the shots or "some sequence of the vaccines," CBER Director Vinay Prasad, M.D., wrote in a memo posted on the FDA's website.

...

Apparently reading the writing on the wall, Pfizer last month sent a letter to healthcare providers warning that certain lots of its 2025-26 COVID vaccine "contain unapproved prescribing information inside the cartons."

That language related to "concomitant administration of Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine, bivalent with a respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccine or with an RSV vaccine and an influenza vaccine in individuals 65 years of age and older," according to the letter, which the FDA has posted on its Comirnaty information page.

Pfizer did not provide a statement in response to Prasad's communications, though a company spokesperson directed Fierce toward its physician letter on the FDA's website.

In the memo, CBER's Prasad took issue with the fact that past company claims about concomitant vaccine administration were "made on the basis of small randomized studies showing non-inferior antibody titers." But the CBER is "unsure" whether those titers correspond to clinical protection and holds concerns that "such small trials are inherently incapable of adequately documenting safety signals," according to Prasad.

"The studies are simply too small to identify potential increases in adverse events, which Americans may wish to know," he wrote.

The Biden administration supported vaccine coadministration as a means to increase immunization rates, though Prasad has frequently criticized the practice, The Washington Post reported this week.

Who knows -- NASA might soon be spending money on actual space research instead of studying whether trannys experience any particular ill-effects in zero G.

Phone Number Traced to Fired Leftwing Prosecutor Sent Messages Stating That He Wanted Trump to "Just Die" and That, Speaking of the Lawyer Trump Appointed to Oversee the James Comey Investigation, He Wanted to "Strangle That Bitch"

I don't know how Project Veritas determined this was his phone number. I think it might be a burner phone.

Michael Ben'Ary was a federal prosecutor for the Eastern District of Virginia (EDVA).

Trump fired him last week. Trump believes he is one of James Comey's operators. "Fusion Ken Dilanian," the court stenographer of the Deep State Conspiracy, says his "sources" vouch for Ben'Ary and claim he's yet another Straight Shooter Ham-and-Egger which, to anyone sane, is just proof that Dilanian's network of Deep State leakers are protecting one of their own.

Ken Dilanian
@DilanianMSNBC

New: The DoJ fired the top national security prosecutor in the Eastern District of Virginia a few hours after MAGA activist Julie Kelly denounced him on X because he has been detailed to work for the deputy attorney general in the last administration.

Michael Ben'Ary was a DoJ lifer who worked his way up the career ranks. He was the lead prosecutor in a case the Trump administration has boasted about, against an accused terrorist alleged to have been involved in the 2021 suicide bombing in Afghanistan that killed 13 U.S. service members.

Julie Kelly

Detailed, you say. Not work for Lisa Monaco--act as one of her top advisors. The Lisa Monaco who helped manufacture the Russiagate hoax, prosecute 1,600 Americans who protested Joe Biden on Jan 6 including unlawfully use 1512c2, and try to throw President Trump in jail.

For once, get your story straight.

Politico portrayed him as a straight-shooting incorruptible civil servant hero who only wants to Save Our Precious Democracy and Preserve The Integrity and Independence of the Scrupulously Non-Partisan DOJ.

The truth? If this phone number is his, and Project Veritas thinks it is, he's a deranged burrowed-in Deep State saboteur who dreams of strangling a female prosecutor appointed by Trump and wishes death on Trump.

BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: Number Linked to Newly Fired U.S. Prosecutor Michael Ben'Ary Dreams President Trump and Eastern District of Virginia Attorney Lindsay Halligan Will Die

"I would like to strangle that b*itch myself. Every night I dream that this nightmare will end ... or that she or @RealDonaldTrump would simply die."

In a leaked text from October 6th, a number linked to Ben'Ary, who was terminated last week, urges fellow @EDVAnews prosecutor Russell Carlberg - previously exposed by Veritas for threatening whistleblowers - to "keep monitoring" cases to prevent interference from President Trump's new appointee, Lindsay Halligan, who oversees the Comey case.

S/he dramatically flounced by taping shis 69 Theses to the door.

Harvard-Harris Schmoll: Democrats Are Losing the Shutdown, 65% Want Democrats to Re-Open Government

The Democrats are the party of Chickens who they just can't quit f***ing.

#BREAKING: A new Harvard-Harris poll found 65% of Americans want Democrats to end the shutdown by accepting the continuing resolution keeping current spending levels (passed by Republicans)

Democrats' shutdown crusade is deeply out of touch with voters

By 62% to 38%, the public expects the Democrats to lose the shutdown stunt.

You can't yell at me for posting this schmoll because Trump is trumpeting it.

Most Americans want Democrats to end their disastrous government shutdown, according to a new Harvard CAPS/Harris poll.

It comes as service members and federal employees are set to miss their next paycheck, critical food assistance for low-income women and children is in dire jeopardy, states are staring down an economic catastrophe, and layoffs could be imminent -- all because of Democrats' sick push to give illegal aliens free health care.

Here are the key results:

70% oppose the government shutdown.

65% say Democrats should accept Republicans' clean, nonpartisan continuing resolution.

62% say Republicans "will win the government shutdown."

55% say Democrats are "just trying to please their base."

On Israel: 74% oppose the Tucker-Candace-Democrat-Antifa pro-Hamas position.

The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition

Put those blinders on! Mustn't see the explosive issue that threatens the survival of the French state! You know, the French state that has cradle-to-grave welfare, and 10% of their population that games that system? Oh, they also are responsible for a huge amount of crime, and no-go zones, and vicious anti-Semitic violence, not to mention a savage fixation on a revolutionary ideology that will destroy French culture and bring down the Fifth Republic!

You know...the Amish!

France's government collapses again: What could happen next?

None of the options now look appealing for Macron, from his perspective at least. And for France, the road ahead promises more of the political uncertainty that is eroding investor confidence in the European Union’s second-largest economy and is frustrating efforts to rein in France’s damaging state deficit and debts.

Domestic turmoil also risks diverting Macron’s focus from pressing international issues — wars in Gaza and Ukraine, security threats from Russia, and the muscular use of American power by U.S. President Donald Trump, to name just a few.

The globalist fixation on Ukraine and Gaza, dutifully parroted by a compliant and curiously incurious media, allows people like Macron to ignore the existential issues plaguing France. Muslim immigration. Muslim crime. Muslim political power pushing France toward an Islamic theocracy.

Gaza is a wonderful tool to placate the restive Muslims by showing them France's Jew-hating bona fides...and feeding the crocodile for a bit longer. And Ukraine diverts attention, in spite of the ridiculousness of any sort of Russian threat to France. Kiev to Paris is more than 1,200 miles. Are Russian armored columns going to rampage across central Europe and capture Paris?

France's political structure is flawed, and it has been in chaos for a very long time. de Gaulle was able to hold it together, and he was still reviled by huge numbers of Frenchmen. The president has a huge amount of power, which is why Macron can hold on in spite of an approval rating under 20%. He's not going anywhere until the next national election in 2027, but don't think anything earthshaking will come then...they have already disqualified Marine Le Pen!

France has a massive welfare state that is crumbling in large part because of immigration. It has a sclerotic and oppressive regulatory state that stifles innovation and entrepreneurial spirit. It has a voting population that is hell-bent on protecting its pensions and retirement, at the expense of everything around them.

And Macron's response to all of this has been to pander to the globalists and the Islamists in his midst, all in service of his fanatical desire to retain power.

Sound familiar? He is a more competent and less senile Joe Biden! Or Hillary Clinton!

France will not recover unless the people of France reject the status quo and embrace change the way America, Italy, Japan, and a few other countries have. And that will probably not happen!

The Morning Report — 10/7/25

Good morning kids. Two years ago today, The evil hordes of Islam launched a savage and unprovoked attack on the State of Israel from its stronghold in Gaza, resulting in the worst mass slaughter and butchery of innocent Jewish men women and children not seen since the Shoah (or Holocaust) 80 years earlier in Europe at that hands of the Germans and their collaborators (which not coincidentally included Yugoslavian and North African Muslims). And also not coincidentally today is also the anniversary of the Yom Kippur War, where Arab Muslim nation states led by Egypt and Syria launched a massive surprise attack in a bid to once and for all destroy the State of Israel, after failing to do so in1948, 1956 and 1967.

Israel will not and cannot be defeated. Indeed it must not be defeated because just like this blessed United States of America, it is one of the beacons of civilization and true human progress and advancement. If God-forbid Israel, and America cease to exist then it will be because it would have been because the forces of darkness and evil subverted what is good and right and true from within.

Daniel Greenfield's essay commemorating the nightmare of 10/7 which sadly continues to this day with Israeli hostages (if they're still even alive) at the mercy of their beastly tormenters two years on with very little sign of being liberated or even surviving for much longer. As CBD and I have discussed both on the podcast and in our editorials, this notion of some sort of negotiated settlement with Hamas let alone the sheer madness of a "Palestinian" state is just that. Sheer madness. As I have stated, even if President Trump understands the true nature of Islam, He dare not speak the unspeakable truth about it lest he essentially commit political suicide.

Per Daniel Greenfield:

There is no ‘Palestinian’ cause, only a Jihadist cause that hides behind it, the way that it hides behind so many other facades, civil rights, social justice, political change, that are just masks. Why do the Jihadist groups want Jerusalem so badly? For the same reason Islam wanted Constantinople, captured Athens and turned the Parthenon into a mosque and then wrecked it during the Great Turkish War, and why ISIS has repeatedly threatened to conquer Rome.

. . ."Evil fears our bullets less than it fears our faith. It does everything possible to convince us that evil is good and we are evil. Its greatest victory is when we come to believe it. As too many do. . . .They don’t kill us, torture us and terrorize us because they believe they’re right, but because they fear they are wrong.”

A Palestinian state is merely a means to an end. Once Islam is dominant in every nation on the planet, then that nation will cease to exist. It's borders and national identity will be gone, subsumed under one global caliphate for all time. That has been its goal for the past 1500 years. All unbelievers will either be killed or converted. That is once all the Jews are annihilated.

First, God bless the memory of all who were so brutally tortured and slaughtered beginning on that horrible day and send comfort to all the surivors and families of those who suffered.

Next, when you look at that last paragraph in the pull quote, the parallels between what we as Americans are experiencing at the hands of the Democrat/Progressive/Socialist Left are truly striking.

After yesterday's revelations about this Jay Jones cancer running for Virginia AG, it is amazing if not sadly unsurprising that not one Democrat has come out and called for FEAR-CHUCKER Jones to withdraw from the race. Jeez, even that beady-eyed inbred Scarborough and his concubine bimbo wife Mitzi Baryshnikov said he was toxic and had to go.

Besides his open calls for assassinating his opponents, there was this revelation:

Republican Virginia Delegate Carrie Coyner alleged in an interview that Democratic Virginia Attorney General nominee Jay Jones made a violent remark about police officers during a 2020 phone call.
During an interview Monday, Coyner alleged Jones said in a 2020 conversation that if a few police officers died, it might prevent killings of other people, according to a Virginia Scope report. Jones denied making such a comment, the outlet reported.

Just as there can be no two-state solution vis a vis Israel and that fictional "Palestine" America as a house divided against itself cannot stand. It's either us American-Americans or the anti-American DemoKKKrat Left.

You're either with us or with the terrorists. Am Yisrael Chai and God Bless America!!!!!

Have a good day!

And lastly, a quick shout-out and thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.

Trump Ignores Lawless Ruling of Lowly District Court Judge and Sends Troops to Portland

It's time to start impeaching these insurrectionary "judges."

President Trump on Sunday sent 300 California National Guard troops to Portland, Oregon, defying a federal court order to block the move. The deployment comes after months of Antifa-led chaos outside an ICE facility and what the White House called a total failure of local leaders to restore order.

Key Details:

The deployment came just one day after U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut blocked Trump's plan to federalize the Oregon National Guard, ruling it unconstitutional and in violation of federal law restricting military involvement in domestic law enforcement.

Despite the ruling, Trump ordered Secretary of War Pete Hegseth to mobilize California troops, saying he has "lawful authority" to defend federal officers and facilities under attack.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom condemned the move as "un-American" and vowed to sue. The White House defended the decision, pointing to ongoing "violent riots and attacks on law enforcement," while ICE officials reported nightly assaults by Antifa mobs outside the Portland detention center.

Diving Deeper:

President Donald Trump took decisive action Sunday, deploying 300 California National Guard troops to Portland, Oregon, despite a federal court order attempting to block him. The move followed months of violent unrest and nightly assaults on federal immigration officers that state and local authorities repeatedly failed to stop.

Trump's order came after U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut ruled Saturday that deploying troops would "violate the Constitution and federal law barring military involvement in domestic law enforcement." Her ruling claimed that protests near the ICE processing facility in south Portland were "small and uneventful."

Mostly peaceful small and uneventful attacks on federal officials.

That assessment directly contradicted reports from the Department of Homeland Security detailing repeated attacks, vandalism, and harassment of ICE personnel by Antifa-linked agitators.

In defiance of the ruling, Trump directed Secretary of War Pete Hegseth to deploy "all necessary forces" to protect federal assets. White House officials said the president acted under his constitutional authority to ensure national security and uphold federal law. "President Trump exercised his lawful authority to protect federal assets and personnel in Portland following violent riots and attacks on law enforcement," a White House spokeswoman told The New York Post. "President Trump will not turn a blind eye to the lawlessness plaguing American cities."

Good precedent. Just ignore them.

Japan Elects a "Female Trump" as Prime Minister

Many are calling her "Japan's Trump."

The leftwing propaganda media calls her "Japan's first female PM," and sometimes "hard right."

But they don't want to admit another Trumpian official has been elected and that the progressive globalist/transgender/Islamic conquest movement collapsing.

And on that: She's not PM yet. She has been elected leader of the ruling conservative power. Ergo, she should quickly be confirmed as PM, but she hasn't been confirmed yet.

President Trump welcomed the news Monday that Japan is poised to have its first female prime minister, calling it "incredible for the people of Japan."

"Japan has just elected its first female Prime Minister, a highly respected person of great wisdom and strength. This is tremendous news for the incredible people of Japan. Congratulations to all!" Trump posted on Truth Social.

Sanae Takaichi, a conservative lawmaker, won a key leadership vote Saturday, which put her on track to become Japan's prime minister. She will be the first woman to hold the role in the country's history.

The Japanese stock market gained more than forty f***ing million Deutschmarks.

Japan stocks hit record after ruling party names pro-business leader

Japanese stocks have hit a record high after the country's ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) named Sanae Takaichi as its new leader, positioning the pro-business politician to be Japan's next prime minister.

The benchmark Nikkei 225 index closed 4.75% higher on Monday, ending the day above 47,000 for the first time.

Takaichi, who has held senior government roles including minister for economic security and internal affairs, is known for her support of higher government spending and lower borrowing costs.

The Japanese economy continues its long period of weakness. She's hoping to stimulate it back to life.

She is also a long-time admirer of former UK prime minister Margaret Thatcher and her free market approach to economics.

Investors welcomed the announcement of her victory in the LDP leadership race, with shares rising in real estate, technology and heavy industry companies.

While the Japanese stocks rose, the yen hit a record low against the euro and dropped by 1.7% against the US dollar.

Monday's market response was largely a "knee-jerk reaction" to the potential appointment of Takaichi as prime minister, Japan economist Jesper Koll told the BBC.

How Close Are We to a Shooting War?

The left is already shooting. But there is no war until the other side starts shooting back.

Guy Benson just lets his liberal friends know that their support of Manson Family Helter Skelter terrorism is noted:

Guy Benson
@guypbenson

I'd like to ask my non-conservative followers to pay attention here for a moment. I don't need a response or a rebuttal or a 'whatabout.' Just read on and consider what I'm saying. Please.

We are only a few weeks removed from a leading conservative figure being shot in the throat and killed by a leftist, for and during his speech, at a public speaking event. Stunning, jarring numbers of leftist Americans justified or celebrated this assassination, aligning with multiple public polls showing that a sizable minority of leftists in this country think political violence can be acceptable.

Today -- just today -- many conservatives are thinking about:

(1) a major leftist statewide candidate being exposed for sending texts to a political opponent (R) explicitly hoping for the death of another conservative political opponent...along with the deaths of that opponents' young children. He WROTE DOWN that the pain of those deaths might promote his own agenda, which would be worth it, in his estimation. This candidate is now condemning his current conservative opponent for noticing this information.

And also (2) a development in the case of a leftist would-be assassin of a conservative Supreme Court Justice, who traveled across the country, heavily armed, with the stated intent of murdering up to three right-leaning Justices because he was angry about their abortion jurisprudence. The leftist judge in the case rejected prosecutors' request for a multi-decade sentence, giving the defense team the very lenient sentence they'd sought. The leftist judge, in her reasoning, cited the criminal's trans identity as a factor & expressed happiness that the assassination plot and its aftermath helped with the criminal's family therapy around the trans issue.

And also (3) yet another violent leftist attack -- this time an apparent ambush -- against federal immigration officers. This did not take place in Dallas, where a leftist sniper very recently went on a deadly spree while trying to murder as many ICE officers as possible. This one happened in Illinois, where the leftist governor just called these officers "jack booted thugs." Violent attacks on these federal agents (thugs, fascists, gestapo, per various leading leftist politicians) are up approximately *one thousand percent,* per DHS.

And also (4) a prominent university being pressured into reversing its attempt to shut down a conservative event commemorating the second anniversary of the Oct 7 terrorist massacre of Jews -- because, the school said, they were worried about the security situation around the event. They were referring, of course, to the violent Islamist-Leftist coalition pro-Hamas mob, which has engaged in harassment, threats, violence and murder ever since that mass slaughter.

AND YET, we see many of our leftist friends tweeting and posting about how *their opponents* are the "dangerous" and "authoritarian" "fascists."

I ask you to try to contemplate, even for a quiet moment or two, how this might strike many of us.

That's all for now. Thank you.

VDH:

In blue cities across America--Portland, Oregon, especially--often violent protesters now seek to surround ICE facilities to stop federal officers from fulfilling their assigned and legal duties of arresting illegal aliens.

...

Left-wing protesters are swarming ICE headquarters in Portland to violently oppose all deportations, even those of known criminals and those who have already exhausted efforts to remain here illegally.

Why? The Democratic Party apparat knows that the public wants both secure borders and deportations of illegal aliens. Indeed, in part, it lost an election by its open-borders advocacy.

But Democrat officials feel that if street thugs like Antifa can surround and besiege ICE facilities in Portland, Oregon, then deportations will stop. Then, a de facto amnesty will follow for millions who entered the U.S. illegally--and will soon become Democratic constituents.

As a result, they do not fully enforce the law when thugs attack federal law enforcement. Antifa and its spin-off groups favor the night, when they try to block all entries and exits of ICE vehicles and personnel, and can commit their violence with greater anonymity.

The masked rioters assault anyone in their way. They count on exemption from punishment for committing violence against federal officers through the goodwill or indifference of kindred local and state officials who hate the Trump administration more than they respect the law. An Orwellian scenario follows in which federal officers are attacked by Antifa, which in turn counts on the non-intervention of local police.

Summed up: the city of Portland's armed officers are in a de facto proxy war with their federal counterparts--in our version of something out of 1860, on the eve of a real civil war.

Leftists are calling for secession/insurrection.

From a column in the U.K. Guardian,

Blue states should come together to declare an emergency. Here's how.

Ok. I'm all ears,

States opposed to Trump can create a compact -- a new prototype for American government -- even if it's perceived as political theater.

I'm no student of history, but I'm pretty certain that was tried right after the Ft. Sumter incident. The author refers to 1776, but his idea is straight out of 1861.

What kind of "compact"?

Like the founders, we should create a limited, invitation-only body -- an embryonic constitutional convention -- that the anti-Trump blue states exclusively set up for themselves, limit to themselves, and control.

Limited? Invitation only? Exclusively? May I remind readers that all of the Confederate states were blue states at the. time of their confederation.

Powerline said the left is trying to manufacture a "Kent State moment," where they provoke cops into shooting their Antifa street stormtroopers and the public, in their imaginings, sides with the Antifa terrorists and their Democrat Party funders/protectors.

They think a "Fort Sumter Moment" is more likely.

Chicago Antifa Terrorists Box In an ICE Vehicle and More Antifa Ram Another ICE Van;
CHICAGO POLICE ORDERED TO FLEE THE AREA AND RENDER NO ASSISTANCE TO FELLOW LEOs UNDER ATTACK

This is insurrection.

The Democrat-Antifa-Media Cult is making it clear that yes, Antifa are their street paramilitaries and operate under color of law at the direction of Democrat politicians.

Shocking video captured the moment an unhinged driver rammed into an Immigration and Customs Enforcement vehicle in Chicago amid a spate of attacks on federal agents.

The chaotic scene unfolded when the black SUV was caught on camera suddenly plowing into the back of the ICE truck in the middle of heavy traffic on Saturday, the Department of Homeland Security said.

The driver then chased the ICE vehicle before repeatedly slamming into its bumper in front of shocked bystanders.

Scores of federal agents could be seen drawing their guns in a bid to prevent the driver from fleeing.

It wasn't immediately clear if the driver was apprehended.

The assault came soon after Border Patrol agents shot a gun-toting woman elsewhere in the city when an angry mob of anti-ICE protesters ambushed federal agents and boxed them in with 10 vehicles.

The woman, Marimar Martinez, as well as another driver, Anthony Ian Santos Ruiz, were both arrested and branded "domestic terrorists."

"The scene became increasingly violent as more domestic terrorists gathered and began throwing smoke, gas, rocks, and bottles at DHS law enforcement," DHS said.

Several Border Patrol agents were injured as the violent scenes unfolded, according to authorities.

Chicago Police were ordered to allow the terrorists to attack ICE and Border Patrol personnel.

Two longtime, ranking Chicago police sources sharply rejected the department's assertion that officers responded to calls for help from ICE agents who were rammed and surrounded by protesters on Saturday, telling Fox News the official statement is, in their words, "COVER THEIR A-- BULLS--T!!"

Their comments come as Fox News obtained an internal dispatch revealing that Chicago police officers were ordered by their chief of patrol not to respond after Border Patrol agents called for help, saying they were boxed in and surrounded following a ramming incident outside the city, according to multiple federal and Chicago law enforcement sources.

Fox News reviewed the computer-aided dispatch message sent to Chicago police officers by their chief of patrol. The message instructed officers not to respond to a Saturday morning ramming on the southwest side of the city in which an armed woman was shot and agents were boxed in and surrounded.

"PLEASE CHIEF OF PATROL NO UNITS WILL RESPOND TO THIS AS RELATED FROM 04-Oc5-2025/12:34:44...CALLER IS 1 OF APPROX 30 ARMED PATROL AGENTS (ICE) WHO ARE BEING SURROUNDED BY A LARGE CROWD OF PEOPLE REQUESTING CPD," the dispatch message read.

On Saturday morning, federal agents were rammed and trapped by 10 vehicles, where anti-ICE crowds had gathered for days. Nearly a dozen people were arrested.
In a statement Sunday, the Chicago Police Department disputed claims that officers failed to respond, saying they were on scene to manage safety and document the incident.

...

But two senior Chicago police sources told Fox News the department's statement was false -- and that internal communications tell a very different story.

One ranking source told Fox News that the Chicago Police Department's statement is "not true," pointing to "legit" dispatch audio.

In the NJ Governor Race, Republicans Are Turning In Mail-In Ballots at a Faster Clip Than Democrats

And of course Democrats have long enjoyed a big advantage in the early vote, with Republicans forced to make up the deficit on the actual (Constitution-prescribed) Election Day.

I should clarify that Republicans are turning in ballots at a higher rate, not necessarily in terms of absolute numbers. There are more Democrats in NJ than Republicans so they are probably turning in more actual ballots.

New Jersey Republicans are returning their mail-in ballots at a higher clip than Democrats in an early positive sign for GOP gubernatorial hopeful Jack Ciattarelli, as polls show a tightening race between him and Rep. Mikie Sherrill in the high-stakes race.

Garden State Republicans have so far notched an 18.61% return rate for their mail-in ballots, outpacing the Democrats' 16.55%, according to data compiled and analyzed by DecisionDeskHQ's director of political science, Michael Pruser.

GOP pollster Adam Geller, who has worked with the Ciattarelli campaign, told The Post that Republicans have historically been less inclined to vote by mail, meaning this lead in the rate of early ballot returns could be a hopeful sign.

"Clearly, it's encouraging for the Republicans right now," Geller said. "You could argue that, in addition to coming around to vote by mail, it could be a measurement of the enthusiasm for the candidate."

Brent Buchanan, the president and CEO of Cygnal polling firm, said that the early mail-in data is interesting given President Trump's growing popularity in the Garden State.

"Republicans have gotten serious about participating in early voting," Buchanan told The Post.

"Pair that with the strong shift statewide toward Trump, and you have a growing recipe for Republican wins up and down the ticket."

Kamala Harris only won New Jersey by a 6% margin in the 2024 presidential election, marking the narrowest Democratic margin in the state since 1992, according to the New Jersey Globe.

...

An internal poll conducted by Geller showed Ciattarelli with a threadbare lead, and an Emerson College Polling survey pegged Sherrill and Ciattarelli as being neck and neck.

Other polls have shown that the race is getting tighter, something that has spooked national Democrats.

Sherrill has a 3.3 percentage point advantage over her conservative counterpart, according to the latest RealClearPolitics aggregate of polling. Exactly one month ago, she had an 8.3 point lead.

For context, the RCP aggregate underestimated Ciattarelli's support by some 5 points in the 2021 New Jersey gubernatorial race. Ciattarelli lost to incumbent Gov. Phil Murphy (D) by about 3 points.

The early mail-in vote means that Democrats can't pull a Torricelli Option any longer. Votes have already been cast. I don't doubt that the ultra-corrupt far-left NJ Supreme Court would try to justify cancelling the votes already cast and forcing people to vote again with a new Democrat candidate in the race, but I think the Supreme Court might actually step in and tell them they can't cancel votes already cast.

Democrats are worried:

Top Democrats are increasingly alarmed the party could lose the governor's race in traditionally blue New Jersey next month because of a series of stumbles by the Democratic nominee, U.S. Rep. Mikie Sherrill.

Why it matters: Both parties are investing millions in the race between Sherrill, a former Navy pilot, and Republican Jack Ciattarelli, an ex-state lawmaker -- and it's getting national attention as a preview of the 2026 midterms.

The prospect of a close election or even a loss in the Garden State has set off handwringing among Democrats.

"So much for the Dem resistance if we are struggling to even win a N.J. governorship while Trump has taken a wrecking ball to the government and Constitution," said Democratic strategist Irene Lin, who isn't working on the race.

"Sherrill has spent a fortune on polling and has no message beyond she flies helicopters and Ciattarelli loves Trump," Lin said. "How have we not learned ... that tired anti-Trump attacks aren't enough?"

Behind the scenes: Some Democrats privately say Sherrill is a better candidate on paper than in reality. They argue she's been too scripted, hasn't focused enough on high prices, and has relied too much on staff from D.C. rather than New Jersey-based operatives.

They're also concerned Ciattarelli is hustling to make inroads in Black communities that usually vote overwhelmingly for Democrats.

Sherrill initially had trouble naming "one piece" of legislation she would pass in response to a question from a CBS New York reporter, which led to Ciattarelli blasting her in an ad.

In an interview with influential radio host Charlamagne tha God in May, Sherrill -- who's in her fourth term in the House -- struggled to answer questions about her family's increased wealth in recent years.

When asked whether she made $7 million through stock trades as alleged in conservative media, she said, "I, I haven't ... I don't believe I did," and then said she'd have to check where the allegations originated.

Ciattarelli's campaign responded by launching a website: MikieMadeMillions.com.

Another spot by a pro-Ciattarelli super PAC highlighted Sherrill saying clean power is "gonna cost you an arm and a leg, but if you're a good person, you'll do it."

But the group's ad didn't say that Sherrill actually was criticizing her own party's messaging.

Bullshit.

All she was doing was criticizing the messaging -- not the policy itself. She was saying that Democrats can't sell green energy by saying it will cost you an armed and a leg, but you should sacrifice your limbs for Gaia. But she completely supports cutting off limbs for Gaia. She just wants to be more dishonest about the transaction.

A spokesperson for the Republican Governors Association, which backs the group behind the ad, declined to directly address taking Sherrill out of context and provided a statement attacking her energy record.

Washington Post Goes On Firing Spree, Canning Presumably Far-Left Opinion Writers

Oh no. No!

The Washington Post launched a sweeping round of layoffs Friday in its Opinion section, cutting veteran journalists and longtime staffers.

The Washington Post ignited a firestorm inside its own newsroom after reportedly axing more than a dozen editorial staffers, according to multiple reports. NBC News reporter Mark Segraves said that Marc Fisher -- a 39-year veteran of the paper and one of its most recognized voices -- was among those terminated.

"The @washingtonpost has fired writer & editor @mffisher along with 15 other columnists & editors. Marc Fisher spent 39 years at WaPo and is one of the greatest voices and reporters our city has. Democracy Dies In Darkness and the Washington Post is turning out the lights," Segraves wrote.

New York Times media reporter Ben Mullin posted a confirmation that Adam O'Neal, the Post's new Opinion Editor, ordered the dismissals as part of a planned overhaul. Mullin reported that six employees were formally laid off, while several contractors also lost their jobs. He shared an internal email that outlined O'Neal's decision to restructure the section.

"Scoop: Adam O'Neal, the new Opinion Editor at The Washington Post, is laying off staffers as part of a plan to shake up the section. A source says six employees are affected. I've also been told some contractors are being terminated," Mullin posted.

Retired Washington Post editor, correspondent and columnist Robert McCartney added more details, warning that the Opinion section will now operate without copy editors.

The Washington Post actually reported on DC cops complaining that serious crimes are routinely recorded as minor crimes to make the numbers look good and to avoid the "ire" of the brass.

D.C. police officers are feeding information to the Justice Department as it probes accusations of manipulated crime data, according to the D.C. Police Union and five other people familiar with the situation who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss an investigation in progress. The voluntary cooperation of about three dozen from the police force, according to three of the people, reflects long-standing frustrations about how violent crime is categorized by supervisors -- and surfaces as public safety in D.C. continues to capture the president's attention.

Some rank-and-file officers and detectives have complained for months -- in some cases, years -- that managers were recording serious crimes as more minor ones to make their police districts appear safer or avoid the ire of top department brass. Some kept lists, documenting cases where they believed a higher-up improperly classified a crime as a lesser offense. One such tally, obtained by The Washington Post, lists more than 150 instances since March 2024 where staff in a Southeast D.C. police district believed offenses were, at least initially, inappropriately classified.

Previously, just a month ago, the Washington Post insisted that Trump was crazy to claim that crime was out-of-control because all of the numbers say crime is down!

The Democrat Running to be Virginia's Top Law Enforcement Officer, the Attorney General, Repeatedly Wished for the Assassination of a Former Speaker of the House;
CIA Plant Abigail Spanberger Refuses to Call for His Withdrawal

National Review's Audrey Fahlberg:

Dem AG Nominee Jay Jones Fantasized About Shooting Former Virginia GOP Speaker: 'He Receives Both Bullets'

On August 8, 2022, a Republican state legislator received a disturbing string of early-morning text messages from a former colleague, Jay Jones, this year's Democratic nominee for Virginia attorney general.

Jones, who at the time had recently resigned from the state house after a brief stint representing Norfolk, had strong feelings about how the political class was eulogizing recently deceased former state legislator Joe Johnson Jr., a moderate Democrat with a long tenure in Virginia politics. Republican legislators like House Speaker Todd Gilbert had begun making public statements honoring Johnson's memory and political legacy, and some of those statements were making the rounds in state legislative group chats.

Around 8 a.m., Jones shared those feelings with his former state legislative colleague, Republican House Delegate Carrie Coyner. In a series of text messages obtained by National Review, Jones derided Johnson's political centrism and scoffed at the "glowing" tributes that were being made in his honor by Republicans in the wake of his death.

"Damn that was for mark," he wrote to Coyner, suggesting he'd meant to send the texts to someone else. And yet that realization didn't stop Jones from joking about what "that POS" Gilbert "would say about me if I died."

Then, the conversation took a dark turn.

"If those guys die before me," Jones wrote, referencing the Republican colleagues who were publicly honoring the deceased Johnson's memory, "I will go to their funerals to piss on their graves" to "send them out awash in something."

Jones then suggested that, presented with a hypothetical situation in which he had only two bullets and was faced with the choice of murdering then-Speaker of the House Todd Gilbert or two dictators, he'd shoot Gilbert "every time," prompting pushback from his former colleague:

Jones: Three people, two bullets
Gilbert, hitler, and pol pot
Gilbert gets two bullets to the head
Spoiler: put Gilbert in the crew with the two worst people you know and he receives both bullets every time
Coyner: Jay
Please stop
Jones: Lol
Ok, ok
Coyner: It really bothers me when you talk about hurting people or wishing death on them
It isn't ok
No matter who they are

...

Asked about the years-old text exchange, Coyner condemned Jones's rhetoric and said she sent screenshots of the conversation to Gilbert that day. She said she and Jones haven't spoken since, aside from a brief conversation about policy issues. "On August 8, 2022 I had a text conversation with Jay Jones, what he said was not just disturbing but disqualifying for anyone who wants to seek public office," she told NR in a statement. "Jay Jones wished violence on the children of a colleague and joked about shooting Todd Gilbert. It's disgusting and unbecoming of any public official."

...

'Breeding Little Fascists'

Coyner's alarm at her former colleague's violent rhetoric toward Gilbert prompted Jones to call her and explain his reasoning over the phone, a source familiar with the exchange told NR.

According to the source, the Democratic former legislator doubled down on the call, saying the only way public policy changes is when policymakers feel pain themselves, like the pain that parents feel when they watch their children die from gun violence. He asked her to provide counterexamples to disprove his claim.

Then at one point, the source said, he suggested he wished Gilbert's wife could watch her own child die in her arms so that Gilbert might reconsider his political views, prompting Coyner to hang up the phone in disgust.

Afterward, Jones continued his barrage of text messages, saying he was just asking questions. Coyner dismissed his excuse via text and chastised Jones for "hopping [sic] Jennifer Gilbert's children would die."

Rather than deny that he had wished death on the children, Jones responded by saying, "Yes, I've told you this before. Only when people feel pain personally do they move on policy."
Faced with more pushback from his frazzled former colleague, Jones somehow took the conversation a step further: "I mean do I think Todd and Jennifer are evil? And that they're breeding little fascists? Yes," he wrote, referring to Gilbert's wife and two young children.

The CIA Operative and Deep State Obersturmkommander Abigail Spanberger refuses to call for him to step aside.

Below, the children that Jay Jones -- who would be the top prosecutor in the state -- wants to see murdered so that their parents will adhere to the commands of the Democrat-Antifa-Media Death Cult.

A Breakdown of Joe Biden’s Unprecedented 81 Million Votes in 2020

Hillary Clinton tallied about 65 million votes as the Democrats’ presidential candidate in 2016, but in the Covid-year of 2020, Joe Biden received over 81 million votes. In 2024, Kamala Harris received 75 million votes, a significant dropoff from Joe Biden’s record ballot total.

Donald Trump, by contrast saw a steady increase in his vote total in each successive presidential race:

2016: ~ 62 million votes
2020: ~ 74 million votes
2024: ~ 77 million votes

Because it is simply preposterous that Joe Biden so wildly overperformed Hillary and Kamala, especially considering that all three ran against the same Republican candidate, there is a widespread assumption that Covid-era ballot chicanery resulted in Biden’s unmatched vote total. You’ll also recall that in the midst of the 2020 Covid hysteria, in-person voting was deemed lethally dangerous by Democrats, numerous judges, and the legacy media. Instead, ballots were scattered into the wind, to be gathered via mail, dropbox, ballot harvesters, copy machines, etc., with verification protocols mostly abandoned.

So where did those excess Biden ballots come from? I asked Grok to create a table for me, showing the vote totals by state for each of those three presidential elections, and then I exported those results into Excel so I could calculate the differences over the election cycles. There is nothing askew in the Trump results. On a state level and nationally, his vote totals consistently increased across the board over the three elections. But there are some huge swings in Democrat vote totals.

None of this proves fraud, but neither does it explain the Democrats’ extraordinary ballot haul in 2020. Further, the most preposterous Democrat vote totals in 2020 mainly occurred in deep blue states, so whatever ballot fraud may or may not have been occurring there served to increase Biden’s national vote total, but did not affect those states’ electoral votes. However, to the extent that there were fraudulent Democrat ballots for Biden, those likely cost Republicans some down ballot races in blue states.

While I have posted all vote totals further below, immediately below are the Democrats’ totals in swing states, and a few other interesting state results. Directly below this table are a few observations of mine about these state results.

The Morning Report — 10/6/25

Good morning kids. First, a very happy 250th birthday to the United States Navy! The Secretary of War (I just love writing that) Pete Hegseth had this to say:

War Secretary Pete Hegseth addressed a lively audience of U.S. Navy Sailors in Virginia to commemorate the military branch’s 250th anniversary, reiterating President Donald Trump’s emphasis on “America first, and peace through strength” and blasting diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). Hegseth received loud applause as he began his remarks to thousands of Sailors at the Naval Station Norfolk, the world’s largest naval station with over 82,000 active-duty military on base and over 29,000 civilians. Calling the crowd “the absolute best of America,” the War secretary said, “Looking out at all of you — I know you know why the President always says we have the strongest, most powerful, most lethal, most ready military on the planet, and he’s going to make sure we keep it that way.” “This is the perfect way to mark 250 years of the United States Navy. You know, President Trump has made our mission clear; America first, and peace through strength with common sense at every turn,” Hegseth continued, before emphasizing the name change from Department of Defense to Department of War. 

CBD and I discussed Secretary Hegseth's outstanding record to date as among the bright spots of the Trump 2.0 administration on the latest edition of the podcast. As a bit of a tease for the upcoming episode a bit later this week, we will be joined by a retired army veteran whose byline as an open blogger has appeared here on many occasions, and we'll get into the nitty gritty of Hegseth and the newWar Department. Should be an outstanding show.

So happy birthday and Anchors Aweigh!

Well there are wars and rumors of war. Abroad for sure but most alarmingly here at home. After 10 years and counting of blood-libeling President Donald Trump as literally Hitler and those who voted for and support him as White-Supremacist fascists (not understanding what that word actually means) ready to round up colored people of color and toss them into concentration camps, is it any wonder that cities have burned to the ground, and ICE officers are openly assaulted in the streets for doing their jobs in apprehending and deporting illegal aliens.

Most unhelpful to say the least are vile scumbag degenerates like this one shooting his mouth off and in so doing giving the green light for the truly unhinged among the Left (which is a number that is perhaps even larger than even we want to imagine possible) to attack anyone and anything even a red pubic hair's breadth to the right of Fidel Castro.

Virginia Democrat attorney general nominee Jay Jones in 2022 "fantasized" about shooting then-Republican colleague Todd Gilbert twice and wished death on Gilbert’s children, National Review reported Friday.

"Gilbert gets two bullets to the head," Jones told Republican House delegate Carrie Coyner as he laid out a hypothetical "three people, two bullets" scenario in which he listed Gilbert alongside Hitler and Pol Pot, according to text messages dated August 8, 2022, obtained by National Review. "Spoiler: put Gilbert in the crew with the two worst people you know and he receives both bullets every time," Jones wrote.

And this bipedal metastatic cancer on everything that is just, decent, moral and righteous is actually a candidate for Attorney General?! More horrifying than that is the fact that Virginia being what it is, he'll probably win.

Small wonder then that this actually happened:

A Biden-appointed federal judge who sentenced the man found guilty of attempting to assassinate U.S. Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh in 2022 is being accused of leniency in the case. Judge Deborah Boardman sentenced Nicholas Roske to eight years in prison on Friday, Fox News reported on Saturday. Roske is a transgender person, or a man living as a woman, who goes by the name Sophie. . . “The sentence is more lenient than what the Department of Justice (DOJ) had sought. Prosecutors said Roske should face at least 30 years, while Roske’s defense team had asked for eight,” the Fox article said. In a social media post on Friday, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi said the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) would be appealing the sentence

Good on Bondi. That said, here's a headline or internet meme that I'd truly like to see:

Brett Kavanaugh's would-be assassin didn't kill himself! Ditto this Deborah Boardman.

As for this notion of being in a civil war, that would presuppose that both sides are racking up body count. And so far, it is our side that is being put into hospitals, morgues and prisons as terrorists in black robes hurl law books at us while terrorists in keffiyahs and balaclavas hurl prepositioned bricks, molotov cocktails, fists and bullets at us with impunity courtesy of the former.

And so President Trump has thrown down the gauntlet by sending in the National Guard to try and put a stop to this insanity before it gets out of hand, unless of course we have blown past that point.

A federal judge on Saturday issued a temporary restraining order blocking President Trump from sending Oregon’s National Guard to Portland to defend federal agents from violent attacks by black bloc militants who surround the ICE facility every night.

Obama-appointed District Judge Michael Simon was convinced by lawyers for Oregon State that the attacks were peaceful. 

This flies in the face of footage from Fox News and “citizen journalists” chronicling violence every night as Antifa mobs hurl rocks at federal agents and their vehicles, assault journalists, and block traffic while Portland police stand by.  In fact, Portland police are doing more than nothing: they have been filmed actively gathering complaints from Antifa thugs who claim they were maced or roughed up by federal agents.

When called for backup, these pretend cops respond that they “don’t have the resources,” according to court documents tendered in the State of Oregon’s lawsuit. 

After “citizen journalist” Katie Daviscourt was given a black eye by an Antifa type who attacked her with a flagpole last week, Portland police ignored her entreaties to arrest her assailant. 

But the next night, they arrested her colleague Nick Sortor and charged him with disorderly conduct after he got into a one-sided scuffle with an aggressive group of black bloc militants who pushed him to the ground and broke his camera. 

After spending the night in a cell, Sortor told Fox News that the Portland jail was “weirdly empty because they don’t actually arrest criminals around here, just people like me that report on what’s actually happening on the ground…

“If what I was doing was disorderly, what do you call people with megaphones at three in the morning lighting fires in the middle of the street?”

Under orders from the Democrats who run the city, there’s no question that Portland cops are taking sides against the federal government, even as Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has revealed that her officers are being threatened with doxing campaigns and even $10,000 bounties to kill them.

I suppose the question is; Are the Portland cops sitting on their hands for fear of Antifa or for fear of retribution from the Democrats who control the city, or worse because they are actually members of Antifa who somehow snuck onto the force. Considering that a known Communist John Brennan actually became not only a CIA operative but rose to become the head of the agency itself, my assertion is certainly a frightening possibility.

There's Portland Oregon and the entire state of Illinois as that fat criminal Schlub Pritzker is also engaging in incitement and insurrection against the legitimate functioning of federal law enforcement. This is insurrection and revolution my friends. Unless and until everyone and everything behind this is utterly smashed, we are facing a reckoning and it's not going to be pretty.

An Indiana man accused of breaking into a home and stabbing a family, including the brutal, fatal stabbing of 6-year-old Logan Tipton, is now a free man. . .

"If I ever cross paths with him, I will kill the man. I will kill him where he stands," the boy's father said.

Consider that heartbreaking statement in light of all of the aforementioned and the totally corrupt system. So what would happen in Portland should the good and honest citizens decide to take matters into their own hands to defend their lives and property. They might actually find themselves firing not only on Antifa goons but Portland Police officers who may very well be Antifa's allies but dressed in Cop drag as it were.

And this my friends is how societies break down.

Have a good day!

And lastly, a quick shout-out and thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.
