The issue before is now is very simple and clear. There is a large and growing movement of leftwing terrorism in this country. It is well organized and funded. And it is shielded by far-left Democrat judges, prosecutors and attorneys general.
The only remedy is to use legitimate state power to dismantle terrorism and terror networks.

“Goering shouted, ‘This [the Reichstag fire] is the beginning of the Communist revolution! We must not wait a minute. We will show no mercy. Every Communist official must be shot, where he is found. Every Communist deputy must this very night be strung up.’”

I can’t imagine the difficulties of being a Fascism scholar before we had the official definition provided by the eminence, Tom Nichols, as “fascism is only when you fear of posting things online”. It must have been just impossible!

I emailed DHS yesterday and they sent me a statement about this incident. But when I asked specifically what kind of weapon the woman who was shot allegedly had they didn't respond.

"Although [DHS spokesperson] McLaughlin said Martinez was 'armed with a semi-automatic weapon,' federal prosecutors did not charge Martinez with weapons violations, or allege she fired at federal agents."

It appears that the federal agents occupying Portland have people embedded with them charged with the task of producing stories presenting the government’s version of events. Ironically, this was the sort of work JD Vance did in Iraq before he decided he was against that war.

Did the judge only block Trump from deploying *Oregon* National Guard but there’s a loophole that allows him to deploy another state’s National Guard to Oregon?

Trump: Why is FoxNews and Peter Doocy putting on Democrat Senator Mark Kelly to talk about, totally unabated or challenged, Healthcare? The FAKE SPIN is so bad for Republicans that it is hard to believe that we WIN. It will be very unfair, in the future, when they don't have "TRUMP" to fight for them. Therefore, we should fix it, NOW!
I'm watching this Interview. It just doesn't end.
Fox should either get on board, or get off board, NOW, but at this point, it just doesn't make any difference to me. They suck up the Ratings because of us, and then spin them in the Democrats' direction. They refuse to put up Polls that correctly show me at 65% in Popularity, a Republican RECORD, but if I have a fake bad
"Poll," many of which are done by Fox (One of the worst "Pollsters" out there is the FoxNews Poll), they put them up immediately, and with gusto.
Republicans are so tired of this fight with Fox always trying to be so "politically correct!" Thank you for your attention to this matter.

It’s so funny for a US senator to be like “umm… in the time of oppressive government, why are you using your platform to show how I helped enable that oppression?”

I can’t bring myself to block him because I just find him too entertaining. I don’t see him pop up much, but it’s always the dumbest thing I’ll read that day and that’s beautiful in its own way.

I learned who he was back in March when I was criticizing Dems and he popped up to ask why I wasn’t protesting in the streets. When I replied with photos from a recent protest I attended he said it didn’t count because I was protesting in the city where I lived rather than where Trump was.

This is Schatz’s last post on Bluesky. He originally bailed on the platform because he voted for Trump’s budget back in March, giving him everything he wanted for nothing in return.

A few months later he tried to return but decided it wasn’t worth it, opting to just post on the Nazi site instead.

Sen. Brian Schatz, a Democrat from Hawaii, bailed on Bluesky because people kept pointing out how often he would vote for Trump’s bullshit while talking tough.

Twitter is supposed to be his safe space where he can talk a big game while rubber stamping fascism so this is clearly devastating for him

During Trump 1 I was talking to a guy at the dog park in Australia who heard my accent and wanted to talk about America and how awful CA was specifically based on the right wing media he consumed. The look on his face when I told him that was the last place I lived in the U.S. and how great it is

I really don’t know. It also occurs to me they might be trying to juice some crime stats. They claim a billion percent increase in violence against ICE agents or whatever

It’s a movie with a great sense of humor. It was quite a balancing act but I think the levity in some of those scenes really helped.

Yes, it’s only a loose adaptation. The book takes place in the 60s and the 80s. The movie is the 2000s and today.

I should also make it clear that it's a hard film to talk about without spoilers. That's why the trailers were arguably weak. All of the most interesting plot points are hard to discuss without giving away key elements. Just go watch it without reading spoilers. It's a great movie.
