CHAOS IN PORTLAND: Trump Supporter Pulls Gun After Being Assaulted By Antifa; Antifa Mob Trashes Cars to Stop ‘Freedom Rally’ (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By New York Post. Dramatic video shows the moment a man pulls a gun on Antifa protesters as they clashed with demonstrators taking part in a “Freedom Rally” near the Oregon state Capitol on Sunday.

The older man — wearing an American flag sweatshirt — was filmed in Salem initially getting out of his pickup truck to survey the damage allegedly caused by the Antifa mob.

He initially appeared calm as the counter-protesters dressed all in black surrounded and mocked him, with some threateningly aiming canisters at him throughout the confrontation.

But the squabble took an ugly turn after he was either sprayed in the face or struck with an object — prompting him to flinch and draw his weapon on the crowd.

“Get away from me!” he shouted, yanking a handgun from his waistband and cocking it as he aimed it toward the leftist activists.

Man Pulls Gun After Being Assaulted by Antifa in Oregon, Police Investigating

By Breitbart. Oregon State Police are investigating an incident near the state capitol in Salem where a man pulled a gun on Antifa protesters after they appeared to assault him and vandalize his vehicle. Police did not arrest the man who pulled his pistol after being pepper-sprayed by Antifa.

Video tweeted by self-described Antifa Press journalist Melissa “Claudio” Lewis shows a group of Antifa protesters armed with pepper-spray and batons surrounding a man whose truck had just been vandalized. The Antifa protesters appeared to have initially fired paintballs at the man’s windshield. . .

A second video, tweeted by Independent Media PDX shows the incident from a different angle. In this video, the repeated sounds of Antifa attacking the truck can be heard.

A video tweeted by @ViolaBLM shows police questioning the man after letting him up from the ground. The videographer seems angered that police did not shoot the white man. “If he was black, he’d be dead,” she says.

VP Harris Has No Immigration Meetings Scheduled Despite Leading Crisis Response; Illegal Alien Children to Be Housed on Military Bases

/0 Comments/in , /by

By New York Post. Vice President Kamala Harris avoided media over the weekend and has no immigration-related meetings on her public schedule Monday, as the situation at the border continues to deteriorate.

Harris, who was tapped by President Biden to handle the migrant crisis last Wednesday, made no media appearances on any of the highly watched weekend news talk shows — even as lawmakers on both sides of the aisle made the rounds following their respective visits to the border.

The vice president also has no immigration meetings or public events scheduled Monday, according to her diary released by the Office of the Vice President.

The lack of response comes as the Biden administration’s undoing of former President Donald Trump’s border policies has prompted a flood of Central American and Mexican illegal migrants at the US border, including thousands of unescorted children.

DOD and HHS Mum on How Many Migrant Children They Will House on Military Bases

By Washington Examiner. The Pentagon and Department of Health and Human Services continue to conceal just how many unaccompanied migrant children will be housed at military bases across the United States.

As migrants have surged across the border in the opening months of the Biden administration, Customs and Border Protection temporary facilities have become overwhelmed, and migrant children are being transferred to alternate facilities. In past border surges during the Obama and Trump administrations, tens of thousands of migrant children were housed at military bases. Today, the DOD and HHS refuse to disclose the number of accommodations they are preparing for unaccompanied migrant children.

“I’m not going to speak to the numbers,” Pentagon spokesman John Kirby told the Washington Examiner at a Monday press briefing. . .

HHS again declined Monday to respond to an inquiry by the Washington Examiner for the total number of migrants it is planning to house at military bases. . .

Facilities include the two military installations announced by the DOD last week, soft-sided buildings being constructed at Fort Bliss, and 350 beds in a vacant dormitory at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland.

WATCH: Liberals Hypocritical on Biden Border Crisis — Where Is Crying AOC?

/1 Comment/in , /by

Fox News contributor Lara Trump said Monday on Fox News Channel’s “Fox & Friends” that liberals like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) are being hypocritical about the surge of unaccompanied minors at the U.S.-Mexico border, now that Joe Biden is president. . .

She added, “It’s total hypocrisy. You bring up a great point. The way they covered this under the Trump administration versus the Biden administration is total hypocrisy. Where is the outrage from the folks on the left? Where is AOC down there doing a photo op crying in front of a wall? Because I have news for her, it’s much worse right now than it ever was under the Trump administration, yet it has been crickets from those folks. I think it tells a very scary story.” (Read more from “WATCH: Liberals Hypocritical on Biden Border Crisis — Where Is Crying AOC?” HERE)

Report: Amazon Started a Social Media War With Democrats Because Jeff Bezos Got Mad

/0 Comments/in , /by

A recent report from Recode states that e-commerce giant Amazon’s recent social media posts targeting Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) came after CEO Jeff Bezos angrily told executives that they weren’t pushing back hard enough against criticism of the company.

Recode reports in an article titled “Amazon Started a Twitter War Because Jeff Bezos Was Pissed,” that Amazon’s recent tweets harshly criticizing Senators Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren were the result of a new mandate from company CEO Jeff Bezos to fight back harder against criticism.

Recode reports:

Recode has learned that Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos expressed dissatisfaction in recent weeks that company officials weren’t more aggressive in how they pushed back against criticisms of the company that he and other leaders deem inaccurate or misleading. What followed was a series of snarky and aggressive tweets that ended up fueling their own media cycles. . .

“I welcome @SenSanders to Birmingham and appreciate his push for a progressive workplace,” Clark’s account posted on Wednesday. “I often say we are the Bernie Sanders of employers, but that’s not quite right because we actually deliver a progressive workplace.”

Biden’s Diversity and Inclusion Chief Under Investigation for Posts Comparing Trump to Hitler

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Department of Defense is investigating the head of the U.S. Special Operations Command’s office of diversity and inclusion for posting anti-Trump content to social media.

The Pentagon announced last week that it had hired Richard Torres-Estrada to serve as USSOCOM’s head of diversity. . .

The announcement sparked backlash online as old social media posts from Torres-Estrada’s Facebook page began circulating online. One post from June 2020 featured side-by-side photos of former President Donald Trump holding up a Bible outside of St. John’s Church in Washington, D.C., and a doctored image of Adolf Hitler made to look as if he is holding up a Bible.

Torres-Estrada captioned the post, “Here I leave this and slowly retire (to continue working from home)…”

A spokesman for USSOCOM confirmed to The Daily Caller News Foundation on Sunday that the Pentagon had opened up an investigation into Torres-Estrada over his social media posts. (Read more from “Biden’s Diversity and Inclusion Chief Under Investigation for Posts Comparing Trump to Hitler” HERE)

Teenage Boys Forced to Apologize to Girls at School on Behalf of Their Gender

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Young teenage boys at a school in Victoria, Australia, were forced to stand up during an assembly and apologize to girls at the school on behalf of their gender.

Australian media outlet 7News reported that parents of male students at Brauer College in Warrnambool were outraged to learn about what their children were forced to do. One parent, Danielle Shephard, told the outlet that her 12-year-old son felt confused after he was forced to apologize.

“He said that he was made to stand up and basically apologize… it wasn’t explained properly to the male students what they were doing or why they were doing it,” Shephard told the outlet.

The exercise was conducted after more than a dozen students and parents at another school made accusations of sexual harassment and assault. Shephard said Brauer parents weren’t warned that an assembly on consent would take place or that boys would be forced to apologize to girls for something they personally had not done.

New Poll Shows ‘Warning Signs’ for President Biden

/0 Comments/in , , /by

President Joe Biden is facing such struggles that even ABC’s Kendall Karson foretells of “warning signs” from their poll released on Sunday, conducted March 26 and March 27 with 517 adults. This is especially the case when it comes to “areas of his agenda where external events have imposed new urgency,” including when it gun control and unaccompanied minors.

Fifty-seven percent of adults disapprove of Biden’s handling of “the situation with migrants and unaccompanied children showing up at the US-Mexican border,” as well as when it comes to “gun violence.” . . .

President Biden especially can’t win when it comes to gun control. Karson notes that, with added emphasis, “Biden’s handling of gun violence draws disapproval from 86% of Republicans, 56% of independents and 37% of Democrats — the highest dissatisfaction among members of his own party of the issues asked about in the survey. The disapproval from both sides is likely seen by Republicans as pursuing too many gun restrictions and by some Democrats as not acting quickly enough.” (Read more from “New Poll Shows ‘Warning Signs’ for President Biden” HERE)

Academic Researchers Claim Gun Rights Advocates Are Racist

/0 Comments/in , /by

Researchers from the University of Illinois at Chicago have published a study that claims “racially biased conservative Whites” support the Second Amendment right to bear arms because they identify gun ownership with good citizenship and suggests mass shootings “may be a symptom of the country’s enduring legacy of racism.”

This analysis was published in the Washington Post by associate professor of political science Alexandra Filindra, Ph.D. student in political science Beyza Buyuker, and clinical assistant professor of political science Noah J. Kaplan of the University of Illinois at Chicago. They published their findings in the Post after two mass shootings occurred within one week of each other in Georgia and Colorado and amid a renewed national debate over gun control.

These researchers wanted to find out why “gun rights supporters are highly politically organized and unwavering on their views, while gun regulation supporters are not.”

“Our research found a reason for this difference: racial differences in rates of gun ownership and beliefs about guns,” the researchers wrote. “White Americans are far more likely than any other group to own firearms and oppose gun regulations. To them, guns are potent political symbols. For many people, especially White Americans, guns are integral to who they are as citizens and what it means to be a good citizen.”

On the other hand, gun control advocates “tend to think about guns in terms of preventing violence and the harms that guns can inflict,” the researchers state. Because “racially conservative Whites” — who are defined as scoring high on measures of anti-black prejudice — associate gun ownership with good citizenship, they “interpret attempts to restrict access to guns not as an effort to prevent gun violence but as an attack on their ability to express their patriotism.” (Read more from “Academic Researchers Claim Gun Rights Advocates Are Racist” HERE)

Lisa Murkowski Draws First Major Primary Challenger

/0 Comments/in , /by

Alaska Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski drew her first major primary challenger Monday from the state’s commissioner of administration, Kelly Tshibaka.

“We know what Washington D.C. thinks about Alaska: We’re here for their benefit, and we won’t put up much of a fight. After nearly 20 years in D.C., Lisa Murkowski thinks the same way,” Tshibaka said in an announcement video published Monday declaring her candidacy.

The challenge comes two weeks after the Alaska Republican Party voted to censure Murkowski and pledge support for a primary opponent. While the censure came in part by Murkowski’s vote in favor of former President Donald Trump’s impeachment, the party cited Murkowski’s long history of decisions on consequential issues that fly in the face of conservative and Alaskan interests, from abortion to transgender sports.
