DNC Violence

Excerpt:

As is the case with most pro-illegal immigration demonstrations, there are a lack of American flags flown. Odd, because you would think someone here illegally wouldn’t fly the flag of the country they are seeking “asylum” from, yet at the anti-ICE riots taking place in Los Angeles, that was the case. At least, until a handful of future Democrat staffers realized the optics problem and handed out American flags because they thought they could con people into thinking they were patriotic.

The goal is to avoid any more in-kind Republican campaign ads like this one.

This may surprise you, but the left aren’t sending their best and brightest. In Los Angeles, the worst and dimmest run rampant.

A handful of organizers, or at least one of the progressive NGOs funded by progressive billionaires, attempted to do something about it, as captured on the ground by Aldo Buttazzoni. They are giving out American flags. I think the goal is that when people see photos of them flying American flags, it will mask how much they hate America IRL.

They would have gotten away with it, too, had it not been for one thing that was overlooked…

They never told people that flying the American flag upside down was a bad thing.

The latest L.A. riots came after ICE began enforcing immigration law and rounding up illegals in downtown Los Angeles, and the New York Times is desperately trying to downplay the radical and violent nature of the so-called protests by calling them “largely peaceful” (i.e., somewhat violent, as a trove of photos from Los Angeles prove).

A representative piece is “What to Know About the Immigration Protests in Los Angeles,” with this subhead attached: “Demonstrations against the Trump administration’s crackdown on immigration have been largely peaceful, but tensions flared after President Trump ordered National Guard troops to deploy to the city.”

The story is wrong right from the subhead. Riots were already ongoing, with stones hurled at cop cars, while the National Guard troops were sent to protect the Los Angeles Federal Building, which came under siege Friday by protesters.

The byline was shared by breaking news reporters Yan Zhuang, Anushka Patil, and Remy Tumin, who used that ridiculous phrase “largely peaceful” three more times in their actual report (was “mostly peaceful” still taken by CNN, after the last round of national rioting five years ago?).

That defensive description held even as the story documented many violent acts:

The protests have been largely peaceful but have flared up in pockets of downtown Los Angeles and in nearby suburbs, as well as in San Francisco.

Demonstrations on Sunday afternoon near a downtown detention center were largely peaceful, but some protesters fired fireworks at police officers under a bridge on the nearby U.S. 101 freeway. Several driverless Waymo cars were set on fire in downtown Los Angeles.

Mr. Trump described the largely peaceful demonstrators as “insurrectionist mobs” on social media on Sunday, and said Los Angeles had been “invaded and occupied.”

Excerpt:

“At this point, this has been very peaceful. It has been tense at some points, but we haven’t seen any violence happening here,” CNN correspondent Julia Vargas Jones said as the network showed rioters on motorbikes circling a car on fire in the middle of an intersection.

A similar video was shown on CNN as Rep. Nanette Barragán (D., Calif.) accused the Trump administration of “targeting peaceful protests.”

… Former vice president Kamala Harris accused the Trump administration of “stoking fear” and said the “demonstrations in defense of our immigrant neighbors have been overwhelmingly peaceful.”

“I continue to support the millions of Americans who are standing up to protect our most fundamental rights and freedoms,” she said in a statement.

Rep. Judy Chu (D., Calif.) also blamed Trump for the destruction, accusing him of creating a “manufactured crisis” by deploying the National Guard. As she argued on MSNBC that the Los Angeles Police Department had the situation under control, the network showed multiple large fires burning in the street. CNN anchor Dana Bash, meanwhile, suggested the disruption wasn’t “a real riot.”

“I just want to state for the record that what did happen in 1992 was so different from what we’re seeing now,” she said. “That was a real riot that went all across the city of Los Angeles after a verdict in the Rodney King case.”

A local ABC affiliate anchor, Marc Brown, described the rioters as “just a bunch of people having fun watching cars burn into a massive confrontation and altercation between officers and demonstrators.” NBC News correspondent Steve Patterson called them “peaceful people that want to get their message across.”

Excerpt:

Constitutional scholar Alan Dershowitz predicted on Monday that Gov. Gavin Newsom’s lawsuit against President Donald Trump over the Los Angeles riots will go down in flames, just like his city.

Speaking on his program “The Dershow,” Dershowitz expressed doubt that the U.S. Supreme Court would “second guess” Trump’s decision to federalize thousands of California National Guardsmen and deploy them to the epicenters of riots taking place across L.A. Gavin quickly sued Trump, accusing the president of “unlawfully” ordering soldiers under his control to put down the unrest.

“The Supreme Court will not second-guess the President of the United States on this issue,” Dershowitz said. “They will say, whether right or wrong, the president had the authority to make this decision and he had the authority to make it over the lack of consent of the governor,” Dershowitz explained.

“Let’s be clear, there was violence. You can see it on television; there were bombings, fire bombings, and burnings of Teslas and other self-driving cars. There were rocks being thrown at ICE officers. There were threats against ICE officers, threats against their families. Was it a full-blown insurrection? No.”

Excerpt:

President Donald Trump called in the National Guard to help after the violence against federal agents, the police, and the property damage erupted.

Meanwhile, Democrats were denying the violence and claiming things were in hand when they weren’t. Instead of truly standing focused against the riots, they were spending their time attacking Trump and inciting people.

But now, Mayor Karen Bass has truly given away the game in her latest remarks during a press conference she gave Monday night. She called on the federal government to stop the ICE raids. She claimed that on Thursday, it was peaceful until the intervention of the federal government [the ICE raids].

Attorney General Pam Bondi said Monday that the suspect accused of assaulting a federal officer during the anti-ICE demonstrations in Los Angeles has been identified.

The FBI initially asked for the public’s help by offering a $50,000 cash reward for information leading to the man’s arrest. He was accused of injuring a federal officer after throwing rocks at law enforcement vehicles, according to the FBI.

Bondi was a guest on “Hannity” Monday night, when she broke the news to host Sean Hannity.

“The FBI has identified him,” Bondi said. “That guy has just been identified, and they are doing a search warrant on his house, as we speak. And he has been identified…his name is Reyes. He is going to be on the Most Wanted list.

“He has been identified by the great police work by the FBI,” she continued. “So, you can run, you can’t hide. We are coming after you federally. If you assault a police officer, if you rob a store, if you loot, if you spit on police officers, we’re coming after you.”

President Trump’s deployment of the National Guard and Marines to Los Angeles to stop rioting could last 60 days and is estimated to cost at least $134 million, the Pentagon revealed Tuesday — as House Democrats slammed Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over his role in the mission.

Trump took control of California’s National Guard Saturday to deploy 4,100 of its members to halt violent protests against immigration enforcement raids. He also ordered 700 Marines to the area Monday to help provide security for federal buildings and officials.

Looting and clashes with police continued for a fourth straight night Monday in downtown Los Angeles.

“We stated very publicly that it’s 60 days because we want to ensure that those rioters, looters and thugs on the other side assaulting our police officers know that we’re not going anywhere,” Hegseth told Rep. Pete Aguilar (D-Calif.) during a House budget hearing Tuesday.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said that troops deployed to LA could remain there 60 days.

“If Governor Gavin Newscum, of California, and Mayor Karen Bass, of Los Angeles, can’t do their jobs, which everyone knows they can’t, then the Federal Government will step in and solve the problem, RIOTS & LOOTERS, the way it should be solved!!!” Trump wrote.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said that 2,000 National Guard troops will be sent to Los Angeles to arrest protesters.

Excerpt:

The military has activated about 700 active-duty Marines who could be sent to Los Angeles, joining National Guard troops who were sent to the city to respond to protests, the U.S. Northern Command said in a statement.

Members of the Marine Corps could start arriving in the Los Angeles area as soon as Tuesday, a defense official told CBS News. The Marines are based in Twentynine Palms, a city east of Los Angeles.

Northern Command said the Marines will “seamlessly integrate” with hundreds of members of the National Guard to protect “federal personnel and federal property.” They have been trained in “de-escalation, crowd control and standing rules for the use of force,” the military added.

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said Monday that around 700 Marines “are being deployed to Los Angeles to restore order.”

California Gov. Gavin Newsom suggested late Monday he could take legal action over the planned use of Marines, calling it illegal.

In a post on X, he wrote, “U.S. Marines serve a valuable purpose for this country — defending democracy. They are not political pawns. The Secretary of Defense is illegally deploying them onto American streets so Trump can have a talking point at his parade this weekend. It’s a blatant abuse of power. We will sue to stop this. The Courts and Congress must act. Checks and balances are crumbling. This is a red line — and they’re crossing it. WAKE UP!”

Excerpt:

Google is once again eliminating right-leaning media outlets and organizations from search results.

MRC researchers searched the words “trump rescission” on Tuesday, the day the Trump administration sent a $9.4 billion rescissions package to Congress that would cut funds to USAID as well as PBS and NPR’s taxpayer funding. Not one of the 14 links the search giant provided led to a right-leaning media outlet or organization.

Instead, Google repeatedly propped up numerous leftist media outlets, including none other than NPR and PBS. Meanwhile, Google excluded Fox News, The Daily Caller and The Heritage Foundation from its search results, even though all three published articles on the topic.

MRC President David Bozell torched the search engine for its blatant bias. “This is just more evidence of how much Google hates Trump and how much it loves propping up these propaganda outlets,” Bozell said. “Google has abandoned any pretense of neutrality. Conservative voices are not merely being suppressed and shoved to the bottom of results, they’re being completely eliminated and erased.”

Nearly 40 percent of the links Google elevated came from NPR and PBS reporting on how they each might be stripped of public funds. In one piece—headlined “Trump asks Congress to claw back $1.1 billion from public media”—PBS tried to defend its taxpayer funding and spread doom and gloom about what might happen should it be pulled. NPR did something similar in another article headlined “Trump asks Congress to wipe out funding for public broadcasting.”

Excerpt:

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu is facing severe backlash from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the White House for comparing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers to neo-Nazis on Wednesday.

Michelle Wu on Wednesday attacked agents, comparing their practice of wearing masks to “other groups that routinely wear masks,” including NSC-131, a New England group classified by the Anti Defamation League, Southern Poverty Law Center, and other far-left groups as a neo-Nazi group. “I don’t know of any police department that routinely wears masks,” she said.

However, ICE is not a police department, but a federal law enforcement agency under DHS. They regularly wear masks during enforcement operations to protect both their safety and the integrity of their enforcement operations.

Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons recently addressed the mask criticisms in a news conference, announcing the arrest of roughly 1,500 ICE targets in Wu’s home state of Massachusetts. “I’m sorry if people are offended by them wearing masks, but I’m not going to let my officers and agents go out there and put their lives on the line and their family on the line because people don’t like what immigration enforcement is,” he said.

Donald Trump Suffers Major Legal Setback In Harvard Fight– www.miamiherald.com

Excerpt:

From bad to worse: The Harvard Law Review is facing multiple federal probes over reports, published in the Free Beacon, of racial discrimination at the journal. Its conduct in the face of those probes has only added to the furor.

The Review, our Aaron Sibarium reports, “retaliated against a student editor for allegedly leaking documents … and demanded, as part of the journal’s disciplinary process, that he request their destruction.” Those actions came as the journal “was under a document retention order” from the feds. As a result, they “verged on witness intimidation and could get the law review in even deeper trouble with the government,” attorneys told Sibarium.

“What do they call it when a criminal tries to intimidate the witness?” said Jason Torchinsky, a former official in the Justice Department’s civil rights division. “If you know someone is a witness in a federal investigation, and you try to intimidate them into stopping cooperation with the government, that in itself is its own offense.”

Band-aid over a bullet hole: Racial discrimination isn’t the only problem plaguing Harvard. There’s also the issue of pervasive anti-Semitism and anti-Israel bias on its campus—something the school pledged to combat in part by hiring a Professor in Residence in Modern Jewish Studies at its Divinity School. That professor, Harvard announced on Wednesday, is self-proclaimed “counter-Zionist” Shaul Magid.

For Magid, Zionism is “unjust” and can be “set aside” along with “Manifest Destiny, colonialism, and any number of other chauvinistic and ethnocentric ideologies of the past.”

Magid’s appointment did not land well with Rabbi David Wolpe, who spent a year as a visiting scholar at Harvard’s Divinity School. Magid’s views are “very fringe” and don’t “represent anything like the mainstream view of the American Jewish community,” Wolpe told us. “He is not an answer to the problem that Harvard has with their Jewish students or with the exclusion of mainstream views.”

Haxhiaj has been charged with one count of assault and battery on a police officer and one count of interfering with police

Worcester, Massachusetts City Councilor Etel Haxhiaj has been charged with assault and battery on an officer as well as interfering with police following a May 8 ICE operation in the city that saw the District 5 city councilor captured on camera attacking authorities as they carried out an arrest. ; ;

Per the Telegram & Gazette, court records released on June 4 found that the police department had sought three charges against Haxhiaj, however, at a closed-door hearing on June 4, an assistant clerk-magistrate found probable cause to issue two of the charges. ; ;

Haxhiaj has been charged with one count of assault and battery on a police officer and one count of interfering with police. Police had sought two counts of assault and battery on an officer. She is set to be arraigned on July 23. ; ;

Haxhiaj wrote in a statement regarding the charges, “Our community continues to be shocked and devastated by the events on Eureka Street as our country staggers from political upheaval. It is frustrating to now be targeted by this criminal prosecution as well. I am a mother, an immigrant and elected leader who attempted, along with other Worcester residents, to protect a traumatized young person, two mothers and an infant. I did the humane thing to do in this situation, nothing more, nothing less.”

Excerpt:

Harvard Divinity School (HDS) appointed Shaul Magid, a leftist Jewish philosopher who describes himself as a “counter-Zionist,” to a new position the university says it created as a way to combat “anti-Israeli bias.”

Magid, who has described the Jewish state as “illiberal” and “chauvinist,” will be the university’s inaugural Professor of Modern Jewish Studies in Residence. Harvard says the new position is part of its effort to stem the tide of anti-Semitism and anti-Israel ideology in its classrooms after its anti-Semitism task force found that “politicized instruction” in four of its schools “mainstreamed and normalized what many Jewish and Israeli students experience as antisemitism.”

The report’s authors said Jewish students were unable to “engage fully in academic and co-curricular life at Harvard” due to attacks from anti-Israel peers. They also warned about the “ease with which ‘anti-Zionism’ slips into what is effectively antisemitism,” citing an anti-Semitic cartoon students and faculty shared on social media.

The “politicized instruction” at the Divinity School, the report noted, includes subjecting Jewish students to “the embrace of a pedagogy of ‘de-zionization’” in which professors “attribute to Jews two great sins: first, in the Levant, the establishment of the State of Israel and the Palestinian Nakba; and second, in the United States, participation in White supremacy.”

Chinese Communist Party’s Disturbing Nickname for Harvard Proves Trump Was Right to Take Action– www.westernjournal.com

Excerpt:

You can often glean a lot about someone or something based solely on how people talk about them when they’re not in the room.

President Donald Trump’s use of “Rocket Man” to describe North Korean strongman Kim Jong Un, for instance, revealed a lot.

It was obviously biting and mocking, noting disdain and a lack of respect, while still acknowledging the dangers that Kim and his missile-shaped dreams represented. You can often find similar phenomena throughout the world, where small, candid quips pack big, layered meaning.

So what does it mean that the Chinese Communist Party has reportedly described an American institute of higher learning as its “party school”?

Here’s the key snippet from an ominous Wall Street Journal report:

“For decades, the [CCP] has sent thousands of mid-career and senior bureaucrats to pursue executive training and postgraduate studies on U.S. campuses, with Harvard University a coveted destination described by some in China as the top ‘party school’ outside the country.”

The U.S. Department of Education has notified the Middle States Commission on Higher Education (the “Commission”) that Columbia University is not in compliance with the Commission’s accreditation requirements.

From the DoEd Press Release:

The U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) today notified Middle States Commission on Higher Education (the Commission) that its member institution, Columbia University, is in violation of federal antidiscrimination laws and therefore fails to meet the standards for accreditation set by the Commission. Pursuant to President Trump’s Executive Order, Reforming Accreditation to Strengthen Higher Education, the Department has an obligation to promptly provide accreditors with any noncompliance findings related to member institutions.

The Commission’s “Standards for Accreditation and Requirements of Affiliation” state that “a candidate or accredited institution possesses or demonstrates … compliance with all applicable government laws and regulations.” In light of OCR’s determination, Columbia University no longer appears to meet the Commission’s accreditation standards.

“After Hamas’ October 7, 2023, terror attack on Israel, Columbia University’s leadership acted with deliberate indifference towards the harassment of Jewish students on its campus. This is not only immoral, but also unlawful. Accreditors have an enormous public responsibility as gatekeepers of federal student aid. They determine which institutions are eligible for federal student loans and Pell Grants. Just as the Department of Education has an obligation to uphold federal antidiscrimination law, university accreditors have an obligation to ensure member institutions abide by their standards,” said U.S. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon. “We look forward to the Commission keeping the Department fully informed of actions taken to ensure Columbia’s compliance with accreditation standards including compliance with federal civil rights laws.” ….

A 37-year-old Muslim man from Michigan who planned to “even the score” and use guns for “God’s wrath” after threatening Jewish preschoolers pleaded guilty to being a felon in possession of a firearm.

Hassan Chokr, of Dearborn, Michigan, “aggressively targeted Jewish parents and their preschool children at a local synagogue in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. After unleashing a menacing antisemitic tirade against them, he lied and attempted to buy several firearms at a Dearborn gun store,” the Department of Justice stated.

“In December 2022, Chokr, 37, drove through the parking lot of a Jewish synagogue as parents walked their preschoolers into the building, yelling profanities and attacking their support for Israel,” the DOJ noted.

The DOJ’s statement continues:

“After being asked to leave, Chokr drove to a gun store in Dearborn. While there, he possessed a Landor Arms, 12-gauge semi-automatic shotgun; a Del-ton, 5.56mm rifle; and a Glock, 9mm semi-automatic pistol. He held each firearm, and at times pointed it and pulled the trigger.”

A federal judge on Thursday blocked the Trump administration from deporting the family of Mohamad Soliman, the individual suspected of firebombing a gathering of Israel supporters in Boulder, Colorado, on Sunday.

Judge Gordon P. Gallagher’s ruling stated that the administration cannot remove Soliman’s wife and five children from the District of Colorado or the United States pending a ruling from the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals. “[T]he Court finds that deportation without process could work irreparable harm and an order must issue without notice due to the urgency this situation presents,” the judge wrote.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested the family earlier this week and was preparing to deport them before the judge’s ruling, The Hill reported.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is preparing to deport the family of Boulder, Colo., attacker Mohamed Soliman’s wife and five children.

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem said Tuesday that the family had been detained in connection with the investigation, saying they would face questioning over whether they had any knowledge of the attack.

But according to a DHS statement Wednesday, ICE was said to be “processing them for removal.”

The statement sheds new light on a White House social media post Tuesday that said the family “could be deported by tonight.”

“Six One-Way Tickets for Mohamed’s Wife and Five Kids. Final Boarding Call Coming Soon,” the White House’s post said, along with an emoji of an airplane.

The Washington Post has been caught once again putting its left-wing, anti-Trump ideology before reporting the actual news as it garbles the story about the cratering amount of fentanyl being seized at the southern border.

In this case, confiscating fewer illegal drugs is a good thing because it means less is making it across the border, not that law enforcement is slacking.

Since Trump came to office and began to tighten immigration rules and increasing border security, the bad guys in Mexico have had a much harder time of illegally smuggling dangerous fentanyl over the border. And the amount of the illegal drug being interdicted by federal officials and local police has dropped precipitously.

But instead of reporting the facts in this case, the Post tried to muddy the story up and called it “complex” all just so they could avoid giving Trump any credit.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt lammed the paper during her media briefing on Tuesday.

BOULDER, Colo. — Hundreds of people squeezed into the Jewish Community Center in Boulder, Colorado, for a vigil that featured prayer, singing and emotional testimony from a victim and witnesses of the firebombing attack in the city’s downtown, while a federal judge has blocked the deportation of the suspect’s family.

Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 45, has been charged with a federal hate crime and state counts of attempted murder in Sunday’s attack on a group demonstrating for the release of Israeli hostages in Gaza. He is being held in a county jail on a $10 million cash bond and is scheduled to make an appearance in state court on Thursday.

Witnesses say Soliman threw two Molotov cocktails at the group and authorities say he confessed to the attack that injured 15 people.

Rachelle Halpern, who has been walking with the group since 2023, said during Wednesday evening’s vigil that she remembers thinking it was strange to see a man with a canister looking like he was going to spray pesticide on the grass. Then she heard a crash and screams and saw flames around her feet.

“A woman stood one foot behind me, engulfed in flames from head to toe, lying on the ground with her husband,” she said. “People immediately, three or four men immediately rushed to her to smother the flames.”

ABC News propaganda show “The View” has pushed wild claims about Elon Musk’s service to the U.S. federal government.

On Wednesday’s episode of “The View,” co-host Sunny Hostin launched an eyebrow-raising attack on Musk.

Hostin blamed Musk, without citing any specific evidence, for the loss of “300,000 lives, mostly children.”

She attributed this alleged death toll to Musk’s involvement in President Donald Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

The initiative is focused on streamlining the federal government.

As part of the endeavor, DOGE proposed cuts in personnel, contracts, and foreign aid.

“But the damage that he did was just really incredible,” Hostin said.
