On D-Day anniversary, Lincoln Project actually equates left-wing Antifa thugs with soldiers who stormed Normandy's beaches and fought Hitler, Nazis



The Lincoln Project — the notorious group of supposed conservatives who were out to get former President Donald Trump but ended up disgraced and humiliated — continues to demonstrate a stunning lack of self-awareness and basic intelligence.

What now?

Joining the legion of left-wingers who sing the praises of Antifa — the lawless, militant thugs who disguise their identities while ganging up and terrorizing those who get in their way — the Lincoln Project used the anniversary of D-Day to equate Antifa with the soldiers who stormed Normandy's beaches to fight Adolf Hitler and Nazis in World War II.

Here's the ad the Lincoln Project ran:

The work of opposing fascism is as American as apple pie. As we again face the rise fascism — this time on our own… https://t.co/xaZveMV4m9

"The work of opposing fascism is as American as apple pie," the text of the group's Twitter post read. "As we again face the rise fascism — this time on our own shores — that work must continue."

The ad included a video whose narrator actually referred to the World War II allies as "Antifa" — as if any of those incredibly brave and honorable soldiers would be caught dead participating in any of Antifa's thuggish behavior.

How did folks react?

Incredibly, the tweet has received over 10,000 likes since Sunday, as well as a number of kudos-drenched comments. But not everybody is buying what the Lincoln Project is trying to sell:

  • "Those American soldiers loved America, loved the flag, were patriotic, brave, HATED Nazism AND communism, and would never destroy the property of innocent American citizens," one commenter said. "Complete opposite of today's America-hating Antifa domestic terrorists."
  • "Anyone comparing current day Antifa (Marxists) to veterans of Allied countries in the world wars needs their diplomas revoked and their heads examined," another user said. "Honor the heroes and please refrain from invoking parallels to domestic terrorists within the same discussion."
  • "Stop. Just stop. You don't get to befoul the greatest generation by usurping their accomplishments," another commenter declared. "They were fighting you, vacuous imbecile."

This writer's perspective

The left figured out immediately after Trump's 2016 election that they could get away with street violence and destruction in most cases. Antifa was born from that realization and has flourished in left-wing cities like Portland and Seattle, as arrested thugs are often released with no bail. During last summer's rioting, woke celebrities and other left-wingers with deep pockets financed bailouts and legal defenses for many arrested militants across the country.

The gaslighting only grew from there, as leftist politicians like President Joe Biden repeated the false claim that Antifa isn't an organization but an idea. Democratic U.S. Rep. Jerry Nadler (N.Y.), chairman of House Judiciary Committee, said last summer that Antifa is a "myth." Nothing more than the left-wing playbook talking point that a Big Lie repeated often enough starts to become true.

But we have the receipts. Antifa militants are so convinced of their righteousness that they hide their identities behind masks and goggles as they wreak havoc on the streets. They plot to kill police. They intimidate people who take video of their lawlessness and order them to put their cellphone cameras away. Again, why? Especially when their cause is so apparently righteous?

They habitually attack victims from behind — and then run away. They do their fighting in groups and typically target one individual, or at best a much smaller group to ensure their tiny victories.

But when face to face with a larger group of opponents, they are rather easily defeated.

In short, Antifa militants are bullies — and when it comes down to it, sissies. The opposite of the Allies in World War 2.

Journalist Andy Ngo says he was attacked in Portland, releases bloody photos: 'Antifa tried to kill me'



Journalist Andy Ngo said he was recently chased and beaten in the streets of Portland while he was covering protests in Portland, Oregon.

"No journalist in America should ever face violence for doing his or her job," Ngo said in a statement released on Wednesday night. "Yet on Friday, May 28, Antifa tried to kill me again while I was reporting on the ongoing protests and riots in Portland, Ore. for a new chapter of my book, 'Unmasked: Inside Antifa's Radical Plan to Destroy Democracy.'"

"I was chased, attacked and beaten by a masked mob, baying for my blood," Ngo wrote on Twitter. "Had I not been able to shelter wounded and bleeding inside a hotel while they beat the doors and windows like animals, there is no doubt in my mind I would not be here today. Their words, like their actions, speak for themselves."

"Antifa wants me dead because I document what they want to stay hidden," he proclaimed. "The attacks against me and threats on my life are retribution for my work as a journalist, recording the tactics and true ideology of an extremist clandestine movement that relies on deception and regards the truth as the greatest threat of all."

"They want the right to hide their identities behind masks, and erase records of their arrests and alleged crimes," Ngo continued. "They want me dead for capturing these things and reporting on them. But it is the right of every journalist, protected and preserved by the founding fathers, to report freely without fear."

"When I engaged in field reporting for my book, I did what every beat reporter would do: I took care to mitigate the risks and went to observe Antifa first-hand during a demonstration at the Justice Center," the author said. "Like many other journalists Antifa has tried to silence and intimidate through violence and threats, I had to cover my face and eyes to do my job and stay alive. As the Asian son of Vietnamese immigrants, I also have to be mindful of Antifa's attacks on multiple people of East Asian origin."

According to Ngo, an Antifa member became suspicious of him because he wasn't engaging in criminal acts and throwing objects at police like the other members were. He began asking Ngo questions, but Andy did not respond. Ngo then walked away, but "a group of masked people in black followed and surrounded me."

"As they interrogated me, one managed to pull off my mask and immediately yelled, 'That's Andy. Get him! Get him!' As I sprinted through downtown Portland trying to flag down help, there was no visible police presence," Ngo claimed. "One of the black-clad Antifa members tackled me to the ground in front of Pioneer Place Mall, punching my head and face repeatedly, while I pleaded for them not to kill me. All the time I could hear the angry cries and footsteps of the mob approaching."

Ngo was allegedly able to escape and entered the Nines Hotel, but the staff asked him to leave because he wasn't wearing a mask. Ngo, editor at large at the Post Millennial, said he asked them to call 911, but they refused.

"By now, masked Antifa operatives were pounding on the hotel doors and windows, screaming and shouting my name and trying to break inside," he added.

Video from the Willamette Week shows angry people dressed in all black pounding on the front door of the Nines Hotel. The hostile black bloc-dressed group yell, "Nazi scum!" and they frantically scream, "Andy Ngo!"

The vitriolic crowd became so unruly that police were called to protect the hotel. Video shows a man screaming at a Portland police officer, accusing them of "protecting Andy Ngo."

Ngo was reportedly escorted out of the back entrance of the hotel by a medic from Portland Fire and Rescue and taken to the hospital by an ambulance.

"I was treated in the ER for multiple injuries to my head and body," he wrote on Twitter. Ngo shared bloody photos of his injuries, including wounds on his knee, hand, abdomen, and eye.

In June, Ngo was attacked during an Antifa protest in Portland. He was robbed and suffered a brain hemorrhage.

Ngo appeared on Fox News' "The Ingraham Angle" on Wednesday night, where he said that he notified law enforcement of the attack. He said that he has "not heard back from a detective at all." He noted that he had "more than two dozen reports to police of death threats, people showing up at my home."

"I call on the Portland Police and federal authorities to act on this before Antifa operatives hiding behind their masks succeed in murdering an American journalist on their watch," Ngo said. "And I call on journalists and all those who believe in the First Amendment to join me in standing against the tyranny of those who use violence to terrorize, silence and suppress the truth."

Video footage captures the moment man identified as Trump supporter pulls a gun on rock-throwing Antifa rioters who vandalized his truck, reportedly maced him



Authorities arrested a man — which several news outlets have reported is a Trump supporter — after he pulled a gun on a group of Antifa rioters who reportedly smashed his pickup truck's taillights, sprayed the windshield with paint, and maced him during a Salem, Oregon, riot on Sunday.

What happened on Sunday?

The clash was one of many that took place on Sunday near the state's capitol during a "freedom" rally, which was reportedly advertised as an event to "honor those who 'fought for our freedoms.'"

According to the Daily Mail, "Protesters on the sidewalks and in the street in Salem threw objects at a number of vehicles that drove by the Capitol with American flags."

What are the details of this incident?

As highlighted by the Daily Mail, video footage captured the moment a group of unruly rioters began spraying cans of paint across the windshield of a man's truck and smashing the lights on his vehicle.

The truck — outfitted with red and blue stripes — bore a sticker or large decal that read "Agent Orange Vietnam Victim." TMZ reported that the truck was also affixed with Trump stickers.

The man, who remains unidentified at the time of this reporting, could be seen in the video wearing an American flag sweatshirt that read "I stand for the flag, I kneel for the cross" as he stepped out of his vehicle to survey the damage the demonstrators inflicted on his vehicle. As he got out of the truck, he confronted the protesters gathered around his vehicle — and who promptly appeared to mace him.

He could be heard shouting, "Get away from me!" as he pulled out his gun and waved it toward the rioters.

(Content warning: Rough language):

The New York Post reported that as the mob "screamed about his loaded gun," an armed officer ran to the scene and directed him to get down the ground. The man immediately complied, and placed the gun in the back of his truck.

"F*** you, Proud Boy!" some in the mob could be heard screaming in the video as he lay on the ground. "You dumb mother****er!"

Protesters could be heard laughing and shouting as officers took the man into custody. According to the report, the man has not been charged at the time of this writing, and officials are still investigating the incident.

What else?

The Post reported that three other people were arrested in the day's protests.

From the Post:

Police said more than 100 left-wing protesters — many linked to the Youth Liberation Front — turned up to “prevent the Freedom Rally caravan" that was planning to meet at the Capitol. The mob is accused of damaging vehicles, including the alleged gunman's, which was covered in yellow spray paint and had its windows smashed.

Most were “wearing black clothing and ballistic vests and carrying firearms, bats, skateboards, umbrellas, shields and gas masks," police said.

“Soon after their arrival, the Salem Police department began to receive reports that individuals from the Court Street group were targeting vehicles driving by," the statement said.

“The victims reported their vehicles were damaged by paint-filled balloons, rocks and other hard objects being thrown at them as they passed," the force said — highlighting one that “sustained significant damage after a large tree limb was thrown through the front window."

Rep. Jim Jordan calls for hearings into Antifa violence, blasts Judiciary Chairman Nadler and Democrats for looking the other way



Republican members of the House Judiciary Committee, led by ranking member Jim Jordan (Ohio), are going after the committee's Democratic chairman for downplaying Antifa violence and are demanding that he call for hearings into the radical group's actions in cities across the U.S.

What's going on?

Far-left House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler has earned himself a reputation for minimizing the violent riots and chaos instigated by Antifa.

In June committee hearing, the New York Democrat declared Antifa to be "imaginary" as he accused Republican lawmakers of ignoring racial injustices and police reform and instead prioritizing "arrant nonsense."

"They couldn't utter the phrase 'black lives matter' and could barely [broach] the subject of police reform," Nadler said. "Instead, their amendments, I've given you about half of them, just listed here, were arrant nonsense, off-topic, dealing with imaginary things like Antifa and completely negating the entire purpose of the bill."

In June, Rep. Jordan went after Nadler on the House floor for his "ridiculous" comments and demonstrated the multiple errors in Nadler's declaration.

And in July, Nadler famously called the Antifa violence in Portland, Oregon, a "myth" — which led to an avalanche of mockery and derision directed toward the chairman.

The Judiciary Committee's GOP minority has had their fill of Nadler and his fellow Democratic leaders choosing to "look the other way" when it comes to Antifa's blatant disregard for the law and ongoing riots and violence.

In a letter to the chairman Tuesday, Jordan and fellow leading Judiciary Republican Reps. Ken Buck (Colo.), Jim Sensenbrenner (Wis.), and Mike Johnson (La.), demanded that Nadler and the Democratic majority stop downplaying Antifa's violence and to start holding hearings on the group's actions.

They also ripped the Democratic Party for tacitly encouraging violence in American cities — cities run and dominated by Democrats.

"Violent left-wing extremists are destroying Democrat-run American cities. As parts of these cities literally burn, prominent Democrat leaders look the other way on lawlessness and disorder," the letter began. "Even you, the chairman of the powerful Judiciary Committee with a unique platform to denounce left-wing violence, have trivialized it as 'imaginary' and a 'myth.'

"The Democrats' acceptance and tacit encouragement of violence has real consequences," Jordan et al continued. "It is beyond time that you forcefully denounce left-wing violent extremism and convene a Committee hearing to examine the civic unrest plaguing Democrat-run cities."

The letter went on to list examples of riots and chaos in Portland, Oregon; Seattle; Minneapolis; Kenosha, Wisconsin; and New York City. They also cited left-wingers in Washington, D.C., staging a mock execution of President Donald Trump and harassing people leaving the White House following the president's Aug. 27 Republican National Convention speech.

Then the Judiciary Republicans noted how Democrats' failures and calls for defunding the police have exacerbated the violence and riots:

Democrats have failed to stop the violence and destruction in these cities. Consistent with the Democrats' "defund the police" initiative, some Democrat-run major cities have reduced police budgets and local prosecutors have declined to enforce certain laws. Other prominent Democrats, like Senator Kamala Harris, have helped to raise bail money for criminals arrested in riots — money that was reportedly used to release an accused murderer, a convicted sex offender, and someone who shot at a police officer. When Attorney General William Barr urged the Committee to condemn mob violence and destruction of federal property at a recent hearing, not a single Democrat spoke up. Instead, you have minimized the violence in Democrat-run cities, calling the radical leftist group Antifa an "imaginary thing" and Antifa violence a "myth that's only being spread in Washington, D.C."

Jordan's letter concluded by noting that Nadler's 20 months as chairman have been "wasted" because of his apparent "obsession" with "partisan investigations" of President Trump. The lawmakers urged Nadler to instead focus on two actions to "restore law and order to Democrat-run American cities:

1. Publicly and forcefully denounce left-wing violent extremism and acknowledge that left-wing violence is neither "imaginary" nor a "myth."

2. Immediately convene a hearing of the Judiciary Committee to examine the civil unrest caused by left-wing violent extremists in Democrat-run cities. This is an issue of life and death that the Committee must not ignore.

So far, there has been no response from Nadler's office.

Wealthy NYC woman, 20, faces 4 years in prison for participating in Antifa-linked protest that caused $100K in damages: 'I don't want to talk about it'



A 20-year-old woman from a wealthy and successful family is now facing four years in prison after allegedly participating in a destructive three-hour rampage that caused an estimated $100,000 in damages during an Antifa-linked protest in New York City.

Clara Kraebber is an undergraduate student at Rice University, which has a tuition of nearly $70,000 and has an acceptance rate of 11%. Her father is a psychiatrist who teaches at the Columbia University Department of Psychiatry. Her mother is an architect at a prestigious Manhattan firm that has designed spaces for Columbia University and New York University.

The wealthy family owns a $1.8 million 16th-floor apartment in the Upper East Side, according to the New York Post. They also own a home in Litchfield County, Connecticut, that features four fireplaces.

On Friday, Kraebber was participating in an Antifa-linked protest in New York City. That's when Kraebber, along with other rioters dressed in all black, reportedly smashed windows of eight businesses in lower Manhattan, including a Starbucks, several banks, and a Duane Reade pharmacy. Three buildings were also vandalized with graffiti.

Kraebber was one of eight vandals who were arrested by police. The suspects face charges, including rioting and possession of graffiti instruments. One of the eight was also charged with two counts of criminal possession of a weapon, according to a police spokesperson. Kraebber was charged with first-degree rioting and is facing a maximum of four years in prison.

The suspects ranged between the ages of 19 and 30. Two of the people arrested were from out of state, one from Portland, Oregon, and the other from Iowa.

A law enforcement officer allegedly told the New York Post, "I wonder how her rich parents feel about their daughter. How would they feel if they graffitied their townhouse?"

"This girl should be the poster child for white privilege, growing up on the Upper East Side and another home in Connecticut," the anonymous source said. "This is the height of hypocrisy."

"It's disheartening," Jason Liang, a worker at the damaged Starbucks, told WNBC-TV. "You have the right to do whatever you want, but why do you have to hurt other people's property?"

Friday's protest was organized by the "New Afrikan Black Panther Party," a self-described "revolutionary faction under the ideology of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism," and the "Revolutionary Abolitionist Movement," that assists "revolutionaries, social centers, and antifa groups that are already active can help build greater infrastructure of resistance to support those fleeing the state."

The mob, dressed in all black, chanted, "Every city, every town, burn the precinct to the ground!" The demonstrators also carried banners that read: "Death to America" and "Free All Prisoners." According to police, the vandals spray-painted graffiti that said: "Abolition."

Kraebber is politically active, and has been participating in street protests since she was 14 years old. She marched in a Manhattan rally for shooting victim Michael Brown in 2014, who was shot by a police Officer Darren Wilson in Ferguson, Missouri.

"We don't have much political power right now, being youths, but this is something we can do," she told The New York Times at the time.

Kraebber was a member of the Rice Young Democrats, where she worked on Beto O'Rourke's 2018 Senate campaign that was unsuccessful in unseating Ted Cruz (R-Texas).

"Does Beto make you feel this way too??? THEN GO VOTE!!!" she wrote on Facebook.

The New York Post contacted Kraebber by phone at her second home in Connecticut on Friday night, which she said, "No — not right now — I don't want to talk about it," regarding her arrest.
