When even Lancaster County flips, no district is safe



On the evening of March 25, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, experienced what many described as a political “stunner.” In a heavily Republican district — the 36th — Democrats pulled off an unexpected upset in a special state Senate election.

Josh Parsons, the Republican chairman of the Lancaster County Commission, lost by 482 votes to James Malone, the Democratic mayor of East Petersburg. Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, a reliably partisan Democrat, quickly congratulated Malone and praised the victory as a blow to “the extremism coming from D.C.” There’s little doubt Malone will vote in lockstep with Shapiro’s agenda.

The reality on the ground often looks very different from the national mood captured in polling data.

This result didn’t happen in a swing district. Lancaster County gave Donald Trump a 15-point margin in 2020 and has consistently voted Republican since before the Civil War. Since moving here more than 30 years ago, I’ve watched every state senator and nearly every county official win as a Republican. The same goes for our congressional representation.

Parsons’ predecessor, state Sen. Ryan Aument, regularly defeated Democrats by more than 2 to 1. In last week’s election, Libertarian candidate Zachary Moore claimed 480 votes — most of which likely would have gone to Parsons. But even with those votes, it’s unclear whether Parsons would have pulled off a win. And even if he had, a narrow victory would still fall far short of the GOP’s long-standing dominance in this district.

Democrats won in Lancaster County by mobilizing their strongest voting blocs — including a near-monopoly on college-educated white women and virtually all black women. Their state party also benefited from a flood of money provided by the usual group of culturally radical plutocrats.

Only 29% of registered voters in Lancaster County turned out last Tuesday. But Democrats ensured their supporters showed up.

I’ll be blunt: I find the happy talk on Fox News tiresome — the claims that Democrats are in decline and doomed to lose every major race outside deep-blue states until the end of time. If I were a betting man, I’d back the Democrats in any race where the parties are supposedly even.

Republicans may face another uphill battle in the upcoming Wisconsin Supreme Court race on April 1. That contest features Susan Crawford, a very progressive district judge from Dane County, against Brad Schimel, a conservative Milwaukee-area judge.

Despite Republican hopes, Crawford’s left-wing record draws major financial support from donors like Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, George Soros, and the usual crowd from Wall Street and Hollywood. So far, Democrats have raised more than double what Schimel has. Crawford has also built an army of volunteer campaigners from her left-wing base.

Many prominent GOP figures remain overly confident about their party’s electoral chances, but they often misread the data. They place too much stock in the Democratic Party’s low national poll numbers, failing to grasp that these figures don’t necessarily predict outcomes in specific races.

Democrats consistently energize their base by championing progressive cultural positions and railing against phony “fascism” and fictitious “Nazis.” This rhetoric motivates activists, who eagerly contribute time and money to causes they view as morally urgent. While outlets like the Washington Examiner lament “the toxicity” of Democratic rhetoric, voters on the left often find this language empowering. Just because conservatives recoil at inflammatory attacks from lawmakers like Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) and Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) doesn’t mean their base does.

The Democratic Party may hold just 29% approval nationally, but it maintains powerful institutional support, including public-sector unions and deep-pocketed donors. When government bureaucrats or teachers’ unions believe Donald Trump, Elon Musk, or other fiscal conservatives threaten their funding, they spring into action to protect their interests. These permanent-state allies don’t need high approval ratings — they need motivation, and they have it.

Low polling numbers alone won’t stop Democrats from flipping deeply red districts if they outspend Republicans by large margins and mobilize zealous volunteers. The reality on the ground often looks very different from the national mood captured in polling data.

In my own reliably Republican district, the national unpopularity of Democrats didn’t stop a surprise upset. What should have been a GOP lock turned into a “stunner” — and a warning.

Maxine Waters questions Melania Trump's legal status in bizarre attack



California Rep. Maxine Waters (D) suggested Saturday during an anti-Trump administration rally in Los Angeles that first lady Melania Trump is in the country illegally.

It appears that the 86-year-old Democrat's failed attempt at a mic-drop moment was the product not only of decrepitude and hypocrisy but of a gross misapprehension of key facts.

On his first day in office, President Donald Trump signed an executive order to end birthright citizenship for children of illegal aliens. Trump noted in the order that "the privilege of United States citizenship does not automatically extend to persons born in the United States" if those individuals' parents were illegally in the country or not lawful permanent residents at the time of their birth.

Multiple federal judges blocked the order, and multiple appeals courts have refused to overturn those injunctions. The matter will soon be settled by the U.S. Supreme Court.

In the meantime, leftists, both foreign and domestic, have complained about the distinct possibility that illegal aliens' anchor babies won't always be conferred citizenship.

During a protest over the weekend, Waters broached the issue, reportedly stating, "When [Trump] talks about birthright, and he's going to undo the fact that the Constitution allows those who are born here, even if the parents are undocumented, they have a right to stay in America."

"If he wants to start looking so closely to find those who were born here and their parents were undocumented, maybe he ought to first look at Melania," added Waters. "We don't know whether or not her parents were documented. And maybe we better just take a look."

'The 14th Amendment doesn't say that all persons born in the US are citizens.'

Contrary to Waters' insinuation, Melania Trump was not born in the United States, and neither Mrs. Trump nor her parents entered the country illegally.

Melania Trump, born in the former Yugoslavia, informed the Associated Press via an attorney in 2016 that she legally came to the United States from Slovenia on Aug. 27, 1996, on a B1/B2 visitor visa. Mrs. Trump subsequently obtained an H-1B work visa then an EB-1 "Einstein Visa."

The future first lady, who appeared on the cover of British GQ in 2000, received a green card in March 2001 and became an American citizen in 2006.

Viktor and Amalija Knavs, the first lady's parents, similarly took the legal path to American citizenship. After living on green cards sponsored by Mrs. Trump, the first lady's Slovenian parents became citizens in 2018.

Waters asserted as a fact that the Constitution grants illegal aliens' children a right to remain in America. The nation's top court will decide if the congresswoman is wrong on this matter, as well.

Hans von Spakovsky, senior legal fellow at the Heritage Foundation and former Department of Justice lawyer, previously noted that the claim anyone born in the U.S. has citizenship automatically, even if their parents are here illegally, "ignores the text and legislative history of the 14th Amendment, which was ratified in 1868 to extend citizenship to freed slaves and their children."

"The 14th Amendment doesn't say that all persons born in the U.S. are citizens," continued von Spakovsky. "It says that '[a]ll persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof' are citizens. That second, critical, conditional phrase is conveniently ignored or misinterpreted by advocates of 'birthright' citizenship."

"Critics erroneously believe that anyone present in the United States has 'subjected' himself 'to the jurisdiction' of the United States, which would extend citizenship to the children of tourists, diplomats, and illegal aliens alike," added the legal fellow. "But that is not what that qualifying phrase means. Its original meaning refers to the political allegiance of an individual and the jurisdiction that a foreign government has over that individual."

Maxine Waters Urges Democrats To 'Hit the Streets' and 'Fight Back' Against Trump

Rep. Maxine Waters (D., Calif.) is calling on fellow Democrats to "hit the streets" to "influence the courts" in the party's fight against President Donald Trump.

The REAL reason Democrats are TERRIFIED of Elon Musk and DOGE



Democrats are furious that President Trump is trusting Elon Musk with so much, repeatedly calling him an “unelected billionaire” — but Glenn Beck of “The Glenn Beck Program” believes their criticism is less about Elon and more about themselves.

And Trump is only proving Glenn’s point.

“He’s not gaining anything,” Trump said in an interview with Bret Baier on Fox News. “In fact, I wonder how he can devote the time to it. He’s so into it. But I told him ‘do that,’ then I’m going to tell him very soon, like maybe in 24 hours, to go check the Department of Education.”

“He’s going to find the same thing. Then I’m going to go to the military. Let’s check the military. We’re going to find billions, hundreds of billions of dollars of fraud and abuse. And you know, the people elected me on that,” he added.


“He’s absolutely right about this,” Glenn says. “First of all, ‘He’s an unelected bureaucrat.’ Well, almost all bureaucrats are. I don’t know if you follow that, but you know, the treasury secretary is also somebody who wasn’t voted in.”

Meanwhile, the Democrats are still raging about Elon exposing USAID — which isn’t even an aid program.

“We have aid agencies; that’s not one of them. This is soft power, and quite honestly, it has from the beginning been a CIA operation,” Glenn says. “I’m not against aid; I’m against corruption, and I’m also against a lot of this soft power being done that nobody knows about.”

“Why are we just finding out about this stuff, and what are we going to find in the Pentagon?” he asks, adding, “We are going to find really bad stuff in the Pentagon.”

Pat Gray agrees, noting that regarding USAID, the entire idea of a government agency helping the less fortunate was insane in the first place.

“It’s not government agencies that should be doing this; it is individuals who are tasked with charity and helping others. We’re the ones,” Gray says. “Once you’re forced into it, it’s not charity.”

But the Democrats don’t see it the same way, as some of them, like Rep. Maxine Waters, have begun protesting at places like the Department of Education — and verbally accosting the security personnel.

“It’s quite amazing how these people are so freaked out. They’ve got to cover their tracks. I’m convinced that’s what it is,” Glenn says.

Trump won, but Dems still control the bureaucracy — for now



Have the Democrats dug a hole for themselves? The answer is an unequivocal yes.

Although Donald Trump won the presidential race by about two million votes and the GOP retook the Senate by a majority of three, the Democrats were hardly crushed in the November election. Three of their outspoken feminist candidates won senatorial races in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Nevada, partly by outspending very solid Republican opponents. Thanks to coastal elites, the Democrats enjoyed a sizable ad advantage over Republicans by Election Day last year; and a less-than-impressive Democratic presidential candidate spent her way through more than $1 billion that Democratic donors showered on her.

Today’s woke Democrats belong to a party that directly serves their interests. The question is whether that party can build a broad enough coalition to reclaim a national majority.

The legacy media, most educational institutions, and a majority of government bureaucrats stand solidly behind the Democratic Party. Trump’s decision to slim down the size of our managerial state has caused panic among Democrats, precisely because public administration has been an inexhaustible source of employment and financial benefit for their loyalists. But the Democrats continue to occupy almost all of this empire.

Unfortunately, Democratic politicians have not been able to accept the loss of the presidency with equanimity. They’ve gone berserk and for understandable reasons. They’ve waged war on the current president for the last eight years and have thrown so much ammunition at him that it must have dawned on them that Trump would not leave his enemies in charge if he won.

Democrats have used every tool at their disposal to undermine the current president. They have engaged in lawfare, weaponized the FBI and the Department of Justice against him, tried to remove his name from ballots, attempted to imprison him, and even incited would-be assassins. After such relentless attacks, expecting Trump not to retaliate in some way would require near-saintly restraint.

To their detriment, Democrats continue waging old battles in ways that have damaged their own standing. They have obstructed efforts to deport criminal illegal immigrants, defended sex-change surgeries for minors, fought to preserve costly government bureaucracies that align with their ideological interests, and tacitly encouraged anti-Trump riots. None of these actions have won them new supporters. At this point, their public approval has shrunk to 31%.

Democrats have also resorted to clumsy, staged demonstrations, with their most prominent figures decrying Elon Musk’s influence over the Republican administration. They claim Trump is acting “unconstitutionally” by laying off overwhelmingly Democratic government workers while supposedly taking orders from Musk. Yet, it remains unclear why Trump must seek approval from Chuck Schumer and Maxine Waters before following the advice of his own people. And why is it acceptable for Democratic presidents — but not Republican ones — to rely on unelected advisers?

Let’s try to make sense of what the Democrats are doing. In blue states, voters consistently elect leftist governments. Governors such as J.B. Pritzker in Illinois, Gavin Newsom in California, Kathy Hochul in New York, Phil Murphy in New Jersey, Maura Healey in Massachusetts, Gretchen Whitmer in Michigan, and Tim Walz in Minnesota win with little difficulty, often while relying on anti-Trump rhetoric.

The Democrats’ base also includes wealthy donors who align with the party’s radical core. Meanwhile, legacy media eagerly amplifies the party’s anti-Trump messaging, adding its own attacks. Since 2016, mainstream outlets have built an audience around cultivating anti-Trump sentiment.

But this strategy does not seem to resonate with most Americans. Many are increasingly alarmed by the millions of illegal aliens the Democrats have welcomed into the country, now widely seen as both a safety risk and a financial burden. Pritzker, Healey, and other left-wing governors have further weakened their party’s standing by openly supporting illegal immigrants who have committed violent crimes.

Democrats and their media allies have also doubled down on unpopular policies like DEI mandates, “gender-affirming” surgeries for minors, and the costly Green New Deal. These stances have driven down the party’s appeal nationally, and even in deep-blue regions, support for these policies appears to be waning — though not yet enough to break the Democrats’ grip on those areas.

Perhaps most importantly, Democrats have reshaped themselves over the past generation into a culturally leftist party. Their core constituency now consists of racial minorities, college-educated women, government employees, and nonprofit organizations. Calls for the party to return to its working-class roots are unlikely to succeed.

Across the Western world, non-public-sector workers have aligned with the populist right, while the cultural left has gained support from global financial elites, government bureaucrats, Third World migrants, and activists opposed to traditional gender roles and the nuclear family.

Today’s woke Democrats belong to a party that directly serves their interests. The real question is whether that party can build a broad enough coalition to reclaim a national majority.

WATCH: Dems Harass Federal ‘Security Guard’ Posted Outside of Education Department: ‘Gimme That ID Again!’

Democrats surrounded and harassed a stoic federal security guard blocking the Department of Education building as they demanded to be let into the building Friday morning.

Democrats howl, make scene outside Department of Education as political theatrics continue



Congressional Democrats continued their performative outrage on Friday, making a scene outside the Department of Education building after they were denied entry.

A group of about 30 Democrat representatives from around the country traveled en masse to the Department of Education building in Washington, D.C., demanding to be allowed in to meet with acting Education Secretary Denise Carter. They then caterwauled and continuously badgered a member of the security staff when he refused that demand.

"Look them in the eye!" Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) ordered the security guard. "Come on. Hold your face up. Look out. Let them see you. This is him!"

Waters, who has previously characterized voter ID requirements as racist, then hounded the security guard to provide identification that he had already shown her. "What's your name? Tell us your name. Give me that ID again," she commanded.

When he declined, repeatedly noting that he'd already furnished her with his ID, she then called on her colleagues to "ask him for the ID."

"He won't let me see it again," she huffed.

— (@)

Fellow California Democrat Rep. Lateefah Simon likewise fell into histrionics, looking directly into a news camera and suggesting that the safety of vulnerable schoolchildren across the country depended largely on Democrat access to the building. "You voted for members of Congress to advocate on behalf of your children," she claimed, "children with disabilities, for young women who have been victims of sexual assault in our classrooms."

"Access is being denied!"

— (@)

Just four and a half years ago, strong Democrat ally Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers, promised "protests," "grievances or lawsuits," and even "safety strikes" to keep schools closed in fall 2020, claiming that Trump, then in his first term, had "insufficient" safety measures in place to guard against COVID. In other words, back then, Weingarten effectively wanted schoolchildren to be denied access to their education buildings.

The theatrical stunt at the D.C. education building comes a day after House and Senate Democrats issued a letter to acting Secretary Carter, bewailing the spending cuts at the Department of Education and elsewhere already initiated by Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency.

"Over the course of two weeks, the Trump Administration issued sweeping executive orders and sought to broadly and illegally freeze federal financial assistance. Federal employees have been targeted, in some cases for simply following the law," Dems wrote.

"Elon Musk is attempting to shut down the work of entire agencies while gaining access to some of the federal government’s most far reaching and sensitive data systems."

The Democrats' performative outrage outside the Department of Education is the fourth such stunt they've pulled this week. They engaged in similar theatrics outside the U.S. Agency for International Development on Monday, the Treasury Department on Tuesday, and the Environmental Protection Agency on Thursday.

The Department of Education did not respond to a request for comment from Axios. Trump has nominated Linda McMahon of WWE fame to be the next secretary of education.

Democrats Break With Decades-Long Tradition Of Denying Elections To Certify Electoral College For Trump

The last time Democrats did not challenge the results of a GOP presidential victory was at the certification of George H.W. Bush's win in 1988.

Blaze News original: Think leftists are one big happy family? Check out when they get violent and destructive with their own.



Don't for a minute believe that leftists are all part of one big happy family. Plenty of factors would seem to prevent such broad acceptance.

For starters, you might not sit far enough left on the left-wing sociopolitical scale for some radicals — in which case, you're on the outs. Like one tidbit below describing Joe Biden supporters who thought they'd escape the wrath of Black Lives Matter protesters on the night of the 2020 election. They quickly thought again.

Case in point was a man who stood on his porch and hollered at the protesters, 'There's my Biden sign! Don't destroy anything! Be peaceful!'

Or the anarchists you also can read about below who spray-painted walls with 'F*** Biden,' 'No Presidents' messages and busted windows at a Democrat headquarters after Biden won the 2020 election. What do we need to do to keep them happy?

You can't even be a 60-year-old "gay progressive" state senator and walk George Floyd riots without getting beaten up by violent, radical leftists. That tale is below as well.

No one will soon forget when left-wing high priestess Maxine Waters risked inciting violence when she publicly told her radical left disciples to "create a crowd" and "push back on" their political enemies and tell them "they're not welcome any more, anywhere!" Well, check out in the forthcoming vignettes when Maxine admitted she doesn't like it when such leftist tactics are used on her. She even brought race into it.

And can you imagine a majority white Black Lives Matter group getting caught on video actually preventing a black woman from driving past their blockade? Imagine no more.

One big happy family? Not on your life.

Leftist protesters beat up 60-year-old 'gay progressive' state senator — after which victim says, 'Sad thing I'm on their side'


Protesters outside the Wisconsin Capitol in Madison smashed windows at the statehouse, tore down statues, and beat up Democratic state Sen. Tim Carpenter, who was observing them overnight June 23, 2020, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported.

Carpenter, 60, told the Washington Post the violence "has got to stop before someone gets killed. Sad thing I'm on their side for peaceful demonstrations — am a Gay Progressive Dem Senator served 36 years in the legislature."

He also posted video showing protesters charging at him — after which WKOW-TV staffer Lance Vesser added a post noting that Carpenter said he was assaulted and then collapsed.

Carpenter said video he was recording "got me assaulted & beat up. Punched/kicked in the head, neck, ribs. Maybe concussion, socked in left eye is little blurry, sore neck & ribs. 8-10 people attacked me. Innocent people are going to get killed. Capitol locked — stuck in office. Stop violence now Plz!"

The caption from another social media photo noted that Carpenter "was just punched in the face by Madison protesters because he was filming. Several people attacked him."

The Journal Sentinel's Lawrence Andrea reported that protesters said Carpenter "provoked them."

Biden supporters on election night assume they'll escape the wrath of Black Lives Matter violence. Think again, kids.


Video posted by conservative journalist Andy Ngo revealed some cognitively dissonant moments on the night of the 2020 election when hundreds of protesters shut down the streets of southeast Portland and confronted residents — even if they supported Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.

Case in point was a man who stood on his porch and hollered at the protesters, "There's my Biden sign! Don't destroy anything! Be peaceful!"

But the guy's supposed sociopolitical teammates weren't having any of it.

"No one cares about your white-ass opinion!" one woman began yelling back at him. "Who do you think you are telling black people how to protest? You f***ing white-ass privilege old man!"

Another leftist female hollered, "Asking for people to be peaceful is white supremacy!"

It didn't get any better when the man left the relative safety of his porch and spoke to the protesters up close and personal.

But one leftist told him, "You just came out to instigate violence!"

Then a woman got in the man's face and told him, "At this point you're distracting the movement, so go the f*** home!"

In a separate scene, another man made the mistake of yelling at protesters, "Dude, I'm on your f***ing side!" Because with that, a woman screamed back at him, "No, you're not! No, you're f***ing not!"

Check out the mind-bending video here.

Remember when leftist Maxine Waters urged fellow radicals to harass those who disagree with them politically and get in their faces? Well, she's not too happy when tables are turned on her.


Who can forget U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) getting captured on video urging fellow radicals to harass and get in the faces of those who disagree politically with them?

"Let's make sure we show up wherever we have to show up, and if you see anybody from [President Donald Trump's] Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd and you push back on them, and you tell them they're not welcome any more, anywhere!" she infamously howled in public.

Well, a video excerpt of an undated interview with Waters shows her indicating that such harassment is unacceptable if directed her way. She complained about an instance during which someone confronted her in a restaurant — and Waters said that showed a "racist attitude."

"They don't say racist things, but what they say is they don't like something I said. They don't like a position that I took," she said, adding that "if you were not black, you would not be approached that way."

Multitudes of commentators mocked Waters' remarks online, many quoting back her apparent incitements to violence, which were not limited to the Democrat's 2018 remarks.

Anarchists spray-paint walls with 'F*** Biden,' 'No Presidents' messages, bust windows at Democrat HQ after Biden wins election


Just hours after most mainstream media outlets declared Democratic nominee Joe Biden the winner of the 2020 election over President Donald Trump on Nov. 7, Biden's supposed leftist comrades in Portland, Oregon, weren't celebrating victory.

Instead they busted windows at the Multnomah County Democrats' building and spray-painted messages such as "F*** Biden" and "No Presidents" — along with the universal symbol of anarchists.

Police arrested three suspects in the aftermath of the vandalism, KATU-TV reported:

  • Maximillian Jennings, 22, was booked on first-degree criminal mischief;
  • Thomas Mollrocek, 33, was booked on second-degree criminal mischief and third-degree escape;
  • James Walker Prettyman, 24, was booked on second-degree criminal mischief, the station said.

All three were booked into jail, KATU reported.

Police said demonstrators gathered outside the building and reportedly started tagging it and shattering windows, the station reported, adding that officers moved in and made targeted arrests of those who allegedly were part of the vandalism. You can check out a clip here showing the aftermath.

The anti-Biden sentiment among leftists was evident in Washington, D.C., as well, as black-clad demonstrators marched toward Black Lives Matter Plaza and chanted, "What do we want? Justice! When do we want it? Now! If we don't get it — Burn it down! BURN. IT. DOWN!" along with, "F*** Trump! F*** Biden! No more presidents!"

In Detroit, one leftist group wasn't too thrilled with Biden, either, and chanted, "F*** Donald Trump! F*** Biden too! Both of them don't give a f*** about you!"

Far-left actor Michael Rapaport's support for Israel prompts Antifa to violently protest his comedy shows


In January, dozens of far-left, violent Antifa agitators shouted expletives and fired off explosives outside a comedy club in Portland, Oregon, to express their outrage that the establishment dared to allow far-left actor Michael Rapaport — who supports Israel — onstage.

On the night of Jan. 12, with temperatures well below freezing, Antifa protesters gathered outside Helium Comedy Club, where Rapaport was scheduled to perform five shows over two days.

According to videos shared by Andy Ngo, a journalist who has been covering Antifa's violent antics for years, a line of police officers protected the club's perimeter as protesters attempted to intimidate those trying to get inside, even going so far as to hurl fireworks at the building to make their outrage felt.

While firing off explosives and harassing club-goers, the leftist protesters also shouted various anti-Semitic chants, such as "[From the river to the sea,] Palestine will be free." They also yelled, "F*** Michael Rapaport" and warned him to get "out of Portland." Despite the threats, Helium hosted all of Rapaport's shows as scheduled.

While Rapaport's history of unhinged social media tirades against former President Donald Trump would seem to put him in the far left's good graces, his unfettered support for Israel since the Hamas attacks on Oct. 7, 2023, has instead made him persona non grata for many in Portland.

Tyrone Collins, co-founder of the NW Black Comedy Festival, was one of many "local comedians" and other "activists" who recently called for Helium to cancel Rapaport's shows, according to the Portland Mercury.

"Some of the things he's posted on his social media — it's been hateful. For some reason, Helium just tells us it's OK to back this man and the hateful things he's spewing," Collins said. "They have no idea what he's gonna get up there and say, you know, and they're willing to take that chance. It's just — it's not a good look."

Reese Hendrik of local comedy blog LaughsPDX chimed in as well. "Given recent commentary from Mr. Rapaport about the ongoing violence in Gaza, we do not support the platform being provided for him," wrote Hendrink, who is Jewish. "While it is not our place to police the scene or individual clubs, we find it necessary to voice our stance and solidarity with the Palestinian people."

White BLM protesters actually block black woman from driving through street. It gets ugly fast.


A video recorded on Sept. 7, 2020, shows a group of white BLM protesters defiantly standing in front of a truck in — where else? — Portland, Oregon. Not an unfamiliar scene by any stretch. But this time, the Black Lives Matter militants were blocking a black woman.

"Get out of the way!" the motorist hollers at them. "Because you killed my brother, move!" The clip doesn't shed light on the claim, but it sure demonstrates her adversaries' collective ignorance.

Defiant voices shoot right back at her. "You're gonna go backward!" one barks. "Turn around!" another yells.

She blasts them again: 'You're setting fires in the streets? No, that's violence! That's violent! Get out of my way!"

"I think you don't know what you're talking about!" a male voice can be heard arguing back with her.

Soon the woman challenges the protesters: "Get your ass away from here! ... Now they see how ignorant this looks. ... You don't want no race war out here!"

A black man who's with the leftists moves in and appears to try to calm the situation as the motorist accuses someone in the group of calling her the N-word — which they deny. "Stop pushing us with your car!" one male hollers at her as they place their bodies in front of the truck's bumper. The furious woman then exits her truck and gives the ignorant leftists a wake-up call: "If I was pushing you with my car, you'd be rammed the f*** over!"

At this point, the black man who's with the leftists orders his comrades to shut up and move: "We need to get this woman out of here safely!"

Trump Assassination Attempts Are The Logical Result Of The Left’s Marxist ‘Oppression’ Narrative

Despite a second assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump in two months, Democrats refuse to relinquish their extremist rhetoric. This inciting rhetoric persists because a fixation on violence pervades the left. More than a political strategy, Democrats’ extremist rhetoric is the product of the leftist ideologies that now rule them. President Joe Biden kicked […]
