Leftist group that doxxed Kavanaugh plans another protest at his home after would-be assassin arrested there



Ruth Sent Us, the radical left-wing group that posted the home addresses of six Supreme Court justices online last month, is planning to stage a protest outside Justice Brett Kavanaugh's home Wednesday evening, hours after an armed man was arrested there for allegedly threatening to kill Kavanaugh.

Early Wednesday morning, police took an armed suspect into custody outside Kavanaugh's home in Montgomery County, Maryland. The suspect had allegedly called emergency dispatchers and said he intended to murder the justice and then kill himself.

FBI Special Agent Ian Montijo filed an affidavit in court that said the suspect, Nicholas John Roske of California, told police he was upset with the leaked draft Supreme Court opinion that indicated the court would overturn its abortion precedents and believed Kavanaugh would also vote to loosen gun control laws after the recent mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas. Roske allegedly found Kavanaugh's address online, bought a Glock pistol, and traveled to Maryland intending to kill him. He has been charged with attempted murder of a U.S. Supreme Court justice.

The private home addresses of six Supreme Court justices, including Kavanaugh's, were posted online by Ruth Sent Us in May after a draft majority opinion for Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization was leaked to Politico. The draft document, authored by Justice Samuel Alito, explained the court's reasoning for upholding Mississippi's 15-week abortion ban and overturning its precedent in Roe v. Wade.

Though there is not yet an official decision by the court, pro-abortion rights activists seethed and began possibly illegal demonstrations against the impending decision outside the private homes of the Republican-appointed justices.

When the Washington Post broke the news Wednesday that an armed suspect making threats against Kavanaugh's life was arrested outside his home, Ruth Sent Us downplayed the incident on Twitter and denied reports that the suspect was carrying a gun and a knife.

"We are committed to non-violence. Fundamentalists will talk non-stop about how our peaceful protests inspired this, rather than the daily mass-murders in America," the group tweeted. "Oh, what was this 'weapon' the 'California man' had? If it was a gun or even a knife, police would say so."

\u201cWe are committed to non-violence. \n\nFundamentalists will talk non-stop about how our peaceful protests inspired this, rather than the daily mass-murders in America. \ud83d\ude0f\n\nOh, what was this \u201cweapon\u201d the \u201cCalifornia man\u201d had? If it was a gun or even a knife, police would say so. \ud83d\ude0f\u201d

The FBI affidavit confirmed that the suspect, Roske, had a tactical knife and a Glock 17 pistol with ammunition in his possession when he was taken into custody. He was also carrying pepper spray, zip ties, a hammer, screwdriver, nail punch, crow bar, pistol light, duct tape, hiking boots with padding on the outside of the soles, among other items, the FBI said.

When a Twitter user responded to Ruth Sent Us and said the group's tweet "will not age well," the left-wing activists asserted "Yes, it will," and said, "We're protesting peacefully at his home again tonight."

\u201c@mprussart Yes, it will. We\u2019re protesting peacefully at his home again tonight.\u201d

Subsequent tweets by Ruth Sent Us announced that the group intends to participate in protests outside of Kavanaugh's and Chief Justice John Roberts' homes in Chevy Chase, Md. Wednesday night.

"We offer our thoughts & prayers to Brett & Ashley Kavanaugh after a California man arrived by taxi near their home, armed with a gun & knife, then called the police on himself to confess his murderous rage against the abusive alcoholic 'Justice'," the group mockingly tweeted. "We didn't send him."

According to another leftist activist group, Downright Impolite, the demonstrations will begin at 7 p.m. ET.

\u201cTonight we peacefully (different than quietly \ud83e\udd23) rise together to say, \u201cNot today, Fascists!\u201d You in?!\n\n@ShutDown_DC @OurRightsDC @RuthSentUs @riseup4abortion #SCOTUSisCompromised #pridemonth2022 #Protest #Women #LGBT #WearOrange\u201d

Republican lawmakers responded to the alleged threat against Kavanaugh by calling on the Democratic House majority to pass a bill providing additional security measures for Supreme Court justices.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) railed against House Democrats on the Senate floor Wednesday for blocking the bill — which passed unanimously in the Senate.

"House Democrats need to stop their multi-week blockade against the Supreme Court security bill and pass it before the sun sets today," he said.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security warned in May that political violence directed at the court and its justices is "likely to persist and may increase leading up to and following the issuing of the Court's official ruling" on abortion.

John Rich savages fellow country music stars kowtowing to leftist ideology with silence following 'woke' CMT Music Awards show



Country music star John Rich launched into a diatribe against his fellow country artists on Thursday, tearing into them for what he said was silence when it came to speaking up for their values.

In the tweet, he appeared to suggest that leftist ideologies were infiltrating the industry, and complicit country music singers were more apt to keep their mouths closed — perhaps out of fear of cancellation — thus allowing liberals to steamroll what they care about into the ground.

Rich made the remarks just one day after Wednesday night's 2021 CMT Music Awards, which Rolling Stone praised for what it suggested was the annual show's newfound "wokeness."

What are the details?

In the Thursday morning tweet, the outspoken country star wrote, "There are many conservative country music singers that just won't say anything to push back against the ideologies that aim to erase what they care about. Why? You know why. I hope soon we see them start to speak up. The country music industry is out of touch with the audience."

What happened Wednesday night?

According to Rolling Stone, the CMT Music Awards had five defining moments that detailed how "the show woke up."

Rolling Stone's Jon Freeman and Joseph Hudak began the lengthy article, "The producers of the 2021 CMT Music Awards were clearly paying attention. After a year-plus national conversation about equity, diversity, and, yes, racism, Wednesday night's CMT Awards made a clear attempt to be inclusive, devoting airtime to artists and personalities of color."

They continued, "While we would have liked to have seen the CMTs acknowledge June as LGBTQ Pride Month (especially after former CMT Awards host Kid Rock doubled down on a homophobic slur on Twitter a few hours earlier), the production was an admirable step forward in country music's ongoing evolution."

Several moments of diversity that caught their attention, Freeman and Hudak added, included Gladys Knight's performance with Breland and Mickey Guyton to cover "Friendship Train," which the pair said "has a stirring message of unity for a world about to go up in flames."

"Somehow, it's a message that — no offense — just hits different when it's not coming from Tim McGraw and Tyler Hubbard," the article added.

Freeman and Hudak also lauded the show for naming Linda Martell with CMT's Equal Play Award "owing to her status as the lone black woman to have charted a solo single inside the country Top 20."

"[I]t was the presentation of Video of the Year that best illustrated how CMT is reading the room and looking forward," Freeman and Hudak noted. "Anthony Mackie, the black 'Captain America' star of Disney's 'The Falcon and the Winter Soldier,' made his CMT Awards debut to give the trophy to winners Carrie Underwood and John Legend — TV's biggest superhero handing out the night's biggest award."

What else?

Rich's remarks also come just a week after CMT fans threatened a boycott of the network after it urged viewers to support a Michael Bloomberg-backed gun control initiative from Everytown for Gun Safety.

The network tweeted its support of the movement last week, writing, "We're (virtually) wearing orange today in support [sic] National Gun Violence Awareness Day and to call attention to more than 100 lives that are lost every day to gun violence. #WearOrange and visit rearrange.org for more."

The tweet was not well received for many fans, and one user blasted the comment as "anti-gun propaganda disguised as virtue."

"CMT has gone down the train with all other corporations who sell out to Woke extremists," the user added.

Another Twitter user noted, "I for one, will not ever watch any station who champions any campaign against the 2nd Amendment, which is what CMT just did. You'd think they would know their audiance [sic], but you put woke idiots in charge, and you get stupidity."

Yet another critic complained, "@CMT and @NASCAR have both forgotten who their core audience is again I see."

Fans boycott CMT after it urges viewers to wear orange to support Bloomberg-backed gun control: ‘Anti-gun propaganda disguised as virtue’



Social media users are vowing to stop watching CMT after it urged viewers to "Wear Orange" to support National Gun Violence Awareness Day.

The ViacomCBS-owned network tweeted its plea on Friday, ahead of Wednesday's annual CMT Music Awards in Nashville.

What are the details?

"Wear Orange," an initiative from Everytown for Gun Safety — which is backed by former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg — was set in motion after the 2013 shooting death of a Chicago 15-year-old.

According to the organization's website, "Orange is the color that Hadiya Pendleton's friends wore in her honor when she was shot and killed in Chicago at the age of 15 — just one week after performing at President Obama's 2nd inaugural parade in 2013."

"After her death, they asked us to stand up, speak out, and Wear Orange to raise awareness about gun violence," the organization wrote in its mission statement.

More from the site:

Since then orange has been the defining color of the gun violence prevention movement. New York gun violence prevention advocate Erica Ford spearheaded orange as the color of peace through her work with her organization, Life Camp, Inc. Whether it's worn by students in Montana, activists in New York, or Hadiya's loved ones in Chicago, the color orange honors the more than 100 lives cut short and the hundreds more wounded by gun violence everyday.

Our movement gains momentum when gun sense activists come together to fight for a future free from gun violence. Wear Orange originated on June 2, 2015—what would have been Hadiya's 18th birthday. Now, it is observed nationally on the first Friday in June and the following weekend each year. This year, National Gun Violence Awareness Day will be June 4, 2021.

Wear Orange Weekend is an opportunity for us to show the country just how powerful we are. But the work doesn't end there. Everytown and our partner organizations continue to do life-saving work so that we can get closer to realizing a future free from gun violence. We wear orange to be seen, and demand that we be heard. Support us by going orange.

On Friday, CMT tweeted its support of the movement, writing, "We're (virtually) wearing orange today in support [sic] National Gun Violence Awareness Day and to call attention to the more than 100 lives that are lost every day to gun violence. #WearOrange and visit wearorange.org for more."

What was the reaction?

One user responded, "This is anti-gun propaganda disguised as virtue. CMT has gone down the drain with all other corporations who sell out to Woke extremists."

Another user added, "I for one, will not ever watch any station who champions any campaign against the 2nd Amendment, which is what CMT just did. You'd think they would know their audiance [sic], but you put woke idiots in charge, and you get stupidity."

"@CMT and @NASCAR have both forgotten who their core audience is again I see," another commenter complained.

Another user took aim at the network for supporting the movement.

"I wish you'd (virtually) stop supporting @MikeBloomberg's anti #2A agenda which prevents everyone, including women and minorities, a chance to defend themselves, especially during efforts to defund police, leaving many people vulnerable to violence," the user wrote.

Another commenter added, "Every day guns save innocent lives ... You might not understand who your audience is, but an overwhelming majority are gun owners ..."

"Rest assured I'll never subscribe or watch anything else sponsored by you ... The 2nd amendment is still there. Get off this soapbox before you find yourself in the dustbin of history," another user demanded.
