[Free Beacon] Democratic Rep. Val Demings (Fla.) said on Thursday that the violent riots that took place at the University of California, Berkley the prior night were a "beautiful sight."
Breitbart editor Milo Yiannopoulos, a vocal Donald Trump supporter, was scheduled to speak at UC Berkley on Wednesday night, but the event had to be canceled due to violent protests from students and other activists.
"The university said fires were set, including one caused by a firebomb that ignited a generator-powered spotlight, and commercial-grade fireworks were thrown at police," NBC News reported of the riots.
One witness reported seeing a large crowd yelling "No Trump, no Milo," at Sproul Plaza on the UC Berkley campus. A female Trump supporter was pepper-sprayed while giving an on-cmaera interview.
Demings applauded the violent protests that took place during a Capitol hill hearing.
"We have seen demonstrations‐and I think you already talked about that‐around the country. Young people at Berkeley protesting against this unconstitutional order," Demings said.
She then encouraged more young people to get involved in the protests.
"We encourage our young people to get involved‐I thought it was a beautiful site," Demings said.
Police treated six people for injuries from the riots, according to Berkeley.

I hope this is right g(r)om, but I've been hearing the "don't make me angry, you wouldn't like me when I'm angry" bit for a looong time now, and have yet to see any results.

I agree, JQC, with both statements. Couldn't have happened at a classier place.

Trump can't do it all on his own.
Of course not, you (we because, to a lesser extent, the things are the same in Israel) have a long fight ahead - basically, all the institutions they've taken over (starting with schools) have to be retaken or replaced.

We have to go after the money. We must identify the sources of this cash and prosecute them for inciting riots. This is why we have RICO laws, use them....

@#3: Those seething under the surface still follow laws. Once anarchy begins being answered by anarchy, the real fireworks begin. And those now seeking attention will be, er, "surprised."
Those with less to lose become the most dangerous.
Fools will be merely cannon fodder.

It's going to suck, but the tree (apparently) needs watering.
[DAILYCALLER] A high-ranking official convicted of murder threatened to "fire back" if The Daily Caller News Foundation Investigative Group (TheDCNF) reported that a new branch president for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) embezzled during his tenure at a previous nonprofit.
Gerald Hankerson, president of the Alaska, Oregon and Washington State regional NAACP, told TheDCNF he wasn’t "authorizing" the disclosure because it "strikes a blow to the NAACP by indicating that we allow criminals at the leadership."
Hankerson himself was sentenced to life in prison for aggravated murder and spent 23 years in prison before being granted leniency because he, in the governor’s words, "accepted full responsibility of his conduct," but now claims he is innocent.
TheDCNF reported Thursday that the Anchorage, Alaska, branch of the NAACP in November elected Kevin McGee, who had been convicted of using his previous position as president of a babus government employees union to steal from, as a court document put it, "the very people he was supposed to represent." In a victim impact statement, the union called McGee "an opportunistic thief who has shown no remorse."

He's just another bullshit artist of the type that keeps rising to the top of the Democratic party's power positions.
[DAILYCALLER] News that President Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
was easing sanctions against Russia was refuted almost immediately, like so many other stories.
The Department of the Treasury said Thursday that it would allow U.S. companies to make limited transactions with the Federal Security Service ... the successor to the KGB... (FSB), Russia’s intelligence agency. Possibly eager to establish a connection between the new U.S. president and Russia, numerous media outlets and journalists were quick to claim that Trump was easing, and even lifting, sanctions against Russia.
"I haven’t eased anything," Trump told news hounds at the White House Thursday.
"We’re not easing sanctions," White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer confirmed, saying that, "It is a regular course of action."
As it turns out, the move was a "technical fix" planned by the B.O. regime.
"Our understanding is that this is not the start of sanctions easing," Ian Bremmer, president of the consulting firm Eurasia Group told news hounds.
"It’s a rule change clearing up a problem with the sanctions regime that prevented U.S. exporters of non-sanctioned electronic devices from complying with both U.S. and Russian law. The problem was identified by the B.O. regime, and this appears to be the response to address it."
Even Arizona Sen. John Maverick McCain ... the Senator-for-Life from Arizona, former presidential candidate and even more former foot soldier in the Reagan Revolution. As an ordinary citizen he greased the infamous hookers peeing on the Obamabed in Moscow dossier in an attempt to smear President Trump... , who has called for tougher sanctions on Russia, agreed that Thursday’s move was "largely a technical fix."
The media whirlwind that followed the Treasury Department’s actions proved unjustified almost instantaneously.

[Daily Caller] To manipulate Americans, politicians Before Trump have used the values cudgel. With respect to immigration, the idea is to impress upon gullible Americans that the world has a global Right of Return to the U.S. Fail to accept egalitarian immigration for all into America; and you are flouting the very essence of Americanism. (Or, to use liberal argumentation, you’re Hitler.)
In the Barack Obama universe, the carnage in Boston, Orlando, San Bernardino, Fort-Hood and Chattanooga dwarfs when compared to the importance of preserving "our values." (By which Obama means his values, Hillary Clinton’s values, Angela Merkel’s values, Sally Yates’s values, Chucky Schumer’s values, Jeff Bezos’s values, John McMussolini’s values, Lindsey Graham’s values.)
When a politician pules about "the values that make our country great," to quote Mrs. Clinton, chances are they mean multiculturalism, pluralism, wide-swung borders, Islam as peace, communities divided in diversity as a net positive, and the Constitution--it mandates all the above, just ask Ruth Bader Ginsburg--as a living, breathing, mutating philosophical malignancy.
For them, "protecting" the abstraction that is "our way of life" trumps the protection of real individual lives. "We must guard against a weakening of the values that make us who we are," dissembled Obama in the waning weeks before he was gone. The empty phrase is meant to make the sovereign citizen--you--forget that government’s most important role, if not its only role, is to protect individual life.

Fine. Change all state lotteries so that 2500 tickets in each drawing receive top prize. Count the number of days - or hours - until the lottery is bankrupt. That's what letting illiterate, unskilled "economic migrants" into the US in unchecked numbers will do to the country. Put it out there for everybody to see, sort of like a reverse "Americathon."

the world has a global Right of Return to the U.S. How did this come about? What idiot came up with this cockamamie notion? Why not Saudi Arabia, Siberia, Syria or Nigeria or some other $hit hole? Sounds like one of Soros' ideas about "open borders."
An estimated 9.2 million people signed up via Healthcare.gov by the Jan. 31 open enrollment deadline, according to the update from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.
The data also showed that many faced 25 percent premium hikes on average and that there were fewer options.
While that may have been anticipated, the uncustomary and highly politicized wording in a Trumplican government statement was not. It led to furious responses from some former White House officials and others.
"Obamacare has failed the American people, with one broken promise after another," said current Health and Human Services spokesman Matt Lloyd in a statement. On the other hand,
That prompted, Benjamin Wakana, who held Lloyd's position until two weeks ago, to fire back. "That statement is insane," he told CNBC. Not "incorrect". Not "misguided". Not "politically motivated". So far out of my comfort zone it must be "insane".
"Considering the (Affordable Care Act) covered 20 million more people than any Republican plan." And it was all free, too!
The Trump administration stopped outreach and pulled advertising for Obamacare over the past two weeks. "The sabotage efforts worked," Charles Gaba, an progressive independent analyst who has been tracking enrollment figures told U.S. News. "Impossible to prove causation, of course, but Healthcare.gov enrollment had been pacing last year's very closely until the final week." Impossible, of course, but there - I said it anyway.

I suspect this fight will define Trump's presidency more than any other. He promised to repeal. Feckless Republicans in Congress don't have the stomach. When the dust settles, we'll know who is calling the shots in DC for the next 4 years.

Chas Gaba does good stat analyses (actually does the work compared to HHS or CBO), but he is also a Dem operative out of MI. says so right on his website, as any good reporter would note.

[WASHINGTONEXAMINER] The Secret Service is denying that two senior Secret Service managers were abruptly forced to resign Thursday night.
"The report regarding the Secret Service personnel is absolutely false," an agency spokeswoman said Friday.
She referred all further questions to the White House press office, which did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Steve Clemons, a longtime left-wing think tank writer who now serves as the Washington editor on the lam of the Atlantic and National Journal, issued a string of tweets late Thursday night saying that at least two senior Secret Service managers were "abruptly forced to resign" and were escorted out of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, the building adjacent to the White House.
Clemons suggested that the move was an effort by the Trump administration to reshuffle the agency's top leadership but stressed that that was only "speculation."
Clemons is on a plane to Tokyo and could not be reached for comment.
His tweets about an incident at the EEOB involving two Secret Service managers came a week and a half after the Washington Examiner first reported that the top agent in Denver wrote in a Facebook post she would rather face "jail time" than "take a bullet" for Trump.
Kerry O'Grady, the agent in question, explained herself saying she viewed Trump's presidential candidacy as a "disaster" for the country and especially for women and minorities.

Indira Gandhi had Sikh bodyguards who were her State Security. When her administration gave the Orders to Indian Army General Brar to take down the Bhindrinwal Rebellion takeover of the Golden Temple in Amritsar it resulted in several Sikh deaths including Bhindrinwal. Brar was himself a Sikh, but loyal. Bhindrinwal was a Rebel and disloyal.
In my opinion a State can not tolerate disloyalty for any reason if it is to remain a State. Bhindrinwal led a sect in opposition to the State. He set up machinguns in the Amritsar Golden temple. Brar moved against him. The army won.
In retaliation, State Security Sikh bodyguards machine gunned Indira Gandhi the Head of State to death in her own garden. 30,000 Sikhs all over India were murdered in the streets by ordinary citizens in retaliation. Imagine Schumer pulled into the street and doused with gasoline, or Madonna, and set alight in a screaming mob.
If a member of the State Secret Service in the US is disloyal she should be removed. Quickly and ruthlessly. If Trump doesn't want his own Secret Service Security to shoot him in the WH Rose Garden.. word to the wise. State Security is paramount . No toleration for disloyalty.
If this is Fake News it is a warning of a vulnerability. Fix it. Make sure it is a closed matter. The Left is disloyal. Tighten Security around the President. If the President is attacked imagine 30,000 Democrats attacked one at a time all over the US and set on fire in the streets in retaliation. True, the US is NOT India. But there is no love lost at present between the Hillary and Sanders Progs and the decent Americans who elected Trump. And the US Army is loyal to the Constitution and will put down any rebellion with extreme force.
The Left will do what it thinks it can get away with. Does anyone question that?

Clyde raises an interesting point. Yes indeed, if President Trump were to be assassinated it would most likely be an inside job. Sure, there could be a lone wolf, or a known wolf, or a splodydope, or a precision planned op from a well-financed and trained group, but the odds are on someone inside -- they have the access.
The interesting point is in the response. If this terrible event were to occur it might well provoke some extreme civil unrest. The hard left prog-tards would take to the streets in jubilation, Berkeley-style. At that point I think we'd see a some significant, armed push back from fly-over land. It would become bloody very quickly. Hot-tempered people on each side would drive this forward.
And I honestly don't know what would happen after that.

Having lived through the 1960's after JFK was assassinated it was my opinion that this whole country went off the rails. There was Vietnam which was bad enough but then there were the hippies, the Yuppies, the Black Panthers, the Weathermen, etc. The whole country went full on bat shit crazy. We do NOT want that again.
