Let's stop trying to play with his words and pretend he meant something that he clearly did not state.Saw this post, had to share:

2 Minnesota lawmakers shot in apparent 'targeted' incidents, in grave condition; manhunt underway
Minnesota state senator John Hoffman in Champlin and Minnesota state representative Melissa Hortman in Brooklyn Park were reportedly shot in their separate homes by a gunman impersonating a police officer.
The suspect, according to the alert, is a white man with brown hair wearing black body armor over a blue shirt and blue pants. Authorities are asking residents not to approach the suspect if spotted.
Reports state multiple victims were at both locations. The other victims being the lawmakers spouses. The victims are in "grave" condition...
All outlets reporting.. choose your source.Minnesota State Representative Melissa Hortman...has died.. State Senator John Hoffman and his wife are out of surgery...

I saw the story. My hypothesis is that this is not an example of “left wing violence, otherwise why were Democrats being targeted? Seems like Pure rightwing thuggery to me.You are absolutely correct. Both were Democrats and the reporting is now saying they have a manifesto of a list of targets.
You fit well with Esoteric; he made the same rationalization based on the same total lack of evidence.
Just not possible that it was not done by any but "rightwing thuggery", right? Because two victims were Democrats.
You have lost, with most of the left, any ability to think clearly and rationally. Maybe it WAS a "right wing thug"; God knows there are enough from the left - surely the right deserves to have a FEW of those idiots around! More likely it was a "left wing" thug though, simply because of the statistics of "thuggery" and the propensity of leftwingers to be violent.Minnesota Police are now telling anti-Trump “No Kings” protestors NOT to attend rallies in the state after discovering that the assassin planned to target the events...
I don't know what a "No Kings" protestor is, but assume it is anti-Trump. Why would such a person attend a Trump rally...except to make trouble, and probably violent trouble at that?
Sounds to me like the cops are right; if all you want is to make trouble and cause violence, stay away. From whatever is going on, whether Trump rally, anti-ICE protest, whatever it is. We don't need more idiots "protesting" with rocks, molotov cocktails and fires.No Kings is the protest happening right now in 2000 cities across the country... In opposition to Trump's policies.
Remember when they said the same thngs when the Pennsylvania governor (Democrat) was attaced? Surprise, it was a Palestinian supporter attacking him because he is Jewish.
You might want to take some time and research that. What Dr Mark said is 100% true.
Now that it turns out the Minnesota killer was a Tim Walz appointee and a Democrat that murdered a Democrat, not one of them will come on this forum and admit that they were making that up.
I agree.
Since it doesn't fit the left's agenda it will also fade quickly from the mainstream media.So, what Doc? It is clear that this person targeted Democrats, proponents of the issues that Democrats support.
So what if he worked under Walz administration, he needed to work. His political affiliations were made quite clear simply in the targets of his attacks. Only the right wing killer cowardly attacks in the cover of darkness and you right wing types dare to compare the overwhelmingly peaceful protests of millions over the savagery of one man, a right wing beast."Only the right wing killer cowardly attacks in the cover of darkness and you right wing types dare to compare the overwhelmingly peaceful protests of millions over the savagery of one man, a right wing beast."
Count me among the many who have no idea what you are talking about.The best friend and roommate of suspected political assassin Vance Boelter said that he got a chilling final text message from the suspected killer saying he would soon be dead just hours after Saturday’s bloodbath, a report said.
“David and Ron, I love you guys. I made some choices, and you guys don’t know anything about this, but I’m going to be gone for a while. May be dead shortly, so I just want to let you know I love you guys both and I wish it hadn’t gone this way,” Carlson read from his phone while sitting on the front stoop, video showed.
“I don’t want to say anything more and implicate you in any way because you guys don’t know anything about this. But I love you guys and I’m sorry for all the trouble this has caused,” the message read.
Carlson immediately called authorities fearing that Boelter may have hurt himself, according to that report.
The 59-year-old expressed shock that his friend, who he first met in fourth grade, could be involved in the heinous killings.
When asked about the political leanings of Boetler, Carlson revealed that — despite once being a political appointee of the state’s Democratic Gov. Tim Walz — voted for President Donald Trump, but that he was not aware of his feelings on state politics, the report stated.
Boetler, 57, was also strongly anti-abortion but not in a way that could have motivated him to kill, according to his lifelong pal.Yes, indeed, IB, he did it. While he does not wear a Maggot Hat, it is obviously where his sympathies were, that he was one of THEM.
Boelter sometimes mentioned national Democrats he disliked, Carlson said.
“He didn’t like Nancy Pelosi,” he said, referring to the California congresswoman and former speaker of the U.S. House. “He didn’t like [Minnesota Gov. Tim] Walz. He didn’t like [former president Joe] Biden.”
But his comments were ordinary complaints about politicians, and he didn’t express extreme views, Carlson said. He said Boelter supported President Donald Trump and had voted for him. He said Boelter would be offended if someone called him a Democrat.
What is clear is that person targeted a Democrat that dared to vote the truth, instead of what the leftist leadership in Minnesota wanted to pass.
The two lawmakers that were targeted did not vote the same... Hoffman voted no.
Lol who said he's a Democrat?
He appointed more than once to the Workforce Development Board.
Boelter was appointed to the board in 2016 by Mark Dayton, who was then the governor. He continued this appointment under Walz. So what? The board has 41 members who are appointed by the governor, and its goal is to improve business development in the state... It includes both Republicans and Democrats.
"A state report in 2016 listed Mr. Boelter’s political affiliation as “none or other,” and another report in 2020 listed him as having “no party preference.” Voters do not declare political affiliation when they register in Minnesota...."
Let's stick with the facts.

Are you dyslexic as well, I did say “hypothesis”….
Generally YOUR people are always a lot worse and I will rub your nose in the actually explanation when it arrives supporting my suspicion, but if I am wrong, I will eat crow.
You are the epitome of rational thought? Now, don’t make me laugh.There is some new 'speculation' in the news:
"Be brutally honest: Yes or No: Are you shocked that Vance Boelter, 57, — a former appointee of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz — is now being sought in the assassination of a Democratic state lawmaker and her husband, and had ‘No Kings’ flyers in his car?
A Democrat?
There is also speculation that ties her recent (same day?) vote that sided with Republicans on some kind of Medicaid or medical care vote. The sole Democrat traitor.
As I remember, you like mustard with your crow.
GA ;-)It is speculation on my part, but this has the smell of a right wing initiative. When that becomes conclusive, I will rub BOTH of your noses in it, so you can probably spare the mustard.
Because an insane madman went out to kill. Who can ever know or understand the motives of such a person?
I can't think of a serious answer for that question. Maybe I'll think of one after the police find him.
GA
Both you and Mike need to present your proboscises for my rubbing into the medium of my choice, and you don’t want to guess what that will be.
It is like I always say, only right-wingers kill like this.I don't know, yet. He doesn't appear to be a Democrat or MAGA. It appears he was motivated against pro-choice folks more than anti-Trump folks.
Early headlines paint him as Willowarbor did: a Christian nationalist. Maybe he was just a one-issue religious zealot—abortion. *shrug*
I know that fits in your range of 'Right-wingers, but for now you should keep your powder dry, and I'll keep my regally masculine nose powdered. We'll both be ready.
GA ;-)I still can't get over the vile, awful things that were shouted at us going to the parade on Saturday from an overpass. They were holding the most disgusting signs. Guys were walking to the parade past this with their grandchildren.
So, you have these pathetic excuses for human beings who don't want to protest but want to harass, mock, and taunt people who just want to go and watch a patriotic parade.
The left never looked so bad to me.
What is wrong with these people?But no one was killed, that distinction belongs to your side…..
No, if you're referring to Jan 6, the only person killed was an unarmed woman by the name of Ashley Babbitt shot by a capital police officer.
If you're talking about the George Floyd riots, which the left owns,
"At least 25 Americans were killed during protests and political unrest in 2020
At least 11 people were killed while participating in the George Floyd riots. Nine of the people killed during protests were demonstrators taking part in Black Lives Matter protests. Two were conservatives killed after pro-Trump “patriot rallies”. All but one were killed by fellow citizens.The problem with the Left's ideals and goals...
They really have a more attractive vision...
The only reason for not believing in it, is it doesn't work.
Communism... When China had its revolution and 40 something million people died of starvation because of the policies put in place... That to me is not the solution we need.
Just as bad when the Russians tried it.
It sounds inclusive and understanding to allow biological men to compete against biological women in women's sports... But it is just as wrong as when they rewrite the rules and standards to get a handful of woman their Ranger tabs...the impact that has...well... probably a lot of hard ass men who were much better for that job decided it wasn't for them.
Typically I would think it would be best for society to take your miscreants and violent actors and make them your warriors you send off to battle... Not cute little Suzie who weighs 125 pounds soaking wet.
So... Ideas with good intentions that are the seeds of the downfall of civilization.
As we have seen in the past... USSR is one good example. We will see how China fares, they have a much different society and history... So maybe they will show the world the way ...or maybe not.Well, 10 million strong takes to the street to say at the top of their lungs that Trump and Trumpism isn’t working either.
Mao’s cultural revolution in China killed millions during the 1960’s, what does that have to do with the USA?
As I said before, I do not support relaxing physical standards for the Army Rangers. But, I do insist that everyone be given the opportunity to meet them and compete.
Conservatives always wanted to send its miscreants to war to fight for others, things that they do not have at home. Making that point is what made Mohammed Ali more than just a champion in the ring.
China is outwitting America by using economics as more effective tool for world dominance than our military model.Ken, he did it. I have to say, the precision of the mission, the mission itself, and Trump’s message to We the People were truly stunning. No more deal needed, done and done, classic Trump. Iran will no longer be a threat to anyone. Maybe now the Middle East can finally rejoice and find peace.
Shar,
I like how he bombs Iran and they says how they now need to get back to the negotiating table.
Classic.Mike, President Trump has consistently shown that he prioritizes peace through strength, not endless war. From the beginning, he made every effort to resolve the Iran nuclear issue through negotiation, offering a seat at the table, not a missile strike. His administration withdrew from the flawed Iran deal, not to provoke conflict, but to secure a stronger, safer path forward. Even after neutralizing a serious nuclear threat, Trump’s message remains the same: choose peace. That’s not the mindset of a warmonger, it’s the stance of a leader committed to keeping his promises and protecting global stability. In my view, he genuinely wants peace and is willing to do the hard work to achieve it.
I voted for this man knowing he solves problems, he doesn’t create them. Now, after taking out a major nuclear threat that loomed not just over Israel, but the entire world, he once again calls on Iran to choose peace.
That’s leadership. He’s a man of his word, hell-bent on keeping his promises, and in my view, a true hero. I trust him, and I deeply appreciate the personal sacrifice he made by stepping into the presidency during a time when our nation was in a tailspin after the Biden administration. He doesn't just talk about peace, he fights for it, and I believe he truly wants to bring about lasting stability in the world.
I truly believe President Trump will bring peace to the Middle East. This morning, I can only imagine the sense of relief felt by many nations in the region, finally seeing real leadership against looming threats. Sadly, while the world inches closer to stability, some in our own nation are so blinded by hate that they can’t see the reality unfolding, and they refuse to acknowledge the results of strong, principled leadership.
He promised that Iran would never get a nuclear weapon—and under his leadership, they lost the ability to build one. He didn’t just talk; he delivered.Amen! As he does most frequently. I mean, think of all the many decades we have watched presidents fail at dealing with the great threat Iran posed. He kept his campaign promise --- Iran will never have a nuclear weapon.
It's already obvious that many in the media—and especially across social media, are in full-blown "hair-on-fire" mode with predictions about what Trump might do. They’re pushing hypotheticals, worst-case scenarios, and fearmongering narratives, all while conveniently ignoring what he’s actually saying now, and what many former members of his administration have already made clear about his priorities.
Instead of reporting on facts, we get endless speculation, often rooted more in emotion and partisan panic than in reality. There's a clear effort to drown out or dismiss serious statements from world leaders who’ve expressed either respect for Trump's past foreign policy or concern over current events, like recent bombings, which they view through a broader geopolitical lens. But those voices aren’t getting airtime because they don't fit the narrative.
This isn't journalism, it's theater. And it’s dangerous, because it keeps the public misinformed and focused on boogeymen instead of facts. The media’s obsessive speculation is designed to stoke fear, not foster understanding. It's business as usual. Would you not think they would learn?Trump has DELIVERED America into......WORLD WAR 3. Iran doesn't play. They will RETALIATE against America. America will suffer as a result of the ineptly aggressive actions of Trump.
Yes, he delivered a war something that he promised he wouldn't on the campaign trail LOL.... Have maga folks taken a minute to look back on your previous posts and your stance against war? Many need to revisit their previous statements... One word... PRETZELS
Yes, he delivered a deadly war which will adversely affect America. I am afraid of what will happen.
Yeah, he delivered, alright, dragging the United States into disaster.
Being assertive is less desirable than using prudence to avoid rash and impulsive actions. Why can't Israel defend itself, it has doing it for the last 80 years? I have no obligation to get involved in more foreign intrigue. Are we prepared for the retaliation from where ever it comes?
China and Russia will defend or provide mUnitions to Iran is my guess. And we find ourselves in another quagmire because Trump is impulsive and chooses to mindlessly gamble with the lives of our servicemen in the region.
So, by destroying Iran, we get peace in the region? I doubt it. The forces lying in wait for America will be stimulated to attack and they won't come in through the front door nor be in formation.
So much for the peace dividend...Remember how they excoriated Biden for not being able to negotiate Putin out of his ambitions in Ukraine? Yet war is the only option with Iran? They didn't even want our financial assistance going to Ukraine but now we will be fully backing Israel. The hypocrisy is incredible. What happened to the cries of America first? Lol
"Yeah, he delivered, alright, dragging the United States into disaster."Cred
What disaster? Are you entertaining an "if come"?
"China and Russia will defend or provide mUnitions to Iran is my guess. And we find ourselves in another quagmire because Trump is impulsive and chooses to mindlessly gamble with the lives of our servicemen in the region." Cred
I will hold you to this one--- I say you are wrong.
"Being assertive is less desirable than using prudence to avoid rash and impulsive actions. Why can't Israel defend itself, it has doing it for the last 80 years? I have no obligation to get involved in more foreign intrigue. Are we prepared for the retaliation from where ever it comes?" Cred
Israel was and continues to defend itself. While some may feel reluctant to get involved in what they see as “foreign intrigue,” the reality is that this commitment was a key part of Trump’s campaign promises. He repeatedly stated, “Iran will never have a nuclear bomb.” Trump made every effort to negotiate with Iran, offering them multiple opportunities to come to the table—an approach supported by the EU as well. Ultimately, he made the decision to end Iran’s threat once and for all, ensuring they would never have the ability to attack any nation with a nuclear bomb. Trump has made it clear that he does not seek war, but he has firmly warned Iran against attacking U.S. bases or interfering with our nation. Hopefully, Iran’s leadership will take that warning seriously. I believe they will think twice before launching any attacks on Americans, and if they are bold enough to do so, they will face overwhelming force.
I believe we are on the verge of witnessing real peace in the Middle East. Trump offers the region a unique chance to gain greater respect and recognition on the world stage. Most Middle Eastern nations have long sought stability, economic growth, and meaningful respect from the global community, but have rarely had the opportunity to achieve it on their own terms. By promoting strength through diplomacy, encouraging economic partnerships, and advancing agreements like the Abraham Accords, Trump is opening a path for these nations to be seen not as conflict zones, but as influential partners shaping the future.
I also think some people simply struggle to accept positive change. Many Americans prefer the status quo and resist anything that challenges what they’re used to. Trump was elected because he promised bold change, and many of us recognized that and had the courage to choose new leadership over old, failed policies.
Today, many G7 nations stand united with Trump in insisting that Iran must never acquire a nuclear weapon. They are urging Iran to choose peace and come to the negotiating table with the United States.
Trump has taken a major step toward global peace by putting an end to Iran’s nuclear ambitions. It might be wise not to predict or feel you know the future. So, many times, all the doom and gloom predictions of the left never come to fruition.It might be wise not to predict or feel you know the future. So, many times, all the doom and gloom predictions of the left never come to fruition.
But many times, it does, and never can well become probable and I will hold Trump and his administration and supporters on the hot seat. He has done it this time, he will stumble....This isn't a misstep; it's a significant achievement on the global stage. Trump’s actions have ended Iran's nuclear program. Politically, this could be another setback for the Democrats. Trump has shown strength and determination in addressing complex international challenges. He is a problem solver. I would surmise that more Americans will take note of Trump's strong leadership. He keeps his promises.
I don't think that the country is interested in spending precious blood and treasure on the "sky is falling" talk of an impeding threat from Iran that has been around 30 years. The issues of war and peace in the region require a far more nuanced solution than that of Trump dropping bombs.
If they don't surrender, and if I were them, I wouldn't, we are in for a long and protracted war. Anti-American sentiment will reach the ceiling, worldwide.I understand where you’re coming from, and it’s true that the Iran issue has been a longstanding challenge with deep complexities. But I think reading too much into the worst-case scenario might miss the fact that the future is genuinely unknown; it could go many ways. While a prolonged conflict is a possibility, there’s also room for diplomacy or unexpected developments that could lead to a more positive outcome. History has shown us that situations like this can shift in ways we don’t always predict. So, it’s important to keep an open mind and not assume the sky is inevitably falling. The real world rarely fits neatly into either/or extremes, and there’s always good hope for a solution that avoids costly conflict.
A widening war is not a scenario that I want as a possibility on the spin of the roulette wheel. A widening conflict is an option that we need to preclude not accommodate.
I understand the concern about preventing a broader war; no one wants to see needless escalation, and you're certainly not alone in feeling that way. But it’s important to note that the Pentagon had contingency plans already in place to protect U.S. interests in the region in case Iran retaliated. This wasn’t some reckless gamble; it was a calculated strategic move with defense protocols ready.
President Trump has made it clear: any retaliation from Iran would not lead to boots on the ground, but would be met with overwhelming air power, more devastating than the initial strikes. The objective isn’t endless war; it’s deterrence, weeding out a very bad action in the Middle East.
A decisive show of strength can often prevent prolonged conflict more effectively than hesitation. In my view, a nuclear-armed Iran would be extremely dangerous, especially given that its leadership follows a doctrine that calls for the killing of infidels, and for decades, they’ve openly declared their intent to destroy both America and Israel.
We must not ignore threats or assume problems will resolve on their own. It’s strength and readiness that deter hostile actors. This brave action could work to bring peace to the Middle East and bring them into a new era of cooperation and stability, one built not on fear or extremism, but on mutual respect, economic growth, and the shared hope for a better future.
It is way too early to make a statement such as "Trump has ended Iran's nuclear program...'. The damage to the specific sites has not even been accurately determined yet.
Grace, Absolutely! In my view, he is working diligently to keep his promises. And doing a crazy great job at it. Yes, it is setting some hair on fire --- but oh well.
I can honestly say I have never in my life witnessed a president who is so hell-bent on keeping his promises. He certainly is on a roll! I have a hard time keeping up with his accomplishments.
I find my perspective on all things become clearer the less I associate anyone on the 'other side' as the enemy.
While admitting to myself there ARE extremists on both sides who are dangerous.
And I try to remain open minded even after coming to a conclusion.
For instance I distrust Soros, I felt his goals threatened America/Personal freedoms.
When Elon Musk called him the biggest threat as well... My biases and perceptions were confirmed by someone I think is trying to move humanity in the right direction.
Then I happen to watch this Soros speech...
https://youtu.be/CqSN3iEsq9A?si=YxKe1qxAfEB4D3X2
And most of what he is saying... especially in the first 30 minutes... I tend to agree with and recognize the threats he highlighted.
So... Cognitive Dissonance... Nah....just the realization that I have to reevaluate the man and his efforts.I have yet to see left leaning extremists mow people down in public places. The problem with “both sides’ is that one side is far more guilty than the other
I have felt threatened by Trump and the entire MAGA movement. Based on the way Musk has behaved in the last few months, I don’t trust him either.
We both can see the same facts but come to different conclusions.
For sure! It is the right that rioted in Portland and Minneapolis. It is the right that is rioting in LA. Because the (nonexistent) MY people are a lot worse than the progressive left idiots.
Should you make me the epitome of rational thought I will bow gracefully and decline. As usual you are trying to insinuate I said something that I did not.These kinds of assaults always have the right wing label. Oh, your people exist, alright. Since you are not the “epitome” of rational thought, how are you in a position to judge the rationality of others who do not share your view of “what is good for America”?
What riots? Can people protest without there being having a riot? Read the First Amendment and get back with me, if you dare."Can people protest without there being having a riot?"
I don't think this is something that's possible with the left.If the goal is to muzzle free speech which is the objective of the strident right wing, any dissent against the tyrant will be interpreted as a “riot”.
Unfortunately, the left has taken "free speech" to mean:
1) You can only say what we approve of.
2) We can block roads, assault cars on those roads, vandalize, burn or rob businesses (down with Capitalism)... its all "mostly peaceful" and part of how "free speech" is intended to be interpreted.
3) We can bring up any "oppression" or "crime" without evidence, no matter how long ago in the past, and demand justice be wrought, immediately and without hesitation (unless innocence can be proven without doubt).Just for giggles since you have become big on AI Google generative AI says;
Liberals and conservatives hold differing perspectives on free speech, often rooted in their broader political philosophies and concerns about societal values. Generally, liberals tend to prioritize individual liberty and the protection of even unpopular or offensive speech, while conservatives often emphasize the importance of community and social order, potentially leading to a more nuanced view on the limits of free speech.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Liberal Perspective:
** Emphasis on individual liberty:
Liberals generally champion free speech as a fundamental right, believing it's essential for open dialogue, social progress, and holding power accountable.
** Skepticism of censorship:
Many liberals worry that restrictions on speech, even for harmful content, can create a "slippery slope" leading to broader censorship and suppression of dissenting opinions.
** Focus on harm reduction:
While liberals may acknowledge the potential for harmful speech, they often prioritize the importance of open dialogue and debate, even if it includes offensive viewpoints.
**Concern about power:
Some liberals are wary of government power and see restrictions on speech as a potential tool for oppression.
Conservative Perspective:
** Emphasis on social order and community:
Conservatives often prioritize the stability and well-being of society, which can lead them to be more concerned about the potential for harmful speech to disrupt social cohesion or erode traditional values.
** Concerns about misinformation and harmful content:
Conservatives may be more likely to support restrictions on speech that they believe spreads misinformation, incites violence, or undermines social norms.
** Support for free speech within limits:
While conservatives generally support free speech, they may be more open to limiting speech that they believe is harmful to individuals or society.
** Skepticism of government overreach:
Some conservatives may be wary of government overreach in regulating speech, but they may also be concerned about the power of private entities (like social media companies) to control speech.
** Concern about the erosion of traditional values:
Some conservatives believe that certain forms of speech can undermine traditional values and social institutions, leading them to support restrictions on that speech.
Key Differences:
Priorities:
Liberals prioritize individual liberty and open dialogue, while conservatives prioritize social order and community well-being.
Limits on speech:
Liberals are generally more hesitant to restrict speech, while conservatives may be more willing to consider restrictions on harmful or disruptive speech.
Views on social media:
Both sides have concerns about the power of social media platforms, but liberals may be more concerned about private censorship, while conservatives may be more concerned about the potential for government overreach.
In essence, the debate over free speech between liberals and conservatives often boils down to a conflict between individual liberty and social order, with both sides acknowledging the potential for harm and the need for some level of regulationThanks for this, yes I am the “liberal” no doubt.
"Liberals generally champion free speech as a fundamental right, believing it's essential for open dialogue, social progress, and holding power accountable."
I disagree. Liberals feel it is their right to shut down speech they don't like.
February 22, 2021: Two House Democrats urge cable, satellite, and internet programming distributors to drop Fox, Newsmax, and OAN.
April 2021: Biden Administration official meets with Twitter to advocate that conservative users be shut down.
July 15, 2021: White House confirms that it is in “regular touch” with social media companies about monitoring content it deems as “misinformation.”
March 3, 2022: Biden Administration official demand that Big Tech companies hand over information about how many social media users saw COVID-19 “misinformation.”
April 27, 2022: Department of Homeland Security announces the creation of a “Disinformation Governance Board.”
August 12, 2022: White House internal communications reveal that it had a role in censoring prominent conservative reporter Alex Berenson.
There is violence and protesting to keep Jewish and Conservative speakers from speaking at college campuses who have been invited there by a conservative student group. Look up Ben Shapiro, Michael Knowles, Riley Gains, etc.
The list goes on and on and on.
I like Tim’s explanation in his post, the liberal-progressive stand is where I am centered and with which I agree.
Even MORE proof the violence of the left knows no boundaries. They are not intelligent enough to sell their ideas to people, so, all they have left to get their way is violence. The vast majority of Americans are not interested in what the left is saying. It is so sad.

https://x.com/DarnelvaDoo/status/1934065193837035783So, a military parade was held yesterday in Washington DC to celebrate the Army's 250th birthday.
Thousand of people attended it.
When you walked under an overpass to get to there, many protesters stood at the top of the overpass yelling and screaming obscenities, calling names, holding the most disgusting signs at patriotic people going to watch a parade.
Many of us veterans feel we didn't fight to be treated like this by blithering idiots from the left wing.
The parade was fantastic. Soldiers marching in period uniforms, showing equipment from the Civil War, World War I, World War II, Korea, Viet Nam as well as Iraq and Afghanistan. There were flyover by WWII aircraft, Vietnam era Huey helicopters and so much more.
Got to talk to many soldiers serving now in my old unit.
I just don't know why the left HAS to act like a bunch of petulant children toward American citizens and veterans wanting to honor the US Army. I do know there is something very wrong with them.
The left looked just plain sad.President Donald Trump is always polite enough to thank the left.
One of the results of all the violent protests from the left is how Americans are turning their backs on the party.
They are seriously struggling for money.
"Democrats’ main fundraising committee so cash-strapped it’s considering borrowing money: ‘Party is f–ked’
Democrats’ main fundraising committee is losing big donors and so cash-strapped that its officials have discussed borrowing money just to keep the lights on, with one source spilling to The Post that if things don’t turn around before the 2026 midterms, the party is “f–ked.”
“We are six months in and we’re drowning,” a source close to the Democratic National Committee told The Post about the current rate of contributions. “The RNC was so cash-heavy and hitting us day after day after day when Biden was president.”
“We have no clear path or plan,” they added. “The midterms are going to come before we know it, and then we’re going to be really f–ked.”
The DNC’s struggle to message against the Trump administration and rather public leadership infighting — including the recent departure of former DNC vice chair David Hogg — has also led some of its largest donors to taper off their contributions, the New York Times first reported.
The DNC has previously taken out a line of credit before, including twice under Tom Perez, who led the party machine from 2017 to 2021.
In response to the reported cash-borrowing discussions, DNC Chair Ken Martin told the Times, “That’s certainly not our plan right now,” adding, “I don’t know if we’ll have to at this point.”
A DNC spokesperson told The Post that the party apparatus doubled its fundraising for the first few months of 2025 relative to the first few months of 2017, during the wake of Democrats’ prior presidential loss.
The spox also claimed that the DNC raked in more grassroots cash in the first three months of Martin’s term than any other national Democratic Party chair in its history.
“It is incredible that [Martin] has not sought to bring all the factions of the party together. He assumed the chairmanship after being opposed by the Democratic leader of the House, the Democratic leader of the Senate, organized labor leaders and many of our country’s leading governors,” a DNC official told The Post.
https://nypost.com/2025/06/19/us-news/d … lly-f-ked/You're absolutely right, the backlash from the violent and disruptive protests associated with the far left has done serious damage to the Democratic Party’s image, and now it's showing up in their bank account. It’s telling that even major Democratic donors are pulling back, signaling a deep lack of confidence in the party's direction. On top of what you mentioned, just recently, several Democrat-aligned super PACs have started shifting resources away from certain battleground House races due to underperformance and poor internal polling. This financial hesitation is a huge red flag heading into 2026.
What’s even more damning is the growing discontent among younger, once-reliable liberal voters, particularly Gen Z, who feel disillusioned by broken promises and infighting within party leadership. According to recent data from Harvard's Institute of Politics, support among young voters for Democrats has dropped by over 10% since early 2023. Combine that with visible internal fractures and the loss of grassroots momentum, and it's no wonder the DNC is in trouble. Americans are watching, and many are simply walking away.
The violence of the left knows no boundaries. Democrat leaders need to own this violence.
"Seattle journalists attacked by agitators call out far-left media for covering up violence at protests
Cam Higby said he could've 'been killed' after he was jumped by three masked men during riot in the city on Saturday
Two independent journalists who say they were assaulted while covering immigration protests in Seattle accused local media outlets and city leaders of turning a blind eye to violence from the radical far-left agitators.
Cameron Higby is an investigative journalist who focuses mostly on protests, especially those of the violent variant. He described his scary encounter at an anti-ICE rally in downtown Seattle in detail with Fox News Digital.
As evening fell, he said Antifa took over streets downtown and became violent. Videos posted to his social media show rioters trying to break into buildings and blocking cars from being able to proceed through the area. Higby said that Antifa stopped drivers and demanded they say, "F— ICE" and lit fires under the cars of drivers who wouldn't comply. One video clip shows rioters hurling an object at a car that tried to escape. According to him, one woman was "so terrified that she abandoned her vehicle in traffic."
Once Antifa returned to the federal building, Higby said things quieted down, so he sat down on the sidewalk. Even though he was dressed like Antifa and wearing a gas mask, he was identified by one man who told him to leave.
"Before I could stand up I was pinned up against a wall," he said.
Higby said three men approached and tried to remove his mask and helmet.
"Then I was picked up by somebody and was choked out, punched in the head twice with sap gloves, which are filled with steel or lead shot. And then he kicked me in the face. I pepper sprayed him and he ran away. They then later found a black Jeep Wrangler that they thought belonged to me. They destroyed it, and the poor guy had to drive his car home with a busted windshield," Higby recalled.
"I ended up with a concussion, nausea, dizziness, ringing in the ears, light flashes, and some headaches. I had to go to the ER and urgent care."
https://www.foxnews.com/media/seattle-j … e-protestsI completely agree, the violence from the far left continues to escalate, and it’s deeply troubling how often it’s ignored or downplayed by the mainstream media. When Democrat leaders and progressive outlets refuse to acknowledge or condemn these violent actions, they’re essentially giving tacit approval to this chaos. What's happening in cities like Seattle and, more recently, Portland is a prime example. Just this past weekend, Portland saw another surge of rioting, where far-left agitators vandalized property, disrupted traffic, and clashed with police during what was supposedly a peaceful protest. Yet coverage from the mainstream press was minimal at best. It’s hard to escape the feeling that the media is intentionally avoiding these stories because they conflict with their favored narrative. This selective silence only builds resentment among average Americans, who see the double standard clearly: if the violence came from the right, it would dominate headlines for weeks. But when the left resorts to intimidation and destruction, it’s brushed under the rug. These tactics don’t win people over, they alienate them, and more Americans are seeing through the façade every day.
I see the writing bug bit you...
How are they doing?
Breaking the Bunker... on the one hand it sounded like you were saying Trump was willing to use the MOAB or MOP ... but not a nuke... no... let that cat out of the bag... and Russia will use one to end the war against Ukraine... and then...I think it’s important to recognize that Trump is playing the long game here. What we’re seeing isn’t knee-jerk bravado but strategic patience. It’s very likely that Trump laid out a coordinated plan with Bibi Netanyahu weeks ago, one that’s being executed in stages. Trump is a master strategist, he doesn't jump without calculating where he'll land, and in this case, he’s trying to end the Iran threat without dragging the U.S. into a full-scale war.
He’s given Iran olive branch after olive branch, diplomatically, economically, and even with restraint in the face of aggression. That tree is almost bare now. And while some are pushing for immediate deployment of the Massive Ordnance Penetrator (the so-called “bunker buster”), Trump seems to be holding firm, demanding results and clarity before unleashing that kind of force.
Fordow, buried over 300 feet underground, presents a unique dilemma. Trump knows it’s not just about hitting a target, it’s about reshaping the entire geopolitical landscape. He’s been clear: Iran’s nuclear ambition is a red line. And with Israel’s Operation Rising Lion already inflicting heavy damage, Trump’s deliberate posture shows that he’s weighing not just military success, but long-term global stability.
Hey, it bears mentioning, you pretty much predicted this day was coming. And now, hopefully, the man so many love to hate might be the one to stop a horrific world war before it starts. I trust Trump to make the right decision, and I’m genuinely thankful that he’s the man in the White House right now. I can’t even imagine what it would look like if Kamala Harris were at the helm.
Trump has never shied away from hard choices. If he pulls the trigger, it won’t be reckless; it will be because the world has run out of other options. Peace through strength isn’t just a slogan anymore.
I don’t think Trump is aiming for another empty nuke deal with Iran; I believe he’s going to end their nuclear program for good.If he were clear about Iran's nuclear ambitions being a red line, he probably shouldn't have gotten out of the nuclear deal his first go-around? One can only wonder where their program would be if he hadn't taken such shortsighted action by all accounts, it was working...until Trump came along.
Oh, please!
The left has absolutely NO idea what was in the Iran nuclear deal. They just like to live under this false illusion that is prevented Iran from getting nuclear weapons. It did NO such thing. The Sunset clause is just ONE aspect of the deal that was a failure.
The deal fails to guarantee the peaceful nature of Iran’s nuclear program—rather, it gives Iran a clear pathway to nuclear weapons.
Sunset Clause
The deal provides Iran a clear pathway to nuclear weapons as restrictions on its uranium- enrichment and plutonium-processing capacities end (‘sunset’) between 2026 and 2031
Iran has made clear it will expand its nuclear program at that time to an industrial scale, including by introducing advanced uranium-enrichment centrifuges. Doing so would potentially reduce Iran’s ‘breakout’ time (time to develop nuclear weapons) to mere weeks, if not days—“almost down to zero,” then-President Barack Obama said in 2015, soon after the deal was signed. Again, these developments would all be permitted under the JCPOA.
By 2031 (or sooner, in some cases)—Iran will be permitted to:
produce highly-enriched uranium;
stockpile unlimited amounts of uranium;
use advanced centrifuges to enrich uranium more quickly;
conduct unlimited research and development on uranium-enrichment centrifuges; build and operate facilities to enrich uranium without restrictions;
enrich uranium, without restrictions, at its underground, hardened, previously secret Fordow nuclear facility;
reprocess spent fuel—which can be used for nuclear weapons—from heavy-water nuclear reactors; and
build new heavy-water reactors, which would annually produce enough plutonium to fuel several nuclear weapons.
The international community is therefore only ‘renting’ Iranian arms control for a time, after which Iran will have a virtually unrestricted, internationally validated, industrial-scale nuclear program. By giving political approval to that program, the JCPOA therefore makes military action the only option left to prevent a nuclear Iran.
It ALSO enabled Iran to destabilize the region with its terrorist proxies.
The deal emboldens and enriches an extremist anti-American terror state thereby furthering Iran's expansionist and destabilizing activities.
Regional Instability
The windfall of sanctions relief freed up hundreds of billions of dollars to finance Tehran’s many destabilizing activities.
Iran continues to be the world’s leading state-sponsor of terrorism, backing Hezbollah and Hamas, both of which have American blood on their hands.
Iran has escalated its support to Syria’s Assad dictatorship, which has killed hundreds of thousands during the Syrian civil war. Iran’s support has enabled Assad to reverse key setbacks and turn the tide of war in his favor.
Iran continues to sponsor violent extremist groups destabilizing Iraq, Lebanon, Yemen, and Bahrain.
Iran continues to take Americans and other foreign nationals hostage.
The Iranian regime brutally represses its own people and violates the human rights of ethnic, national, and religious minorities with impunity.
Iran has test-launched multiple ballistic missiles since the JCPOA was reached. U.N. Security Council Resolution 2231, which implemented the deal, aided Iran’s ballistic- missile program by replacing previous resolution language that said Iran “shall not” engage in ballistic-missile activities with weaker language that merely “calls upon” Iran not to test any ballistic missiles “designed to be nuclear capable.”
Arms Race
The deal fails to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons in the long term and weakens restrictions on Iran’s ballistic-missile program and conventional-arms transfers. Consequently, Iran’s regional adversaries, like Saudi Arabia, may race to counter Iran by seeking to acquire nuclear weapons and enhancing their conventional-arms capabilities.
Former Saudi Intelligence Minister Prince Turki al-Faisal warned as much in 2015: “I’ve always said whatever comes out of these talks, we will want the same. So if Iran has the ability to enrich uranium to whatever level, it’s not just Saudi Arabia that’s going to ask for that. The whole world will be an open door to go that route without any inhibition.” In 2021, Prince Turki repeated, while emphasizing that he is speaking in a personal capacity, “We should do whatever is necessary including acquiring the knowledge to develop a bomb in order to defend ourselves against a potential nuclear-armed Iran.” The chances of destabilizing regional competition and conflict have thereby increased.
So, the left may want to just read about a deal before they comment on it.
The point of concern are the idiots in DC that will be recommending the use of a nuke... and trust me...There are ALWAYS idiots like that in DC and the Pentagon... there always have been, going all the way back to the Korean war.
You bomb it with a MOP... then bomb it with a MOP again... what one might not achieve, two will.
And then we get to see if China will honor its agreements and defend Iran.Absolutely agree with you—there’s always someone in Washington or the Pentagon ready to float the most extreme option, even if it risks opening Pandora’s box. History is full of near-misses thanks to that mindset. A nuclear strike isn’t just reckless, it’s a line that once crossed, we can’t walk back from. That’s why I’m with you on the MOP solution, hit it hard, hit it again, and make sure the job gets done without igniting global chaos.
And yeah, if it comes to that, we’ll finally see if China’s bluff about defending Iran is real or just for show. The strategic game gets deadly serious at that point.
They're on the way----
Again, the left LOVES criminals and especially criminal aliens. They could not care less about law abiding American citizens and legal immigrants.
The left seems to think that immigration law is just a suggestion unaware that they to have to obey the law.
DHS reveals shocking 500% increase in assaults against ICE officers during operations
DHS reports officer dragged 50 yards by car while arresting illegal alien sex offender
The Department of Homeland Security released shocking new statistics Thursday showing that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents are facing a severe escalation in assaults during ICE operations.
According to the release, agents have experienced a 500% increase in assaults while carrying out recent enforcement operations.
"Just this week, an ICE officer was dragged 50 yards by a car while arresting an illegal alien sex offender," Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a press release.
The escalation extends to other immigration operations, including Border Patrol. On Thursday, DHS posted about an incident in Bell and Maywood, CA where Patrol vehicles were "violently targeted during lawful operations."
A vehicle was rammed, and its tires were slashed, DHS said. Another civilian also struck a federal vehicle, totaling it, according to the department. The driver was arrested for alleged vehicular assault as a mob formed and continued to slash more tires.
"Every day the men and women of ICE put their lives on the line to protect and defend the lives of American citizens. Make no mistake, Democrat politicians like Hakeem Jeffries, Mayor Wu of Boston, Governor Tim Walz, and Mayor Bass of Los Angeles are contributing to the surge in assaults of our ICE officers through their repeated vilification and demonization of ICE," McLaughlin said. "From comparisons to the modern-day Nazi Gestapo to glorifying rioters, the violent rhetoric of these sanctuary politicians is despicable. This violence against ICE must end."
DHS said family members of ICE agents are also being targeted and doxxed. The department said anyone caught committing these crimes would be penalized.
https://www.foxnews.com/us/dhs-reveals- … operationsAgain with continually attempting to make arguments based on sweeping generalizations...
The left OWNS this.
I see no democrat or anyone from the left denouncing what is being done to ICE officers.
Quite the opposite.No one supports violence... There you go, there's a sweeping generalization for you.
The left supports violence in all forms against police on local and federal levels.
They support violent protests and riots. Their leaders often take the sides of the violent protesters.
From the defund the police movement to now the attacks on ICE agents and more.
These are facts and they are indisputable.You're absolutely right, and frankly, the time has passed for any form of placating or sugarcoating this issue. The left has shown, time and again, that when they don’t get their way, they become overly zealous, emotionally reactive, and yes, often violent. We saw it play out clearly during the so-called "peaceful protests" of 2020, where cities burned, businesses were looted, and lives were lost, all while the media and leftist politicians tried to gaslight the public into thinking it was some kind of civil rights revival.
This isn't about isolated incidents, it's a pattern. From attacking police precincts and federal courthouses to harassing ICE agents and doxxing law enforcement online, the left has allowed and even encouraged a culture that treats violence as a justifiable tool when it aligns with their political goals. And when consequences are demanded, they cry oppression or claim the system is broken.
No more placation. It's time to call it exactly what it is: dangerous, deliberate, and corrosive to law and order. We’re living in a time where facts are being ignored in favor of ideological loyalty, and it's emboldening the worst elements of the activist left while putting everyday Americans and law enforcement at risk.Should we assume that the right wing man who killed a Minnesota lawmaker and her husband while shooting to others as he aspired to eliminate a list of Democrats is the face of the right wing? I don't think the generalizations about the left are going to hold unless conservative folks want to carry the mantle of all of those who committed violence on that side?
"The left supports violence in all forms against police on local and federal levels.
Tell me about it. Should we do a photo essay on the lunatics that have done violence in the name of the right wing?
Does any one honestly think Iran has not removed every bit of the nuclear product from where it was before this started? They are not going to risk nuclear fallout for their country. It’s been moved and this is nothing more than about regime change....
Having the materials is one things.
Having all the advanced equipment necessary to turn it into a desired product is another thing.
That is the point.
You can have the materials but if you don't have the tools nothing can get made.You don't think all of that has been moved? And how will we ever know?
I’m no fan of the Iranian nuclear program. Which is why President Obama signed a treaty with Iran to dismantle it.
The only reason Iran is enriching uranium is because Trump tossed out the Obama-Iran treaty the minute he got into office.
This was all preventable.Were they enriching it before Trump? How do we know?
Before Trump there was the Iran nuclear deal negotiated by Obama and blown up by trump. Iran was complying with the deal, which included inspections by the International Atomic Energy Agency... We knew exactly what was going on at that point. Since Trump axed the deal, we know next to nothing. For all we know, they could have moved all of their uranium and equipment before this strike and are quite literally days away from assembling a weapon...OH WELL. America first right?
"After the Iran nuclear deal (JCPOA) ended, Iran has enriched uranium to levels significantly higher than the 3.67% limit previously agreed upon. Specifically, Iran has been enriching uranium up to 60% purity...."
https://www.armscontrol.org/factsheets/ … 20percent.
There he goes again, saying the quiet part out loud....cool plans? We all know how well regime change goes... How long do you think that will take? Boots on the ground for sure though right?
hey nothing says "America First" like regime change right?
Make Iran great again? Spare me .The Left’s Rage is a Symptom
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRq-vVptMOk
Good ten min break down.Victor Davis Hanson makes some excellent points.
I know those on the left wouldn't get what he is trying to communicate as he is telling the truth and stating facts.His inability to pronounce words really undermines his credibility....
Ken, I really admire Victor Davis Hanson! He absolutely nailed it (and always does) with his take on the far-left radicals. In my view, that group represents a small—but—loud minority on the left. The rest seem to be driven more by emotion than reason, often lacking basic common sense and, in many cases, consumed by a deep resentment toward anything traditionally American. Then there are those clinging to power in what feels like a fading political movement. Hanson has a way of cutting through the noise and clearly exposing the mindset of the left, he says what so many of us see but aren't always able to articulate. Thanks for posting the video.
The left hates law enforcement. Their national political power is sinking faster than the Titanic with their latest moves. The American people aren't buying what the democrats are selling.
What do they have left? The only card they know how to play: violence.
Dems Targeting Agents, Fueling Violence Spike
Assaults against ICE officers have surged by 700%, with Acting Director Todd Lyons accusing Democrats in Congress of inciting violence against agents by labeling them "terrorists" and "Nazis."
Lyons accused congressional Democrats on Saturday on Newsmax of putting Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents at risk, asserting they have effectively placed "a target on the backs" of law enforcement officers nationwide.
Appearing on "America Right Now," Lyons spoke openly about his fears concerning escalating violence against ICE officers. "That's one of the things that keeps me up at night consistently — the men and women of ICE, our local and state partners, and other federal partners that are helping us aren't safe right now," Lyons told host Tom Basile.
He highlighted alarming new figures from the Department of Homeland Security, underscoring a sharp increase in violence directed at ICE personnel. "We actually just broke a 700% increase over last year's numbers on assaults on ICE officers," he said.
Lyons cited a recent incident near Dallas as an example of the growing threat. "Just last night, we had an incident in the Dallas field office. A local police officer responding to protesters and fireworks outside the Prairieland detention facility in Alvarado, Texas, was shot in the neck. They were ambushed," Lyons explained, describing the situation as "unprecedented."
When asked about what could be done to protect law enforcement, Lyons explicitly blamed Democratic officials for stoking animosity toward ICE agents. "When you have elected officials, especially Democrats in Congress, calling us terrorists, calling us Nazis, saying it's OK to dox us, dox our families, that's not right," Lyons asserted. He added that such rhetoric was directly responsible for escalating threats and violence against ICE officers.
Lyons called for urgent support from political leaders at all levels, emphasizing the need for a unified front to protect those serving in immigration enforcement roles. "What we need is support from congressional leaders, from local leaders," he said. "These folks are out there protecting this nation every day."
The ICE chief further noted that violent demonstrations targeting his agency appear organized and well-funded. He assured viewers that federal authorities, including the FBI, IRS Criminal Investigators, and Homeland Security Investigations, are actively investigating these groups. "The Department of Justice has open cases on a lot of these individuals and corporations funding these protests," Lyons said.
Dispelling the notion that ordinary citizens were behind the unrest, Lyons emphasized the coordinated nature of the threats. "These aren't your average people," he insisted. "Most American citizens realize ICE is a law enforcement agency, a law enforcement tool. Everything we're doing has been on the books since the 1950s."
Lyons pledged continued vigilance in collaboration with federal law enforcement agencies to uncover and prosecute those orchestrating the violent backlash. "There is definitely a menacing group behind this, and we're working very hard with the Department of Justice to find them," he concluded.Of course the Left hates law enforcement, look at New York, Chicago, & Los Angeles.
Who is the "left" you speak of?
Sort of like the "right" who supports Trump's BFF looney loomer?
Maga is such an ugly party...
The violence of the left is a nation-wide problem.
DHS Monitoring Attacks Near ICE Facilities in Texas, Oregon
The Department of Homeland Security is closely monitoring a series of attacks near Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facilities that happened in Texas and Oregon.
"We are closely monitoring the attacks on DHS detention facilities in Prairieland, TX, and Portland, OR, and are coordinating with the USAOs and our law enforcement partners. The Department has zero tolerance for assaults on federal officers or property and will bring the full weight of the law against those responsible," U.S. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche posted on X.
Late Friday night a shooting occurred near the Prairieland Detention Center in Alvarado Texas. One officer was injured, and multiple armed suspects are in custody according to authorities. The injured officer was flown from the scene to a Fort Worth hospital, was treated and later released, according to the Alvarado Police Department.
In late June, multiple protesters were arrested following a violent confrontation outside an ICE detention center in Portland. Authorities said rioters used knives and Roman candle fireworks in an attempt to injure and intimidate officers.Absolutely, I completely agree, the violence and lawbreaking we are seeing is a serious nationwide problem that cannot be ignored any longer. Attacks on federal facilities and officers, like those near ICE centers in Texas and Oregon, are clear examples of this dangerous lawlessness. It’s outrageous that people would resort to knives, firearms, and fireworks to intimidate and harm law enforcement who are simply doing their jobs.
This kind of behavior threatens public safety and undermines the rule of law, and it needs to be stopped immediately and decisively. The Department of Homeland Security and law enforcement must have full support to crack down hard on these criminals. Severe penalties should be enforced to send a strong message: violence and attacks on federal officers and property will not be tolerated under any circumstances.
Our country depends on law and order, and we must demand accountability. The use of violence as a political tool only weakens America and puts innocent people in danger. It’s time for justice, swift, strict, and unyielding.
Thanks for keeping this critical issue at the forefront; fact and truth bring awareness.
Just watch the violence of the left at an ICE detention center.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xoJStXJYkksDo those people represent ALL of the "left"? Just asking for the rest of the left....
He cherry picks, doesn’t he always? Of course, you are NEVER going to see evidence of the contrary
You have access to the internet...prove me wrong.
These protests ARE the modern democrat party.
"The violent targeting of law enforcement in Los Angeles by lawless rioters is despicable and Mayor Bass and Governor Newsom must call for it to end," DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a Saturday statement. "The men and women of ICE put their lives on the line to protect and defend the lives of American citizens."
"Make no mistake, Democrat politicians like Hakeem Jeffries, Mayor Wu of Boston, Tim Walz, and Mayor Bass of Los Angeles are contributing to the surge in assaults of our ICE officers through their repeated vilification and demonization of ICE," McLaughlin stated. "From comparisons to the modern-day Nazi Gestapo to glorifying rioters, the violent rhetoric of these sanctuary politicians is beyond the pale. This violence against ICE must end."
The department says there’s been a 413% increase in assaults against ICE agents, which comes as the riots in Los Angeles are centered against the presence of the agency in the city.
"I’m gonna start with the flashing red light — Donald Trump’s modern-day Gestapo is scooping folks up off the streets," Walz claimed at a University of Minnesota law school commencement speech. "They’re in unmarked vans, wearing masks, being shipped off to foreign torture dungeons. No chance to mount a defense. Not even a chance to kiss a loved one goodbye. Just grabbed up by masked agents, shoved into those vans, and disappeared."
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/dhs-fi … nt-threats
They are motivated by the leaders on the left who refer to ICE agents as Nazis. Like former VP candidate Tim Waltz. He is not alone, there are others. There was even a California democrat leader who went on social media telling gangs to attack ICE agents.
I could go on.
Yes, this represents the will of the democrat leadership.Can you provide a link that anyone in the actual Democrat leadership called anyone a nazi?
This is just one of many. If I can find it I'm sure you can find it. This is reality. This is the modern democrat party. Attacking federal law enforcement who are trying to simply do their jobs and enforce immigration laws.
democrats, are, after all, the party of "defund the police."
democrats don't like law-abiding citizens and legal immigrants. It is the illegal immigrants and criminals democrats will always defend.
Tim Walz calls ICE a 'modern-day Gestapo.
“Donald Trump’s modern-day Gestapo is scooping folks up off the streets,” Walz said in his remarks.
The Gestapo became infamous for its brutality in Nazi Germany and German-occupied Europe during World War II. Today, the institution and its political policemen are symbols of authoritarian policing, according to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/pol … 746284007/I cant believe you are seriously asking this as that has been their talking point for years now. Leftists are calling anyone that says anything positive about Trump Nazi. Or maybe this is a trick question? Who do you consider actual Democrat leadership? From what I have seen all the Dems have is people who oppose Trump.
This is even more evidence the left has no ideas the majority of American like. Their popularity and support is at an all-time low. Do they map out ways they can change to better represent the American citizen. No. They pledge violence.
"Dem lawmakers say their voters are threatening 'blood' and 'violence' over inability to hinder Trump: report
Representatives describe pressure from base to get 'arrested intentionally' and embrace extreme tactics
Democratic lawmakers say their voters are enraged at the lack of ability to counter President Donald Trump's agenda, with some saying they could resort to "violence," Axios reported Monday.
The outlet says it spoke to over two dozen House Democrats to measure the temperature of the Democratic base. What it found was red-hot anger and a burgeoning desire to circumvent the rule of law, where explanations that Democrats simply don't hold enough power in Washington fall on deaf ears.
"We've got people who are desperately wanting us to do something... no matter what we say, they want [more]," Rep. Brad Schneider, D-Ill., told the outlet.
Most of the lawmakers spoke on condition of anonymity. Schneider's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.
"Our own base is telling us that what we're doing is not good enough... [that] there needs to be blood to grab the attention of the press and the public," one such lawmaker said.
Another said their constituents are convinced that "civility isn't working" and that they should prepare for "violence... to fight to protect our democracy."
A third lawmaker described some of the messages from people online as "crazy ****," saying that some told them to "storm the White House and stuff like that."
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.
Another lawmaker compared Democratic voters to the "Roman coliseum."
"People just want more and more of this spectacle," the lawmaker said.
Other constituents have insisted that lawmakers take on the risk themselves, with one lawmaker saying they were told they should be willing to get "shot."
"What I have seen is a demand that we get ourselves arrested intentionally or allow ourselves to be victims of violence, and... a lot of times that's coming from economically very secure White people," another lawmaker said.
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/dem-la … ump-reportIt’s become painfully clear that certain people in our society simply cannot accept outcomes they don’t like. You can present facts, common sense, or reason, but none of it penetrates the blind rage some folks are consumed by. It’s almost as if logic and civility are irrelevant to them the moment things don’t go their way.
This will likely get much worse, especially because Trump is doing a good job. You can see it in the numbers, the rallies, the policy discussions; he’s connecting with people and offering real solutions. That progress drives some on the left into deeper frustration and desperation.
The Axios report only reinforces what many of us have already noticed: when Democrats can't win through ideas or democratic processes, some of their supporters start turning to threats, even violence. That’s not the mark of a healthy movement; it’s a sign of a crumbling one. Instead of reassessing their platform to better represent the average American, they double down on division and outrage. It’s disturbing, but not surprising anymore.
It never stops. The violence of the left doesn't seem to ever stop.
'Targeted': Shooter tries ambushing U.S. Border Patrol officers, then pays ultimate price
'The Department of Justice has zero tolerance for assaults on federal officers or property and will bring the full weight of the law against those responsible'
A shooter, armed with a rifle and wearing tactical gear, tried an ambush of U.S. Border Patrol agents at a facility in McAllen, Texas, and was shot and killed, authorities reported.
"The Department [of Justice] has zero tolerance for assaults on federal officers or property and will bring the full weight of the law against those responsible," explained Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche.
Police reported the shooter wounded one officer, but he was in stable condition.
The dead man was identified as Ryan Louis Mosqueda, and reports revealed no known motive yet.
But they said it was a "targeted" attack on federal officers.
A report at the Washington Examiner explained border czar Tom Homan said on Fox News that attacks on ICE officers increased since last year by 690% as of July 4.
He blamed, in part, leftist rhetoric constantly being unleashed by opponents of President Donald Trump who are in Congress.
"We have senators, we have congresspeople, that compare ICE to the Nazis, compare ICE to racists, and it just continues. The public thinks, 'well if a member of Congress can attack ICE, why can't we,'" he said.
From Jan. 21 to June 20 of last year there were 10 attacks on ICE agents, the report said. This year during the same time, there have been 79.

Watch this edition of Laura Ingraham.
She covers the violence of the left and their leaders perfectly.
It's how the left green-lights violence.
https://www.foxnews.com/video/6375346037112Yes, Laura did a great job exposing the left’s bizarre behavior, their toxic words, right from their mouths. The words from these nut jobs go straight to the facts and highlight just how deeply disturbed and dangerous some of these people have become. It's all too clear, especially with the growing wave of violence we’re witnessing from the left, just how much of a threat they pose to our society.
Just when you thought the left couldn't get any more sick and twisted they descend to another level. The violence of the left knows no boundaries.
"Democrats told to "get shot" for the anti-Trump resistance
At town halls in their districts and in one-on-one meetings with constituents and activists, Democratic members of Congress are facing a growing thrum of demands to break the rules, fight dirty — and not be afraid to get hurt.
Why it matters: House Democrats told Axios they see a growing anger among their base that has, in some cases, morphed into a disregard for American institutions, political traditions and even the rule of law.
"This idea that we're going to save every norm and that we're not going to play [Republicans'] game ... I don't think that's resonating with voters anymore," said one House Democrat.
Another told Axios that a "sense of fear and despair and anger" among voters "puts us in a different position where ... we can't keep following norms of decorum."
Axios spoke to more than two dozen House Democrats for this story, with many requesting anonymity to offer candid insights about their interactions with constituents and activists.
Zoom out: For months, Democratic lawmakers have fumed that their base's demands to "fight harder" misunderstand the lack of legislative and investigative power afforded to the minority party in Congress.
"We've got people who are desperately wanting us to do something ... no matter what we say, they want [more]," Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Ill.), the chair of the center-left New Democrat Coalition, told Axios.
Liberal voters have angrily accosted Democrats at town halls for — in their view — not doing enough to counter President Trump's agenda.
In response, some Democrats have tried to up the ante: Heckling Trump, mounting rogue impeachment attempts, and getting tackled by law enforcement and even indicted in their efforts to scrutinize the president's deportation campaign.
What we're hearing: The grassroots wants more. "Some of them have suggested ... what we really need to do is be willing to get shot" when visiting ICE facilities or federal agencies, a third House Democrat told Axios.
"Our own base is telling us that what we're doing is not good enough ... [that] there needs to be blood to grab the attention of the press and the public," the lawmaker said.
A fourth House Democrat said constituents have told them "civility isn't working" and to prepare for "violence ... to fight to protect our democracy."
A fifth House Democrat told Axios that "people online have sent me crazy s*** ... told me to storm the White House and stuff like that," though they added that "there's always people on the internet saying crazy stuff."
Between the lines: While other Democratic lawmakers said their discussions haven't gone that far, nearly every one who spoke to Axios cited examples of voters' panic and fury fueling demands to adopt brute force tactics.
A sixth House Democrat said that when they try to persuade voters to channel their frustration into a focus on winning back Congress in 2026, "people who are angry don't accept that. They're angry beyond things."
"It's like ... the Roman coliseum. People just want more and more of this spectacle," said a seventh lawmaker.
What they're saying: Schneider, like other Democrats, said Trump impeachment efforts have proven extremely popular with grassroots voters and that, even as he has tried to shoot them down as impractical, some simply find the idea "irresistible."
Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.), a high-profile progressive, said he believes "the most effective pushback to Trump's unconstitutional actions is to model a reverence for the Constitution and the rule of law."
Zoom in: Many lawmakers said these voters tend to be white, well-educated and live in upscale suburban or urban neighborhoods.
"What I have seen is a demand that we get ourselves arrested intentionally or allow ourselves to be victims of violence, and ... a lot of times that's coming from economically very secure white people," said an eighth House Democrat.
"Not only would that be a gift to Donald Trump, not only would it make the job of Republicans in Congress easier if we were all mired in legal troubles ... [we are] a group that is disproportionately people of color, women, LGBTQ people — people who do not fare very well in prison."
The bottom line: "The expectations aren't just unreal. They're dangerous," the eighth House Democrat said.
A ninth lawmaker told Axios: "I actually said in a meeting, 'When they light a fire, my thought is to grab an extinguisher,'" a ninth House Democrat told Axios.
"And someone at the table said, 'Have you tried gasoline?'"
https://www.axios.com/2025/07/07/democr … e-congressI mean, it’s always easier to tell someone else to take the bullet—LOL. What a bunch of tools! Seriously, could they look any worse? Could they stoop any lower? This really reminds me of their promotion of violence during the so-called "Summer of Love," when, tragically, 25 people actually lost their lives.
Funny how the left mob has already jumped onto a new issue, just yesterday, their hair was on fire over the death and destruction in Gaza. For most of Biden’s term, we saw protests demanding an end to the killing there, but Biden ignored those cries. Trump didn’t; he worked to bring about a ceasefire and stop the violence. It seems the left mob ignored that and is now hyped up about something else. Honestly, how much more ridiculous can this bunch get?
"Could they stoop any lower? "
Who is "they"?The left and the leaders of the left.
It's obvious who is being discussed.The sweeping generalizations are becoming really tiresome...
"how much more ridiculous can this bunch get?"
I hate saying such a thing because the left will consider it a challenge and be determined to out-ridiculous their previous behavior.
That IS kind of scary.This is deeply unsettling. Where do they go from here? It’s clear that some Democrats in Washington are pushing rhetoric that borders on inciting violence. Asking for "blood". It feels like a desperate move, a dangerous one, that has already ended up with ICE agents being injured.
However, if a congressperson were to incite violence, obstruct justice, or attempt to undermine a federal agency, they could potentially be charged with crimes, such as inciting a riot
Obstruction of justice
Abuse of office
Sedition (which is separate from treason)
It would seem they need to dial it down, or they could find themselves in legal trouble. The dog whistles are dangerous.Heard today that the judge spiriting an illegal alien out of the arms of ICE failed in her attempt to get the charges dismissed. She WILL go to trial. Given the circumstances it would take a jury composed of liars to fail to find guilt.
Hopefully we will see others in the same boat.ChatGPT said:
Absolutely agree. It's good to hear that the judge who interfered with ICE won’t be let off the hook without facing trial. Given the facts—video evidence, verbal confirmation, and the blatant nature of her actions—it really does seem cut and dry. Like you said, it would take a jury full of liars or political activists to ignore the obvious.
Your point is right on: this is good news, and it will be an interesting case to watch. The fact that someone in a position of authority could so brazenly help an illegal alien evade federal law enforcement is shocking. If we want any kind of order or respect for the rule of law, this kind of behavior must be held accountable. Hopefully, this sets a precedent, and we’ll see others who’ve acted similarly brought to justice too.
Clearly a true case of TDS.
Border Patrol Agents have found 10,000 children lost under the biden administration.
A marijuana farm in California is raided and saves illegal alien children from terrible work conditions.
What do democrats do? Praise ICE agents for saving children? No, they attack ICE agents. Insult them and threaten them. THIS is the violent, criminal-loving left. This behavior is promoted by their leaders.
"border officials have rescued 10,000 kids lost under Biden
'We are looking for over 300,000 missing children. We've already found around 10,000, have you heard that anywhere? No, because the media's simply not covering it'
Border czar Tom Homan said on Friday that border officials have rescued roughly 10,000 of the 300,000 unaccompanied migrant children that went missing under former President Joe Biden's administration.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raided a marijuana facility in Camarillo, California, where they encountered eight unaccompanied minors and two other juveniles, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Commissioner Rodney Scott confirmed on Thursday. Homan said on "Fox & Friends" that around 10,000 of these children have been recovered since President Donald Trump reentered office.
"We are looking for over 300,000 missing children. We've already found around 10,000, have you heard that anywhere? No, because the media's simply not covering it," Homan said. "And look, this should be a non-partisan issue. Arresting public safety threats and national security threats, everyone should be on the same page on that. Rescuing children, I mean, that should be a non-partisan issue."
Around 291,000 unaccompanied migrant children received no court notices after they illegally crossed the U.S.-Mexico border, and ICE lost track of over 32,000 children who had been released from custody since 2019, a report by the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) Office of the Inspector General (OIG) found in August 2024.
Under the Biden administration, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the agency responsible for placing children with adult sponsors, reunited about one-third of unaccompanied children with their parents, The New York Times reported. The remainder were sent to live with relatives or even to homes that were not deemed suitable for children, according to an internal investigation by the inspector general.
Democrats have raged at ICE for the arrests at the Glass House Farms, including Democrat California Gov. Gavin Newsom, who called Trump "scum."
"Kids running from tear gas, crying on the phone because their mother was just taken from the fields. Trump calls me 'Newscum' — but he's the real scum," Newsom said on X.
Federal agents clashed with protesters at the farm, prompting the agents to toss tear gas and smoke bombs to make the protesters back away, Fox News reported. U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California Bill Essayli announced that $50,000 will be awarded to anyone with information about an unknown individual who appeared to fire a pistol at federal law enforcement.
