Two Columbia University students who rushed to join NYU’s violent anti-Israel rally are going viral after admitting they had no idea what the protest was about — and wished they were “more educated.” The unidentified students rattled off their clueless rationale on the steps of the NYU campus in downtown Manhattan as a slew of NYPD cops clad in riot gear stood in the background, as seen in footage viewed more than 3 million times since being shared by former Mayor Rudy Giuliani late Wednesday. “I think the main goal is just showing our support for Palestine and demanding that...

On the evening of Dec. 16, 1773, a crowd of armed men, some allegedly wearing costumes meant to disguise them as Native American warriors, boarded three ships docked at Griffin’s Wharf in Boston. In the vessels’ holds were 340 chests containing 92,000 pounds of tea, the most popular drink in America. With support from the patriot group known as the Sons of Liberty, the intruders methodically searched the ships and dumped their tea into Boston Harbor. According to the British East India Company, whose proprietors owned the destroyed cargo, losses totaled more than a million dollars in today’s currency. The...

Stephen Talbot knew that taking on a project about the Vietnam War was going to be an incredible task. There were going to be hours of research, as well as dozens of interviews planned. Then the pandemic hit in March 2020 and it looked like the project wasn’t going to move forward. Then Talbot got an idea. “I thought, what if I did all of the interviews audio only,” he says. “This made sure everyone was safe and I had the information that I needed.” Flash forward a few years and Talbot’s “The Movement and the ‘Madman’ ” will premiere...

Antifa accounts on Twitter are sharing instructions on how to make dangerous projectile weapons in anticipation of summer protests against children's drag and trans performances. Rise Up Printings, an Antifa propaganda design collective based in Missouri, posted a thread about making "paint bombs" from household paint, directed at Gays Against Groomers, an LGBT group critical of radical trans ideology. Rise Up Printings tweeted: "Anti-trans hate groups are planning to actively show up to to [sic] Pride Events this June. That being said, here's how to make a Paint Balloon."

President Trump has called on supporters to protest his expected arrest next week by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg on bogus charges arising out of the alleged 2016 Stormy Daniels hush money arrangement. Several so-called influencers are warning supporters to stay home to avoid being entrapped by the feds into another January 6 riot. As one of the most experienced conservative street activists who was active in our Nation’s Capital for over a decade, I want to offer my advice on whether to go out and protest (yes) and how to do it. First, some background. I was active in...

Over the past two years or so, the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) influence over governments and institutions of sovereign nations has become increasingly apparent. Founded in 1971 by German economist Klaus Schwab, the WEF has remained fairly under the radar for decades. However, the organization has been quietly expanding its icy grip around the throats of the world’s population by installing operatives in the upper echelons of governments and corporations. This influence has expanded so far that Schwab and his allies appear to have given up trying to conceal their agenda and even openly gloat about controlling nations’ leaders. When...

[H/T Melian]Q is the result of the sacrifices and commitment of countless patriots to win back our captured country from the Deep State and achieve the transformation President Trump promised in this campaign video. President Trump has said the awakening of the public is key to this transformation.Q describes this awakening as follows: "The Great Awakening ('Freedom of Thought’), was designed and created not only as a backchannel to the public (away from the longstanding 'mind’ control of the corrupt & heavily biased media) to endure future events through transparency and regeneration of individual thought (breaking the chains of ‘group-think’),...

On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher criticized the Biden White House for its stance on the protests taking place outside the private homes of Supreme Court justices and stated that there is an official government position on these protests, which is, “It’s wrong. It’s intimidation. It’s against the law.” Maher said, “[C]ertainly, the Press [Secretary] at the White House is down with this. Jen Psaki said — asked about this, these are people who are demonstrating outside the houses of the Supreme Court justices, she said, ‘I don’t have an official U.S. government position on where...

GoFundMe says it won’t be giving the C$10 million ($8 million USD) raised to support the truckers protesting COVID-19 mandates to the organizers anymore, saying it will instead work with the organizers to send the funds to “established charities verified by GoFundMe.” “To ensure GoFundMe remains a trusted platform, we work with local authorities to ensure we have a detailed, factual understanding of events taking place on the ground,” the fundraising platform said in a statement on Feb. 4. “Following a review of relevant facts and multiple discussions with local law enforcement and city officials, this fundraiser is now in...

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau derided Canadians who protested against him at a campaign stop in Newmarket, ON, lashing out at what he called “anti-vaxxer mobs” who are “racist,” “mysoginistic, and “don’t believe in science.” While speaking with reporters on Sunday in Welland, ON, Trudeau was asked about those who demonstrated against him a day earlier in Newmarket. He remarked:

CNN political commentator Van Jones on Wednesday reacted to former Minnesota police officer Derek Chauvin’s conviction on three charges in the death of George Floyd. Jones told “New Day” that the verdict can be “something new.” He said the people voting and protesting “worked” to bring justice to Floyd and his family.

Everybody knows that nature abhors a vacuum. Well, we saw how successful the Tea Party protests were. But for decades, we've had a cancer that looks down on the constitutionally required act of protesting, as if that's just "a left wing thing". This is a widespread viewpoint among Establishment Republican, but its prevalence is both wide and deep and not limited to them. It stands as a good topic for discussion. What kind of vacuum have you created by not protesting? There was no protest last April 15th, there have not been any protests in front of the Supreme Court...

MCENANY:  Good afternoon, everyone.  The President has made clear that what we are seeing on America’s streets is unacceptable.  Violence, looting, anarchy, lawlessness are not to be tolerated, plain and simple.  These criminal acts are not protest.  They are not statements.  These are crimes that harm innocent American citizens.The First Amendment guarantees the right of the people to peaceably assemble.  What we saw last night in Washington and across the country was not that.To that end, President Trump is demanding action to protect American citizens, to protect American businesses. ...

Thanks to Second Amendment supporters around the Commonwealth ceaselessly voicing their opposition to a sweeping gun ban, the Senate Judiciary Committee voted 10-5 to reject House Bill 961 on February 17th. Bloomberg’s House majority in the General Assembly is not going to deliver their most coveted agenda item to their billionaire master. House Bill 961 was a comprehensive ban on many commonly-owned semi-automatic firearms, suppressors, and standard capacity magazines. The original bill sought to impose a licensing and registration scheme for citizens who wish to keep affected firearms they lawfully owned prior to the ban, with felony penalties for noncompliance....

All of these NFL players and now MLB players who are protesting the symbols and institutions of the United States are at best hypocrites and at worst liars. They have every right to protest any perceived insult or unfairness that they think exists, and I have the right to call the liars and hypocrites for it…It is after all my opinion…and it appears that opinion is all that counts nowadays. If you’re wondering why I use the specific term hypocrite or liar, let me explain. They say they are protesting because of injustice, institutionalized racism and inequality. But let’s look...

In London, a peaceful march takes place that includes members of the Gay, Sikh and Black community; they march under the banner “Unite Against Hate”, but the BBC and other “progressive” news outlets are calling them “Far Right” and are not reporting on the violent attacks being perpetrated AGAINST them. The simple reason for this is because they are protesting Sharia Law. What’s not to protest??? The BBC talks of bottle and flares thrown during the March…And neglect to say that it was the “anti-racicst” protestors throwing things and assaulting peaceful marchers.
