#FoxNews' #LaraLogan said on #LauraIngraham's show that #ANTIFA "professional agitators" are behind the riots springing up across America following the death of #GeorgeFloyd at the hands of #Minnesota police. Lara Logan said ANTIFA agitators who are mostly White outsiders, are only "exploiting" #BlackLivesMatter to achieve their anarchist agenda, and have zero interest in racial justice. Even though she didn't explicitly say so, it was hard to miss the #terrorism theme behind Lara Logan's report

The Obama administration warns that gridlock in Washington will lead to gridlock across the country if lawmakers can’t quickly agree on how to pay for highway and transit programs. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx said Tuesday that states will begin to feel the pain of cutbacks in highway and transit aid as soon as the first week in August—peak summer driving time. That’s because the balance in the federal Highway Trust Fund is dropping and will soon go below $4 billion. …

I don't know about you, but I'm getting fed up with these self-important gangs of masked, black-clad agitators running roughshod over our city streets. They've occupied parks, shut down roadways, vandalized private property, assaulted law-abiding citizens and left entire communities afraid to venture into financially struggling downtown business districts. They've wielded spray cans and left behind eyesores that have incensed the community. I am speaking, of course, about the police.

In response to rumors, lies, and hearsay that have circulated regarding the 12/12 Walmart Action, we, as the General Assembly of Occupy Denver and the planners of the action in Loveland, hereby reaffirm that the 12/12 Action is and has always been a non-violent action, and that we do not and have never condoned or sanctioned violence of any kind or the destruction of property.......

Boston finally ousted its dirty smelly hippies from its park, but not before Occupy had wrecked the place, just as they wrecked Portland’s city parks, Zuccotti Park in New York and just about everywhere else they parked their fat, lazy butts. Dan O’Brien of the Boston Herald described the mess: The Utopian dreamers of Occupy Boston are leaving behind a disgusting field of filth on the formerly scenic Rose Kennedy Greenway, where trees will have to be replanted, grass resodded, sprinklers repaired or replaced and the entire area power-hosed in a massive cleanup that could take weeks. “We’re close to...

Ever since September, when activists heeded Adbusters editor Kalle LasnÂ’s call to Occupy Wall Street, itÂ’s become a rite of passage for reporters, bloggers, and video trackers to go to the occupiersÂ’ tent cities and comment on what they see. Last week, the day after New York mayor Michael Bloomberg ordered the NYPD to dismantle the tent city in Zuccotti Park in Lower Manhattan, the New York Times carried no fewer than half a dozen articles on the subject. Never in living memory has such a small political movement received such disproportionate attention from the press. Never in living memory...

A pair of dolphins may have died after being fed drugs by ravers after a second animal died. Police looking into the deaths in Connyland, Lipperswil, Switzerland, initially thought the deafening music from the rave may have killed dolphins Shadow and Chelmers. But zoo vets are awaiting toxicology test results to see if they were poisoned by narcotics thrown into their enclosure during the rave. Shadow was found soon after the event but Chelmers died two days later after a 'drawn out and painful' death. Connyland keeper Nadja Gasser told local media: 'The death was very drawn out and painful....

For those old enough to remember the protests of the 1960s and 70s, Occupy Wall Street has revisited that era. Folk legends Pete Seeger and Arlo Guthrie, joined the ever growing movement and marched with the group in New York City singing Seeger's signature, We Will Overcome. Seeger is now 92 and walks with two canes; Guthrie is 64 and a long way from Alice's Restaurant. Seeger, a lifelong activist, is best known for penning the infamous, "If I Had a Hammer," " Turn, Turn, Turn" and "Where Have all the Flowers Gone?" After performing on Friday evening at Symphony...

Columnists and reporters have been falling over themselves trying to analyze how the Occupy Wall Street protests compare to the tea party movement. But they’ve failed, says One Nation Back to God founder the Rev. C.L. Bryant, to treat both movements fairly. In a compelling interview with The Daily Caller’s Ginni Thomas, Rev. Bryant, who used to be a rising star on the left, laid out the differences he sees between the two movements and how the media is treating them. “It’s amazing to see that the ‘occupiers’ of Wall Street are basically white kids, and they’re dressed fairly well...

Taking the hypocrisy and depraved sanctimony that characterize liberalism to a new extreme of self-parody, useless trust fund moonbats have formed a tax-exempt corporation to enforce their demand that other rich people who,unlike themselves,actually earned their money turn over more of it to be flagrantly wasted by bureaucrats. "Our current tax system perpetuates inequality," [bleats] Elspeth Gilmore. "Wealthy people can really change that narrative." Gilmore is the co-director of Resource Generation, a national nonprofit [i.e., tax exempt] organization that supports and challenges young, progressive people with wealth to leverage their privilege and resources for social change.

Alegislative proposal that was once on the fast track is suddenly dead. The Senate will not consider a plan to extract billions in extra taxes from megamillionaire hedge fund managers. The decision by Senate majority leader Harry Reid, the Nevada Democrat, surprised many Washington insiders, who saw the plan as appealing to the spirit of class warfare that infuses the Democratic party. Liberal disappointment in Mr Reid was palpable at media outlets such as USA Today, where an editorial chastised: "The Democrats, who control Congress and claim to represent the middle and lower classes, ought to be embarrassed." Far from...

For the burgs: A liberal checklist By Howie Carr Boston Herald Columnist Sunday, June 4, 2006 It used to be that there were only a handful of People’s Republics among the Commonwealth’s 351 cities and towns. You had Cambridge, Amherst, Lincoln, Brookline and a couple of others. These are the la-de-da burgs that erect walls and speed bumps at the town line to keep out the city riffraff who make up that wonderful diversity the suburban swells claim to celebrate. Only last week Brookline Town Meeting called for the impeachment of President Bush. The problem is that the Brookline Syndrome...
