News outlets like CNN were more than willing to share those moments with their audience. But now that the shoe is on the other foot, let the pitiful whining begin.

This time from Dr. Anthony Fauci; an unelected federal official whose very words can lead to national mask mandates he and other progressive elites selectively observe, shutdowns, and other policies that negatively affect hundreds of millions of America on a whim. When suggested the same tactics used by liberals be used against him, cue the violins.

Well, we went in another direction….

And it got even more scary.

This is a systematic attempt by the leadership of Fox News to target not only the science, not only to discredit vaccines, but to put a target on the back of scientists — prominent U.S. scientists. And it’s not only Fox News. This is coming from all of the major conservative news outlets … and it’s coming from members of the United States Congress, who say things to incite violence against scientists.

Oh, really…?

It’s coming from the conservative news outlets. It’s coming from a group of contrarian intellectuals from far-right-wing think tanks. This is a coordinated effort as part of an authoritarian attempt to discredit science, discredit scientists. And it’s a very scary time for a number of us.
— Dr. Peter Hotez on CNN

Let’s not forget on several occasions, California Congresswoman Maxine Waters made direct threats of violence against President Trump and called for increased bullying of Trump officials in public places. A Republican congressman was shot at a baseball practice by a Bernie Sanders supporter, a Republican senator was attacked and beaten by a rabid Democrat on his own lawn, and protesters shouted with bullhorns in front of cabinet members’ homes. To date, NO Democrat elected or official has been physically attacked by a conservative, that is if you don’t count the January 6 drama that was peaceful until left wing agitators and Deep State law enforcement informants and instigators arrived at the Capitol.

This is not to say rudeness is encouraged, but when it’s okay to humiliate government officials one day (free speech), it should also be considered fair game to confront Democrat taxpayer-funded officials and ask questions a biased media will not.

That goes for mini-tyrant Dr. Anthony Fauci whose NIH salary reached $434,312.00 in 2020.

The Justice Department revealed new charges against a Texas man who allegedly participated in the Capitol attack and posted online death threats against Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and a US Capitol Police officer.

Garret Miller of Texas faces five criminal charges stemming from the Capitol insurrection, including trespassing offenses and making death threats. Miller allegedly tweeted, “assassinate AOC,” according to court documents.
— CNN, 1/23/21

While we’re not supporting any kind of violent speech anywhere, let alone on social media where relative anonymity creates courage, people like Miller (as well as others captured following the “riot”) are not characteristic of those who attended Tea Party and Trump rallies.

In the ongoing displays of double standards, the level of law enforcement reaction and media outrage has been significantly higher when it comes to threats directed at AOC than was President Donald Trump. While social media posters and celebrities issued threats to the president and once busted gave the usual “was joking” response, some of the offending product is still readily found online and it’s safe to assume none of them have been arrested or charged.

Here’s just a few examples of death threats directed at President Trump while #KillTrump is a currently acceptable hashtag on Twitter. Yes, some of these captures are old but they haven’t been scrubbed either and we all know #BigTech knows how to make things they find offensive go away.

Had people in #BigTech put as much effort into taking down offending posts and social media accounts with the same zeal they did keeping Hunter Biden stories off their platforms prior to the presidential election, maybe some people would get it into their heads that either calling for the death of anyone (let alone bravely asking someone else to do it) is a bad thing. The possible ramifications could’ve been profound. Maybe congressmen wouldn’t have been shot during a baseball practice in Virginia or a senator wouldn’t have been near beaten to death on his front lawn.

Wouldn’t want to leave them out another of today’s realities that threats to kill police are also enjoyable, protected free speech.

But hey, it’s all in good humor when death threats are directed towards Republicans and an actionable outrage should they be directed at a Democrat.

Those are the rules.

While the media shields their young “left wing” offspring from any stink of violence they almost always bring with them, what’s left in their wake is reality to those in the affected communities.

The demonstrators were often indiscriminate, frequently targeting the businesses and prized possessions of people of color. They smashed a hair salon, a pharmacy and several restaurants. Police in riot gear tried to control the crowd, but some people retreated along 14th Street and bashed cars along the way.

All remnants of a violent protest Saturday night, when 100 people gathered after the George Zimmerman verdict was read, marched through downtown Oakland and left destruction in their wake. At Flora, on the corner of 19th and Telegraph, employees and patrons had to duck for cover under tables as the restaurant’s windows shattered around them.

Down the block, Sears has been a target during past demonstrations. On Saturday night, the business sustained the worst damage yet. Witnesses say the protesters used weights to smash nearly 30 windows and doors. Despite all the damage, there were no arrests and no injuries.

Los Angeles police said about 150 people splintered off from a peaceful vigil in the Crenshaw area on Monday, some of them jumping on cars and breaking windows at fast-food outlets. Several protesters vandalised a Walmart in the neighbourhood. Aerial broadcast news footage showed troublemakers kicking and punching people on the street.

Buildings and cars across the city were engulfed in flames. About a dozen businesses looted or damaged. At least 15 officers were wounded, six of them seriously, the police commissioner said. Late Monday night, CNN crews saw looters breaking in through the roof of a Baltimore liquor store. They were tossing bottles and cans of alcohol onto the street below.

With thousands of people already packed into stands and music blaring to warm up the crowd, Donald J. Trump’s campaign abruptly canceled his rally here on Friday night over security concerns as protesters clashed with his supporters inside an arena where he was to speak.

Protesters were jubilant, some protesters shut down lanes of a nearby expressway. Arguments and small skirmishes broke out along the streets. At one point, the police rushed in, separating people. At least one man was hit on the head with a police baton, witnesses said, and blood could be seen coming from a gash on his face. A woman, also bloodied, was led away by police.
— New York Times, 3/12/16

Protests outside a Donald Trump rally in downtown San Jose spun out of control Thursday night when some demonstrators attacked the candidate’s supporters. Protesters jumped on cars, pelted Trump supporters with eggs and water balloons, snatched signs and stole “Make America Great” hats off supporters’ heads before burning the hats and snapping selfies with the charred remains.

Several people were caught on camera punching Trump supporters. At least one attacker was arrested, according to CNN, although police did not release much information.

After a night of violent protests, tensions remained high in Milwaukee as residents gathered Sunday to mourn an armed man shot to death by police. Sylville Smith’s sister Sherelle urged protesters to take the violence elsewhere, sobbing as she lamented that she would never be able to again hug her brother.

“Take that shit to the suburbs. Burn that shit down,” Smith said. “You all want to hurt somebody, take that further out. Don’t bring it here.”

One person was shot Wednesday night and four officers were injured as a second round of protests gripped this North Carolina city in the wake of a police-involved shooting of a black man.

The Charlotte Chamber of Commerce expressed its condolences to Keith Lamont Scott’s family, as well as to those injured in the protests, while calling on business owners to be prepared for any new violence. It said businesses should “keep everything as normal as possible,” but also take care to remove or chain down all tables, chairs, signs or planters.

There are no comparative set of incidents where conservatives have ever behaved in this manner during any event where they were relatively left alone.

Despite FBI, DOJ announcements, repeated by self-important nonprofits who send talking points to a receptive media, you can’t find news stories of Tea Party and other conservative rallies that descend into orgies of violence and mass property damage. It never occurs to “right wingers” to deliberately break the law. At the many conservative rallies we’ve attended over the years, police presence is a formality when large groups who’ve obtained permits congregate. In many instances, you see attendees conversing with calm, smiling law enforcement personnel.

A senior FBI counterterrorism official, speaking on condition of anonymity to brief reporters in May, said the bureau had recorded a “significant” rise in cases involving “racially motivated extremism” since last fall. He declined to provide specifics, or attribute what might be behind the spike.

Overall, FBI agents have arrested more suspects in domestic terrorism investigations in the last three years than in probes with an international nexus — 355 people versus 310. The FBI did not provide a breakdown of charges lodged against the suspects, or the status of their cases.
— Los Angeles Times, 8/10/19

Based on past behavior, when inconvenient facts damage a liberal narrative, that’s usually when you hear from those “speaking on condition of anonymity” and information to back up public declarations are not provided.

Just take their word for it, no matter how slanderous the implications.

It’s almost always when the left enters the equation where all bets are off, confrontations ensue, violence erupts, people are injured or worse, surrounding property is vandalized, and as long as the incidents are isolated, the “left wing” participation is labeled as “mostly peaceful” and are thus omitted from the list of potentially hate-filled terror events.

“The far left is very active in the United States, but it hasn’t been particularly violent for some time,” says Mark Pitcavage, a senior research fellow at the Anti-Defamation League’s Center on Extremism. He says the numbers between the groups don’t compare.

This piece was posted in response of the shooting of Congressman Steve Scalise by a Bernie Sanders supporter.

Pitcavage says Wednesday’s shooting attack on Republican members of Congress is a warning sign. He is especially concerned because the shooter apparently was not particularly extreme in his political ideas; his views were seemingly in the mainstream left.
— NPR, 6/16/17

If James T. Hodgkinson was “seemingly in the mainstream left”, we have more of a problem than is being portrayed.

When you can choose which incidents will be labeled as “right wing”, “extreme”,  and omit the affiliations of “left wing” offenders, you can make your ideologic opponent look as bad as you want. When you control the designation of numbers, you can create any impression you want. When people on the right are hurt by the left, there’s confined outrage but when someone on the left loses a life, they are eulogized.

Heather Heyer, the anti-racism activist killed at the Charlottesville white nationalist protests, died as a result of blunt-force injury to the chest, according to a medical report. Heyer, a 32-year-old paralegal, died after a car drove into a crowd of counterprotesters demonstrating against a white nationalist rally being held in the Virginia town on August 12.

Nineteen other protesters were injured after being hit by the vehicle.
— Newsweek, 10/17/17

Despite warnings from the Virginia governor to stay away, left wing counterprotesters arrived and ramped up a legally permitted gathering that no one would’ve missed had it not been amplified by attention-seekers on social media. Violence, as usual, came with them… from both sides.

Now, do you really think Katie Couric would’ve shown up for an obscure “right wing” protest, to create a definitive documentation of the event, if she knew the left wouldn’t be there and what that would become?

And again, let’s not forget why all of this is happening. Donald Trump beat Hillary Clinton, the left refuses to this day to accept the result of the 2016 presidential election. We would not have a #Resistance or an emboldened anarchist Antifa had Hillary won, so the aftermath of disruptive violence is all on the left.

That’s why “mostly peaceful” left wing protesters can and will get as violent as they want. They enjoy the buffer of a like-minded liberal media that has no problem providing cover for those who have to hide their faces behind black masks, just as Democrats defended those in the white hoods.

Had Hillary Clinton won the 2016 presidential election, it would be demanded that Republicans respect the will of the people and they would as they always have. There would be no Indivisible, #Resist or #Resistance movement. But because she lost and Democrats decided they wouldn’t respect the agreed-to process of Electoral College results and not a goal post-moving popular vote, the left has given themselves license to act out in any fashion current events dictate.

Their violence is clearly on the uptick and it’s only a matter of time where their violence is no longer just reactionary but on the offense.

Shots fired at ICE Administrative Offices in San Antonio, Tex. are setting off alarm bells for what officials say has become a dangerous trend.

“To fire indiscriminately into any building- let alone a federal building, let alone a federal facility- is not an act of protest. It is an act of violence,” said Christopher Combs, FBI Special Agent in charge of San Antonio’s Division.

This targeted attack on ICE is one of four in the last month or so, the others occurring in Tacoma, Washington, Aurora Colorado and Washington, D.C. “We cannot allow political discourse to lead us to the point of violence where federal employees innocent people doing their jobs are put into harm’s way”, Combs said.

This follows a string of rallies, including on the streets of New York, the blocking of buildings and roads in Washington D.C. and the removal of an American flag at an ICE facility in Aurora, Colorado later replaced it with a Mexican flag and defaced “Blue Lives Matter’ one.

Republicans and conservatives traditionally do not take to the streets, disrupting traffic and committing acts of vandalism as a pattern of “peaceful protest”. Republicans and conservatives don’t trash areas where they’ve actually take the time to obtain permits for their rallies. Liberals routinely do all of the above and they’ve taken it to the next level.

FBI agents are searching for suspects in connection with shots fired at two ICE buildings early Tuesday morning. The shooting first reported took place around 3 a.m. Tuesday on the 1700 block of NE Loop 410 near Brookhaven Drive. We’re told another shooting happened at a separate ICE facility around the same time. Investigators say that multiple shots were fired on two floors targeting ICE officials. No one was hit, but windows were broken in the building. One person was injured, it’s not clear how they were, though.

“I don’t think there’s a question that they knew which floors the ice offices were,” FBI Special Agent in Charge Chris Combs said Tuesday. The building shot at has multiple tenants, with the ICE facility located on upper floors. “All of the shots that we have found are on the floors where ICE had offices,” Combs explained. “This is no question a very targeted attack. It’s not a secret facility, you can go online, it’s out there. So they did some research, they knew what floors ICE was on, they knew what buildings they were and and they hit those.”

ICE ERO San Antonio Field Office Director Daniel Bible says the national discourse surrounding ICE and the topic of immigration is reckless, blaming today’s shooting on politicians, media and activists.

“This attack at the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) Field Office in San Antonio is completely without justification,” said Bible. “Political rhetoric and misinformation that various politicians, media outlets and activist groups recklessly disseminate to the American people regarding the ICE mission only serve to further encourage these violent acts. ICE officers put their lives on the line each and every day to keep our communities safe. This disturbing public discourse shrouds our critical law enforcement function and unnecessarily puts our officers’ safety at risk.”
— News 4 San Antonio, 8/13/19

Like college professors and/or high school teachers who inspire their students to risk arrest and possible injury to participate in any manner of protest while staying behind in the safety of their faculty lounges, media and the activist/pundit class inspire aggressive acts from the safety of their studios and offices.

This was at least the fourth act of aggression directed at ICE offices since early July. Protesters outside a facility in Aurora, Colorado pulled down an American flag and raised a Mexican one in its place on July 12. Two days later, a self-described anti-fascist apparently tried to set an ICE facility on fire in Tacoma, Washington. On July 16, nearly a dozen protesters were arrested for unlawfully entering ICE offices in Washington, D.C.

At a time when many Democrats say President Trump bears some responsibility for a mass shooting in El Paso allegedly driven by anti-immigrant anger, some Republicans maintain anti-ICE rhetoric by prominent Democrats like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is encouraging violence on the left.

Ocasio-Cortez is one of many Democrats who have lashed out at ICE in recent months over the treatment of migrant families detained at the southern border and undocumented immigrants swept up in raids inside the country. She and others have called for the agency to be abolished.
— KTVL CBS10

Of course, when those who intentionally block the freedom of movement of others find themselves in the peril, the media chooses sides and affords them victim status.

The protesters were sitting on the pavement to block staff from parking at a Rhode Island prison that works with Immigration and Customs Enforcement when a black pickup truck swerved toward them. The protesters shouted as the driver laid on the horn, and the truck briefly stopped. And then, the driver hit the gas.

…

In a viral video captured by bystanders, the protesters screamed and jumped out of the way. Several were struck, according to organizers of the Wednesday night demonstration at the Wyatt Detention Facility in Central Falls, R.I. Some were treated at a hospital, though none were severely injured.

“It was terrifying because we didn’t know what exactly his intention was,” Amy Anthony, a spokesman for Never Again Action, a Jewish activist group that planned the protest, told The Washington Post. “It certainly appeared he was trying to hit us.”
— Washington Post, 8/15/19

As Bill Maher basically told the nation, the United States may not be so “divided”. In other words, we’ll be unified and there will be peace on the streets ONLY if Democrats are allowed to win the next presidential election and have unfettered control over policy, thus our lives.

With all the allusions to a coming “civil war”, it may ultimately come down to this…

“Peace only results after victory.”
— The Limbaugh Doctrine

Thinly-veiled blackmail can also be considered protected political speech and until the sore losers get their way, expect an uptick in incendiary commentary and subtle marching orders. If there was ever an argument for declaring anyone a domestic terror threat, the left has long since made their case.

For all appearances at this moment, it looks like they won’t get their way in 2020 and their lashing out and punishing those who won’t give them their way has really yet to begin.

It’s hard to feel any sympathy for those who created J20 precisely to punch the faces of millions who were fed up at the way this country was going and voted for Donald J. Trump.

It is essential to organize in a way that distinguishes us from all state actors and leaves no space for the state to regain legitimacy; antifascism must mean opposition to the state itself, lest we topple Trump only to pave the way for an equally authoritarian regime. The sooner a crisis comes, the better, before Trump, the Deep State, and the Democratic opposition have the chance to get their feet under them; at the same time, we have considerable work to do making our proposals comprehensible to the general public. Last but not least, if regime change takes place, the momentum must come from the streets, not from within the halls of power. As usual, we’ll get out of revolution what we put into it, nothing more.

We saw sore loser liberals in their norm, disrupting traffic, threatening motorists, destroying public and private property, enlisting school children to leave classrooms and take to the unsupervised streets, verbally and physically accost administration members and elected federal representatives in restaurants and in front of their private residences, assault conservative protesters and journalists, and even called for physical violence against those who didn’t vote for Hillary Clinton, including the shooting of an United States congressman. There was/is gross insubordination by federal employees against Republican appointees heading their departments, media bias justifying actions that would lead to jail time in some instances.

There was/is an attempted coup by the previous administration, Hillary Clinton’s campaign, and some in federal law enforcement to fix the election in favor of their preferred candidate, disrupt President-elect Trump’s transition and later, President Trump’s ability to govern. The “resistance” was an unprecedented mechanism to not only dissent but to bully.

Unlike the previous Obama administration, no progressive 501(c)(3) nonprofits were harrassed, no journalists (or their parents) were surveilled and intimidated in an unprecedented manner, no Freedom of Information Act requests are being stalled or ignored, in fact the Trump Administration has show great strength enduring the ongoing media onslaught along with a petulant “resistance” that includes #Antifa which could also be considered Klan 2.0.

And now, they’re triggered by a show of military pride? Only the narcissism of sore-loser liberals would explain why they’d look at a tank and assume it was meant for them.

Over the past decade, attackers motivated by right-wing political ideologies have committed dozens of shootings, bombings and other acts of violence, far more than any other category of domestic extremist, according to a Washington Post analysis of data on global terrorism. While the data show a decades-long drop-off in violence by left-wing groups, violence by white supremacists and other far-right attackers has been on the rise since Barack Obama’s presidency — and has surged since President Trump took office.
— Washington Post, 11/25/18

A “a decades-long drop-off in violence by left-wing groups”… really?

Maybe this is where the left can play word games to further their intentional deception by using the operative word “groups”, implying organized violence as opposed to a lone Bernie supporter who tried to kill federal lawmakers and their staffs.

BTW — That insignificant incident was afforded two sentences in paragraph 22.

Among the most deadly left-wing attacks were the 2016 killings of eight police officers in Dallas and Baton Rouge by gunmen sympathetic to the Black Lives Matter movement. One of the most prominent was last year’s attack on Republican members of a congressional baseball team, including House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (La.). The gunman, James Hodgkinson, had raged against Trump online and was a supporter of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.).

There were a few more “assassinations” of police officers and sheriffs all over the country following President Obama’s anti-law enforcement rhetoric after the deaths of young black men; too many of whom would be alive today had they been home at a decent hour and not out committing crime. Yes, that’s judgmental and also a reason why millions of black men over the age of 50 are still alive today.

While the Washington Post will have too many believing that political violence is all the rage on the right, even some liberal news outlets had to allow a more accurate depiction be printed.

You need not cross the shining seas to experience violence, destruction of property and a general dismantling of liberal values from the political left. You could simply visit America’s elite college campuses like Yale or Middlebury or Berkeley, where tomorrow’s leaders attempt to shut down conservative voices with protest or riots. At Middlebury, rioting students landed liberal professor Allison Stanger in a neck brace for the crime of defending a conservative academic’s right to speak. At Berkeley, mobs of students created a “war zone” ahead of a planned visit from conservative provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos, injuring Trump supporters and causing $100,000 in damages.

Or head to Portland, Ore., one of the most liberal cities in the nation in the heart of the progressive Pacific Northwest, which this month Politico labeled “America’s Most Politically Violent City.” The progressive paradise — where Republicans are virtually an extinct species — has witnessed millions in damages attributed to the same types of anti-fascists-in-name-only that kept Hamburg residents paralyzed in fear this month. A “counter-protest” to a planned pro-Trump rally landed 14 antifa in jail for attacking the police with explosives and bricks.

Witness the blood-soaked congressional baseball field in Alexandria, Va., site of the June attack on U.S. Rep. Steve Scalise, R-La., and other Republicans batting up for their annual bipartisan game. James Hodgkinson, a “fervent supporter of progressive politics,” showed up to the field with a rifle, a handgun and a hit list of Republicans. As Scalise fought for his life, MSNBC host Joy Reid felt conflicted: The attempted assassination was a “delicate thing” because of Scalise’s conservative views like opposition to gay marriage. “Are we required in a moral sense to put that aside in the moment?” she wondered. Yes, Joy, you are. The shooting of a mainstream, congressional Republican leader is reprehensible, and in no way justifiable.
— Chicago Tribune, 7/18/17

This is not to say there are no troublemakers on the right. There are, but way too many times they are the small in number and rather insignificant.

But it’s also helpful to accept a pattern.

These small and insignificant “right wing” groups (that many Republicans and conservatives have never heard of, until…) plan a protest. The left hears about it, mobilizes hundreds to counterprotest via social media, the alleged right wing group mobilizes hundreds in response and we have a Charlottesville where people are injured, killed… and it’s blamed on the right. Had the tree fallen with no liberal to hear it, think of all the dollars saved and lives spared.

When the left organizes a protest, business owners routinely board up their storefronts as routine preparation. A massive law enforcement presence is mobilized. You see people in blue safety vests with large white “ACLU” letters reminding those with ill intent whom to see once they get arrested. Large areas are reserved for the detention of agitators.

While the right protests for free speech, the left uses words that imply a pending outcome of violence. They defy common rules of decency with displays of vulgarity to inflame “both sides”.

For too many in the national news media, riots in primarily black neighborhoods make for great television and at least one old fart media pundit erroneously labeled the well-known, mostly white #Antifa an “African American organization” and has yet to issue a mea culpa, let alone an on-air correction.

Probably because their masks and clothing are black. It couldn’t be anything else, right?

The left is triggered into conniptions when anyone dares compare the violence on the right and left. President Trump was vilified for a few news cycles after the death of a Charlottesville protester when he condemned “both sides” while anyone with an Internet connection can find far more examples of massive protests in metropolitan areas, the intentional disruption of uninvolved commuters, and the millions of taxpayer dollars it always takes during and after left wing demonstration that almost always take that violent “mostly peaceful” turn.

It’s past the point when the media tells us to look one way, it’s best to look the other.

And let’s not forget how the left and their media poo-poo the numerous hate hoaxes meant to fraudulently blame the right for continuing liberal dementia.

But it’s also best to remember what liberal leadership thinks of their own and we see why the Washington Post’s bullshit has a stink that will stick long before it’s stepped in.

2014: Harvey Weinstein (Miramax) vows to stop making films that glorify gun violence

That lasted about a week and while celebrities will take time from their important schedules to lecture us about the scourge of gun violence in America, the Hollywood body count grows in proportion to their bottom lines.

From Sept. 22-28, the four top live-action movies — Kingsman: The Golden Circle, American Assassin, It and mother! — contained 212 incidents of gun violence, 108 of them involving automatic weapons similar to the ones used by Las Vegas shooter Stephen Paddock.
— The Hollywood Reporter, 10/10/17

And they sure make gun violence look pretty.

Of course, those who create and are paid handsomely to participate in Hollywood body counts are the first to absolve themselves of any responsibility for any actions their television shows, movies and/or video games may inspire.

It’s absurd for a movie director or game designer to say, “This is just entertainment; it doesn’t mean anything.” And just as television and movies can affect how we think about love or work or death or beauty, they might be able to change how we think about violence, which is why those who produce our culture should be as thoughtful as possible about all the messages they send.
— Paul Waldman, Washington Post opinion writer

Any media outlet that recites there’s no evidence to back up the assertion that violent sensory overload of onscreen violence doesn’t desensitize thus may inspire consumers to carry it out, is probably owned by a corporation that produces and distributes them. Any admission of responsibility could open them up for numerous, massive lawsuits (which is why no entertainment company will EVER make such a declaration).

The news and information media should acknowledge the proven scientific connection between virtual violence and real-world aggression and the current consensus of credentialed experts in this field and should avoid equating unscientific opinions and industry marketing tracts with peer-reviewed and vetted scientific research.
— American Academy of Pediatrics, 10/1/16

Some scientific consensus’ are given more credibility than others.

Gun control is never a political talking point in need of another national discussion when the body count gets into the dozens in black neighborhoods over a weekend in a gun-controlled Democrat district, or even when a Republican congressman is shot during a baseball practice by a Bernie Sanders supporter.

What’s most hypocritical is that those using Las Vegas as a rallying cry for gun control are some of the most protected people in the country; celebrities who consider themselves more important than “ordinary people” and are most probably shielded by someone with… wait for it… a gun.

As for our concerned politicians expressing outrage today, they do so within federal buildings with armed guards and metal detectors because they also deem themselves more special than those who are forced to pay for their salaries and protection.

— CNN Tweet, 6/14/17

This morning’s shooting was predictable, it’s all on the #resistance climate elected Democrats created and I wouldn’t be surprised just how many liberal activists are happy this happened, laments that the shooter was a bad shot, and are hoping for greater accuracy in the future.

Approximately a year ago, the Democrats rigged their primary election so Bernie Sanders would be pushed aside in favor of Hillary Clinton. That made many Democrats very angry, and as has become the pattern going back to their violent infiltration of Trump rallies up to the incident in Portland, this morning’s shooter is a Bernie supporter.

Washington Post Shooter identified by law enforcement officials as James T. Hodgkinson
Heavy Hodgkinson Is a Supporter of Bernie Sanders & Democratic Socialism Who Wrote on Facebook, ‘Trump is a Traitor. Trump Has Destroyed Our Democracy. It’s Time to Destroy Trump & Co.’

We’re going to be instructed by Democrats and their media not to lump all (“it’s on both sides”) with that tendency towards documented violence; violence they readily justify.

Not this time….

Last November, after months of being assured by a constant partisan news/entertainment collective onslaught that Hillary would win the presidency, why she didn’t really lose, all the excuses why she did, all that “Russian collusion”, killing people by not saving the intentionally-flawed Obamacare, the now-antiquated Electoral College, Donald Trump’s tax returns, all that made many Democrats very angry.

One of my favorite TV shows is “The Rachel Maddow Show” on MSNBC.

In a very secretive meeting, George Soros rounded up high-ranking Democrats and met in a D.C. hotel for a conference on how to #Resist President Trump and his agenda; an agenda millions of Americans voted for which made many Democrats very angry.

George Soros and other rich liberals who spent tens of millions of dollars trying to elect Hillary Clinton are gathering in Washington for a three-day, closed door meeting to retool the big-money left to fight back against Donald Trump.

The conference, which kicked off Sunday night at Washington’s pricey Mandarin Oriental hotel, is sponsored by the influential Democracy Alliance donor club, and will include appearances by leaders of most leading unions and liberal groups, as well as darlings of the left such as House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi, Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Congressional Progressive Caucus co-chairman Keith Ellison, according to an agenda and other documents obtained by POLITICO.

Entrenched federal employees went underground and actively planned to #resist the president’s (thus the American people’s) agenda, formed a nationwide network called #Indivisible which succeeded in turning out thousands of Democrats to go to Republican House and Senate members’ town hall meetings and disrupt them because they didn’t like Republican proposals that made many Democrats very angry. Yes, the Tea Party did the same thing but there was no expectation of possible violence like there is today whenever the left gathers en masse.

As former but prominent “leaders” of the party, neither Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, nor Bernie Sanders told their black-masked mobs committing acts of vandalism, stopping traffic, and violently attacking Trump supporters in the streets to stop. The Democrats lost the presidential election and every special election since and that made many Democrats very angry.

President Obama is heartened by the level of engagement taking place in communities around the country. In his final official speech as President, he spoke about the important role of citizen and how all Americans have a responsibility to be the guardians of our democracy — not just during an election but every day.

Citizens exercising their Constitutional right to assemble, organize and have their voices heard by their elected officials is exactly what we expect to see when American values are at stake.

With regard to comparisons to President Obama’s foreign policy decisions, as we’ve heard before, the President fundamentally disagrees with the notion of discriminating against individuals because of their faith or religion.

When Barack Obama won his presidential elections, the left took to the streets in a Third World-like frenzy. No Republicans got in their face in street opposition to rain on their parade. Democrats had their victory, the media echoed their joy, and they were allowed to enjoy their day if not openly gloat.

Republicans were not allowed to enjoy their election victory.

From the moment Donald Trump was declared President of the United States, there has been nothing but a constant onslaught of Democrat and their media’s talking points about “Russian collusion”, “obstruction of justice”, “impeachment”, and anything they can say or do to delegitimize the Republican victory and we wonder why it’s come to a shooting aimed directly at Republicans and these same Democrats and their media are now telling us all to take a step back and check the partisan air?

Fuck that.

A couple of days ago, I told Laura that I saw this getting violent. I predicted that there could be a violent clash between Democrats and Republicans because the left believes they can do anything they want to reach that “by any means necessary” goal: impeach and replace Donald Trump with a Democrat, then go after Vice President Pence and so damage the Republican brand that even Hillary could win in 2020.

Until then, ramp it up.

Virginia governor Terry McAuliffe was one of the first to officially politicize the shooting, saying “93 million” people are killed in the United States every year by guns. This is the same Terry McAuliffe who still shamelessly and falsely declares, to this day, Virginia the “first state to functionally end veteran homelessness”.

Like cowardly college professors who propagandize their captive students and incite them to take to the streets (while they stay safely behind in their campus-provided housing), Democrat politicians on Capitol Hill have been actively inciting their base to do anything to destroy the duly-elected President Trump, his family, his cabinet, and his support base.

Today’s shooting is a natural progression of all they’ve done since November 9, 2016 and no one with any credibility should let the Democrats off the hook. When they repeatedly told us “elections have consequences” after they won, we now know exactly what that means when they lose.
