					<description><![CDATA[Left wing violence: Antifa Can Do Anything It Wants in Portland and Get Away With It Apparently.

&quot;People who get their news from Pravda have no idea how much and how often the politicians and the police cooperate with the activists and rioters in Deep Blue cities. 

Almost never do rioters get arrested, no matter how violent or destructive they get, and things have gotten to the point where mayors of some cities are ordering their law enforcement officers to coordinate with activists to monitor and report ICE activity to make it easier to interfere with and even assault federal law enforcement. 

An example of how Antifa can operate with impunity in cities like Portland popped up in my feed this morning, and it should send chills down your spine.

					<description><![CDATA[About Those &#039;Tips&#039; on Trump and Epstein in Latest Files Dump.

&quot;The Trump administration released millions of pages of the Epstein files. 

I wanted to address an aspect of what was released - tips into the F.B.I.’s National Threat Operations Center and tips sent to the office of the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York. I&#039;m seeing them being spread by the left on X as though they were &#039;evidence&#039; because they mention President Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein. 

Except, of course, as with anything that the left spreads about Trump, there&#039;s a big catch they leave out. These are what one might kindly term &#039;random nutter&#039; contacts, meaning there&#039;s no evidence to support any of the claims. That&#039;s why I&#039;m not going to post them. Even the NY Times is showing some sense for once, and they&#039;re not even going there. 

For example, one claim involved the Trump National Golf Club in Rancho Palos Verdes in 1995-1996. Yet the golf course didn&#039;t even exist then, which puts a small crimp in the claim. But that hasn&#039;t stopped folks on the left from spreading it. 
...
The left is also leaving out the debunking column in the DOJ-released summary that includes things like the reporting person had psychiatric issues, didn&#039;t even bother to leave any contact information, or didn&#039;t respond when contacted. Pretty tough to have a case then. 

There are even multiple Democratic members of Congress spreading these. So either it means they have no discernment ability at all. Or they can&#039;t or wouldn&#039;t do five minutes of research. It&#039;s a pretty good indication, yet again, of why not to vote for Democrats. 

The Justice Department made clear that Friday’s documents &#039;may include fake or falsely submitted images, documents, or videos.&#039; It also said that some of the documents contain false claims against President Trump that were submitted to the F.B.I. before the 2020 election. So, of course, you would have folks trying to attack Trump at that point. The left is also ignoring this statement from the DOJ that this includes false stuff.

But the fact that the DOJ did release this information shows they are releasing documents even if they might shed a negative light on Trump.

Of course, the left can&#039;t answer the basic problem with trying to smear Trump. What do they have, beyond nutter claims without any evidence? Think about it: If the Biden team had any valid information at all on Trump, they would have used it. But they didn&#039;t, so they couldn&#039;t. 
...&quot;

[note: Its kinda sad for the left wingers. They spent years screaming for the Epstein files, Biden didn&#039;t give them but they didn&#039;t complain about that - but Trump gets into office again and they start screaming for the epstein files claiming that Trump was hiding something and was the big boogeyman come to life. Then the supposed victims of Trump the left wingers had been claiming started coming forward to debunk the left wing narratives and flat out saying Trump had never done anything to them. Now they get the epstein files and its full of false stuff from nut cases and still no evidence that Trump did anything wrong. But nope, these left wing loons still hang on to their false and try to portray false as if truth and it never was and still isn&#039;t. Its just sad.]

					<description><![CDATA[Stop Calling Them Democrats [they are Marx- ist Soci *alist trying to implement communism].

&quot;
...
It is time that we understand that there is a political party called Democratic, but that label, other than the jackass symbol, has nothing to do with who they are. ...
...
We should also stop calling Democrats liberals; they are not. True classical liberalism is that of its founder, John Locke, and can be found in his Second Treatise of Government, circa 1689. It was Locke whom Thomas Jefferson studied to frame our Declaration of Independence based on Locke&#039;s Natural Rights Theory. It affirms that it is only natural that individual rights derive from the Judeo-Christian faith heritage of the Creator God—life, liberty, and property. Sadly, we have fallen under the toxic spell of leftists believing that they decide who will live, when you will die, determine your freedoms, and, as Cea Weaver has claimed, must redefine the essence of property ownership, which is, after all, a weapon of white supremacy.

					<description><![CDATA[Another Dugan: Democrat Judge Allows Violent, Sexual Deviant Illegal Alien to Walk Free.

&quot;New York Democrat Judge Sheridan Jack-Browne allowed a wanted illegal alien with a history of violent sexual crimes to escape ICE, the New York Post reported Sunday.
...
Gerardo Miguel Mora was picked up by police for shoplifting $130 of merchandise from a local H&#038;M. Mora was set to appear before Jack-Browne, who is reported to have had possession of a federal warrant for Mora, but the judge allowed the criminal to &#039;simply slip out the back door of Manhattan Criminal Court,&#039; the Post reported.
...
Mora has had a history of violent crime. In 2011, he stalked a 21-year-old woman before attempting to rape and strangle her. Mora was stopped by a good Samaritan who overheard the commotion and detained Mora until police could arrive.

Mora is presumed to have been deported after his arrest in the incident, but resurfaced in 2023 when he was arrested for possession of false identification. He has been the subject of a federal warrant to remove reentered illegal aliens. Due to its status as a sanctuary city, New York police offered no assistance to federal law enforcement.

&#039;They refused to hand him over,&#039; a federal agent told the Post. &#039;They let him out the back to avoid ICE.&#039;

Mora was captured by ICE agents, who chased Mora down the street when they discovered his release. He remains in federal custody.&quot;

It actually originated in the military as a sort of gallows/dark humor thing to describe the accidental/unexpected discharge of a firearm in a non-combat setting like an administrative office/setting where people might be seated in a chair at a desk or table. It made it into urban slang and popularized in pop culture then into the movie &#039;The Other Guys&#039; (and a few different unsuccessful TV shows) and memes, it still appears in some military veteran youtube videos where they will use the term in telling various story&#039;s of their service.]]></description>

Reference from the movie &quot;The Other Guys.&quot;

Will Farrells character is hazed as the other cops convince him every new recruit gets a celebratory &quot;desk pop&quot; where they can fire their gun from their desk.
