The protesters made their way onto the major interstate and decided to block it as we have seen in numerous cases of Black Lives Matter related protests in the past. One car did run through the blockade but no one was injured. What these protestors seem to disregard is that while they are trying to express their grievances they are putting innocent people’s lives at stake.

Here is more from Blue Lives Matter:

St Paul, MN – A large group of thousands of protesters, some with children, have shut down I-94 Friday night. The protests are in response to the Philando Castile shooting verdict in which a multi-racial jury acquitted Officer Jeronimo Yanez. At least one car has driven through the blockade. Unconfirmed reports state the driver was shouting racist slurs and “make America white again.” The crowd has been walking down the interstate chanting “Fuck 12.”
The group of protesters are about to come head-to-head with police in riot gear, at which time they will either be herded in a safe direction or have a confrontation with police. The march organizers have stopped the march in preparation for the confrontation. Many of the protesters are putting on gas masks and other face coverings. There has been some minor vandalism but no violence as of the time of this writing.

UPDATE: Police are telling the thousands of protesters that it’s an “an unlawful assembly, subject to further action.” The crowd seems ready for a fight.

UPDATE: A KSTP helicopter crew is reporting that the crowd has thinned from thousands to around 500 protesters who look ready to stay. UPDATE: Despite the gas masks and big talk, almost all of the crowd moved off of the interstate. A handful of protesters decided to stay and were arrested. Thankfully, the protest remained peaceful. The remaining protesters moved off of the interstate and gathered on a side road. Law enforcement issued another dispersal order and the crowd is moving on.
While I fully support the right to peacefully assemble these type of protesters seem to always be on the verge of going from peaceful to hateful in a matter of seconds and it makes for a very tense job on the parts of the officers trying to keep them all safe as well as the areas in which the protest is taking place. Thankfully this particular instance didn’t turn into what the others have, but it was very close to it.

The added bonus to a Trump presidency is that he appointed James Mattis as our Defense Secretary. Mattis knows what needs to be done to fight our enemies abroad and does not hold any punches when doing it.

Recently, Mattis spoke about the recent threats to our national security and terrorist organizations from Iran, North Korea, and Russia. However, he had some strong words for a threat a bit closer to home named Congress.

According to The Daily Beast:

“In the past, by failing to pass a budget on time or eliminate the threat of sequestration, Congress sidelined itself from its active constitutional oversight role,” Mattis said at all three of his hearings, reading from a prepared statement. “It has blocked new programs, prevented service growth, stalled industry initiative, and placed troops at greater risk.”

“Despite the tremendous efforts of this committee,” Mattis added, separately addressing the House and Senate appropriations committees and the House armed services committee, “Congress as a whole has met the present challenge with lassitude, not leadership.”

The Budget Control Act capped all federal discretionary spending—basically, all budget lines except health and retirement entitlements—through the 2021 fiscal year. The way the caps are calculated is complex. To put it simply, the government required itself to eliminate $2.4 trillion in planned spending over 10 years starting in 2011.
The caps have translated into lower budgets than the Defense Department deems necessary to pay troops, operate equipment and develop and buy new technology. Yes, the Pentagon still spends about $600 billion annually, not counting funding for frontline operations. But that number should be tens of billions higher, Mattis and other senior military officials have argued.
The shortfalls mean fewer flight hours for pilots, less training, less maintenance, and fewer new weapons. “No enemy in the field has done more to harm the combat readiness of our military than sequestration,” Mattis said.

Congress can—and has in the past—written legislation lifting one-year spending caps. Mattis’ proposed $640 billion defense budget for 2018 is $52 billion over the sequestration limit. To pass that budget into law, Congress will need either to repeal sequestration—or pass a companion law granting the Pentagon yet another one-year partial exemption to the spending limit.

The partial exemption might be the best the Pentagon can hope for. Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said in May that lawmakers have “no plan” to end sequestration.

For close to a decade Congress has failed to pass a budget which has harmed our military. There is no reason that Congress can’t get off their ass and pass a budget that will work for our military. The longer that Congress refuses to get their act together the more our military suffers.

However, conservative actor James Woods is not one to let the Left avoid responsibility. Woods took to his Twitter account to remind everyone of one of Barrack Obama’s most infamous quotes: “Argue with people, get in their face. If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun”.
The mainstream media made no noise about that quote. Again, in their very biased eyes, the Left is incapable of violence. This theory is not backed up by facts.

As Bryan Burrough recounts in his excellent book Days of Rage, the far-Left, who were even then allied with mainstream Democrats, was responsible for pretty much all terrorist attacks in the U.S. between 1968 and the mid-1980s.

In 1972 alone, far-left agitators detonated over 1,900 bombs in the U.S. (via Status 451).

Groups like the Black Panthers, the Weather Underground, and the Symbionese Liberation Army not only set off bombs at police stations or set fire to college campuses, they routinely robbed banks and engaged in shootouts with the police.

The violence does not stop there, either.
During the 1950s and 1960s, Puerto Rican nationalists attempted to kill President Harry Truman at the Blair House in Washington, D.C. If not for the quick intervention of police officer Leslie Coffelt (who died during the skirmish), President Truman could have easily been killed (via Taki Mag).

Puerto Rican terrorists also invaded the visitor’s gallery of the House of Representatives with semi-automatic handguns. Five politicians wound up wounded.

In 1975, Fraunces Tavern in New York City was bombed by the FALN (Armed Forces of Puerto Rican National Liberation). The Marxist-Leninist group killed four that day and wounded forty-three (via New York Daily News).

Not surprisingly, Obama pardoned unrepentant FALN terrorist Oscar López Rivera. This move was congratulated by Lin-Manuel Miranda, the creator of the far-left Hamilton musical.

Many decades before the FALN and the various groups of the 1960s, anarchist and communist terrorists plagued the U.S. during the days of the First Red Scare (via Social Matter).

Despite such depravity, many left-wing terrorists wound up in academia, where their ideas have been celebrated. Bill Ayres, a bomber with the Weather Underground, is a professor in Chicago. Incidentally, he was one of Obama’s mentors and is rumored to have ghost-written his book, Dreams from My Father.

University professor Angela Davis, an open Stalinist, provided the guns that were used in the 1970 Marin County courthouse hostage incident. Judge Harold Haley died during the incident (via New York Post).

Such far-Left terrorism is much more common that Right-wing terrorism. Indeed, the American media has to make up conservative terrorism (as in the case of Jared Loughner) in order to keep their narrative abreast.

The narrative is no longer worker. The Left has a violence problem.

In order to attain the highest honor in the Scouts – Eagle Scout – one must do something pretty special.

And that’s exactly what a 15-year-old boy from Massachusetts did, and now all of America is applauding.

Kyle Zimmer noticed one day that his town’s flags, while prominently flown during the day, weren’t properly illuminated at night.
Proper flag etiquette (of which far too many Americans are ignorant) says the flag must be illuminated at night and if this isn’t possible, the flag must be taken down.

So, Zimmer decided he wanted the flags lit and embarked on a project to get the town of Groton to make it happen.

Of course, he had to go before the town board twice and raise the money himself, which isn’t much of a surprise as most liberal states aren’t in the business of patriotism.

The ambitious boy managed to raise $3,000 through the crowdsourcing GoFundMe site; a pasta night fundraiser helped, as did dozens of other contributors to the cause.

That was enough to get his solar lights and he was even able to, with the help of his parents, install some of these lights at nine flag displays across the town.

Mission accomplished.
And why did he do it? When asked by the local ABC affiliate, the patriotic teen replied:

“To honor those who fought and died for our country.”

This young man has more respect for his country and his flag than most people these days, which is simultaneously heartwarming and a little sad.

Would he have had to do this fifty years ago? Or would those flags been properly treated…?

It’s a question well worth asking, as we continue to battle the anti-American Leftists who burn the American Flag as a show of “rebellion” and “behead” the president as a show of entertainment.

Yeah. Times have changed. And NOT for the better.

Subject Politics reported that Trump took to Twitter to say that this is nothing more than a massive witch hunt. He also exposed the double standard the FBI is subjecting him to, considering the fact that they let Hillary Clinton off the hook for dozen cellphones with hammer to cover up evidence. Somehow, she was not charged with obstruction of justice for what she did.

“You are witnessing the single greatest WITCH HUNT in American political history – led by some very bad and conflicted people!” Trump wrote on Twitter. “Why is that Hillary Clintons family and Dems dealings with Russia are not looked at, but my non-dealings are?”

“Crooked H destroyed phones w/ hammer, ‘bleached’ emails, & had husband meet w/AG days before she was cleared- & they talk about obstruction?” he added.
Trump took to Twitter to address Mueller’s investigation into him once again on Friday morning.

Nothing is above the rule of political correctness in this country, not even the U.S. military.

Did you know it is now mandatory for soldiers to take a “transgender sensitivity training” course? Neither did we.

But it’s true: Those who serve in the U.S. Army must be educated on how to be “sensitive” around transgender individuals…you know, as opposed to learning how to defend themselves and a country.
Granted, it’s only a 50-minute course but this doesn’t bode well; it’s a slippery slope that we’ve seen in all facets of our society.

And military veterans aren’t big fans of this. One who has served in “every major campaign from Grenada in 1983 to present day conflicts” has spoken up, and what he has to say is definitely turning heads.

Here’s what Delta Force Operator Dale Comstock told IJR:

“This whole political social experiment is not helping. The reality is it’s in the Army, it’s in the Navy, it’s in the military.

And unless Mattis and Trump rescind all these policies and stop this madness, it’s here to stay.

It affects morale and combat readiness on many levels. At the end of the day, war fighting is about one thing: Killing people. It’s about bringing home our guys alive.

It’s not about being sensitive to a transgender. This isn’t corporate America, this is the military.

You can’t just put some policy in place because you want people to feel equal. Most guys who join the military, especially special operations forces, were the boys who had dirt clod fights on the playground, wrestled and fist fought, stole each other’s girlfriends, and pledged allegiance to the flag.
And that same spirit and apex predator mindset goes with us into the military.”

Comstock added that such policies are affecting those who serve overseas as well. You won’t believe this little story:

“I was in Afghanistan working for a government agency. And this one guy was there with us in the middle of a war zone, but he hadn’t gone through his Equal Opportunity training.

So they flew a bird out to get him in the midst of a war zone. That type of thing can immediately give away our position to the enemy.”

That really is completely asinine.

There are limits to political correctness and at some point, reality must dictate our actions. As Comstock says, the military is serious business; it’s not an office where people’s feelings get hurt.

It was a radical Leftist who called for the “ultimate punishment” for President Donald Trump and other members of his team.

Throughout the country, week after week, we see more examples of liberal insanity reaching a boiling point, from Antifa thugs attacking peaceful assemblies to crushing freedom of speech on college campuses.

And yet, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi continues to blame the wrong side.
Though she stood beside Speaker Paul Ryan and made an impassioned plea for unity, she couldn’t help but blame Right-Wing individuals for the Virginia incident.

Via Independent Journal Review:

“During Pelosi’s Thursday morning press conference, she accused Republicans of, in effect, inventing ‘politics of personal destruction’:

‘Somewhere in the ’90s, Republicans decided on a politics of personal destruction as they went after the Clintons, and that is the provenance of it, and that is what has continued.’”

‘Somewhere in the ’90s, Republicans decided on a politics of personal destruction as they went after the Clintons, and that is the provenance of it, and that is what has continued.’”

But Fox News host Greg Gutfeld called out “Nancy Pants” and then alerted her to the obvious facts:

“Sorry, lady, the ‘politics of destruction’ started way before that. And it’s back for one reason: the attacks on discourse.

If you shut down discourse, there’s no stopgap between rage and violence. Discourse keeps us from killing each other.”

Gutfeld then rattled off a list of questions that no Democrat wants to answer:

“Are conservatives the ones shouting people down on campus?”
“Are conservatives blockading offices and physically attacking speakers?”
“Are conservatives rioting after elections?”
“Are conservatives harassing professors for calling out racism?”
“Are conservatives stabbing police horses?”
“Are they throwing urine on young women?”
Gutfeld finished by saying what everyone in America has known since President Trump was elected:

“This attack on discourse isn’t a right-wing thing — it’s a left-wing thing.”

As a matter of fact just today it was reported by The Hill that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein confirmed that he might have to recuse himself from any further involvement in the Russian investigation, and if he decides this is the best course of action it all but confirms Mueller needs to join him in that decision.

Rosenstein reportedly told his colleagues that he is now considering his own recusal in the Russian investigation, though it is not clear why he has reached this conclusion. The implications of the decision may magnify questions over Mueller’s own status.

Rosenstein reason to recuse himself would be the prospect of his being a potential witness in the obstruction of justice investigation against President Trump. Recently a leak from the special counsel investigation revealed that Trump is now a potential target — a leak clearly calculated to deter Trump from his reported consideration of firing Mueller.

Rosenstein has the final say on whether Mueller is allowed to stay on the special council. That gives him influence over a Special Prosecutor who could be investigating Rosenstein’s own role in the firing of Comey. This is a major conflict of interest and proves we need fresh blood on this investigation if it does proceed further. This witch hunt is going too far and Democrats are going to find themselves in a major conundrum if they don’t act accordingly.

Fox News legal expert Gregg Jarrett has suggested Robert Mueller recuse himself from the special counsel due to his relationship with James Comey stating:

“If you look at the special counsel statute it says you cannot serve as special counsel if you have a personal relationship with someone who is central to the case. If this Washington Post story is true, it’s now Trump against Comey. Comey is now the star witness, the key witness against Trump. Well, guess what? Comey and Mueller are longtime close personal friends, partners, allies. They were joined at the hip at the DOJ and FBI. It’s a mentor-protege relationship. How is this fair to Donald Trump because Mueller is now going to decide whether to believe his good friend or the man who fired his good friend.”

Mueller and Comey joined in a historical moment that defined both men in a deeply personal way. In March 2004, Comey, who was deputy attorney general, went to the hospital bed of Attorney General John Ashcroft to keep him from relenting to demands from White House counsel Alberto Gonzales and others to sign papers reauthorizing the unconstitutional domestic surveillance program.

Watch the video here.
It is clear Mueller needs to step down. No one should be considered for such an important matter when history proves the relationship between the two is clearly close-knit. It is wrong to expect that Mueller will in any way throw Comey under the bus and that leads to nothing but bad things.

Via Angry Patriot Movement:

The assassination attempt on Republican congressmen that resulted in the hospitalization of House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-LA) could be the bi-product of RADICALIZATION by leftist leaders like Loretta Lynch.

Lynch previously released a disturbing video in which she said blood and death would be necessary to advance the progressive agenda. James Hodgkinson was simply obeying the radical ideology espoused by the former Attorney General in that video. Blood and death? That’s exactly what Hodgkinson was up to at the Virginia baseball stadium where he tried to commit a massacre.
Fortunately, there were armed police officers on the scene. Scalise’s leadership position gives him a 24-hour security detail. As we common sense conservatives always say, the only person who can stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun. But you won’t hear the progressive media talking about the virtues of widespread gun ownership. And you won’t hear them talking about how Hodgkinson was a radical Bernie Sanders supporter and campaigner. Those facts don’t fit their narrative. Because, for the media — and for Democrats like Loretta Lynch, it’s all about the narrative. The narrative they want to spin is that Donald Trump is some kind of mad dictator.

In their minds, then violence is justified. It’s reprehensible. Then they use guilt by association. All Donald Trump supporters are viable targets. So are all Republicans. All these Democrat rats need to do is convince enough gullible liberals of their lies and soon you have the nationwide terrorizing of conservatives. It really is sick! Many of these radicalized liberals don’t have the best mental health to begin with. They’re easily worked up by the stories Loretta Lynch and her ilk make up, making them think President Trump and Republicans are going to take all their rights away — and the only solution to some of them is bloodshed.

James Hodgkinson and other thugs committing crimes against conservatives are de-facto pawns of the Democrat Party. We believe it’s the liberal dog-whilsters who are ultimately responsible for this violence. To end the carnage, we have to aggressively investigation known radicals. They won’t stop radicalizing impressionable progressives unless they’re prosecuted.

The most recent method of attacks that Muslims are employing is the use of vehicles to plow into civilians causing as much destruction as they can and that’s what makes this the judgment on this case involving this type of attack so unacceptable. 26-year-old Lugman Aslam is a Muslim who lives in the UK and decided to plow through a group of men he had an altercation with at an earlier time. The Judge sentenced the man but in doing so praised Aslam for being a good family man who acted out of character. He actually praised the man for his actions and in doing so gave other Muslims more reason to carry out such attacks. While Aslam was sentenced to 5 years, it also showed him how far he can take things. The Judge should have locked him up for life.

According to The Daily Mirror:

26-year-old Lugman Aslam, from Leicester in the UK, found himself in a physical altercation with a group of men after he backed his van into one of them. He was allegedly racially abused while doing so.

Recorder (circuit judge) Justin Wigoder, described the incident that followed. Aslam, with revenge on his mind, returned to his van, mounted the curb and drove straight through the group of pedestrians to “get [his] own back.”

“I’ve seen it on CCTV and you deliberately mounted the pavement and drove straight at them and right through the middle of them at speed,” said Wigoder.

“Some were thrown to the side and three were struck by your vehicle front-on, with one going over the bonnet and hitting the windscreen,” he continued.

“It’s quite remarkable that nobody was seriously hurt or killed and the only injuries complained of were bruises and scratches.”

“One indication of the force of the collision was your windscreen was smashed – you claimed it had been hit by an animal when you got it repaired,” he continued.

“You accept your intention, driving at them, was to cause serious injury and that’s what makes this case so serious.”

“The motivation was driving at them to get your revenge, to get your own back from the fact they’d assaulted you,” Wigoder concluded.
Wigoder, however, argued that this was “completely out of character” for the van driver. The judge went on to praise Aslam as a “good family man” that had glowing references.

“You’re of very positive good previous character and I’ve received a considerable number of references setting out all the good that is in you,” he said.

He went on to add, “you’re a good family man with a young daughter and I take that very much into account.”

According to his defense, Aslam “was fasting [for Ramadan] on that day and had been doing so for about 20 days” when he tried to injure the pedestrians.

“He’s a hardworking, unassuming and quiet man, of small stature,” his defense lawyer Nadeem Aullybocus said.

“He’s never been involved in gang culture and was simply on his way to meet his wife and child when the encounter (with the five men) took place.

“Something happened out of the ordinary and he reacted in a way he can’t explain.”

“Clearly he saw red and went for these five people.”

“He’s been suffering from depression ever since.”

“Others speak highly of him. He also does charitable work in the community,” the lawyer concluded.

Aslam pleaded guilty to the charge of dangerous driving and attempting to inflict intentional grievous bodily harm. Due to the Criminal Justice Act 2003, granting him automatic parole, it is unlikely that he will serve half of his prison time incarcerated.

Aslam received a five-year sentence and a four-and-a-half year driving ban.

Considering the number of vehicle attacks that have happened around the world as well as in London, the most recent for the UK being the Westminster bridge and London bridge attacks, it is surprising that Aslam received such a light sentence.

Actions always speak louder than words.

Before Donald Trump was elected President of the United States, he promised the American people he would put a hammerlock on the out-of-control illegal immigration that has crippled this country.

And that wasn’t a lot of big talk, either.

Not only has he managed to slash immigration from countries with dangerous Muslim ties, he also encourages ICE and other law enforcement agencies to come down hard on those who break the law.

Now, he has fulfilled more of his campaign promise; this is a very big step in the right direction, America.

According to a press release issued by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Trump has ended an Obama-era program that awarded legal status to undocumented parents of American kids.

“On June 15, Department of Homeland Security Secretary John F. Kelly, after consulting with the Attorney General, signed a memorandum rescinding the November 20, 2014 memorandum that created the program known as Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents (‘DAPA’) because there is no credible path forward to litigate the currently enjoined policy.

The press announcement also observed that before DACA had even been implemented, it had received significant pushback from a majority of the states with approval of the federal court system.”

And the reaction on social media was immediate.
Of course, you can bet liberals are absolutely losing their minds right now but hey, they’re the ones who think there’s a difference between “undocumented” and “illegal.”
