The Left is on the attack. It's a war.

[Grouse]

Stand by for more absurd leftist political theater, including the 25th Amendment play, as the Demos attempt to keep the Capitol riot front and center until the day Trump leaves office and beyond to darken that stain of shame on all elected Republicans, federal and state, and all conservatives who have supported Trump.

Demos are using the Capitol riot to consolidate power and as fodder to cancel anyone who ever backed Trump. They are fomenting more division, anger, and violence, which they can continue to hang around Republican necks ahead of the 2022 midterm elections.

The social media and corporate assault on free speech constitutes an abject civil rights violation of the First Amendment rights of all Americans — and a model for the coming civil rights violation of Second Amendment rights.  When Americans are targeted because of their constitutionally protected political and/or religious views, leading to coordinated efforts to deplatform and then defund those individuals and businesses when financial institutions selectively refuse services, it constitutes a new form of "redlining" in violation of their most fundamental civil rights.

As you may recall, financial institutions once used redlining to ensure that blacks living in certain areas did not get loans. This coordinated systemic discrimination excluded financial and other services based on race and ethnicity rather than one's particular merits for receiving services.  Thus, when institutions discriminate against people because of their views despite the fact they meet the same qualifications as others being served, it constitutes a brazen violation of their civil rights. The "private company" defense for discrimination does not apply.

When considering this Big Tech and Wall Street assault on First Amendment assurances of freedom of speech, religion, the press, and assembly — and the coming assault on the Second Amendment, the "palladium of the rights of the Republic" — understand that this is the Left's contemporary version of redlining.

Meanwhile, in the Unites States, the Democrats' support for Leftmedia and Big Tech suppression of free speech is their key strategy for establishing a permanent majority.

When Joe Biden and Kamala Harris take office on January 20th, they and their congressional ilk will do nothing to reverse these violations — and in fact may provide cover for the acceleration of this unlawful redline purge to continue. They know that the Big Tech purges are the best way to advance their deceptive BIG Lie political agendas.

From Dr. John Lott PhD

From a post on a friend's FB page:

The Cato institute has stopped being a respectable organization. Period. It is now firmly an aider and abettor to the cancel culture.

They just fired a famed Russian intellectual who worked there since 2006, because he posted on social media his opinion that the Left is trying to use the Capitol riot as an excuse to suppress civil liberties and destroy the opposition.

"When I was invited to work at the Cato institute [in 2006], people were regularly asking what Cato's position was on specific issues. The response from the administration was always the same -- "The Cato Institute has no position, except the protection of individual liberty. On every issue, we have not the position of the Cato Institute, but different positions of people who work there, and they are entitled to express those positions." Today, this approach has changed."

Use google translate to read Illarionov's comments.

Cato has long betrayed the values of basic academic honesty and competence by publishing junk "research" on immigration and other pet policy peeves. Now, it joins the mob that suppresses dissenting opinions.

Donors and researchers -- take note!

YouTube has banned all videos discussing election fraud, and Facebook shut down #WalkAway, which encouraged people to leave the Democrat Party. The National Association of Realtors revised its professional ethics code to ban "hate speech and harassing speech" by its members, written or spoken, public or private, 24/7/365. Hotel giant Marriott, the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association, Commerce Bancshare, and others are suspending donations to Republicans they dub the "treason caucus" for daring to question the validity of the election. And Forbes magazine's Chief Content Officer Randall Lane has warned that if any company hires one of Trump's "fabulists," "Forbes will assume that everything your company or firm talks about is a lie."

Such examples are the tip of the totalitarian iceberg, but the motivation behind it all can be reduced to a single word: vengeance.

Maybe Pres. Trump will construct some type of social media platform to fight back against the tyranny about to befall our country. Joe and Ho...can't wait.

Imagine Joe will need an escalator to board airfarce 1, given that he can barely walk. China laughing at us. Where's Hunter?

More of a lover than a fighter. I just thought it was funny that Merlot talked about Biden needing help to walk when Trump baby stepped his way down a ramp.

I believe the left has less  political power now then when Obama was in charge we will  be ok  for the most part there mostly a bunch of jackoffs  there to do nothing except get rich for themselves  anyway .  Just look a Biden's and Nancy's  bank accounts .

"A free and civilized society cannot survive at all without a firm commitment to the truth, deeply ingrained in and exemplified by its most fundamental institutions, including government, law enforcement, educational institutions and the national media (broadcast, social and otherwise). The conflict, anger and widespread resentment we are seeing now are the consequences of abandoning honesty in favor of hyperbole, hypocrisy and hysteria for political gain. Contrary to the popular narrative, this is not recent and did not originate under President Donald Trump or because of him. But it has escalated since his inauguration in 2017 and is now at a dangerous fever pitch." —Laura Hollis

[Grouse]

This man is a renowned statistician who wrote "More Guns, Less Crime" and is considered by his peers to be the most detailed data analyst today.  He is President of the Crime Research Prevention Council which studies crime and it's causes.  He is one of the foremost proponents of gun rights and has all the scientific data to support his views.  He is NOT a gun owner and wasn't an advocate of gun rights until he proved to himself gun ownership is a good thing.

The leftists hate this guy and attack him constantly.  Where is the "believe the science" philosophy here?  He was recently appointed to a high level position in the DOJ and the anti-gun leftists went nuts.  Now that Trump is out, so is he and I'm sure the attacks will intensify until his life is ruined too.  This is the sinister nature of the left in America today.

I am thrilled to announce Dr. John Lott’s return as president of the Crime Prevention Research Center. Dr. Lott is one of the few people who have both an academic research background and can write popular pieces. Lott’s appointment at the Department of Justice generated more opposition than almost any other Trump appointment, with an unprecedented move of all the Senate Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee signing a letter objecting to his hire. Gun control activists also launched a fierce email and telephone campaign demanding Dr. Lott’s firing. But Dr. Lott’s political appointee position at Justice ends with the end of the Trump Administration. 

[Grouse]

The left is engaging in "Blacklisting" to prevent Trump supporters from getting a job in the future.  You will now be punished for your political beliefs.

I copied this from someone else but it says a lot and speaks truth.

Why is Broken Glass on Capitol Hill more appalling to you than the Broken Glass that shattered the dreams of minority business owners all over the Country?

Why is a 5 hour Protest on Capitol Hill more appalling to you than the 7 month long destructive siege of our Country?

Why is some minor cosmetic damage to the Capitol building more appalling to you than 150 Federal Buildings damaged, and thousands of businesses burned down or destroyed?

Where was the outrage and disgust when more than 30 people died and 1000 people were injured and beaten during 7 long months of “mostly peaceful protests”, including old People and Police Officers?

Where was the outrage and disgust when US cities across the Country were plagued with looting, violence, arson, vandalism, and damages totaling in the Billions?!!

Why is it ok for AOC, Pelosi, Maxine Watters, Kamala Harris, etc to call for uprisings and support unrest in the streets, but when Trump calls on his supporters to “march over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard”, he is made out to be the Anti-Christ?!!

Maybe because it’s a “Manufactured” Outrage designed to further divide an already completely fractured Country.

Wake Up America this is not about losing an Election, this is about losing our Country.

And we should be fighting against these Evils instead of fighting each other...before there is nothing left of our Country to fight over.

Perhaps the NRA should create a social media platform for 2A advocates; particularly since this is where the youth/future get much of their information.

@Grouse i think it's time for your medication refill. Past time actually. 

Trump didnt use the word peaceful for the capitol protest,and storming the capitol and looking to kill mike pence and capture congressman is a tad different from protesting institutional racism. 

Not sure how the two relate.

[Northcountryman]

Actually, he did use the word "peaceful'.  Its in the offical transcript from his speech that day; check it out :

https://www.usnews.com/news/politics/articles/2021-01-13/transcript-of-trumps-speech-at-rally-before-us-capitol-riot

Ostensibly, The ANTIFA/BLM Riots purpose - to protest instituional racism - as you suggest, in reaity,  had more to do with looting, stealing, destoying private property ,and assaulting innocent police officers/citizens than it did with actual racism.   Just because a scumbag cop in Minneapolis kills a black man  , doesnt  justify the assaulting , even killing other cops all over the nation (there have been several cases all over the country of cops being murdered for no reason whatsoever linked to and fueled by, the riots). No, the riots from the spring and summer were not to protest racism and the perpetrators were no choirboys, not by a long shot.  They were hate-filled Anarchists and Troublemakers; and they are equally as bad as the Capital Hill Rioters  IMHO.

That's  the problem the media has done a really good job of brainwashing guys like him above  you that they simply cant think for themselves . The right needs to control more of the media in this country to deprogram them .

Apparently, this Guy is an ANTIFA member from Florida-who claims to be funded by George Soros- and was recently arrested by the FBI  for plotting to kill Trump supporters.  What the hell are people thinking anyway??

Well their”  protest “ in my city , burned, looted or destroyed 90 some buildings and businesses and countless cars . Some cops I know got hit with rocks, frozen water bottles, fireworks etc . and they had to largely stand down and take  it . Those few arrested of course were turned back out via cashless bail . One lady was beaten with a 2x4 for asking them to please not destroy the place she lived in .

I could go, on and on, but it’s time for a beer run . Perhaps I’ll smash the stores window, in protest of selling light beer .

I am not condoning the rioters who damaged stuff. But you miss the point,protesting police violence vs. storming congress.
