Portland Police Chief After Antifa Attacks: We Need Anti-Mask Law

Sarah Armstrong, a spokeswoman for The American Civil Liberties of Oregon, protested the implementation of an anti-mask law, saying, "A policy that prohibits wearing a mask to a protest will have police focusing on the wrong issue. Behavior is the issue, not the mask.  . . .

Daily Wire

"On Wednesday, in the wake of the violence that erupted in Portland last Saturday in which journalist Andy Ngo was assaulted by masked members of the far-left group Antifa, Police Chief Danielle Outlaw called for anti-mask laws, asserting, “We cannot allow people to continue to use the guise of free speech to commit a crime. A lot of people are emboldened because they know they can’t be identified.' ’’ . . .

. . . "Also on Tuesday, the Portland Police Bureau noted, “There is no current law or ordinance prohibiting covering of the face in a protest and commission of a crime, which makes it more difficult for investigators to identify perpetrators of violence. This is exploited by criminals who engage in acts of violence. Per Oregon Revised Statute, 181A.250, law enforcement is unable to record demonstration events unless there is criminal activity occurring.' ” . . .

Updated: One more Democrat demagogue and her CNN lapdog

Shame on Alysin Camerota for her callous response to the racist invective coming out of her guest, the "rock star" Democrat Rep. Frederica Wilson. Only a grateful "thank you".

No Pushback from CNN as Dem Claims Border Agents Can't Be 'Trusted' With 'Girls Going Through Puberty'
. . . "Camerota cut in to ask Wilson if she was suggesting the border agents were running a “money-making scheme” by bringing teen girls in to these centers, to which Wilson agreed that’s what she thought. Wilson also emphasized, unprompted, how the agents were "white men" and she didn't see any Hispanic workers.

"Throughout Wilson’s horror story, Camerota didn’t show any skepticism or ask critical questions, just clarification questions. Even more troubling, she didn’t ask Wilson about comments the congresswoman made yesterday just outside that detention facility, calling criticism of herself, illegal. She demanded anyone who criticizes Congress be punished:

" 'Those people who are online making fun of members of Congress are a disgrace, and there is no need for anyone to think that is unacceptable [sic],” she said in comments captured by The Washington Examiner. Wilson added, “We're gonna shut them down and work with whoever it is to shut them down, and they should be prosecuted.' ”

Rep. Frederica Wilson: People Who Make Fun Of Members Of Congress Online Should Be “Shut Down” And “Prosecuted”  
. . . "Democrat Rep. Frederica Wilson led a congressional delegation to inspect an immigrant detention facility on Tuesday and following her visit she said that people who are "making fun of members of Congress" online "should be prosecuted."
. . . "Those people who are online making fun of members of Congress are a disgrace and there is no need for anyone to think that is unacceptable," Wilson said during a press conference. "We are going to shut them down and work with whoever it is to shut them down, and they should be prosecuted.' " . . .  See her remarks here.

Don't take her threats lightly; this is what leftists are getting away with in our CNN culture:
‘Mini AOC’ Deletes Social Media After Being Doxxed, Getting Death Threats
Her family tweeted:

Ava will not being doing any more MINI AOC content. The Left's Harassment and death threats have gone too far for our family. We have been getting calls on our personal phone numbers.For our safety and for our child's safety, we deleted all Mini AOC accounts.

 This Australian fan of Mini-AOC is quite angry over the left shutting this child down.


UPDATE: Funny how death threats against mini-Ocasio-Cortez came just as Frederica Wilson called for prosecuting congressional ridicule

. . . Wilson loudly called for censorship in prosecution form for making fun of congressional members, in an astonishing call to nullify the First Amendment. It was weird at the time and people assumed it was because people made fun of her hats. But now we see a little child targeted, first with threats, second with doxxing, all of which serve to silence in a far more brutal manner. So the timing here is really very strange. 

The left could not take this? See how long the left takes to make it disappear:

Was Thomas Jefferson On The Duke Lacrosse Team?

Ann Coulter  "While tearing down everything that's great about our country, the left has always permitted us to celebrate patriotic holidays.
"But this year, on the week that we commemorate the unveiling of the Declaration of Independence, Nike yanked a Betsy Ross tribute sneaker off the market because the American flag didn't sit well with Colin Kaepernick.
"Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., is telling wild, provable lies about America's border agents.
"The charge was first leveled in 1802 by a muckraking, racist, alcoholic journalist, James Callender, who had served prison time for his particular brand of journalism. He had tried to blackmail Jefferson into appointing him postmaster at Richmond. When that failed, Callender retaliated by publicly accusing Jefferson of fathering the first-born son of Sally Hemings -- or, as the charming Callender described her, "a slut as common as the pavement." 
"No serious historian ever believed Callender's defamation -- not Dumas Malone, Merrill Peterson, Douglass Adair or John Chester Miller. Not one. Their reasoning was that there was absolutely no evidence to support the theory and plenty to contradict it.
"The Jefferson-Hemings myth was revived by feminists trying to elevate the role of women in history. Modern pedagogy requires that no period of our past be taught without turning it into a lecture on racism, sexism or homophobia."

. . . "What the DNA tests showed was that Hemings’ firstborn son, Tom -- the Tom whose alleged paternity was the basis for Callender’s accusation -- was not related to any Jefferson male. " . . . Emphasis mine, TD

Small wonder Democrats hate this man.

Democrats’ Leftward Turn Was a Reaction to Hillary Clinton

Donkey Hotey

Jonah Goldberg  "The consensus view on the right is that Hillary Clinton was a primary reason for Donald Trump’s success in 2016. But not all conservatives agree about why that was. 

"For devotees of the Trump-as-savior narrative, Clinton — and all the allegedly nefarious forces at her beck and call — was a uniquely formidable opponent. Defeating her required a different kind of Republican, one who’d be willing to fight as dirty and as tough as the Democrats. This was a “Flight 93 election,” and Trump was the hero we needed to storm the cockpit.

"Others on the right see it differently. It wasn’t so much that Trump was the one person who could beat Clinton, but that she was the one candidate he could beat. In other words, it was only thanks to the fact that she was so unpopular that Trump had a chance. Trump-reluctant Republicans and independents could be persuaded that he was better than Clinton — when presented with a binary choice.

"The latter seems vastly more plausible for the simple reason that Trump didn’t have to convince those voters that Clinton was unlikable and a little scary; he simply had to exploit their pre-existing opinion of her. Indeed, Trump’s continued obsession with bashing Clinton points to how central she is to his identity.

"This has consequences for 2020 because the White House’s entire strategy boils down to making Trump’s opponent more unlikable than he is. If Trump wasn’t responsible for Hillary’s unfavorable numbers in the first place, it remains to be seen whether he can Hillaryize another Democrat." . . .

The way things are in America

Frederica Wilson: People ‘Should Be Prosecuted’ For ‘Making Fun Of Members Of Congress’ Online

Daily Wire

. . . " 'They went inside around 1 p.m. with the purpose of investigating the conditions that migrant children are living in," CBS Miami reported. "Joining Wilson was fellow South Florida Rep. Donna Shalala (FL-27), Rep. Bennie Thompson (MA-02), Rep. Brenda Lawrence (MI-14), Rep Yvette Clarke (NY-09), Rep. Katherine Clark (MA-05), Rep. John Lewis (GA-05) and Rep. Madeleine Dean (PA-04)."

" 'Those people who are online making fun of members of Congress are a disgrace and there is no need for anyone to think that is unacceptable," Wilson said during a press conference. "We are going to shut them down and work with whoever it is to shut them down, and they should be prosecuted.' " . . .

Tyranny and fear in American society

President Trump did not create all this, he only revealed it. No matter who is the next Republican president, this will continue. TD

I Was With Andy Ngo When The Antifa Attack Happened. Here Are The Horrifying Pictures  
"Warning: At the bottom of this article, beneath a subheading noting what follows, are grisly photographs of injuries." 

Here they are marching, a sea of black. They are covered head to toe, so it’s nearly impossible to identify anyone who commits a crime. They took over the street, only receiving pushback from the police when they neared the waterfront, a popular tourist and weekend destination.They were chanting “ACAB, all cops are bastards.” There were also chants about Proud Boys and about Ngo. The organized groups in attendance that I noticed included: Black Bloc, Democratic Socialists of America (the DSA), and Skinheads, both RASH and SHARPs.

Andy Ngo’s Lawyer Identifies Who’s Likely To Get Sued, And It’s Not Just His Attackers…

Police Post Photos Of Andy Ngo’s Attackers, Special Antifa ‘Milkshake Recipe’

. . . "As noted by Portland Police, Antifa is currently permitted to cover their faces during such “protesting,” making it harder for police to identify criminals.

“ 'There is no current law or ordinance prohibiting covering of the face in a protest and commission of a crime, which makes it more difficult for investigators to identify perpetrators of violence. This is exploited by criminals who engage in acts of violence,” a press release from the Portland Police Bureau said." . . .
There is a dispute as to whether the "milkshake" had harmful material in it. But the beating and the blood on Mr. Ngo were all real enough as was the bike lock used by a "Professor" another time to strike a Trump supporter.

Joe Biden Starts Presidential Campaign By Praising Antifa  "Former Vice President Joe Biden endorsed Antifa in a video announcing his presidential bid Thursday, characterizing the group as “courageous” and saying it’s wrong to draw a moral equivalence between white nationalist groups and those opposing them." . . .

Left Amps Up Justifications For Violence Against Their Political Opponents

. . . "The Boston Globe published an article in April that suggested food service workers should tamper with the food of conservatives, including of Bill Kristol, who has never supported the Trump administration in any way. The Boston Globe later removed their article after severe backlash. Throwing any object at a person is considered assault.

"If You’re Not a Leftist, You’re Fair Game for Assault" . . .

Kaepernick metastasized

Deroy Murdock: Nike steps on its own shoelaces in latest Kaepernick fiasco 
. . . "As for Nike, shame on this corporate giant for caving into this loudmouth. Nike should have ignored Kaepernick and sold these shoes to the millions of Americans who love this country, rather than knuckle under to the rants of this solitary anti-American, tattoo-encrusted loser.
"The only person to escape favorably from this needless mess is Gov. Doug Ducey, R-Ariz.
“ 'Words cannot express my disappointment at this terrible decision,” Ducey said today via Twitter. ”I am embarrassed for Nike. Nike is an iconic American brand and American company. This country, our system of government and free enterprise have allowed them to prosper and flourish.” . . .

California praises the Nike decision to cancel the shoe. But you already knew that, didn't you?

Outrage for Profit – NIKE Pulls “Betsy Ross” Sneaker…

. . . "Having followed politics, economic and multinational corporate interests related to politics and U.S. policy, something about these NIKE moves just doesn’t pass the proverbial sniff test.  
"The purpose of hiring Colin Kaepernick as the multi-million face of the brand was not accidental.  The entire executive suite would be involved in the original decision and launch of the “face of Nike”.  The social justice executives made a purposeful decision to leverage political controversy as part of their brand image and business model." . . .

"LIARS! Video Confirms AOC and Liberal Media Were Complicit in STAGED CRYING HOAX IN EMPTY PARKING LOT"

Rep. Dan Crenshaw calls out Ocasio-Cortez as a liar on detainees drinking from toilets  "Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-Texas) continues to delight me with his common sense and honesty.  Yesterday, he did not mince words, calling out Democrats for their game of deliberately denying resources to detention centers for illegals and then criticizing President Trump for the resulting conditions.  And he outright called Rep. Ocasio-Cortex a liar for her claim that detainees were forced to drink from toilets."  Watch the whole thing:

How can any news source ever take what this valley girl says seriously from now on?

The Gateway Pundit  "Photos were released on Tuesday of Democrat Socialist leader Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez sobbing at a border entrance gate.

"The horror of the experience moved her to tears.
"It was suggested that AOC was sobbing presumably at the sight of migrant children being inhumanely detained."
"The sobbing Ocasio-Cortez was holding her hands over her face to hide her pain.
"AOC posted the sad photos to her Twitter page.
"NOW THERE IS VIDEO…
"This was the media being complicit with radical Democrats to create a hoax!" . . .

Watch this contrived spectacle

Hispanic pastors tour border facility lambasted by AOC and say they are ‘shocked by misinformation’  . . . “ 'I read the reports, saw the news clips. I just wanted to see what was actually happening in order to better enable our efforts to find a fair and a just solution to our broken immigration system," Rodriguez, who has advised President Trump and both Presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush on immigration reform, noted. “To my surprise, I saw something drastically different from the stories I’ve been hearing in our national discourse. Even as a veteran of immigration advocacy in the U.S., I was shocked at the misinformation of the crisis at the border.' " . . .

Are these the "toilets" AOC says those people are drinking out of? But if there is no water in the camps, how did the "toilets" get water in them?

People aren't thrilled about Kamala Harris selling 'That Little Girl Was Me' T-shirts: 'Hollow and calculated';

Yahoo  . . . But Harris told Biden at the debate, “Vice President Biden, I do not believe you are a racist. I also believe—and it's personal...it was hurtful to hear you talk about the reputations of two United States senators who built their reputations and career on the segregation of race in this country. It was not only that, but you also worked with them to oppose busing.”

She said, “And you know, there was a little girl in California who was a part of the second class to integrate her public schools, and she was bused to school every day. And that little girl was me. So I will tell you that, on this subject, it cannot be an intellectual debate among Democrats. We have to take it seriously.' ”

Biden Hits the Skids . . . "In recent years, the Democratic Party has moved far to the left, leaving centrists like Biden not only without support but stunned to be on the receiving end of those same false charges of racism he so freely leveled against Republicans, Biden learned in real time that in a Democratic Party debate a white man cannot win an argument about race with a black woman holding a giant race card. Biden will soon renounce his past opposition to busing and racial quotas. He’ll do this in the vain attempt to hang on to his lead among black Democratic primary voters. All that will do is speed up the day of his ultimate political demise."

Media Matters Defends Antifa in Andy Ngo Attack: Questions ‘Cement Milkshake’

. . . "The post did condemn political violence — in the last few paragraphs, where it also suggested that those spreading reports about alleged cement milkshakes would be at least partly responsible for future violent escalations." . . .

A Nod to Violence: CNN Further Normalizes Leftist Antifa Terrorists

"It’s been over three years since the FBI and the Department of Homeland security referred to the radical leftist Antifa movement's behavior as that of a “domestic terrorist” organization, but that hasn’t stopped CNN from promoting their activities. Just days after CNN host Chris Cuomo argued that Antifa was a “true” and “good cause,” social justice warrior Kamau Bell on Sunday’s United Shades of Americaoffered a national platform to an Antifa member while offering no pushback against their violent tactics.

"Completely ignoring the terrorist designation, Bell sat down with a young woman who only went by the name Ariel. As they began their discussion, Bell allowed her to twist and lie about what Antifa actually was:. . . "

Far-left CNN and, most especially, network chief Jeff Zucker, owe Quillette journalist Andy Ngo a personal apology.   . . . Here is a short list of CNN excusing, complimenting, and encouraging Antifa’s use of violence against CNN’s political enemies on the right:

• Antifa fights for a “good cause.”
• Antifa’s fight “is right.”
• Antifa’s punches are more “equal morally” than others.
• Antifa is “on the side of right.”
• Antifa is right because “sometimes you can’t fight by praising them or being nice to them. You gotta fight fire with fire…”
• Antifa is as heroic as the American soldiers who stormed the beaches on D-Day.
• Antifa harassing Ted Cruz and his wife out of a restaurant is “what he signed up for.”
• …any criticism of Antifa is “racist” (even though Antifa is predominantly white).

"The result of having a cable news outlet dedicated to protecting your organization is an increasingly emboldened Antifa that brutally assaulted Ngo over the weekend." . . .

Maxine Waters encourages supporters to harass Trump administration officials  . . . "Asked about Waters' comments on CNN's "New Day" Monday, Rep. Adriano Espaillat of New York would not criticize his fellow Democrat."

CNN's Don Lemon defends violence  . . . "CNN’s idealization of Antifa flies in the face of its violent history, including police arresting ten protesters in Berkeley, California, on Sunday for  “various violations.' ” . . .

The media either ignores these acts of political terrorism or if they can't, will excuse it and blame the victims.  "Oregon Democrat Senator Ron Wyden Was Busy Tweeting About Cats While Portland Antifa Terrorists Beat Andy Ngo Bloody"

SLAVE REGISTERS FROM LONDON Name The Slaves Kamala Harris’ Ancestor Owned

Big League Politics  "Democrat presidential candidate Kamala Harris is descended from Irish slave owner Hamilton Brown, the namesake of Brown’s Town in Jamaica, who recruited massive numbers of Irish migrants to Jamaica to work on his sugar plantations after the British empire abolished slavery.
"Kamala Harris’ father Donald Harris wrote an essay entitled “Reflections of a Jamaican Father” for Jamaica Global Online, in which he made a startling admission (emphasis added):
“ 'My roots go back, within my lifetime, to my paternal grandmother Miss Chrishy (née Christiana Brown, descendant of Hamilton Brown who is on record as plantation and slave owner and founder of Brown’s Town) and to my maternal grandmother Miss Iris (née Iris Finegan, farmer and educator, from Aenon Town and Inverness, ancestry unknown to me).  "The Harris name comes from my paternal grandfather Joseph Alexander Harris, land-owner and agricultural ‘produce’ exporter (mostly pimento or all-spice), who died in 1939 one year after I was born and is buried in the church yard of the magnificent Anglican Church which Hamilton Brown built in Brown’s Town (and where, as a child, I learned the catechism, was baptized and confirmed, and served as an acolyte).' ” . . .

Registry of slaves owned by Hamilton Brown,

Research by  Jeanne A. Smith, MD: "The National Archives in London, (also known as the Public Record Office), is the repository for numerous records concerning the West Indies, and Jamaica in particular. These records include wills, manumissions, correspondence, proclamations, slave registers and other transactions. I had the opportunity recently to visit the archives and review a small portion of the myriad records which they have. My interest was in tracing my ancestors back to the slavery days thus I was particularly interested in the Slave registers (T71 series)

"A return of slaves in the parish of Saint Ann in the possession of Hamilton Brown as owner on the 28th day of June 1n the year of our lord 1817"
Males 56
Females 30
Total 86 Eighty Six
"I Hamilton Brown do swear that the above list and return consisting of two sheets is a true perfect and complete list and return, to the best of my knowledge and belief in every particular therein mentioned of all and every slaves possessed by me as owner, considered as most permanently settled, worked and employed in the Parish of Saint Ann on the twenty Eight day of June One thousand Eight Hundred and Seventeen without fraud, deceit or evasion So help me God.
Sworn before me this twenty fourth day of September 1817
