Walsh: Sanity is making a comeback

By Matt Walsh | Daily Wire, Commentary Just a few days after BLM and Antifa set fire to a church outside the White House in the summer of 2020, the mayor of Washington D.C., Muriel Bowser, issued an emergency order. This wasn’t an order about restoring law and order to the streets of the nation’s capital, or punishing the vandals who had just destroyed property and assaulted Secret Service agents, or anything like that. Instead, Bowser made the decision to hire an elite team of eight artists — yes, eight artists — to meet up at around 3:30 a.m. in the morning. These artists’ mission, if they chose to accept it, was to paint the words “BLACK LIVES MATTER” on two blocks of road, in giant fifty-foot-tall letters, just a few blocks from the White House. This street painting would be referre...

State Department blocks pride, BLM flags from embassies, outposts with ‘one flag policy’

By Stephen Sorace  | Fox News The U.S. State Department has adopted a new policy under the Trump administration that effectively blocks U.S. embassies and outposts from flying Pride and Black Lives Matter flags, a report said Tuesday. The Washington Free Beacon first reported that it obtained a copy of the "One Flag Policy" order, which permits only the American flag to be flown at U.S. facilities at home and abroad, with two notable exceptions: the Prisoner of War/Missing in Action (POW/MIA) emblem and the Wrongful Detainees Flag. "Starting immediately, only the United States of America flag is authorized to be flown or displayed at U.S. facilities, both domestic and abroad, and featured in U.S. government content," the memo states, according to the outlet. "The flag of the Unite...

Washington Examiner: The Left’s troubling violent rhetoric

By The Washington Examiner | Commentary President-elect Donald Trump’s commanding reelection victory understandably upset many on the Left who tried for nearly a decade to demonize his brand of populist politics as outside the boundaries of acceptable political discourse. But in the past week, two incidents in New York have triggered an outburst of violent rhetoric that condemns anti-Trumpian leftist rhetoric. After a Manhattan jury on Monday unanimously found Daniel Penny not guilty of criminally negligent homicide for the death of a mentally ill homeless man who was threatening subway riders, the leaders of Black Lives Matter of Greater New York called for violence. BLM of Greater New York co-founder Hawk Newsome shouted, “It’s a small world, buddy,” as ...
