Rubio Leads Global Counterterrorism Summit Focused On Violent Political Extremism

By Drew Berkemeyer | The Daily Wire The Secretary of State will be hosting a meeting in an effort to combat the “resurgence of transnational far-left terrorism.” Secretary of State Marco Rubio will host representatives from more than 60 countries next week for a counterterrorism summit focused on what the Trump administration describes as a resurgence of transnational political extremism, particularly violent far-left networks. The July 15 gathering in Washington follows President Donald Trump’s counterterrorism strategy released earlier this year, which prioritizes disrupting politically motivated violent groups, including anarchist movements and what the administration describes as Antifa-affiliated networks, while also addressing extremists on the political right....

Would Be Trump Assassin Allegedly Driven By Anti America And Anti Trump Fury

By Noah Stanton | Commentary, I Stand for Freedom The distance between a talking point and a trigger pull is shorter than most Americans want to believe. It’s a gap measured not in miles but in repetition — the slow, steady drumbeat of rhetoric that tells an unstable mind the president is a monster, that democracy is dying, that someone has to do something. On April 25th, someone did. Cole Tomas Allen traveled cross-country to the Washington Hilton, checked into a tenth-floor room, and descended to the lobby outside the White House Correspondents’ Dinner ballroom carrying a loaded 12-gauge shotgun, a .38 caliber pistol, and multiple knives. Minutes earlier, he’d sent a pre-scheduled email to family and friends — a thousand-word manifesto in which he called himself the “Friend...

Colorado Lawmakers Advance Broad Security Plan Following Nationwide Political Attacks

By Marissa Ventrelli | The Gazette Colorado legislators unveiled a 60‑page bill that would dramatically expand protections for elected officials, staff, and judicial employees, responding to a string of high‑profile attacks nationwide and growing safety concerns inside the state’s courthouses and Capitol. Introduced earlier this week, House Bill 1422 contains nearly 30 sections. Among those provisions is the establishment of an Administrator of Legislative Safety, a law enforcement officer who would serve as a point of contact for members and employees of the General Assembly to discuss matters of personal safety and work alongside the Colorado State Patrol. Because the bill was introduced without a fiscal note, its potential cost to the state remains unknown...

Gunman’s Manifesto Reveals Motive Behind White House Dinner Shooting

By Steven Nelson and Chris Nesi | The New York Post Accused White House Correspondents’ Dinner gunman Cole Allen sent a sprawling, crazed manifesto to family members about 10 minutes before Saturday’s attack, sources told The Post. The 1,052-word missive obtained by The Post Sunday morning — signed Cole ‘coldForce’ ‘Friendly Federal Assassin’ Allen” — outlined his “rules of engagement” for the shooting and stated he believed it was his righteous duty to target administration officials. Cole Allen’s manifesto in full: Hello everybody! So I may have given a lot of people a surprise today. Let me start off by apologizing to everyone whose trust I abused. I apologize to my parents for saying I had an interview without specifying it ...

This is the real insurrection

By Mark Salley | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice What has happened to people in America? We have a contingent of people supporting and praising the law breakers.  Let’s call it what it is: insurrection. Just five years ago this month, the left branded patriotic protestors at the nation’s capital as “insurrectionists.”   None of the protestors there that day were obstructing justice. None of them were standing in the way of enforcing the nation’s laws. No one on that day was attacking law enforcement officers, pummeling them with bricks or frozen water bottles, or for that matter, ramming them with cars. And not a single one was charged with insurrection. Today officers of Immigration and Customs Enforcement are attacked and harassed rele...

Accused Charlie Kirk Assassin Smirks in Court as Transparency Fight Heats Up

By: Olivia Rondeau | Breitbart Tyler Robinson, the Utah man accused of assassinating Charlie Kirk, smirked Thursday during his first in-person court appearance since his September arrest. Footage of the 22-year-old sitting in the Provo court shows him sport a smile while speaking with his attorney: https://twitter.com/EricLDaugh/status/1999196198150816109?s=20 “Zero remorse,” wrote Jack Posobiec, a close friend of Kirk’s: https://twitter.com/JackPosobiec/status/1999199003464831101?s=20 Robinson was granted permission to wear street clothes instead of a typical prison jumpsuit before the judge, but his request to ditch the shackles was denied, Fox News noted in its coverage. He is facing charges of aggravated murder, felony us...

Americans Still Waiting For Answers In Trump Assassination Attempt

By: Alex Oliveira | New York Post The American people deserve answers about what drove Thomas Crooks to attempt to assassinate President Trump, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told The Post on ‘Pod Force One’— after a damning report emerged suggesting the gunman left a trail of digital clues the FBI did not previously share with the public. “Those questions are definitely deserving of answers and I understand why the public wants those answers, and I believe the president does too,” Leavitt recently told Miranda Devine on Pod Force One. “It’s a good question, and it’s one I’d like to see the answer to — and I think all Americans would,” she added. Leavitt’s comments came as Devine dropped a bombshell report in The Post Monday about newly unearthe...

CBS Downplays Antifa Chaos at TPUSA Event, Calls Violent Protest ‘Mostly Peaceful’

By: Katie Daviscourt | The Post Millennial A mob of Antifa militants was captured on video setting off flares and smoke bombs, assaulting attendees, hurling objects at police, and issuing death threats. What CBS News Bay Area described as a "mostly peaceful" protest outside a Turning Point USA (TPUSA) event at UC Berkeley on Monday night was anything but, according to ample video footage and reporters on the ground. A mob of Antifa militants and far-left agitators mobilized to disrupt the final stop of TPUSA's "American Comeback Tour," setting off flares and smoke bombs, assaulting attendees, hurling objects at police, and issuing death threats. The violence forced riot police to intervene, and multiple arrests were made. Standing directly across from the ...

CU Boulder TPUSA Leader Attacked After Antifa “Hit List” Circulates Online

By Jonathan Turley | JonathanTurley.org As Democratic leaders like Rep. Dan Goldman (D, N.Y.) insist that Antifa does not exist as a group, two Antifa groups — Front Range Antifa and Colorado Springs Antifa — put out a hit list poster on a University of Colorado sophomore and leader in Turning Point USA. He was promptly attacked by a person in the signature Antifa black outfit on roller blades who used a hockey stick to mete out the punishment. According to a press release, Boulder Police are looking for a suspect accused of attacking a 19-year-old Turning Point USA student leader near the University of Colorado, Boulder on Thursday evening. The attacker is suspected to be an Antifa member and to have followed the victim in the premeditate...
