Following President Trump’s false claim of Portland being “war ravaged,” a Saturday visit revealed a stark contrast between his depiction and reality. Outside the ICE field office, only a few protesters demonstrated peacefully, defying Trump’s assertion of an “under siege” situation. The city’s downtown and farmers’ market exhibited normal weekend activity, far from any indication of a war zone, with residents even mocking the President’s statements on social media. This situation contrasts sharply with the narrative spread by conservative media.

President Trump has announced his intention to deploy troops to Portland, Oregon, in response to what he perceives as a need to address crime and protect federal facilities from Antifa and other “domestic terrorists”. This directive follows the designation of Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization, which expands the administration’s tools to pursue the group. Local officials, including Portland’s mayor and Oregon’s governor, have stated they do not need federal intervention and have raised concerns about the president’s authority to deploy troops. The deployment timeline and specifics of the troops involved remain unclear at this time.

The meeting, organized by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, is scheduled for next week at Quantico and will bring together hundreds of high-ranking generals and admirals.

Trump Is Lying About Left-Wing Terrorism, and the evidence is clear. It’s almost a reflex at this point to state the obvious. Everything that comes out of his mouth is filtered through a lens of deception. The idea that he’s fabricating information about left-wing terrorism, specifically, is just another brick in the wall of dishonesty he’s built. It’s a pattern, an established routine that needs to be recognized.
The fact that the New York Times is even stating this is noteworthy because they are using the word “lie”. It’s a blunt assertion, directly stating the truth in a way that can cut through the noise.… Continue reading
GOP lawmaker calls for Dem congresswoman to be executed for urging Trump protests – this is the kind of headline that grabs you by the collar, right? It’s not just alarming; it’s a stark illustration of the increasingly toxic political climate we’re wading through. The comments swirling around this story are, unsurprisingly, a mix of outrage, disbelief, and a deep sense of weariness. The core of the issue is simple: a Republican representative, named John Gillette from Arizona, reportedly called for the execution of a Democratic congresswoman for her urging of protests against Donald Trump.
This kind of rhetoric isn’t just inflammatory; it’s dangerous.… Continue reading
Trump warns Democrats: Provoke the right and “bad things happen” – This is a chilling echo, isn’t it? It’s hard not to see the undercurrent of menace in such a statement. Essentially, what we are hearing is a veiled threat, a warning that if the “right” is somehow agitated, there will be repercussions. And the implication is clear: those repercussions will be negative, potentially violent, and likely the fault of those deemed to have instigated them. It paints a picture of a volatile environment where words, beliefs, and even existence itself can be interpreted as a provocation.
The phrase “provoking the right” itself is loaded.… Continue reading
On the Fox News talk show “The Five,” host Jesse Watters reacted to teleprompter and escalator malfunctions during President Trump’s U.N. visit, calling the incidents an “insurrection.” Watters suggested the U.N. headquarters should be bombed or demolished in response to the malfunctions, with his co-hosts reacting with laughter. A U.N. spokesperson later clarified that the escalator issue was caused by a member of the U.S. delegation. Despite this, the White House stated it would investigate the incidents, which also sparked criticism on social media.

In Washington D.C., memorials for Charlie Kirk, a controversial figure known for his divisive commentary, have sparked debate. These tributes, including flags at half-staff and NFL in-game memorials, are seen as a highly politicized effort to enshrine Kirk’s ideology. This is reminiscent of Confederate memorialization, serving to promote specific political agendas and to silence opposition. The glorification of Kirk and his views is an insult to marginalized groups and reveals the current political climate.

The Republican party has been criticized for a double standard in its response to death, exemplified by Vice President JD Vance’s joke about potential civilian casualties in military strikes on boats in international waters. This comment has drawn ire, especially considering the GOP’s harsh crackdown on those criticizing the late Charlie Kirk, including firings and threats of action. This apparent inconsistency suggests the crackdown is not about decorum, but rather political retribution against perceived enemies, highlighting a pattern of stoking political division and potentially inciting violence.
