VT: The attack on the courthouse was entirely staged by Portland police and paid provocateurs working for the GOP. We can prove it and know it is now under investigation. Trump sent in illegal DHS thugs and the GOP brought in dozens of paid agitators in an attempt to turn a BLM protest into something that could be used to save his hopeless reelection campaign. He is going to have to turn to the Mossad and Federalist (Bolshevik) Society again. Trump ordered federal forces to quell Portland protests. But the chaos ended as soon as they left. https://t.co/bvBTzYQmkt — The Washington […]

VT is finding an interesting mix and now the proof is flooding in. Demonstrators are carrying printed instructions, the fake demonstrators, the ones with paintball or SWAT gear, the Proud Boys, the DeVos-Prince paid “anti-lockdown” types and the White Supremacists.

CNN Center, the cable network’s Atlanta headquarters, came under furious attack Friday night during protests over police brutality sparked by the death of an unarmed black man in Minneapolis.

CNN correspondent Nick Valencia began reporting on the frightening scene from a stairway inside the building, behind a phalanx of SWAT officers in the lobby, with an angry mob standing […]

A protest in Denver on Thursday night over the death of an unarmed black man in Minneapolis police custody took a violent turn when a driver apparently plowed into a crowd of protesters on purpose—speeding up and nearly running over a man who just barely escaped being seriously injured. Video of the incident posted to social media shows a black SUV honking repeatedly and trying to make it through a crowd of demonstrators as one of the protesters clings to the hood of the vehicle. The driver then accelerates and the man jumps off and walks away, but the driver turns […]
