America Under Siege: Antifa

Antifa is the third episode in the America Under Siege film series from Dangerous Documentaries (a project of the Capital Research Center) and Cohesion Films. Each episode profiles the influence of radical Marxists on various segments of American society.

Another dispatch from the dusty, dangerous political trail by Clint Carson When I last left y’all, I was explaining why Democrats always get away with it while Republicans always lose their strays. And since then, the Bob Menendez (D) trial began in New Jersey.

Threat of Antifa violence shuts down “Antifa” documentary premiere

The September 25 premier of America Under Siege: Antifa, the latest film from Dangerous Documentaries (like Bombthrowers, a project of the Capital Research Center), at Milo Yiannopoulos's Free Speech Week at U.C. Berkeley has been cancelled, in part due to security concerns stemming from members of the radical terrorist organization Antifa (short for anti-fascist action) — the very same group the film exposes.

The left's low power coup

The medium known as low power FM radio (LPFM) is, on the surface, hardly the stuff revolutions are made of. Yet this veteran medium is beloved of the free speech-hating Left because it offers a cheap buy-in with enormous gains. Since 2001, LPFM radio stations have rapidly developed in cities and regions across the United States. With an established network of leftist “free radio” groups ready to train, advise, and equip them, activists with no prior experience in broadcasting have the capability to organize people and spread their anti-American message.

The unbearable phoniness of Black Lives Matter

Like Holden Caulfield, I am always on the alert for phonies, and one of the biggest phonies to come out of the political/ideological realm these days is the so-called Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement. According to BlackLivesMatter.com, BLM is “a chapter-based national organization working for the validity of Black life… working to (re)build the Black liberation movement…(and) a call to action and a response to the virulent anti-Black racism that permeates our society.”

SPLC won't label Antifa a hate group

Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) president Richard Cohen offered the Washington Examiner the SPLC’s views on Antifa, a violent, far-left movement responsible for many recent attacks on free speech.

Robert Spencer: Southern Poverty Law Center won't classify Antifa as 'hate group'

Of course. The SPLC and Antifa have the same overall goal: to destroy the freedom of speech and allow only Leftists access to the public square. The SPLC demonizes and tries to destroy dissenters (including foes of jihad terror) by lumping them in with the likes of the Ku Klux Klan and neo-Nazis. Antifa, a genuinely violent and hateful group, doesn't make the list because it doesn't dissent from the Leftist agenda, it works to advance it.

Gorka goes, and Trump lets him

Dr. Sebastian Gorka, a deputy assistant to President Trump, and an aide to former White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon, has resigned (or was fired). This is totally expected, after Bannon resigned, but still tremendously unfortunate.

Republican spokesmen aren't very good Republicans

Since Inauguration Day, Republicans and (some) conservatives have decried the relentless media assault on the Trump administration. From Russia to Charlottesville, members of the Fourth Estate have almost without exception given this nascent presidency no quarter.

Obamacare penalties for uninsured are higher than ever

One essential aspect of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), better known as Obamacare, is the health insurance overhaul’s individual mandate. Under the 2010 law, Americans lacking health insurance coverage beginning in 2014 are required to pay a penalty. The Obama administration billed that penalty as a minor fine, but the numbers show otherwise.

Affirmative action is failing minority students

A new analysis of the top American universities by the New York Times finds that black and Hispanic students are more underrepresented in higher education than they were 35 years ago – despite affirmative action policies aimed at increasing college attendance for minorities.

The Left’s playbook revealed

A confidential “Plan for Action” detailing the strategy behind the Leftist smear artist David Brock’s strategy has leaked to the media. The plan reveals his intention to influence every level of government in the United States during the presidency of Donald Trump with the hope to turn the U.S. solidly progressive by 2020.

Why does Keith Ellison think NK’s Kim is a better leader than Trump?

Last week, on a panel at the Netroots Nation conference, Congressman Keith Ellison (D-Minn.) said, “North Korea is a serious thing. You have this guy [Trump] making bellicose threats against somebody else who has very little to lose over there. Kim Jong-un, the world always thought he was not a responsible leader. Well, he’s acting more responsible than this guy is.”

The political motives behind sanctuary city "generosity"

The leaders of so-called "sanctuary cities"--cities that shield illegal immigrants from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)--often praise the values of tolerance, diversity, and charity for their unwillingness to assist federal law enforcement in removing undocumented individuals who have committed crimes. But the money and power that illegal immigrants bring to those cities' elites tells a different story.

Antifa: the resurgence of left-wing street warfare

Left-wing domestic terrorism has increased at alarming rates since the 2016 election under the auspices of an underground radical movement that calls itself “Antifa,” or “anti-fascist action.” Much of this violence has been centered around Portland, Oregon, where Antifa guerrillas have assaulted peaceful demonstrators and conservative groups in the name of combating an ever-expanding definition of fascism.

Major Newspapers Just Pretend to Have Conservative Columnists

In the media bias analysis business, we look at news pieces differently compared with opinion pieces or columns. For news pieces, we expect the facts and allow for some context, although that’s where most of the bias seeps in. For opinion, we expect facts to be arranged in a way to make the writer’s case, and we award bonus points for at least attempting to explain the other side fairly.

A victory for free speech at Claremont McKenna College

In an act to preserve free speech on college campuses, Claremont McKenna College in southern California will discipline seven students responsible for preventing an audience from hearing conservative speaker Heather Mac Donald talk in April.

GuideStar has more to do, if it cares about its objectivity

This month, after a justified public outcry, the online charity evaluator GuideStar quickly reversed its decision to stick the Southern Poverty Law Center's discredited "hate-group" labels on GuideStar's profiles of conservative nonprofits.

Emails show Seattle's coordination with activists in minimum wage research

Last month, researchers from the University of Washington informed the city of Seattle that despite the best efforts of the Service Employees International Union they had failed to repeal the law of supply and demand. Contrary to the promises of city government, the UW team--originally commissioned to study the effects of the measure by the city government--found that the union-backed minimum wage hike to $13/hour (en route to further increases to $15/hour) had reduced lower-wage employees' earnings by $125 per month.
