Avakian is a communist in America from the “good old days” of protest. One of the original SDS (students for a democratic society) members and leaders, he’s been trying to stir up trouble for many decades. And he’s made a living at it and continues to do so. Like the SDS, he advocates action over words, and for all practical purposes, he can be called the inspiration for the Antifa movement. Reading this article it’s fun to see where his “supporters” don’t think he’s radical enough.…
One of the more bizarre things about the 487s is that they aren’t a secretive group. They actually advertise their tactics and locations for everyone to see. When the law enforcement folks aren’t prepared, don’t always assume it’s because they were surprised.

Aiken County in South Carolina is an example of something that is happening in non-487 counties. An older county in SC that still has a majority of good folks, the northern migration to the south is changing it’s culture. The liberals organize and vote, so even though the county went strongly for Trump, the city and state politics are incredibly liberal.

Identity politics is the real racism, misogyny and xenophobia. The very notion that people can be judged on their actions is anathema to the left. I didn’t like Obama because of his actions as President, not because he was black. I don’t like Susan Rice because of her actions, not because she is a woman. The left are the real racists, misogynists and xenophobes.…
There was a time in America when we broke up big corporations. We didn’t break them up because they weren’t providing a useful service. We broke them up because we didn’t believe that their size was in the best interests of the American people and its economy. Now we’ve gone in a completely different direction.…
Wikileaks is doing the job that our media used to. The deep state has to vilify Assange because they don’t like their exposure as liars and opportunists. In a different time, we’d be reading these stories in the traditional media.

Good analysis of the destruction of the media. In a way, we all lose when the media abandon’s its role to inform and hold an out of control government accountable. The internet helps get the word out, but it alss helps build walls, with people gravitating to what they like and believe and not taking the time to learn opposing views. Of course the media will blame the Russians for making this happen.…
It’s good news that punishment is being passed out here. The sad thing is that this is taking so long to accomplish. First complaints were in 2012. The biggest problem with our justice system is that it is no longer swift and certain. And of course these brothers are the owners of the Cleveland Browns and the Governor of Tennessee.…
This is another case of a headline wanting you to believe something that isn’t true. Brooks is no fan of Trump or the American people. His argument isn’t that McConnell is a terrible majority leader. His argument is that we need a new speaker to convince us that all is well and that we are stupid and just need to follow the deep state’s plan.
