What Can You Do If a Mob Surrounds Your Car?

The left's deep-rooted violence is what insurrection looks like.

Sen. Charles Schumer openly threatened the Supreme Court, saying Kavanaugh would "pay the price" for overturning Roe v. Wade, shortly before Roske's assassination attempt - Glenn H. Reynolds

We live in ugly times — made uglier, and ever more violent, by the institutional left.

White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller didn’t mince words this weekend: “There is a large and growing movement of leftwing terrorism in this country,” he declared on X.
“It is shielded by far-left Democrat judges, prosecutors and attorneys general. The only remedy is to use legitimate state power to dismantle . . . terror networks.”

Progressives like Stephen King shrieked “extremist!” in response, but example after example backs Miller’s point.
In Chicago on Saturday, a mob of protesters surrounded ICE agents on a routine patrol, ramming their vehicle and boxing it in with 10 cars to frustrate immigration enforcement efforts.

Here’s how you could be a psychopath and never know it.

Psychopathy isn’t rare, just widely misunderstood and overlooked – even by those who have it - Hatty Willmoth 

Chances are, you’ve crossed paths with a psychopath today. 

With an estimated 1 in every 100 people meeting the criteria for psychopathy, it could’ve been the person who held the door for you this morning, the colleague across the desk, or the stranger doomscrolling beside you on the train. 

It could be your neighbour. 

Your partner. 

Or – maybe, just maybe – you...

White House Highlights 'Predators' Taken Off Chicago Streets Thanks to ICE: 

The White House is highlighting recent arrests of “predators” by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in the sanctuary city of Chicago, Illinois, as Mayor Brandon Johnson (D) declares certain spaces “ICE-free zones.”

What Caused the Collapse of Parental Authority? - Intellectual Takeout

What Caused the Collapse of Parental Authority? - Intellectual Takeout - Annie Holmquist

You’ve been there. 

You’re in the store, minding your own business when suddenly you hear the angry screams of a child, interspersed with:

“Johnny, get up off the floor this instant!
I mean it, Johnny! By the time I count to three…
Johnny, mommy will give you a cookie when we get to the car if you get up off the floor.”

Unfortunately, such a scenario is all too real in a society which no longer seems to value parental authority. 

In fact, parental authority seems to have all but disappeared in many families. 

Instead, children are given the velvet glove treatment – their desires must always be fulfilled, their whims never crossed.

• How did we arrive at such a state?...

"It no longer controls us"!!!

 

Federally funded researchers bury results on COVID vaccine effect on liver, kidney risks in youth | Just The News

NIH-funded study of "long COVID" and reinfection hides findings on risks stratified by vaccination status deep in a supplement, contradicting researchers' conclusions and media narrative that vaccines are the answer. - Greg Piper

• Parents may get an incomplete picture from healthcare providers who don't look too closely at federally funded research that promotes indiscriminate COVID jabs for kids, though.
• A research consortium buried a startling finding in its peer-reviewed study on biologically elusive "long COVID" and reinfection in patients under 21, published in a prestigious U.K. journal: Vaccinated kids who are reinfected have a higher risk of several long-term problems than unvaccinated kids, though it's the opposite for some other conditions.
• It's far from the first time researchers have buried findings that are inconvenient to the COVID establishment narrative...

'These guys are already here': Beijing-tied network training Chinese illegals to drive big rigs in U.S. * WorldNetDaily * by Daily Caller News Foundation

'These guys are already here': Beijing-tied network training Chinese illegals to drive big rigs in U.S. * WorldNetDaily * by Daily Caller News Foundation:

 Chinese illegal immigrants are obtaining commercial driver's licenses (CDL) and landing jobs in the U.S. trucking industry with support from a Chinese government-linked network, a Daily Caller News Foundation investigation discovered. The Chinese American Trucker Organization USA Inc. (CATOU) is a New York-based nonprofit trade organization registered as a 501(c)6 that has allegedly helped over 1,000 Chinese students obtain CDLs and has a 100% pass rate, according to its business filings, social media posts and website. Videos posted on social media by an individual who crossed the U.S. southern border illegally shows they were able to rapidly obtain California CDLs after taking courses taught by CATOU instructors.

Emails: Biden Demanded CIA Coverup of Embarrassing Ukraine Intelligence | RealClearPolitics

At the specific request of then-Vice President Joe Biden, the CIA buried an embarrassing intelligence report detailing the poor view the Ukrainian government took of his diplomatic efforts and the business dealings of his own family in that country. - Philip Wegmann

Biden had traveled to Kyiv in December 2015, ostensibly to meet with leaders of that fledgling democracy and to deliver a warning against “the cancer of corruption.”...

But behind the scenes, Ukrainian officials expressed “bewilderment and disappointment” that the vice president had crossed the Atlantic “almost exclusively to deliver a generic speech.”...

• After Biden returned stateside, members of the Poroshenko administration “privately mused” at how American media treated “the alleged ties” of his family “to corrupt business practices in Ukraine.” 
• It was, in their minds, “evidence of a double standard within the United States Government towards matters of corruption and political power.”...
