The so-called angry crowds in home districts of some Republicans are actually, in numerous cases, planned out by liberal activists. Sad!

Where are these protests stemming from and what are the details of their actions? 
Here are seven things you need to know about them.

1. The roots of these protests can be traced to a George Soros-funded organization called Indivisible Guide. In his February 13 LevinTV episode, Mark Levin highlighted the organization's video that essentially provides a guide on how to cause chaos at town halls as a means of opposing Trump:

Levin also pointed to a Daily Signal piece that exposed how three of the main people involved with Indivisible Guide have ties to Soros:

Ezra Levin, a former staffer for Rep. Lloyd Doggett, D-Texas, and his wife, Leah Greenberg, are the president and vice president of the Indivisible Guide’s board, respectively.

Levin is also associate director of the Corporation for Enterprise Development, an anti-poverty nonprofit. Melissa Bradley, who sits on that group’s board, previously worked for Green for All, a group founded by liberal commentator and former Obama administration official Van Jones. She was appointed as a Soros Justice Fellow through the Open Society Foundations, which Soros founded.

Greenberg previously worked for Humanity United, which is funded by Soros’ Open Society Institute.

The secretary of Indivisible Guide, Angel Padilla, works for the National Immigration Law Center, which is funded by Soros through his Open Society Foundations. And treasurer Matt Traidi is the research team director for the Service Employees International Union, a major donor to and endorser of Democrat politicians, Capital Research Center notes.

The Daily Signal also noted that the Soros-connected group has gloated about disrupting "town halls held by Republican lawmakers in Utah, California, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Michigan, and Nebraska."

"What you have here are left-wing members of, or former members of Congress and their staffs, and leftists who worked for George Soros, who still work for George Soros, who are instigating this, who are promoting this or motivating this," Levin said. "That's not a grassroots effort."

2. Barack Obama is also connected to these protests..."

Hundreds of Universities Encourage Students to Report Peers for Offensive Speech - Breitbart

Hundreds of Universities Encourage Students to Report Peers for Offensive Speech - Breitbart:

"A report from the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) has revealed that over 230 American universities are encouraging students to report their peers for offensive speech.
Through bias-report systems, university administrators are encouraging students to report their peers for expressing offensive thoughts. Some are concerned that what constitutes “offensive” is entirely subjective and can be determined arbitrarily by the individual submitting the report."

Bad Medicine

davidthompson: Bad Medicine:
"I’ve previously mentioned the taxpayer-funded race hustler Dr Caprice Hollins, whose efforts to empower black Seattle school pupils included dismissing grammar and foresight as “white values” and expectations thereof as “cultural racism.” 
Rather than encouraging “students of colour” to articulate their thoughts, to be responsible and plan ahead, like everyone else, we must, said Dr Hollins, see people as “racial beings” and “teach [children] to view the world through a racial lens.” 
But we mustn’t correct their grammar and spelling, or expect them to turn up on time.

Similar sentiments were voiced, in a somewhat boggling way, by Dr Riyad A Shahjahan, a professional educator at Michigan State University and a “social justice theorist,” who wants us to believe that people with brown skin are mystical and exotic, akin to leprechauns, and, unlike white people, “inhabit [their] bodies fully.” 
Dr Shahjahan also denounces expectations of attentiveness and academic competence, and even punctuality, as racist and oppressive. 

We should, he says, embrace “embodied pedagogy” and “disrupt Eurocentric notions of time.”..."

Democrats Attack Trump For Enforcing Their Own Immigration Law

Democrats Attack Trump For Enforcing Their Own Immigration Law | Stock News & Stock Market Analysis - IBD:
"Immigration: The deportation rules announced this week by Department of Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly were greeted with the expected outrage from the usual suspects. 
But since when is enforcing the law a crime?
In this case, the law that Kelly plans to enforce is the 1965 Immigration and Nationality Act, which was approved by 52 Democrats in the Senate and 202 Democrats in the House in a Democrat-controlled Congress and was signed into law by President Johnson, a Democrat.
That hasn't stopped today's Democrats from decrying the DHS memo as obscene and horribly un-American..."

Jesse Jackson Jr. gets about $138.4K in annual benefits

Jesse Jackson Jr. gets about $138.4K in annual benefits - Story | WFLD: 
"CHICAGO (AP) - Records from former U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr.'s divorce case show the government has given him large benefit checks after he served time in prisons for stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars from his campaign fund.
Jackson receives about $138,400 annually, the Chicago Tribune reported.
Jackson's attorney, Barry Schatz, said about $100,000 of that is workers' compensation and is tax free. 
The rest of his benefits are Social Security Disability Insurance payments, some of which may be taxable.
Jackson received the payments because he has depression and bipolar disorder, which led to an extended leave from Congress in 2012.
"Whatever benefits Jesse Jackson Jr. has, he earned them, and as a matter of law, he's entitled to them," Schatz said. 
"If the government thought he wasn't entitled to them, they wouldn't be paying them."..."

Democrats Attack Trump For Enforcing Their Own Immigration Law | Stock News & Stock Market Analysis - IBD:

"In any case, the memos make clear that DHS still intends to prioritize their deportation efforts on illegals who are 1) criminals, 2) drug traffickers or 3) national security risks. Anyone want to object to that?

If Democrats don't like the 1965 law — which their party wrote and passed — they should try to convince the public that it needs to be changed, rather than mindlessly attack the president who tries to enforce its provisions."
