90% of Portland Rioters Are Rewarded for Months of Destruction; Attempted Cop Killer Released

There’s a saying in management circles and parenting groups: That which is rewarded is repeated. Portland, Ore., has just ensured that its pet rioters will feel free to continue their destructive fires, looting, and terror attacks. These have been going on since late May, with only a brief respite during the wildfires. Apparently smokey air quality interferes with setting the police precincts on fire.

An analysis of antifa and Black Lives Matter, Inc™ rioters by KOIN 6 News shows that of the 213 people arrested by police in September alone, charges against 90% of them were dropped. Ninety percent.

Portland has been the scene of ongoing nightly riots since the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis police custody. Rioters are indulged and protected by the Portland ruling class. Those criticizing the rioters are dismissed as racists and other “ists” and shouted down from [im]polite society as supremacists of one sort or another. Business owners in downtown Portland, where most of the destructive riots have occurred, are already in economic free fall from the coronavirus shutdowns. City Hall has gotten an earful from them, including a prominent parking lot and real estate mogul, who sent the mayor photos of trash, graffiti, and dreck just steps away from city hall and demanded he do something about it.

KOIN 6 News reports that the vast majority of the cases brought against rioters were these (in order):

Interfering with the peace officer

Disorderly conduct

Riot

Resisting arrest

Assaulting an officer

Attempted escape

Harassment

Trespass

Attempted assault on peace officer

Criminal mischief

Arson

Possession of a destructive device

Unlawful use of a weapon

Reckless burning

Driving-related charges

Attempted assault

Unlawful possession of a firearm

Menacing

Robbery

Felon in possession of a firearm

Interfering with a police officer is likely to get most people arrested and prosecuted, but not so in Portland.

The Big Tech Ministry of Hysteria is so totalitarian, not even the President of the United States is allowed to offer dignified hope during a pandemic

Facebook and Twitter censorship is so totalitarian, not even the President of the United States can speak freely on the platform.

On October 6, Donald Trump posted to social media: “Flu season is coming up! Many people every year, sometimes over 100,000, and despite the Vaccine, die from the Flu. Are we going to close down our Country? No, we have learned to live with it, just like we are learning to live with Covid, in most populations far less lethal!!!”

The post was almost immediately removed by Facebook and flagged by Twitter. The social media monopolies warn that the President is “spreading misleading and potentially harmful information related to COVID-19.”

The Ministry of Hysteria only permits coronavirus panic

Facebook and Twitter are now clear: The only information allowed online is covid panic. These monopolies are now the Ministry of Hysteria, only allowing information that incites fear. No dignified interpretation of data is allowed. No rational approach to overcoming infectious disease is permitted. Everyone is to remain in a state of fear and control, as personal liberties are lost all across the country.

After overcoming covid-19 infection, President Trump told Americans “don’t let it dominate your life.” Trump’s strength and optimism should be embraced. Instead, social media companies are only allowing leaders to publish hysteria bout covid-19, to push for greater restrictions, to strengthen the medical police state, and to support Democratic governors who are destroying economies, livelihoods and threatening individual liberties.

Trump’s tweet encourages people to face the flu season with a sense of dignity and optimism, and the data is there to support his point of view. In most populations, covid-19 is less lethal than influenza. If the discussion was allowed to continue, then we’d be able to focus in on why people die of infections in the first place, and how we can reduce viral load and protect the most vulnerable demographics. Complications, hospitalizations and deaths from any infection depend on several factors that involve the health of the individual’s immune system.

But because we are only allowed to publish hysteria online, any discussion on improving mortality rates in the elderly is buried. Any information that helps the population strengthen their immune system is banned. Any hope and dignity is censored, even if it’s posted by the leader of the free world. (Related: The mortality rate for covid-19 is falling rapidly and here’s how we can improve it.)

Biden Blames Trump for Gretchen Whitmer Kidnap Attempt: ‘Why Can’t the President Just Say Stop?’

Former Vice President Joe Biden blamed President Donald Trump on Thursday for a foiled kidnapping plot by a group of extremists who intended to abduct Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer.

The FBI arrested six named alleged co-conspirators and seven others on Thursday morning for conspiring to kidnap the governor.

Though it did not name a specific political ideology, the FBI’s criminal complaint alleges that the members of the group “talked about creating a society that followed the U.S. Bill of Rights and where they could be self-sufficient.” Two apparently met at a Second Amendment rally.

One member of the group, Brandon Caserta, was seen in an online video in front of an anarchist flag.

Biden, speaking to reporters in Arizona alongside running mate Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA), said Trump’s rhetoric was to blame:

There is no place for hate in America. And both of us have been talking about this for some time, about how white supremacists and these militias area a genuine threat. I want to compliment the FBI and the police agencies for what they did, and how they stepped up. But look –the words of a president matter. Whether they can — you’ve heard me say this before. They can cause a nation to have th market rise or fall, go to war or bring peace, but they can also breathe oxygen into those who are filled with hate and danger, and I just think It’s got to stop. The president has to realize the words he utters matter.

Biden later referenced the Charlottesville “very fine people’ hoax, the false claim that Trump praised neo-Nazis in Charlottesville in 2017 (he had, in fact, said they should be “condemned totally”).

Though Vice President Mike Pence debunked the hoax on national television during a debate with Harris on national television Wednesday evening, Biden linked Charlottesville to Trump’s support for Michigan protesters earlier this year who opposed Whitmer’s draconian coronavirus shutdowns. (Last week, the Michigan Supreme Court struck down the 1945 emergency powers law that Whitmer had been using, ruling that it was unconstitutional.)

Trump said there were “very good people on both sides again,” Biden quipped to reporters in Arizona.

He noted that FBI Director Christopher Wray had recently said that white supremacists were the greatest domestic terror threat.

Biden added: “Why can’t the president just say stop?”

There is no evidence yet that the group involved in the kidnapping plot had white supremacist ties.

Trump, as Pence pointed out, has repeatedly condemned white supremacism.

It’s time to lift the veil on George Soros

Anyone who throws stones at billionaire atheist George Soros can expect to be shunned or censored by his protectors in the media. Just ask top Chicago Tribune columnist John Kass or former House Speaker Newt Gingrich.

A veteran journalist, Kass blasted Soros for bankrolling the election of soft-on-crime prosecutors. His snowflake Tribune colleagues accused him of publishing an “odious anti-Semitic conspiracy theory” and demanded an apology. But Kass refused to grovel, pointing out he was only repeating widely reported facts.

Gingrich charged on Fox News Channel that the “number one problem” behind riots and looting in big cities is “George-Soros-elected, left-wing, anti-police, pro-criminal district attorneys.” That triggered a Fox host who interjected, “I’m not sure we need to bring George Soros into this.”

“OK, so it’s verboten?” asked a surprised Gingrich. Five painful seconds of silence followed.

Despite media censors, the truth is that George Soros is bringing chaos to American cities. He’s using his millions to purchase district attorneys who refuse to prosecute low-level crimes and practice revolving-door-justice – releasing offenders back into the community with no-cash bail and lenient sentences.

In 2017, the Hungarian-born hedge-fund mogul spent $1.7 million to elect social justice warrior Larry Krasner as Philadelphia’s district attorney. Krasner smiled on election night as supporters chanted, “No good cops in a racist system!” and “F–- the FOP!” (the Fraternal Order of Police).

Crime has since soared in Philadelphia. U.S. Attorney William McSwain hammered Krasner recently for creating a “culture of lawlessness.” McSwain charged that “the staggering homicide and shooting rates in Philadelphia are proof that the district attorney’s radical experiment has failed.”

In Los Angeles, Soros is waging war on law and order by giving $1 million, so far, to make George Gascon L.A. County’s next district attorney. As San Francisco D.A., Gascon helped make his city a haven for the homeless and increasingly unlivable. He refused to prosecute camping on city sidewalks, public urination, soliciting sex and other crimes.

And in violence-riddled Chicago, Soros has spent $2 million this year to help keep State’s Attorney Kim Foxx in office. Under her watch, violent crime in Chicago is way up, with 290 murders and 1,480 shootings in the first seven months of 2020.

But funding progressive prosecutors is just the tip of the Soros iceberg. The 90-year-old radical is spending billions on a laundry list of liberal causes including abortion, LGBT activism, open borders, euthanasia, legalization of prostitution and drugs, judicial “reform,” gun control, defunding police, climate alarmism, erosion of U.S. support for Israel, and more.

Concealed Carry Permit Holders Grows Seven-fold in 20 Years, Still Rising

A new report shows the number of concealed carry permit applications is rising, even despite some states limiting Second Amendment rights during recent pandemic shutdowns. The number of permit holders for concealed firearms is nearly 20 million, according to a Washington Examiner report.

Since 1999, the number of concealed handgun permit holders has grown by at least seven-fold. The trend is continuing. That follows news that background checks for firearm sales topped 15.4 million so far this year, surpassing 2019’s totals and poised to eclipse the 2016 record of 15.7 million background checks in a single year. Forty percent of those buyers, almost 6.2 million, are first time buyers.

Twenty Year Trend

Record-setting gun sales have been the story of 2020. The surge in sales has also revealed a diversifying gun-owning population in America, with women and minorities comprising large percentages of buyers. Firearm retailer survey data show handgun purchases were by far the most common among buyers, and reasons of personal protection drove sales across all categories of firearms.

“I’ve seen a lot more single moms that are scared and need something to protect them,” said Dave Amon of Gunstop of Minnetonka, Minn. “They’re scared when people talk about defunding the police.”

This isn’t surprising given rioting, looting, and violence on the nightly news. Add to this backdrop criminals being released from jails and growing calls to “defund the police” and Americans are remedying their legitimate concerns by taking responsibility for their own safety.

The trend of an increasingly diverse gun buyer is mirrored in those obtaining concealed carry permits. “Permits for women and minorities continue to increase at a much faster rate than for either men or whites,” said John Lott, of the Crime Research Prevention Center, which tracks concealed carry permit applications.

That’s hardly new, though. The CPRC study shows nearly 20 million Americans today possess a concealed carry permit. That amounts to a more than seven-fold increase in permit carriers since 1999 when there were 2.7 million.

Israeli arms and defense companies invited to Abu Dhabi for Middle East’s largest exhibition of its kind

As part of the agreement, companies from the Gulf's defense sector will also take part in ISDEF 2021, which is scheduled to be held in Israel in June of next year

The defense relations between Israel and the Gulf States were for years a secret. Now, less than a month after Israel signed an agreement to establish full diplomatic relations with both the UAE and Bahrain, Israel's defense sector companies have been invited to openly participate in the upcoming International Defence Exhibition and Conference (IDEX) set to take place in Abu Dhabi in February 2021. IDEX is a biennial arms and defence technology sales exhibition and the largest of its kind in the Middle East.

Over recent days, IDEX organizers signed an agreement with the organizers of The Israel Defence Exhibition (ISDEF) to coordinate Israeli participation in the conference in Abu Dhabi.

IDEX is a five-day event held at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre which prior to the Covid-19 pandemic would attract 100,000 visitors from across the world to view exhibits and displays by over 1,000 companies from 60 countries. The upcoming event is expected to be smaller due to coronavirus, but unlike similar events, hasn't been canceled to date.
