Category: The Violence Inherent in The Left

Kevin Bass PhD MS

I was a lifelong Democrat. I thought most conservatives were ignorant or evil or lying. I believed almost everything written in the New York Times, The New Republic, and the Atlantic. I was horrified when conservatives criticized the authorities. Every criticism I saw: I thought all of it was motivated by animus, resentment, self-interest, or ignorance.

Whatever truth there might have been in the criticism, I saw as a mere “half-truth”: an exploitation of this or that cherrypicked fact being weaponized. Why did I see it in terms of weaponization? Because I was biased: I saw liberal establishment institutions and figures as fundamentally good, so all criticism of them was automatically interpreted as being in bad faith.

Didn’t the critics know that these institutions or figures were fundamentally good? If they didn’t, they were ignorant. If they did, they were evil. It was that simple. This meant that any legitimate criticisms would just be dismissed, as if bouncing off of an impenetrable bulletproof shield.

This all changed once I started writing about the pandemic. Soon people started talking about me the way I once thought about conservatives. This led to a complete identity collapse as I came to understand that my old worldview was hateful and ignorant, that I hadn’t understood what I had been judging.

I cannot forget the hearing that led to my dismissal from medical school a year after I started writing. During the hearing, people talked about me as if I wasn’t human. My behavior was interpreted in the worst possible light. Complete fabrications were created. Nobody was concerned with the truth, only horrified at my apparent “unprofessional behavior”, which was really a mirror of their unprofessional behavior directed at me. They structured the hearing to make it virtually impossible for me to speak and explain that what was being said was a lie. And nobody seemed to have any problem with this. Why? Because I was bad. If I am bad, then every mistreatment and every violation of the school’s own policies became justified. A person who is bad does not deserve any rights. They only deserve punishment.

But the thing I remember most was the allusions to my social media activity. They said, “Kevin is driven by resentment from his childhood.” I wasn’t. I was on good terms with my parents. They alleged that I needed psychotherapy to deal with this trauma. It was a completely fake story that they had constructed about me, to demean me, to marginalize me, to try to explain the views I had expressed: that something terribly wrong had happened during the pandemic. They couldn’t imagine that I might have legitimate points. So they reduced me to the same kinds of psychological caricatures that I once reduced conservatives to in my own mind.

When I was dismissed, I was broken. But I had help from friends who helped me understand what happened. And I came to realize that a hysteria had overtaken the left. I spent a lot of time reading about show trials, about witch trials, and so on. I also connected with people who had experienced similar things and came to realize that something similar had happened to hundreds of physicians around the country. My story wasn’t unique. It was all the same story over and over again.

I cannot believe the person I once was. I cannot believe that I could exist like that. I still don’t understand how I could be like that, or how millions of people in this country could continue being like that. It disturbs me greatly.

One thing I know is that whatever this thing is that is driving people crazy needs to be destroyed. It is hostile to civilization and to our humanity. It causes us to dehumanize each other and try to destroy each other. It is the very same monstrous thing that I once attributed to conservatives. But it had been inside me, and I could now see it inside others. This is something I still grapple with.

That said…

I don’t want anyone to feel bad for me. I just wanted to share my thoughts about leftism, from someone who has been there, and been put through the fire.

But my life is good now. Or at least it’s promising. I couldn’t be happier.

So we are learning the lesson that hundreds of millions came to ‘understand’ by losing their lives in the 20th century. The left can never be allowed to come to power human life means nothing to them. Their empathy is all show. The only thing they care about is the ideological

Democrats are trying to incite violence while pretending to be proponents of peaceful protest. And the liberal media is always there to give them cover. And this isn’t a new phenomenon either.

Make no mistake about it: Democrats want a civil war.

Democrats Want a Civil War, and We’ve Got the Receipts

Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) is once again stirring controversy, this time accusing President Donald Trump of pushing the country toward civil war. Speaking in an interview, Waters declared, “I’m worried that Trump is on the edge of creating a civil war. He alluded to it more than once.”
It certainly wouldn’t be a Trump presidency if Democrats weren’t claiming that Trump wants to start a civil war. We heard that kind of rhetoric during his first term, and of course, it was inevitable that we’d hear it during his second.

She went further, claiming Trump had suggested there could be a civil war if he wasn’t reelected. “Now, this president is putting us in a position where hungry people are going to be on the street,” she said, without evidence. “Where non-profits who were waiting for their checks are not going to get them. When that happens, what does Trump expect? Oh, I believe he expects violence. I believe he expects confrontation. I believe he’s working toward a civil war.”

Waters insisted, however, that Democrats wouldn’t take the bait. “We’re not going to get goaded. We’re not going to get tricked into that. We’re going to continue to do our work,” she said.

Her remarks drew immediate backlash from Trump supporters, who accused her of stoking division while blaming Trump for the very thing she appeared to be warning against. During a panel on CNN, conservative commentator Scott Jennings pointed out that Waters is far from alone in making such inflammatory comments.

“Hakeem Jeffries said earlier this year, ‘We’re going to fight in the streets.’ Ayanna Pressley, Jasmine Crockett, other members of the Democratic Conference have continuously alluded to violence because they’re so angry about the Trump administration,” Jennings said.

CNN’s Abby Phillip pushed back, arguing that Jeffries’ remarks were about protesting. “Well, I don’t — I think it’s unfair to say that they’re alluding to violence,” she said, before trying to clarify that “when Jeffries was saying that, he was talking about going to the streets in protest.”

Jennings wasn’t convinced. “He said, ‘Fight in the streets,’” he countered. Of course, he’s correct.

“Right now, we’re going to keep focused on the need to look out for everyday New Yorkers and everyday Americans who are under assault by an extreme MAGA Republican agenda that is trying to cut taxes for billionaires, donors, and wealthy corporations and then stick New Yorkers and working-class Americans across the country with the bill. That’s not acceptable,” Jeffries said back in January. “We are going to fight it legislatively. We are going to fight it in the courts. We’re going to fight it in the streets.”

The implication was clear. The left can claim that this was a call for protesting, but many saw it for what it really was: a call for violence. One only needs to look at the violence leftists are perpetrating against Tesla dealerships and owners to know that left-wing activists got the message.

Naturally, the liberal media makes excuses for this rhetoric, and Phillip, faced with the facts Jennings presented to her, most certainly knew he was right but wouldn’t admit it.

“I think that’s not what — that’s clearly not the concept,” she muttered.

Pete Seat, another conservative voice on the panel, pointed out the hypocrisy. “But if Trump uses the word ‘fight,’ everyone loses their minds,” he noted.

Democrats are trying to incite violence while pretending to be proponents of peaceful protest. And the liberal media is always there to give them cover. And this isn’t a new phenomenon either.

Make no mistake about it: Democrats want a civil war.

Gun Control Lawmaker Makes Actual Threats of Public Violence in Congress

By Larry Keane
Congressman Robert Garcia (D-Calif.) reminded the country last week why the Second Amendment is so vital to the United States.

The former Long Beach mayor called on the Democratic Party to “bring actual weapons” in the “fight for democracy.”

Those are chilling and dangerous words coming from a lawmaker who wants to strip every law-abiding citizen of their rights to keep and bear arms. Rep. Garcia made the call-to-action at the same time he used derogatory language to belittle Elon Musk, who has been heading up President Donald Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

The remarks weren’t the product of heated and passionate debate. He planned them. Rep Garcia brought a poster-sized photo of Musk to the hearing, referring to the image as a “d— pic.”

After that, he doubled down. On both his foul language and his call to arms.

“I think [Musk is] also harming the American public in an enormous way,” Rep. Garcia told CNN’s host Brianna Keilar, according to Fox News. “And what I think is really important and what the American public want is for us to bring actual weapons to this bar fight. This is an actual fight for democracy, for the future of this country.”

‘Incite Violence’

The row is rooted in President Trump’s slashing of the federal workforce, a promise he made on the campaign trail. Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) wasn’t standing for it. She quickly introduced a censure resolution saying “violence, threats of violence, or attempts to incite violence against Federal employees should not be tolerated in the House of Representatives.”

“The Left is running like roaches with the light on over @DOGE,” Rep. Mace posted on X. “@RepRobertGarcia went far beyond the pale last night, calling for weapons to be used against @ElonMusk. This won’t be ignored. We’re making an example out of him.”

Rep. Garcia dismissed anyone considering taking him at his word for American citizens to heed his call and take up arms for his agenda.

“Obviously, I was using a figure of speech,” Rep. Garcia told The Long Beach Post.

Except he wasn’t. And he didn’t. Rep. Garcia said he wanted the Democratic Party to “bring actual weapons.” Then, he doubled down on it.

This might be the first time Rep. Garcia has indicated any support for private firearm ownership. He’s in favor of banning Modern Sporting Rifles (MSRs) and banning adults under 21 from possessing a firearm. He also wants so-called “universal background checks” which would require a national firearm registry to work and would be very convenient that Rep. Garcia would know exactly who owned what firearms and where they are stored. Rep. Garcia wants to institute a federal licensing system. That would be even more convenient because he could ensure only those who support his political agenda would be approved.

Sound Orwellian enough? Not for Rep. Garcia. He wants people to “bring actual weapons” in his fight against President Trump and those carrying out his agenda. That’s an actual threat of war. Pitting Americans against a duly-elected president and the administration carrying out that president’s agenda – and the duly-elected Congress and the judiciary – isn’t only maniacal. It’s the very definition of tyranny.

Unsurprisingly……..

Trump Cabinet Nominees And Administration Appointees Threatened, Swatted Before Thanksgiving.

Former President Donald Trump’s cabinet nominees faced a series of threats overnight and on Wednesday morning.

“Several of President Trump’s Cabinet nominees and Administration appointees were targeted in violent, unAmerican threats to their lives and those who live with them,” Trump campaign spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt wrote in a press release on Wednesday morning.

The threats, which came the night before Thanksgiving eve, “ranged from bomb threats to “swatting,’” in which a suspect falsely reports an emergency to trigger a police response against his target, according to the release. Police and “other authorities” quickly acted for the “safety of those who were targeted.”

“President Trump and the entire Transition team are grateful for their swift action,” Leavitt wrote. “With President Trump as our example, dangerous acts of intimidation and violence will not deter us.”

Trump has so far faced at least two attempted assassination attempts. In the first, a would-be assassin shot Trump in the head at a Pennsylvania rally, and in the second, a shooter waited in the bushes on a Florida golf course to ambush him, as The Federalist previously reported. Apparently this violence is now being directed toward Trump’s associates.

Leftists have consistently incited violence against Trump by calling him a “Nazi,” peddling the recent Madison Square Garden media hoax and refusing to abandon their incendiary rhetoric in the days after the first assassination attempt.

Donald Trump Jr.: ‘Why is Kamala’s DOJ Publicizing … a Bounty on My Dad’s Head?’

Routh’s son said the suspect is a registered Democrat and hates Trump like “all reasonable people” but is not a violent person.

Son of Would-Be Trump Assassinator Speaks Out

The son of Ryan Wesley Routh, the would-be assassinator who attempted to shoot former President Donald Trump on Sunday at his West Palm Beach Golf Course, dropped bombshell news about his father.

Oran Routh revealed shocking information to the Daily Mail about his father, who is now in the custody of officials after being arrested. Routh’s son said the suspect is a registered Democrat and hates Trump like “all reasonable people” but is not a violent person.

“I don’t like Trump either,” Oran said. “He’s my dad, and all he’s had is a couple of traffic tickets, as far as I know. That’s crazy. I know my dad and love my dad, but that’s nothing like him.”

Oran told the outlet that he didn’t know his father was in Florida, adding that the 58-year-old gunman was previously living in Hawaii with his girlfriend. Routh reported his father had no military experience and had recently traveled to Ukraine to help volunteer after Russia invaded the country.

When asked if his father ever owned a gun, the 35-year-old son said, “Not that I know of.”

The second attempted assassination attempt on Trump in just two months happened after Routh was seen carrying a rifle near the vicinity of the 45th president’s Florida golf course. Trump was on the green when Secret Service agents spotted Routh’s AK-47 through snipers with tripods. They immediately took action. The agents took four shots before the alleged suspect took off and into a car nearby. Local police officials pulled him over on I-95 and arrested him. They also found a scope, two backpacks, and a GoPro camera. Officials said the suspect was between 300 and 500 yards from Trump.

During a press conference, Special Agent Rafael Barros explained that Secret Service agents move alongside Trump, staying one or two holes ahead of him while he plays golf. The incident occurred between the 5th and 6th holes, which is known to be a more “vulnerable” area of the course due to its proximity to the road.

“Nasty” was Trump’s word for Hillary Clinton in 2016. It deserves wider circulation.

Andy Beshear Hopes Somebody Rapes J.D. Vance’s Wife or Daughter.

The Democrat Party is filled with trash people.

That’s not to say every Democrat is trash; just an abnormally large number of them are disgusting, nasty, vile, hateful liars whose fondest wish is to harm people they disagree with.

They want to cancel them, put them in jail, lock them in their homes, shame them for not wearing masks, force them to inject themselves with experimental gene therapies, and…have their family members raped.

And that’s just the party leaders. Look outside at the protesters, and they want to murder Jews.

What a nice group of people.

Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear is one of these “fine people” to coin a phrase, who, when he drops his mask, reveals himself to be a hateful scumbag of a man.

Donald Trump Just Won
The shooter wasn’t just evil, but stupid

Regular readers of this newsletter, and people who hate my guts, don’t need to be told my opinion of Donald Trump. And speaking as someone who has managed to stay off the Trump Train for the past eight years:

This kicks ass.

Photo by Evan Vucci

The guy almost gets his brains blown out on live TV, and he stands up with blood on his face and pumps his fist in defiance. I think he said, “Fight!” Or maybe some other F-word. Whatever it was, it was awesome.

It may be the most American thing I’ve ever seen with my own eyes.

Whatever you may think of him as a person, or a past and probably future president, Trump showed us who he is in a moment of crisis.

And not a “crisis” like global warming or a Supreme Court ruling or the price of almond milk at Starbucks, but the crisis of actually getting hit in the head by a would-be assassin’s bullet.

Remarkable. My non-MAGA hat is off to him.

I’m glad the assassin missed his target, I’m angry that he killed a bystander, and I look forward to finding out how the hell the Secret Service allowed it to happen.

The shooter wasn’t just evil, but stupid. He just handed the election to the guy he wanted to kill.

How does Trump lose after this?

Combine a small apocalyptic sect with one of its major prophecies being fulfilled, as they saw it, by a law enforcement agency who it is said were looking for headlines to bolster its reputation for an increased budget, and what you wind up with is this.

The Waco Siege: What Happened When the Feds Laid Siege to the Branch Davidian Compound

“The record of the Waco incident documents mistakes. What the record from Waco does not evidence, however, is any improper motive or intent on the part of law enforcement.”

The siege of the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas, is an important event in American history because it directly led to one of the biggest terrorist attacks on American soil – the bombing of the Oklahoma City Federal Building. It’s not necessary to defend this act of terrorism to understand why the entire freedom movement of the time was so incensed by it. Indeed, it stood as a symbol of federal overreach and the corruption of the Clinton Administration.

It’s important to separate fact from fiction when it comes to the siege of Waco, just as it is important to do so with the siege of Ruby Ridge or the attack on the American consulate in Benghazi. With every event, it is important to stick to the facts and what can be extrapolated from them to make the strongest argument about what went wrong and why, and what could be done differently in the future.

That just may be the most stupid move made yet….

Leftists Threaten to Attack Conservatives at Home, Church Should Trump Win the 2024 Election

Radical Leftists gathered outside the Heritage Foundation to demand a stop to “Project 2025″— the conservative non-profit’s plan for how they want a future Republican president to run the country.

Earlier this week, progressive rally-goers staged a protest, intimidating and threatening conservatives who want former President Trump back in office. Their focus is to demolish conservatives who plan to destroy the Left’s radical agenda that has made the United States unrecognizable.

Activists held signs that read, “Heritage Foundation is toxic to the nation” and “Stop The Coup 2025.” They also hung signs and crime scene tape around the building.

One of the protestors was captured on video threatening to harass staffers at their homes and churches. At the same time, another said accused Project 2025 of “turning the United States into a Christian conservative autocracy, that’s authoritarianism.”

“We need to go find out where they live, where they go to church, who they hang around with, and bird dog they asses,” an activist yelled.

Anne-Christine d’Adesky, leader of “Stop The Coup 2025,” described that the organization is intended as a “big tent” in opposition and that their “Plan B” is to be prepared in case the Republicans win in 2024. Jay W. Walker— a New York-based anti-fascist, or “antifa,” organizer, is also a part of the group.

“We have to embarrass them; that is a tactic,” the activists chanted. “Find out where they live. Find out where their office is!”

“When we disrupt business as usual, they pay attention. Money is their God. When you mess with their money, they will listen to you,” they continued. “What do we gotta do? Shut it down!”

The rally’s coalition includes radical groups such as The Center for Popular Democracy, Human Rights Campaign, CPD Action, Vocal New York, and Rise and Resist.

Stop the Coup 2025 also said that the “goal is to increase the attention mainstream media pays to Project 2025’s goal of dismantling our US system of government, reinforcing white supremacy, erasing the LGBTQ community, women’s rights, labor, immigration, and other rights, and urge Americans to sound the alarm and vote against this dangerous GOP platform in November.”

Jessica Bowman, a northeast Florida-based conservative grassroots activist, told Breitbart News that the “radical left is putting on full display their anxiety for a Trump victory in 2024.” She said that the Left’s provoked coordination and efforts to threaten Trump supporters should concern all Americans.

The press seems to care more now that it’s demoncraps getting hit

Election cybersecurity director was a victim of a ‘swatting’ attack in her home.

The director of the Department of Homeland Security’s cybersecurity infrastructure protection agency confirms she was the victim of a dangerous “swatting” attempt late last month. As first reported on January 22 by cybersecurity news outlet, The Record, local police in Arlington County, VA, arrived at Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) Director Jen Easterly’s residence around 9pm on December 30 after receiving a 911 call that falsely claimed a shooting had occurred in or near her home.

What is ‘swatting’?

“Swatting” refers to when malicious actors intentionally report nonexistent, often violent crimes at a target’s residence, with the intention of causing an aggressive, potentially harmful police response. The term originates in reference to the SWAT teams most often dispatched to handle the kinds of crimes reported by hoaxers. Although its origins reside in events such as simply calling in false bomb threats, swatting itself has grown in popularity over the years, initially through the online video gaming community. The FBI first referenced the “new phenomenon” as far back as 2008, but tactics have evolved since then to include more sophisticated methods such as hacking Ring cameras and employing “spoofing” technology to appear as though a 911 call is actually coming from a targeted residence. The technical complexity involved in Easterly’s incident is currently unclear.

There’s No Way the Media Is Touching the Latest Trans Mass Shooter Story

Mia had the details this afternoon about the wannabe transgender mass shooter, who was arrested but known to authorities for years due to aberrant and violent behavior. The FBI picked up Elizabeth Ballesteros West, formerly Francisco Frank Paramo, of Cottage Grove, Oregon, for allegedly plotting a mass slaughter of supposed ‘transphobes.’ West also shoved a shogun into the mouth of his father in 1993 and pulled the trigger, though the firearm failed to fire.

There’s ‘guess that party,’ a game that pops up when a Republican gets into ethical or legal trouble, though party affiliation vanishes from the reporting like Houdini when Democrats find themselves in similar circumstances. We’re rehashing another fan favorite for this story: will the media cover it? The answer is hell no.

The LGBT aspect aside, West is a neo-Nazi. As Mia noted, the would-be mass killer was happy to move to Eugene because there was an absence of blacks and Mexicans. West had numerous racist social media posts, along with images of Nazi flags. Just read the insanity:

According to a 23-page affidavit authored by an FBI special agent who specializes in behavioral threat assessment and terrorism-related crimes, the federal law enforcement agency was alerted all the way back on September 26, via an anonymous tip, that West was threatening to carry out a mass shooting at his workplace and accusing coworkers, his apparent targets, of “transphobia.”

In his threat posted to a Facebook “transwoman” support group, West claimed he was being “bullied by trans phobic a**holes” at work. At the “end of my rope” and “left with no alternative,” West indicated that he intended to “go out in a blaze of glory.”

“Well, I wish I had better news to tell but what I’m writing to you right now is the fact that I’m at the end of my rope[.] I’m probably gonna get fired from his job. I’m […] supposed to be called into the office this morning so I wonder what lies are going to spew in order to justify firing me. I’m too old to keep looking for jobs and I’ve had it up to here being bullied by trans phobic a**holes I am left with no alternative. I’ll probably have to go out in a blaze of glory. I’ve been preparing for this moment a long time at least then I’ll be remember I have no family no friends…So there really isn’t any point living anymore? I’m just gonna have to do what I have to do and pray for the gods to forgive me,” West wrote in a post to the Facebook page “TRANS WOMAN SUPPORT GROUP.”[…]

West’s dead boyfriend had owned a Nazi flag. Following his passing, West found the Nazi flag and kept it. West has “mixed feelings” about Nazi sentiments, the FBI affidavit says, is “juxtaposed” on the political climate in Israel, and thinks the Israelis treat Palestinians in the same manner that the Nazis persecuted the Jews during the Holocaust. West is also angry that U.S. immigrants enjoy welfare and food stamps on his tax dollars, yet he is unable to benefit from the same social programs.

In November, the FBI began tracking West’s alarming activity on X’s platform. There, he describes himself as a “Nazi dominatrix from Hell, who is tired of the blackening of America and Europe and ready to stand up to the Black orcs and the Jewish wizards.” Previously, West’s profile picture featured a Nazi flag, and his X biography stated he’s “an older woman trying to find her way.”

Mia noted the interviews the FBI had with West, the long history of disturbing posts, and the research he did to commit suicide—this person was severely mentally ill. You have mental health playing a major factor here, too. Either way you slice it, the media has zero interest in reporting on this story if they hope to weaponize it against Republicans.

I’ll use the lexicon of the PC police here: It seems every mass shooting, including attempts, featuring these individuals who are part of the alternate lifestyle is more insane than the last. Sure, the Left is going to point out that more ‘cisgender’ people have committed mass shootings. The problem is that these same folks have been peddling the narrative that mass shootings are an exclusively white, male, and Republican problem. At times, it’s been framed as some social defect or an illness. We now have multiple transgender mass shootings and like-minded plots being unearthed, and it’s another reminder of how a) authorities seem to know about all the perpetrators, regardless of how they identify, and b) how mental health always seems to be at the forefront of all these shootings.

It’s not a new story, but one that never gets old because the establishment media will never cease protecting the holy grail of liberal narratives.
