The Left Adopts ‘Aggressive’
The mainstream media loves to condemn violence and aggression when it comes from the far-right, but hesitates to do so when the attacks are coming from the left.
An extreme example is the media’s disappointing response to the recent shootings in Texas and Ohio.
The Texas shooting was committed by a far-right individual who had complained about the ‘Hispanic invasion.’ The Ohio shooting was committed by a socialist who supported Antifa.
Both individuals are psychos and deserve condemnation from all sides – but instead, the media blamed the Texas shooting on President Trump’s ‘rhetoric’ and completely failed to comment on the Ohio shooter.
Democrats have also blamed Trump’s ‘nationalist rhetoric’ for a series of attacks on ICE offices in Texas.
“This disturbing public discourse shrouds our critical law enforcement function and unnecessarily puts our officers’ safety at risk,” says San Antonio ICE Director Daniel Bible.
“We cannot allow political discourse to lead us to the point of violence, where federal employees, innocent people doing their jobs, are put in harm’s way,” adds FBI agent Christopher Combs.
Last weekend, nearly 100 people were arrested in New York City during a demonstration outside an ICE office.
The city was forced to close major roadways as protestors sat in the streets waving signs that read “Close the camps” and “Abolish ICE.”
Democrats this month also took aim at the Supreme Court, threatening to add more seats to the bench if the court issues a pro-Second Amendment ruling on a case related to gun control laws in New York.
“The Supreme Court is not well. And the people know it,” wrote Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) in a filing. “Perhaps the court can heal itself before the public demands it be ‘restructured in order to reduce the influence of politics.’ Particularly on the urgent issue of gun control, a nation desperately needs it to heal.”
We haven’t seen such a blatant threat to the judicial system since the 1930’s, when Roosevelt was so frustrated with the Supreme Court over its rulings on his New Deal that he threatened to add six justices to the bench.
Can you imagine Democrats’ response if Republicans had threatened Obama’s Supreme Court??
In other news, several Democratic candidates are taking aim at the fossil fuel industry and demanding that companies make up for their role in global warming.
Presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders says fossil fuel companies are guilty of “criminal activity” because they knowingly released greenhouse gases into the air.
Rival candidate Jay Inslee sees these companies as murderers, Kirsten Gillibrand wants to create a fossil fuel “excise tax,” and Elizabeth Warren has a plan to sue them.
Even Sleepy Joe Biden has promised to “take action against fossil fuel companies.”
Unfortuantley, these strategies are likely to impact working-class families to the tune of layoffs and increased energy costs.
“These campaign plans all seem to pit their goals against the working families who rely on affordable American energy in every facet of their daily lives,” says Ben Marter, a spokesman for the American Petroleum Institute.
Ironically, the working class is exactly who the Democrats are trying to save.
More stupidity from the loony left. I can remember a time when these types of proposals would’ve caused that candidate’s campaign to collapse and come to a not so graceful end.

This article is a joke, right?
NOPE!!
The only joke is on the American public that believes the democrat biased rhetoric.
The The Left is all about! Do as I say! Not as I do! Left is all about! Do as I say! Not as I do!It kind of reminds us of a bunch of “Out of Control Children”” Who never learned the correct procedure
I just hope the insanity of the Dems is on full display so that rational people will not allow the insanity to take over our nation!!!
Democrats want to fix the Supreme Court? It doesn’t work well in their mind only because most of the decisions don’t match their philosophy. I do often wonder though; how can 9 supreme court justices use the same founding document as their guide and almost every decision is split 5-4?
I heard the answer to this one the other day… there are two interpretations of the constitution now and the dems like what they call a ‘living’ constitution which is open for interpretation based on the interpreters current concepts of the world instead of the actual constitution which is a framework that the founding fathers set down to guide us through as much of the growing pains that they already knew were coming. In other words, the dems don’t give a crap about what the constitution really is, it means nothing because they can use any interpretation they want now.
That is a great question. Do you think there maybe bias in the Supreme Court and there by not really looking at the Constitution as it is written. (Hell Yes) and what the Fouding Fathers were trying to indicate in the meaning.
This idiocy leads to where countries like Venezuela is today. Getting rid of public’s way to protect themselves (guns), thought police, etc is the slippery slope to socialism . I talked to a Venezuelan today and she said there aren’t any dogs as they have had to eat their pets. People are starving. Why would anyone other than a lunatic want to go to socialism???
This is exactly the agenda of the Democrats. If hey can get you to disarm to the point of you not being able to defend yourself they will become your enslavers. History has always shown, in order to have power over you, it must remove those obstacles that would allow for you to defend or fight back. We must never allow ourselves to be in that position and must defend our 2nd Amendment Rights.
