 The end of the beginning.'
"When I look at the people who are out there doing the violence, that's not the people that we see here in the day who are out there legitimately exercising their 1st Amendment rights," McDonnell said. "These are people who are all hooded up — they've got a hoodie on, they've got face masks on."

As the LA riots continued to gain fuel from an unknown source, the LAPD arrested 50 people over the weekend. The arrests included a man accused of ramming a motorcycle into a line of officers and another suspect who allegedly threw a Molotov cocktail. The Attorney General insisted that the federal government has jurisdiction over California in prosecuting people involved in the violent riots. Last night AG Bondi appeared on Fox News's Hannity. She was asked if the supremacy clause was an issue in deciding jurisdiction in prosecuting rioters. Bondi responded: 

“We have jurisdiction, and under 18 USC 231, we’re going to go after you. If you assault an LAPD officer, if you assault a deputy, we are going to go after you. If three or more persons in the course of civil disobedience injure a law enforcement officer … we’re good to prosecute you. No longer will you be left out alone in the cold,” she responded.

“If California won’t protect state officers, we will,” Bondi added.

The attorney general also said the federal government would be charging rioters and looters with much heavier penalties.

The eruption in Los Angeles began when immigration agents showed up to arrest people at their jobs. They hadn’t told the city they were coming, yet somehow there were protestors assembled and waiting. They quickly surrounded the ICE agents. The LA police was extremely slow to respond. All of which confirms that LA is a sanctuary city led by officials who do not believe in federal immigration laws or American sovereignty. It is like a third world country existing within the US. The President has sparingly used the National Guard to protect federal officers and federal buildings. He still reserves the right to invoke the Insurrection Act. At that point the Guard can take on a more direct role in putting down the protests.

Israel said it was preparing to deport Greta Thunberg and other passengers of an aid ship it intercepted on the way to Gaza. Originally her voyage was supposed to be about climate, then it became about the Palestinians.

Russia launched almost 500 drones and missiles at Ukraine, the largest drone strike of the war.

The U.S. needs samarium, a rare earth metal, to build fighter jets and missiles. One problem: China produces the world supply.

Israel said it was preparing to deport Greta Thunberg and other passengers of an aid ship it intercepted on the way to Gaza.

She's been deported.  And taking shit for the method used.

Greta Thunberg shamelessly mocked as she’s deported from Israel after ‘selfie yacht’ seized: ‘Polluting the climate all the way back home’

Activist Greta Thunberg was relentlessly mocked as she was deported from Israel on Tuesday — after the Gaza-bound “selfie yacht” she and her posse of activists were on was seized by the Israeli military.

A photo released by Israel’s Foreign Ministry shows a straight-faced Thunberg buckled into a plane seat on a flight back to Sweden, her home country.

The 22-year-old’s critics were quick to poke fun at the climate activist for traveling by ship all the way to Israel just to be sent home on a gas-guzzling jet, which   she has spoken out against for years.

Did she honestly think that they would just let her pass?  

Israel saved her life and she's too self absorbed to even realize it.

This is the sort of nonsense we get from the NY Post. Embarrassing.

Meanwhile, scores more congratulated Israel’s handling of what could have been a dangerous escalation of the conflict, now in its second year.

“Well done Israel.   Stopped the activists   from entering a blockade, a conflict zone. Prevented the activists from being kidnapped by Islamic terrorists. Stopped WW3 & protected life,” one person  wrote .

“If the Islamic terrorists who control the area had kidnapped these activists it could have triggered WW3. Therefore the activists put us all at risk. Unforgivable,” they added.

As RDC indicated it will be in his next election, but PA is a battleground state. Ironically the dems dragged him over the finish line last time despite him being almost totally incapacitated due to a stroke. He has not only recovered, but has grown into one of the most rational, independent thinkers in the US Senate. I don't think it will be easy to take him down.

A senior Los Angeles official has revealed that his daughters were arrested during the  ongoing riots in the city  for allegedly assaulting a police officer with a deadly weapon.

Rick Cole, the chief deputy controller of LA, told a rally that his 26-year-old twin daughters, Lucia Aguilar and Antonia, were taken into custody Sunday night, according to  LA Mag .

“I’ve just seen pictures of my two daughters on a curb in downtown Los Angeles in handcuffs. So I’m going to be figuring out where they are so I can go bail them out,” Cole, a former mayor of Pasadena, told demonstrators outside a hotel in the city on Sunday, where there had reportedly been ICE raids early that day.

Agreed.

I know many of us have a general disgust at the way the Covid vaccines were handled, and the dictatorial fashion in which liberal politicians tried to overruled the obvious math.  

But things like the shingles vaccine, the measles vaccine, and a ton of other stuff that saves lots of people from a lot of misery need to be preserved and not interfered with.

Didn't the Democrats learn anything from their own handling of J6?  It was Democrats, themselves, who changed the relationship between the Federal government and rioters.  Applying Democrats own standards, the rioters in LA must be hunted down until every last one of them is brought to justice.  

What would the United States do with Samarium?  The United States can't even manufacture pennies.  We certainly can't manufacture anything tangible.  We only produce vapor-ware and fake money.  The entire capital enterprise of the United States has vested itself into Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, and Elon Musk selling their mother's testicles.
