This guy was a philosophy perfesser - "was" being the operative term. His philosophy apparently involved hitting people in the head with a bike padlock because he disagreed with them.
Eric Clanton, a former Diablo Valley College philosophy professor, has been arrested for his role in a violent melee that broke out during a Berkeley rally supporting President Donald Trump last month.
The Leftists are dangerously deranged.

MSNBC's Eddie Glaude debated with former Republican North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory over who should bear the blame for inspiring the recent mass shootings in the United States. Glaude argued Sunday on Meet the Press that terms such as "illegal immigrant" are divisive and fuel white nationalists to commit acts of violence.
Well, it's MSNBC, so you never get anything but blarney from them. Um...squeeze me, Eddie - I don't refer to them as "illegal immigrants"; I call them what they are: illegal aliens. And I've never shot up a place; never killed anybody.
Yep, it's always them Wascally Wepublicans (Trump) and/or the NRA.
The Dems need to get a new pony.

An online exchange on Friday between Donald Trump Jr. and the guy best known for his long-ago, failed marriage to Roseanne Barr clearly exposed a malevolent ill will on the part of Tom Arnold, even while Don Jr. revealed that his family has to deal with “daily death threats.” The third-rate actor is one of the Hollyweird personalities who regularly takes aim at the President and his family, but his latest follow-on tweet was a clear death threat in its own right and will most assuredly get him a personal interview with the Secret Service.
That guy's always been over-rated. Heck, even Roseanne got tired of his never-ending baloney.

Is still a Value-Added Tax, and that's what Oregon's governor from Minnesota signed into law. To make matters worse, we voted the same thing down three years ago, so now she's taking steps to ensure that we can't get a measure on the ballot to repeat our past success.
On May 17, Gov. Kate Brown signed into law House Bill 3427, imposing a gross receipts tax on most Oregon businesses.
The new tax, $250, plus 0.57 percent of taxable commercial activity over $1 million, will have a significant impact on low-margin businesses, such as general contractors. This tax is on the gross receipts of a business, regardless of profitability, less only an amount equal to 35 percent of “cost inputs” or “labor costs.” Also, the tax is imposed on each step of the construction process (i.e., manufacturer, subcontractor, general contractor), resulting in taxation on the same economic value multiple times.
That is known as a VAT; not a "sales tax" as Democratics claim. The U.K. has the same thing; another tax added to each step of a production process.
It's one reason why a hamburger in the U.K. costs roughly three times what you'd pay for the same thing in an American fast-food joint.
Democratics here recognize that if allowed to vote on the matter, citizens would once again take it down in flames. So the only thing to do is to prevent Oregonians from putting it to a vote. Because they Know Better than You.

Portland’s most recognizable left-wing group has spoken out against a Senate resolution introduced earlier this month that would label anti-fascists “domestic terrorists,” saying the proposal is an attempt to “criminalize dissent.” Rose City Antifa released a statement saying the Republican Party “is explicitly targeting political opposition. If passed, this resolution would be a powerful new weapon for silencing leftists and dissent in the U.S.”
The resolution referenced a June 29 attack against conservative writer Andy Ngo during a mostly peaceful gathering of competing protesters in downtown. Ngo has said he suffered a brain injury. Cruz and Cassidy cited the attack as proof of the dangers posed by “antifa.” The term is short for anti-fascist and generally serves as a blanket description for typically anonymous left-wing activists who say they support using disruptive and sometimes violent tactics to fight hate, homophobia and anti-Semitism.
Effie Baum, a spokesperson for Portland-based “everyday antifascist” coalition Popular Mobilization, said the group signed the statement to show solidarity with organizations that shared its goals of “raising the cost of participation for racists and homophobic and transphobic people.”
Hmm. Maybe they should quit wearing masks and assaulting people; that'd be a good start. In Portland, they've done a lot of damage with their metal pipes and bats - breaking store windows and even busting in car windows (the driver was a woman with two kids in the vehicle on one occasion, and all she was trying to do was get home).
It's hard to sell the story that you're "anti-fascists" when you behave like fascists.

When radical progressive Saul Alinsky penned Rules for Radicals, he had a variation of Antifa in mind. They weren’t to be the focus of his ideal leftist community organizing activism, but rather a tool to push the boundaries of civility so the less violent but equally radical “peaceful” counterparts in their movement would appear to be more pleasant and reasonable.
Independent journalist Andy Ngo, who was violently attacked by Antifa in Portland a month ago, has found the latest plans of an organization that pretends like they’re not really that organized. They, in fact, are, and they’re using this to their advantage in their plans to descend on El Paso, Texas.
Local and national organizers are working together to build 10 days of trainings and direct actions for the Border Resistance Convergence in El Paso, TX – September 1-10th. We are calling on affinity groups everywhere to come together and help us address US-funded genocide and local concentration camps.
They're working to purchase an assortment of guns from Mexican cartels in hopes of turning their El Paso events into armed rebellion. What they fail to recognize is that El Paso isn't Portland. Down there, folks have guns and bullets - and considerably more than "10 days of trainings". the residents know all about gun control - as in, hitting the target. Things could get really interesting for those "antifa" types.

Sen. Bernie Sanders' (I-Vt.) 2020 presidential campaign has been hit with an unfair labor practice complaint alleging illegal employee interrogation and retaliation against staffers. The complaint lists five violations of the National Labor Relations Act.
These may or may not prove out, but the complaint triggers an automatic investigation.

The Commie says $15 an hour should be minimum wage. Let's see how that works in the real world:
Researchers, for instance, discovered that in Seattle, the first city to raise its wage floor to $15 an hour, the average income for minimum wage workers has fallen, as jobs and hours have been cut. Sanders might not care about what happens to businesses, but the impact of Restaurants Unlimited, Inc., a Seattle-based company, filing for bankruptcy because “the cost of doing business has gone up,” will negatively affect workers.
But then, Bernie's never actually had a job, and has no business experience.

Portland is not a mecca for peace loving hippies; it is a mecca for intolerance and violence. It's a city where mob rule reigns supreme. The City of Roses doesn't smell so sweet. How did Portland, roughly the size of Kansas City, become ground zero for Mad Max–type warfare, a place where woke vigilantes appear to run the show?
How did Portland, roughly the size of Kansas City, become ground zero for Mad Max–type warfare, a place where woke vigilantes appear to run the show? Although the thugs who attacked the Quillette editor and photojournalist did not quite manage to crack his skull, they did manage to induce a brain hemorrhage that resulted in hospitalization. The irony here is that just before the group attacked Ngo, its members chanted, “No hate! No fear!” Obviously, Antifa group members struggle with the concept of irony.
However, they don't struggle with the concept of violence.
Uncivilized in nature. Is there a better description to sum up recent events in Portland?
Ted Wheeler, the mayor of Portland, is the overseer of the uncivilized. A fierce Trump critic, Wheeler appears to be an Antifa sympathizer.
This is not the first time Wheeler has appeared to side with thugs. In 2018, he came under fire over a viral video showing Antifa protesters blocking traffic and harassing drivers. Wheeler ordered police to watch from a distance without getting involved.
The video, which was posted by Ngo, showed protesters, including members of Antifa and Black Lives Matter, blocking an intersection and attempting to direct traffic at while officers on motorcycle watched from a block away.
This is a man who, by refusing to take action, is enabling extreme anonymity and zero accountability. Portland is a city in disarray, and Ted Wheeler is largely to blame.
Yet the dummy plans to run for orifice once again. I wouldn't support his campaign for the job of dog-catcher.
He collects a big paycheck for running the city into the ground. We don't need any more of that.

A radical far-left activist who writes for the radical far-left blog ThinkProgress admitted in a personal newsletter Friday that he recently cut loose a friend over his Trump Derangement Syndrome. Granted, that’s not how he told the sad but typical story.
According to his version of events, he’s the "emotionally hurt victim" who was purposefully hurt by his former Trump friend. Never mind that it was he who started it.
When she claimed I was trying to police her beliefs, I corrected her, pointing out that my conditions only regarded the hat, not her position on any particular issue. When she claimed that she’s equally offended by the Pride flag, I corrected her again, explaining that objecting to a symbol of inclusion is in no way comparable to objecting to a symbol of exclusion and that she was making a false equivalency.”
So he "corrected" her. What a horse's patoot. If anyone needs "correcting", it's him.
