Open Season on Republicans

It would seem that the violent left has been given leave to inflict as much pain as possible on Republicans with no reckoning.

Antifa Member Gets 3-year Probation Deal Despite Beating At Least Seven With Bike Lock

[The former East Bay community college teacher] was charged with four counts of felony assault with a deadly weapon, causing great bodily injury, has taken a deal resulting in three years of probation for an attack at a Berkeley protest last year, court records reveal.
Wednesday, Clanton was supposed to have had his preliminary hearing, where a judge decides whether there’s enough evidence in a case for it to move ahead to trial. Instead, there was no hearing, and information about Clanton’s plea deal became available online.

Don’t Be Surprised

Michael Barone once said that to defeat a Democrat, you have to win outside the margin for cheating. The last special election before November was held Tuesday for the seat from the 12th district of Ohio. Republican Troy Balderson, with a boost from the president, defeated Democrat Danny O’Connor by some 1,700 votes. Balderson claimed victory. BUT WAIT!
Ta-dahh, a box of more than 500 previously uncounted ballots were discovered and O’Connor gained 190 votes. According to the Cincinnati Enquirer, 3,435 provisional ballots and 5,048 absentee ballots will be counted by the August 24 deadline.
Don’t be surprised if the Democrat pulls out a “miracle” comeback. Outside of Florida 2000, the Democrats have never lost a recount election. They count until they get ahead, then they quit counting.

She Guevara

Ben Shapiro offered to donate $10,000 to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s campaign if she would debate him. That’s all she had to do to raise a substantial amount of money, and if she’s truly as confident as she claims to be in her ideas and political beliefs then surely this would be a super easy offer to accept. Unless of course, she knows she’s full of it and running out of bumper sticker catch phrases. So how did she decline without losing face with her base? SHE PLAYED THE GENDER CARD, of course.

BEN SHAPIRO: “Discussion and debate are not “bad intentions.” Slandering someone as a sexist catcaller without reason or evidence does demonstrate cowardice and bad intent, however. But sure, go with “the Orthodox Jew who has never catcalled a woman in his life is ACKSHUALLY a sexist catcaller for asking for a discussion or debate.” I’m sure your media sycophants will eat it up.”
