Police in Portland, Oregon have been going through hell over the past few months, as they have been forced to deal with constant violent riots. They are chronically being attacked by violent radical leftists while the media turns a blind eye to what is happening, so it should come as no surprise that one Portland cop finally had enough on Sunday.
A video is going viral from early Sunday morning, in which a freelance journalist captured a female protester being arrested on camera. The journalist, who was also a woman, became suspicious when she saw that only male officers were present at the arrest.
“Do you have a female officer present while you’re patting her down?” she asked them.
“No, we don’t,” an officer replied.
It was then that another male cop jumped in with what might just be the best comeback of all time.
“How do you know that I don’t identify as a female?” he asked.
This caused all of the officers on the scene to burst out laughing hysterically. This did not sit well with the protesters, however, who immediately became “triggered” by the joke.
“F***in’ smart ass,” one person said, with another adding, “We hate you!”
Male PPB officers detaining a female protestor and patting her down w/ no female officers present. I asked if they had a female officer to do patdown, one responded by “nope” the other said, “how do you know I don’t identify as a female?” Other officers laugh. #PortlandProtests pic.twitter.com/bSabNSHXSf — Shauna Sowersby (@Shauna_Sowersby) August 9, 2020

Black Lives Matter Mob Opens Fire On Black Cop – Physically Assaults Him At Girlfriend’s Home After They Vandalize It

Black Lives Matter protesters opened fire on a black police officer , shouting “ black lives matter ” as they shot at him and punched him at his girlfriend ’ s Wisconsin home on Saturday night .
Wauwatosa Officer Joseph Mensah took to Facebook to say that protesters “ tried to kill me .
I was unarmed and tried to defend my property and the property of my girlfriend .
We were both assaulted , punched , and ultimately shot at several times .
A shotgun round missed me by inches.

“ I am all for peaceful protests , even against me , but this was anything but peaceful .
They threw toilet paper in her trees , broke her windows , and again , shot at both of us as they were trying to kill me.
” “ There are children that live there and they knew that , ” Mensah explained .
“ The irony in all of this is that they chanted ‘ Black Lives Matter ’ the entire time , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the black children that live there or me , a black man.
” Black Lives Matter targeted Mensah because he has fatally shot three people in the line of duty over the past five years , most recently a 17-year-old earlier this year .
The first two shootings , which occurred in 2015 and 2016 respectively , were ruled to be justified .
However , Mensah was suspended last month for the death of Alvin Cole back in February , and the Milwaukee County District Attorney ’ s Office is still reviewing the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 50 to 60 people gathered at the home on Saturday night to protest against Mensah .
They added that rioters started to vandalize the home around 8 p.m. and that while Mensah “ attempted to establish a dialogue , ” he “ was ultimately physically assaulted.

“There are children that live there and they knew that,” Mensah explained. “The irony in all of this is that they chanted ‘Black Lives Matter’ the entire time, but had zero regard for any of the black children that live there or me, a black man.”

In a separate interview, Mensah told WITI that he believes he was suspended to appease the protesters.

Ted Nugent: Trump Is Protecting The Great American Way Of Life By Endorsing the Great American Outdoors Act

This amazing country was built by God-fearing good guys with guns .
The men who fought for our liberty and built our nation from sea to shining sea were driven by a spirit of hard-nosed independence .
They lived off the land , with which they had an intimate relationship , and they accomplished their great deeds with a Bible in one hand and a rifle in the other .
“ Our nation ’ s untamed spirit of adventure , exploration , and discovery is kindled in the great outdoors .
It ’ s the same spirit that calls settlers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the unknown and to carve out a new life on the wild frontier , ” he said during the recent signing of the Great American Outdoors Act .
America ’ s outdoorsmen are the heirs to that tradition , and for a vast majority of them , federally protected land is some of the only land available for hunting , fishing , hiking , and other outdoor pursuits .
Protecting these lands is crucial to ensuring that the outdoor lifestyle can be enjoyed by generations to come .
The great Spirit of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ thanks to our great president , who own the land can now maximize the healing powers of nature on maximum sacred grounds .
With the signing of the Great American Outdoors Act , President Trump took a major step to secure our great American way of life — a way of life that is under constant assault , as evidenced by New York Attorney General Letitia James ’ effort to obliterate the NRA with a lawsuit .
The Act , which is supported by more than 850 conservation groups and 43 sporting groups @ @ @ @ @ @ @ conservation achieved by any president since Teddy Roosevelt , providing $ 900 million a year in guaranteed funding for the Land and Water Conservation Fund .
This historic legislation , which comes only a year after President Trump designated 1.3 million acres of public land as new wilderness , also provides for nearly $ 10 billion in additional funding to restore and maintain facilities and infrastructure in the nation ’ s national parks and on public lands .

President Donald Trump understands this.
“Our nation’s untamed spirit of adventure, exploration, and discovery is kindled in the great outdoors.

Barr understands their Nazi S.A. tactics and their Bolshevik ideology. He also comprehends the way they operate, saying:
“The way the guerrilla…hides out among the people as a fish in the ocean…what they do is they are essentially shielding themselves or shrouding themselves in First Amendment activity. They go into the demonstrations, which are exercising First Amendment activity, and they insinuate themselves in there to shield themselves. That’s where they swim.

Bingo. Exactly. Perfect. He went on to explain, “The Left has pulled away from the umbrella of classical liberal values that have undergirded America” and are making a “secular religion” out of pursuing “complete political victory.”
He said since 2016 when the president was elected, “and from that point forward, there’s been the resistance. They were trying to impeach him from Day One.

The very riots, urban decay, and urban unrest Barr speaks of (that is championed by Antifa) are driving even the most liberal effete New Yorkers out of their Upper West Side enclaves. It is sweet irony.
Elizabeth Carr, one of the Upper West Side’s leading citizens, is packing up and leaving New York City. “In the best of times, NYC is a hard place to live. Now you have all this other stuff. It’s a question for families…to have to see a guy masturbating on the corner or explain to my kids while I’m buying diapers at Duane Reade why this guy wearing no shoes is collapsed on the floor and they’re doing CPR on him,” she told the New York Post. The riots have only made it worse and less safe.
“We reached our New York expiration date,” said Carr. “Things weren’t heading in the right direction. What we’re seeing now isn’t at all surprising… It’s this slow slide. How can families stay here? Does the city want families to stay?”
“There was no reason to leave before,” said another born-and-bred Upper West Side mom, who asked for anonymity. “Now, I’m done. I can leave tomorrow and never look back. If I never came back to this block, that would be fine.”
That’s what Marxist Mayor Bill de Blasio and the Bolsheviks in the streets have done to a once proud and safe city. If the Democrats win in November, it could be coming to your town too.

thepoliticalinsider--2020-08-10--Trump Once Again Outmaneuvers Pelosi And Schumer

President Donald Trump has once again outmaneuvered Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer , as they want to strike a deal to keep coronavirus payments going .
Democrats have been blocking the implementation of the fourth coronavirus stimulus package in recent weeks , demanding more and more unreasonable things from the Republicans .
Senator Schumer had called these proposals simply “ political stunts , ” ensuring payments would not get to the Americans that needed it .
White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany said last week that this “ should tell you exactly where Democrats stand – against hard-working Americans who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ their own.
” “ Rather than coming towards us with a clean extension of unemployment insurance , they are moving beyond what their initial request was of $ 3 trillion , then they moved to $ 3.4 trillion .
They wanted $ 100 billion for schools , and we offered $ 105 billion , to which they rejected , ” McEnany continued .
However , it looks like the Democrats , including Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer , have bowed down to the wishes of the Trump administration and the Republicans .
President @ @ @ @ @ @ @ over the weekend to provide coronavirus relief regardless of what the Democrats were doing , and it seems this has got the Democrats to back down !
“ So now Schumer and Pelosi want to meet to make a deal , ” the President tweeteed on Monday .
“ Amazing how it all works , isn ’ t it .
Where have they been for the last 4 weeks when they were ‘ hardliners , ’ and only wanted BAILOUT MONEY for Democrat run states and cities that are failing badly ?
They @ @ @ @ @ @ @ just shows the difference between President Trump and former Republican presidents .
When faced with the actions of the left and their ridiculous demands , he stands firm , instead of kow-towing to them !
This strong leadership is exactly what we need , especially during this pandemic .
When Democrats play with the lives of Americans , this president is here to stop them !

Democrats Have Been Blocking Coronavirus Relief
Democrats have been blocking the implementation of the fourth coronavirus stimulus package in recent weeks, demanding more and more unreasonable things from the Republicans. Senator Schumer had called these proposals simply “political stunts,” ensuring payments would not get to the Americans that needed it.
White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany said last week that this “should tell you exactly where Democrats stand – against hard-working Americans who lost their job through no fault of their own.”
“Rather than coming towards us with a clean extension of unemployment insurance, they are moving beyond what their initial request was of $3 trillion, then they moved to $3.4 trillion. They wanted $100 billion for schools, and we offered $105 billion, to which they rejected,” McEnany continued.

“So now Schumer and Pelosi want to meet to make a deal,” the President tweeteed on Monday. “Amazing how it all works, isn’t it. Where have they been for the last 4 weeks when they were ‘hardliners,’ and only wanted BAILOUT MONEY for Democrat run states and cities that are failing badly? They know my phone number!”

Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 10, 2020
This just shows the difference between President Trump and former Republican presidents. When faced with the actions of the left and their ridiculous demands, he stands firm, instead of kow-towing to them! This strong leadership is exactly what we need, especially during this pandemic. When Democrats play with the lives of Americans, this president is here to stop them!

thepoliticalinsider--2020-08-10--Gun Sales Hit Record High As Democrats Try To Eliminate Cops And Second Amendment

It ’ s not surprising when the Left attacks Americans ’ Second Amendment rights or goes after the NRA .
We ’ ve come to expect it .
But it is strange when their anti-gun strategy gets them the exact opposite of what they say they want : fewer guns .
They ’ ve created a situation where Americans don ’ t necessarily but feel they guns .
So , we have the Left , BLM , Antifa , and others working feverishly to defund or abolish the police .
But what has the Left admonished people to do if @ @ @ @ @ @ @ don ’ t need a gun ; call the police .
With cities defunding or abolishing the police as in New York City , Minneapolis , Seattle , and other cities , what is the argument now ?
What does the anti-gun Left tell people who ask , “ How do I protect myself and my family if there ’ s a criminal pounding on my door , about to storm in ?
” With no “ call the police ” as an answer , the Left will now have to completely ignore @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the answer , even cops tell people , in most cases , the police won ’ t arrive in time except to investigate your robbery or murder .
So , with the defunding or abolishing of police being threatened or initiated , people are answering the question themselves : they ’ re buying guns .
In fact , it appears they ’ re buying guns by the bucket load .
And another ancillary element is the number of first-time gun buyers gun sellers say are among their customers .
FBI statistics on NICS @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ ll just pluck out a few states to compare with last year to give you an idea .
The FBI reported after the Chinese Communist Party ( CCP ) virus struck in March , “ an all-time sales high was recorded… ” The FBI conducted some 3.7 million background checks in one month .
But Americans preparing to live in a country without guns or police protection weren ’ t done .
In June , the FBI conducted 3.9 million , for another record .
And July recorded another 3.6 million .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ purchases in only three months .
So , you ’ ve probably noticed that we have not yet made it through 2020—though , I ’ m sure most of us would love for this horror of a year to be over .
Yes , the numbers listed for background checks in 2020 are only for the first six months of this year , January through July .
These states , and many others , are already near the numbers for all of last year .
These gun buyers are not paranoid , as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , but they are afraid—and they have every right to be .
The Left wants not only to take their gun rights away but also their police .
These folks , many of them traditional Democrats , liberals , and some apolitical are watching on their nightly news reports of riots allowed by Democrat mayors and city councils to occur nightly .
And the violence is no longer limited to the cities .
Recently , a group of 200 or so BLM and Antifa members traveled over 30 miles to the rural home @ @ @ @ @ @ @ If it weren ’ t for her protective , and well-armed , neighbors , who knows what might have happened .
With the Left always blaming guns rather than criminals for violent crimes like robbery and murder , it makes one wonder if an inanimate object , such as a firearm , has agency and can function without a human finger pulling the trigger .
In Chicago , the truly detestable Mayor Lori Lightfoot , rather than blaming her and other Democrat mayors ’ inept running of the city , blames “ illegal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ guns from Indiana or other surrounding states “ with more lenient gun laws.
” Well , Chicago has stricter gun laws than any state or city surrounding it .
Yet , they have more shootings and murders than all those other states and cities combined .
Why ?
Can ’ t the guns find plenty of people to shoot in Indianapolis , Milwaukee , or Minneapolis ?
Guns can only shoot people once they arrive in Chicago .
T hat is an absurd argument , but absurd is all they have .
Logic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ leaders ’ resistance to dealing with violent crime in black neighborhoods is unconscionable .
But they continue to get away with it because the Democratic leadership allows it and the mainstream news media facilitates it by ignoring it .
Every few days we hear about yet another child , toddler , or infant shot while sleeping in their cribs or sitting in their strollers .
Can you imagine the mother who looks down to see her eight-month-old treasure has been shot in the abdomen ?
Or think about the proud father who has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his two-year-old daughter ’ s forehead ?
This is happening , folks !
I ’ m not writing this to be gratuitous or unduly inflammatory .
It ’ s how I felt seeing those stories , as a grandfather of a two-year-old .
It wasn ’ t hard for me to empathize with those parents and grandparents in Chicago , and , increasingly , in New York City , and in other cities with rising violent crime .
I felt it viscerally , imagining how I ’ d feel if something like that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , if you wonder why people are buying guns at such record rates , either you ’ re not paying attention , or you ’ re a leftist who is paying attention , but you just don ’ t care about people ’ s safety—or their God-given rights .

Dailyda , who is a doctoral student at Stockton University , is being accused by school administrators of violating portions of the student code of conduct because his classmates were “ offended ” by the image , according to the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education .
After Dailyda used the photo of Trump for a July 1 class , he was criticized by his classmates on a private chat @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Dailyda wrote on Facebook : I have gotten to the point that I have to say something .
I love this country .
We are a diverse , yet assimilated population from all backgrounds .
I believe all must have the same opportunities and I commit to make that a priority .
Beyond that , I am done with the leftist agenda of BLM and the white self haters .

I ’ m not backing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ get past this , ok , I ’ m ready to fight to the death for our country and against those that want to take it down .

I have seen it in action in my doctoral classes at Stockton and the general media. I’m not backing down. If we can’t get past this, ok, I’m ready to fight to the death for our country and against those that want to take it down. I believe there are also many like me.
Dailyda was contacted by campus police two days later after they received a report that he had made “threatening statements.” It should be noted that another person commented on Dailyda’s Facebook post, “…we aim with precision. Boom done. No drama.”
Police decided not to pursue charges against Dailyda after interviewing him, but one week later, he was summoned to meet with Stockton’s Care and Community Standards Office.
“They asked him to explain his political views, Zoom background, and Facebook post,” FIRE alleged. “Dailyda explained that [he] was disappointed with Stockton’s institutional endorsement of the Black Lives Matter movement, aspects of which he does not support.”
After the meeting, school officials charged Dailyda with violating nearly a half-dozen provisions of the Campus Code of Conduct, including:
Disruptive behavior
Discrimination
Harassment
Hostile environment
Harm
The disciplinary actions against Dailyda that the school is now considering include suspending him, imposing a fine, assigning community service, or mandating he attend a “social justice workshop” and a “decision making workshop.” FIRE is firing back by saying Stockton is violating Dailyda’s First Amendment rights by seeking to punish him.
“The expression here is clearly protected,” FIRE wrote in a letter to the school. “Stockton may not permissibly use it disciplinary process to punish Dailyda for his protected political expression.”
Stockton has confirmed that an investigation into Dailyda has been launched, but has not commented further, citing privacy laws.

Next Tuesday August 11th voters will go to the primary polls in Minnesota ’ s 5th Congressional District and choose a Democrat to represent them in Congress .
Yes , it ’ s only a primary .
But as in so many deep red or blue seats , whoever wins the primary wins the general with ease .
And although her opponent is better funded and is giving her a good challenge , sadly Ilhan Omar will probably win her Minnesota 5th primary .
“ She has been ineffective in Washington because she is divisive , and she ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ challenger Antone Melton-Meaux told the press .
Omar responded , “ I show up not only in the district , but in Congress to fight for us , for our progressive values , and that is the consistency in which I do my work.
” As per claims she funnels cash to her husband ?
She weakly claimed : “ I don ’ t pay my husband .
I pay the firm to do work and that [ $ 600,000 ] really is an example of that work .
It was the first @ @ @ @ @ @ @ which is surprising to me because that ’ s not something we ’ re used to in the 5th , and that money went to place that ad and to make sure we have digital ads , to make sure we have literature that ’ s being sent to our constituents , because it is get-out-the-vote efforts for us.
” The local paper doesn ’ t buy her line and endorsed her opponent : “ Whether it ’ s health care , criminal justice or affordable housing , Melton-Meaux appears progressive , but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Minneapolis Star-Tribune said .
“ While Omar wants to lead a movement , Melton-Meaux seeks to serve the Fifth District…It is just these kinds of ethical distractions ( husband payoff ) that the Fifth District could do without , ” the board added .
“ In the Editorial Board interview , Omar took little responsibility for her rocky start , instead largely blaming her critics and saying her failing was perhaps in not realizing what a ‘ special unicorn ’ she would be in Congress.
” AOC could not help but chime @ @ @ @ @ @ @ re the ones that are attracting multimillion-dollar primary challengers in an unprecedented way , that just tells you how effective Ilhan is…That tells you how damn effective she is against big real estate , against our military-industrial complex , against our Wall Street complex , against basically every corrupt institution that we have right now in this country .
