The 50501 Movement—or 50 states, 50 protests, one day—is garnering support throughout social media over its plan to stage demonstrations across the nation to "fight Fascism" on February 5.

Focus will be split when the Democratic National Convention arrives in Chicago. Inside the United Center, attendees and TV viewers will be glued to the Harris-Walz ticket. But when cameras pan outside, eyes will shift to protesters. Protest groups have been gearing up for months to take advantage of the attention coming to Chicago. They have planned at least seven large demonstrations, with more rallies unsanctioned by the city likely to come. ...

Pro-Palestinian protests will take place nearly every day of the Democratic National Convention (DNC) next week, while demonstrators will descend on the city for other causes as well. As the Democratic Party remains deeply fractured due to the Biden-Harris administration’s handling of the Israel-Hamas war, Pro-Palestinian protests are set for Sunday, the eve of the convention, Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday, the final day of the convention. On Thursday, Harris will accept the nomination at the convention. Below is a list of scheduled demonstrations that will protest against the Democratic Party over the Israel-Hamas war and other causes. The Chicago Sun-Times...

Yesterday my gut instinct screamed at me not to get involved in those supposed 100 far right protests last night - so I felt I had to warn people. I'm glad I did. But there are serious questions to be answered! Transcript linked below video.

Demonstration outside Parliament, especially against genocide against Hindus going on in Bangladesh. Link to transcript below video.

George Soros has funneled over $15 million in the last seven years to the pro-Hamas groups behind the terror-sympathizing protests following the October 7 attack on Israel, a report revealed. The far-left billionaire’s grantmaking network, the Open Society Foundation, distributed $13.7 million through Tides Center, a “deep-pocketed lefty advocacy group that sponsors several nonprofits who’ve justified Hamas’ bloody attacks,” a New York Post review of the foundation’s records revealed......

Getting around downtown Chicago is a challenge at the best of times. Weekdays feature a constant flow of carefully and swiftly moving traffic; weekends all the more so. But it is a city of 2.5 million people, in a tri-state metro area of 9 million. Back in the days when Chicago was known as “The City that Works” – a generation ago, at least – the city fathers took great care to minimize any event that threatened to jeopardize that title. We had parades occasionally; we had demonstrations all the time. The Constitution guarantees American citizens’ right to such things....

Demonstrations were held Saturday evening against the government's judicial reform legislation despite the legislation freeze that was announced on Monday. According to the protest organizers, demonstrations took place in 150 locations across the country, with the central one being in central Tel Aviv as in past weeks. Prior to the demonstration in Tel Aviv, protesters marched down Rothschild Boulevard to Kaplan Street, where Natan Netanyahu, the Prime Minister's cousin, whose mother served as a Supreme Court justice, spoke. In Jerusalem, the author David Grossman and Ori Banki, the father of Shira Banki, who was murdered at the city's LGBT...

The Tel Aviv municipality has refused to authorize a right-wing counter-protest this Saturday night in addition to the left-wing anti-government protests which have been held for the last few weeks in the city, the JDN Hebrew news site reported. The right-wing protestors are hoping to demonstrate in support of Justice Minister Yariv Levin's proposed judicial reforms and Shas chairman Aryeh Deri, who was disqualified from serving as a minister One activist said: "They are trying to shut us up, only the leftists are allowed to demonstrate. Isn't our voice equal?" The activists are currently seeking to be allowed to demonstrate...

It seems very probable the R's will win the House. It's also looking very promising that the R's will gain a majority in the Senate. That being the case of a Republican congressional majority, what are your views will happen in the near days after the Nov 8 mid terms? Civility and acceptance of the election results? Riots in the cities? Call for recounts in key states? Me? I'm saying the liberals will be very uncivil.

An extraordinarily high percentage of the signs wielded by pro-abortion demonstrators are mind-bogglingly dumb and/or nonsensical. One of these inane sentiments (see below) has prompted me to write this post. That sign/sentiment? ”Guns have more rights than my vagina.” Really? Let’s examine the facts. First of all, it must be noted, the vast majority of gun owners don’t stick a penis in their gun’s barrel and climax in it. They do have to subject themselves to a thorough background check by the feds, answer more than a dozen probing questions, fill out a 2-page form, and hand over several hundred...

Berlin (AFP) – From shop fronts spattered with paint to insults thrown in the street, attacks on the Russian community in Germany have spiked since the start of the war in Ukraine. As a result, some Russians have staged demonstrations "against Russophobia" in the form of vehicle convoys across the country, which has the largest Russian diaspora in the European Union. But the demos have sparked a backlash, with many interpreting them as a show of support for Russia's military aggression in Ukraine. Since Russia invaded Ukraine in February, 383 anti-Russian and 181 anti-Ukrainian crimes have been officially reported to...

AP News calls them "far-right," but tens of thousands of freedom-loving people marched against new tyrannical public health measures, such as partial and full lockdowns and health passports and mandatory vaccinations, across Europe. Demonstrations against new virus restrictions were observed in Austria, Croatia, Italy, Northern Ireland, the UK, France, Germany, and the Netherlands. Outside of Europe, protesters were seen in several cities across Canada, Australia, Japan, and even the US. Some marked Saturday as part of a "Worldwide Freedom" rally to protest COVID-19 restrictions and vaccine mandates.Some of the most intense rallies, which turned into riots, were in the port...

Well, that was fast.Seems the Biden administration canard that COVID mismanagement from Cuban authorities is behind the massive protests engulfing all of Cuba didn't go over very well.Everyone saw pictures of thousands of starving-thin Cubans clad in rags crying "libertad!" and waving the American flag — a flag they had been taught from birth was evil incarnate. What we saw was effectively a slave revolt, given that these people have absolutely no freedoms, and the uprising was leaderless and spontaneous. It could easily devolve into Ceaușescu stuff, given that nothing will change communists otherwise.So Joe Biden, or whoever writes his...

Defying death, terror and beatings, millions of Cubans took to the streets across Cuba shouting "Freedom" and "We are not afraid" in a collective call to end to the 62-year communist dictatorship. It was breathtaking, a thing of beauty, comparable only to Tiananmen or the fall of the Berlin wall. It took unprecedented courage, too -- against state goons, secret police, government death squads, and paid thugs -- who are responding now like cornered rats, recognizing very well their survival is at stake. It's too soon to tell if the Cubans have won, a big general strike has been called...

As we previously reported there are thousands out in the streets across Cuba, from small towns to big cities, calling for freedom from the Communist government and chanting “we are not afraid!”People are saying it’s the largest mass protest since 1959. If you know your Cuban history, that’s the last time the government changed hands — when Fidel Castro took power. So, that’s an incredibly significant thing to say.I have been covering Cuba since the 1994 rafter crisis. I have never ever seen anything like the protests today.https://t.co/h8Ukuvpfp3— Frances Robles (@FrancesRobles) July 11, 2021From NY Times: Carolina Barrero, a Cuban...

“Libertà, Libertà,” chanted protesters calling for an immediate end to Rome’s strict Covid-19 lockdown measures. In recent weeks, large scale anti-lockdown demonstrations have mounted in Austria, Great Britain, Finland, Romania, Switzerland, Poland, France, Bulgaria, Serbia, the Netherlands, and Romania, VOA News reported on April 9. “We can no longer go on like this,” 51-year-old pizzeria owner Ermes Ferrari told reporters. “I just want to work.” “I had to spend €10,000 to adapt the pizzeria so that it was in accord with virus safety precautions, then the government made us close down. It’s shameful. I have no more money left. My...

The Deep State Thinks Trump Supporters Are the New Al-Qaeda Healthy democracies don’t label the opposition "terrorists" and eliminate basic civil liberties. The Washington Examiner, an ostensibly “conservative” publication, published an article this week demanding we treat right-wing “extremists” like al-Qaeda. In the article, former Homeland Security official Kevin Carroll argued we must do five things to protect our nation from this menace. The first is to “bring the heaviest felony charges possible on as many participants in the [Capitol] insurrection.” “We ruthlessly hunted down foreign terrorists after the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks and must do the same to their...

Vetting national guardsmen to make sure none of them like Trump or some damned thing. Lots of demonstrations, mostly peaceful, of BLM and MAGA-nicks. No evidence yet of plans to kidnap federal officials. We're coming for you, MoFo. And so on and so forth and doobie doobie doobie. Members of Congress gave tours to demonstrators. Nanshy's gonna getcha. Etc.

We are in rural Oregon and it is damn well is not Portland where mob violence is not only tolerated but encouraged by the local officials. In south central Oregon there will be sadness for a few but they are too few to mob up and do any real damage. The vast majority of locals support President Trump and would instantly set a mob straight if they get violent and destructive. Around here, Burning, Looting, and Murder are not culturally accepted activities. The one and only time ANTIFA showed up here they were disarmed, put back on their buss, and...
