The overdose of George Floyd was a catalyst for billions of dollars in property damage, thousands of fatalities caused by riots and defunded police departments, an onslaught of systemic discrimination against white people at every level of society, and the decline of major American cultural institutions.
A career violent felon with a 90% blockage in his coronary artery — who on the day of his death consumed enough fentanyl to kill an obese horse, tried to defraud a store, then resisted arrest — instantly became a martyr of the modern Left. 
It didn&#8217;t matter that Floyd had no physical injuries to his neck whatsoever, or that the chief medical examiner testified that Derek Chauvin&#8217;s knee never cut off Floyd&#8217;s airway. It didn&#8217;t matter that Floyd repeatedly said he couldn&#8217;t breathe, long before he was on the ground. It didn&#8217;t matter that Floyd was alive when he arrived at the hospital. 
None of these facts were relevant because 2020 was a very important election year. It was time for race riots, which would serve the dual purpose of weakening Donald Trump while also ushering in a new, years-long wave of anti-white hysteria and vengefulness. 
This vengefulness has led, predictably, to the murder of white people in the streets, for no other reason than the fact that they&#8217;re white. And while these racially motivated murders have been ongoing for some time — we talked about the execution of a white handyman in Louisiana named Lawrence Herr more than three years ago — the killings have now reached a new level of depravity. 
It&#8217;s not enough for white people to get murdered anymore. Instead, whites are getting slaughtered with the direct assistance of the government and the legal system that&#8217;s supposed to protect them. This is an escalation that has been brewing for a long time, and now it&#8217;s impossible to deny.

Here are the facts of one of the most egregious recent cases — one which, as of June 1, has received zero coverage — none whatsoever — from the AP, New York Times, NPR, Reuters, MS NOW, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, or PBS. 
Henry Nowak was an 18-year-old white man living in Southampton, England. He was attending college — the first member of his family to do so. On December 3rd of last year, as Nowak was walking home alone, he walked past a foreigner named Vickrum Digwa — a man whose family was allowed into England as part of the country&#8217;s open-borders agenda. Nowak began recording Digwa with his cellphone and asked in a light-hearted tone whether he was a &#8220;bad man&#8221; — an apparent reference to the fact that Digwa was visibly in possession of a large dagger in a sheath attached to his belt, over the outside of his clothing. 
For context, in England, citizens aren&#8217;t allowed to carry a knife of any kind — even a bread knife — because it&#8217;s too dangerous. But if you identify as &#8220;Sikh,&#8221; then you&#8217;re allowed to carry any knife you want — even a sword. I&#8217;m not making that up — Section 139 of the Criminal Justice Act of 1988 states, &#8220;it shall be a defence for a person charged with having an article with blade or point in public place to prove that they had the article with them for religious reasons.&#8221;
As someone who can&#8217;t even carry a bread knife outdoors without a permit, Nowak was probably surprised to see the large knife on Digwa&#8217;s belt. After all, even for Sikhs, it was an unusually large blade to display. In response to Nowak&#8217;s question, though, Digwa began moving towards him and stated that he was indeed a &#8220;bad man.&#8221; 
He was furious about being filmed, and he apparently believed his faith was being disrespected. So he grabbed Nowak&#8217;s phone. What happened next isn&#8217;t entirely clear, because there were no witnesses, and the phone was knocked away. But authorities concluded that a physical altercation broke out, in which Digwa&#8217;s turban may have been touched. Within seconds, Digwa pulled his dagger from its sheath and stabbed Nowak in the chest. It was a deep cut, roughly 8 centimeters beyond the skin, and hit a critical vein behind Nowak&#8217;s collarbone. Though that wound was fatal by itself, Digwa didn&#8217;t stop there. He proceeded to stab the 18-year-old twice in the upper leg, once in the groin area, and once in the face. The fact that Nowak had no defensive wounds on his hands indicated that Digwa&#8217;s first strike had incapacitated him.
Digwa, by contrast, had no injuries whatsoever. He filmed Nowak as he fled, mortally wounded, over a fence into a nearby yard. Digwa shot close-ups of Nowak&#8217;s face as he was drowning in his own blood — videos that still haven&#8217;t been released by the authorities. 
Instead of rendering aid, Digwa began mocking his victim. He told onlookers that he hadn&#8217;t stabbed Nowak at all, and that Nowak had called him racial slurs. Digwa&#8217;s brother, Gurpreet, called the authorities and informed them that they had been &#8220;attacked, racially.&#8221;

That last part about Digwa’s mother needs to be emphasized. As is so often the case with third-world migrants, she prioritized ethnic tribal loyalty over any basic standard of morality or human decency. She didn&#8217;t care that her son just committed a heinous murder. She immediately took the evidence and buried it. This is a woman who was welcomed into England by white people who were told she&#8217;d contribute to their culture and their economy. They allowed her to live a much better life than she could have in the third world. Millions of Britons tell themselves that it&#8217;s important to care about women like her.
And by the way, notice how Digwa&#8217;s brother talks about the alleged racial attack. It&#8217;s incredibly vague. He&#8217;s doing what migrants have learned to do, which is to say the magic word, &#8220;racism,” so they then get whatever they want. If they cry &#8220;racism,&#8221; they&#8217;ll get asylum. They&#8217;ll get funding for their fake autism treatment center. And in some cases, they&#8217;ll even get away with murder. 
They know how to exploit the kindness of Western countries and the stupidity of Western liberals. They do it constantly. They recognize that, for most white people in the West, being racist is the worst possible sin. It&#8217;s an unthinkable atrocity. And until that changes — until we take racism off this pedestal — this tactic will continue to be effective.
In this case, once police arrived, Digwa didn&#8217;t tell them that he was in possession of Nowak&#8217;s phone — which included footage of the first few seconds of the attack. Instead, Digwa repeatedly claimed that Nowak had assaulted him because Nowak was a white supremacist bigot who hates people with turbans.
Body camera footage, which was only released on Monday after widespread public outrage led by Elon Musk, shows how police responded at the scene. They didn&#8217;t doubt anything Digwa told them. But when Nowak, who was sprawled on the ground, told officers that he had been stabbed and that he was dying, officers told him that he was wrong. An officer asks, &#8220;You&#8217;ve been stabbed? Whereabouts? I don&#8217;t think you have, mate.&#8221; They handcuff him. They read him his rights. And then they let him die. This is the <a href="https://x.com/sotontimes/status/2061549464104370262?s=20">most disturbing body camera footage</a> I&#8217;ve ever seen. But it&#8217;s also an accurate depiction of what living in the UK now entails. 
They don&#8217;t display any curiosity about the foreigners who are clearly uninjured, while Nowak is sprawled on the ground, barely conscious. They kept Nowak handcuffed for more than a minute, even though blood was visible on his clothing, even though he stated he had been stabbed, and even though the officers knew that Sikhs in the UK have a special exemption that lets them carry large knives. They kept the handcuffs on, even though his hands were clearly white and drained of blood.

None of these officers have been punished in any way. They haven&#8217;t been identified. In Minneapolis, prosecutors went after Chauvin and every other officer on the scene — even the cops who were working crowd control. They sent them all to prison for a long time. But in this case, the officers suffer no consequences.
Unlike George Floyd, Nowak was not overdosing on anything. He wasn&#8217;t spitting out fentanyl pills and meth in the back of a squad car, or resisting arrest, or anything like that. His blood-alcohol-content was well under the legal limit. In this body camera footage, Nowak&#8217;s behavior was consistent with being stabbed. But because he was white and his attacker was a foreigner, the police let Nowak die without rendering any assistance whatsoever. In fact, they actively made things worse by dragging him on the ground and handcuffing him. Meanwhile, as Nowak&#8217;s father pointed out, Digwa was never handcuffed at any point.

This man wasn&#8217;t notified that his son had died until 24 hours after the fact. At every stage throughout these proceedings, British authorities have treated him and his son like garbage. And to his credit, he&#8217;s not tolerating it. 
I do have to point out that, like many men in his position, Nowak&#8217;s father is also repeating the same globalist script we&#8217;re all familiar with — the one where he affirms the alleged values of &#8220;inclusivity&#8221; and “diversity.” Even after these globalist values led directly to the horrific murder of his son, he feels compelled to defend them.

It&#8217;s like a parody of the Leftist response to a mass shooting, which we see so often in this country. He&#8217;s talking about &#8220;common sense knife control,&#8221; as if Britain&#8217;s decline is due to knives, which have been available in Britain since Britain existed as a country, without causing any problems. 
No, the problem isn&#8217;t knives. The problem is that you have people like Vickrum Digwa walking around your country, with special permission to carry massive blades on their belts — and a very strong desire to use them. You&#8217;ve imported the third world. And in the third world, it&#8217;s not uncommon for people to carry around big knives and stab each other with them at the first sign of &#8220;disrespect.&#8221; And it&#8217;s not uncommon for their family members to cover up their homicides, either. You should be calling for every single one of these people to be deported, starting with this killer&#8217;s mother and brother. That&#8217;s the moderate option. It&#8217;s the bare minimum.
As long as British men refuse to realize this obvious fact — as long as they continue to pretend that &#8220;diversity&#8221; is a strength, as diversity literally murders their children in the street, the country is doomed. 
Contrary to what that man just said, this case is absolutely, 100% about racism and &#8220;Sikhism.&#8221; It&#8217;s about anti-white hatred and disdain, tribal loyalty, and barbarism. The idea that it&#8217;s about &#8220;knives&#8221; is a total farce. And if British men responded to this murder with one-tenth of the intensity that Leftists used in response to George Floyd&#8217;s overdose, the problem would be solved overnight. So when do the riots begin? When will British men transform their entire society and their entire legal system to avenge Henry Nowak?
We all know the answer to that question. British men did nothing as Pakistani gangs went around raping British children for more than a decade. If we&#8217;re being honest, they&#8217;re probably not going to do anything about this, either. British men are the only net positive in the entire country. Every other ethnic group is a net negative in terms of their productivity versus the benefits they receive. They&#8217;re committing more and more crimes, which are increasingly heinous. This has been true for a long time. And no one in Britain is willing to do anything about it. They&#8217;re doormats. Nothing more.
The only reason this case ended in a conviction is that the police recorded audio that was obviously incriminating. After Nowak died, the police transported Digwa and his brother Gurpreet to the station for questioning. And in transit, the police captured their conversation with one another. The two men, speaking in Punjabi, came up with a plan to &#8220;pretend&#8221; that Digwa had acted in self-defense. At one point during the conversation, Digwa stated that if there were &#8220;any cameras in that part of Belmont Road,&#8221; he would be unable to make any kind of self-defense claim. So it&#8217;s pretty much the most incriminating conversation imaginable. Therefore, unsurprisingly, the court found Digwa guilty.

<iframe loading="lazy" title="BREAKING: Vickrum Digwa has been found GUILTY of the murder of Henry Nowak" width="422" height="750" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/4ExYVdlG_po?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
There were reports that, even after the verdict, members of the killer&#8217;s family continued to accuse Nowak&#8217;s family of being racist in court. There were scuffles outside the courthouse as a result. Again, these people have absolutely no shame. They only know how to claim victimhood status because it always works for them. They know that the West bends over backward to accommodate foreigners, no matter the cost.
In fact, despite the guilty verdict, that&#8217;s still the case here. Digwa was only sentenced to 20 years in prison. He&#8217;ll be eligible for parole at the age of 43. Yes, after murdering an innocent white teenager and then lying about it, Digwa will almost certainly be a free man in his 40s. He&#8217;ll be able to slaughter another white kid who looks at him the wrong way on the street.
It&#8217;s hard to imagine a more dystopian story, or a better way to describe the fall of Britain and the West more generally. A foreigner who shouldn&#8217;t even be in the country was granted a special exemption to carry a gigantic knife. He stabs a white kid because of &#8220;racism,&#8221; then tells his third-world mother to dispose of the evidence. The cops instinctively trust every word he says, as they manhandle the dying teenager. And the police get away with it. Then, after all this, the sentence is just 20 years in prison.

This Case Is A Million Times Worse Than George Floyd. Where Are The Riots?

Comedian and actor Kevin Hart defended a fellow comic on Tuesday over a George Floyd joke he told at Netflix’s “Roast of Kevin Hart” earlier this month.
Hart said he didn’t like the joke from Tony Hinchcliffe that some people have deemed racist, but he stressed that this type of over-the-top comedy is exactly what always happens at roasts, and he will always &#8220;appreciate humor.&#8221; Hart even went as far as to say that Hinchcliffe had one of the best sets at the roast, if not the best set. 
“The George Floyd joke, it wasn&#8217;t a tasteful joke to our culture, to our audience, but … if you’re watching the roast, you get why they&#8217;re doing it,” Hart said on “The Breakfast Club.” “You get why the racial humor is on the table. I wasn&#8217;t shocked — that’s what they do! Go look at the Tom Brady [roast]. It happens every year when they do a roast.”
During the roast, Hinchcliffe said to Hart, “The black community is so proud of you. … Right now, George Floyd is looking up at us all laughing so hard he can’t breathe.”
“People are talking about that joke,” Hart continued. “Talk about the set! Tony Hinchcliffe arguably had the best set, or one of the best sets.”

“I&#8217;m going to appreciate humor,” the comedian continued. “I don&#8217;t get affected by the attempt of humor. I get it.”
Hart also went on to ask what people were looking for from him. “What is it that you expect … to take a live production and stand up and fight Tony, or have a reaction? … Tony told a joke, it wasn&#8217;t a tasteful joke to us. We didn&#8217;t like it. Okay, &#8216;Hey man, f*ck that joke!&#8217; We move on.”
“It literally is, either you&#8217;re a fan of this level of content, or you&#8217;re not,” he added. “And if you&#8217;re not a fan, then you don&#8217;t watch it.”

Hart himself had a run-in with cancel culture. Back in 2018, he was chosen to host the Oscars, but was threatened to be dropped if he didn’t make a public apology over past jokes that some deemed homophobic.
Though he did ultimately offer a public apology, Hart initially refused to apologize and said he had already addressed the old jokes in the past.
“So, I just got a call from the Academy, and that call basically said, ‘Kevin, apologize for your tweets of old or we’re gonna have to move on and find another host,’” he recalled at the time. “I chose to pass. I passed on the apology.”
“The reason why I passed is because I’ve addressed this several times,” he continued. “This is not the first time this has come up. I’ve addressed it. I’ve spoken on it. I’ve said where the rights and wrongs were. I’ve said who I am now versus who I was then. I’ve done it. I’m not gonna continue to go back and tap into the days of old when I’ve moved on and I’m in a completely different space in my life.”
“You live and you learn and you grow and you mature,” he added. “I’m in a space where all I can do is be better as a human being.”
Hart later said that he was sorry that he “hurt people” and was choosing not to host the Oscars so as not to be a “distraction.”

Leftist Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey triggered a massive wave of online fury Monday morning after using a day reserved for honoring America’s fallen military service members to instead memorialize George Floyd.
“Today, we remember George Floyd, who was murdered by a former Minneapolis police officer six years ago,” Frey posted on X, completely ignoring the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for American freedom. The leftist mayor went on to drone about “painful truths,” “policing,” and “global significance,” essentially treating the federal holiday like a taxpayer-funded advertisement for his city’s Black Lives Matter re-education camp.

The backlash was instant, fierce, and entirely deserved. Critics quickly reminded the gutless mayor that Memorial Day belongs to heroes — not to a man with a lengthy rap sheet that included a 2007 aggravated robbery where Floyd pointed a gun at a pregnant woman&#8217;s belly.
“Memorial Day is sacred ground for honoring American heroes who gave their lives for this country, not thugs,” blasted former United States Air Force pilot Buzz Patterson. “Clown Mayor Jacob Frey&#8230; hijacks it to worship George Floyd — a violent career criminal, armed robber, fentanyl-filled junkie who overdosed while fighting cops. This gutless mayor just spat in the face of every fallen soldier and their grieving families.”

Investigative reporter Sarah Fields drew a heartbreaking contrast between the holiday’s true meaning and Frey’s woke pandering. “You remember a guy who died of an overdose who pointed a gun at a pregnant woman,” Fields fired back. “I remember my best friend, who was sniped through the head during the last month of her deployment.

The historical reality of George Floyd has long been sanitized by the Left, but the cold hard facts remain. While former officer Derek Chauvin was convicted in the death, the autopsy revealed Floyd had zero damage to his trachea. Instead, the multi-convicted felon was packed to the gills with lethal levels of fentanyl, suffered from a severe preexisting heart condition, and was already screaming “I can’t breathe” while resisting arrest inside the police cruiser.

Floyd’s 2020 death was used by agitators to launch a summer of nationwide anarchist riots. The resulting BLM circus completely leveled parts of Minneapolis and left a trail of destruction across America. At least 15 people were killed, thousands of businesses — many minority-owned — were looted and torched, and insurance companies racked up a staggering $2 billion in damages, leaving cities scarred for a generation.
Realizing he had stepped into a PR woodchipper, a panicked Frey tried to execute a desperate U-turn two and a half hours later. He hastily posted a boilerplate tribute to the military, writing that we owe service members “our deepest gratitude.”

America was shaken by the tragic <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ben-shapiro-charlie-kirks-legacy-will-be-significantly-larger-as-time-goes-on?author=Virginia+Kruta&amp;category=undefined&amp;elementPosition=2&amp;row=3&amp;rowHeadline=Latest+News&amp;rowType=Vertical+Carousel&amp;title=Ben+Shapiro%3A+Charlie+Kirk%E2%80%99s+Legacy+Will+Be+%E2%80%98Significantly+Larger%E2%80%99+As+Time+Goes+On">assassination</a> of Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA, at the hands of a Left-wing radical in Utah on September 10. 
Kirk, a devoted husband, father, and man of faith, was remembered over the weekend by tens of thousands of supporters who filled an NFL stadium in Glendale, Arizona, for his memorial service, with <a href="https://x.com/AndrewKolvet/status/1969928939289325705?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1969928939289325705%7Ctwgr%5E788c17dac412413b69b9498eb7d93a628d67205b%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.breitbart.com%2Ft%2Fassets%2Fhtml%2Ftweet-5.html1969928939289325705">millions more</a> watching online.
In the aftermath of his assassination, however, a national debate has erupted over the rising wave of Left-wing violence in this country. Stepping in as guest host of &#8220;The Charlie Kirk Show,&#8221; Vice President JD Vance <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/vance-left-wing-extremism-led-charlie-kirks-killing/story?id=125587999">addressed</a> the issue head-on:
<blockquote>We have to talk about this incredibly destructive movement of Left-wing extremism that has grown up over the last few years and, I believe, is part of the reason why Charlie was killed by an assassin’s bullet.</blockquote>
Vice President Vance is right. Over the past decade, America has witnessed a disturbing surge in Left-wing violence. In fact, a new Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/exclusive-attempted-kavanaugh-assassin-identifies-as-transgender-woman-legal-filings-show">exclusive report</a> just revealed that the suspect in the attempted assassination of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh identifies as a transgender woman. 
The violence is real and is now showing up in myriad locations. Here are just a few of the most alarming examples.
<h3>The Congressional Baseball Game Shooting</h3>

On June 14, 2017, a gunman <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2017/10/06/politics/congressional-shooter-70-rounds">opened fire</a> during a practice for the annual Congressional Baseball Game in Alexandria, Virginia. The shooter, 66-year-old James T. Hodgkinson, wounded four people: House Majority Whip Steve Scalise, Capitol Police officer Crystal Griner, congressional aide Zack Barth, and lobbyist Matt Mika.
The attack sparked a ten-minute shootout between Hodgkinson and responding officers from both the U.S. Capitol Police and Alexandria Police. Hodgkinson was eventually shot by police and later died from his injuries. Scalise and Mika were transported to local hospitals, where both required surgery.
Hodgkinson was a Left-wing activist from Belleville, Illinois, with a criminal record of domestic violence. The Virginia Attorney General <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20171008071727/https://www.alexandriava.gov/uploadedFiles/commattorney/info/17-001%20-%20Simpson%20Field%20Shooting%20-%20FINAL%2010.06.17.pdf">concluded</a> the attack was &#8220;an act of terrorism &#8230; fueled by rage against Republican legislators.&#8221;
<h3>2020 George Floyd Riots</h3>
<div id="attachment_776183" style="width: 874px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-776183" class="size-large wp-image-776183" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/08/GettyImages-1409134624-864x576.jpg" alt="The Minneapolis Third Police Precinct is set on fire during a third night of protests following the death of George Floyd while in Minneapolis police custody, on Thursday, May 28, 2020." width="864" height="576" />Carlos Avila Gonzalez/The San Francisco Chronicle via Getty Images</div>
Throughout 2020, Left-wing riots spread across the United States, affecting over 2,000 cities. The unrest began on May 26, 2020, in Minneapolis following the death of 46-year-old George Floyd during an arrest related to a counterfeit $20 bill.
Floyd had an <a href="https://www.discoverthenetworks.org/other/george-floyds-criminal-record/">extensive</a> criminal history that included numerous drug offenses, criminal trespassing, armed robbery of a family, and counterfeiting.
The Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s autopsy <a href="https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/6936176-Autopsy-2020-3700-Floyd/">reported</a> that Floyd had 11 ng/mL of fentanyl in his system at the time of his death. In the subsequent trial of Officer Derek Chauvin, the defense cited this, along with Floyd’s other health conditions, as contributing factors in his death.
Chauvin was still found guilty, and apologists for the nationwide violence continue to claim Floyd’s death was a case of police brutality.
At the conclusion of the violence, 19 people lost their lives, over $1 billion in <a href="https://www.axios.com/2020/09/16/riots-cost-property-damage?utm_source=chatgpt.com">damage</a> was reported, and over 10,000 people were <a href="https://apnews.com/article/american-protests-us-news-arrests-minnesota-burglary-bb2404f9b13c8b53b94c73f818f6a0b7?utm_source=chatgpt.com">arrested</a>.

On July 13, 2024, Donald Trump, former President of the United States and presumptive Republican nominee for the 2024 presidential election, survived an assassination attempt while speaking at a campaign rally near Butler, Pennsylvania.
Trump was struck and wounded in the upper right ear by 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, who fired eight rounds from an AR-15–style rifle from the roof of a nearby building. The attack also killed one audience member, firefighter Corey Comperatore, and critically injured two others.
While information about Crooks’ political leanings remains seemingly contradictory due to his status as a registered Republican, we do know he <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-shooter-thomas-crooks-donation-to-democrats-registered-republican/">donated</a> to a Democrat cause through ActBlue, was <a href="https://x.com/SomeBitchIIKnow/status/1812553057919545711">bullied</a> in high school for wearing a mask after COVID-19, and attempted to assassinate Donald Trump, the most important conservative political figure of our lifetime.
It’s not exactly a stretch to classify him as a perpetrator of Left-wing violence.

On July 13, 2019, Willem van Spronsen, a Dutch-born immigrant and Left-wing activist, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/man-who-attacked-ice-facility-used-concentration-ryan-saavedra">attempted</a> to firebomb a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center in Tacoma, Washington. He was shot and killed by police while trying to ignite a propane tank.
According to police, Van Spronsen <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2019/07/19/ice-detention-center-attacker-killed-by-police-was-an-avowed-anarchist-authorities-say/">identified</a> as an anarchist and claimed affiliation with Antifa.
Van Spronsen had <a href="https://www.kiro7.com/news/south-sound-news/vashon-island-man-sent-manifesto-before-he-was-killed-at-detention-center/966996647/">written</a> a manifesto outlining why he attacked the ICE facility. In the document, he declared that &#8220;it&#8217;s time to take action against the forces of evil.”
The rise of Left-wing violence is alarming, though not surprising. Since President Trump’s 2016 campaign, Left-wing politicians, pundits, and activists have consistently labeled Right-leaning figures with extreme and inflammatory terms.

Sisson <a href="https://x.com/harryjsisson/status/1937740956696215671">calling</a> Charlie Kirk a “racist piece of trash” who should “just put the Klan hood on,” the deceptive strategy has been persistent.

A Decade Of Left-Wing Violence: A Look At Four Primary Examples

Crime

Democrats

Political Violence

Steve Scalise

The brutal murder of a 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee on a North Carolina bus has become a flashpoint in national discussions about urban safety, with President Donald Trump weighing in on the tragedy.
&#8220;I give my love and hope to the family of the young woman who was stabbed in Charlotte by a madman, a lunatic,” Trump said in a speech at the Museum of the Bible on Monday. “Just viciously stabbed, she&#8217;s just sitting there.”
“There are evil people,” the president added. “We have to be able to handle that. If we don&#8217;t handle that, we don&#8217;t have a country.&#8221;
The victim, Iryna Zarutska, came to the United States in 2022. She was returning from her job at a local pizzeria when Decarlos Brown stabbed her repeatedly in the neck. The video of the attack is profoundly disturbing and has circulated widely online, amplifying concerns about Charlotte&#8217;s escalating violent crime.
According to recent data, the city experienced a 25% increase in homicides last year — the second-highest on record, surpassed only by the peak in 2020 amid the Black Lives Matter riots. Robberies in the city center have surged 54%, general violent offenses are up nearly 10%, and &#8220;shootings into occupied property&#8221; have risen 42%.
Many Charlotte residents have said they no longer feel safe using public transit.
“I think that there&#8217;s a lot of things we could talk about, of the failure of what&#8217;s happened in Charlotte from nobody checking tickets to no real law enforcement that was there on the train,” North Carolina Congressman Mark Harris told The Daily Wire.
“I spoke to a parent who said that they had wanted to take their five-year-old for his birthday just a few weeks ago on a train ride. It was on a Friday at 11 o&#8217;clock in the morning. They did that, but they had to get off the train because of a fight that nearly broke out, and it was because it was somebody on there that didn&#8217;t have a ticket…And this dad said, ‘I just got my family and got off for our own safety.’&#8221;
&#8220;When you have things like that happening in your city, you&#8217;re seeing a city that is not being governed well.”
Brown had a lengthy criminal history, including at least 14 prior arrests for offenses such as armed robbery and assault with a deadly weapon. Despite serving five years for the robbery, most of his other cases resulted in time served, probation, or community service.
His most recent arrest in January was for misusing 911, yet Judge Teresa Stokes granted him pretrial release despite his violent record. In 2024 alone, Brown had three encounters with the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department&#8217;s (CMPD) community policing team, each time receiving referrals to resources and fines rather than jail time.
Critics argue that progressive reforms to North Carolina&#8217;s criminal justice system, implemented since 2020, contributed to Brown remaining on the streets. Two weeks after George Floyd&#8217;s death, then-Democrat Attorney General Josh Stein — now the state&#8217;s governor — announced the creation of a &#8220;Task Force for Racial Equity in Criminal Justice.&#8221;
&#8220;The inequities that African Americans experience, whether it&#8217;s in the economy, healthcare, our schools or the criminal justice system, are pervasive, just as they are wrong,&#8221; Stein, whose campaign for attorney general was <a href="https://www.opensecrets.org/officeholders/josh-stein/contributors?cycle=2020&amp;id=333383&amp;recs=100" target="_blank" rel="noopener">supported</a> by George Soros, stated at the time.
&#8220;The task force for racial equity and criminal justice will consider and implement measures that can bring about meaningful change to the criminal justice system. We will review law enforcement recruitment, training and accountability, as well as court issues, including pretrial release and the use of fines and fees.&#8221;
The task force&#8217;s <a href="about:blank" target="_blank" rel="noopener">recommendations</a> included expanding pretrial release, decriminalizing homelessness and &#8220;public behavior,&#8221; and mandating &#8220;implicit bias training&#8221; for judges and prosecutors. Opponents say these changes directly enabled Brown&#8217;s repeated releases, with a <a href="about:blank" target="_blank" rel="noopener">later report</a> from the racial equity task force highlighting that the task force’s recommendations on expanding pretrial releases were being adopted in courts around the state.
Adding fuel to the debate, Charlotte&#8217;s Democrat Mayor Vi Lyles issued a statement immediately following the stabbing that omitted any mention of Zarutska while calling for &#8220;compassion&#8221; toward the perpetrator.
&#8220;We will never arrest our way out of issues such as homelessness and mental health,&#8221; Lyles said. &#8220;I want to be clear that I am not villainizing those who struggle with their mental health or those who are unhoused. Mental health disease is just that— a disease like any other that needs to be treated with the same compassion, diligence and commitment as cancer or heart disease.&#8221;
A GoFundMe campaign has been set up to support Zarutska’s family, who said she came to the United States “seeking safety from the war and hoping for a new beginning.”

Fatal Charlotte Stabbing Highlights The Failure Of Racial Equity Policies

Donald Trump

North Carolina

Ukraine

It&#8217;s become perfectly predictable at this point.
Let&#8217;s say there&#8217;s a violent incident in which a black person and a white person get into conflict. Let&#8217;s say it&#8217;s the white person who ends up killing the black person. Even in a situation where the black person was actually performing an aggressive act and the white person was acting in defense of self or others in the situation, we get months of discussions about white on black violence.
If it&#8217;s Michael Brown, months and years of talk about white on black police and crime. Derek Chauvin, George Floyd. This is just the way it goes.
If, however, the crime is reversed, if it is a black perpetrator and a white victim, then, of course, it just disappears into the ether and we never hear about it again. The latest case of this happens to be this horrifying video out of North Carolina.
According to the <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/09/06/us-news/ukrainian-refugees-stabbing-death-on-north-carolina-train-caught-on-video/">New York Post</a>:
<blockquote>Haunting new video revealed the terrifying moment a homeless ex-con allegedly fatally <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/08/25/us-news/ukrainian-refugee-23-who-fled-war-for-safer-life-in-us-knifed-to-death-by-homeless-career-criminal-in-north-carolina/">stabbed a 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee</a> in what police said was a random attack on a North Carolina light rail train. Iryna Zarutska, who fled war-torn Ukraine for a safer life in America, was on the Lynx Blue Line in Charlotte just before 10 p.m. Aug. 22 when she was ambushed, <a href="https://www.charlottenc.gov/cmpd/News-Information/Newsroom/Homicide-Investigation-in-the-Central-Division-08.22.25">according to the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department.</a>
The <a href="https://www.wbtv.com/2025/09/05/light-rail-stabbing-graphic-video-shows-moments-before-after-woman-killed-charlotte/">surveillance footage</a>, released Friday by the Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS), shows Zarutska boarding the train in her pizzeria uniform at 9:46 p.m. and sitting, looking at her phone, unaware of the danger behind her.
Just four minutes later, 34-year-old Decarlos Brown Jr. allegedly whips out a folding knife and lunges forward, stabbing her three times, at least once in the neck, police said.
The chilling video then appears to show Brown walking through the rail car, stripping off his sweatshirt and waiting by the doors — as passengers began to notice blood dripping from him.</blockquote>
Zarutska, collapsed in her seat and was pronounced dead on the light rail train. Brown apparently got off at the next stop. A folding knife was later recovered near the platform.
There are a couple of issues here.
This particular perpetrator had multiple arrests dating back to 2011. His record included larceny, robbery with a dangerous weapon, and communicating threats.
The first issue has nothing to do with race. It has to do with our criminal justice system not keeping criminals in prison long enough. I know this cuts against the left-wing view that we are an “over-incarcerated” society.
Wrong. We&#8217;re a radically under-incarcerated society.

My point is not that we need more random misdemeanor defendants in jail — my point is that if someone is arrested for armed robbery, that person should be in jail for the rest of his or her life. They should not be let back out on the streets. It’s wrong to stick someone like that in jail for only three or four years, especially if they&#8217;re a homeless, mentally ill person, which is what this person was.
What we end up with is crime on the street. This idiocy where we arrest career criminals, take them off the streets for five minutes, and put them back on the streets is insane. It&#8217;s totally ridiculous and insane at every possible level. It gets human beings murdered. 
There are judges who give light sentences that allow for this catch-and-release nonsense. This process needs to be ended immediately.
Evil people need to go to jail forever. Forever. They should not be out. There&#8217;s a very, very high recidivism rate with regard to violent crime.
The second issue is the racial angle, which is less about race and more about media coverage of race. There are some people who will attempt to turn this into some sort of salient point about the difference between races.
Let&#8217;s be very clear. Crime is a result of individual evil human action. It is not inborn into any race. What you have in a lot of areas are different cultural orientations toward crime. This is just a reality. If you don&#8217;t have fathers in the home with high crime areas, if you have people who see other criminals around them acting like criminals, they act like criminals.
The media coverage is always radically disparate. If a white person commits a crime against a black person, it is a national news story. If a black person murders a white Ukrainian girl on the train in Charlotte, it gets zero mainstream media coverage.
Zero.
As of Sunday, The New York Times had not covered the story at all.
Liz Wheeler <a href="https://x.com/Liz_Wheeler/status/1964875008209301552">pointed out</a> that The New York Times dedicated some 6,000 articles to George Floyd, roughly 1,200 articles to Trayvon Martin, 56 to Kilmar Abrego Garcia, roughly 100 to Daniel Penny, and ZERO to Iryna Zarutska.

It is not out of line to point out the radical disparity in attention to these headlines. If you ask people who work in legacy media why they have their biases, they will say they don&#8217;t want to “reinforce stereotypes.”
The only stereotype that&#8217;s being reinforced when they don&#8217;t report the news is that the legacy media are trash, and they&#8217;re not giving you the full information.
Donald Trump Jr. <a href="https://x.com/DonaldJTrumpJr/status/1965016826141958650">noted</a>, “Strangely, all the clowns with Ukraine flags in their bio are also all silent on this one.”
What he means by that is that many of the people who have the Ukraine flags in their bio are people who are leftists, people who are oriented against the Trump administration. But when a Ukrainian woman gets killed on a subway by a black man, it turns out that the intersectional hierarchy has been upended.
And so they have to ignore the murder.
The bottom line here is, as always, legacy media are perfectly willing to overlook stories that do not match their narrative.
The death of this young woman will not become a national issue. It will not spur a national conversation about crime rates, about policing, or about people getting out too early on bail.
It won&#8217;t do any of those things because it doesn&#8217;t match up with the corrupt legacy media and what they wish the world were really all about.

The trial is underway for a professor who sued the University of California, Los Angeles, over his suspension after he refused to grade black students more leniently in the wake of George Floyd&#8217;s highly publicized death.
Gordon Klein, an accounting <a href="https://www.anderson.ucla.edu/faculty-and-research/accounting/faculty/klein">professor</a> at UCLA, is demanding $22 million in damages in a trial that began last week in Santa Monica.
Back in June 2020, just weeks after George Floyd&#8217;s death, Klein received an email from a group of his students asking for a &#8220;no-harm&#8221; final exam that could only help their grades and would involve shorter tests and extended deadlines for final assignments and projects.

The students asked for special accommodations due to “traumas, we have been placed in a position where we much (sic) choose between actively supporting our black classmates or focusing on finishing up our spring quarter,” as The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ucla-students-want-two-professors-fired-because-they-didnt-accommodate-student-feelings">reported</a> at the time.
“We believe that remaining neutral in times of injustice brings power to the oppressor and therefore staying silent is not an option,” the students told Klein.
The students claimed their request was not “a joint effort to get finals canceled for non-black students,” but rather to “ask that you exercise compassion and leniency with black students in our major.”
Klein responded with several sarcastic emails that got him in trouble with the school.
“Thanks for your suggestion in your email below that I give black students special treatment, given the tragedy in Minnesota,” Klein wrote to the students.
“Do you know the names of the classmates that are black?” the professor asked. “How can I identify them since we’ve been having online classes only?”
Klein also asked about students who “may be of mixed parentage, such as half black-half Asian?”
“What do you suggest I do with respect to them? A full concession or just half?” he quipped.
Klein also wrote that “a white student from [Minneapolis] might be possibly even more devastated by this, especially because some might think that they’re racist even if they are not.”
The professor ended his email response to the complaining students with Martin Luther King Jr.&#8217;s famous quote about not judging people based on the color of their skin.
Students screenshotted Klein&#8217;s email and posted it to social media, where it sparked angry responses.
Klein was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/professor-sues-ucla-after-he-was-suspended-for-refusing-to-grade-black-students-differently-than-white-students">suspended</a> and criticized by UCLA in June 2020 before being reinstated in September 2020, <a href="https://dailybruin.com/2025/06/30/trial-to-begin-in-lawsuit-filed-by-ucla-lecturer-against-administrators">according</a> to the Daily Bruin.
“Conduct that demonstrates a disregard for our core principles, including an abuse of power, is not acceptable,” <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/trial-set-to-begin-over-ucla-prof-suspended-after-refusing-lenient-grading-for-black-students/">wrote</a> Anderson School Dean Antonio Bernardo in a message to the campus community. &#8220;I deeply regret the increased pain and anger that our community has experienced at this very difficult time. We must and will hold each other to higher standards.”
UCLA reinstated Klein after just a few weeks, but his reputation and career had already suffered, according to the professor&#8217;s lawsuit.
Klein accuses UCLA of harming his expert witness practice, where he previously made about $1 million a year in high-profile cases, including Michael Jackson’s wrongful death suit.
“By this moment, as a direct and immediate result of [his] public suspension and excoriation, Professor Klein’s expert witness practice had been permanently destroyed,” the lawsuit <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/trial-set-to-begin-over-ucla-prof-suspended-after-refusing-lenient-grading-for-black-students/">states</a>.
Meanwhile, UCLA will argue that Klein was suspended for his &#8220;tone and manner.&#8221;
The <a href="https://legalinsurrection.com/2025/07/trial-starts-in-suit-against-ucla-by-prof-gordon-klein-targeted-and-smeared-for-refusing-exam-leniency-for-black-students/">trial</a> is expected to last through the end of next week.

Even though he was technically correct, Governor Gavin Newsom&#8217;s (D-CA) latest attempt to fact-check conservatives — over a protest video that circulated via X — went sideways in a hurry.
The video in question was shared by a number of accounts and showed protesters surrounding several LAPD vehicles that had been damaged and set on fire.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Community notes clarified that the video was not from the recent confrontations between violent protesters and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. Rather, it was from the violent riots that took place in the aftermath of George Floyd&#8217;s death in May of 2020.
Both Newsom himself and his press office quickly capitalized on the error, responding to multiple accounts that shared the video and saying, &#8220;This video is from 2020,&#8221; or &#8220;FACT CHECK: This video is not from this year. Misinformation like this only adds to the chaos the Trump Administration is seeking. Check your sources before sharing info!&#8221;

And even though Newsom was correct regarding the origin of that particular video, critics quickly pointed out the fact that there were plenty of current videos — many depicting similar carnage on the streets of Los Angeles — to go around.

Dozens of residents filled Chicago’s Federal Plaza on May 25 to commemorate the 5th anniversary of George Floyd’s controversial death that led to riots across the world.
TPUSA contributor Savanah Hernandez was right there to greet them, asking protesters what they thought of Floyd’s autopsy results that show he died of a fentanyl overdose. She was met with confusion, pushback, and even hostility.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
“Bringing up the fentanyl thing is f*cked up!”
For the fifth anniversary of George Floyd’s death, I decided to go show protesters his autopsy report. 
They all stated it was irrelevant to his death: <a href="https://t.co/uG2H4crneY">pic.twitter.com/uG2H4crneY</a>
&mdash; Savanah Hernandez (@sav_says_) <a href="https://twitter.com/sav_says_/status/1927016045383942574?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 26, 2025</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
“Bringing up the fentanyl thing is f***ed up,” one protestor spat. “Let’s just pretend that it was from the drug, right? Who cares? That’s not how he f***ing died.”
Many of the protestors Hernandez spoke to echoed the &#8220;who cares&#8221; sentiment.
“The autopsy report that says there was fentanyl in his system — why is that relevant to anything?” asked one protestor. “Maybe he did have fentanyl in his system. I don’t care. It doesn’t matter.”
Other residents denied the evidence of a fentanyl overdose altogether.
“I think it’s untrue and propaganda that he died from a fentanyl overdose,” one protestor said, despite seeing the autopsy report.
“America is still racist,” one man claimed from behind a mask, a stance some white protestors agreed with, seeking to acknowledge their supposed privilege.
“It’s so important for white people [to] not forget George Floyd,” one said.
“I am a white woman and I have privilege, so I want to be able to show up in these spaces and make sure that other communities are safe,” said another.
Hernandez pressed one protester further. “Do you feel like if George Floyd was white, the narrative surrounding his death would be different?” she asked.
“Absolutely,” the woman responded. “Everyone would know.”
On May 25, 2020, a store owner in Minneapolis called the police on Floyd over a counterfeit bill. Once law enforcement arrived, a struggle ensued near the police vehicle, leading Officer Derek Chauvin to kneel on Floyd&#8217;s upper back while he was handcuffed and lying face down. Floyd died during the restraint, leading to widespread outrage and riots against police brutality.
Chauvin was convicted of murder and sentenced to 22.5 years in prison. However, the autopsy report revealed Floyd died from a fentanyl overdose he took before the police arrived, meaning Chauvin&#8217;s restraint did not suffocate him.
The Daily Wire has <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/show/the-case-for-derek-chauvin" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pushed</a> for a pardon for Chauvin.

As Ali MacGraw and Ryan O’Neal famously said, “Love means never having to say you&#8217;re sorry.”
Someone should tell that to modern day comedians.
Too many apologize for their past jokes, often years after uttering them. For some, it’s Damage Control 101. The “wrong” joke, no matter how long ago it was spoken, could be a cancel-worthy affair.
Take <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-52815624" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jimmy Fallon groveling for forgiveness</a> during a 2020 Tonight Show episode over a 20-year-old blackface sketch. The apology came during the height of the BLM movement.
In other cases, it’s pure virtue signaling, since no one actually remembered the bad joke in question.
The latter may explain Sarah Silverman’s recent mea culpa. The far-Left comic previously got pinched by Cancel Culture when a 2007-era blackface gag <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/nbcblk/sarah-silverman-says-she-lost-film-role-wearing-blackface-2007-n1041621" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cost her a movie role</a>.
She took a rare shot at Cancel Culture while sharing that story.
“You have to ask yourself, would I want this person to be changed or do I secretly want them to stay what I deem as wrong so I can point to them as f***ed up and myself as right?”
More recently, Silverman <a href="https://x.com/RollingStone/status/1924113153228423434">apologized for using the n-word</a> in previous comedy routines.
“I felt like the temperature of the world around me at the time was, ‘We are all liberal so we can say the n-word. We aren’t racist, so we can say this derogatory stuff’ … I was playing a character that was arrogant and ignorant, so I thought it was OK. Looking back, my intentions were always good, but they were f***ing ignorant.”
She’s far from alone.
Tina Fey once blasted the woke mob for policing humor. The “30 Rock” alum said she makes it a policy <a href="https://reason.com/2015/12/20/tina-fey-is-done-apologizing-for-offensi/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">not to explain her jokes</a>.
Post-George Floyd, a very different <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-53148316" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fey yanked four “30 Rock” episodes</a> from syndication for featuring various blackface jokes. Said episodes cannot be found on streaming or DVD platforms, according to the BBC.
Fey apologized for the “pain they have caused.” What pain? The subject came up during the BLM protests. How many people cared before…or after? Context is everything, particularly in comedy, and the episodes weren’t designed to attack or belittle black people.
Standup comedian John Mulaney isn’t known for his political musings. Yet he still circled back to apologize for a riff about the 2020 presidential election. He dared suggest it didn’t matter if an elderly Joe Biden or a slightly less elderly Donald Trump won.
“Outrage” ensued, and he <a href="https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2020/12/john-mulaney-snl-backlash-kimmel" target="_blank" rel="noopener">backpedaled on Jimmy Kimmel Live!</a>
&#8220;I should have said I very much want one to win over the other, and there will be improvements if one wins. I deserved backlash. I flat-out just forgot to do it&#8230; I never was like, ‘Hey, don’t you mean that one guy is worse than the other?’ And I forgot to make the joke good.&#8221;
Taylor Swift is arguably the most famous celebrity in the world, meaning she’s heard her fair share of insults, jokes and more. It’s not pretty, but it comes with the territory.
Comedienne Nikki Glaser still felt the need to <a href="https://www.today.com/popculture/miss-americana-nikki-glaser-apologizes-taylor-swift-t172987" target="_blank" rel="noopener">apologize to Tay Tay</a> after an old crack she made about the pop superstar resurfaced in the Swift documentary “Miss Americana.”
“She’s too skinny; it bothers me&#8230;all of her model friends, and it’s just like, c&#8217;mon!'&#8221;
Glaser called it “projection” due to her own eating disorder issues. Has she apologized to others <a href="https://www.thewrap.com/nikki-glaser-does-a-brutal-hilarious-high-speed-roast-of-biden-trump-and-other-politicians-video/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">she’s hammered with her humor since then</a>? It’s even more ironic because her biggest career boost came when she killed it at Netflix’s “The Roast of Tom Brady” last year.
The Apology Tour isn’t reserved for stand-up comedians. The key forces behind 2007’s “Superbad” — co-star and co-writer Seth Rogen, and star Jonah Hill — have apologized for the movie’s raunchy humor.
Rogen apologized for <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/seth-rogen-regrets-homophobic-superbad-jokes/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">capturing how real teenagers talk</a> in the hit comedy.
&#8220;There are probably some jokes in &#8216;Superbad&#8217; that are bordering on blatantly homophobic at times. They&#8217;re all in the voice of high school kids, who do speak like that, but I think we&#8217;d also be silly not to acknowledge that we also were, to some degree, glamorizing that type of language in a lot of ways.&#8221;
Hill piled on, blasting his own early comedies as portraits of “<a href="https://variety.com/2019/film/festivals/berlin-film-festival-jonah-hill-wants-to-challenge-traditional-masculinity-1203134534/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">toxic masculinity.”</a>
“I love those films, but I also think that if you look back at those films, a lot of what they’re showing is major bro comedy, and bro masculinity.”
He said he wanted his newer films to educate viewers about the “problematic behavior” highlighted in these box office hits.
Not every comic performer feels this way. Monty Python alum John Cleese isn’t eager to apologize for his past gags, and he occasionally does so <a href="https://www.yahoo.com/news/john-cleese-issues-sarcastic-apology-155723976.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">with tongue firmly in cheek</a> to make his point.
Podcasting giant Adam Carolla is even more firm in his “no apology” mantra.
The “Mr. Birchum” star defended his position in 2015 during a <a href="https://www.huffpost.com/entry/adam-carolla-done-apologizing_n_6811940" target="_blank" rel="noopener">HuffPo conversation</a>.
&#8220;Go find a politician or somebody who&#8217;s in charge and poke a popsicle stick up their butt…I&#8217;m a comedian. I&#8217;m done apologizing, I really am&#8230;And by the way, everyone who apologizes is faking it. They&#8217;re only doing it because they&#8217;re gonna get canned.&#8221;
He later started his book, “Everything Reminds Me of Something: Advice, Answers … but No Apologies“ with this promise.
“I’m not going to apologize. S****y times call for s****y language.”
And, bless his heart, 98-year-old Mel Brooks has yet to apologize for “The Producers” and its pro-Hitler ditty, “Springtime for Hitler.”
