I recently wrote about the effort of leading politicians, pundits, and the press to deny the existence of Antifa as violence on the left rises around the country. Even Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison (D) insisted that “nobody” knows what the left-wing terrorist organization Antifa is and that it does not exist. However, he previously promoted the “Antifa Handbook” in 2018 and praised the group as terrifying Trump. Rep. Dan Goldman (D., N.Y.) dared anyone to name a single member of Antifa. The Justice Department just named two in what is believed to be the first terrorism-related prosecution of Antifa members.
Federal prosecutors have charged two North Texas men, Cameron Arnold and Zachary Evetts, who are accused of helping orchestrate an attack on an ICE detention center in Alvarado. They are charged with providing material support to terrorists, attempted murder of officers and employees of the U.S., and discharging a firearm in relation to a crime of violence.
On the night of July 4, several masked individuals dressed in black vandalized vehicles and security cameras in the ICE parking lot and then opened fire on an Alvarado police officer who approached them, seriously wounding one officer.
According to the indictment, Cameron Arnold yelled, “Get to the rifles,” as police responded to the attack.
“Seconds later, coconspirator-1 [Arnold] opened fire on the officers, striking the Alvarado officer in the neck area as the unarmed correctional officers ducked and ran for cover. The wounded officer fell to the ground but was able to return a few shots. Coconspirator-1 continued to fire additional rounds until his rifle jammed. The attackers then left the scene.”
ICE found fliers bearing messages like, “FIGHT ICE TERROR WITH CLASS WAR!” and “FREE ALL POLITICAL PRISONERS” at the scene.
The DOJ describes Antifa “as a militant enterprise made up of networks of individuals and small groups primarily ascribing to a revolutionary anarchist or autonomous Marxist ideology, which explicitly calls for the overthrow of the U.S. government, law enforcement authorities, and the system of law.”
As I discussed in my book, “The Indispensable Right: Free Speech in an Age of Rage.” Antifa is the most violent, anti-free speech group in the nation.
By design, Antifa avoids typical leadership hierarchies and organizational structures. Antifa was first created in the 1920s, associated with the Weimar-era German communist group Antifaschistische Aktion. It has always emphasized anonymity and secrecy to evade law enforcement in carrying out violent attacks.
The indictment details how this group used encryption systems to conceal their communication.
The group allegedly showed up with over 50 firearms that were purchased in Fort Worth, Grand Prairie, Dallas, and other locations. That included numerous AR-platform rifles.
Former House Judiciary Chair Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) was widely ridiculed for denying the existence of Antifa.
Others on the left have joined Goldman in this absurd claim. Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel committed part of his monologue to assure viewers that Antifa is no more than a mythical “chupacabra.” “You understand there is no Antifa,” he said. “This is an entirely made-up organization.”
Law enforcement officials like former FBI Director Christopher Wray have long debunked the deniers like Goldman. “Antifa is a real thing,” said Wray.
I have testified about Antifa before Congress, run columns on the organization for over a decade, and wrote a book discussing Antifa. Nevertheless, I opposed declaring Antifa a terrorist organization due to free speech concerns, but I also know that it is very real.
The Administration clearly chose this case carefully for the first terrorism-related case. The level of concealment and coordination reinforces the view of an organizational identity and machine.
In the indictment, the government alleges that “Some Antifa Cell members discussed logistics, previous site reconnaissance, and locations of security cameras at the facility. They exchanged a map of Prarieland and the surrounding area that showed the locations of nearby police stations.” One individual allegedly said that one of the groups would be “bringing a wagon to hold armor and rifles.”
In the end, even if the terrorism-related charge fails, the remaining counts will be difficult to defeat as a whole, and the government only needs one or two counts to secure a lengthy prison sentence.
Here is the indictment: United States v. Arnold
if a ‘domestic terrorist’ is someone who is seen as an enemy combatant essentially, then surely the financing organizations of this enemy combatant are also by extension enemy combatants. In fact, they are actually the primary enemy combatants, as without them, the on the street combatant could not exist. Therefore, direct kinetic action toward these primary enemy combatants is justified, and indeed preferred, as it is the most direct path to solving the problem at hand.
I would like to see a synchronized special forces elimination of all of these primary combatants worldwide – over say a 10-20 minute window of time. FAFO. Done. Problem solved. Simultaneously all their assets seized.
Your move, on the ground dumbf*cks and wannabe primary combatants.
Too much political rhetoric in criminal justice. In older times bottom line they would hang or face firing squad just for yackin about it.
Antifa is real. They are organized. They aren’t exercising free speech because their aim is to violently overthrow the capitalistic system. They should be declared a terrorist organization. The problem in the US is not with people being able to exercise their rights. The problem is with those who hide behind the rights of the Constitution while having no intention of actually supporting it.
Those two soy boys will love prison.. ole buck is going to break them out.
no Vaseline will be provided
They use mayo… condiment packets everywhere. No mustard or ketchup… just empty mayo packets everywhere.
I watched a Chicago police drone video of an antifa conflagration with the police in 2020. I am not militarily or police trained but I could tell that the antifa members were highly trained. They made sure that naive student supporters were at the forefront approaching the police line while they hunched behind them difficult to to be seen by the police meanwhile 2 large black SUVs pull up from behind and men jump out, open the back and handout frozen bottles of water to.give to the crouching antifa members to hurl over the heads of the students to hit the police. Any reaction by the police would look like overreaction to non violent students. Well managed and sinister.
they are called kommisars and they are the first ones to be shot
Is Ellison subject to arrest, for supporting a terrorist organization?
I yearn for the time when I grew up – Yes, I laughed at Leave it To Beaver, watched The Lone Ranger, etc. Now, my mind is so full of crap from these commies and socialists, I just forgot my age, hehe.
They say that ANTIFA does not exit. The John Brown Gun Clubs (JBGC) are a decentralized network of anti-capitalist, anti-fascist, and pro-gun organizations. Inspired by the abolitionist John Brown, these groups practice community defense and mutual aid and are allied with other leftist gun organizations like the Socialist Rifle Association (SRA). They’re so stupid that they shot up an ICE van and killed two illegal aliens. Google says that they’re unorganized and decentralized. Seems pretty organized to me. Wait for it. Funding for their activities by the left will soon be exposed. This is why Democratic members of Congress are saying that ANTIFA is just an ideology and not an organization.
Antifa is hitting those who live within close proximity to Rutgers University pretty hard. I would like to see Professor Turley write a column on what Mark “Dr. Antifa” Bray, author of “The Antifa Handbook” was teaching at Rutgers University and the formation of the Rutgers Turning Point chapter and the roots of what caused the chapter to go up against Bray that resulted in his fleeing the United States and the results of its fallout with the chapter and its affect on the students.
Antifa whitewashers demand that you prove *to them* that Antifa exists.
You’d have more success proving to an alcoholic in denial that he’s an alcoholic.
We say it’s so. That’s the only proof needed by the left as they have used that measure themselves for decades.
When higher level drug dealers are caught, they are sometimes offered an opportunity to reduce their punishment if they can successfully guide the DEA to the big fish. I imagine the same will hold true for these lower level thugs. If they can provide verifiable information leading to the capo, they might get some relief in their federal prison experience.
This will eventually (hopefully soon) lead to the ones pulling the strings and funding the vandalism. Once this happens and their funding networks are ceased and dried up, this will go a long way to stop this nonsense.
Still, there needs to be a few sacrificial lambs who will be convicted and sentenced to hard time. That will send a message that will ripple through the agitators. Round them
Up, arrest them, photograph them, take their biometric data and send them to jail and court.
During the “summer of love” riots, baskets of rocks mysteriously appeared the night before in the city where I live. These were the same low life criminals who were bussed ito our city to tear down statues and vandalize businesses. Our blue city police were commanded to stand down.
These are not “protests.” They are organized “rent a mob” activist agitators who haven’t a clue about any political issue other than creating chaos.
The new word is “unalived”. Antifa doing damage and violence are violating our civil rights, we should start violating theirs. A few de@d bodies left in the street may lead to a national uproar, but might be the deterrent to this craziness. Civil lawsuits will ensue, but there’s this thing called discovery, which will bring the evidence out in the open.
This seems an organization to me:
We traced $294,487,641 to the official No Kings 2.0 partners & organizers…all funneled through the same “Riot Inc.” dark-money networks:
💰 Arabella network $79.7M+
💰 Soros network $72.1M+
💰 Ford network $51.7M+
💰Tides $45.5M+
💰 Rockefeller $28.6M+
💰 Buffett $16.6M+
ittle do these white boomers know, the “No Kings” movement, supposedly against “kings and billionaires”, is, in reality, funded by leftist billionaire kings themselves. In truth, No Kings is bankrolled by far-left foundations backed by the same billionaire class that has been waging a political war against President Trump since his first term. Essentially, one faction of billionaires hates another, so their woke non-profit soldiers create a front group, brand it “No Kings,” and bankroll an army of paid protesters and unhinged left-wing activists. This is America in 2025: the permanent protest-industrial complex of hate and chaos, financed by the left.

Source: Zerohedge huh? “This seems an organization to me:”. Obviously you can’t think for yourself.
I wonder how many people were reading your reply and were agreeing until you said such a derogatory generalization , “ white boomers” and thought FU, and then could care less whatever else you said as you totally undermined any credit that you had.
Liberal white Boomers are the worst.
Not even in the same league as BLM black women ratchet ghettoites or middle east squat members and you know it. Think Joy Reid, Talib, Ketamji, Omar and AO big bootie latinas, same team different name.
We have, for years, been told by all the right—left—people that Antifa is an idea. It’s not an organization with leaders, funding and all the hallmarks of an organized network. All those Antifa flags, logos and masks aren’t an indication of organization. Yet somehow, the same people keep showing up at far flung “protests.” Antifa thugs are supplied with high-dollar gas masks and pre-printed signs used everywhere. Pallets of bricks are delivered to protest sites in advance, and there are networks of lawyers to augment the legions of Democrat politicians who won’t allow police to arrest Antifa thugs, the prosecutors who won’t prosecute the few that are arrested, and the judges who dismiss cases and free them without bail.
The New York Post reports that Antifa and like anarchists are funded, in part, by Americans taxpayers.
Who ends up paying far-left rioters like Antifa? Too often, taxpayers like you and me.
Through a developed network of radical leftist legal groups, like the National Lawyers Guild, lawfare against cities and police departments is the go-to method for payloads.
Among the reasons blue state governors object to federal law enforcement is they won’t prosecute Antifa, and don’t want federal prosecutions which might reveal deeper connections. But with Mr. Trump’s terrorist declaration, Antifa and its supporters are at long last in real trouble. That’s a very good thing for the rule of law, Normal Americans and America. It’s a very bad thing for Democrats, which is also a very good thing for America. – americanthinker
“We have, for years, been told by all the right—left—people that Antifa is an idea. …” Who is “we’?
Yes, it is an idea for stoopid and ignorant hatemongers to incite violence against liberals.
No wonder you’re anonymous, you’re an idiot!
Anonymous,, another narcissists who thinks they’re smarter than everyone & then post sarcastic, juvenile comments. Why is it so hard to make a respectful comment?
All YOU have to do to avoid being harassed by the mean ICE men is forgo the pleasure you get from causing harm to other people and stay home, watch CNN and MSNBC and make hateful comments on your favorite social media.
Just don’t act out your criminal fantasies on real people and you’ll be just fine..
About time, the violence won’t stop until there are serious consequences.
How serious? That a bunch of hatemongers from Turleys blog conspire and commit assassinations against democrats?
You attacking people who think like you.
This is your typical leftie

‘No Kings’ protests being funded by foundations run by George Soros: report
WASHINGTON (TNND) — The “No Kings” protests that will be taking place on Saturday are being funded by foundations belonging to billionaire philanthropist George Soros, according to a new report.
One of the groups is the Open Society Foundations, founded by the major Democratic donor.
Through a fund, the foundation issued a $3 million grant to the Indivisible Organization that was good for two years “to support the grantee’s social welfare activities.”
The Indivisible Organization is “managing data and communications with participants” for the “No Kings” protests, according to a report from Fox News.
Soros has given over $32 billion of his personal to foundations, according to Open Society Foundations.

Shabbat shalom everyone 😊
Have a peaceful sabbath.
As explained before, Antifa is a philosophy, like capitalism or democracy. There is no unified national organization, though there are some groups of individuals.
Making up a gross misinterpretation is not even a decent strawman argument.
Prosecuting accused criminals for crimes is one thing; criminalizing a noun is a stupid thing to believe in.
As Antifa’s communist apparatchiks trolling here continue to attempt: “As explained before, Antifa is a philosophy, like capitalism or democracy.”
And don’t forget, MS-13, Tren de Aragua, the Russian mob, Mexican drug cartels, etc. are also just a philosophy. Those groups are all exactly like Antifa: no unified national organization. There is only one difference: Antifa actually has a terror flag like the Hamas terrorist group. And like Hamas, Antifa also wears a uniform to identify their organization: dressed in black and masked.
Claiming they are a violent communist bunch of Democrat thugs whose stock in trade is the use of fascism to halt free speech is a gross misinterpretation and not even a decent strawman argument. You must stop doing that!
See… easy peasy!
That would make sense if Antifa’s “philosophy” only existed in theory — but it doesn’t. The moment a philosophy organizes into coordinated acts of violence, arson, and intimidation, it stops being abstract and starts being actionable. “Anti-fascism” as an idea isn’t the issue; it’s the people weaponizing that label to justify political violence.
Nobody’s trying to “criminalize a noun.” The concern is about conduct — the organized, violent behavior carried out under that shared banner. Pretending Antifa is just a “philosophy” is like saying the Mafia was merely a cultural movement about family values. Philosophies don’t torch cities or assault journalists — people acting on them do.
It’s idiotic to deflect from the verb by fixating on the noun. That’s become the Democratic Party’s entire strategy — label everything, redefine the words, and hope people forget the actions. They want to debate terminology because they can’t defend behavior. The problem isn’t the noun “Antifa”; it’s the verbs — burning, beating, threatening, destroying — that follow it.
This strategy is nowhere more obvious than in the Left’s obsession with labels — calling Trump a fascist, conservatives racists, misogynists, or transphobes. They think the label is the argument. But labels demand evidence, and the moment they have to prove the verbs behind their nouns, the whole house of cards collapses.
And as also explained before:
Gaslighting
Gaslighting is the intended psychological manipulation by the perpetrator of those they’re attempting to victimize through intentionally misleading that person or persons. This involves the perpetrator lying, denying events, and other methods used with the intent to have their victims doubt their perceptions of reality, memories, and feel overly emotional or irrational. Within personal relationships, it is a form of psychological abuse and torture. The main five methods of gaslighting that may be used alone or in conjunction with others are: lying, blame shifting, countering, trivializing and withholding.
U R A fking idiot
“U R A fking idiot”
Channeling; also referred to as projection:
Channeling one’s actions onto others typically refers to the psychological concept of projection, where an emotionally disturbed individual unconsciously or deliberately attributes their own thoughts, feelings, and anti-social or criminal behaviors to someone else. This is an internal defense mechanism which allows a person to avoid confronting their own behavior and guilt by seeing them as the thoughts and actions of someone else instead.
Are you really that stupid. Because it is not a chartered organization does not mean it is not an organization. When is the last time that capitalism or democracy violently rioted, looted, burnt buildings and attacked the police. You have to be stupid or a liar. You may as well say Green Peace is an idea not but not an organization.
Violent democratic groups: Democratic Revolutionary Front, Democratic Socialist Party, Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine. Are those all ideas too?
Violent Capitalist groups: Capitalist Revolutionary Movement, Anti-Capitalist Resistance, Capitalist Party Militias. Are they all ideas too?
“. . . criminalizing a noun . . .”
To complete a sentence, a noun needs a verb. It is Antifa’s verb (terrorist *action*) that is the crime.
Hey you leftists! Looks like you are being manipulated by none other than the oligarch George Soros! Tells us, how does it feel to be a useful idiot for a oligarch billionaire? How does it feel like to be a dupe?

Who do you think is Fox News’ largest shareholder? The entertainment company (not “news” as it has itself noted) is owned by the Murdoch Family Trust, a family of oligarch billionaires.
Bro, the whole world is financed by the uber wealthy. And your use of Fox News shows just as much manipulation.
AI Overview
While official estimates of wealth can vary, multiple sources published in 2025 identify Zhong Shanshan as the richest man in mainland China. His wealth comes from a diverse portfolio of businesses, primarily in the bottled water and pharmaceutical industries.
Who is Zhong Shanshan?
Source of wealth: He is the founder and chairman of the bottled water company Nongfu Spring and also holds a major stake in Beijing Wantai Biological Pharmacy, a company that produces vaccines and test kits.
Net worth: Estimates of his net worth differ between sources, but he has consistently ranked at the top of mainland Chinese wealth lists. For example:
Forbes estimated his wealth at $57.7 billion as of April 2025, placing him at #26 on its list of the world’s billionaires.
Beinsure reported a net worth of $77.5 billion as of September 2025.
Business style: Often called the “Lone Wolf,” Zhong Shanshan is known for his low-profile public persona and preference for focusing on business growth over publicity.
Previous occupation: Before his career as an entrepreneur, Zhong worked as a construction worker and journalist.
The CCP runs the government as the American Founders proposed it, but the CCP omitted the Constitution.
China is a rational, severely restricted-vote republic that does not adhere to the restrictions on government and individual freedoms in American fundamental law.
The problem is that the American government doesn’t adhere to the very same restrictions on government and individual freedoms in American fundamental law.
Murdoch doesn’t pay for RIOTS and UNREST unlike SOROS!!!
Show me a pay stub from Soros to a rioter.
It’s true that Murdoch doesn’t pay rioters. He gets suckers to pay him to feed their anger and so they go out and riot on their own dime. Trump does the same thing, as noted on Jan 6th, a cooperative venture between Murdoch whose Fox News repeated the lie that the 2020 election was “stolen” (where was it taken? did someone try to pawn it?) in concert with Trump who repeated that lie ad nauseam while selling merchandise, boner pills, and prepper meals and gold.
“Show me a pay stub from Soros to a rioter.”
Sealioning:
Sealioning is a form of adolescent trolling where someone persistently demands answers to insincere questions to provoke a response, often pretending to seek a civil debate while actually trying to exhaust or frustrate others with no intention of real discourse. This behavior is characterized by a facade of politeness and a refusal to acknowledge previous answers. Often used as a tactic by Democrats in online forums and podcasts
“Fox News repeated the lie that the 2020 election was “stolen”
Now show your bona fides by explaining the FOUR YEARS that CNN perpetrated the felonious Trump-Russia Dossier Lie.
Cool! Bro… you came here from CNN – owned by the entertainment company Warner Brothers! Warner Brothers, who because wealthy by making movies depicting fictional events. Purchasing CNN was simply a logical move on Warner Brothers, purchasing a smaller producer of fictional content.
And here you are, attempting to do the work of the uber communist oligarch billionaire – George Soros.
Good! Arrest as many of these little children as possible. They go home to mom and dad after they wreak havoc; this is not the 60s when people actually had something on the line; these are just privileged little sh**s with nothing better to do. Throw all of the books at them, and make it hurt.
They live in a nation where the rest of the world is dying to get in. There is even a literal lottery. Anyone born in the USA has won life’s biggest lottery.
They drive nice cars and are well fed. Yet they imagine that they suffer, which is why they want overthrow and communism. They don’t know what suffering is.
OldManFromKS,
That! Right there!
Yes! Their lives are oh, so miserable! Having a useless degree in DEI studies were they cannot get a job. Having to live at home with their parents who provide everything to include the latest iPhone, well into their latter 20s even 30s. Working as a barista, as their useless degrees in DEI cannot get them a job, anywhere, and the pink/blue/green hair and demands to use their pronouns does not get them past the first interview. Attention spans that of a goldfish in a small bowl, they cannot understand why when the do get a real job, they cannot hold it as they get fired a few short months later, due to incompetence, and having difficulty showing up on time or at all.
Yet, when those facts are pointed out, they get triggered and scream it is not their fault! It is capitalism fault! It is Trump’s fault! It is a right wing conspiracy that is keeping them down! So, they have to rise up and fight against . . . nothing.
Upstate – I remember watching a three-part PBS series on economics – free market versus centrally planned – called Commanding Heights. For a PBS documentary it was surprisingly well balanced and gave free markets a good name. The first two episodes even bordered on being capitalist apologia. The third episode, however, started to sink into leftist propaganda. I remember in one scene, a very well fed Canadian anarchist was driving to a protest in a fancy car, talking about how much he and his friends were suffering. Yes, he said “suffering.” PBS showed it with no hint of irony. I couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
“I remember in one scene, a very well fed Canadian anarchist…” …..

“Throw all of the books at them, and make it hurt.”
Nay, don’t throw the book at them and make it hurt. Give them the death penalty for their actions. That’s the only way to deal with members of a terrorist organization. Thank goodness President Trump signed an executive order lifting the moratorium. 😊
