There are many ways to demonstrate that the “Patriot Front” is likely a FBI front group to fill the left’s in general and this administration in particular demand for White Supremacists’ that the American people simply aren’t providing, but to me the easiest way is to look at the men in this video:
BREAKING: Patriot Front is marching in downtown Nashville.

It’s been suggested that the masks are the giveaway not only because of the precedent from the left but it might be too easy to play “spot the fed” if the weren’t on but for me the real give away are the waistlines.
Take a good look at that video and ask yourself this question:
In a population that is overweight what are the odds of having that many white men marching through Nashville and not a single one having a beer belly?
Nobody overweight, nobody unfit not a single one whose waistline would be in the median of American life.
Does the Patriot Front have deal with Planet Fitness for discounted membership for all who join? Do they have a deal with a diet company for free consultation for members. Is there a BMI requirement in their bylaws.
Or is it more likely that these guys are feds who are subject to the fitness requirements of federal agents who don’t spend all their time behind desks or perhaps with a few paid actors mixed in who see this as just another gig and are doubly happy to give the left a hand?
I’m sorry you have to be really stupid to fall for this if you’re the media, but on the bright side the media is insisting that they are easily fooled so perhaps that’s why they play along.
But don’t insult my intelligence by asking me to do so.
“Christmas means carnage.” Ferdinand the duck, in the movie Babe.
“It’s assassination day…” is what a Chicago woman, Edith Pinkerton, according to ABC Chicago said of July 4, although Pinkerton may have been speaking of the next day, July 5, when her 74-year-old friend was wounded.
As of this writing, late Sunday afternoon on July 7, this Independence Day weekend has been quite bloody in Chicago. So far, according to the Chicago Sun-Times, over the long July 4th weekend, 17 people have been killed and at least 82 others have been wounded. Four mass shootings have so far occurred.
Back to July 5. According to Hey Jackass.com, last Friday, when 45 people were shot, that day was “the 3rd highest, single day total found in our dataset since 2013.”
July 5th's 45 shot is the 3rd highest, single day total found in our dataset since 2013. 5/31/20 – 51 8/5/18 – 49 7/5/24 – 45 6/22/20 – 44 6/27/21 – 40 8/8/21 – 40 6/17/24 – 40#Chicago#ChicagoScanner
Last year, a majority of Chicago’s severely misguided voters had a choice between Paul Vallas, a moderate law-and-order Democrat, and Brandon Johnson, a onetime supporter of the Defund the Police movement, who was pushed over the top by the far-left Chicago Teachers Union.
Johnson, closely followed by Chicago’s two major daily newspapers, the Sun-Times and the Tribune, as well as Crain’s Chicago Business, has been the chief minimizer of street mayhem in Chicago.
While he was still mayor-elect, when asked about a downtown flash mob riot, Johnson said it was important not to “demonize” the thugs. A couple of days later when asked about what Chicago’s listless media calls “unrest,” Johnson offered more sanitization of widespread lawlessness, “They’re young. Sometimes they make silly decisions.”
A central part of the mayor’s approach to crimefighting for this summer was to hire “violence interrupters.” During the mayoral campaign, Johnson suggested sending social workers to domestic incidents, instead of Chicago police officers.
To be fair, had Vallas prevailed, Chicago would still be a mess. She’ll be out of office in five months, but the policies of Kim Foxx, Cook County’s Soros-funded prosecutor, continue to wreak havoc. And as I’ve noted in prior DTG posts, this summer is the first one since Illinois’ SAFE-T Act, which abolishes cash bail, became law.
Two months ago, the mayor’s choice as Chicago police superintendant, Larry Snelling, said the city is short 2,000 cops.
Johnson, to placate his leftist base, wants to cancel the city’s contract with ShotSpotter, a gunshot detection system, but not until after next month’s Democratic National Convention.
Chicago has almost three years to suffer under Brandon Johnson.
Rather than address the Chicago’s crime crisis, Johnson’s prefers to deflect. At the Juneteenth flag raising ceremony, Johnson called for reparations for Black people.
Speaking from the realm of common sense, Corey Brooks, Chicago’s legendary “Rooftop Pastor,” threw a bucket of cold water at that demand.
Where are the reparations for the city’s failure to produce adequate protection for its residents? Where are the reparations for the city’s failure to provide adequate schooling to inspire kids toward the American Dream instead of nihilistic violence? And where are the reparations for the city’s woke legal system that puts the interest of violent criminals above the interests of the city’s hardworking citizens?
For now, look for more Chicagoans to say, “It’s assassination day.”
UPDATE July 8, 7:15pm EDT:
The official July 4 weekend Chicago Police Department figures are in, and they’re brutal. There were 109 people wounded by gunfire during the long Independence Day weekend, 19 of them fatally.
At a press conference this morning not only did Mayor Johnson not take responsibility for the widespread bloodshed, but he blamed Republicans, including President Richard Nixon, who left office 50 years ago this summer. Chicago hasn’t had a GOP mayor since Big Bill Thompson–a crook by the away–who was voted out in 1931. While we’re at it, Democrats hold supermajorities–thanks to gerrymandering–in the state General Assembly, and Illinois hasn’t had a Republican governor since 2003, when another crook, George H. Ryan, retired. Of Chicago’s 50 alderpersons, none are Republican, although four or five have some conservative leanings.
There are a lot of reasons why the war in Ukraine continues on. The Russian “official” Casus Belli was to protect ethnic Russians in the area. While that concern has some legitimacy to it that’s the thing about creating an empire of unwilling states, when your people move there and said empire breaks up as empires do the folks who moved there they tend to be disliked by the natives.
#unexpectedly of course
The actual Casus Belli had two additional components that were likely much bigger drivers.
The desire to re-establish the old Russian control of Ukraine which predates communism by a century or more.
Biden telegraphing to Putin that if he went into Donbas it was OK (People tend to forget that 2nd part)
Putin being Putin seeing that Biden was Biden then decided to go all in rather than just settling for Donbas and Biden being Biden (or whoever was actually running the country) swiftly offered Zelensky free passage out of Ukraine before it fell. Zelensky showing that he’s more than just another corrupt kleptocratic answered in words that Ukrainians will never forget:
“The fight is here; I need ammunition, not a ride,”
There is not a lot to admire about Zelensky but with that answer he likely saved not only his country but likely Moldovia too. The aid came and the Russians were stopped and Kiev held.
In the western part of the country Russia had much more success and Ukrainian attempts to drive them out have met with failure. Russia can’t go beyond Donbas without a major escalation and for all the weapons granted them by NATO allies Ukraine can’t drive them out.
This leads to stalemate and Attrition.
Russia having been invaded twice in the last two centuries by the single most powerful military in the world at the time (Napoleon 1812, Hitler 1941) is now VERY worried about NATO being right on their border (the Finish borders is not suitable for an invasion of Russia). To a westerner the idea of NATO invading Russia might seem insane but Russia fought a war with Poland in the 1920’s and didn’t do all that well and given the failures of the Russian war machine exposed by this war that fear along with saving face is high on the Putin agenda.
Meanwhile Ukraine isn’t all that anxious to give up a chunk of their country even one with a huge Russian ethnic population, they fear that peace might give time for Russia to reset rearm and have another go, plus frankly Zelensky and his pals have been making out like the bandits they are from the grift that comes from western aid. His decision to stay and oppose Russia may have paid off for Ukraine as a nation but it’s paid off big time for him personally. If the war ends so does the gravy train.
In the end however the Ukrainians can’t win a war of attrition and the longer it goes on the better the chance Russia might actually have a 2nd go at Kiev or that NATO & or US troops end up being thrown in the fray.
In short the war is now pretty much become a body and money pit, and unless it ends the potential for someone to do something stupid to generate a wider war or a bigger crises keeps increasing.
So how do yo solve the problem of Russia not wanting to lose face and Ukraine wanting to drive them out?
The problem is in fact simple: SELL RUSSIA THE DONBAS REGION!
The Price can be set very high high enough to mask what will in effect be reparations for the invasion. The folks concerned about the cut off of their graft have little need to worry as the rebuilding costs will be considerable with a lot of money to be skimmed off the top from the coming western aid. Meanwhile both Ukrainian and Russian conscripts who are dying by the ton can get out of this alive and rebuild their lives while Drone technology can give early warning if Russia starts to prepare for a second Round OR if Ukraine decides to try to take the sold region back.
This is the best and simplest way to end the war. Won’t please everyone but the alternative is that this war eventually ends will Russia troops in Kiev or NATO troops in Moscow and the price of either of those options is too terrible to contemplate.
