But I thought everyone would calm down when the federal agents left the federal courthouse in Portland! The latest riot in Portland proves it has everything to do with mayhem and nothing about black lives, systematic racism, or police brutality. Rioters attacked the Multnomah Building, which has offices for the local sheriff, but mostly "houses offices for county departments that provide social services that have no connection to the police."

What with the conspiracy theories about how President Trump is allegedly using the USPS to steal the election reaching peak stupid on social media, in newsrooms, and in the murky fever swamps of MSNBC and CNN, one Oregon Democrat hatched a plan Tuesday to out-virtue signal all other Democrats about how he was willing to take drastic measures in order to protect the postal service.

These aren't protesters, they're a violent mob. In Portland, the Black Lives Matters mob caused a truck to crash. The driver was drug out of the car, beaten unconscious while his wife was attacked, punched, and tackled to the ground. The mob called the driver the N-word, while beating him. According to recent reports, the driver remains unconscious.

Every time I hear "progressive" these days, I kind of laugh a little inside.  Is there anything less progressive than a backwards-looking ideology that embraces the worst of the twentieth century? Today's "progressives" love the 1930s and the 1960s best of all, but any dated, last century communist revolutionary antic is apparently on the table.

The silence from Democrats over the left-wing violence unfolding in American cities like Portland is deafening. To make matters worse, when they do finally speak up, their words are an insult to our intelligence. Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY), who pushed the Russia hoax for three years, was recently asked about Antifa violence in Portland, and said with a straight face that it's a "myth."
