A slew of federal investigations and arrests had caused the Boogaloos to lower their profile, VICE News reports, but the anti-government extremist movement never went away. Now, “the Boogaloo Bois appear to be regrouping, plotting their public comeback to coincide with what many fear could be a tense, even violent, presidential election season.”

And Facebook seems to be playing a critical role in their resurgence.

Right Wing Watch notes Scarborough is “a self-described ‘Christocrat,’ strident anti-LGBTQ activist, and longtime critic of public education.” Last month, he spoke of his desire to impose his extremist agenda on school boards and America, as a whole: “I mean, why not take it over for Jesus?” he said.

But that’s not all. After claiming, “We’re grooming our children for pedophiles” because 68% of Texas teachers “now believe that the LGBTQ agenda should be taught and embraced,” Scarborough declared that he wants to dedicate the rest of his life to banning books. That is, if he can get enough people to give him money:

SCARBOROUGH: Now, let me tell you what I’m gonna spend the rest of my life doing. And by God’s grace, if I can raise the budget and get people behind me, in four years, I want to expunge this entire state of every immoral book in the library. Call me a Nazi, call me a book burner, I’ve been called worse.

As a former librarian, I can assure you that it doesn’t take money to challenge books in a library, it just takes time and effort. But I won’t be divulging what I know about how it’s done. Besides, I’ll bet knowledge is not what Scarborough is really after.

On Friday, Fox News contributor Tulsi Gabbard evoked Martin Luther King’s name while claiming Present Biden is basing his hiring practices on eugenics, just like Hitler.

This is one of the most heinous appearances ever seen on television by a former member of the Democratic Party. (Gabbard must have thought she was on Tucker’s show.)

Fox News host Jesse Watters is upset that Pres. Biden’s cabinet has some diversity within it, which in his mind means the only qualification for a job is the color of your skin.

Watters long opening rant in of itself was horrifically racist and despicable when he claimed Biden’s cabinet didn’t look enough like himself.

“They are proud to be judging people, hiring people, electing people based on race,” Gabbard said.

“It’s based on genetics, race, based on your blood, your genes and where do we see that connection,” she asked. “Well, these are the very same geneticist core principles embodied by Nazi-ism and Adolf Hitler.”

Gabbard has no idea what she’s talking about since Nazism was partially based on eugenics, but that’s beside the point.

It’s like Goebbels claiming Jews are the real Nazis.

We know all about the Russian plot to interfere in the 2016 elections, and at the same time to funnel millions of dollars to Donald Trump.

But the Russian scheme to pick our political leaders went much, much deeper than Trump, according to Dr. Ruth May. A Professor of Global Business at the University of Dallas and an expert on Russia, her expertise includes the reversal of market-based institutions in Russia under Vladimir Putin, and exposing Russia’s attack on our American democracy in the 2016 presidential election.

She explains how Vladimir Putin‘s right hand men arranged to have a river of dirty money flow into the pockets of top Republican senators, a certain infamous new member of Congress and other shady connections.

These are names you’ve definitely heard. But you may not have heard about their corruption at the hands of Russia, because the media can’t be bothered. Watch the video to see what Dr. May revealed about these GOP Senators. It’ll shock you, as will the media’s indifference to (or complicity in) burying this. They should be hitting these facts at every opportunity.

A powerful, coast-to-coast storm threatens heavy snow and high winds today, putting parts of more than two dozen states under winter weather alerts as travel conditions began to deteriorate in some areas. Via CNN:

More than 65 million people across 29 states from as far west as California to Minnesota through Maine are under winter weather alerts that warn of severe icing, extreme cold and sleet that are likely to make travel miserable Wednesday and knock out power to some.

The Upper Midwest is expected to bear the brunt of the storm in terms of snowfall totals, with Minnesota’s Minneapolis area likely getting more than 20 inches Wednesday and more than 2 feet total over the multi-day storm – potentially the most in 30 years.

The “historic” three-day storm “will bring widespread accumulating snow, with blowing and drifting snow mainly Wednesday through Thursday,” the National Weather Service in the Twin Cities said.

Democratic candidate Richard Ringer, who is running for a statehouse seat in the 51st District of Pennsylvania, reported to the police that he was knocked unconscious and left bloodied by an attacker in his backyard.

Ringer is a 69-year-old man running against Republican Charity Graham Krupa for the seat.

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports ““He was larger than I am and he pinned me down on my left side. … He hit me 10 to 12 times in the head, in the face and by the eye and he knocked me out.”

Ringer believes the attack is due to political violence and threats against his person. Already there has been two cases of vandalism that have happened in the last couple of weeks

One, a threatening apparently election-related message spray-painted on his garage door and the other a brick thrown through a storm door window. The spray-painted message was partially washed off by the rain by the time Mr. Ringer saw it, but what was left clearly visible were the words “your race” and “dead.”

A pattern is emerging.

A pattern of violence is emerging against Democratic politicians and their families.

We will be documenting all of them.

Steve Bannon told an audience of Catholics that Christian nationalism can destroy the Democratic party as a political institution.

Taking a pager out of Adolf Hitler’s repertoire, Bannon did not hide his contempt for US Democracy and any opposing views.

“You know what their greatest fear is? What they refer to as Christian nationalism,” Bannon said.

(That’s exactly what Bannon supports and what the MAGA cult thrives on.)

“Did you see June 2020, when they burned down Chicago, Seattle, burned down Portland, burned down NY. Did you see that?” he asked.

This is in reference to the Black Lives Matters protests of 2020 in the aftermath of the police killing George Floyd. Their anger had nothing to do with politics, MAGA, or Mao.

“Are there any federal charges on that?” Bannon asked.

Right-wing grievances is at the heart of their extreme religious movement.

Also, BLM did not attack the US Capitol, so no.

“Let’s make sure we understand exactly what we’re fighting,” he said.

“These are more radical atheists than Mao Tse-tung, and the more radical atheists in the French revolution,” Bannon whined.

Discussing the midterms, he let the venom fly.

Donald Trump’s recent open embrace of the QAnon conspiracy cult that deifies him has predictably metastasized into full-on identification. This became clear at his Sept. 17 rally in Youngstown, Ohio, where QAnon fans in the audience raised their fingers in a coded salute while Q-derived theme music played over the loudspeakers. Over the past couple of weeks on his Truth Social chat platform, he has repeatedly posted and reposted Q-derived memes and hashtags, including ominous suggestions of future Jan. 6-style insurrectionist violence.

Just as predictably, those hordes of QAnon cultists have been rapturous over what is now his open public embrace and how it normalizes them. After Trump posted an ominous Q meme—one reading, “Nothing can stop what is coming. Nothing”—a popular Q account reposted it, saying: “It doesn’t get more Q affirming than that. It’s almost like he’s trying to tell us something. Boom!”

We’ve written extensively about the political shenanigans of Ginni Thomas and hubby Clarence Thomas’ refusal to recuse himself from cases she involves herself in and financially benefits from. But the financial secrecy is at least as concerning as her politicking. Politico noted that Justice Clarence Thomas “has chosen not to reveal any of his wife’s clients, let alone how much they contributed to the Thomas family coffers, dating back to when her consulting business was founded.”

Less obvious but just as important are the careers of Chief Justice John Roberts’ wife, Jane Roberts, and Jesse Barrett, husband of Justice Amy Coney Barrett.

Politico reported that Jane Roberts is a legal head-hunter at a firm representing “high-powered attorneys in their efforts to secure positions in wealthy firms,” meaning that her placements earn fat fees for her firm and, presumably herself.

A new Reuters/Ipsos poll found majority of Americans believe Trump and his MAGA cult are a threat to US democracy.

“Fifty-eight percent of respondents in the two-day poll – including one in four Republicans – said Trump’s “Make America Great Again” movement is threatening America’s democratic foundations.

This is encouraging news. Right-wing media (and many of the “mainstream” Beltway media) are so obsessed with every move Trump and his supporters make.

President Biden’s speech warning against the extremist MAGA wackos, as well as the Select Committee investigating the January 6 insurrection, are having an impact on the country.

In the face of anti-democratic forces, being silent is not an option.
