Only in the land of “tolerance” would a Trump supporter be assaulted with a can “full of bong water.”
Vlogger Ben Bergquam and a number of Trump supporters took to a street corner in Temecula, California on Saturday to wave American flags and rally for the President.
As Bergquam was speaking into his camera, he was hit in the back of the head with an object.
“We drive all around town with these flags,” one of the Trump supporters said. “We get a lot of positive feedback.”
“You know it’s funny, people think of California as all crazy liberals that have lost their minds—” Bergquam was adding just as he got hit.
“Well, there’s one of them right there!” he exclaimed, bouncing back from the head shot.
“So a guy just threw a soda can at me and hit me in the back of the head,” Bergquam continued line an intrepid reporter.
He then walked back to the evidence laying on the sidewalk.
“This is the left there, guys, perfect example of the left, right there, full soda can,” he continued as the camera showed the crushed can on the cement.
“That’s not soda,” a woman said in the background.
“No, it’s like bong water,”Bergquam responded as he smelled the liquid.
“This is how pathetic these guys are, guys. So this guy just came by, had this bong water in his car…” Bergquam said as someone added, “Threw it at kids.”
“This is the kind of disrespect we have in our country,” Bergquam said. “You know what thought? It doesn’t stop us.
“It only gives us courage to keep going.”
Bergquam said he was keeping the cherry 7UP can to remind himself how “pathetic” the left is.
“A perfect illustration: an empty can full of bong water,” he said.
‘The president uses language often that’s very similar to the language used by these bigots and racists. And if he’s not going to call it out then other leaders have to do more to call it out and I certainly will,” Sen. Tim Kaine (D- Va.)said on CBS’s “Face the Nation” Sunday morning.
“Well they have problems but- I think the president is using language that emboldens them. He’s not creating them. They’re out there. But you know at the same time as he was tweeting out yesterday his support for the family members in New Zealand, and that was appropriate, he was vetoing the Senate’s rejection of his emergency declaration from Thursday. And he used the word invaders to characterize people coming to the nation’s southern borders which was exactly the same phrase that the shooter in New Zealand used to characterize the Muslims that he was attacking. That kind of language from the person who probably has the loudest microphone on the planet Earth is hurtful and dangerous and it tends to incite violence,” Kaine continued.
Perhaps the Democratic Party of Virginia should get its own house in order before levying accusations of “racism” against Trump. The state’s third most senior politician, Attorney Mark Herring, also a Democrat, admitted to wearing blackface in college too.
This is proof positive that Democrats do not actually care about racism. They care about weaponizing race to use it as a political tool against Republicans, which is neither moral nor virtuous.
The hypocrisy of CNN chief Jeff Zucker being bestowed with a trophy for ‘protecting’free speech after his network aggressively lobbied for the deplatforming of Alex Jones and Infowars was not lost on Fox News host Tucker Carlson.
Carlson blasted the spectacle of Zucker’s prizewinning at the Radio Television Digital News Foundation’s First Amendment Awards ceremony in Washington, D.C.
“Whatever you think of Jeff Zucker, he is not encumbered by shame,” Carlson said. “Keep in mind that it was his network, CNN, that argued in public that Fox News should not be allowed to ask any questions of the candidates in the Democratic primary debates — that just happened.”
“It was also CNN that demanded radio show host Alex Jones be silenced because Jeff Zucker didn’t like what he was saying.”
“CNN waged a long campaign against Jones; it worked. Jeff Zucker silenced and deplatformed his show,” Carlson continued. “It was a stunning defeat for free speech. So naturally, Jeff Zucker just won the First Amendment award.”
Deadline Hollywood described the awards dinner as a “Trump-trashing” bonanza, with mainstream media operatives accusing President Trump of endangering the lives of the press.
Zucker said the President’s administration “quite literally… put our lives at risk with their words and their actions,” and also, “does not tolerate a free and independent press.”
CNN contributor Carl Bernstein introduced Zucker, saying, “We’re here tonight at a deadly serious moment even as we celebrate.”
“I don’t know of a moment that’s more perilous for the country, for reporting, for the truth and for the First Amendment.”
Interestingly, Fox News anchor Shep Smith, who is regarded by many as one of the most left-leaning personalities on the network, was also granted an award, while Carlson’s show was reportedly not even nominated.
Smith was congratulated by Zucker, who said he “greatly” admires the Fox host.
Former 2016 presidential hopeful and Florida governor Jeb Bush called for a Republican to challenge President Donald Trump’s 2020 re-election bid, for the good of conservatives and for the country.
During an appearance on the podcast “The Axe Files,” hosted by CNN senior political commentator and former Barack Obama presidential campaign chief strategist David Axelrod, Bush said Republicans “ought to be a given a choice” in 2020.
“I think someone should run. Just because Republicans ought to be given a choice,”Bush told Axelrod, according to CNN.
Trump has a “has a strong, loyal base and it’s hard to beat a sitting president,” he noted. “But to have a conversation about what it is to be a conservative I think is important.”
“And our country needs to have competing ideologies that people — that are dynamic, that focus on the world we’re in and the world we’re moving towards rather than revert back to a nostalgic time,” Bush added.
As noted by CNN, Axelrod brought up a 2020 Republican challenger to Trump in the context of Bush’s own support of Governor Larry Hogan (R-MD). The Republican’s January inauguration speech sparked reports of Hogan throwing his hat in the ring come 2020 campaign time.
Hogan is “at the top of a list of leaders that I admire today because what’s happening here in Annapolis is the antithesis of what’s happening in Washington, DC, these days,” Bush said of Hogan.
“I didn’t realize I was part of his pre-campaign,” explained the former 2016 candidate. “I kind of got a sense that maybe this was an opening, at least, for (Hogan) to consider (a presidential run).”
Hogan told CNN that he has spoken to people about potentially running in 2020. “People are talking to me about it,” he said. “I’m flattered people are saying that and including me in those discussions. My focus, my plan right now is to stay here for four years and do the best job I can in Maryland, but I’ve said, ‘You never say never.’ Who knows what’s going to happen.”
Tensions between Bush and Trump often boiled during the battle for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination.
Trump famously branded Bush as “low energy” and mocked him for getting his “mommy” involved in the race; Bush denounced Trump as an unserious bully, among other jabs between the two.
In January 2016, for example, Trump mocked Bush for having his mother Barbara Bush appear in a campaign ad for him. “Just watched Jeb’s ad where he desperately needed mommy to help him. Jeb — mom can’t help you with ISIS, the Chinese or with Putin,” Trump posted to Twitter.
Trump also tied the “low energy” descriptor to Bush as often as possible, such as this tweet from March, 2016: “Low energy Jeb Bush just endorsed a man he truly hates, Lyin’ Ted Cruz. Honestly, I can’t blame Jeb in that I drove him into oblivion!”
Bush said Trump was a “candidate of chaos,” a “bully,” and “not a serious candidate” during a 2015 CNN appearance.
Bush’s appearance on “The Axe Files” is set to air on Saturday.
There are some strange anomalies which are causing many people on social media to question the official narrative on the mass shooting in Christchurch, New Zealand.
Tarrant said in his manifesto that he was “travelling as a tourist in Western Europe at the time, France, Spain Portugal and others.”
Though his manifesto was filled with white nationalist rhetoric, it came out this afternoon he made a trip to Pakistan of all places in October 2018.
This image highlighting the strangeness of the decision has gone viral on social media:
The Osho Thang hotel which he stayed at shared this message he wrote on their Facebook page on Oct 23, 2018:
Hello everyone my name is Brenton Tarrant and I am visitong pakistan for the first time. Pakistan is an incredible place filled with the most earnest, kind hearted and hospitable people in the world, and the beauty of hunza and nagar valley in autumn cannot be beat.
Unfortunately many tourists are choosing other countries due to the stress, difficulty and steep requirements of obtainung a Pakistani visa.
Hopefully in the near future the Pakistani government and Mr Imran Khan will make the necessary changes to the visa program so to encourage tourism and make it viable once more for the world to come and experience the beauty of Pakistan.
The owner of the hotel where he stayed said the trip was all hunky dory.
Asghar Khan, the manager of operations at the Serena Hotel there, said the man seemed like a “nature-loving” traveler. Syed Israr Hussain, owner of the nearby Osho Thang hotel, said he stayed there for two or three days with a group of backpackers.
“He was normal and polite during his stay,” Mr. Hussain said. “There was nothing out of the ordinary.”
Something about this story does seem out of the ordinary.
Evidently, there was a “Mossad spy ring unearthed” because of an earthquake in Christchurch back in 2011, as The Telegraph reported at the time:
The operation was interrupted when a van used by a spy cell was crushed by masonry falling from a damaged building, killing one man, it is claimed.
Benyamin Mizrahi, 23, the Israeli man who died in the damaged van, was found to have five passports on his person, the Southland Times newspaper reported.
Three surviving Israelis who were in the van with Mr Mizrahi fled New Zealand within 12 hours, making their way back to Israel.
They reportedly paused only to take photographs of the crushed van and return the dead man’s Israeli passport to officials from their embassy.
The Southland Times also said the police national computer was being audited because of concerns it had been hacked into.
There were fears that other Israeli operatives, in the city after the February 22 quake which killed 181 people, could have embedded malicious software to access intelligence information.
To be clear: I’m not saying these two events are related. All I’m saying is there may be more to this story than we’re being told.
Regardless of the specifics of the attack, we have seen the media and political class respond by blaming the attack on PewDiePie, Candace Owens, Donald Trump, the NRA, the Chans, Free Speech and white people as a whole with endless calls for normal people to have their rights and freedoms taken away as a form of collective punishment.
We also know many of the same elites exploiting this attack for political gain and being extra vocal about how outraged they are supported all the US-led wars in the Middle East based on lies over the past two decades which led to the death of hundreds of thousands or even millions of Muslims (and they sure as hell didn’t shed a tear for them).
The shooter was captured alive, so it’s possible all will be made clear in the coming days — or years.
That said, I don’t know how the justice system works in New Zealand. In America, such shooters are usually drugged out of their minds in our prison system and are pretty much never heard from again.
The state attorney’s office announced Thursday a Martin County bus aide will not face charges after she was caught on camera grabbing a student’s “Make America Great Again” hat.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) used the news of the terror attack at two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, on Friday by attacking the National Rifle Association (NRA).
The attack, which occurred during Friday prayers, has killed 49 people as of this writing, and wounded dozens of others.
In two tweets, Ocasio-Cortez mocked the idea of sending “thoughts and prayers” to the victims of the shootings. After significant pushback, clarified that the target of her criticism was the NRA.
“At 1st I thought of saying, ‘Imagine being told your house of faith isn’t safe anymore.’,” she tweeted.
“But I couldn’t say ‘imagine.’ Because of Charleston. Pittsburgh. Sutherland Springs.
“What good are your thoughts & prayers when they don’t even keep the pews safe?” she concluded.

Advocates of gun control on the left have begun to mass shooting events by disdaining the expression “thoughts and prayers,” treating it as an excuse for legislative inaction rather than as a genuine expression of sympathy and anguish.
Left-wing critics have also taken to using the phrase “thoughts and prayers” as a way to mock the NRA even outside the context of a shooting event. Last year, for example, liberal celebrities wished“thoughts and prayers” to the NRA after reports that it was having financial trouble.
In that vein, Ocasio-Cortez added a subsequent tweet to clarify her meaning in the original one:
The NRA had not (and, as of the writing, still has not) reacted to the Christchurch attacks. There is also no evidence that it invented the phrase “thoughts and prayers.”
Moreover, New Zealand already has gun control measures similar to those Democrats want to pass into law in the United States, including the universal background check bill that the Democrat-controlled U.S. House of Representatives passed last month.
The NRA has argued that a better way to stop mass shootings would be to encourage responsible gun ownership and make armed guards available to vulnerable targets like schools.
Early reports from Christchurch indicated that an armed Muslim man helped chase away assailants from the second mosque that was attacked.
Ocasio-Cortez also retweeted an attack blaming President Donald Trump for inspiring the New Zealand terrorists.
