When people tried to sell us on the idea that the radical left would quit rioting once Joe Biden was president, I just had to chuckle. I knew that what they were saying simply was not true. But I figured that the radical left would at least give Biden a few days before they started rioting, looting and burning things again. Sadly, I was wrong. Just hours after Joe Biden was sworn in, radical leftists in Portland and Seattle started going completely nuts. The footage that you are about to see is extremely shocking, but so far the corporate media is mostly avoiding this story because it does not fit any of the narratives that they are currently trying to push. Of course if it was Trump supporters rioting it would be the biggest news story in the entire nation right now.
Apparently, Antifa activists in Portland are not too thrilled that Biden is president, because the primary target of their violence on Wednesday was the Democratic Party of Oregon headquarters.
The corporate media was so quick to use the term “domestic terrorists” when it was Trump supporters that were going crazy.
Will the corporate media dare to use the same term for these nutjobs?
You can watch footage of Antifa radicals smashing the windows of the Democratic Party of Oregon headquarters right here.
Didn’t they realize that it was Inauguration Day?
Perhaps they should have actually given Biden a chance to do something that they don’t like before they started smashing things up.
Here is more footage of the damage that was caused.
In an attempt to stop the mayhem, the impotent police in Portland immediately posted a message on Twitter warning that the rioters could potentially face “arrest or citation”…
To those gathered near the Democratic Party of Oregon Portland Headquarters: Members of this group have been observed damaging the building. Anyone who is involved in criminal behavior including: vandalism and graffittiing is subject to arrest or citation.
Oh no, not a citation!
Surprisingly, that tweet did not end the violence.
Not satisfied with that, the Antifa rioters also decided to vandalize an Amazon Go store in the downtown area.
Many in the corporate media are envisioning that the primary threat of violence will come from Trump supporters now that Biden is president.
But that is not even close to the truth.
Over the past year, it has been the radical left that has been endlessly rioting, looting and setting buildings on fire. They have relentlessly assaulted police stations, courthouses and other federal buildings, and not once has the corporate media ever referred to them as “domestic terrorists”.
You would think that the fact that Biden has replaced Trump in the White House would make the radical left happy for a few days, but it appears that nothing will ever make them happy for very long.
As I have warned over and over again, the radical left wants to dismantle the entire system and bring about a full-blown revolution in this country.
Now that Trump is out of office, all of this political violence is Biden’s problem now.
Will he have the guts to stand up to the radical left?
We shall see what happens.
The worse economic conditions in this country become, the worse the rioting is going to get, and the radical left is making it clear that Biden is not going to get any sort of a “honeymoon” period.

Update (2021ET): While the mainstream media and the federal government drummed up imminent threats of right-wing violence during the presidential inauguration at state capitol buildings, nothing happened that was significant in reporting.
Meanwhile, after the Biden inauguration, leftist groups, such as Antifa, are causing chaos in multiple cities.

A group of violent demonstrators gathered in Southeast Portland on Wednesday afternoon, hours after President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris were sworn in at the US Capitol. The leftist anti-government group appeared displeased with the new administration as they attacked the building of the Democratic Party of Oregon.
Local news KGW reports the group of at least 100 people, dressed in all black, marched through Portland.
KGW's Mike Benner posted a series of tweets showing the chaos unfolding in Portland as there was "significant damage at the Democratic Party of Oregon bldg at 9th & Everett."
Videos Benners posted shows group members, dressed in all black, are likely radical leftist, Antifa.
Despite President Biden pleading for national unity in his Inaugural Address today, demonstrators in Portland held up signs that read:
"We are ungovernable" and "A new world from the ashes."
Conservative journalist Andy Ngo tweeted "shocking footage of Antifa" smashing the Democratic Party of Oregon building. So much for unity...
Another local news station, KATU, said the protest in Portland this afternoon is called the "J20 protest."
"We Don't Want Biden - We Want Revenge!" another banner read.
Already, there have been reports that some of the demonstrators have attacked police officers.
"The group of roughly 100 people started marching north shortly after 3 p.m. and reached the Democratic Party of Oregon's Portland headquarters shortly before 4 p.m.," said KATU.
"Members of this group have been observed damaging the building. Anyone involved in criminal behavior, including vandalism and graffittiing is subject to arrest or citation," Portland Police Bureau tweeted.
More demonstrations are planned for this evening, according to police.
Besides Portland, so-called Antifa mobs were seen burning American flags outside Colorado's Capitol building. The Sun describes the group as a "militant left-wing-group."
Reports keep pouring in as Antifa groups assemble in other cities. Twitter user Jason Whitman said an Antifa march was spotted at the Ohio Capitol building this afternoon.
With reports of leftist anti-government groups, or possibly Antifa as some claim, are on a path of destruction in multiple cities following the Biden inauguration. There are reports Antifa is planning to attack Trump supporters this week.
The militant leftist group seeks to dismantle the federal government; it comes at the president calls for national unity.
While Silicon Valley tech giants spent the last two weeks purging President Trump and tens of thousands of his followers over 'dangerous conspiracy theories' and 'inciting violence' during the so-called "Capitol insurrection" on January 6, Twitter, Facebook and YouTube have yet to remove a video by far-left Russiagate conspiracy theorist Dan Winslow which is the definition of incitement.
"They are hidden among us, disguised behind regular jobs," Winslow warns. "They are your children’s teachers. They work at supermarkets, malls, doctor’s offices, and many are police officers and soldiers."
The video, which has over 4 million Twitter views in two days, calls for "an army of citizen detectives" to identify Trump supporters - who he calls Trump's 'army of domestic terrorists,' - who should be reported to authorities
The video, which one would think clearly violates Silicon Valley's arbitrary rules against incitement and hate speech, continues to be viewable on Twitter, Facebook and YouTube. Would big tech allow a conservative video claiming Biden voters are left-wing terrorists who need to be watched to remain on their platforms?
Winslow's video appears to be designed to stoke maximum division between Americans (which, as we were told for four years during 'Russiagate' and have known for decades, is straight out of the Kremlin's playbook).
“On or before January 20th, Donald Trump will no longer be the Commander-in-Chief: he will lose control of the Army, Navy, Airforce, Marines, Special Forces and America’s nuclear arsenal,” Winslow’s voice begins ominously. “On January 20th Donald Trump will become Commander-in-Chief of a different army: this army.”
Viewers are then shown footage from Trump rallies while being told that they are looking at “radical extreme conservatives, also known as domestic terrorists”.
“They are hidden among us, disguised behind regular jobs,” Winslow warns.
“They are your children’s teachers. They work at supermarkets, malls, doctor’s offices, and many are police officers and soldiers.”
Winslow talks about white supremacists and the Capitol riot, warning that Trump will continue escalating violence and fomenting a civil war in America.
“We have to fight back,” Winslow declares.
“In this new war, the battlefield has changes. Computers can be more valuable than guns. And this is what we need now more than ever: an army of citizen detectives. I’m proposing we form a citizen army. Our weapons will be computers and cellphones. We, who are monitoring extremists on the internet and reporting our findings to authorities. Remember, before the Navy Seals killed Osama Bin Laden, he had to be found. He was found by a CIA analyst working on a computer thousands of miles away. It’s up to you.”

In addition to the usual suspects on the left using Winslow's video to incite a new witch hunt, the Biden Administration is now focusing on 'Domestic Terrorism' as a key priority. And as Johnstone also notes, and which is worth repeating, these people are batshit crazy.
Johnstone continues:
This is as insane and scary as I have ever seen these people get, and I was in the thick of peak Russiagate hysteria. An aggressively manufactured push to get an army of citizens spying on each other calls to mind the Stasi informants of East Germany, the patriotism-fueled digital “digging” of the QAnon psyop, and the NatSec LARPing of Louise Mensch Twitter, all rolled into one great big ball of crazy.
This comes out as we are being bombarded with mass media punditry from literal CIA veterans like Sue Gordon and Elissa Slotkin forcefully hammering home the message that domestic terror is the new frontier for combating violent extremism, meaning of course that new Patriot Act-like solutions will be needed. Winslow himself spent six years traveling and doing research for a novel about a former CIA operative, and if some government agency didn’t recruit him during that period they clearly should have.
This will get frightening if it keeps up. Just as a relatively low-profile lefty blogger I routinely get liberals online falsely claiming I’m a Russian agent and saying they’ll report me to the FBI, and that’s without an aggressive campaign urging them to join a powerful digital army. The fact that Winslow stays very vague about what he means by “Trump’s new army” and constantly conflates rank-and-file Trump supporters with white supremacist terrorists means people are effectively being pointed at all Trump supporters, especially when normal Trump rallies are what he points to in the video. If this takes off it can very quickly lead to a volunteer army of power-worshipping snitches against literally anyone who is critical of US foreign policy or the Democratic Party, whether they actually support Trump or not.
One person was shot and killed late Saturday in Portland, Oregon, as a large caravan of President Donald Trump supporters and Black Lives Matter protesters clashed in the streets, police said.
It wasn’t clear if the shooting was linked to fights that broke out as a caravan of about 600 vehicles was confronted by counter-demonstrators in the city’s downtown.
Police said the caravan had left the area around 8:30 p.m., and officers heard gunshots at about 8:46 p.m., according to a statement. Officers arrived at the shooting scene “within a minute,” police said, but the man who was shot did not survive.
An Associated Press freelance photographer heard three gunshots and then observed police medics working on the body of the victim, who appeared to be a white man. The freelancer said the man was wearing a hat bearing the insignia of Patriot Prayer, a right-wing group whose members have frequently clashed with protesters in Portland in the past.
Police said the man was shot in the chest. He was not immediately identified. It’s unclear who shot him.

UPDATE 9:23 AM EDT --
VIDEO OF THE ACTUAL MURDER! (FIXED)
Shouts: "Hey, Hey, we got one right here. A Trumper."
"Right here?"
<GUNSHOTS> BANG BANG
So there you have it. They killed the man BECAUSE he was a Trump Supporter.
This now appears to be an actual Civil War.

If you want the other side, that is openly supporting insurrection, then by all means read the Guardian.
Portland mayor Ted Wheeler on Sunday slammed Donald Trump, accusing the president of encouraging the kind of violence that erupted in the city overnight when a reported member of a right-wing group was shot dead after a group of Trump supporters confronted Black Lives Matter protesters.
“What America needs is for you to be stopped,” Wheeler said of Trump, after the president tore into Wheeler on Twitter in the hours after the death and retweeted video footage of his supporters in trucks firing paintballs and pepper spray at protesters downtown.
It wasn’t clear if the shooting was linked to fights that broke out as some from the procession of about 600 vehicles, many flying large “Trump 2020” flags, revved and honked their way through narrow downtown streets, seeming to taunt protesters in the cityon Saturday night. Some of the demonstrators threw objects in response, especially after paintballs were fired towards the sidewalks.
Later, an Associated Press freelance photographer heard three gunshots and then observed police medics working on the body of the victim, who appeared to be a white man.
Portland police officers “responded and located a victim with a gunshot wound to the chest. Medical responded and determined that the victim was deceased,” the department stated.
According to police, the shooting happened at 8.46pm local time on Saturday. A video that appears to have captured the incident, taken from the other side of the street, shows a man wearing shorts approaching a car parking garage. Shots ring out and the man falls to the ground.
