The “New” Civil War may very well be upon us in this day and age, with the mainstream media stoking the fires. They know full well that this will be the goose that laid the golden egg for them during this death spiral of theirs, and they’ll do anything in their power to bring the ruckus to fruition.

Remember, the media needs conflict to create a compelling product. Without that product, they can’t attract advertisers to pay their salaries and overhead. By agitating the American populace, they are guaranteeing themselves a payday. It’s not unlike an inside trading fiend making mince meat out of your 401K in order to buy his mistress that Lexus she’s been hinting at for her birthday, at least insomuch as both actions are completely wrong.

Meanwhile, the good people of America want nothing but a little peace and prosperity. We’re trained to value the pursuit of happiness, and with Donald Trump sitting behind the desk in the Oval Office, we have the prosperity part down….Now if we could only get the radical left back in line, we might have some peace.

That is precisely why the liberal left is on the minds of Congress this week, as the “Unmasking ANTIFA Act of 2018” comes up for debate.

Top Republican lawmakers have unveiled the “Unmasking Antifa Act of 2018,” a major piece of legislation that would carry a potential 15-year prison sentence for anyone arrested for wearing a mask and engaging in violent behaviors. As noted by The Hill, this is a major piece of legislation that could force the domestic terrorist group to splinter.

The bill was introduced last month by Republican Reps. Dan Donovan, Pete King, Paul Gosar, and Ted Budd. Under this measure, anyone who participates in violent actions while masked as an Antifa terrorist will be thrown in prison for more than a decade. That is something many, many Americans agree with and support.

If signed into law, the bill states that anyone “wearing a mask” or disguise who “injures, oppresses, threatens, or intimidates any person … in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege” would be hit with a major fine or forced to serve 15 years in prison.

That’s huge.

The bill was made available online for the public to peruse:

The liberal left immediately went into meltdown mode on Twitter:

There's now an Unmasking Antifa Act, because chanting "Jews will not replace us" and waving Nazi flags was all OK, but being opposed to that is now punishable by possibly 15 years in prison. This government has some very… interesting priorities.

Well, Jake, maybe don’t riot in the streets every time someone says something that you don’t agree with, and you can go back to hiding your identity, okay?

The "Unmasking Antifa Act" is very concerning and reflects a willful misunderstanding of what "Antifa" is, but I have also been saying that the risks of fascism are not just in the streets.

Speaking of “willful misunderstandings”, Emily, have we got a piece for you.

This is extremely dangerous and could be easily misconstrued to target non-violent protesters! McCarthyism!

Well, Ms. Snowflake, even though you spelled it correctly, your Google search of “McCarthyism” someone still led you astray. Let me fix that for you.

Trump Weighs in on Cleveland Baseball Name Change…and It’s Not Pretty

The former President was NOT happy!

Donald Trump, like a great many conservatives around the nation, isn’t all that thrilled with the way in which our national culture is changing. Of course, this isn’t terribly surprising given that this is the nature of conserving, to allow things to remain the same or to work to bring the nation back to the way it was. So, almost predictably, Trump had plenty to say about the recent change announced by the Cleveland Indians baseball team. In a statement, Trump wrote that he is a “FORMER” baseball fan and said “a small group of people, with absolutely crazy ideas and policies, is forcing these changes to destroy our culture and heritage.” The name change came after years of protests from Native American groups and baseball fans. The former President had a far different opinion than many. Trump’s statement said he thought the name was an “honor.” However, the Lake Erie Native American Council released a statement supporting the team’s new name, WTOL reports. “We are pleased the Cleveland baseball team took a comprehensive approach to listen and learn and show it is possible to take steps toward change,” the statement read. The name change came just months after the Washington Redskins dropped their own mascot to temporarily become the “Washington Football Team”, just until a new moniker could be decided upon.

Tests Show QAnon Shaman is ‘Mentally Ill’, According to His Own Lawyer

But is this all just a part of a broader legal strategy?

From the moment that Jacob Chansley set foot on our television screens, we knew that we’d be talking about him for some time into the future. Chansley, known more commonly as the “QAnon Shaman”, was the iconic character who participated in the January 6th insurrection shirtless, with his face painted, and wearing a large fur headdress adorned with bison horns. Now, as Chansley faces charges in the storming of the Capitol, his lawyers are trying a rather tricky defense: They’re claiming that the Shaman doesn’t possess full control over his faculties. In an interview, defense lawyer Albert Watkins said that officials at the federal Bureau of Prisons, or BOP, have diagnosed his client Jacob Chansley with transient schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression and anxiety. The BOP’s findings, which have not yet been made public, suggest Chansley’s mental condition deteriorated due to the stress of being held in solitary confinement at a jail in Alexandria, Virginia, Watkins said. “As he spent more time in solitary confinement … the decline in his acuity was noticeable, even to an untrained eye,” Watkins said in an interview on Thursday. But is this all just legal maneuvering? Watkins said authorities will need to determine how Chansley can get access to the treatment he needs to “actively participate in his own defense.” Pleading guilty to a charge negates the need for a trial, but defendants still have to be declared mentally competent to do so. Watkins said the BOP’s evaluation of his client did not declare Chansley to be mentally incompetent, and he does not expect Chansley to be ordered to undergo what is known as competency restoration treatment. Watkins turned heads early on in his role at attorney for the Shaman, after making derogatory remarks about his own client’s mental health, using phrases that are deemed unprintable…
