New in PJ Media:
Mike Kennedy is a state senator in Utah. He is the sponsor of Utah’s SB 16, which “prohibits performing sex characteristic surgical procedures on a minor for the purpose of effectuating a sex change.” The bill passed, and was signed into law by Utah Governor Spencer Cox in January. On Friday, Kennedy posted on Facebook a photo of his home, where someone had taken red paint and scrawled in huge letters on his garage doors: “Fash” and “These Trannies Bash Back.” Welcome to Joe Biden’s America, where violent Leftists are emboldened.
“Fash,” of course, is short for “fascist.” A few years ago, Leftists on college campuses would call for patriotic speakers to be brutalized by saying “Bash the fash.” The ones who chanted this, and who painted “Fash” on Kennedy’s garage door, are actually the real fascists. They are an exact parallel to the fascists of the twentieth century. In the early days of National Socialist Germany, Hitler’s Brownshirts, according to historian Richard Evans, “organized campaigns against unwanted professors in the local newspapers [and] staged mass disruptions of their lectures.” The fascists met opposing viewpoints not with superior arguments, but with their fists and billy clubs; express dissent from National Socialist positions became a matter of taking one’s life into one’s hands.
In a similar way today, Leftists such as those who vandalized Kennedy’s home are growing more aggressive. Leftism has always been a totalitarian impulse, extraordinarily hostile to dissent; every far-Left regime that has even been established, going back to the French Revolution, has initiated a bloody reign of terror to destroy its opposition. We have never yet experienced this phenomenon in the United States, but as the Left grows more secure in the assumption that it now has control of most of the major centers of power across the country, and so will suffer no consequences for moving to destroy its opponents, we are seeing an increase in Leftist terror.
This is happening while the Leftists who hold power have repeatedly assured us that the real terror threat comes from the Right, not the Left. Old Joe Biden, his Gestapo chief Merrick Garland, and the FBI have told us so, and worked hard to create the illusion that there really was some large-scale terror threat from conservatives. In November 2021, FBI and Homeland Security Department officials increased investigations of “domestic extremists,” reiterating the claim that they are today’s foremost terror threat. By “domestic extremists,” they meant “MAGA Republicans,” not Antifa or Black Lives Matter. The only problem with this was that there weren’t even close to enough “domestic violent extremists” to match the hysterical rhetoric, and so the FBI actually resorted to pressuring agents to inflate domestic extremism numbers, and even to fabricate such cases.
There is more. Read the rest here.

Bash them back.

“Gestapo Chief Merrick Garland” – You nailed it with that title. How sad that the DOJ has become weaponized like this… when AntiFa (The Communist deliberately deceptively named enforcers since 1930’s) is your “partner” in actual fascism, you have a problem.
Kesselman says
History: The Italian Fascism and the German Nat’n Socialism were socialist ideologies underlining the nation while Soviet communism favored the international. Thus, today there exists confusion about left and right and fascism and communism. Socialists have for a long time made the distinction that socialism is the opposite of fascism. No way! In reality, the two totalitarian ideologies are on the same fascist continuum with left fascism aka International socialism on the left side, and nationalist socialism on the right.—Outside of that continuum are all the non-totalitarian political parties forming today’s liberal democracy.
Summary: Today’s woke, Antifa, BLM, etc. are per definition, fascists, left-wing fascists!

You are absolutely correct. Few people read the history of Soviet Russia in which the atrocities
committed were, while not the same, were at least as terrible as those under rthe Nazis and mainly carried out on the Russian people themselves, whose only crime was to be deemd an enemy of communism Since the fall of the USSR much more has come to light. I recommend ‘A people’s tragedy’ by Orlando Figes to anyone who wishes to read about it all.
Kesselman says
Thanks for the memory, Bill.
Kuffar says
Where are the police to arrest these criminals? Oh yes. They are protected and have “rights”. Next time they’ll show up with fire bombs.

While I don’t care if you as a born male want to dress and act like a female, I do think that any medical procedures or drugs should be only administered once the person is of legal age.
