Conservatives have underestimated the left’s bloodlust. A Rutgers study found 56 percent of left-wing respondents said killing Trump would be justified. This isn’t fringe anymore. It’s mainstream.
What awful people they are. Thank God we have you with your resolute pursuit of all these stories you uncover. Your courage is remarkable. Thank you for persisting in this, Mr. Ngo.
Our fears are becoming more real as this evil permeates our society. The left revels in it, bathes in it and sleeps with it, all the while blaming the right for destroying democracy.
Your exposing of it helps us have belief in a future.
I think these militants are vastly underestimating what's going to happen when conservatives "transition" from merely annoyed to feeling angry and threatened; which is right about now. Also when the feds start going through BlueSky and Discord and bringing cases for inciting violence, there won't be much #resistance for long, I predict. So far, these people haven't faced any real opposition, but they're about to...
I honestly wouldn't be surprised if the next morphing of these people is an alliance with IS type groups. They're all coming from that "death is the answer" nihilist place
The elevation of transgenders to "hero" status by the Democrats was enormously important in deciding the last election. In a longer discussion, it would be helpful if there were estimates as to the percentage of the costs of gender transition therapy born either by the taxpayers or by group insurers as required by state laws. The "genocide" claimed by trans is based on them believing they have a right for someone else to pay for their transition else they will commit suicide. The "genocide" they claim are actually suicides by them, anything but a "both sides do it" situation (note: I'm excluding gender dysphoria here)
There is no claim by "the trans", because people who are trans are not a monolith. I am trans. I don't believe that transition stuff should be paid for by insurance or tax payers. It should be considered "cosmetic", just like most boob jobs. Unless it is for someone who is actually ,like intersex. If someone is biologically "normal", transition stuff should not be covered. People should not conceive "trans" people like a collective. They should be treated like people with red hair.
And I certainly don't believe there is any genocide of trans people in the u.s.. But I do believe there is a genocide in Gaza and Myanmar.
It would be nice if trans activists were interested in what people like economist Deirdre (formerly Donald) McCloskey had to say. She transitioned in 1995, when it was a radical act--and was ostracized by her own family.
But we all know why they're not interested in people like her, any more than teachers' unions are interested in what's best for good teachers and their students, or police unions are interested in what's best for good cops and public safety.
As far as a genocide in Gaza, there might be some caveats that are not widely reported: Hamas designed their tunnels and command cells inside civilian infrastructure, and they don't wear uniforms except when they hold hostage release press conferences (also the only time the Red Cross bothers to show up). Egypt built a border with Gaza that looks like the Berlin Wall, and they fortified it after October 7. Why so afraid of their cousins? Egypt has an intimidating border wall with Israel as well, but Israel built it. Why didn't Egypt feel the need to build their own defenses against Israeli encroachment? And why doesn't neighboring Jordan take any Palestinian refugees? Could it be that they still remember Black September? And why does Israel arrange aid supplies for the people they're supposedly genociding?
Maybe if Hamas thought about returning the hostages that instigated this genocide, it would be a useful test of Israel's intentions. Couldn't hurt, right? They're going to lose anyway, might as well try to mitigate the damage. I can't find any other historical case of genocide in which the victims held enemy civilian hostages and refused to release them. If you can find one, send it my way.
Also, if you look at the behavior of Islamists versus Zionists in countries where they are minorities, that offers a clue as to who is telling the truth. And where Islamists are the majority, I think the record is unequivocal. Israel, the "apartheid" society, is the ONLY rainbow culture in the middle east, and the ONLY place where Queers For Palestine can visit without being murdered. Funny, innit?
If you want my in depth take on Judaism, Zionism, Israel, Palestine, and the U.S. I encourage you to read my short book about it. It pretty much addresses everything you mention. But if you read it and think i should address something I missed, feel free to message me.
But yes, I think Hamas should surrender to international courts and return hostages. I think Hamas is providing false pretext for the genocide Israel is carrying out and already has carried out. More than 80% of Israelis think that there are no uninvolved citizens in Gaza, political leaders use genocidal rhetoric, an intentional starvation campaign was launched from the beginning, famine has been reported by the IPC, soldiers are on camera dancing about killing the seed of amalek and singing about there being no uninvolved civilians, and soldiers are on camera bragging about how many innocent civilians they sniper. Furthermore Hamas was consciously cultivated by Israel because Israel doesn't want a two state solution it wants all of Palestine. It's a genocide.
Benjamin Netanyahu is on camera saying he undermined the Oslo accords and that America is easy to manipulate. Israel is not "telling the truth". It doesn't matter if " islamists" are also not telling the truth. The U.S. should not be supporting Jewish Supremacists or Islamic Supremacists in their religious quests to conquer Palestine.
OK, I read a good chunk of your post, but not all of it. I share your distrust of Netanyahu, but when it comes to Israel and October 7, I am 100% with Israel, and 0% sympathetic to Palestinians--as is the Arab League, judging by their actions if not their words. Why won't they accept refugees from Gaza again? Journalists still haven't gotten around to asking this question.
I also don't entirely trust Trump, although I voted for him. And America has a lot to answer for as far as poor diplomacy and subversion of democratic processes in many countries [such as the CIA support of the Taliban, and so many things Henry Kissinger did]. However...I still support America over our enemies, and Judeo-Christian societies over Islamic societies.
When it comes to the Enlightenment values that all liberal-minded people say they care about, there is simply no question about who is upholding those values, despite the fact that we don't often get the leaders we like. Remember the Mi Lai Massacre in Vietnam? That was a war crime done by an American platoon, which many of America's critics used to demonize our entire military ethos. But the massacre was stopped by a different crew of US forces, who saw it happening from a heli and landed immediately. They ordered Lt. Calley's men to surrender at gunpoint, and arrested them all. So which behavior is more representative of American cultural values?
What the "civilians" of Gaza did on October 7 is quite the opposite. I don't care if anyone agrees with my opinion; it's on video. Just as the atrocities of Hamas terrorists, who are as sadistic as Mexican drug cartels. They filmed their own crimes against humanity, because they thought they were going to win; and for a long time, they seemed to be winning the media war. But now they're suffering a terrible reversal of fortune, as are Hezbollah, Iran, Houthis, and all who attempted to destroy Israel. Even Qatar had to accept an Israeli military incursion, because they tried to play both sides without any military power of their own. Hopefully now they'll be forced to pay for protection, instead of buying influence in our politics.
I don't really care what happens to Palestinians, just as all the Palestinian sympathizers don't care AT ALL what jihadists do to Jews, Christians, and Druze in Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, and Africa. Remember how many civilians were killed in WWII before the Germans and Japanese were willing to admit the error of their ways. And the starvation campaign is a myth, but I don't expect you to believe that. It'll come out in the wash eventually.
The good news for you, if you're trans, is that the global intifada is going to fail, so you won't have to worry about sharia law in the western world. The jihadis in the UK are about to find out that the dominant culture is asserting itself, and they're going to be pushed out. Muslims like to boast about being a quarter of the world's population; but the other 3/4 oppose their barbaric ideology, and that's more than enough. And as Israel has been proving over and over since 1948, even a tiny population of smart tacticians can defeat armies of orcs--because that's what they are. These are men who believe CULTURALLY that it's okay to throw acid in a woman's face for breaking up with them. And too many Muslim women defend this behavior. For people who act like that, there is no future in this world.
Oh, and who's perpetrating all the rapes, child molestation, and knife crime in Europe, Australia, and Canada again? Which ethnic groups are they? Not Zionists, right? Not Japanese tourists? [Hint: It might actually be the people those paranoid Islamophobes say they're afraid of.]
OK, I'll read your post tonight. I saw that video of Netanyahu recently, and I have a different interpretation of what he was saying. But I do know he was funding Hamas in their early days, and the IDF's complete lack of readiness on October 7 is beyond suspicious. Also Netanyahu has had some issues with Qatari influence in his own cabinet--but I'd expect that would make him more favorably disposed to Palestine. I'll reply after I read your piece.
I think we should be focusing on leftist terrorism. Anarchists have been around for a while now, and as far as I can tell, started becoming "trans" more recently, since it became trendy among far leftists.
You don't get to set the rules of discourse. Trans are self-revealed by self-mutilation to be profoundly mentally ill. Trans are overwhelmingly deranged, assaulting everything decent in society, serving the anti-family, anti-faith interests of the globalist controllers.
Huh? The rules of discourse? What are those? You mean you are going to be a bigot regardless of what I say? Sure. Yah I can't set *your* rules of discourse. That is your choice. And other people must choose whether they will share your rules.
Good points! I have seen reports of how much the hospitals are making, but haven't seen an account of how much of taxpayers' money is supporting "gender" medicalization. I would like to be able to tell people about it.
I live in Portland and have been tracking the Oregon legislation on so-called "gender affirmative care." I also have seen data showing OHSU and even Legacy Good Samaritan hospitals being deeply involved in providing "gender" surgeries. Do you know if anyone has attempted to get information on how much of state funds have been used to pay for medical transitions?
The push for trans in the military was/is based solely on the medical costs of transition being born by the taxpayers, and for life. The scambook includes claiming a disability because someone once said something mean. A lifetime of never working a single day while living very well. There are message boards all over Reddit full of these.
Are you saying that people joined the military for the purpose of getting free transitions, or that the DOD/DOW pushed for free transitions after people who wanted them had already entered the military?
I have heard that some people are claiming a service-connected disability because of harassment related to their "gender incongruence." I don't know of cases in which claims like that were approved as disabilities, but can easily imagine how that could happen. It depends in part on the "gender ideology" of the claims reviewers in the Veterans Administration.
They leave a trail of misery and ugly, just like they left on Graffiti Bridge. They wallow in their festering hate and want to destroy any happiness and beauty. People have tried to understand how so many people participated in the Holocaust, Rwanda, the Killing Fields, etc. We are seeing in real time how there's a part of the human population that lies in wait for an opportunity to kill and maim, and make it mainstream. They go by names such as the SS, the Red Guard, the Klan. The democrats Trantifa army is the new KKK, threatening and carrying out violence against those who defy them. We are not the first to have to face this miasma that rears up throughout history. Fight, fight, fight!
I completely agree! There is a part of the population that is prone to terrorism and a much larger part that consists of wannabes, people who are prone to join violent mobs when the spirit moves them. The latter group are cowards who are having a field day on social media, where there have been no consequences for their verbal aggression.
The amount of hate displayed by the action above targeting the mural epitomizes what the Left stands for. That ideology always, ALWAYS, leads to violence and murder.
Charlie's message was one of hope for young people, the very young people that are being brainwashed by the same old Marxist tactics. Sow hate, sow envy, sow fear, so division.
"Trantifa", is that what they call themselves or is that just a slur?
And while that study has some value, it's missing something very important : some kind of control variable. Meaning it's asking people on the "right" and "left" whether it would be justified to kill two people who are right now commonly identified as being part of the "right." Of course we wouldn't expect that the "right" would find assassinating Trump as justified. But what if the same survey was given for someone like I dunno... soros, bill gates, or Nancy Pelosi. What would have the results been with biden? I think the data is valuable but without more data it's incomplete. Is such data already out there? It's possible that a lot of of people feel that assassination is justifiable for certain political actors across the political landscape, and there is nothing exceptional about the "left." But the impression that your article gives is that the "left" is exceptional, and I'd argue with insufficient data to back that up.
The FIRE organization released polling one day prior to the assassination of Charlie Kirk that shows how many college students endorse statements that violence is at least sometimes justified against people who disagree with them, but the poll does not identify specific people. I have seen other polls that ask similar questions of the population more generally, but don't have the references.
The FIRE poll was specific but most of them are not with respect to the circumstances in which people would support violent action against other Americans. Our national tradition has always been that people in democracies have a right to overthrow governments that are anti-democratic, either our own or others. All of the Democrats I know are talking about violence being an option to unseat Trump, who they see as "literally Hitler." These Democrats are not young radicals, they are old ones who should know better but are indoctrinated by their media to be terrified all the time about various catastrophes on the horizon.
Yes, there is an intrinsic tension between the tradition of free speech and the tradition of legitimate violent revolution against tyranny. The challenge is accurately identifying tyranny.
I agree. Also, it is impossible to identify tyranny or for that matter, any event affecting our nation, when the information we receive often consists of lies, propaganda, or simply falsehoods that are too easy to re-post with a push of one button.
What awful people they are. Thank God we have you with your resolute pursuit of all these stories you uncover. Your courage is remarkable. Thank you for persisting in this, Mr. Ngo.

Yes, and it was not especially subtle- the political debate over trans service almost always touches on this issue.

Thank you Andy for your courageous efforts in exposing the undeniable truth. Safety and protection for you and your staff always!
Andy, I have followed you ever since I heard about you when I joined X a year or so ago. You are one BRAVE PERSON!!
I hope Trump and company listen to you before Portland and Seattle become worse than the slums of a third world country!
