Watch: Secret Service Scolds Tom Arnold Like a Schoolboy After Trump Death Threats

One of the unfortunate byproducts of our nation’s current political divide is that extremists on both sides sometimes take the adversarial nature of the divide too seriously — particularly with regard to the opposition against President Donald Trump — and feel compelled to lash out against Trump, his family, his associates and his supporters with threats of death and violence.

Even more unfortunate is the fact that such threats of death and violence against the president — even when made in jest — must be checked out by the U.S. Secret Service to determine if the threats are serious or not, a rather tedious and time-consuming process that nevertheless must take place.

Comedic actor Tom Arnold recently received just such a visit from a pair of Secret Service agents after he had posted a couple of tweets on Oct. 19 that challenged Trump to a physical fight — one that would have a rather bloody conclusion — that some people perceived as a direct threat of violence against the president.

Following a rally in Montana during which Trump had jokingly referenced a 2017 incident in which Republican Rep. Greg Gianforte body-slammed a mouthy liberal reporter, Arnold angrily tweeted, “I say put up or shut up @realDonaldTrump Me vs You. For America. First body slam wins. Any Rally. Any Time. Between now and the midterms.”


That tweet was soon followed by another, since-deleted tweet which referenced leftist comedian Kathy Griffin’s Trump beheading photo-shoot and said, “Next time Kathy won’t be holding his fake head!” As it turned out, those tweets earned a visit from a pair of Secret Service agents to Arnold’s home on Oct. 25 for a meeting that was recorded on Arnold’s home security cameras. Leftist media outlet Mother Jones obtained that nearly hour-long video and have since posted small portions of it online.

It is worth noting that despite all of Arnold’s bravado and tough-guy persona — at least with regard to Trump — the actor was exceptionally courteous and respectful to...

Paul Rodriguez Explains How Trump Saved California Latino Farmers That Obama Shunned

Paul Rodriguez the Mexican-American comedian, told TMZ that he was the head of an organization called ‘California Latino Water Coalition.’

Their goal was a simple one, to get former President Obama to come to California to see how California Latino farmers were being hurt by the government shutting off the water pipes that they had used to irrigate their crops.

For eight long years, President Obama couldn’t have cared less about saving California Latino farmers, or about their problems.
But after Paul Rodriguez contacted President Trump, instead of ignoring the Latino families in California like his predecessor,
President Trump stepped in and saved the day by opening the water pipes so these California farmers could now have a chance to save their farms.

These type stories make it more infuriating to hear every Democrat and fake new media host’s like CNN’s Don Lemon calling President Trump a Racist!

Paul Rodriguez refuses to stay silent

Paul Rodriguez who’s known for his work on “A Cinderella Story” and “Rat Race,” told TMZ that he has received hateful messages and death threats from “cowards” who disagree with his views.

Rodriguez told TMZ:

“Everybody’s entitled to their own opinions, I’m not in the closet anymore. This is how I feel, this is who I am. And if you disagree, it doesn’t mean we can’t be friends,”

“I’ve received — some cowards have threatened my life [which is] laughable, but it’s sad that people think like that.”

Other celebrities and entertainers, including Kanye West, Roseanne Barr, Vince Vaughn, and Stacey Dash have also voiced similar complaints about being harassed by the oh, so, tolerant left for their...

NYT Editorial Board Compares Right-Wingers to Jihadists, Demands Censorship Of Social Media

The legacy media is furious they've lost control of the narrative and they're desperate to get it back by any means necessary. 

Nationalist and populist movements are sweeping the globe due to open communication on the internet allowing the masses and anti-establishment leaders to do an end-run around the lying media.

Though the media has seen a bump in their followers due to Trump's presidency as well as Google and Big Tech moving hard to censor their competition, they recognize the trend is still going against them so they're moving to shut it all down.

The way they intend to do it is simple: accuse everyone of being "racists," "sexists," "bigots," "white supremacists," "neo nazis" and so on and demand regulations for "hate speech."

Case in point: this piece released Saturday from the New York Times editorial board, where they push for hardcore, authoritarian censorship of the internet to stop the spread of "toxic ideas" and call for the US government and corporate America to team up to carry it out. They use fake stats from the ADL -- which they call "the most authoritative source" for documenting alleged hate incidents -- to make their case.

From New York Times, "The New Radicalization of the Internet," subheadline, "Jihadists and right-wing extremists use remarkably similar social media strategies":

Social media has played a key role in the recent rise of violent right-wing extremism in the United States, including three recent incidents -- one in which a man was accused of sending mail bombs to critics of the president, another in which a man shot dead two African-Americans in a Kroger's grocery store in Kentucky, and a third in which a man is accused of conducting a murderous rampage at a synagogue in Pittsburgh.

Each of these attacks falls under the definition of right-wing extremism by the Global Terrorism Database at the University of Maryland: "violence in support of the belief that personal and/or national way of life is under attack and is either already lost or that the threat is imminent." Antiglobalism, racial or ethnic supremacy, nationalism, suspicion of the federal government, obsessions over individual liberty -- these are all hallmarks of this network of ideologies, which is, of course, shot through with conspiracy theories.

Yet, even as the body count of this fanaticism grows, the nation still lacks a coherent strategy for countering the violent extremism made possible through the internet.

Apparently, there was no violent extremism before the internet! The internet is what "made" it "possible"!

Remember, these are the same people who after every Muslim terror attack say #NotAllMuslims and write articles about how Muslims are bracing for a "backlash."

Note too, they throw in "obsessions over individual liberty" -- aka people who will criticize this censorship push -- as a "hallmark" of terrorists.

Instead, the fundamental design of social media sometimes exacerbates the problem. It rewards loyalty to one's own group, providing a dopamine rush of engagement that fuels platforms like Facebook and YouTube, as well as more obscure sites like Gab or Voat. The algorithms that underpin these networks also promote engaging content, in a feedback loop that, link by link, guides new audiences to toxic ideas.

They're really, really angry that despite 42.4 million followers on Twitter and the algorithms being rigged in their favor most of their tweets only get a...
