A black Trump supporter was reportedly attacked and stabbed by a protester amid increasingly violent demonstrations in Portland that have rocked the Oregon city for weeks. Police have made an arrest in connection to the incident.

Drew Duncomb, a Trump supporter and anti-Antifa activist, said that he had been stabbed while walking around downtown Portland in the early hours of Saturday. In a brief video message that he made while being transported to the hospital in an ambulance, Duncomb claimed that he had been attacked by an "Antifa dude" who had been "following me around for a while."


In the clip, Duncomb appears disoriented and confused as he lies on a stretcher. He said that he didn't know how serious his injuries are.

In a press release, Portland Police said law enforcement responded to a report of a stabbing at around 2:30am. Officers were able to locate the victim, believed to be Doncomb, and transport him to the hospital. A video emerged which purportedly shows the suspect being arrested.

A man, believed to be Duncomb's attacker, was later charged with felony assault. His bail was set at $250,000.

Comment: In 1919 P.D. Ouspensky said that the Bolshevik revolution was not what it seemed: it was being led by the "criminal element" of society. The same thing is happening in the U.S.

Sainsbury's and Asda say it is not their responsibility to police customers

Major supermarkets and coffee chains say they will not enforce new rules which say customers should wear face coverings from Friday.

Sainsburys, Asda, Co-op and Costa Coffee are among retailers saying they have no intention of policing the laws, which carry a penalty of a £100 fine.

It comes after the Police Federation of England and Wales, which represents rank-and-file officers, said it was "unrealistic and unfair" to expect them to patrol the aisles looking for people breaking the coronavirus regulations.

The attack hit three outposts located in Quneitra around 11pm local time and left two people injured with "minor wounds," the Syrian Defense Ministry said.

Authorities on Thursday discovered the body of a white North Carolina professor who recently announced his retirement amid backlash over his comments on social media, in which called the state's governor "Massa Cooper" and compared coronavirus restrictions to living in a "slave state."

Lieutenant J.J. Brewer of the New Hanover County Sheriff's Office said deputies found the body of University of North Carolina-Wilmington professor Mike Adams, 55, while performing a wellness check at his home, according to The News & Observer of Raleigh.

Deputies were conducting a death investigation, but investigators did not release additional details about the circumstances of Adams' death.

Comment: Does the 'cancelling' of professors accused on tweeting 'wrong think' now include a death sentence?

Catholic magazine's comparison of George Floyd to JESUS sparks wave of mockery

An article likening the death of George Floyd under the knee of a Minneapolis cop to the death of Jesus Christ on the cross has gone viral for all the wrong reasons, eliciting a chorus of mockery - and outrage from Christians.

Floyd's death, which kicked off months of historic unrest across the US after the excruciating eight-minute video took social media by storm, was no mere lynching; it was a crucifixion, according to America Magazine, which styles itself as the "leading Catholic journal of opinion in the United States."

The outlet attempted to draw several parallels between Floyd's on-camera demise and the death of the best-known religious figure in the western world in an article published on Thursday. It opined that the ancient equivalent of police would have carried out Jesus' crucifixion, and noted that both men apparently suffered from thirst in the moments before death.

Comment: That's actually pretty close to the mark, in terms of symbolizing how most supporters of George Floyd/BLM feel about 'the cause'.

Here's Floyd recently 'elevated' in holographic form, and currently touring US cities as a kind of 'modern icon' for people to worship:

Then there's the whole act of submission via 'taking the knee'... What does it say in the Bible? "He is risen! He is Lord! Every knee shall bend..."

missing Mexican child
The search for a 2 1/2 year-old boy who was led away from a market in southern Mexico three weeks ago led police to a horrifying discovery: 23 abducted children being kept at a house and forced to sell trinkets in the street.

Prosecutors in Chiapas state said Tuesday that most of the children were between two and 15 years old, but three babies aged between 3 and 20 months were also found during a raid Monday at the house in the colonial city of San Cristobal de las Casas.

San Cristobal is a picturesque, heavily Indigenous city that is popular among tourists. It is not unusual to see children and adults hawking local crafts like carvings and embroidered cloth on its narrow cobblestone streets.

Peter Tatchell, born on the 25th of January 1952, is one of the most high-profile LGBT activists in the UK, and arguably one of the most high-profile LGBT activists in the world. He has worked primarily in Britain, although he himself is Australian by birth, but also in many other countries across the world.

He has been involved in LGBT advocacy in the UK since the earliest days, when being openly gay in the UK and advocating greater rights for homosexuals carried real physical risks to one's health. He has remained active in the LGBT movement as it has grown from a small number of tightly-knit groups into the broader, more popular, more professional movement that it is today.

Washington Post to pay Covington student Nick Sandmann after he wins $250 million defamation lawsuit

Nicholas Sandmann, one of the students from Covington High School who was vilified in January 2019 for innocently standing at the Lincoln Memorial with his student group while wearing a MAGA hat, won his defamation suit against the Washington Post today.

The Covington kids were called names and social media erupted with comments as to Sandmann's "punchable face." Criticism erupted over Sandmann's political expression, and the Washington Post assumed that the boys were racist and derogatory to the man Sandmann can be seen here talking to.

The terms of the settlement have yet to be disclosed. Sandmann was also involved in litigation against ABC News, CBS News, The New York Times, Gannett, & Rolling Stone. CNN recently settled a $275 million lawsuit with Sandmann.

In 2019, the CBC had to apologize for their broadcast of the fake news about the Covington kids. Sandmann filed lawsuits against multiple news outlets.

The story of the Covington kids highlights the mainstream media bias that has been directed against conservatives and Trump supporters since the heated 2016 election season.
