Portland, Ore. - Weeks of effort by activists to get University of Toronto psychology professor Jordan Peterson booted from his Portland tour stop ultimately failed as he delivered an uninterrupted speech to a packed-house on Monday at the Keller Auditorium in downtown.

Before the event, around 50 protesters gathered across the street to shout at Mr. Peterson's fans waiting in line. "Say it once, say it again, no excuse for violent men," they chanted. Many held signs condemning his views on gender pronouns and women. One sign declared, "As many genders as we want." Another read, "Infinite genders."

Several people have been reportedly shot dead by a gunman at the offices of Capital Gazette, a newspaper in the Maryland capital of Annapolis. The shooter is reportedly in police custody.

There are multiple reports from local media that "at least four people" have been shot. There is a massive police presence on Bestgate Road in Annapolis, an office park across the street from the Annapolis Mall.

"A single shooter shot multiple people at my office, some of whom are dead," Gazette's crime report reporter Phil Davis said on Twitter, while waiting to be interviewed by police. "There is nothing more terrifying than hearing multiple people get shot while you're under your desk and then hear the gunman reload."

Appalling: Air Force lets colonel walk free despite testimony and graphic evidence of child rape

In an appalling move that has shocked many, the United States Air Force has declined to charge a senior military colonel and doctor who was accused of brutally raping and physically abusing two young boys, despite overwhelming evidence against him.

Air Force Col. Eric Holt, 48, was accused of sexually assaulting a young child in 2016 while he was working as an anesthesiologist at the Uniformed Services University of Health Sciences. According to documents from the case, reported by USA Today, an elementary-school-aged boy told his mother and two other witnesses that Holt raped him, and he had physical injuries from the abuse.

"In October 2016, allegations of sexual abuse arose after one of the boys returned from a visit with Holt. The boy awoke the night of Oct. 13 having soiled himself, according to the June 14 memo to Maj. Gen. James Jacobson, the officer deciding whether Holt would be charged.

As his mother cleaned him up, the boy told her that Holt 'pulls on his penis and puts his fingers in his bottom.' Crying, he told two other women in the home the same story. A photo of his bruised penis and a statement from one of the women were left out of the investigative report by the Air Force, according to the memo."

A second young boy testified that he had been raped and assaulted by Holt, and he also showed signs of trauma with bruises, cuts and a black eye. Lawyers for the two boys argued that there was clearly "sufficient factual basis" to charge Holt for the abuse, given the presence of both photographic evidence and "expert testimony supporting the veracity of their allegations."

The smoldering left loses its cool

'When you're violent and cursing and screaming and blocking me from walking into a movie, there's something wrong,' said one top GOP official.

Two senior Trump administration officials were heckled at restaurants. A third was denied service. Florida GOP Attorney General Pam Bondi required a police escort away from a movie about Mister Rogers after activists yelled at her in Tampa - where two other Republican lawmakers say they were also politically harassed last week, one of them with her kids in tow.

In the Donald Trump era, the left is as aggressively confrontational as at any time in recent memory.

What it means for 2018 - whether it portends a blue wave of populist revolt for Democrats or a red wall of silent majority resistance from Republicans - largely depends on one's political persuasion. But there's a bipartisan sense that this election season marks another inflection point in the collapse of civil political discourse.

Lady Caroline Cox, a member of the British House of Lords, and an Anglican priest, Rev. Andrew Ashdown, have embarked on a journey to Syria, where they surveyed the conditions in Aleppo, Homs, and Latakia to prepare a report on the conditions on the ground in the country, and what the sentiment is regarding Western intervention. Vesti Russian news briefly covers the subject, and speaks with both Lady Cox and Rev. Ashdown in the following video clip and transcript below:

Comment: A welcomed validation for the Syrian people and honest representation of their points of view. Lady Cox has, over her lifetime, advocated for people all over the world suffering injustice, persecution and oppression. She is known as 'A Voice for the Voiceless'.

Poll says 31% of Americans believe civil war likely in next 5 years

According to Rasmussen poll taken between June 21 and 24, thirty-one percent (31%) of likely American voters say that it is likely that the United States will suffer a second civil war sometime within the next five years. Eleven percent (11%) believe this war is very likely.

Most voters fear that political violence is coming from opponents of the president's policies, just as they did in the second year of Barack Obama's presidency, and nearly one-in-three think a civil war is next.

Thirty-one percent (31%) of Likely U.S. Voters say it's likely that the United States will experience a second civil war sometime in the next five years, with 11% who say it's Very Likely. A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 59% consider a second civil war unlikely, but that includes only 29% who say it's Not At All Likely.

The questions were worded in this way:

1* How concerned are you that those opposed to President Trump's policies will resort to violence?

2* How concerned are you that those critical of the media's coverage of President Trump will resort to violence?

3* How likely is that the United States will experience a second civil war sometime in the next five years?

Comment: As with the accuracy and viability of any poll numbers sample, the devil is in the interpretation of the questions and the experience/bias of the responders. Interesting is the general (and growing) distrust of political news and the downtrending perception of HRC.

Hypocrites: UK army gets social media psych-ops tips from Daily Beast editor

RT

Just imagine - an RT journalist, who authored a book on psychological warfare on social media and has instructed a foreign army unit on how conduct operations on Facebook. Relax and change "RT" for "Daily Beast," false alarm.

When it comes to exposing all-pervasive 'Russian propaganda', be it in the form of the notorious 'troll factory' or throwing accusations at this very TV channel, few Western outlets are as prolific as The Daily Beast. After all, the 'Buff Bernie' meme and RT's coverage of anti-fracking protest are the reasons why the US has a president separating immigrant children at the border, or so the Russiagate pundits say.

One can only wonder what would happen if an RT contributor went on record to say he had given instruction to an army unit of a close Russia ally on how to better conduct psychological warfare on social media. Expressions like "attack on our freedom" and "Facebook Pearl Harbor" would likely fly around in the Western media.

Comment: The West has been at the forefront of using social media to meddle in the affairs of other countries as well as within their own to smear those they deem a threat:

'The Left Unhinged': The RNC releases disturbingly accurate picture of the radical left

The Republican National Committee is going after Democratic politicians and liberal celebrities in a new ad dubbing the left as "unhinged."

The ad, released Tuesday, splices together sound bites from Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.), as well as several celebrities, to cast the modern Democratic Party as radical and - at times - violent.

"A few years ago, ideas that we talked about were thought to be fringe ideas, radical ideas and extremist ideas," Sanders can be heard saying in the ad, as images of burning cars and graffiti promoting revolution appear on the screen. "Those ideas are now mainstream."

Among the celebrities featured in the video: comedian Kathy Griffin, talk show hosts Bill Maher and Samantha Bee, actor Johnny Depp and singer Madonna.

Comment: The American left really needs to get a hold of the radical positions being made 'acceptable to the mainstream'. Both the left and right have appropriate places in society when they are appropriately balanced. However, the regressive progressives have indeed become incredibly unhinged and if left to their own devices will create even more destruction than they could hope for.

George Soros is now investing in ambulance-chaser lawsuits

Jake Gyllenhaal stars as a psychopathic ambulance-chasing photographer who rises to success by willing to do anything to capture his next gory shot. Not so different from George Soros himself.

Billionaire investor George Soros is now investing in America's controversial personal-injury lawsuits market, Bloomberg reports.

Soros Fund Management has begun offering investment portfolios out of lawsuits. The billionaire's hedge fund is bankrolling a company called Mighty Group, which gives cash advances to plaintiffs in return for future settlements.

Mighty Group gives $2,000 on average for legal claims typically tied to car and construction accidents, in exchange for a cut from a settlement. Such advances are typically used to cover rent or medical treatment.

New figures show annual public cost of funding royal family jumps 13%

The annual cost of the Queen is now 69p per person, as figures show that royal spending rose 13 percent in 2017/2018. Taxpayers' funding has also increased by 40 percent for Prince William, Harry and Kate.

New data from the royal accounts reveal that the public funds used by the Queen for official spending and royal duties jumped from £41.9 million ($54.8 million) to £47.4 million ($62 million) last year.

The main reason for the 13-percent increase in costs borne by the taxpayer is understood to be the refurbishment of Buckingham Palace. Over £4 million ($5.2 million) was spent on the initial phase of improvements at the palace, which included the removal of old wiring.

The Queen's official pay-packet is derived from public funds in exchange for revenue from the Crown Estate. The "core" of the sovereign grant is usually based on 15 percent of the net surplus of the Crown Estate, but this year the grant is based on 25 percent of the surplus in order to meet the costs of refurbishing the palace.

Comment: So while the homeless in the UK struggle to survive on a daily basis, the Queen and her family live lavishly on the penny of the British taxpayer. Something is wrong with this picture.
