HONG KONG (PNN) - August 18, 2019 - A sea of democracy activists flooded the streets of Hong Kong Sunday during torrential rain in a peaceful show to city leaders that their movement still pulls wide public support, despite mounting violence and increasingly stark warnings from Beijing.

Hundreds of thousands of protesters carrying umbrellas poured across the heart of Hong Kong island defying the downpour and a terrorist pig thug cop order not to march from a park where they had gathered earlier for a rally.

PORTLAND, Oregon (PNN) - August 18, 2019 - Terrorist pig thug cops arrested at least 13 people and seized metal poles, bear spray, and other weapons Saturday as hundreds of far-right protesters and anti-fascist counter-demonstrators swarmed downtown Portland, Oregon.

Authorities closed bridges and streets to try to keep the rival groups apart. They were largely successful.

“This was a dynamic event with demonstrators frequently moving from one part of the city to another,” Mayor Ted Wheeler said at an evening news conference.

WASHINGTON (PNN) - August 7, 2019 - It appears that President Donald Trump is getting ready to bring down the hammer on the big social media companies. The Trump regime is reportedly in the process of drafting an executive order that will tackle Silicon Valley’s alleged anti-conservative bias. It is very much in Trump’s own self-interest to do this. Social media played a key role in helping him win in 2016, but since that time we have seen an unprecedented wave of censorship on the major social media platforms, and most of that censorship has been directed at conservative voices. If Trump doesn’t do something, it is hard to see how he will win in 2020.

August 5, 2019 - Do Leftists believe gun bans will make guns evaporate?

Approximately 5 to 10 million AR-15 style rifles exist in Amerika, according to the National Shooting Sports Foundation. If we were to ban these guns outright tomorrow, would they just vanish into thin air? That is what gun law advocates seem to be suggesting by their rhetoric. Whenever we hear reports of a shooting tragedy, the TV, newspapers, and social media PR campaigns fire off in unison for bans on “assault rifles” like the AR-15. We are told that supporters of such bans are doing what is necessary to save innocent lives. But how does a top-down prohibition of a desired object actually work in practice? Violently and disastrously, according to every case example we have.
