Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Sunday, October 05, 2025

The United States is experiencing a level of left-wing political violence not seen since the early 1970s, with one key and chilling difference: Today, a radicalized violent extremist can be anywhere. In the past year or so, we have seen the assassination of Charlie Kirk in Utah, two near misses for President Trump, the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in New York, the church shooting in Minnesota in which a transgender assailant allegedly killed two children, and, this week, the killing of two detainees at a Dallas U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility.

This stuff is lifted nearly word-for-word from Stephen Miller.

Mr. Miller wants to see your papers, BOAZ.

Make sure you have them, and make sure they're in order.

And expect ICE to say tht their fakes anyway.

"And expect ICE to say they're they're fakes, anyway".

I hope that you never have the experience of an ICE agent making you repeat how you say "San Antonio".

Happened to me.

None of that is left wing political violence.

There's the guy in New Jersey who ran over the girl he was stalking and her sister, killing both. His stated motive was revenge for them being glad Charlie Kirk isn't around to spared hate any more.

The media has already positioned that as a "troubled youth" and scrubbed the Revenge For Charlie connection details from their description of his 22-minute post-murder live stream.

"Statistics from both government and independent analyses show that right-wing extremist violence has been responsible for the overwhelming majority of fatalities from domestic terrorism over the past few decades.

This includes violence committed by white nationalists and white supremacists.
Analyses indicate that right-wing extremists caused approximately 75% to 80% of U.S. domestic terrorism deaths between 2001 and 2021."

Yes. But did you know the bombings we're NOT intended to kill Americans.

And less people died than during that 18 month period of bombings due to those bombs than were killed or injured in last weekends mass shootings in America's "War Ravaged Cities" with guns?

And in 2,500 domestic bombings, they killed a fraction of the people Timothy McVeigh, Terry Nichols, and their still unidentified third co-conspirator killed with just one domestic bombing.

It's almost like those bombers in the 1970s weren't trying to inflict mass casualties.

Antifa was at its most dangerous in the 1940s.

When Americans flew to Europe to kill Nazis.

Now, the Republican Party is full of Nazis.

Problem is we are living in the Post-Factual Trump World of Lies.

Trumpers care not for facts.
