Antifa accused the conservative students holding the pro-life vigil of supporting "christo-fascist abortion legislation" in an online advertisement promoting the far-left counter protest.

On Monday night in Denton, Texas, a pro-life vigil was underway when it was crashed by hundreds of Antifa protestors, who attempted to drown the event out.

In the video, the pro-life activists who gathered for the event were chanting "Christ is King," to which the Antifa counter protestors started shouting "F*ck your God."

The pro-life prayer vigil was led on campus Monday by the local Young Conservatives of Texas (YCT) chapter at the University of North Texas (UNT).

According to Fox News, Kelly Neidert, founder of the YCT chapter at UNT, stated: "They harassed us, they were throwing things at us," she said. "They were chanting things. They brought all sorts of instruments that they were playing to drown out whatever we were saying. They brought their megaphones; they brought whistles."

Neidert said that several Antifa activists tried to pick fights with the pro-life students, told the group to kill themselves, and followed the conservatives to their cars to harass them further. Neidert said that she and her fellow demonstrators were caught off-guard by the size of the massive opposition.

An online advertisement emblazoned with the three-arrow insignia of Antifa was circulated on social media to rally comrades to outnumber the dozen of pro-life activists. "Fascists are organizing in your area," the release read on Twitter, directed to members of Antifa in the area of the university. "Tonight the young conservatives have invited groyper influencers & white nationalists such as Lance Johnston to a pro life 'vigil' in supporting christo-fascist abortion legislation."

"A few hundred students with opposing views gathered on campus Monday evening to exercise their free speech rights. The gathering ended without incident," UNT spokesperson Leigh Anne Gullett told Fox News in a press statement.

Texans have been extremely divided over the new state abortion law, since dubbed the "Heartbeat Law," which places severe restrictions on abortions.

Neidert noted that some of the Antifa instigators also expressed hatred for Republican Texas Gov. Gregg Abbott who recently signed the controversial law banning abortion in the state after the detection of a fetal heartbeat.

Were independent and cant be cancelled. The establishment media is increasingly dedicated to divisive cancel culture, corporate wokeism, and political correctness, all while covering up corruption from the corridors of power. The need for fact-based journalism and thoughtful analysis has never been greater. When you support The Post Millennial, you support freedom of the press at a time when it's under direct attack.

Antifa crashes Texas college's pro-life prayer vigil: 'F ...

Almost 100 Antifa sitzpinklers showed up to harass attendees of a pro-life vigil on the campus of the University of North Texas.

The local Antifa ambergris advertised their fascist interruption plan on Twitter and invited their tin-fisted legions to join in the fun. They even told them what color to wear in the tweet.

Fascists are organizing in your area. Tonight the young conservatives have invited groyper influencers & white nationalists such as Lance Johnston to a pro life vigil in supporting christo-fascist abortion legislation.

Attendees at the vigil, held by the schools chapter of Young Conservatives of Texas (YCT), shouted Christ is king and the fascist daisy-boys responded with F*** your God! They also brought megaphones and musical instruments to drown out the vigil.

They harassed us, they were throwing things at us, Kelly Neidert, chairwoman of the UNT chapter of YCT told Fox News. They were chanting things. They brought all sorts of instruments that they were playing to drown out whatever we were saying. They brought their megaphones, they brought whistles.

Several of the low-T Antifa members tried to pick fights. Some followed YCT members back to their cars and harassed them further.

I think they just really hate anybody who doesnt agree with everything that they believe, Neidert relayed to Fox News. And they just really dont know how to cope with other people who have different beliefs. So they want to silence us and say what were doing is wrong because they just dont understand that some people believe differently.

Neidert is apparently infamous on her campus. She told Fox News she is frequently recognized and flipped the bird by leftists. She even fears for her own safety.

Last year, the YCT crew encouraged conservatives to come out on National Coming Out Day, when people are encouraged to embrace their inner LGBT selves and come out to the world.

The commies REALLY hated Neirdert for that move. Last year they broke out the big guns and had witches threaten her with misfortune, not physical harm. They even summoned the dark lord, Satan himself, to teach Neidert a lesson.

FARCE-O-RAMA! For those wishing to use bedeviling hexes against conservatives, there is now a book of commie spells!

Antifa must be getting bored. This is not the first time theyve attacked friendly Christians. A group of Antifa gals, armed with bear mace and paintball guns, jumped a bunch of pro-life demonstrators outside a Planned Parenthood office in Salem, Oregon. No witches, warlocks, or imps were seen.

'F Your God!': Antifa Attacks Praying Pro-LifersAgain ...

The events of Jan. 6 will resonate for decades, and maybe longer. The violent attempt by Donald Trumps supporters to prevent members of Congress at the Capitol from certifying the victory of Joe Biden in last Novembers presidential election has no precedent in American history.

Unfortunately, not only will the wounds of that day not heal any time soon, it now looks close to certain that each Jan. 6 going forward, the wounds will be reopened when Trump admirers treat the day as an anniversary to celebrate. Every Jan. 6, most of the media, Democratic officeholders and the Mitt Romney-Liz Cheney branch of the Republican Party will lament the terrible events at the Capitol. But every Jan. 6, Fox News, other Trump-friendly media organizations and millions of MAGA stans will treat the day as akin to the Boston Tea Party the day (some) Americans declared war on tyranny.

Initially, Trump didnt frame the events of that day so tidily. He conceded there was mayhem but said the violent rioters were Antifa members wearing Trump gear. He did so even though House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy of Bakersfield told him in a Jan. 6 phone call that it was your people rampaging in the Capitol not Antifa.

But the Antifa spin was quickly refuted by the backgrounds of those being prosecuted for participating in the insurrection. Not one of the 700 people arrested for their actions have been linked to Antifa. Many were documented Trump fans.

When the Antifa conspiracy theory was demolished, Trump, his followers and some GOP lawmakers had to come up with another way to frame Jan. 6.

The first was to pretend that what tens of millions of Americans saw in real time didnt happen. In a March appearance on Fox News, Trump called Jan. 6 a lovefest, describing a scene in which supporters were hugging and kissing the police. The same month, in a radio interview, Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wisconsin, depicted rioters as well-meaning, innocent Americans: Those are people that love this country, that truly respect law enforcement [and] would never do anything to break the law.

But when that didnt go well, in July, Trump praised the Jan. 6 rioters as patriots who acted as part of a noble revolution to save a nation that had lost its way. Yes, he went there.

If you think this is alarmism over empty rhetoric and are reassured that GOP candidate Glenn Youngkin won the Virginia governors race this week after keeping Trump at a firm distance, I invite you to read The Washington Posts massive multimedia presentation on the lead-up to the riot, the events of Jan. 6 and the subsequent fallout. It captures the sense of righteousness and abiding anger of those who sincerely believe Trump is the victim of a Deep State-media-Democratic conspiracy.

Some GOP officials, knowing that they were putting their careers at risk, have had the guts to push back. I get it that you think youre responding to what you think is the will of your constituents, Georgia Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan told the Post. But at the end of the day, youve got to be honest with them. When someone says the Earth is flat, youve got to vehemently disagree with them because you know its not flat.

But far more elected Republicans went along with or kept silent about the bizarre claims of Trump and his followers, including McCarthy and Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky. And many continued to echo and act on Trumps claim that he was the victim of a massive plot to deny him victory. Nineteen states adopted 33 new laws intended to make it harder for Americans to vote.

It has to be noted that these are complicated times. The Russian analyst who was the primary source for the error-ridden 2016 Steele dossier linking Trump to Russian operatives a document widely treated as fact or close to it by many journalists and MSNBC hosts was arrested this week for lying to the FBI about the dossier. This strongly strengthens the view of Republicans and prominent progressive journalists like Glenn Greenwald and Matt Taibbi that Russiagate was deeply exaggerated by many with an anti-Trump animus. Trump fans with a nonexistent case the 2020 election was stolen have reason to wonder why a weak case the 2016 election was stolen was taken so seriously. A backlash was inevitable.

What I did not anticipate was a backlash so intense that actual, open attempts to steal elections by manipulating voting results or invalidating legal counts probably will be made next year by elected Republicans in Trump strongholds.

Heres hoping Im wrong. Yet that may not be the worst of it. Trumps decision to celebrate Jan. 6 will legitimize and encourage political violence by his admirers against individuals and institutions targeted by the former president.

Remember what happened that day at the Capitol Trump supporters chanted that they wanted to lynch Vice President Mike Pence and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Then hold on.

A nightmare is coming.

Teachers must speak up for students, future

I have been a teacher in Santa Maria for 25 years. Why is there no public response to the farce that has become the politics of public education? The speakers of the national unions cannot represent us. It is time for teachers to speak up.

When Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers shares a link to a Washington Post article that claims parents have no right to shape their kids school curriculum, we must speak up.

When educators and media pundits claim no CRT is being taught in public schools, we must speak up. The Ethnic Studies Model Curriculum for K-12 adopted by the California Board of Education in March 2021 is a CRT promulgation (Chap. 3; pg. 31-32).

When staff distribute a dictionary with 21 words to describe types of gender and 10 new pronouns, we must speak up. Speak up for truth. Every person on our campus is welcome and valued and must be treated with dignity and respect because they are people.

When districts implement mask mandates, we must speak up. Individuals can choose to wear a mask. Parents have a right to mask their children. No one has a right to force others to do so.

When people are being coerced into making health decisions that go against their judgement or are not based on discussions with their doctors, we must speak up.

When people try to erase history in the name of righting past wrongs, we must speak up.

Too many in public education have lost their way. There is no education without truth.

In Janus vs. AFSCME, the Supreme Court affirmed the First Amendment and declared teachers are not required to be part of a teachers union to keep their jobs. If the unions dont represent you, its time to leave the union. That is one way we can speak up. We must speak up for the students who need us, the parents who trust us and the future that awaits us all.

How dare the State of California want to take away our right to catch COVID! It has already taken away our right to get, suffer from, and potentially die from mumps, measles, whooping cough, diptheria, tuberculosis, and polio by insisting we vaccinate our children before they go to school. What can the state be thinking?

This goes out to the people responsible for all the students who are asked to exercise in this horrible air quality environment. I see kids running for track class, and just heard the football game going on at the Neighbor Bowl last night (which was way too loud by the way); and they are even doing band practice outdoors.

Come on, use common sense, watch out for your kids' health and keep them out of this smoke and heavy particulate matter that we call "air" these days!

In a recent commentary, chief political correspondent for The Washington Examiner, Byron York appears to take umbrage at some circles calling the Jan. 6 Capitol riot an armed insurrection. He then asks, How many rioters were armed? And what weapons did they have? What were the arms in the armed insurrection?

He argues, Of the 670 (defendants with federal charges against them), I counted 82 who face weapons-related charges. Thats about 12% of the total. And of course, the number of people charged with anything, 670, is far smaller than the number who were on the Capitol grounds that day.

Mr. York wants us to believe that 82 people with weapons arent enough to create an armed insurrection and that 670 defendants charged is insignificant compared to the total number of rioters on Jan. 6. Really.

He lists the variety of weapons used by the 82 defendants as: A helmet. A baton. A crutch. A walking stick. Handgun. Pepper Spray. Flagpole. Knife. Baseball bat. Crowd control barrier. Police shield. Hockey stick. Desk drawer.

Mr. York then points out that guns are the most serious and that of the 670, (only) five suspects are charged with possessing firearms. But none are charged with using them during the riot.

He then offers excuses for each having a gun during the riot while vilifying, scapegoating, and throwing shade at Capitol Police Lt. Micheal Byrd by pointing out, The only shot that was fired during that time was by Capitol Police Lt. Micheal Byrd, who shot and killed rioter Ashli Babbitt as she tried to force her way into an area near the chamber.

No mention of Lt. Micheal Byrd being exonerated and his heroics in protecting members of Congress from kidnapping or death at the hands of armed insurrectionists.

Mr. York also scapegoats antifa remarking, Some weapons were clearly brought in anticipation of a fight. Some rioters thought they would be battling antifa. As if the intent to kill members of antifa makes having weapons seem reasonable during the riot.

Finally Mr. York concludes, what happened on Jan. 6 was a riot But a look at the Justice Department prosecutions simply does not make the case it was an armed insurrection.

Mr. York seems to want to minimize and offer excuses for riot attendees on Jan. 6. Anybody that saw footage of the Jan. 6 riot knows it wasnt peaceful and that plenty of people had weapons and were using them to injure, maim, kill and threaten our elected members of Congress.

I find it shameful and disgusting that Mr. York is not demanding all involved in crimes during the armed insurrection on Jan. 6 be held accountable. Instead he is making the semantics of labeling the riot as an armed insurrection seem more important than finding out the truth about what occurred, holding those involved accountable, and administering justice.
