Yes, that is Katie Daviscourt from the far-right website The Post Millennial. She says she got the black eye from “Antifa” in Portland but also says local police refused to arrest her alleged attacker.

Does the woman next to him have a black eye, or is it just the light?

Here's a thread on ways Jack Posobiec has been normalized in mainstream media since Charlie Kirk's death:

I'd list all the things Jack Posobiec is known for, but I think it would get me banned on Bluesky in the current environment of automated moderation.

Let's just say he has an extensive page at the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Anyway, CBS News is talking with Posobiec about his friend Charlie Kirk.

The thing even normies know Jack Posobiec for is that he stochastically pushed a kook into storming Comet Ping Pong with an AR-15, demanding to rescue (fictitious) children from the (non-existent) basement where he believed they were serving a pedophile ring.

Pizzagate. He did that.

KUOW needs to stop platforming her. You can't " both sides" with fascism and bigotry.

It's disappointing that they didn't learn this lesson after Chris Rufo.

Brandi says she's been "covering antifa for 15 years," and that people "at this table would be dead today" because of all the antifa in Portland if Trump hadn't cracked down the antifa. I really encourage everyone to watch the video. It is DERANGED.

Brandi and her counterpart Jonathan Choe have found an incredibly lucrative grift as part of Trump's propaganda machine. While no one in local media still pretend Choe's a reporter, outlets like @kuow.org continue to treat her like a reputable member of the media. Will they still?

Brandi Kruse, who was once a local FOX reporter, was at the Trump Fan Club meeting, made a cutesy remark about how attractive she, Brandi, is, and Trump drooled something back.

Then she trashed the actual reporters in the room.

The exchange capped off a bizarre roundtable in which Trump invited guests to air their grievances about Antifa and the mainstream media.

Probably just a coincidence, but I had tickets cancelled for an international flight on Friday, after I checked in. Airline said the ticket had been flagged for potential fraud and cancelled. My hosts who bought the ticket purchased it again the next day, and I was able to travel w/o a problem.

“Someone” cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second.

We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’

A cache of email between Epstein and Ehud Barak is being catalogued and published. I'm vague on the provenance of the material, but I think they were hacked.

Among those the former PM met through the late sex offender was notorious anti-Israel professor Noam Chomsky.

Noem just said that PPB were raising fists with "antifa" yesterday...although with all their cameras and "journalists" there doesn't seem to be any footage.

Also no footage of ice agents being harmed, or burnt portland and no sources for claims of "antifa" being "murderous."

Antisemitic Conspiracy Promoter Cozies Up to Heritage Foundation

Leland Lehrman
Under the guise of “Make America Healthy Again” (MAHA), a promoter of notorious antisemitic conspiracy theories has been making the rounds of the MAGA establishment in DC, developing organizational ties with the creators of Project 2025.

Leland Lehrman, the executive director of the MAHA institute, who was recently profiled by IREHR in the report “Make America Hate Again,” has promoted the idea that the antisemitic Protocols of the Elders of Zion is real, that germ theory is fake, and that 9/11 was an “inside job.” Now, Lehrman’s group is holding a joint event with the Heritage Foundation, the architects of Project 2025.

MAHA Institute and the Heritage Foundation
Growing ties between Lehrman’s MAHA Institute and the Heritage Foundation were revealed in a June 23 joint event announcement
