Limo Burned by Trump Protesters Belongs to Muslim Immigrant--Now Trump Supporters are Stepping Up...



Last Friday afternoon, just hours after President Trump was sworn in as the 45th President of the United States, protests in D.C. turned into violent riots.

Local businesses were destroyed and people were attacked by the marauding thugs. This reporter was there and was teargassed. At one point in the chaos, the protesters turned their sights on a black limousine parked nearby. In a video that has shocked much of the nation, these same protesters set the limo on fire, jeering in celebration until the D.C. police and fire department arrived.

The limo set ablaze belonged to a Muslim immigrant, Muhammad Ashraf, owner of Nationwide Chauffeured Services, a company that has served the DC-Maryland-Virginia (DMV) area for more than 20 years. The destroyed limo could cost upwards of $90,000 to replace....

A Florida couple, who are Trump supporters and voted for him, heard about the destroyed limo and decided to do something about it. Mike and Marlo Denning, owners of Elegant Limousines located in Daytona Beach, Florida, created a ◼ Go Fund Me fundraising page the day after the limo was burned. The couple has raised over $6,000 of their $20,000 goal in just the last 48 hours.

Donald Trump's report card: Straight A's for Inaugural Address







This marks our first Weekly Report Card for new President Trump and it starts with a bang. Both of our professors, coming at Trump from opposite sides, give 45th President of the United States an A....

John Zogby: ...In his first official act as president, his Inaugural Address, he hit his speech out of the park. He has declared a revolution, a new spirit of patriotism, an inclusiveness that was missing during his campaign. "When we are patriotic we all bleed the same blood," he said.

He has redefined America's role in the world and called for a new global contract — 'America First.' We will assist our allies when it is in U.S. interests. In the process, he has raised expectations for delivery on his goals. But for now, he was clear and visionary. He gave a talk that will debated and certainly remembered.

Riots gain attention while protests send a message. On the right, the Tea Party helped build a movement that swept Republicans into power. For the left, this display's more likely to spark backlash, if it does anything at all.





On Friday thousands of protestors gathered in Washington, D.C. to protest the peaceful transition of power from one democratically-elected president to another. And it got ugly quickly.

...But while the media certainly gave them plenty of attention, the protestors probably won't win much sympathy....

When words failed them though, protestors turned to rioting. Wearing black face masks, they smashed the windows of Starbucks, Bank of America, and a Bobby Van's steakhouse a few blocks from Capitol Hill. Private business didn't suffer all the damage, though. Suddenly enemies of public transport, liberal rioters trashed at least one bus stop—an indicator of the aimlessness of the whole thing.

These protests can best be described as the opposite of the Tea Party movement....

The festivities continue



























God Bless America!













The biggest surprise for most of us came on Election Night 2016, when Trump went from being an almost sure loser at the beginning of the night (and we were bracing for President-elect Hillary), to "he may have a chance if he wins Florida," to -- "holy crap he just won North Carolina honey, he just won North Carolina!!!", to "OH MY GOD Michigan and Wisconsin," to President-elect Trump at the end of the night.

It was a beautiful and magical thing to watch, and you can experience it all over again at ◼ AoSHQ tonight where Ace is re-posting election-night coverage and setting up threads as if it were November 8 all over again.

There's a reason why the Democrats have been reduced to a weak, regional party. 2018 will decimate them even more.
