DEVELOPING STORY: As many as 30,000 pro-Palestinian protesters surrounded the White House and clashed with federal officers, including the Secret Service. The mob held up a fake severed head depicting President Biden and desecrated a number of monuments and memorials. Many waved Palestinian flags. Others displayed banners calling for jihad and martyrdom while others chanted for the deaths of Israelis. Video also shows park rangers coming under attack by the mob. Several officers were hit by projectiles that had been hurled through the air. The New York Post reports that protesters threw smoke bombs over the White House security fence. The Hill reports that additional public safety measures including anti-scale fencing have been put in place near the White House complex. Police deployed tear gas to break up the crowds. So far, no one has been arrested. The White House perimeter was not breached. And this is what an actual insurrection looks like, America. As I wrote in “Twilight’s Last Gleaming: Can America Be Saved,” we are about to face a war between the cultures on American soil. Click here to read my book.

2) Protesters surrounding and resisting the police cheered as a relatively rare moment occurred: The arrestee (whose hands had been cuffed behind their back) was able to leave, unarrested.

It's not clear to me if they were uncuffed and/or later rearrested. pic.twitter.com/xDZDhhzHkl
