Berkeley, California, was the epicenter of the left-wing protest culture that dominated the news during the 1960s. More than 50 years later, the San Francisco has once again become ahub for demonstrators, this time of a much more violent variety. Over the weekend, hard-core supporters of President Donald Trump repeatedly clashed in the street with the leftist anarchists who call themselves antifas, an abbreviation for anti-fascists.

The clashes began in February after a mob of antifa activists showed up outside a scheduled event that was to feature former Breitbart News editor Milo Yiannopoulos and began lighting objects on fire and attacking hissupporters. The violent disruptions prompted the University of California to nixthe speech. The cancellation of the event became national news after President Donald Trump weighed in on the controversy, casting the blame on the university but not the demonstrators:

Trump supporters further escalated the situation by scheduling a second rally for March 4, which featured more violence as members of the extreme alt-right movement began mingling withregular Republicans.After even bigger fights broke out at March 25 rallies in Southern California and in Philadelphia, far-right groups decided to descend upon Berkeley to protect Trump supporters.

This is just the beginning, wrotea member ofthe neo-Nazi website the Daily Stormer.This is a sign that we have moved into a new era in the Nazification of America. Normie Trump supporters are becoming racially aware and Jew wise. They are willing to stick up for themselves side by side with Nazis without being adverse to violence.

This pastSaturday, a pro-Trump demonstration again broke out into fisticuffs as several thousand protesters began attacking one another with almost no police seeming to be interested in dispersing the violence.Saturdays rioting featured extensive violence with both sides hurling fireworks, bottles and even bagels. At one point, a racist activist was filmed punching a female antifa demonstrator in the face.

According to Frances Dinkelspiel, a Berkeley-based news reporter, local police have an official policyofnot intervening in small physical conflicts between citizens since doing so could increase the risk of injury. Mother Jones reporter Shane Bauerwas on the sceneand asked several police officers why they were doing nothing in response to the widespread violence:

This is just the beginning: Alt-right rejoices as violent protests rock Berkeley - Salon

President Trumps Thursday bombing of Afghanistan, just a week after an airstrike on Syria, is again challenging his alt-right and white nationalist fans.

Some of the far right-wingers see the moves as evidence of a full Jewish coup sweeping the White House and are even portraying Trump himself as a sort of victim.

All around him are these Jewish extremists like Kushner, said David Duke, referring to Jared Kushner, Trumps son-in-law. Duke is a former Ku Klux Klan head and sort of elder statesman for white nationalists. Trump might not even know half the things they do.

Duke, who has been an avid Trump supported urged the president to fend off this Jewish coup which Duke saw as leading the country to war, but stopped just short of fully condemnding Trump.

If we totally abandon Trump, say he has to get impeached, who are we going to get in turn? Duke asked. Mike Pence? Hes the biggest cuck in the world.

Cuck is the shortened version of cuckservative, a racially and sexually charged neologism that was popularized by far-right supporters to deride conservatives who supposedly abandoned their true values.

Trump had a populist vision, but lacked an infrastructure to carry it out. Hes had to turn to all the same failed people and ideas, wrote Richard Spencer, the white nationalists who helped popularize the term alt-right.

One fundamental problem of Trumpism is not so much Trump himself but Conservatism, Spencer wrote on Twitter.

Spencer stopped just short of fully condemning Trump last week.

Mike Cernovich, the right-wing blogger who moves in the alt-right orbit said he would not be turning on Trump though he was opposed to what he described as the globalist inner circle which threatens Trump.

In a Friday episode of Inforwars, the right-wing conspiracy site, Cernovich discussed his disappointment with the programs host Alex Jones. Jones has been another outspoken Trump fan, but has also slightly tempered his tone.

Jones sought to cast Trumps shift in some policies as the moves of a hard negotiator not as someone who had betrayed his base.

Cernovich agreed with this characterization and said that it was similar to how some in the alt-right orbit might be pushing back against Trump right now.

The same way that you and I are pushing back against the ground war in Syria. It doesnt mean that we flip-flopped, it doesnt mean that we oppose Trump, Cernovich said. Were just saying, hey there is a negotiation going on too, even between us and the president of the United States that is how adults behave.

Jones agreed, urging viewers to not totally abandon Trump. He said that would be a childish move. By leaving the sandbox, youre not even in the game, Jones said.

'Alt-Right' Sticks With Trump Despite 'Jewish Coup' - Forward

Bill Wirtz deserves our thanks for addressing the rise of a right-of-center political party in Germany, indeed the only German national party that defies Chancellor Angela Merkels boast that that there is no right-of-center party in Germany. Given the fact that the German Federal Republic may be able to claim the most politically correct electorate in Europe, the Alternative fr Deutschland seems like a rather modest exception to Merkels generalization: right now its polling less than 10 percent of the likely German vote and in the recent regional election in the Saarland picked up no more than 7 percent. This, mind you, is in a country in which Merkels CDU-SDP coalition is responsible for admitting during the last year and a half about two million Syrian migrants (many of whom are neither Syrians nor refugees). In Germany, moreover, the rate of violent crime among the Muslim newcomers is many times higher than among the indigenous European population. The German response to this cataclysm has been not, as one might expect, to head decisively toward the right. Rather the electorate seems to be shifting toward the multicultural left and toward specifically those political parties that are emphatically antinational and favor even further immigration from the Muslim Third World.

Any attempt to see Germany as being on the verge of lurching toward a neo-fascist alternative to its current PC regime is utterly delusional. The Germans were so thoroughly reeducated by their victors after World War II that subsequent generations evolved into PC automata. The leaders of Germanys very powerful leftist parties (that is, those to the left of the Christian Democrats), like Jurgen Trittin of the Greens, obtain millions of Germans vote. They also express utter loathing for their nation, as Trittin did continuously as a member of the German Bundestag, and promise to make it disappear into some global political entity. Any demonstration against further Muslim immigration into Germany brings out throngs of leftist demonstrators, who openly engage in violence against immigration critics. The national gathering of the AfD that will take place in Cologne right after Easter has already elicited demonstrations and predictable acts of violence from the left. The police in such situations are usually directed not to interfere in the demonstrations; and the German police inexcusably dithered when migrants sexually assaulted a few dozen German girls near the Cologne Central Railroad Station on New Years evening 201516.

Wirtzs comparison of the AfD to Richard Spencers version of the alt-right left me scratching my head. Unlike certain strains of the alt-right, the AfD is not white nationalist, and its nativism seems to be confined to its preference (as explained in its statement of principle in 2016) that if Germany wishes to replace its shrinking population, we need families with more children and not more mass immigration. Having before me at this moment the AfD statement of principle, I find nothing there that reflects Mr. Spencers moral positions. The document affirms the sanctity of life and opposes abortion and gay marriage (these are not stands taken by most representatives of the present alt-right). The AfD also seeks to restore the traditional family of father, mother and children as the nucleus of society. Just about everything else the AfD advocates would fit into a Republican national platform, with its stress on fiscal restraint and cutting off funding to inveterately leftist public media. The AfD also calls for returning sovereignty that had been seized by the EU to its own country and reconsidering the usefulness of the euro zone for German economic stability. The statement of principle also makes clear that Germanys borders are not the same as those of the EU. It is the German border police, not EU officials, who should decide who enters the country. Mr. Wirtz may not agree with this Trump-like reassertion of national sovereignty, but its exceedingly hard to see how it equates with white nationalism or neo-Nazism.

Wirtz also assigns an unfairly sinister interpretation to an often decontextualized remark made by the former Thuringian chairman of the AfD Bjrn Hocke at a party gathering in Magdeburg on October 16, 2015. Hocke was in no way alluding to Hitlers One Thousand Year Reich when he spoke about Germany having a future of one thousand years. The speaker was talking about how his region was convulsed by migrant violence; and he expressed the hope that Germany, which can look back at a one thousand year past, would also have a future to look forward to.

Pace Wirtz, Hocke was not imitating the Nazis when he objected to the placing of a national Holocaust monument in the center of Germanys capital. In my view, this Thuringian politician was unfairly expelled from his party when he described the monument as a Schandmal, a term that can be translated as either shame monument or stigma. The eminent German jurist, longtime pillar of Merkels party, and more recently vice-chairman of the AfD, Alexander Gauland was entirely correct when he insisted that Hockes stated opinion is certainly no grounds for expelling someone from a German party that claims to welcome an honest exchange of views.

Like other German patriots, Gauland reluctantly left Merkels party after it tried to outdo the left in renouncing Germanys right to a national identity. Like other European countries, according to Gauland, Germanys right to be a nation should not be negotiable.

A report by the Atlantic Councils Digital Forensic Research Lab found that aclaim thatrecent airstrikes in Syria were a false flag operation an operation that either didnt really occur or that were conducted by a party other than the Syrian government which went viral among the alt-right actuallyoriginated witha Syrian propaganda outlet that supports the current regime andspread to a series of pro-Kremlin conspiracy websites andfake news purveyorsbefore being promoted byalt-right figures including Infowars Alex Jones and Mike Cernovich.

The report showed that key claims, quotes, and images that were initially reported by Al-Masdar, the outlet that supports Syrian President Bashar Assad, were used in reports on pro-Kremlin sites, fake news sites, and on Infowars.

In addition, the reportnotedthat, after the false flag claim was promoted by Jones and Cernovich,Twitter accounts that appear to be bots accelerated the use of hashtags about the attack, which led to the hashtag #SyriaHoax going viral. The report concluded,The Syrian regimes reaction to the chemical attack is no surprise, but what is noteworthy is the way in which the regimes response was translated rapidly and directly into coverage on alt-right websites, most obviously Infowars. From the report:

The chemical attack came at dawn, local time, on April 4. It was widely reported and provoked outrage and condemnation, triggering immediate calls for an investigation. Photographs and videos from the scene showed hideous images of dead children and footage of rescuers, including the White Helmets group, washing down victims.

The same day, website Al-Masdar News, which supports the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, published an article claiming that the story was a false flag operation.

Over the next two days, the al-Masdar piece was picked up by a number of pro-Kremlin and anti-Western sites.

It was reproduced verbatim by at least three conspiracy sites: globalresearch.ca, informationclearinghouse.info and The Lifeboat News. A number of pro-Kremlin sites known for their use of false reporting quoted it at length. These included The Duran and The Russophile (also known as Russia News Now), together with conspiracy site Investment Watch Blog.

A third group of sites wrote their own reports, but very largely followed the Al-Masdar arguments. These included 21st Century Wire and Before Its News, both of which ran a video repeating the claims and using the same imagery.

The most influential pickup came on April 5, when US-based conspiracy site Infowars ran its version of the story. Infowars is a highly influential site among the alt-right movement in the US; its leading light, Alex Jones, has over 600,000 Twitter followers.

The Syrian regimes reaction to the chemical attack is no surprise. It has consistently denied all accusations of atrocities, and accused its critics of false claims, as documented in the Atlantic Councils report Breaking Aleppo.

What is noteworthy is the way in which the regimes response, launched on a site which has repeatedly amplified Assads messaging, was translated rapidly and directly into coverage on alt-right websites, most obviously Infowars.

Conspiracy website Infowars and its proprietor, Alex Jones,have heavily praised Russian President Vladimir Putin in recent months, with Jones previouslybraggingabout praise from top Putin advisers and even Putin himself in regards tohis pro-Trump coverage. Jones alsoclaims to have talked to folks very close to the president about Trumps Syria policy. Both Jones and Cernovich, amember of the so-called alt-right, havehelped popularize numerous conspiracy theories, including the Pizzagate story that falsely claimed an underground child sex trafficking ring was run out of a pizzeria in Washington, D.C.

In March, the FBI opened an investigation into Russian operatives use of bots to push pro-Trump news from far-right outlets to social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter, and the Senate Intelligence Committee opened an investigation into Russias use of fake news to influence the outcome of the 2016 presidential election. Before Its News, one of the pro-Trump propaganda outlets mentioned in the report, and a site that Media Matters has identified as a fake news purveyor, has denied any connection between Trump and the Russian government.

On the roster: Death penalty returns to culture wars- Time Out: When seconds matter - GOP infighting could cost them Prices Atlanta seat - Trumps taxes, your taxes and a pair of deadlines - Thats Professor Toilet Cleaner to you, sir

DEATH PENALTY RETURNS TO CULTURE WARS One of the most remarkable things about the current uproar over anunprecedented series of seven executions set to take place in Arkansas over the next ten days is how unusual the discussion of the death penalty is itself.

After decades as the front-line issue of Americas culture wars, capital punishment has faded both as a flash point and also in practice.

The trend among states that reinstituted the death penalty following the Supreme Courts 1972 decision allowing the practice to resume has been decidedly against its use either in principle or in practice.

Ten of the 31 states that reemployed capital punishment following the courts decision in Furman v. Georgiahave not had a single execution in the past decade. And, in the past five years, 26 states that still have the death penalty on the books have killed no one.

But thats not to say that there arent still plenty of executions taking place, its just that the practice has become increasingly geographically isolated.

Since 2013, 120 of 128 executions have taken place in six states: Texas, Oklahoma, Georgia, Florida, Missouri and Alabama. Texas alone was responsible for 50 of those.

You may or may not remember how different this issue looked 20 years ago when approval for the death penalty was at an all-time high. Elections, even on the presidential level, sometimes turned on the issue, an unmistakable pendulum swing against what was perceived as the namby-pambyism of theMiranda-era coddling of criminals.

In 1988, hapless Democratic nomineeMichael Dukakissaw his hopes fade amid a sustained effort by then Vice PresidentGeorge H.W. Bushto paint the Massachusetts governor soft on crime. That came not only in the form of arguably the most effective attack adin American political history about Dukakiss prison furlough program, but also Dukakiss own jaw-dropping response to a debate question.

Asked by moderatorBernard Shawwhether Dukakis would support the death penalty for someone who raped and murdered his wife,Kitty, the Democrat was unmoved, talking about deterrents and his track record of opposition, with no expression of spousal outrage or emotion. It still ranks as one of the most damaging debate answers in history.

Four years later, DemocratBill Clintonwas sure to avoid a similar mistake, famously leaving the campaign trail to race back to Arkansas, coincidentally the scene of the current controversy, to preside over the execution ofRicky Ray Rector. Rectors developmental disabilities and mental impairment had led to calls for his sentence to be reduced to life in prison, but Clinton was not going to be branded soft on crime.

But the polling looked different then than it does now. According toGallup, support for the death penalty reached its high-water mark at 80 percent in 1996. That number has steadily fallen now to its most-recent low of 60 percent. Opposition to capital punishment has been steadily climbing, with opponents now at the highest level since the early 1960s.

After a huge battle 44 years ago and the broad reimplementation of the practice in the 1980s and 1990s, the death penalty is sharply waning in practice.

Declining crime rates are a factor, as are concerns about the irrevocable nature of the punishment in the wake of the revelation of faked or mistaken forensic evidence used to obtain convictions. So too is the growing number of pro-life conservatives who object on the grounds of conscience.

A series of botched executions further discouraged those promoting capital punishment. Lethal injection, once seen as a painless and humane alternative to electrocution, now sounds like the stuff of nightmares.

But whatever its cause, the trend is unmistakable. What was once the main battle of America's culture war, is now hardly a skirmish.

THE RULEBOOK:THE PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE It is worthy of remark that not only the first, but every succeeding Congress, as well as the late convention, have invariably joined with the people in thinking that the prosperity of America depended on its Union. John Jay,Federalist Papers No. 2 TIME OUT: WHEN SECONDS MATTER A great read by National Geographic recounting a military mission so daring that it almost seems too far-fetched. Readthe story of Lt. Col.Jimmy Doolittleand his fearless flyers: Following the Pearl Harbor attack, PresidentFranklin Rooseveltfuriously pressed the chiefs of the armed services to find a way to retaliate against the Japanese homeland, but no one knew how to overcome the logistical challenges. Warplanes based on aircraft carriers were too small to inflict significant damage, and they didnt hold enough fuel to make the mission feasible. Then one cold January day someone got the idea that the B-25 Mitchell, a relatively new, twin-engine, medium bomber, might be able to take off from a flattop deck. Landing one of the planes on a carrier was out of the question, but after bombing Japan it would have just enough fuel to make it to friendly fields in China.

GOP INFIGHTING COULD COST THEM PRICES ATLANTA SEAT AJC:Fractious Georgia Republicans tried to unite behind a stopJon Ossoff movement ahead of Tuesdays special election to represent a suburban Atlanta district, with party leaders urging voters to stream to the polls and prevent an upset victory by the Democrat. Republicans face a daunting enthusiasm gap in the 18-candidate race to represent the 6th District, and the leading GOP contenders have spent the final days feuding with each other. Ossoff, one of five Democrats in the race, is leading in the polls and aiming for an outright victory in Tuesdays vote. At a GOP voter drive in the districts western flank of Marietta, about 30 volunteers and officials turned out to make calls and listen to several likely Republican statewide candidates. This is personal, said Attorney GeneralChris Carr, who lives in Dunwoody. We have great candidates. But whoever you support is better than the other side. They are trying to embarrass us, but lets show them this district is Republican red.

Meanwhile Dems get a jump on fundraising -WSJ:Riding a wave of grass-roots enthusiasm, several Senate Democrats up for re-election in 2018 posted strong fundraising takes in the first quarter, amassing big war chests of campaign cash. Democratic candidates in Virginia, Indiana, Missouri and North Dakota reported large fundraising hauls rarely seen so early in an election cycle. The pickup in donations is dramatic. Democratic incumbents in 14 Senate seats that had released their fundraising totals by Friday afternoon had raised more than $30 million in the first quarter of the year, about three times as much as those same candidates raised in the same period six years ago.

TRUMPS TAXES, YOUR TAXES AND A PAIR OF DEADLINES LA Times:In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and the byzantine nature of the tax code. As the deadline to file your taxes creeps up Tuesday, its been three decades sinceRonald Reagan, riding an Electoral College landslide of 49 out of 50 states, was able to overhaul the tax system.President Trumpdoesnt have that kind of support, nor has a proposal been unveiled. And, as seen in the attempt to remake healthcare, he shuns the political trade-offs that are usually needed for remaking tax laws. Over the weekend, protesters took to the streets to demand the release of Trumps returns, and Trump responded by tweeting that someone should look into who paid for the small organized rallies.

Republicans consider a sweets-only menu on taxes -Axios: As full-blown tax reform looks more and more like an unreachable stretch, there's increasing conversation on the Hill about what's being called a candy option all the goodies, with none of the pain. That would mean lower personal and corporate rates, plus some limited repatriation, funded largely by deficit spending.

AUDIBLE:PERSONNEL IS POLICY What would be transformative would be if [Steve Bannon] quits or is fired. I think that would be an indication that it will be somewhere closer to a Republican establishment administration. That will change a lot of people's attitudes. Eliot Cohen, a State Department counselor during the Bush administration, said toPoliticoregarding Bush alumni joining Team Trump.

FROM THE BLEACHERS I have been following your newsletter for quite some time. I got into a commentary [with] a liberal or two. One made a statement that the republicans won't get anything done and will be replaced. I said who is he kidding democrats obstruct so nothing will get done and republicans get blamed and republicans do that when out of power as well. Honestly in congress it is every person for themselves and nothing gets done. Why their rating is tanking as a whole we all agree I guess we're moderates and on suggested term limits. If not we will see a banana republic in our lifetime. I grew up [with] Reagan in office and congress actually made deals w the other side. Are we so hateful now? Chris Johnston, Waco, Texas

[Ed note:Thank you for your readership, Mr. Johnston! And if you have been with us for any length of time, you know that this space has many times been given over to the debate on term limits. The argument that you are making here is essentially that increasing the number of lame ducks in the House and Senate will create an atmosphere more conducive to deal making since members in their final terms will be beyond the reach of voters. You may be right, but I think I have a better solution, and one that also preserves the concept of direct representation in the House: repeal the 17thAmendment. Direct election of U.S. senators has not made the Senate better nor has it really made it more responsive to voters, except for in the enthusiasm of its members pandering. If we return the responsibility to selecting senators to state legislatures, we not only return to the vision of the founders and the concept of an upper chamber in the truest sense, but we would also probably get less partisanship, less pandering and, interestingly, more direct attention to the needs and demands of each state. Just a thought]

I was thinking about how the government could come up with free money. Possibly to pay for health care, infrastructure or our debt to China, etc.What would it take for the federal government to make marijuana recreational legal for all of the United States? I know there is a lot of hoops to jump through. Could you be so kind as to maybe explain a little of the legality of the process? Would it not be beneficial to the federal government to collect the tax revenue? I could see a ton of uses. Maybe all DEA agents that battle marijuana could be utilized at the boarder or fight the opioid epidemic. Jails would be freed up. Restaurants would get more business (*munchies, but I'm sure you W.V. boys know about that) and overall people might just be a little happier.J.S. Marks, Indianapolis

[Ed note:Mr. Marks, I can neither confirm nor deny that the Elm Grove location of the DiCarlos Pizza has benefitted from the herbal appetite enhancer you mention But as to the practical matter of legalizing and taxing revenue from cannabis, in some ways America is closer than ever, but in other ways, getting farther from that result. As you know, more states continue to allow the recreational use of cannabis, with California and Massachusetts expected to come online next year. One would expect that in a country where a majority now supports at least decriminalizing pot, that trend will continue. Some states will assuredly hold out, but its not hard to imagine that in another decade the majority of Americans will live in marijuana-friendly jurisdictions. BUT, the Trump Justice Department may have some different thoughts about that. UnderPresident Obama, the Justice Department essentially announced that it would not enforce federal statutes against marijuana or banks that deposited the proceeds from its sale. If the Justice Department, in fact, changes course and imposes those superseding federal restrictions, it will scare off investors and potential proprietors. But in the long run, given the attitudes of Baby Boomers, Gen Xers and Millennials, its hard to think that any crackdown would out live the current administration.] Although I was pretty sure before today, after reading your list of The Mother of All Newsdumps, I have to admit: Chris, you are indeed, terribly entertaining. Mark Hoffman, Des Moines, Iowa

[Ed. note: Better to be terribly entertaining than entertaining terribly, I suppose! Thanks to you and all our readers who shared their enjoyment at Fridays note and what I thought was a needed moment of levity in the face of what often seems to be a grim news cycle.]

THATS PROFESSOR TOILET CLEANER TO YOU, SIR AP:A Montana State University professor is suing Wal-Mart for libel after he says an employee at the Bozeman store listed his occupation on a fishing license as a toilet cleaner.Gilbert Kalonde, assistant professor of technology education at MSU, filed the suit this past week in Gallatin County District Court. Kalonde is seeking unspecified damages. Wal-Mart spokesmanRagan Dickenstold The Associated Press: To our knowledge an administrative process to resolve this with Dr. Kalonde is ongoing. We've not been served with the lawsuit, but we take the claims seriously and will respond appropriately with the court. According to the complaint, Kalonde bought a state fishing license in April 2015, showing the Wal-Mart employee identification of his employment at MSU. But the Wal-Mart employee entered clean toilets into the state database as Kalonde's occupation. The suit contends Wal-Mart exposed Kalonde to hatred, contempt, ridicule through the incident.
