Yes, there WAS a Refuse Fascism protest yesterday at Public Square. Here’s some of Cleveland 19's Digital Team News report (h/t Ralph King’s FB page):

An Anti-Trump protest was held at Public Square in Downtown Cleveland on Saturday.  

Around 50 people attended the protest.

Protesters spoke for about 40 minutes before the group marched through Downtown Cleveland.

Today was Refuse Fascism Day

Cleveland was one of the 20 cities or so hosting a national protest against Donald Trump. It was announced on several websites for today at Pubic Square at 1pm. I could not find anything at cleveland.com or tv sites. I did find a Twitchy thread here, with photos from a few locations. And the LA Daily News reported on the LA event: 

LOS ANGELES >> A protest against President Donald Trump drew a group of counter-demonstrators in downtown Los Angeles on Saturday, Nov. 4, with the two groups kept apart by police.

The group Refuse Fascism started the demonstration at Pershing Square at 1 p.m. as part of an organized across the United States.

One anti-Trump protester was arrested by the Los Angeles Police Department for repeated attempts to broach the makeshift barricades set up to keep the groups separated.

The event got off to a slow start. Dee Cole, 46, of Lancaster said she was disappointed with what she saw as a low turnout. “Not a lot of people must be watching the news,” she said.

Randy Dixon, 57, watched the protesters setting up on 5th Street near Hill and pronounced it a waste of time. As he saw it, the rally, with about 150-200 people gathered by 1 p.m., would not have an impact.

“I think it’s crazy. It’s useless. It’s not going to get Trump out of office,” Dixon said. “He’s here for the duration unless they find something illegal about him.”

. . .

The group Refuse Fascism planned the demonstration as part of an organized effort in various cities around the U.S.

. . .

But wait, there’s more to come. A “Scream at the Sky” protest (literally titled "Scream helplessly at the sky on the anniversary of the election," according to Newsweek) is scheduled for next Wednesday, Nov. 8.

Steve Salvi on the jihad attack in New York City

Steve Salvi is the Founder of the Ohio Jobs & Justice PAC (OJJPAC). He posted the following on his FB page after the ISIS attack in New York City yesterday:

Why is it surprising to people that we have terrorists in the US killing people? We have hundreds of cities run by Socialist Democrat Progressives who have instituted "sanctuary policies" for illegal aliens"and refuse to turn in criminal illegal aliens until they kill our citizens nor prosecute those legal immigrants or citizens who aid and abet their legal presence and plots.

We have inept visa programs, including the visa lottery program, which allow terrorists to legally enter the US to attack us, and tens of thousands of unvetted Muslim refugees (selected by people at the UN who include anti-American nationals) and allowed to enter the US during the Obama administration.

When Pres. Trump attempts to keep terrorists from traveling to the US, what do Clinton and or Obama appointed judges do? They block Trump's orders by supporting lawsuits filed by their partisan Democratic State Atty. Generals and or its political coalition group allies.

In another post, he mentions that the jihad suspect once lived in Cuyahoga Falls. Steve’s website is here.  

Robert Spencer has several posts on his website Jihad Watch. Here's one of several posted there today; the photo at the top is from the linked report.

The Manafort indictment

What’s the deal with the Manafort and Gates indictments? Is this the beginning of the end of Trump’s Presidency? Has Mueller found all those colluding Russians, Russians, Russians?

Here’s the conclusion offered by former federal prosecutor Andrew C. McCarthy:

Even from Paul Manafort’s perspective, there may be less to this indictment than meets the eye — it’s not so much a serious allegation of “conspiracy against the United States” as a dubious case of disclosure violations and money movement that would never have been brought had he not drawn attention to himself by temporarily joining the Trump campaign.

From President Trump’s perspective, the indictment is a boon from which he can claim that the special counsel has no actionable collusion case. It appears to reaffirm former FBI director James Comey’s multiple assurances that Trump is not a suspect. And, to the extent it looks like an attempt to play prosecutorial hardball with Manafort, the president can continue to portray himself as the victim of a witch hunt.

McCarthy’s article at National Review is here.

Gov. Kasich: do you mean legal or illegal immigration?

Breitbart reports on Gov. Kasich’s appearance on Fox News Sunday (warning: GOPe Weasel Words Alert):

. . . Gov. John Kasich (R-OH) said the “bulk” of the Republican party was pro-immigration and not moving towards nationalism.

Kasich said, “I think the bulk of the Republican Party — and I’ve been in the party since I was a college student — it’s one that believes in the fact that America has a place in the world, Reagan talked about it, it advances humanity. I agree. I think the bulk of the Republican Party does believe that immigration provides energy to our country.”

He continued, “I think the bulk of the Republican party believes that America is special and has a place in the world to advance freedom and free enterprise and all those things. I think that this move towards nationalism where we are looking inward, has a lot of loud voices but I don’t think it’s the bulk.”

Speak for yourself, Gov. Kasich. You are not speaking for Americans who support LEGAL immigration, not ILLEGAL immigration or amnesty.
