White supremacist violence is not new, but in recent years, it has become a primary national security threat in the United States.

Why police officers should be terrified of Kristen Clarke
When Kristen Clarke wasn’t lying under oath to Senators during her confirmation hearing, she was trying her best to mislead them.
For example, Clarke grossly misled Senators during an exchange with Sen. Tom Cotton regarding Jacob Blake, who was shot by a police officer in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Shortly after the shooting, Clarke stated on social media that Blake was unarmed. It is undisputed, however, that Blake had a knife.
When Clarke conceded to Cotton that Blake was armed, the Senator expressed concern that in this and other instances, the nominee jumped, without evidence, to the conclusion that the police acted improperly. It’s one thing, Cotton said, for a citizen in an advocacy role to do so. But police officers throughout America should be terrified of someone with the power of the federal government behind her doing this whenever officers have to use force to protect themselves and the public.
