  • There Is No Justice In Saint Paul

    LInwood “Woody” Kaine was part of an illegal “counterprotest” that devolved with all the spontaneity of a Hillary Clinton flash mob into an organized, violent attack on “March 4 Trump” rally attendees last. Kaine was originally charged with “obstructing the legal process” –  a gross misdemeanor – as well as “fleeing a police officer” and…

  • Conundrum

    SCENE:  Mitch BERG is walking out of the Riverview Theater in south Minneapolis.  Surrounded by hipsters and hippies as far as the eye can see, he tacitly wonders what the hell all these pretenders have done with his old neighborhood.   As BERG approaches the door, Avery LIBRELLE walks in, early for the next showing of…

  • When Making Your Weekend Plans

    I’m going to be doing a special Northern Alliance Radio Network this weekend. I’ll be doing a show about “Anti”-Fa, the self-styled “anti-fascist” thugs who are, in point of fact, worse – more violent, more toxic, more corrupting at this point in American history – than the “facists” they pretend to “attack”… …when they’re not…

  • Let The Great Retraction Begin

    There must have been a poll showing that voters don’t, in fact, thing of “Anti”-Fa / the “Black Bloc” as anything but a bunch of pampered snowflakes; the left is starting to distance themselves from them. The mayor of Berkeley – which has all but packed box lunches for the Blackshirts in recent months –…

  • Remember After Charlottesville…

    …when a phalanx of liberal bobbleheads chanted “If you don’t denounce Nazis, that must mean you support them?” [1] OK, “progs”.  Your turn.  Sound off like you got a pair.

  • News Conferences I’d Love To See. And Participate In.

    SCENE:   Press conference where a Free Speech Rally is being announced for the Minnesota state capitol grounds.   A group of reporters is questioning the organizers of the rally – Madison JAMES, Tyrone JEFFERSON, and Jorge WASHINGTON. WASHINGTON:   …So to sum up, we will hold our Free Speech rally at precisely noon.  We…

  • The President Was Too Even-Handed About Charlottesville

    Back in the eighties, I interviewed a group called the “Backroom Anarchist Center”. They were a bunch of dissipate university students who had a clubhouse in South Minneapolis, and used to roam about demonstrating against stuff – provided it was conservative stuff. I booked several of their leaders on my old KSTP show, which ran…

  • Tribes

    I’ve run into some people since the Charlottesville episode who’ve been rationalizing “Anti”-Fa; basically, the line is “they’re thugs, but they’re thugs who beat up people I don’t like”.   I’m not saying people who believe this are people who want to bring on tyranny.   Just that any tyrant is going to need society…

  • Charlottesville Was The Goal All Along

    If you wrap your politics in Nazi trivia, you deserve to be marginalized.  And if you drive your car into a bunch of protesters (who are not a current threat to you), you pretty much deserve to spend a couple of decades in prison. With that out of the way, let’s get down to business. The Original…

  • Because Katy Perry Doesn’t Do That Much Politics, Really

    I try to be civil. I truly do. But John Fugelsang is the one person on this entire planet that saves Samantha Bee from the title of “Most Vapid Pundit On Planet Earth”. Seriously – Fugelsang, whose qualifications as a public intellectual seem to begin and end at “hairdo”, has already earned himself a Berg’s…

  • Like Father, Like Son

    Remember when Tim Kaine – Hillary Clinton’s Veep nominee – told liberals to get out in the streets and fight Republicans (which his son took seriously)? Either does the media…

  • I’ll Probably Feel A Whole Lot Better When You’re NARN

    Today, the Northern Alliance Radio Network – America’s first grass-roots talk radio show – is on the air! Today on the show: They put the “Fa” in Antifa Dreamsicles everywhere, and nowhere. Don’t forget – King Banaian is on from 9-11AM on AM1440, and Brad Carlson is  on “The Closer” edition of the NARN Sundays from 2-3PM. So tune in the…

  • Lie First, Lie Always: The City Pages – Making It Up As They Go Along

    The City Pages, 1997:   Solid (if solidly-left-of-center) reporting, a keen eye on local events (at least in Uptown, Downtown and Dinkytown), and some investigative reporting that shamed the local dailies. The City Pages, 2017:  Creeping on Facebook pages, calling it “news”. Mike Mullen – who we’ve encountered before – found a Facebook post which…

  • The Moral Flexibility Of Today’s Left, Illustrated

    On the one hand, you support – or at least sympathize with – “Antifas”,  By Any Means Necessary, ACT UP, the Chavezistas, ALF and ELF, the people who pepper-sprayed and physically attacked a peaceful Trump rally at the MN State Capitol twice… …but you’re mortified that Greg Gianforte pushed a reporter who’d grabbed him. (With…

  • There Will Come A Day When Berg’s Seventh Law Is Required Reading In All Classrooms

    Bit by bit, some liberals are getting it. John Kass at the ChiTrib?  He seems to have figured out the Big Lie of the Big Left: The lie we were told as kids was this: The end of American liberty would come at the hands of the political right. Conservatives would take away our right to…

  • The Minnesota Left’s War Against Women Who Think For Themselves

    I noticed this late last week; Buzzfeed noting that the GOP is working on a national level to turn the Democrats’ “War on Women” rhetoric back in their faces: After enduring an election year in which the Obama campaign advanced a largely successful narrative that the GOP’s platform was anti-woman, the Republican National Committee has…
