Videos and images taken in Michigan and leaked online by the non-profit group Unicorn Riot show members of the white nationalist group Patriot Front standing around a bonfire preparing to burn Pride flags, Click on Detroit reported.
“We will destroy your symbols of all that you worship. To think we will lay down and perish, you are mistaken. Burn ‘em,” A masked man says as other members of the group drop begin burning the flags. The group of just over a dozen then breaks into song -- the Nazi anthem “Blood and Soil” to the tune of “Auld Lang Syne.”
The video is one of many leaked by the group, had not been previously seen in Michigan before they were leaked. Many of the videos and images are from as far back as 2021. Another video shows Patriot Front member spraying white paint over the eyes and mouth of a Native American man depicted in a mural in Detroit’s Lincoln Art Park.
“Pretty sure this is something Native American related,” a man in the video is heard saying.

“And it’s satanic,” said another.
“If we see a [expletive] Star of David, I don’t care how high risk it is. We’re covering that [expletive] up,” one member said.
The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) Michigan’s Regional Director Carolyn Normandin said that there were more than 163 incidents of white supremacy propaganda reported to their office in 2021. "138 of them were from Patriot Front,” Normandin said. “It’s a big problem.”
“[Patriot Front has] several hundred members across the country. When you say several hundred that doesn’t seem like a lot of people. But when you think about what they’re trying to do, they’re trying to propagandize and espouse racism and antisemitism and intolerance,” Normandin said “It doesn’t take very many people. It just takes dedicated individuals.”
As Click on Detroit points out, hate crimes have been on the rise in major American cities. "In 2022, preliminary police data from at least six metropolitan areas recorded levels not seen since the 1990s, according to a new report by the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism at California State University-San Bernardino," Click on Detroit's report stated.

Rice University Historian Douglas Brinkley on Monday heaped scorn on former President Donald Trump and predicted he would go down as the most criminal of all American presidents.
Appearing on CNN, Brinkley broke down past presidents or presidential candidates who have faced legal consequences, including Eugene Debs and former President Donald Clinton.
However, he said that neither of those men had anything on what Trump is facing.
"What's happening here to Donald Trump is that he is going to be indicted, as an ex-president, it looks like, on a number of felony charges with Stormy Daniels just leading the pack," he said, referring to potential indictments related to Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election and his mishandling of top-secret government documents. "It's all unsavory, it's all confusing. My fear is that there's so many coming around him at once people are going to simply think it's a political takedown."

Brinkley emphasized, however, that these indictments are a reaction to Trump's unprecedented behavior.
"We've never had a president like Trump before, one without military service, one that claimed... to be a businessperson, but really just ran his own father's operation and expanded it," he said. "You know, he is the king of the double impeachment and very likely he will be the first, you know, originator of the double indictment."

Some of the key figures in the protests that turned into the Jan. 6 insurrection don't plan on taking any action against Donald Trump's likely indictment in New York.
The former president expects to face charges as soon as Tuesday in connection with a hush money payout to porn actress Stormy Daniels, but few of his more prominent supporters have taken up his call for protests or other actions against the possibility of his indictment by Manhattan district attorney Alvin Bragg Jr.'s office, reported the Associated Press.
"If you protest in New York City, you will be in the single most hostile jurisdiction in the United States," tweeted "Stop the Steal" organizer Ali Alexander. "There is no law and order. You have no liberty or rights there. You will be jailed or worse. Godspeed if this is your calling."
Alexander added that conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, one of his allies in the "Stop the Steal" campaign, had told him that he would not take any action if Trump was charged.

“We’ve both got enough going on fighting the government,” Alexander wrote. “No billionaire is covering our bills."
Right-wing provocateur Laura Loomer announced Saturday that she was organizing a pro-Trump rally outside Mar-a-Lago, reported the New York Times, but hours later deleted the tweet and instead encouraged supporters to attend his rally in Texas.
"Because I don’t want there to be any issues, upon further thought, it’s best people don’t show up to rally in front of Mar a Lago on Tuesday," Loomer tweeted. "I have deleted the rally post, & I believe it’s best for people to promote President Trump’s first official 2024 rally in Waco instead."
House speaker Kevin McCarthy has vowed to conduct a congressional investigation of Bragg's decision to charge Trump, but he stopped short of echoing the former president's call for protests.
“I don’t think people should protest this," McCarthy said. "I think President Trump, when you talk to him, he doesn’t think that, either."
