Issues & Insights was founded by seasoned journalists of the IBD Editorials page. Our mission is to provide timely, fact-based reporting and deeply informed analysis on the news of the day -- without fear or favor.
We’re doing this on a voluntary basis because we believe in a free press, and because we aren't afraid to tell the truth, even if it means being targeted by the left. Revenue from ads on the site help, but your support will truly make a difference in keeping our mission going. If you like what you see, feel free to visit our Donations Page by clicking here.

This is a superficial cartoon, not worthy of any realistic idea. No, Antifa did NOT “make those who breached the capitol do it”. However, when law and order breaks down in the way many democrat mayors and governors allowed it to break down by ordering the police to stand down while looting and arson were going on in our cities, it does give the fringe element, no matter what their political persuasion is, the idea that political violence is allowed. It’s only human nature that the extreme of either side takes the next step in imitation of each other. This cartoon is completely superficial and only adds to the sorry division because it doesn’t get at the root of what has been going on for months and months. In fact, this cartoon is asinine!!!
