Foreign flags fly in LA anti-ICE riots — – Latest News
The minute the international flags got here out in the violent anti-ICE protests in LA over the weekend, that’s when Donald Trump received the ethical high ground.
An iconic image displaying a masked man on a motorbike circling a burning car whereas holding aloft a giant Mexican flag in opposition to a backdrop of black acrid smoke and a row of police automobiles captured the temper. It was the “Summer of Love” throughout again — and America has had a gutful.
The president couldn’t have requested for a higher commercial for his robust border insurance policies. He at all times mentioned that the tens of millions of unlawful aliens who swarmed over the border below Joe Biden was an invasion, and right here have been the invaders making his level for him.
As a consequence, the Democrats have no ethical standing. They are moored in no man’s land, proudly owning Biden’s invasion and the violent masked agitators waving any flag however America’s. They own the arson and looting and assaults on police and federal brokers. They own the funding mechanisms for the rent-a-riots which are traced back to their donors and their corrupt donations platform, ACT Blue.
Now that Elon Musk has gone, their avenue muscle has moved from torching Tesla dealerships to attempting to dam deportations.

Dems decide shedding battle
Their poster boy is Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the unlawful alien gangbanger they tried to repackage as innocent “Maryland Man” and rework into their newest George Floyd martyr. Too unhealthy.
Their lawfare may need gotten him un-deported from El Salvador, and back on US soil. But now we see more clearly who he’s, and the Trump administration’s choice to deport him appears even more justified. The Department of Justice has charged him with human trafficking of hundreds of unlawful aliens, together with kids and MS-13 gang members. Federal prosectors allege he’s an MS-13 member, too, and “participated in violent crime, including murder,” trafficked kids, firearms, and narcotics and “abused” girls below his control.
Attorney General Pam Bondi outlined disturbing extra allegations final week that are being investigated, that he “solicited nude images and videos of a minor [and] performed a function in the homicide of a rival gang member’s mom. [He] is a hazard to our neighborhood.
This is the ditch Democrats have chosen to die in.
As federal brokers have been being attacked by violent mobs throwing rocks and Molotov cocktails, slashing tires and setting automobiles alight, Mayor Karen Bass sided with the criminals: “As mayor of a proud city of immigrants . . . I am deeply angered” by ICE officers’ actions, she mentioned in a assertion. “We will not stand for this.”
Presumably below her orders, the LAPD waited two hours earlier than aiding beleaguered ICE brokers Friday, sending the now-familiar Democrat signal to the rioters to do their worst. We noticed the identical in 2020, from Kenosha to Seattle.
So President Trump mobilized the National Guard the subsequent day.
“These Radical Left protests, by instigators and often paid troublemakers, will NOT BE TOLERATED,” he mentioned on Truth Social.
“If Governor Gavin Newscum [Newsom], of California, and Mayor Karen Bass, of Los Angeles, can’t do their jobs, which everyone knows they can’t, then the Federal Government will step in and solve the problem, RIOTS & LOOTERS, the way it should be solved!!!”
Trump has realized the lesson of 2020 and no longer has to deal with turncoats in his own administration. This time, regardless of the complicity of California authorities, the rioters are going through overwhelming resistance. Trump just isn’t about to let town that is because of host the FIFA World Cup subsequent yr and the 2028 Olympics descend into chaos.
He has “zero tolerance” border czar Tom Homan and unflinching Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem backing him. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is ready to convey in Marines from close by Camp Pendleton. Treasurer Secretary Scott Bessent pounded Newsom on Sunday, accusing him of “threatening to commit criminal tax evasion” and warning of dire penalties.
The Trump Cabinet is united and energized.
Don presses ahead
“You’re going to see some very strong law and order,” the president advised reporters Sunday en path to Camp David to satisfy with generals and admirals about “a very major subject.”
The riots have been high of thoughts: “If we see danger to our country and to our citizens, we’ll be very, very strong in terms of law and order.”
He was significantly disgusted by the tactic of protesters spitting in the face of federal officers. “I have a little statement: ‘They spit, we hit.’ . . . Nobody’s going to spit on our police officers. Nobody’s going to spit on our military, which they do as a common thing. They get up and they start spitting in their face. That happens, they get hit very hard . . . We’re going to have troops everywhere. We’re not going to let our country get torn apart.”

He additionally warned, “If officials stand in the way of law and order . . . they will face charges.”
Law and order is what voters selected in November, and their good sense has been vindicated ever since.
Now, a majority of Americans assume the nation is heading in the right direction for the primary time in Rasmussen polling historical past. Under Biden, in November 2024, the numbers have been reversed. Only 26% mentioned the nation was heading in the right direction, whereas 63% mentioned improper observe.
Trump is shifting forward relentlessly, dragging in investment trillions, attempting to finish two wars, bullying and schmoozing international leaders, bending Congress to his will, bulldozing each impediment in his path, together with the unlucky Musk, whereas enthusiastically planning a new White House ballroom.
Despite the tempo of change, his job approval is as high or larger than most of his predecessors on the identical level.
A clue to why Trump’s reputation is defying gravity comes from a fly-on-the-wall documentary sequence, “Art of the Surge,” about his historic return to the White House. It’s now in its second season and has been snapped up by Fox Nation, which started streaming it Wednesday night time. The project has been a labor of love for Tucker Carlson’s former longtime producing associate, Justin Wells, who has been shadowing Trump for nearly a yr.
From the Butler, Pa., assassination attempt to the opening scene of Season Two, in which Trump learns how to cook French fries at McDonald’s, Wells secured historic behind-the-scenes entry that no candidate, not to mention a president, has ever granted. But Trump is an open e-book, essentially the most accessible president in historical past.
The consequence may need been disastrous for his image, however he’s such a showman and so good at referring to people that even essentially the most Trump-deranged viewer must grudgingly admit he has charisma.
And that’s the downside for Democrats. They have no concepts besides to keep demonizing Trump, and the nation has stopped listening.
