The L.A. riots and destruction fall under the heading of a foreign invasion.

Of Course It’s Legal: The National Guard Is Doing Its Job—Because Gavin Newsom Wouldn’t  "California Governor Gavin Newsom is playing a dangerous game—one part gaslighting, one part constitutional ignorance, and all parts political theater.

"After violent anti-ICE riots swept through Los Angeles and now San Francisco—complete with federal agents injured, cars torched, and highways blocked by destructive insurrectionists flying the flags of other nations—President Trump exercised his clear constitutional authority and federalized portions of the California National Guard under Title 10.

"Newsom’s response? He called—completely lacking any hint of circumspection—the deployment “unlawful” and “a direct assault on state sovereignty”. He even labeled it “purposefully inflammatory.”

"That’s not just wrong—it’s nearly laughable, save that it actually gives aid and comfort to those wreaking havoc in the streets of his state. And it’s revealing. When a governor refuses to do his duty, he doesn’t get to cry foul when the president steps in to do it for him.

"In fact, it’s the governor’s rhetoric that’s inflammatory. Far from restoring calm and control, it’s throwing fuel on the fire.

"Let’s be clear: the president’s authority to nationalize the Guard is not new, novel, or remotely in question." . . .

When foreign flags are raised on American soil 

 . . . "To consolidate Democrat power, Democrats need foreigners beholden to free stuff.  Now they have several states loaded with these counterfeit voters.  Los Angeles is only the beginning."

What have the ex-presidents said about the 2025 LA riots?   

"Former presidents are seen as elder statesmen, possessing unique moral authority that could signal a bipartisan rejection of the L.A. riots and lawlessness, thus reinforcing the U.S. Constitution.  However, none of the former presidents, including Bill Clinton, George Bush, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden, has publicly condemned the riots marked by violence, looting, and attacks on law enforcement."

"California Gavin Newsom and L.A. Mayor Karen Bass are not silent.  They have consistently issued strong rhetoric against federal actions and the vilification of ICE, which encourages resistance to law enforcement and undermines the rule of law, which is being amplified in the mainstream news.  Such attitudes pose a serious risk, leading to an increase in crime and disorder, endangering public safety, and will spread to other Democrat-controlled cities.

"Clinton, Bush, and Obama were not silent in 2021.  They publicly condemned the Capitol protests by pro-Trump supporters on January 6 of that year, calling them an attack on our democratic values.  They issued their statements on the very day of the event."

"Former Democratic Strategist Dan Turrentine also said on “The Morning Meeting” Monday that the Democratic Party has “lost its mind” based on its reaction to the riots, suggesting members of his party were condoning the rioters’ actions."
