CA Governor and LA Mayor Defy the Laws They Once Swore to Uphold
Legal Insurrection "So, how do you stop a riot when the people responsible for maintaining order are standing with the rioters?" You had your chance, California, to get rid of this albatross, but you overwhelmingly chose to keep him. TD
"Fox News contributor Guy Benson noted he had not seen a single shot of the riots that didn’t feature Mexican flags, f-words, or people hurling objects at law enforcement officers."

"What began as outrage over ICE raids spiraled into two days of chaos, with protesters torching vehicles, attacking officers with rocks, and firing explosives at a federal building by Saturday night.

"So, how do you stop a riot when the people meant to maintain order are standing with the rioters? What happens when the city’s mayor and the state’s governor abdicate their responsibilities for public safety and defy the laws they once swore to uphold?
"Well, there should be consequences. And, on Saturday evening, Attorney General Pam Bondi issued a stark warning: “It doesn’t matter if you’re a judge, a member of Congress, or a protestor in Los Angeles: If you obstruct or assault a law enforcement officer, this Department of Justice will prosecute you.”
Newsom Dares Border Czar Tom Homan: ‘Arrest Me. Let’s Go’ . . ."The so-called “protestors” are demanding the release of each individual whom ICE has arrested over the past week. As of 6 p.m. on Sunday night, 11 illegals had been apprehended and a Fox News panel described them as “the worst of the worst.” One of the detainees, for example, was facing charges of battery to spouse, willful cruelty to a child, assault with a semi-automatic firearm, and driving under the influence. Others were charged with second-degree murder, sexual battery, and child abuse.
"Newsom is well aware that the illegal immigrants rounded up by ICE in Los Angeles over the past several days are not “these poor people” who are “just trying to live their lives man, paying their taxes.” They are not the individuals we want in our country.
"The governor—along with most legacy media outlets—has described the protests as “mostly peaceful.” I suppose, if one considers throwing rocks and projectiles at ICE officials, setting cars on fire, and blockading a federal building to be peaceful activities, then that characterization would be appropriate." . . .
UPDATE: Victor Davis Hanson: Gavin Newsom’s ‘Reckless’ Surrender of LA to Foreign National Riots
The Left Is Alienating Its Minority Base
. . ."I’d like to talk about a more sensitive topic today, and that’s this new appearance or this growing—I would call it—reverse racism or racism among some left-wing elite black leaders, politicians, celebrities. I’ll give you a few examples."
"The Episcopalian Church said they would no longer help with refugees because this was racist. Don Lemon went on a profanity-ridden rant about how this is horrible that these white people were coming in, this is disgusting, you shouldn’t be able to do that.
"Not too long ago, Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, talked about how the party might have to nominate “white boys.” Using that “boy,” that’s sort of a deprecatory term that has racial implications. Remember Joe Biden called two of his aides who are African American “boy.” That’s a very prejudicial term to use. And yet, she was using it in the reverse fashion for so-called whites.
"And at the same time she was doing this, another tape surfaced from Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., where she said white men were the most likely terrorists and killers in America. That’s demonstrably untrue.
"So, what am I getting at? I’m getting at the elite—the elite in politics and celebrities—are using this idea of white, white, white, white in a prejudicial manner. It’s very ironic because it’s exactly what we were evolving away from in pursuit of Martin Luther King Jr.’s “content of our character, not color of our skin.” And apparently, they believe because they’re African Americans or they’re left-wing that it’s OK to stigmatize somebody by their race. But of course, it’s not." . . .
Bidengate Is Far Worse than Watergate
"There are many more instances like Tapper’s. These are the crimes of co-conspirators, not true journalists."
"Which is worse: Bidengate or Watergate? Because the most engaged citizens do not yet understand the full extent of the media’s corruption in the Biden scandal, or, for that matter, in Watergate, the vast majority would select Watergate. But a thorough examination of each might change thoughtful minds.
"The national media in Watergate, mainly the Washington Post, distorted the insights of its source, Deep Throat, inflating the bumblings of the unattractive Nixon White House team into the world’s most impactful political scandal. In Watergate, the main harm to the country was media-driven, a “national nightmare,” perhaps weakening the resolve of a Democrat Congress to aid a stranded South Vietnam, but otherwise not directly and materially harmful to the nation.
"Bidengate, on the other hand, saw a criminal-rich and financially straining border invasion; American surrender of $80 billion in advanced military equipment in Afghanistan, along with the world’s most strategically valuable military location, the Bagram Air Base; rampant inflation; an engraved invitation to Vladimir Putin to invade Ukraine; a gratuitous strengthening of theretofore struggling Iran, thus financing barbarity throughout the Mideast; and much more. All of this was arguably the result of a demented president.
"Putting aside comparative harm, isn’t it obvious that Watergate showed an endemically immoral White House, exposed, fortunately, by an energetic, incorruptible media? On the other hand, isn’t Bidengate simply the story of an aging president? How could Bidengate be considered more politically immoral than Watergate, and thus more harmful to our democracy?
'To answer, we should first compare the cover-up involved in each." . . .
The Hard Truth about ‘L’Affaire Chauvin’
“Time for you to write a ‘J’accuse’ piece--naming names.” He was referring to the powerful public letter French author Emile Zola wrote in 1898 damning the people responsible for the wrongful conviction and imprisonment of French Army Captain Alfred Dreyfus four years prior."
"A week or so ago, I received an email from an old friend in the intelligence community—let’s call him “Smiley”—commenting on my research into the case of Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer convicted in April 2021 of murdering chronic felon and drug abuser George Floyd a year prior.
Said Smiley, “Time for you to write a ‘J’accuse’ piece--naming names.” He was referring to the powerful public letter French author Emile Zola wrote in 1898 damning the people responsible for the wrongful conviction and imprisonment of French Army Captain Alfred Dreyfus four years prior." . . .
. . ."What made Zola’s letter so effective, as Smiley suggests, was his willingness to name names, each name preceded by “J’accuse”— “I accuse.” Smiley helpfully included the list of people and institutions deserving their own moment of infamy. Among them are the following." . . . Quoting:
I accuse the media, national and local, of fanning the flames of unrest through their universally uncritical acceptance of the Black Lives Matter narrative based on no more than a snippet of viral video.
I accuse Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison of preserving the narrative by gratuitously withholding the exculpatory police body cam footage until being forced to do so by judicial order.
I accuse Black Lives Matter, Benjamin Crump, and other “civil rights” grifters of encouraging the $2 billion of destruction that followed the video’s release.
I accuse every public official who “took a knee” of assuring that Chauvin and his colleagues—Tou Thao, Alex Kueng, and Thomas Lane—would never find justice in a Democrat city in a Democrat state.
I accuse DC Medical Examiner Dr. Roger Mitchell of successfully corrupting the autopsy report by threatening Hennepin County Medical Examiner Dr. Andrew Baker with ruin if he did not add “neck compression” to the final report. Mitchell volunteered this information in a documented meeting with four Minnesota Assistant Attorney Generals on November 5, 2020.
I accuse the four Minnesota Assistant AGs of failing to share this powerful exculpatory evidence implicit in Mitchell’s testimony with the defense in any meaningful way before the trial.
I accuse the same Dr. Roger Mitchell of potential witness intimidation. While Chauvin’s trial was still in progress, Mitchell enlisted 400 physicians to sign an open letter to Maryland Attorney General Brian Frosh demanding an “immediate investigation“ into the practice of Dr. David Fowler, former Maryland chief medical examiner, after Fowler testified in Chauvin’s defense.
I accuse the understandably frightened Dr. Baker of yielding to Mitchell’s threats and finessing this critical deception about the cause of death through his trial testimony. In a deposition, Hennepin County assistant prosecutor Amy Sweasy testified that shortly after the autopsy, Baker asked her, “Amy, what happens when the actual evidence doesn’t match up with the public narrative that everyone’s already decided on?” Baker found out.
I accuse Hennepin County assistant prosecutors Amy Sweasy and Patrick Lofton of knowing enough about the corruption of this case to withdraw from it—Baker had told them “there were no medical indications of asphyxia or strangulation”—but of lacking the courage to come forward.
I accuse feckless Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey of poisoning the jury pool. Said Frey, “I’ve wrestled with, more than anything else over the last 36 hours, one fundamental question: Why is the man who killed George Floyd not in jail?” He also falsely declared, “That particular technique that was used was not authorized by the MPD. It is not something that officers are trained in on. And should not be used period.”
I accuse Minneapolis Police Chief Medaria Arradondo and Assistant Chief Katie Blackwell of repeating Frey’s lie under oath at trial in spite of the fact that, as Hennepin County Judge Edward Wahl recently acknowledged, the “MPD [Minneapolis Police Department] training materials from 2018-2019 … included images of officers applying knees to the neck or upper back.”
I accuse the Minneapolis City Council of corrupting the trial beyond repair by unanimously voting to award Floyd’s family $27 million while the jury was still in the process of being selected.
I accuse the “respectable” conservative media, FOX News in particular, of remaining silent in the face of this obvious injustice.
I accuse Judge Peter Cahill of undermining Chauvin’s defense by refusing a change of venue, by failing to sequester the jury, by failing to recognize Mitchell’s admission, by preventing the jurors from seeing the exculpatory MPD training materials, and by allowing Arradondo and Blackwell to lie about the training under oath.
I accuse Gov. Tim Walz of letting the rioters burn down much of Minneapolis, including a police station, while he hesitated to send in the National Guard for fear of offending his progressive base.
I accuse Gwen Walz—she who boasted of keeping her windows “open as long as [she] could” during the riots to smell the burning tires—of encouraging her husband’s craven behavior.
