If You Thought Service at Home Depot Was Bad Before...

Ann Coulter  

"But do liberals seriously believe citizens are doing the rioting? (Undoubtedly, antifa is there, but those future-suicide cases would show up at a forest fire to throw gasoline on the flames.)"

"Great news! We finally know how to get liberals to oppose riots. Just say, This is helping Trump!

"Almost immediately after the mostly peaceful protesters (who are mostly Mexican illegal aliens) took to the streets of Los Angeles to engage in Latin American-style protests -- throwing rocks, burning cars, waving Mexican flags, etc. -- the media begged the rioters to stop. (Who knew there was something left to burn in LA?)

"Back when BLM riots were tearing through our country, it was all, Violence is the language of the unheard; People, not property; Riots are joyous and liberatory; Looters are just trying to "feed their child" (that was Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez). Popular Mechanics ran a helpful piece, "How to Topple a Statue Using Science," and the Democrats' future presidential nominee, Kamala Harris, exulted that the protests "are not going to stop."

"But since Donald Trump won the 2024 presidential election (mostly on the issue of immigration), Democrats have been trying to turn over a new leaf by pretending to be normal. With the illegal alien riots driving public support for mass deportations from 60% to about 90%, the media are in major damage control mode.

"The New York Times editorialized, "protesters will do nothing to further their cause if they resort to violence." (During Gay Pride Month, no less!) This is a new position for the Times. Throughout the BLM terror, the paper never quibbled with the smashing, the looting, the burning, the maiming, the killing.

"Similarly, a much-praised (by MSNBC) article in The Atlantic hectored the once-beloved rioters: "Don't give [Trump] the pretext he wants." The advice continued: "As unsatisfying as it may be for some citizens to hear, the last thing anyone should do is take to the streets of Los Angeles and try to confront the military or any of California's law-enforcement authorities." ("Citizens" is a nice touch.)

"Is this because attacking federal law enforcement officers would be wrong? No, of course not. It's because illegal alien riots are exactly what Trump wants! He wants "people walking around taking selfies in gas clouds, waving Mexican flags, holding up traffic, and burning cars."

"After a gratuitous insult -- Trump "is resolutely ignorant" -- The Atlantic credits him with "picking the right fights." Sure, Trump could have sent ICE agents to Fargo, North Dakota, but instead, he's "zeroing in on California," the wily scamp.

"Why would ICE agents go to California to arrest illegals? I think it might be because that's where the illegals are." . . .

The illegals are in California, Newsom is in California, and gated, secure liberals are there also. TD

Victor Davis Hanson [Confronts] Gavin Newsom's Political Career

 Townhall

"Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom has been whining about President Trump deploying the National Guard and the Marines to Los Angeles to quell the unrest. He says it wasn’t necessary, even daring the administration to arrest him. Newsom has been at the forefront of trying to walk this waffled line that the riots in LA are peaceful, but there's also lots of mayhem so don’t take Trump’s bait or something. He doesn’t know what to say or do, which explains how LA has already been set on fire twice this year."

 

Why are Democrats choosing war?  "The Democrat Party’s plan to block the Trump administration from deporting illegal aliens is an act of desperation because Democrats know the opportunity to block him at the district court-level soon will end. Chief Justice Roberts certainly must realize how damaging the bizarre barrage of unconstitutional orders from 677 district judges are. These judges reduce the esteem of the judicial branch of government every time they issue an unprecedented edict, such as demanding the military turn a plane around in midair.

"On Roberts’ watch, approval of the Supreme Court has fallen from a peak of 58% in 2020 to 44% in 2024, according to Gallup. It is a simple matter of logic that you cannot continue to make unpopular decisions and remain popular. Few things are as unpopular as blocking the deportation of illegal aliens who also are violent criminals.

"But, that’s where we are. Democrats are trying to ignite an insurrection by greeting ICE with protests and an occasional brick."   

In Texas and Florida, ICE does its work unimpeded by governors who realize Americans want mass deportations. Democrats chose war. If they were smart, they would already regret it.

 

Such a Joke: LA ‘Riots’ and the Brutal Zionist Kidnaping of Greta Thunberg and Her Hummus for Hamas

American Spectator   

"It’s all a joke. Good for health and recovery. Riots in L.A., Greta on the high seas. Just a joke. Send in the Marines."

Spectator.org

"The thoughts herein have been inspired by my Governor Gruesome Newsom, my Mayor Karen Bass Ackwards, the L.A. “Riots,” and Greta Thunberg. All Comedy Tonight.

"They don’t call the Los Angeles nonsense “Riots” for nothing. As Ralph Kramden would say: “You’re a riot, Alice. A regular riot. Zip-boom to the moon, Alice.” The only thing missing from the contemporary La-La-Land version of “The Honeymooners” is “Alice.” Instead, we have Maxine. A riot, a regular riot.

"Since I live here and am a more reliable reporter of news and facts than are the “legacy news sources” like ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, CNN, MSNBC, the New York Times, and the Washington Post — not to mention the BBC — I share with you here what’s going on and its ramifications. In effect: Nothing.

The LA ‘Riots’

"In a Deep Blue city, populated heavily by Illegals from a particular continent besides North America, you are going to find communists, Marxists, and unemployed woke radicals who rely on society for free handouts so that they need not go to work but instead can be home all day to attend demonstrations. That’s Los Angeles, a city of four million or so. Many people here do go to work. For example, despite my post-lung transplant realities, I work 14-hour days daily, what with providing rabbinic counseling, teaching Torah and other Jewish and Judaic subjects four days weekly to hundreds each week, writing opinion columns, and other stuff. Others on my block practice law, medicine, work in factories, promote sales, and so much more. They and I… work for a living.

"In other L.A. neighborhoods, on other L.A. blocks, people earn their keep instead by sitting all day scrolling through TikTok, emailing and WhatsApping on their phones, and going to political demonstrations. Maniscalco does a wonderful stand-up set about people who spend their time going to demonstrations. How do they afford to live without going to work? Easy. They check their bank accounts to ensure that their weekly or monthly free stipends — their “Entitlements” — have been accurately and timely deposited into their accounts by the government. They are entitled. That pays their tariff. If they wake up with sniffles on a slow news day, they drop by the local hospital emergency room to fill up the chamber with minor ailments since “emergency” room for the “undocumented” basically is free and offers an opportunity to catch up with the local medical professionals. Emergency rooms are forbidden to refuse service based on the legality of a person’s residence or ability to pay. Under the law, they must care for anyone until they are sure the person is “stabilized.” At that point, private hospitals ambulance the stabilized to government-run public hospital emergency rooms, which must take it from there. And that is why, when you have a true medical emergency, you have to wait 13 hours in the emergency room until your case — inability to breathe, uncontrollable vomiting, heartbeat rates galloping wildly from 82 to 39 to 147 to 54 to 135 to 42 — finally merits its moment for attention, after the prior 41 “undocumented” patients have been seen for raspy throats, tickles in their throats, a bruise on their shins, and boredom." . . .

CODEPINK = CODE-RED; They Are Communist, Anti-Israel Agitators, Not Feminists

Ted Cruz Debates Code Pink on Iran Nuclear Deal

 Phyllis Chesler   "Alice Schwarzer, the leading feminist of Germany and the founder of EMMA magazine, introduced the German edition of Women and Madness way back in the early nineteen-seventies. Over the years, I've appeared in Emma's pages as an interviewee; they have also excerpted some of my work.

"Well, she, and her interpreter, Sophie Bettina Flitner, came to see me and a really good time was had by all.

"Given the feminist and lesbian-"queer" hardline positions against Israel, I was thrilled to find out that Alice and I not only agreed on sex-based rights over and above gender-based rights, and on issues such as commercial surrogacy, pornography, prostitution, and on the trans issues--but also on Islamism, women under Sharia law, Islamic Jihad, and the alarming global rise in Jew and Israel hatred.

"We also agreed on the tragic rise of Jew hatred and Israel hatred among so-called feminists. She was happy/disconsolate to discover that what she calls the faux-feminist movement in Germany is much like its sad and sorry counterpart in America and elsewhere in Europe and Australia.

"Please understand: I have both lost and left countless feminist and faux-feminist colleagues and friends. They are completely drunk on every kind of Kool-Aid propaganda. There is absolutely no getting through to them. One of the few real feminists with whom I am still in touch actually just sent me an article written by one of the two CODEPINK Ladies, Medea Benjamin and Jodi Evans, who are funded by far left/Marxist billionaires, and whose position on Israel and Palestine is, in my considered view, far beneath contempt.

"Yes, we are that far apart.

"Neither Benjamin nor Evans is a feminist activist, although many feminists point to them as feminist heroes.

"For example, through her foundation, The Benjamin Fund (assets total $47.9 million), Medea Benjamin has granted funds to American Muslims for Palestine, Amnesty International, US Campaign for Palestinian Rights, etc. In November of 2023, post-Hamas's 10/7 pogrom-on-steroids, CODEPINK organized demonstrations, protests, and disruptions "to demand an immediate end to the brutal siege of Gaza and the cessation of all U.S. aid to Israel--and, that same month, 11/23, they demanded that President Biden "Stop Supporting Israeli Apartheid." CODEPINK got themselves arrested for interrupting a Senate hearing on aid to Israel. They also signed a letter which urged "international support for South Africa's genocide case against the state of Israel.

"Their anti-Israel focus goes on and on. They've partnered with Samidoun and Jewish Voice for Peace (oh please, do check them out); they've also endorsed "Global Days of Action for Palestine." Please read about CODEPINK's long history in my colleague Gerald Steinberg's totally trustworthy report, NGO-Monitor." . . .

What became of the profession known as journalism?

From the website of NYU Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute: 

"Serious journalism begins with an ideal of public service, a commitment to truth, accuracy, and fairness, and a belief that democracy can work if people know what is happening in their world. We believe that a free press plays an essential part in our republican form of government by fostering a healthy marketplace of ideas and helping to hold public officials accountable to the people.

"One part of the journalistic tradition commands the journalist to act ethically and in pursuit of truth. Another part protects the press under the umbrella of First Amendment law. A third strand in that tradition is the long history of journalism and its achievements and struggles. A fourth is the record of great work, the outstanding literature of journalism, which teaches by example. Ethics, law, history, the literature: these weave together to lend depth and direction to the practical training the program offers." . . .

The Federalist: Right Media Scooped Jake Tapper On Joe Biden’s Cheap Fake Presidency   . . ."CNN did Democrats’ dirty work for them, reporting over the years that “Trump’s gaffes should raise questions about his fitness for office” (2018), “Doctors want President Trump’s head examined” (2018) and brought in his political foes as well with “James Clapper questions Trump’s fitness for office” (2017) and Nikki “Haley questions Trump’s mental fitness” (2024).

When a slew of videos went viral last June showing Biden having difficulty in public events, the Washington Post rushed to explain, “How Republicans used misleading videos to attack Biden in a 24-hour period,” echoing the White House assertion that these videos were “cheap fakes.”

Whatever happened to Greta Thunberg?

  Bill Ponton   

"It’s all probably just a phase that she is going through — from climate justice to social justice to Jew-hating and she will soon settle down in her native Sweden, go on the dole and breed the next generation of illiterate Thunbergs. I certainly hope so."
