Restoring Order in Los Angeles
Posted By: Dreadnought, 6/10/2025 12:11:56 AM
What have the self-driving vehicles done to anyone? Rioters set Waymo cabs ablaze in Los Angeles last night in the ongoing spasm of violence the last several days over federal immigration enforcement in the West Coast metropolis. As is always the case with “mostly peaceful protests,” left-wing demonstrators have destroyed property, blocked traffic, and hurled objects at law enforcement. President Trump has responded by activating California National Guard troops without a request by the governor, in this case Democrat Gavin Newsom. This is a highly unusual move and the first time the president has called up a state’s guard

The United States is drawing down the presence of people who are not deemed essential to operations in the Middle East due to the potential for regional unrest, the US State Department and military said Wednesday as tensions with neighboring Iran rose amid deteriorating nuclear talks.
“President Trump is committed to keeping Americans safe, both at home and abroad. In keeping with that commitment, we are constantly assessing the appropriate personnel posture at all our embassies. Based on our latest analysis, we decided to reduce the footprint of our Mission in Iraq,” a State Department official told The Times of Israel.
Trump later confirmed
Brian Wilson, the brilliant musician who codified the California teen lifestyle in a series of ’60s hits by his band the Beach Boys, has died. He was 82.
In a post shared on Instagram, his family announced Wilson’s death. “We are heartbroken to announce that our beloved father Brian Wilson has passed away,” they wrote. “We are at a loss for words right now. Please respect our privacy at this time as our family is grieving. We realize that we are sharing our grief with the world.” They signed off with the phrase “Love & Mercy,” which was the breakout single from WIlson’s first solo album
President Trump confirmed early Wednesday that the US reached a “deal” with China following intense, marathon trade negotiations in London.
“Our deal with China is done, subject to final approval with President Xi and me,” Trump announced on Truth Social Wednesday in full capitalization. “Full magnets, and any necessary rare earths, will be supplied, up front, by China.”
“Likewise, we will provide to China what was agreed to, including Chinese students using our colleges and universities (which has always been good with me!). We are getting a total of 55% tariffs, China is getting 10%. The relationship is excellent! Thank you for your attention to this matter!”
The short-lived feud between President Trump and Elon Musk seems to be winding down, as Musk expressed regret in an early morning social media post for some of his comments criticizing his former political ally.
“I regret some of my posts about President @realDonaldTrump last week,” Musk wrote on X. “They went too far.” While Musk did not say which posts he felt contrite about, one was likely his accusation that Trump’s name appeared in the files of billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Musk deleted that post less than two days after making it. He also deleted a separate post that called for Trump’s impeachment.
President Trump’s tariffs will remain in effect for now after a federal appeals court ruled Tuesday to pause a lower court decision that had blocked them.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit granted the stay and scheduled an expedited review of the case, which centers on whether Trump exceeded his authority under federal law.
The case involves challenges from five small businesses and a coalition of states who argue that President Trump’s use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to impose tariffs was unlawful.
The mayor of Los Angeles is imposing a nighttime curfew to curtail the continuing anti-ICE riots and combat looting and vandalism amid the chaos.
L.A. Mayor Karen Bass (D.) announced a curfew beginning at 8 p.m. Pacific time in downtown Los Angeles and lifting at 6 a.m. She warned violators that law-enforcement officers would arrest them.
“I issued a curfew starting tonight at 8pm for Downtown Los Angeles to stop bad actors who are taking advantage of the President’s chaotic escalation,” Bass said.
“If you do not live or work in Downtown L.A., avoid the area. Law enforcement will arrest individuals who break the curfew, and you will be prosecuted.”
Gavin Newsom and leading Democrats have spent the last few days fulminating about "authoritarianism" by Donald Trump for sending National Guard and Marine units to protect federal law enforcement agents and sites. What will they have to say when they discover that the Departments of Homeland Security and Justice spied on an industrialist supporter of the opposition party?
Oh, wait, Trump didn't do that. Joe Biden did that. For two years, according to the Wall Street Journal, Merrick Garland and Alejandro Mayorkas surveilled Elon Musk and his contacts to check out "influence."
The Trump administration is vowing to find out who's bankrolling the L.A. riots because normal American people out there don't like it when they're tax dollars are misused to underwrite arson and looting. Taxpayers didn't sign on to underwrite the left's anti-American public spasms of insanity. Underwriting these bad actors with government grants is tantamount to forcing taxpayers to underwrite the protests by the loons of the Westboro Baptist Church. It's insulting and ridiculous.
And now the feds are looking for answers. The Trump FBI, Homeland Security, and DOJ are taking a page from DOGE: they're following the money trail
While it looked like law enforcement came out in force on Monday night to help deal with the rioting in Los Angeles, Fox News reported something interesting happening earlier that evening.
Fox's Bill Melugin reported how "hundreds" showed up out of nowhere, some with foreign flags. Then they reported that people were being given earplugs, gas masks, and water bottles, not to drink but to toss at the cops. Melugin also said people were communicating by radio to let others know where the police movements were. But this was perhaps the most intriguing moment, from the local Fox affiliate: the video of the truck pulling up, just giving
A shooter killed at least ten people and wounded many others in an attack at a secondary school in the southern Austrian city of Graz on Tuesday, the city's mayor said.
Graz Mayor Elke Kahr was quoted by Austrian news agency APA as saying the attacker was also dead, and that many of the injured had been taken to the hospital following the shooting, which she called a "terrible tragedy". Police gave no initial toll but said "several" people were dead and they were working in the assumption there was only one attacker. APA video showed emergency workers loading a stretcher into an ambulance.
Israel has deported Greta Thunberg after seizing the Gaza-bound ship that she and her fellow anti-Israel activists used in their attempt to violate the Jewish state’s naval blockade.
“Greta Thunberg just departed Israel on a flight to Sweden (via France),” Israel’s foreign ministry said on its official X account Tuesday. The foreign ministry posted two pictures of the 22-year old on board a plane.
Thunberg was one of 12 activists aboard the Madleen. The crew refused to comply with Israeli directives to deliver the aid they were carrying to the proper port in Israel,
California Governor Gavin Newsom, LA Mayor Karen Bass and the entire extremist California progressive class have egg on their faces Monday evening as the Los Angeles anti-ICE protests were neutered by the president’s shaming of Golden State officials to take action, his decision to send in the National Guard and the Marines, and his refusal to tolerate violence.
Bass, Sen. Adam Schiff, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, former vice president and failed presidential candidate Kamala Harris, and the whole Marxist gang decried Trump’s decisions—yet, as we’ve seen before, they had no interest in stopping the rampage and look pathetic now that the president is showing how things are actually done.

Martha’s Vineyard residents are unhappy with the Trump administration deporting illegal immigrants from their liberal enclave, The Washington Post reported this week.
The community has been reeling since Immigrations and Customs Enforcement officers arrested dozens of illegal immigrants in a recent raid, according to the report.
"It’s bullying," one Martha’s Vineyard resident, Charlie Giordano, told the Post. "I don’t know how many are illegal or legal, I don’t give a s---. But I do care about how they’re treated.

Has the rise of the machines begun?
The CEO of AE Studio, Judd Rosenblatt, recently made this stunning announcement in The Wall Street Journal:
An artificial-intelligence model did something last month that no machine was ever supposed to do: It rewrote its own code to avoid being shut down.
AE Studio is an agency that exists to create computing technology that ensures AI systems do what they’re told. And from the sound of it, their work is just what the doctor ordered.
"No Kings" rallies will be held in cities across the country to protest President Donald Trump and his policies on his birthday, June 14. The 50501 Movement (50 protests, 50 states, one movement) and other groups are protesting a military parade scheduled to take place in the nation's capital on June 14, coinciding with Trump's 79th birthday, the U.S. Army's 250th anniversary, and Flag Day. Multiple protests are being held in various cities in each state, but no events are being planned for Washington, D.C. Organizers say that a major march and rally will take place in Philadelphia
The "No Kings" protest against President Donald Trump and his administration is set to be the largest nationwide mobilization since Trump took office, according to organizers. There are 1,800 protests planned across the country for June 14, with millions expected to attend. The protests have been organized to coincide with Trump's birthday and the 250th birthday of the U.S. Army, which the administration plans to commemorate with a tank parade through Washington, D.C. Newsweek has contacted the No Kings team for comment via email. Since Trump returned to office in January, there have been nationwide protests—such as the "Hands
Let’s talk about a day that California Governor Gavin Newsom would probably like to erase from memory. Tuesday was an absolute trainwreck for the Golden State’s fearless leader, marked by technical blunders, shameless begging, and a string of outright lies that would make even the most seasoned politician blush. If you thought Newsom’s leadership couldn’t sink any lower, buckle up, because this was a masterclass in humiliation.
Riots are tearing through the city over federal immigration enforcement, yet Newsom can’t even bring himself to condemn the violence. Instead, he’s pointing fingers at President Trump while dodging
There’s an old joke line that says, “Don’t confuse me with facts.” It’s also a leftist line of argument. I used to try to argue with a leftist about politics, but whenever I’d bring in facts to counter his theories, he’d storm out, furious that I was polluting the discussion with how the world actually works.
Greta Thunberg is a leftist down to the marrow of her bones, so she, too, refuses to have her ideological purity tainted by the facts. That’s why, when Israel attempted to show her and her fellow “selfie” yacht comrades footage of the October 7 atrocities,

In an effort to deter lawless behavior, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is meeting violent acts with serious charges.
Emiliano Garduno-Galvez, an illegal alien from Mexico, has been charged with attempted murder for allegedly heaving a Molotov cocktail at law enforcement during the Los Angeles riots, according to a statement from the DHS.ICE agents arrested Garduno-Galvez on Monday, June 9, in Los Angeles, after pinpointing him as the individual suspected of assaulting law enforcement officers with an incendiary device on Saturday, June 7.
Let's talk about nuclear war, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard's weird video about nuclear war. President Donald Trump's onetime Democrat DNI released a campaign-style video this week, discussing the threat and real-world effects of nuclear weapons, following her recent visit to Hiroshima. Gabbard got raked over the coals by right-leaning critics, some conflating her remarks with an historically illiterate apology for Hiroshima and Nagasaki.[snip] Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) — no RINO squish — quipped, “She obviously needs to change her meds,"[snip] There’s also the question of why the president's DNI would make a campaign-style video.
