Are the Protests/Riots Fort Sumter or
a MAGA Sucker Punch?

Original Article

There’s a plausible argument that the current spate of civil unrest in deep blue cities is actually a MAGA setup ultimately benefitting Donald J. Trump. Indeed, the “optics” resemble an over-the-top horror movie for the Democrats: giant Mexican flags brandished over burning car wrecks; chunks of cement dropped on police from freeway overpasses; uncontrolled looting; a curfew ignored; molotov cocktails thrown; childishly scrawled f-word graffiti, and vast arrays of mostly young but physically unattractive people. Where’s the mass appeal in that picture? Hollywood would reject a script like that as unbelievable and disgusting.

The Democrats are more determined than ever to destroy themselves.

I don't think it's Fort Sumpter yet. President Trump seems to be on top of this and is handling it well so far. If we see where he can't deal with it, then yeah, it will be Fort Sumpter all over again. FF

No, this is not a "MAGA Sucker Punch", more like MAGA taking advantage of our foes unforced errors. The liberal media, as well as the Demoncrat Party, embraced this tactic joyfully, willingly, and with malice of forethought. Ever notice how the Democrat logo, a blue "D" inside a circle, looks so much like the Antifa symbol, a red "A" inside a circle? Just a coincidence? I don't think so. Whatever their logo or made up reason to turn violent, both of these groups must be officially determined to be "insurrectionists". It's a scary word. What's good for the goose is good for the gander. MAGA! Remember Ashley Babbit and Roseanne Boyland.

FTA, the last paragraph - "Don’t be surprised if the White House is licking its chops to see “Summer of Love 2.0” mob excesses in blue cities become, as the LA police chief put it, “overwhelming,” so that sending in the National Guard will be seen as prophylactic and preemptive, i.e. stopping the riots before they start. Which then perfectly sets the stage nationwide to invoke the Insurrection Act of 1807 whereby the military’s gloves come off and it engages directly and forcefully in truly mass deportations." Strange times lie ahead. This will be new for all of us. Meanwhile, the dim party as it once was...is dead.

There is nothing plausible about thinking that this is a plan by Trump. This whole mess was instigated by the Democrats when they allowed millions of people to invade our country so they could make slaves of them.

What I have observed about MAGA, has been right here on the pages of L.com, as I tend to eschew sloganeering in this form, having elected to support making America great again by actual public service, dedicated to public safety and national security. When I see MAGA used on these pages, it is typically signaling the like-minded that you belong to the club that unconditionally supports Donald Trump. My favorite president during my lifetime was Reagan, and I didn't unconditionally support him; however, I voted forTrump (x3) and Reagan (x2) in presidential elections. While my view may change if circumstances warrant, I've yet to view MAGA as some type of paramilitary or Black OPS type of outfit. I do not support the author's premise and note that he wrote that he was once a fan of Eugene McCarthy, Bobby Kennedy, and George McGovern.

I frequently see comparisons to the current rioting and property damage to the American Civil War. There is really no comparison. Entirely different reasons. The South merely wanted to secede and, rightly or wrongly, just wanted to go their own way. The only riots then were the draft riots in NYC. The riots were because the men there didn't want to be drafted and sent to the meat grinder in the South. The wealthy could also pay someone else to take their place, and the average citizens were incensed at the unfairness. A black orphanage was even burned to the ground because the rioters blamed the black slaves for causing the war. Lincoln had to move troops from Gettysburg to stop the riots. I don't recall who originated the quote...Twain? Attorney F. Lee Bailey? He said, "You cannot judge the past through the lens of the present".

Sorry, Larry. Not buying your theory. No, the riots are just the latest iteration of the Marxist-CCP drive to push anarchy. The anti-ICE upheaval is just the latest cause de jour. The anarchist demonstrators don’t really care about illegal immigrants being deported or the non-sensical idea that land was stolen from the Mexicans (ha ha ha!). No, this is just the latest blow-up funded by Marxist-CCP agents and their normal dupes. Their dream of sparking a socialist/communist revolution pops up periodically as the cause de jour makes its way to the headlines.

I know that everything that happens is controlled/allowed by God for His purposes.I also know that He has wonderful plans in store for us. We may be shaken from time to time but hold on.......shakings we will experience are to expose and get rid of the enemy and his minions. He's involved in everything. Who could have foreseen how quickly the enemy's favorite political party would come to almost complete collapse? Our country will be just fine....better than fine in fact. That is what I choose to believe.

Karen Bass’s argument that Trump caused the reaction by sending ICE to a “sanctuary city” (“the devil made me do it” defense) is like telling the judge “if the police officer had not tried to stop me, I wouldn’t have led him on a high speed chase.”

The evidence indicates that the origins of the LA riots was a pre-planned, top-down organized op between SEIU and other leftist NGOs. Their trigger was the feds executing a search warrant on an apparel factory in LA with alleged elicit ties to Mexican drug cartels. The ROE for the warrant allows for detention and arrest who could not identify themselves on the premises. They turned out to be illegal aliens. Leftist NGOs were monitoring law enforcement communication traffic at the apparel factory. A suspect woman then showed up at the factory, taking pictures and providing intel. It was then that the Left executed their planned op. First at the factory, then city-wide--but for the wrong assumption.

"focus on those illegal immigrants who benefit our society by their hard work and obeying all laws except the one about why they didn’t legally arrive here." A red herring. How many of the 10+ million that snuck across the border under Biden's residency are hard at work and benefitting society? Further, what is the percentage of people that are providing benefit to society vs. those draining our public support funds? We KNOW it has been a massive drain on Medicaid. Society as we do it REQUIRES the majority of people to be working. If a small percentage needs special assistance, they can be given help without wrecking the country financially. But not, say, 50% of the people in "need". Further, this kind of "only one crime" kind of thinking is dangerous. Suppose a hard working American citizen ran into financial difficulties beyond his control and robbed a bank, "just once", to pay off his bills. Should he be given a "pass" on his crimes? How many people should be allowed this "just once" grace? What laws just be subject to the "just once" consideration? If a man rapes a woman "just once" is his valuable labor a reason to give him a pass on his crime? So much of Leftist thinking is simply WRONG or unsustainable. Yet, there they are, so "dedicated" to their lunacy that they are willing to burn down a city to get their way. MAGA simply means a return to rationality and the enforcement of NECESSARY laws and recognition of fiscal reality. The author's implication that "the White House is licking its chops ... so that sending in the National Guard will be seen as prophylactic and preemptive" and "sets the stage nationwide to invoke the Insurrection Act of 1807" impunes the legitimate goals of the federal government to keep order and enforce law. President Trump would LOVE for the Left to see reason and act lawfully but the Left's actions so far have shown they are incapable of acting this way. Trump's response is a necessary and lawful one.

Common sense will tell you that all illegal aliens must remain subject to arrest and removal (deportation) from the USA. Any sort of “comprehensive immigration reform amnesty” based upon leftist and progressive Democrat false promises to support the effective enforcement of the immigration laws in the future, as were made to fool Reagan and the wimpy congressional Republicans to sign a then massive amnesty for four million illegals aliens back in 1986, will just encourage and invite additional millions of illegal aliens to unlawfully gain entry to the USA in the future, and for the Mexican criminal cartels to find new ways to continue to smuggle unlimited millions of future illegal aliens into the USA, mostly all from the Third World, especially those who can be termed to be members of minority groups in accordance with Democrat identity politics who the leftist and progressive Democrats believe they can transition into becoming socially dependent future leftist and progressive Democrat “New American” supporters and voters, keeping the leftist and progressive Democrats in permanent majority political power to change the current USA into some sort of future socialist utopia. You better believe that’s what the leftist and progressive partisan Democrats are politically angling for in the years ahead.

One has to wonder if our Military has a weapon that will incapacitate the Rioters...like put them to sleep so they can be put in to Paddy Wagons and hauled to the nearest PRISON! I also wonder if there is a device that will launch huge nets to put all the Rioters into one large BAG...then drag them off to PRISON. How about snipers with rubber bullets to take out those throwing rocks/frozen bottles of water/Molotov Devices etc. Once they are down, drag them away!

The battle between the Trump administration and the federal courts on the topic of deportation is intensifying. The outlines are clear. Biden and his corrupt cronies left the U.S. southern border wide open for four years. Estimates vary but it’s likely 8 million illegal aliens crossed the border. But the actual number could be 10 million or higher. Of course, some just came for a better opportunity, but many were murderers, terrorists, rapists, sex traffickers, Chinese spies and every sort of violent low life you can imagine.

Despite landslide victories in 2024 that put Trump in the Presidency and Republicans in control of Congress, Trump’s agenda to reverse the Biden Immigration Invasion is being aggressively blocked by radical activist federal judges…Though Trump’s DOJ has scored reversals in some of the more egregious cases, many federal district court judges still find ways to ignore the higher court rulings. Or they simply order new overreaching temporary restraining orders (TROs) that under court rules ordinarily can’t be appealed for a period as long as 28 days. Then the same or different judge comes along with a new bizarre TRO to keep deportations frozen or derailed. It’s assembly line lawfare.
