Newsom’s Nonsense
California Governor Gavin Newsom attempted to address the nation last night on social media. California Democrats can’t seem to do anything right.
We know they can’t build mass transit, adequate housing, or do the basic maintenance to prevent wildfires. Apparently, they can’t even do a live video on X. Newsom’s address was bedeviled by technical difficulties.
The first part of Newsom’s speech had no audio. The second part had an echo, and most of it had no truth. It was lie after lie.
First, Newsom said there was no trouble in Los Angeles until Trump “inflamed a combustible situation” by mobilizing the National Guard. “That’s when the downward spiral began,” the governor insisted.
That’s laughable! No timeline supports what Newsom said, but it’s become one of the Left’s major talking points. The violence started Friday night after leftist demonstrators interfered with federal immigration enforcement operations.
Knowing that Democrats refused to act during the 2020 riots, Trump proactively mobilized National Guard troops Saturday evening as the situation continued to deteriorate. Newsom also said Trump acted without ever calling him first. That’s a lie.
Newsom claimed that President Trump was forcing the military to “put on a vulgar display to celebrate his birthday, just as other failed dictators have done in the past.” That’s a lie.
The First Continental Congress voted to create the Continental Army on June 14, 1775. That is why the Army has always celebrated its birthday – not Donald Trump’s – on June 14th. This year is a special anniversary – the 250th anniversary of the United States Army.
When Newsom calls the duly elected president a “dictator,” he is intentionally doing everything he can to incite more rioting and violence, not only in Los Angeles but across the country.
By the way, one thing we would expect to see a lot of is reporters interviewing the protesters in the streets of Los Angeles. But we’re seeing very little of that. The reason is because the protesters are so out of the mainstream that their socialist, globalist rhetoric would likely alienate the average American.
The Real Insurrectionists
Another “big lie” was Newsom’s claim that because President Trump is enforcing our immigration laws, “Democracy is next. Democracy is under assault right before our eyes – the moment we’ve feared has arrived.”
That’s more “gaslighting.” It’s the exact opposite of the truth.
In 2024, Donald Trump won the biggest GOP Electoral College victory in more than 30 years. He did so by promising to secure our border and enforce our immigration laws.
Enforcing our laws is essential to the rule of law, and that is precisely what President Trump is constitutionally obligated to do.
Enforcing our laws is not dictatorial or anti-democratic. The Left’s demand that we not enforce our laws makes them the real insurrectionists.
A federal judge refused Newsom’s request to immediately order Trump to withdraw the Marines and National Guard troops from Los Angeles. Instead, the judge is giving the administration time to present its arguments, and a hearing is scheduled for tomorrow.
The decision by Judge Charles Breyer is notable as he is the younger brother of retired liberal Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer.
Of course, Judge Breyer may eventually side with Newsom. If so, the Trump administration will immediately appeal. But legal scholars Alan Dershowitz and Jonathan Turley are confident Trump will ultimately prevail.
Some say the 2028 election will be a race between Trump’s handpicked candidate and Gavin Newsom. That will be a race between a candidate committed to enforcing our laws and one committed to ignoring and undermining our laws.
If Newsom wins, it will be the end of America. Our Republic will not survive another invasion of 10 to 20 million illegal aliens.
Better Late Than Never
After five days of violent riots, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass finally decided to declare a curfew from 8:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. to clear the streets at night.
Now, for the past five days, Bass and other leftist pundits and politicians have been telling us that this has been a “peaceful protest” and there’s nothing to worry about. I wonder what changed her mind?
According to the Left, Mayor Bass just stripped away their right of free speech and the right to demonstrate. They can still demonstrate, but not after 8:00 p.m.
They can still demonstrate, but not on a highway. They can demonstrate, but they can’t block federal buildings, throw firebombs, burn cars, or hit cops with concrete blocks.
These anti-law enforcement riots are spreading across the country, all leading up to mass demonstrations planned for Saturday.
In Atlanta last night, the Party for Socialism and Liberation staged a demonstration that turned into a riot when violent Marxists threw rocks and shot commercial-grade fireworks at police officers. The officers immediately deployed tear gas and made several arrests.
Speaking of violent Marxists, Rep. LaMonica McIver was just indicted by a federal grand jury for assaulting and impeding federal law enforcement officers during the mini-riot she and other left-wing politicians instigated at a New Jersey immigration detention center last month. If convicted, McIver faces 17 years in prison.
The media are largely ignoring McIver’s indictment. But the lesson is the same as leftists in Los Angeles and Atlanta are learning. Whether you’re a citizen or an elected member of Congress, you cannot assault law enforcement officers.
Trump Tames Inflation
The consumer price index for May, a key gauge of inflation, was lower than what the “sky is falling” crowd said it would be. Inflation last month increased just 0.1%. Economists were predicting an increase of twice that amount.
On an annualized basis, the inflation rate is around 2.4% -- very close to the Federal Reserve’s 2% target. Under Joe Biden, the inflation rate shot up to 9.1%.
If you open your windows a bit and listen, you will hear wails of mourning by virtually every commentator on CNBC who claims to know economics better than anyone else. But, of course, they are leftists, so virtually everything they say is the exact opposite of reality.
Gas prices are down. Egg prices are way down. Even apparel prices are down. Is there a consumer product in America more vulnerable to tariffs than apparel?
The “experts” have been screaming for months that Trump’s tariffs will cause inflation to skyrocket. So far, the “experts” have been wrong. Maybe it will show up next month.
In the meantime, we need to send a very powerful microscope to the folks at CNBC. They are desperately searching for some bad news, and they just can’t find it.
In other economic news, a new trade deal between the United States and communist China has reportedly been reached. We’ll have to wait and see since communist China has been breaking its deals lately.
Unfortunately, Beijing’s communist party bosses had the high card in this dispute due to China’s monopoly on rare earth minerals. It’s a national scandal that previous administrations of both parties allowed our country to become dependent on communist China for these essential minerals. The level of stupidity is mind-boggling!
Demonic Death Cult
The Satanic Temple (yes, it’s a real thing) is opening up an abortion clinic in Maine this Saturday, which happens to be President Trump’s birthday. It will be named “The President’s Yuge Most Beautiful Tremendous Satanic Abortion Clinic.”
If that wasn’t bad enough, the Satanists are urging women to repeat a specific mantra during their abortions: “By my body, my blood; by my will, it is done.” It’s a mockery of the Lord’s Supper and a demonic celebration of death.
It’s not surprising that Satan worshippers have their own rites that involve the killing of God’s creation in the womb. They’re saying out loud what the philosophy of the “proud abortion” movement is.
For years, many “pro-choice” advocates tried to moderate their image by telling us what “a difficult and agonizing choice it is to terminate a pregnancy.” They said abortions should be “safe, legal, and rare.” They insisted that no one is “pro-abortion.”
In recent years, the Left has totally rejected that “soft approach” and rejected the values of the vast majority of Americans.
Now, they are proudly pro-abortion with no limits whatsoever. They want women to “shout their abortions” and celebrate them. And they want you to pay for them.
