“This Is Treason”: Democrat Mayor Faces Fire after Encouraging City to Rise Up against Trump [WATCH]
American Tribune ^ | September 03, 2025 | Will Tanner

Posted on 09/03/2025 7:43:46 AM PDT by Red Badger

In a bonkers, incredibly irresponsible speech given in the wake of news that hundreds of DHS agents are being deployed to his city to crack down on illegal immigration and thousands of National Guard troops could be deployed to crack down on crime, as is currently ongoing in DC, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson encouraged his city to rise up and defend itself against President Trump.

As background, the fury from Johnson began with President Trump, commenting on the situation in DC and where will be next, saying, “To me, D.C. is very exciting and a lot of people say, ‘Whoa, where’s he going from there?’ Well, I have calls from politicians begging me to go to Chicago, begging me to go to New York, begging me to go to Los Angeles.” He also said, “Chicago is a mess. You have an incompetent mayor, grossly incompetent, and we’ll straighten that one out probably next.”

Adding to that, he claimed that Chicago’s residents are calling for him to take that momentous step and solve their city’s massive crime problem. He claimed, “That’ll be our next one after this, and it won’t even be tough. And the people in Chicago … are screaming for us to come … so I think Chicago will be our next and then we’ll help with New York.”

Further news established not only that the Pentagon has been planning a trooper deployment to Chicago for weeks, but that hundreds of DHS agents are being deployed to Chicago to deal with the illegal immigration situation. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said, announcing as much, “We’ve already had ongoing operations with ICE in Chicago and throughout Illinois and other states, making sure that we’re upholding our laws. But we do intend to add more resources to those operations.”

In response to all of that, Brandon Johnson went berserk. Giving an irresponsible and speech in which he called on Chicagoans to “defend” their city from President Trump and insisted that Chicago was built by slaves, a patently absurd and untrue statement. He began by angrily asking the mutinous crowd, “Are you prepared to defend this land?!”

He continued by insisting that Chicago, a city built by free economic immigrants who mainly saw it as a speculative opportunity to profit from agricultural sector growth, was built by American Indians and slaves. He said, “This land that was built by slaves, a land that was built by indigenous people, a land that is built by workers?”

Then, returning to the matter of the crowd deciding to “defend” Chicago from federal agents who want to crack down on crime and illegal immigration, he said, “Are you prepared to defend this land? The people united will always prevail. I need you all to stand firm, to stand strong if this president decides to continue to break this constitution.”

The Daily Wire’s Matt Walsh brilliantly exposed Mayor Johnson in a fiery post on X, saying, “1) This is treason. Brandon Johnson should be arrested, charged, convicted, and then given the requisite punishment for a capital offense. 2) Chicago was not in any sense built by ‘slaves and indigenous people.'”

The Mayor is himself RESPONSIBLE
for the 13,666 SHOT this year in Chicago.
He should be jailed for allowing the murders to continue.

Shot & Killed: 245
Shot & Wounded: 1121
Total Shot: 1366

IMHO, this is inviting Trump to exercise his Article 2 powers, if Johnson gets enough rubes to 'rise up'.

Boasberg et al best tread carefully if that happens, and I would say the mockingbirds should as well.

The Naval Training Center has been in Illinois for too long. Trump needs to move it to some other place that could use the jobs.

Enemies foreign and/or domestic ending up with titles like ‘ Mayor,Governor,Senator, Congressman/woman, President, etc, may not be the best practice, but we pull it off.

Bring it back to Florida...............

The Naval Training Center (NTC) in Orlando, Florida, closed in phases, with the final operations ceasing on April 30, 1999. The closure was part of the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) Commission process, which involved shutting down various components of the base, including the Recruit Training Command and Naval Hospital in March 1995, and the Navy Nuclear Power Training Command in December 1998.

The US does need a staging area for federal troops in these rebel blue states if the Dems try a Ft Sumter again.

I think they are terrified of what the Trump administration will find behind all of the violence just like they did in DC.
The web of drugs and such are all across the country and meet there in Chicago.
