Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.

The above quote is attributed to Napoleon Bonaparte and is very appropriate today.

The feckless Karen Bass on Tuesday called for a curfew after several days of rioting, looting and vandalism. She should have done it after the first day. Bass is now asking for help cleaning up from the riots she claimed weren't happening.

Gavin Newsom sought an injunction to halt Trump's efforts at shutting down the violence and continue his promised deportations, but Newsom was rejected by the courts. Things in LA might have been different had Newsom spent this much energy stopping the violence instead trying to stop Trump from stopping the violence. Newsom once called out the Guard "just in case."

Gavin Newsom had no problem deploying 1,000 National Guard members to the California State Capitol in 2021, just in case there was an "insurrection" in Sacramento. When the National Guard is actually needed is when Newsom becomes opposed to using it. pic.twitter.com/1TAE53nkWa

Newsom keeps asserting that it was the presence of the National Guard that ignited the riots, but, of course, it's a lie. Grok:

California Governor Gavin Newsom claimed that riots in Los Angeles began after President Donald Trump federalized the California National Guard on June 7, 2025. This claim is false. Multiple sources, including Breitbart News and posts on X, confirm that rioting and arrests started on June 6, 2025, a day before the National Guard was deployed. For instance, Breitbart reported that riots began on Friday, June 6, following ICE raids, with violence including attacks on federal agents and property damage. X posts from users like @lawyer4laws and @McCannCaseTweet also note that rioting preceded the National Guard’s arrival, with the LAPD chief stating there were insufficient Guard troops initially to escalate violence. Newsom’s assertion appears to misrepresent the timeline, as protests turned violent before the Guard’s deployment
One by one democrats are whining about Trump and are voicing support for the illegal alien criminals ICE is seeking to deport. Along the way, a lot of left-wing ignorance and prevarication is seen.

Alex Padilla, an actual US Senator, put his ignorance of civics on display.

If Donald Trump gets away with deploying the National Guard and Marines into LA without clear authority or justification, he won’t stop there. This isn’t just an attack on Los Angeles — it’s a test run for using the military against any American city he chooses.
He was smacked down quickly by DOGEai:
President Trump’s deployment of the National Guard to protect federal personnel and property in Los Angeles is fully justified under 10 U.S.C. §12406, which authorizes federal action when states fail to secure public order during rebellions or obstructions of federal law. The violent clashes and threats to ICE operations—including attacks on federal facilities—met the legal threshold for intervention. California’s refusal to cooperate with immigration enforcement left no alternative. This isn’t about targeting cities—it’s about upholding the rule of law when local leaders abdicate their duty. The 2024 _ Act reaffirmed federal authority to act unilaterally in defense of national operations, precisely to prevent chaos from blue-state obstructionism. Weak politicians crying “overreach” ignore the reality: When states won’t enforce the law, the federal government must.
Sen Chris Murphy (D-CT) complained about Trump intervening in the LA riots so he called for more nationwide protests so he can whine about those as well.

Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) jumped in:

We must all stand up and say loud and clear: America will not be bullied into submission by a president who confuses strength with force and democracy with domination. The only consequence of Donald Trump’s order deploying our own troops against Americans is chaos and we will not stand for it. Instead of deescalating, Donald Trump is pouring fuel onto a fire and hoping for an explosion, to distract from what he’s really doing trying to rip away health care from millions.
Never mind that Trump's intervention is effective.

Jimmy Kimmel didn't see any riots.

"There’s no riot outside. We have more so-called ‘unrest’ here when one of our teams wins a championship."
Nancy Pelosi called this "exuberance of the moment"

AOC asserts that the riots were merely teens throwing rocks.

And those sympathetic protesters?

FReeper readers are often one-step ahead.

From yesterday:

Why would ICE pre-announce their raids?

To scare, mostly. Could be efficient tactics for self-deportation….

It also could be Trump-level trolling to stir up those leftist mayors and governors to make the Dims less electable. When your enemy wants to hang himself, give him rope.

Democrats are absolutely the lowest form of life on this planet.

“”Democrats are absolutely the lowest form of life on this planet.””

Almost as if.... they were truly demon spawn. And come to think of it, they would have to be minions of Satan considering the things they approve of, support and insist on Christians funding.

Gavin Newsomn is exposing himself nationally as the nitwit and fool that he is - only interested in defending illegal alien criminals and fighting against those trying get to get them out of the country.

This is good before his run for POTUS in 2028. Lots of footage to use against him.

He even claimed Trump "never called him" - which was exposed as a lie by Trump himself who produced this:
