The National Guard was called in to California to protect law enforcement officers who are executing legitimate operations from the feral mobs. Had the previous president fulfilled his constitutional duty, as he promised he would when he took the oath of office, the spasm of violence over illegal immigrant arrests would have never happened, and President Donald Trump would have never had to make that call.
The scenes in Los Angeles are disturbing. An assortment of thugs, screeching harridans, and nothing-else-to-do troublemakers have been blocking and physically confronting officers, hurling bricks and rocks at them, setting fire to private property, destroying taxpayer-owned property, taking over streets, looting, and terrorizing businesses.
Protests? An exercise in free speech? It feels like an insurrection. Or maybe an invasion, since some of the agitators have waved foreign flags. Or an attempted blue massacre. Whatever the terminology, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass admits that if the administration weren’t enforcing the law, there would have been no “disorder.”
Andy Ngo, who has for years documented violent mob behavior (and been a victim of it), sees what many fear, yet some (let’s call them Democrats) want.
“If the political violence continues in Los Angeles,” he says, “it will be used to galvanize and inspire far-left extremists and Antifa cells across the country to incite anti-government insurrections in different cities. What we are witnessing now is almost exactly what happened five years ago. The same networks and militants are involved. It is their same playbook.”
The lawlessness has already spread to San Francisco, where nearly 150 have been arrested and two officers hurt. The police said some protesters “became violent and began to commit crimes.”
Apparently, the rioting is being funded by taxpayers, and there is reportedly a connection with Kamala Harris, the vice president and “border czar” from the previous White House.
We reached this point because over the four years of Joe Biden, the border was, as a matter of policy, not secured. It was more sieve than barrier. In April 2021, Politico reported that “the early months of Biden’s administration have been shadowed by a major increase in immigration.” Border agents had encountered “more than 100,000 people attempting to cross unauthorized in February and more than 170,000 in March, a 15-year high.”
While campaigning for the 2020 election, Biden “pledged a 100-day moratorium on deportations after taking office,” reported CNN, “promised to protect sanctuary cities from federal law enforcement agencies,” and declared the country “could afford to take in a heartbeat another 2 million.”
A June 2022 Senate Foreign Relations minority report noted that “illegal migration” had “reached astronomical levels since the Biden administration entered office.”
According to Homeland Security, “Under Biden, the average number of monthly border encounters was nearly 160,000. The daily average peaked at 15,000. In total,” U.S. Customs and Border Protection “recorded approximately 11 million border encounters over the course of Biden’s four years.”
Illegal border crossings averaged more than 51,00 a month over the last four months of 2024, then fell to fewer than 15,000 a month for the first quarter of 2025, and that includes the last 20 days of the Biden administration when migrants were hurrying across the border before Trump took office.
Overall, “about 5.4 million migrants crossed into the U.S. illegally over the past four years,” the Washington Examiner’s Paul Bedard wrote in March, “making former President Joe Biden the record-holder for the worst border enforcement ever.”
Simply put, Biden left Trump with a monumental mess to clean up, a dirty job voters said they wanted Trump to carry out. Had Biden been responsible rather than malicious, there would be no reason for the arrests that the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents are making, and the violence that has followed the apprehensions.
These are the Joe Biden riots.
After losing the election, I am sure the Biden staff were doing all of that money funneling to NGOs to fund these violent acts.
Some are saying stand down, it’s a trap.
Perhaps,
But are we just to let them destroy until they tire of it?
I will not go down there, but rather resolve to defend my home.
I’m too old for some of this nonsense.
Same boat as you. I’m past that age where I could have protested the Vietnam war or considered abled body now. I was trained with a high powered scope for Vietnam and still am accurate at 1,000 yards, so you idiot lefts beware. If you come into my city within 1,000 yards of my house, you will not be walking out.
5 Million in the Last 4 Yrs-—
That’s Great Work for these commie Basturds.
