Waiting for an atrocity
American Thinker ^ | 20 Jan, 2026 | J.R. Dunn

Posted on 01/20/2026 5:35:49 AM PST by MtnClimber

With the attack on the Cities Church, the Minnesota Nice lefties have crossed a clear line. They’re no longer tribunes of the people, defenders of the oppressed, or speakers of truth to power. No…. now they’re living a dream. They’re giving full expression to their fantasy lives as Bolsheviki storming the Winter Palace, Red Guards liquidating the bourgeoisie, and Khmer Rouge cutting down everybody they come across, with all that implies -- terror, violence, destruction, and bloodshed.

So we hear the cries of “why won’t Trump do something…” Why doesn’t he make his move? Why doesn’t he send in the 101st the way Ike did? Why doesn’t he federalize the state National Guard? Why doesn’t he declare martial law, clean out the streets, and send the cosplay Bolshis back to their dorms?

The answer to that it simple: he needs an atrocity.

Now, from our point of view, this has already happened, and in spades. Since the Renee Good shooting (in which as we know, though too many others don’t, an ICE agent was run down and sent to the hospital) we have seen plenty. We have seen ICE officers attacked with shovels, iceballs, bottles, and explosives. We’ve seen hotels besieged and shut down. We’ve seen ordinary citizens stopped, interrogated, and threatened in the streets for driving a doubleplusungood SUV (more Red Guard cosplay here.) We’ve seen government vehicles wrecked and looted, including the theft of an FBI rifle – by a Tren de Agua member, no less. We’ve seen the lefties assault and severely beat one of their own. (He was rescued by ICE agents. Of course he was.) And we’ve seen a church disrupted in the middle of services, its congregation and pastor abused and threatened, with Don Lemon, that stalwart successor to Edward Murrow, present

That doesn’t matter. California is no longer America and is not really our concern.

Don't let the results of crooked elections fool you. California, as still in the USA, will become a Natural Law object lesson in Federalism. Let the Democrats learn that object lesson, good and hard.

The mob interrupting a Sunday church service should make the blood of normal people boil. However, the biased media lens has softened what should have been a major backlash. Sadly it will take some major atrocity to wake people up. Burning and looting are coming as the left is unleashed.

Sorry Minneapolis. Trump is too busy trolling and taunting Denmark to pay attention to your self induced problems.

Mr. GG2 and I were saying the same thing. Trump is waiting for some to get beaten to death in the streets. Maybe an ICE officer.

So here is the question I posed to my wife last night. Just what percentage of Minnesotans or the country for that matter is in step at some level with the crazies in Minneapolis? Are they a fringe 5% or do they have at least some backing from say 50% of the populous? That number makes a big difference. If most people are normal people appalled at what is going on your options are much more numerous. If these people in the streets are just the public manifestation of millions sitting at home supporting them in principle we have a huge problem.

At present and for the foreseeable future, the citizens of California have lost control of their destiny. They are Californians that have been removed from America. The citizenry has no effective means to resist.

The Governor and the legislature have successfully transformed the once American state into the progressive utopian sanctuary they envision for all of America.

The realization of this very disturbing fact is that significant lots of people and businesses are leaving. The state is losing the very means to support the change that has occurred. The sanctuary that is California is going to experience terrible disruption during 2026 and perhaps longer.

Before the ressurection, there must first be death

I don't disagree at all.

That's why I have been preparing elements of California's resurrection, a synthesis of private property rights and environmental management. If only I could get conservative politicians to listen. Unfortunately, the political consultants of this world have taught them not to "go there."

It is our concern. How do you like the idea of being boxed in by communist controlled Canada, a cartel controlled Mexico, and California sold off to CCP China? Keir Starmer just allowed China to create a spy station in Britain. We will have that in California in spades, ports controlled by China, the works. Very short sighted comment.

The problem with allowing the DNC terrorist city state to burn is that they use them as FBOs to spread the invasion. POrtland in the 90s was the beach head to the communist Rose City Antifa. They are now nation wide. A few Somalis were dumped in Minnidishu in the 90s. Now they have a nation wide fraud and criminal networks. A few illegals were allowed to thrive in SoCal. Now they are every where. Turd world muslims were allowed in NYC. Now look, they have a terrorist supporting mayor on the ashes of the dead killed by the very same muslims he loves. The democrat party terror wing MUST be stopped.

That being said, we need a betting pool on what atrocity they commit. I predict a suicide bombing of a Christian church. They already sent a tranny terrorist to shoot up a church there. Now it’s time to “globalize” their infatada and they’ll find another unhinged tranny muslim to do it.

I trust despondent mentally ill women with understanding free speech and assembly.

Like I trust bad guys with guns understanding the 2nd amendment and laws about steeling and killing.

No, you don’t seem to grasp the concept that you, i.e. the good guys, are no longer in control of your destiny.

Before there can be a California Resurrection, there must be a death that is going to be extremely painful.

In the last few days, information about the desertion of Target and Amazon and Chevron and Google and many, many smaller companies have appeared. There are also stories about the truckers in effect going on strike statewide. There are stories of Chevron and Phillips and Valero shutting down and or deserting California. Hundreds of gas stations were legislated out of business.

Help in the form of the pain from the above is apparently in process. The money believes California is no longer a fit place for existence exist and just will be gone

“Be careful and hold on tight. Falling off the bandwagon can hurt pretty bad”


You seem to be deep down into your delusion that the white knights from the DOJ and FBI will reign in the Minesota lawlessness in no time. Seems that doesn’t work out so well for you, right?

You remind me of those who shouted over the roofs that Sessions would drain the swamp, then Rosenstein is a secret Trump card, then Bill Barr will save the day and Durham is amazing, all lies, lies and lies in order to buy time for deep staters and the criminal left.
Oh, oh, you are one of those.
