President Trump is getting the fight with California he wants as Democrats in the state criticize his decision to send the National Guard to Los Angeles without local approval to deal with protests surrounding raids by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
The unfolding events hit at the heart of key issues that Trump basks in: immigration and fighting liberal California Democrats.
You can also add in law and order, as Trump and his team accuse California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) and other local officials of being too soft on demonstrators destroying property and setting cars on fire.
White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller on Sunday reposted several images meant to convey the chaos in LA, including one showing huge plumes of smoke billowing from a burning vehicle as demonstrators watched, with one with holding Mexican flag. The post read, “Let’s check in on how LAPD’s management of the ‘protests’ is going,” and criticized Newsom’s slamming of Trump’s decision to send the guard.
A second Miller repost was from his White House colleague Taylor Budowich, who sent out a similar video of a masked protestor on a car surrounded by other burning cars and demonstrators in the streets. “Democrat management,” the post said.
Newsom has said California will sue the Trump administration over its deployment of the National Guard, while the White House maintains Trump intervened at the right time to restore law and order and that the violent attacks had already escalated before he stepped in.
“Donald Trump has created the conditions you see on your TV tonight. He’s exacerbated the conditions. He’s, you know, lit the proverbial match. He’s putting fuel on this fire, ever since he announced he was taking over the National Guard — an illegal act, an immoral act, an...

Like everyone else I don’t like watching riots and protests but in the case I gotta tell you I’m enjoying this!
Another 80/20 issue the Rats are on the wrong side of.
The optics are horrible. A guy on a motorcycle waving the Mexican flag in front of a large fire. A legacy reporter calming people down as fires rage out of control behind him.
For masters of the Media, the Rats have been doing an incompetent job of it.
And Party-sponsored fires in the ashes of the Palisades fires…? Rhetorical question: did anyone think this through?
Oh that nasty Trump, he was prepared for this! What an awful man!
Shoot-to-kill orders to the Nat Guard against any and all rioters would toss cold water on this pretty quickly.
The next Presidential election will be TOTALLY about whether we want to open the border again. The Rats will be hammered endlessly
To replace the recalled Kamala Emhoff.
the Moron AG Bonta suied Trump stating the state is sovran
WOW guess the state is willing to die on this hill.. will see how well this works out.
OH ya i saw in my news feed that on of the protesters tag the fed building with “Death to America” OK game on
The only thing I can think that Gavin Nobrain wants is to have California secede from the US and become a Republic with him as perpetual president. If they do that, I would hope President Trump puts up “land ports of entry” and demands any personnel coming out of California into the US display a passport with an appropriate visa stamp on it. If they then demand personnel coming from tne US into California do the same, so be it.
Anything similar going on in San Fransicko? Or given it is Pride month (just typing that makes me ill) are the fags and lesbos simply warn out celebrating??
Ain’t that a shame?
The Democrats are at war with the rest of the United States.
If that’s the way they feel about America, they should leave before they get thrown out.
Newsom let the state burn and dry up and with no power and the highest cost of living and the most homeless in the country California is now a third world shit hole. Just waiting for the real shooting to start soon if the Feds don't clean this mess up and I am doubtful they can. Want to move to Idaho or Wyoming but wife does not want to move.
I agree 100% we should help them leave the country.
This should be the event that forever eliminates Newsome from ever winning the Oval Office.
.... The only problem is ....... It's going to quickly escalate and spread to a lot of other states. It is no longer contained within California .... Unfortunately ... The Enemy is already within the gates .... The contents of the Trojan Horse has already been delivered to our Nation ..... Courtesy of the Democrat Party and their allegience to our foreign enemies .....
..... This is not going to be an easy task ......
