Donald Trump Proven Right Again—LA Riots Fizzle As Overwhelming Force Shows Who's Boss
Redstate ^ | 06/10/2025 | Bog Hoge

California Governor Gavin Newsom, LA Mayor Karen Bass and the entire extremist California progressive class have egg on their faces Monday evening as the Los Angeles anti-ICE protests were neutered by the president’s shaming of Golden State officials to take action, his decision to send in the National Guard and the Marines, and his refusal to tolerate violence.

Bass, Sen. Adam Schiff, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, former vice president and failed presidential candidate Kamala Harris, and the whole Marxist gang decried Trump’s decisions—yet, as we’ve seen before, they had no interest in stopping the rampage and look pathetic now that the president is showing how things are actually done.

It’s similar to the border crisis: he shut down that garbage almost overnight. The commander-in-chief summed that up when addressing a joint session of Congress in March:

One of Trump's standout lines during his speech was when he said, "It turned out that all we really needed was a new president" in response to how former President Joe Biden and Democrats complained they needed legislation to tackle soaring illegal immigration.

Last month, the Border Patrol recorded 8,450 migrants who crossed the southern border illegally – the lowest level in at least 25 years. For perspective, most months during the Biden administration had well over 100,000 border encounters. He’s proven once again that it’s not a question of whether we can do something or not, it’s a question of will. And he’s showing that zero tolerance actually works.

He misspelled "invasive parasites." Jorge Busho, you piece of trash. You started this. You own this.

We need to get positively medieval on this scourge. (The crimigrants. Not Jorge. He's hiding in the bathroom painting his toes.)

While the national guard is there, why can’t they clean the streets of all tents, encampments, illegals, riff raff and criminals? Bass would turn the city back over to them as soon as they left but at least the street scum would be inconvenienced for a couple of days.

The “all we needed was a new President” line was epic.

Dems still feeling that BURN!

Isenhower planned to fold the Marines into the army. Then there was a prisoner takeover at Alcatraz. Nobody could handle it. Ike sent in the Marines, the only element under his direct control not involving Congress. Took 45 minutes to establish order.

Federalized guard that is not requested by locals is limited to protecting federal property and personnel and assisting the enforcement of federal law. What you suggest falls under local responsibility and federal troops are prohibited from removing the people or regalia.

I was watching a very revealing leftist live video stream from LA last night. It gives you a point of view from the rioters side. It’s was very apparent as the YouTuber interacted that no one cares about or mentioned illegal family tribulations. It was all anarchy, sport and ANTIFA. The highlight of the video was the “ANTIFA fight”. “That’s ANTIFA, they’ve always got to fight even if it’s with each other”. ANTIFA everywhere and acknowledged as casually as you or I might say “those teenagers, hanging around the high school”.

Yup. You might have been watching the one i was watching.
The one i watched was at the scene of the looting and all that.

Its pretty simple. Cut off all cell service. Cut off all social media, even sites like this.

Control news media. The other day there was a fox reporter actually walking in between police and the rioters stirring the action up.
She should have been taken into custody.

Compare these LA riots to the George Floyd riots in Minneapolis in 2020. Governor Tampon Tim Walz and feckless Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey let the city burn including a police station. Walz belatedly called up the National Guard, but they weren’t deployed until after the major damage had been done.

Hope they get this under control too - looting is starting to spread as of this morning:

“Mass Looting Begins in Los Angeles – Gas Stations, Adidas, Nike, T-Mobile Hit”

“Masked LA Rioters Loot Local Sushi Restaurant in Little Tokyo, Steal Cash Registers… That’ll Show ICE!”

Looks like the usual crowd is now appearing to get their fair share of “free stuff” - well knowing that there will be few to any consequences.

I wonder if what's really going on here is a declaration of war against the USA by the Mexican drug cartels and the Mexican Government, which they control, using
the President of Mexico, as a pawn, and the insurgents in the USA, as soldiers,

and using as weapons

Mexican nationalism,

Mexican resentment toward the USA for past transgressions, especially the annexation of Mexican territory by the USA in the 19th century and a desire to reclaim it,

the complicity, witting or unwitting, of the US Democrat Party and its supporters, including the so-called "journalists" of the news media and the feckless, misguided and easily brainwashed American "liberals"/"progressives", and

the Decadence of Western Civilization in America, manifest as the counter-culture movement of the 1960s and its 21st century successor, wokeism, which they perceive as a lethal weakness crippling American society, the American People, and the entire United States,

and if they perceive that the time to strike is now, when the USA, at least in their opinion, is at its weakest, before President Trump and the MAGA Republicans can re-establish US strength and ascendancy.

The Marines also rescued the Army in the Korean War retreat from the Chosin Reservoir.

Yes, recall Jorge Arbusto: “Family values don’t stop at the river.” What a turd he turned out to be.

No appeasement. No replay of 2020.

But regaining control of the streets is not enough. The need to go after the leaders.
