Is something significant happening? Looks like it, according to Family Research Council (FRC) Senior Fellow Joseph Backholm, who writing in World Magazine further suggests the reason why: “We were told redefining marriage was a matter of fairness and decency, and a lot of people fell for it. People with moral objections to same-sex marriage supported it because they thought it was the kind and fair thing to do. “But the sexual revolutionaries did not offer the tolerance they demanded. The moment they felt a sense of cultural dominance, they responded with speech codes, lawsuits against churches, and attempts to ruin the lives and businesses of anyone who expressed a contrary view.” https://instapundit.com/724855/

The LA Chaos Is an Illusion and Trump Will Not Fall for It Kurt Schlichter Let’s understand what’s going on in Los Angeles because most people don’t. This is not a battle of cops versus rioters; it is a battle between narratives. Most people see regime media video of Third World savages waving the tacky banners of their garbage homelands, lighting fires, hassling cops, and doing other things consistent with being barbarians, and think that Los Angeles is in chaos and therefore get scared. The idea behind this color revolution – it is organized and planned, not spontaneous or genuine – is to intimidate normal people into submitting and embracing the politicians associated with its goals in the hopes that it will stop. This is the work of the Democrat Party; the rioters are its useful idiots, acting to support the party’s goals while its maintaining deniability. But this scheme only succeeds if the target is feckless and weak, which such targets usually are. Trump isn’t. He’s going to win this because he understands this fight better than his enemies. The chaos is an illusion; his strength is reality. Remember, this is not a kinetic operation. A kinetic operation achieves its goal by the violence itself. Kinetic operations destroy enemy personnel, reduce enemy combat power, or conquer territory through physical destruction. But this is an information operation. It accomplishes its mission by influencing the population. The violence itself is not an end, but a means; the goal is to compel people to submit by convincing them to accept the narrative. And the narrative here is that Los Angeles is in complete chaos as a result of Donald Trump attempting to enforce federal law, so to stop the violence, Donald Trump must be compelled to cease enforcing federal law. This, of course, would be a devastating neutering of Trump while strengthening the Democrats. They want to make Trump look weak and convince America to submit to their intimidation. But this plot only works if we accept the illusion they are presenting. Remember, it’s an information operation. None of what you see on the regime media is real. Oh, they are burning a few cars and screaming and yelling and running around waving flags of garbage countries, but what does any of that actually do? Nothing. They can’t make anyone do anything. They are not eliminating any federal law-enforcement capabilities. They are not significantly hindering federal law enforcement operations. They are not holding significant territory over time. They’re simply acting out in front of the cameras to try to convince you that Trump is powerless. The impact on the daily life of 99% of people in Los Angeles is exactly zero. There are approximately 20 million people here. Maybe 5,000 have anything to do with this nonsense. Again, it’s all an illusion designed to frighten and confuse you. That’s what an information operation does. It creates a narrative in people’s brains to achieve an effect it can’t achieve by force. These mobs don’t have the capacity to do much of anything except block some freeways and set a few cars on fire. If the cops and the Guard decided to get kinetic, they’d be wiped out faster than they could chant, “No justice, no arrrggggghhhh.” They aren’t a revolutionary army. They are a bunch of jerks pretending to be a threat. And Trump has called their bluff. They were counting on what usually happens when the professional agitators in blue cities start getting frisky – they get catered to by the Democrats who run these urban areas. The Democrats react like a mommy while Trump reacts like a daddy. He’s not taking any of their guff, but what is important is that he understands that this is an information operation. He escalated by activating the California Army National Guard – I was a deputy commander of the brigade Trump called out and on the streets with the Army during the Los Angeles riots – but not so he could go kinetic. He’s not calling in the Guard or the Marines to bust heads or quell disorder, like we did in 1992. The guardsmen are basically providing point security around federal facilities to free up federal cops to go out and do cop things like arrest scumbags. What Trump is doing is messaging to the country that he’s not taking their crap. He’s not going to be intimidated. He’s not going to let this get out of control. The ones who are letting it get out of control are the Democrats who run California, like slack-jawed moron Mayor Karen Bass and Governor Gavin Hairstyle https://townhall.com/columnists/kurtschlichter/2025/06/09/the-la-chaos-is-an-illusion-and-trump-will-not-fall-for-it-n2658455 .

Judge Rejects Corporation For Public Broadcasting’s Motion To Block Donald Trump From Removing Board Members by Ted Johnson A federal judge on Sunday declined to issue an order to prohibit Donald Trump from removing three board members of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, as the administration seeks to zero out funding for public media stations, PBS and NPR. In declining to issue a preliminary injunction, U.S. District Judge Randolph Moss wrote that the CPB had failed to meet the threshold to halt Trump’s effort to remove Sony’s Tom Rothman, as well as Laura Ross and Diane Kaplan. Moss wrote, “Although the case presents important questions regarding the status of the Corporation and its relationship with the federal government, the Court must leave those questions for another day. https://deadline.com/2025/06/trump-pbs-npr-board-members-1236427047/

Press Gaslighting on Los Angeles Riots Reaches an Astoundingly Disturbing New Low The situation in Los Angeles has continued to escalate, with the LAPD and CHP now becoming prime targets for anti-ICE rioters. On Sunday, videos emerged of violent masked individuals throwing chunks of concrete onto California Highway Patrol cruisers, destroying several of them in what can only be described as attempted murder. https://redstate.com/bonchie/2025/06/09/press-gaslighting-on-los-angeles-riots-reaches-an-astounding-new-low-n2190223

We live in a world gone mad, one where violent protests are called peaceful demonstrations and government officials urge citizens to violate the selfsame laws they were elected to enforce. It is truly a time embodying the words of the prophet Isaiah: Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter. Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes and clever in their own sight. https://redstate.com/jerrywilson/2025/06/08/how-to-effectively-confront-the-political-madness-n2190216

Milt I deleted my post because its authenticity was called into question. However your point holds true either way. 👍🏼

DON’T TRUST YOUR LYING EYES:

Someone is funding this.

Rolando Veneracion-Enriquez, a national of the Philippines who has prior convictions for sexual penetration with a foreign object, assault with intent to commit rape, and burglary, all in California. ARMANDO ORDAZ, a Mexican national & known gang member with a convictions for sexual battery, receiving stolen property, and theft in Los Angeles. VICTOR MENDOZA-AGUILAR, a previously deported Mexican national & known gang member with convictions for assault with a deadly weapon, and possessing drug paraphernalia. DELFINO AGUILAR MARTINEZ, a Mexican national with a conviction for assault with a deadly weapon causing great bodily injury in LA. . This is who the Left is concerned about. .

KTLA reports, Trump orders National Guard to Los Angeles amid fiery ICE protests. Again, a point that I and many others have made before, if your protest is “fiery,” than it is no longer a protest. “Mostly peaceful” is not a thing. Your protest is peaceful, or it is no longer a protest. There is no third, half-and-half concoction. KTLA continues, Protests sparked by Friday and Saturday’s ICE raids continue to erupt across Los Angeles areas, some scenes turning violent and destructive, leading President Trump to deploy thousands of National Guard troops to the region and the U.S. Defense Secretary threatening to mobilize active duty Marines. By now you’ve all seen the pictures and videos of the guy on the motor bike, circling the burning wreckage and waving the Mexican flag. Media have been quick to liken the weekend events to the 2020 George Floyd riots or the Civil Rights/Vietnam War riots of the 1960’s. {snip} U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) was quoted on TV this morning, My understanding is that the governor of California, the mayor of the city of Los Angeles, did not request the National Guard, but [Trump] thinks he has a right to do anything he wants. If the governor and the mayor refuse to protect the lives and property of U.S. citizens, then what should be done? The Feds aren’t asking for local law enforcement help, just insisting that basic laws be enforced by Federal officers within Los Angeles County. The result? Three days of rioting. Whose country is it, anyway? https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2025/06/whose-country.php .

Flailing Gavin Newsom Tries to Defend Chaos in the Golden State by Invoking… Jan. 6, of Course Bob Hoge The progressives have gotten so predictable that you can write their responses for them. One of their cities is overrun by crime and homelessness? "But, but, Trump is Hitler!" Protesters are throwing rocks at law enforcement, setting fires and vandalizing property? It’s “mostly peaceful.” They call for violence, watch it take over their streets, and then say, “but JAN. 6!!” Like clockwork, California Gov. Gavin Newsom sent out an email from his Campaign For Democracy PAC Sunday morning pretending that he and officials like LA Mayor Karen Bass are victims and that they aren’t part of the root cause of the violence that plagued the City of Angels over the weekend. He went on to accuse President Trump of inciting violence, when Mayor Bass and other Democrats are on record explicitly calling for action. But of course, when all else fails, we can reminisce about Jan.6, as if that has anything to do with current events https://redstate.com/bobhoge/2025/06/08/flailing-gavin-newsom-tries-to-defend-chaos-in-the-golden-state-by-invoking-jan-6-of-course-n2190199
