The scenes quickly brought back memories of the George Floyd-BLM riots, or the horrific 1992 Rodney King uprisings that turned Los Angeles into a virtual war zone. As anti-ICE protesters in LA hurl bricks at law enforcement vehicles this Sunday night, burn cars in the streets, vandalize property and shut down major freeways, one can’t help but wonder, how in the hell did we get to this place… again?
The answer is actually quite simple, and if you’ve spent much time on this site, you know what it is: progressive, extremist policies gone wild, and the charge was led by former President Joe Biden and his corrupt regime and was furthered by folks like California Gov. Gavin Newsom and all the other sanctuary city/state proponents out there who laughed as Ole Joe ushered in tens of millions of illegal aliens and yet had no strategy on how to manage such a massive influx. The Golden State quickly went broke by providing healthcare for the “undocumented” newcomers, but you’re racist if you point that out.
Another “mostly peaceful protest” brought to you by @GavinNewsom.

Violence exploded on the streets of Los Angeles starting Friday and is continuing as of this writing, as we have been documenting, and if you believe Newsom and CA Sen. Adam Schiff and LA Mayor Karen Bass, it’s because Donald Trump finally made an effort to rid the country of violent criminals and gangbangers who don’t belong here. They would have you believe that Orange Man Bad and all Republicans just want to punish good old American moms and pops who are working for a better life, ignoring the fact that many of the people ICE are rounding up are sex traffickers, violent assailants, and worse.
If you buy into their malarkey, it’s not because of the chaos they have wrought, chaos they purposefully sponsored by offering the welcome mat to anyone and everyone who wanted to cross the border, including countless single Chinese males of military age and America-hating jihadists who have gone on to commit terror against our communities; no, it's because folks are "intolerant."

Joe Biden is thankfully no longer in the White House, but his tattered legacy will live on for many years. You don’t invite millions of people into your country, promise them benefits and no accountability, and then become surprised that they’re enraged when you ask them to leave. The Democrats, like the defiant, clueless Newsom, point the finger at Donald Trump, but that’s like purposefully smashing your toilet with a sledgehammer and then bitching at the plumber for the mess as he tries to clean it up.
They wanted this, they paved the way for this, and now it’s here: more violence. Newsom’s America, which he wants to bring to your state:

It's anything but complicated.
Honest question, would any other country in the world let an illegal immigrant light cars on fire in their cities while waving the flag of another country? pic.twitter.com/1xTQboW9BS

Editor's Note: President Trump isn't going to allow lawlessness to reign in America. We will not have a repeat of 2020's "Summer of Love."
