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.

HAPPENING NOW 🚨: Protestors are being arrested and taken in to a LAPD shuttle bus. From my understanding, they will all be taken in, processed and cited for unlawful assembly.

Don't get me wrong, there's still plenty of protest action going down in the streets of downtown LA Monday night, but it’s nothing like it was over the weekend when they burned Waymo vehicles, attacked ICE officers, and shut down the crucial 101 freeway. The LAPD can take a ton of well-deserved credit for the crackdown Monday evening—but does anyone really think they would have done anything if Trump hadn’t gotten involved?

It was just on Saturday that they were claiming that the riots were “Peaceful Protests.” My, how they have changed their tune:

BOOM

LAPD boxed in a group of rioters and told them that they are ALL under arrest!

What if this approach had been taken by “leaders” during the 2020 George Floyd protests, where cities were allowed to burn with little pushback from law enforcement? What if a tough-on-crime approach had been taken all along in failed cities like Los Angeles or San Francisco, where the citizens are second-class and the criminals are the victims in the eyes of progressive Democrat politicians?

🚨 JUST IN: LAPD have now brought in buses to conduct MASS ARRESTS as riots continue

These scumbags are FINALLY being held accountable.

THIS SHOULD’VE BEEN DONE DAYS AGO!

The rogues' gallery of Golden State politicians who claim they’re powerless to solve the problem has been completely exposed by Trump. Just like with the manufactured border crisis—which Trump solved within days—the lawlessness problem can be solved equally effectively, as the president has shown.

Don’t tolerate it. Make accountability paramount. These are not difficult concepts, yet somehow the Democrats have convinced the media and an altogether-too-large segment of the American public that such ideas are unattainable.

Trump just proved them all wrong once again. While I don’t imagine the radical action we’ve been seeing will suddenly stop, we’re finally seeing agitators facing actual consequences. This is the way.

This guy was taunting National Guard troops. I’m guessing he might rethink such action the next time such an opportunity arises:

BREAKING 🚨 The National Guard just did an EPIC takedown running after a rioter ripping off his mask

This is EXACTLY how is should be done

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."
