Don I love this:

Surely you didn’t think Biden opened the border because he likes tacos. The border is a multi-billion-dollar industry that combines drug money with human trafficking money with sex trafficking money with cheap labor money. 10% went to the big guy.

Especially the sex and drug money. Slave labor has always been around and a highlight of the Dems’ day. But that modern day drug money. Now you’re talkin’ real money.

Trump likes Taco bowls.....the May 5th taco bowls are great, but the June'25 taco bowls are shaping up t/b the Greatest!! So great they ought to include them on all flights back to Centro Americo flying over the Gulfo de Estatados Unidos (nic Kalifornia), but in leg and arm chains, probably not easy to eat w your fingers....

Not sure he literally got 10% of that, but it’s easy to imagine that many Dems are getting big bucks to their “campaign funds,” or their relatives’ businesses, or through various other money laundering methods, from the cartels. Or whoever funds the zillion dollar international “NGO” conglomerate.

Birds are far from stupid for flying into windows. The fact is, the reflection in the window appears as if the sky and free space continues beyond the pane of clear glass they can't see. The bird made a logical decision based on the evidence in front of them.

Insurrectionist Democrats get no such pass, nor the grace of just being stupid. They are intentional, calculated, and led by enemies of the United States of America. Yes, they appear to follow blindly, but that is not an excuse for their decisions.

Decisions have consequences and boy do I want to see those consequences delivered like it's Amazon Prime - NEXT-DAY DELIVERY OF JUSTICE.

Most of the country is disgusted by what is happening in LA, especially with the likes of Mad Maxine, Hairgel, Bass and all the rest. I hope that the RNC realizes this and puts the riot videos to good use next year and in 2028.

Thank you for quoting Kurt Sclichter’s article from yesterday. Anyone who hasn’t read it should do so at Townhall.com. “The LA Chaos is an Illusion and Trump Will Not Fall For It”.

We're on the same page, TPG; and purely to be helpful, I release all possible copyrights to the screed below, with the promise that I will not claim any infringements by anyone else using it. This is how I've been replying to the never-ending fundraising appeals:

"I have found it necessary to adopt a no-reply, no-donation policy toward all political emails including yours, because of my recent experiences. Those experiences accumulated during the run-up to the last presidential election, and I put up with them because of my strong feelings that the nation needed to get out of the insane asylum constructed by the Biden crowd, so I donated what I could – repeatedly. But now I wish I never had responded or donated, not because I was disappointed by the results, but because the donation software seems to have classified me as forever filthy rich, and stupid too – the perfect combination for the permanent enrichment of political scoundrels who think that ordinary people’s assets are unlimited.

And their method is always the same: Entice me with some phony sensational headline, or solicit my opinion about nothing earthshaking, and then – surprise!!!! -- demand money. Always more money, and preferably “RECURRING” …

To sum up: get this through your blasted heads: NO MORE!

And LEAVE ME ALONE! TAKE ME OFF YOUR LIST!

This can’t end well for Democrats. Nobody with a brain… and I’ll include the meat puppet who resided at the White House… wants this stuff going on in their city or town or village or near their beach house.

The videos of dudes on motorcycles riding around with Mexican and Palestinian flags are going to be in 2026 and 2028 political ads for Republicans and those visuals send a message one can’t unsee.

Trump again is on the right side of the issue and Dems know it. We can only hope the tax on remittances to Mexico now go up to 15-20% and send an even stronger message to Mexico to “come on home”, hombres.

The optics are bad enough, but when you drill down into who is funding these riots, you learn that Marxist NGOs are footing the bill and the riots are as organic as Gavin Newscum's hair gel.

The d-rats realize that the country elected T knowing/hoping something like this would happen. The Trump/Miller/Homan Troika planned on something like this happening, and we the, one vote wonders, want this to happen.

As I said yesterday, the d-rats are desperate for something, anything, to get their twisted claws into so they can attack at mid terms and are hoping for something like an unfortunate incident to blow into a national pity party. Get ready for some poor schlub, who not only shouldn’t be here but shouldn’t be there to be ground under a military vehicles wheels at some ‘organic’ protest. Don’t fall for it!

Take a page from the Israeli experience in Gaza, once you pass the go line, keep going till the job is done. Every pause, every public minute of doubt and every display of humanitarian decency will be used against you.

We don’t want one never mind 30 million illegals of any stripe sucking the country dry anymore, driving us from our once beautiful public places or murdering our children. Let’s get it done already. Enough is enough!

“Indeed, 11 million to 20 million more illegal aliens included in the next Census means Democrats will gain 15 to 25 seats in Congress in 2032. “ So the next time there are 60 Republican Senators, a House Republican majority, and a Republican President legislation must be passed to have the census only count US citizens, otherwise the EVIL party has won!!! Not a promising scenario.

Superb columns yesterday and today. With all the nonsense going on, it's like a breath of fresh air to read a sane, sensible, and insightful column.

And I loved the subtitle to yesterday's column: "Democrats rioting will put California in play." I think this is an accurate statement. The Democrats keep serving up marvelous examples of why no sane person would want them to get anywhere near any position in government. Like that ridiculous defense they put up for the El Salvadorean illegal (Killmore Abrego Garcia). And now we get more air time for the poster child of Democratic Communist incompetence--Mayor Karen Bass.

For a party that has bent over backwards promoting itself as "the smarter" people, it turns out that they are not just "not as smart as they claimed to be", but are actually colossally stupid. They still insist on alienating another segment of the American population every week. That is why things are different this time, and the Democratic Party is not coming back from this.

“Democrats rioting will put California in play."

Only if we fix election fraud. Prap for Mike Lindell’s case in CO. There is still extensive voting fraud in every state and district. The Dems know they are losing with these crazy stunts in the news so they must have something big up their sleeves. They plan on taking Congress come hell or high water in 2026.

We can’t take our eye off the ball for the mid-terms.

When we were in California the last 3-4 weeks we talked with a farmer in the Central Valley as I was curious as to what he was growing. He had a little of everything & asked if I wanted to take anything but I declined. He asked us where we were from & I told him we were born & raised in Chicago but in NC now. Asked where we were staying & I said Capitola/Santa Cruz. You’ll like it, more Conservative there.

California has invented some of the most pernicious trends propagated and supported nationwide by the entertainment industry. Example, California took the lead in supporting an invasion of the US similar to that suffered by European countries. California should secede from the nation. California's Senators and House members can stay home and enjoy their world class economy instead of dumbing down the legislative process.

Also, they can handle their 'riots, fires, mudslides, and sushi at the mall'. And earthquakes too!

“…backlash against the Trump Administration which is itself a violent backlash against every good thing that's happened over the past several decades—the advance of rights for nature, women, children, indigenous peoples, BIPOC and immigrants/refugees, queer people, trans people, people with disabilities, workers, the right of us all to be free from being poisoned by food, water, air...”

This is what these people truly believe, how absolutely GREAT and transformative the last decades have been, ignoring - no, censoring the devastating effects each of their supposed “transformations” has wrought upon this country, and civilization itself.

They are high on their own hype, intoxicated, hypnotized, and zombie-ized , like mindless storm troopers following orders, as they deny the stark reality staring them in the face.

“Mostly peaceful”, “just having fun watching cars burn”? !!

They are treading water, about to sink like stones.

It’s not 2020 anymore. It’s a different America out here now, a different Trump administration, and the vast majority of Americans are no longer buying what they’re desperately trying to sell.

I apologize in what I wrote in a reply to your great comment, Pete. Rereading this is that 99% of the people in California would want the chaos to stop but are allowing the 1% to continue the protesting, burning of cars etc. because Newsom does not have the cahoonas(?) to put a kibosh on this contrived mess. I read it the opposite.

History repeats itself. I tend to forget that being old takes me back to the history of leftist forms of governing, which never change. This is new to anybody born clear back to the early 80s. I was talking to a young man on Sunday who didn't know college students were protected from the draft during Vietnam. He was so surprised he asked me to repeat it. This is where America split in two.

The privileged college students, who got to go to college back then, were protesting a war started by Democrats, and the Democrat leaders forced the American sons who couldn't afford college to fight their war. The college kids were protesting a war they had no part in. Those same kids disrespected the young men whom the Democrats forced to fight that war. Neil Young blamed it on Nixon in his song Four Dead in Ohio. Nixon canceled the draft a few weeks after I graduated and kept me out of the Democrat war. Ironic.

The CIA backed the insurrection that got rid of Nixon. This brought the Deomocrats back into power with Jimmy Carter. It took Carter 4 years to destroy everything he touched and brought back common sense in the name of Ronald Reagan. We had no wars for 8 years. Then came GW Bush senior, a RINO neocon, and back to war we went. He essentially handed the presidency over to Clinton. Two years later, the cops beat up Rodney King, and we are back where we are today. Remember George Floyd. Rinse repeat. This time, we sent an MS-13 slave trafficker back to his home country. Deja Vu, all over again.

When will they ever learn?
