California Burning
Californians are mad. They're violently protesting Trump's crackdown on illegal immigration in Los Angeles. Protesters protested the deployment of the national guard, but LA police chief Jim McDonnell refuses to participate in any way because SB 54 makes Los Angeles a "sanctuary city" in defiance of the law. California is suing Trump for stopping the riots and enforcing the law without their permission. So, Mr. Trump, you need to stop being the president of Los Angeles and San Francisco and just leave them be. Of course, make sure they get no federal funding and all. I mean, you need to be consistent. Maybe a border wall around those or something?
A sidenote on the L.A. story. in 2008, the courts struck down a California law approved by 70% of the voters that defined marriage as a man and a woman. That year, Californians again voted, this time to make that definition part of the state constitution. Again, the courts struck it down. So it's very odd to hear Californian protesters saying it's anti-democratic for the federal government to enforce federal law, but that's what they were saying in California. Double standard much? (And a side question. Why so many Mexican flags in an American protest?)
Better Than I Expected
Israel seized a ship headed for Gaza ... that happened to be carrying Greta Thunberg. Greta was (wisely) deported and appears to be headed back to Sweden. Her plan was to save the Palestinians ... which, of course, would require the elimination of Israel, since that's the Palestinian position. But she still considers hers a "humanitarian mission."
Unrest
Israel attacked nuclear sites in Iran and Iran retaliated. Understandable ... except Israel attacked nuclear sites and Iran attacked Israel's citizens. And we'll call it "unrest in the Middle East" and debate who was right.
Say No to Democracy
You know that thing people do where they label someone "Hitler" as if that's a meaningful or even truthful thing, and it becomes the "truth"? In what seems to be the ultimate irony, they're planning a massive "peaceful" protest called ... get this ... "No Kings Day" to protest ... the duly elected president ... the "existential threat to democracy." Because by applying these labels in contradiction to fact, they win their argument ... without, you know, arguing ... or evidence.
Your Best Source for Fake News
On the Middle East, the headline reads, "Global Community Condemns Israel for Attacking Peace-Loving-Nation of Iran." No need for further comment. On the riots in L.A., CNN reports another peaceful night in L.A. where the majority of cars are not on fire. It's all in the spin. And Governor Newsom is promising to protect the illegal immigrants who elected him. Now that's representative government.
Must be true; I read it on the Internet.

If you look at the map of Iran, and where the IDF struck, it seems completely appropriate to say that it was a mostly peaceful protest against the Iranians completing nuclear weapons.

The Dems were mad on January 6th because Trump didn't call in the National Guard over people ransacking the Capitol. Now they're mad that he's called the National Guard over people looting, vandalizing, and burning private property. Pro-Lifers march and pray near abortion clinics and get arrested, but we should let foreign nationals run amok in LA. Make it make sense.

But what about the horrible treatment of her and her crew mates? They were "kidnapped" after being given food and water and medical care, and then, horror of horrors, sent back home in coach on a plane! At least Israel knows what to do with foreign nationals that invade their territory who want to help people that want Israel dead.
Unrest
But don't you see? Israel holds historic Iranian lands and attacking nuclear strike capabilities is tantamount to destroying Iran.
Say No to Democracy
Democracy is only in effect when the votes go your way, otherwise it is an existential threat to Democracy. It's interesting to me that they are echoing the Revolutionary War era, when they considered those people evil, horrible, white supremacist, colonizers that didn't do a single good thing with their lives.
Strangely enough they weren't mad about Walz calling out the guard to enforce COVID regulations. Of course then Walz chose to wait on getting the national guard involved in the 2020 Summer of Love riots until after things got out of control.
