Thank you, Brent, excellent column. And I love your sly question at the end: Why? My answer, for what it's worth: If Antifa can be deemed an International Terrorist Organization, then shouldn't the Biden administration be deemed one, too?
Why? we can now attributed all the fugery to [their] plan takedown of America. Their overall goal — to collapse the United States, and as United States would have collapsed into their communist controlled state, The World would follow, bringing US to the doorstep of their One World Order, the New World Order.
Fortunately, Team Trump turned the tide and is running a pedal-to-the-metal offense, and we’re winning the Color Revolution (2nd American Revolution). DEI gone. ESG gone. Woke gone. All their plays are failing. Meanwhile, exposure of criminal elements within our society are being revealed, and it’s not only the street level criminals, it’s the criminals in the suits and ties, our ‘selected’ representatives.
Treason & Corruption first, then Crimes Against Humanity…1-2 punch.
The goal of the Left is to destroy the cohesiveness of the U.S. In my opinion Progressives are a cult, and if they are not a cult, they operate like a cult by requiring uniformity of thought, intimidating its members from considering different thoughts by, inter alia, threatening harm to those who express different ideas, and demonizing those who are outsiders. Berney
They want to protect the US income streams that they are now tapping into, so fundamentally they are not interested in total destruction of the US.
I feel we err if we think they operate only from pure idealism; and not primarily from sheer grift. They need us to keep producing that income stream. So it will be lot easier to starve them into new sensibilities, after cutting off their cash flow. Than it would be to change their minds over any motivating political cause.
I agree with you elce, that the "leaders" are in it for greed and power and the easily led and gullible are being used and can just as easily be disposed of when their "service" is over.
Remind me how much BLM fund-raising funneled through the Democrat party Act Blue washing machine, ever ended up doing any real good, and was not diverted for BLM leadership enrichment?
These are simple people and we need to approach them as such: Greed is good works for them, as much as it did for Gordon Gecko in the movie Wall Street.
They finally took Al Capone down on his taxes, so we need a similar approach. Send in the green eyeshades, not the national guard.
The question becomes one of how much danger are illegals putting themselves and others by driving in the State of Calif.?????
A multiple deported illegal was just in an auto accident where other illegals were riding in his car.
If I remember 7 passengers were killed because the illegal driver was drunk. The State calls itself a sanctuary state and gives cover for illegals.
So the next time you hear about illegals in the State/Country think how many accidents and deaths would not happen if they were not here and/or driving because the State says they can.
I don't know if CA gives "cover" to illegal drivers, I do know that almost every Republican/Maga person I know has employed one of these illegal persons. (Over the last 40 years) Or 100% have frequented a business that employees them.
And I just did a search, took me thirty minutes to try to find the percentage of traffic deaths in CA that are caused by illegal drivers. So far no luck. Do you have the data?
I can’t believe the rhetoric in this post and the comments. Do you really believe that 50% of the people in this country are communists, or are trying to destroy our country. Does believing that health care should be available to all make one a communist?
Also, with regard to Venezuela, since 2014 8 million people have fled from Venezuela, mainly because of political oppression. 20 million live in dire, dire poverty. Is political oppression in Venezuela less terrible than in any other country. Oh, I forgot. Now we don’t want to admit any immigrants unless they are supplied with a $100,000 work visa or buy a 5 million Trump visa.
A-M 8 million Venezuelans can stay at home, and mount one heck of a revolution to save their own country. Not our job and our dime to let them flee, when they should stay and fight.
Yes, you do want well-funded immigrants who will make a contracted contribution to the US economy. Most successful countries offer exactly this type of special immigration status, one way or another .Among many other criteria. Check your class envy.
Oh please AM, enough with the phony indignation. Have you listened to the rhetoric from your own death cult lately? True, Venezuela is down and out, but it’s up to them (with possible help from the US military) to change their own shit hole county! Not my monkey, not my circus.
You do realize that Trump could have had our Navy or Coast Guard interdict those boats and arrest those alleged drug dealers instead of having them murdered. I expect Trump will try to fix the drug problem by having his secret police shoot suspected dealers in this country. We don’t need no stinkin’ trials.
MC: We don't need no stinking drug dealers and vast quantities of hazardous substances reaching our shores. Put your greenie environmental cap on, and declare illegals drugs are just as bad if not far worse than ......... CO2.
Why Mr. Zepke? It should be obvious. The Democrats and the liberal lefts goal is to spread death, destruction and mayhem in our country. Overwhelming our criminal justice systems and social services in a direct attempt to overthrow our government without firing a shot. Financed in part, by our adversaries in China and Russia, taking great pleasure of seeing us being destroyed from within.
There has surfaced credible intelligence indicating that radical Islamic cells which are already in place, are poised to carry out terrorist attacks against our infrastructure while dressed as first responders. The reports have indicated soft targets such as hospitals are especially vulnerable.
Meanwhile, TRAITORS such as Karen Bass, Gavin Newsom, Brandon Johnson, JB Pritzker and Tina Kotek are obstructing, conspiring and inciting violence against our federal agents.
Time to round up the criminal thugs, whether they be Antifa, Tren de Aragua or those in our state houses!
To add insult to injury, Democrats have shut down our Federal Government in a massive “hissy fit” over adding over $1 trillion in additional spending on, wait for it…healthcare for illegals! Wait there’s more, our own Congressman is in on the dysfunction. How did he get here again?
So, being critical of a program you turn into "obstructing, conspiring and inciting violence against our federal agents"? Please give me an example or two that support that Newsom is doing any of this..... Talk about overly dramatic rhetoric.... You sound worse than a member of Surfrider saying suntan lotion is going to kill all the otters.
Don’t you think Newsom calling ICE Trump’s private domestic army or signing bills attempting to limit ICE operations in California is incitement enough? His verbiage justifies the actions of those who commit violence against federal agents. At least it justifies it in their little Democrat pea brains.
Seriously TJ? How about Newsom, Kotex and Pritzker filing frivolous, nuisance lawsuits against the administration for protecting their own federal buildings? All along while spewing hateful, insightful rhetoric towards Trump, aka the prince of peace!
Ya bruh, maybe time to get on the Katie Porter bandwagon?
Jeff, you really have a huge lead on Karoline Leavitt for suckupery.
And no, again, where is he inciting violence against ICE? I'm actually all for cleaning up the immigration mess. It's got to happen. But the right's belly aching is as bad as the lefts.
Wow, can’t believe you still support Newsom. Your favorite politician is pulling all his levers to allow the violence to spread…how many lawsuits TJ, please provide a few examples?
e.g. Newsom filed multiple lawsuits to block the Trump administration's deployment of federalized National Guard troops to Los Angeles, arguing it is an unlawful abuse of power…
I don't like Newsom at all. Way too liberal for me. When will you nitwits figure out just becuase I don't like your guy doesn't mean I'm in lock step with the other one. And again, thanks for not posting some X as backup material. Get back to scrolling.
I read this very interesting article title "Protection for Venezuelans or Americans?
By Brent E. Zepke, Esq." I have a supporting title "Protection of Our Citizens by
the Tracking of ALL Ships by the US Navy. I quote from Mr. Zepke below>
"The current presidential administration is protecting Americans by preventing Venezuelan drug boats from delivering their deadly payloads and trying to remove Venezuelan gang members from the United States." AND "This case illustrates the who and why of the support the Biden-Harris team used to increase, and keep, the Venezuelan gangs and drugs in the U.S. but leaves unanswered: Q: Why?
When I worked for the DOD in 1983, at Submarine Base Banger, I was on a Team of Engineers that analyzed the location and movement of the Russian Fleet Surface Ships and Submarines.
We knew where they were weekly, daily and by the second. Tracking Narco Boats is rather easy so why has anyone allowed this to go on for so long where Drugs Kills so many of our children and Citizens? I will give you the WHY .... Money and always Follow the Money and where does it lead?
Here is hint on WHY Drugs were allowed in the US for so long>>>
The acrid stench of Democrat driven Cloward Pivens lawafare -overwhelm the system from within in order to bring it to a screeching halt - now hovers over this entire nation.
How do we repair this intentional abuse of our constitutional system of governance, in time for our 250th national birthday?
OK, once again a well thought and listed complaint against the Democrat administration of Biden, and the very questionable actions of the Frisco Federal Judge.
The end of the article comment / question:
Who, How, Why?
This case illustrates the who and why of the support the Biden-Harris team used to increase, and keep, the Venezuelan gangs and drugs in the U.S. but leaves unanswered:
Q: Why?
It illustrates the acceptance of other dangerous people and criminals by the same administration not just Venezuelan gangs .
Is sobering..... Why? Simple because you have radical socialist's rioting and committing criminal acts all over the nation. The same type of actions the foreign people commit or have committed in other countries. The Islamic Nation that has stated repeatedly they want to see the end of any country that is not Islamic let alone Christian / Jewish makes such positions indefensible from any rational person. Does the issue of the Mayoral Race in New York make the point?
Allowing in the same types that want the destruction of the good old USA because it does not follow Radical Socialist governance is a fools path.
When you normalize dangerous positions and activity you have lost civility and rational actions.
I think Democrats just wanted sheer numbers of illegals to fill enough rotten-borough voting districts to maintain political power. I don't think they considered anything beyond open borders offering them this sheer partisan power grab.
DOGE exposed their real motivation was their getting their hands on our money for themselves. And hoping they never got caught, staying hidden in the sheer mass and size of the Democrat-run government machine itself.
Newsom may be working defensively swallowing up all GOP seats with Prop 50, because he knows the CVRA protections for "protected groups" stuffed into cotton-boroughs based solely upon race, ethnicity and language spoken may soon be declared illegal under SCOTUS.
Funny how racial discrimination works beautifully for Democrats under CVRA, but not when ICE starts looking for suspicious conduct at Home Depot parking lots.
Trump is doing the wrong thing deploying the National Guard as 'troops' in these cities. Their military presence provokes the agitators, and what’s worse, gives them bitch fodder.
Because perception is reality, here’s how Trump should handle putting down these jerks:
a) National Guard troops going into the cities should replace their battle dress with dark blue shirts (with body armor) like the police wear that includes a badge. They would wear guns, batons, pepper spray etc just like the cops carry. Instead of steel helmets, they’ll wear white helmets like the cops use.
b) Give these troops a half-day seminar on standard policing practices which now makes them qualified police ‘assistants’. Instead of ’Troops’, when they ‘graduate’ this new group is called “Police Assistance League Support’ - PALS.
c) PALS can now go into the cities as local police helpers rather than an invading force. The goal? A steel fist in a velvet glove.
I would insist on a lot more action with clubs. These agitators gotta realize . . ‘F with the bull you'll get the horns’!
Time to bust the myth...... they only come to "have a better life for their children". Their children immediately get co-opted by the narco gangs on the Jr High playgrounds. Who is again spraying the 101 corridor with massive new walls of graffiti?

Hello LT, it is alittle more complicated than "Dah Democrats Did It"
See my post on WHY Drugs have been ALLOWED into the US For so Long.
300 Million People are Hooked-Line-And-Sinker'd on Drugs >
HUGE MONEY>>>>https://www.talkingdrugs.org/report-global-illegal-drug-trade-valued-at-around-half-a-trillion-dollars/
Oh are you saying that DAH Democrats are the New Transnational Terrorists?
I think ALOT of People are Getting their Pockets-Lined-Money
Dah Democrats are the “New Transnational Terrorists?” I’ll do one better, how about Dah Democrats are the new Confederacy!
They are still mad about the Opium Wars when the same was done to them; but that was the UK, not the US. Apparently all white devils look alike.
