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.

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.

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?

Robert "Bob" Smith's avatar

Dan, just a fact about your question. CA does not report immigration status with crimes or accidents. So it’s difficult to find that data for anything. It’s the same problem with saying undocumented commit less crimes, cool statistic when you aren’t taking immigration status. You are going to be able to say that about a lot due to Sanctuary law.

That said, my wife’s car was hit in a parking lot last year by an undocumented person without AB60 license or insurance. They refused to give any information or stay at the scene. My wife is Hispanic, they said they were sorry to her and explained in Spanish. I get that’s anecdotal, but it’s a known fact here that there are many illegal drivers without license or insurance. There were 1.2M total issued AB60 licenses. We know the adult number of undocumented is much higher than that. And proof of insurance is not a requirement for AB60 licenses.

Dan O. Seibert's avatar

Thanks Bob, but I've lived and worked as a gardener in SB and Montecito for close to 40 years. Your wife's car was hit by an illegal in a parking garage?? OH MY, alert the media!!! Sorry Bob, bye.

Robert "Bob" Smith's avatar

Well, this is the kind of lawlessness that many people here have issues with. You are dismissing these things as if they aren't a problem. It wasn't about the severity of the accident; it was about noting that many people are driving around without meeting legal requirements. You probably also dismiss that opening the borders was a problem. We have laws that we are supposed to follow, including work visas, AB60 licenses, and insurance requirements, etc.

So I have to pay for my car note and insurance, but you're defending that people can damage my property I worked hard to pay for without paying or fulfilling the same legal requirements I do to be on the road?

Not sure what working as a gardener has to do with acknowledging that no one will be able to get you hard data on undocumented immigrants with respect to accidents or crimes because CA doesn't record that data?

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.

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.

What class envy. Didn’t understand that.

Annmarie, The rhetoric you read here is typical of most of this group. It’s good to hear a voice with some humanity. Heaven forbid, you say something that makes sense, or is factual, that’s when the personal attacks start.

The people here, most of them have had very fortunate lives. They don’t know about desperation, oppression, hunger, poverty, war, or just wanting to make a better life. They don’t understand what it’s like to be less fortunate. Not everyone can afford taco’s pricey visas. He only wants rich white people here to enjoy this country.

This rhetoric comes right from the top. taco wants all brown and Black people gone. His main concerns are going after his enemies and as you can see, he’s already targeted James Comey, and Letitia James, there will be others because that’s his priority. He doesn’t really wanna govern. He just wants the power. I mean look at his priorities, revenge, ballrooms, rose gardens, flag poles, etc. He’s turned the White House into a car dealership, next year it’s going to be a cage fight arena. He’s salivating over the Nobel peace prize, until he can put his country to where people can be civil, stop all the killings and mass shootings, he does not deserve any type of peace prize.

By sending the National Guard into democratic cities all that does is cause tension when there was no need to send them in. And why does his cabinet need to praise him continuously when they are introduced? They go around the table one by one thanking him for just breathing. In fact when anyone of the taco cult or Fox entertainment are asked about him they always start by praising him, like he was the second coming. And forget about Lara Trump’s talk show that is strictly propaganda for her father-in-law.

He has made himself judge, jury and executioner by dropping bombs on those boats in the Caribbean saying they’re drug runners. How do we know for sure? He hasn’t presented any evidence. Isn’t the Coast Guard supposed to take care of that problem? Someone said, one of those boats were just people fishing, it could’ve been someone trying to get away from Venezuela.

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.

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?

Thomas John's avatar

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.

Jeff barton's avatar

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?

Thomas John's avatar

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.

Thomas John's avatar

www.whitehouse.gov as a fact source?

Funny how the Right can dish out name calling - but can't take it.

DLDawson's avatar

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…

Thomas John's avatar

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.

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 >

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>>>

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.

Thanks Mr. Zepke

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’!
