What is the logic of waving the flag of the country to which one is violently opposed to returning, while assaulting the officers and infrastructure of the very nation in which one is demanding to remain?
Victor Davis Hanson
If you think concerned citizens spontaneously combusted into Los Angeles’ anti-ICE riots, then you need to connect the burning American flags to the masked men waving giant Mexican flags and their anarcho-globalist president’s defense of Mexico’s $66.3 billion in yearly remittances from workers inside the US.
President Sheinbaum is a socialist. Global cartels control one-third of her country. She just told reporters, “the United States is what it is thanks to the work of Mexicans” who are now subject to the “raids and violence” of DHS and ICE agents. She urged her “fellow countrymen” inside the US to resist the Big Beautiful Bill’s 3.5% tax on remittances to Mexico by writing “your congressman, stating this tax is discriminatory.”
Her speech ended with “if necessary, we will mobilize.” Hmm…did President Sheinbaum just ask 10,900,000 Mexican immigrants living – legally and illegally – in the US to (at best) redress their grievances to members of Congress or (at worst) attack ICE and DHS agents? Sure looks like it, meaning she views 10.9 million immigrants as political instruments of Mexico. If true, that’s anarchy.
If you think concerned students spontaneously combusted into pro-Hamas demonstrations on Ivy League campuses, then you need to connect the burning American flags to the antisemitic mobs wearing Hamas keffiyehs and the anarcho-globalist Yemeni leader of Al-Qaeda’s disturbing 34-minute video titled “Inciting the Believers” that was released last Sunday.
Sa’ad bin Atef al-Awlaki just urged 4,503,000 Muslims in the US to “take revenge” in the name of Palestine by striking at “infidel Americans.” He’s inviting exactly the type of anarchy that Marco Rubio is trying to prevent at Columbia University by deporting Mahmoud Khalil. The Secretary of State is, of course, in a position to connect the Houthis in Yemen to the pro-Hamas mobs at Columbia to the woke judges protecting Khalil.
If you think Democrats spontaneously combusted into patriots, just connect the burning American flags to their legislators bull-rushing prisons and California’s anarcho-globalist governor passing the buck on his state’s woes: “I ask everyone to reflect on this perilous moment; a president who wants to be bound by no law or constitution, perpetrating a unified assault on American traditions. Donald Trump’s chaos is undermining the workers and economy that power America’s economy.”
His are the words of anarcho-globalists who view America as a mere economic opportunity zone, and western civilization as inherently racist. 77.3 million voters begged to differ last November. President Trump won 70% of the “economy” voters, who heard him say America was being “ripped off” by its trading partners, and 61% of the “immigration” voters, who heard him warn of “criminal illegal aliens.”
So, it’s rich to hear Democrat Newsom attack Republican Trump seven months after the GOP increased its share of the popular vote in all 50 states. It’s called momentum, and the wave hit Newsom’s own state: the Democrat share of California’s popular vote fell by 1.8 million votes last November…because that “perilous moment” has already arrived in the (once) Golden State.
Democrats in California are bound by no law at any level. In LA, the Democrat deputy mayor was recently arrested and convicted for reporting fake anti-Israel bomb threats. Their entire state is home to 25% of America’s illegal immigrants, because California provides them sanctuary from DHS and ICE, and $31 billion in benefits and services (source: FAIR). That will cost the state $11.2 billion in Medicaid funding, if the Big Beautiful Bill is enacted.
Democrats in California are undermining workers and the economy so badly that 2.5 million working-class residents have left the state since 2001 (source: CCB). The US trade deficit was $918 billion in 2024, and California alone accounted for 33% of that deficit; its businesses imported $491 billion and exported only $183 billion (source: USTA). Last April, Newsom refused to be part of the solution; he sued to stop Trump’s tariffs (and lost).
Democrats in California are perpetrating a unified assault on American traditions; like banning indoor church services in 2021 (ruled unconstitutional). Now, Newsom’s threatened to withhold $83 billion in federal tax dollars to preserve transgenders competing in girls sports; a tactic that would expose California’s payroll managers to arrests for federal tax evasion. No wonder 200,000 taxpayers are leaving the state every year (source: USCB).
California is the poster child for what anarchy looks like. $250 billion in wildfire damages because environmental laws prevented the sane clearing of brush kindling, and a fire chief fixated on DEI instead of fixing fire hydrants. Releasing criminal aliens from jail and texting the whereabouts of ICE agents, instead of helping DHS protect US citizens. Its US senator bull-rushing a secret service detail, and expecting a free run at DHS Secretary Noem.
There is another face of anarchy: 21% voter-approval of the Democrat Party. That’s right, because three-fourths of Americans – the church goers, good parents, hard workers, law abiders and tax payers – know anarchy when they see it.
