Because Trump 2.0

[seahawk]

Is there not an Insurrection Act in the US?

[DKTanker]

An interesting take by Kurt Schlichter.

Let’s understand what’s going on in Los Angeles because most people don’t. This is not a battle of cops versus rioters; it is a battle between narratives. Most people see regime media video of Third World savages waving the tacky banners of their garbage homelands, lighting fires, hassling cops, and doing other things consistent with being barbarians, and think that Los Angeles is in chaos and therefore get scared. The idea behind this color revolution – it is organized and planned, not spontaneous or genuine – is to intimidate normal people into submitting and embracing the politicians associated with its goals in the hopes that it will stop. This is the work of the Democrat Party; the rioters are its useful idiots, acting to support the party’s goals while its maintaining deniability. But this scheme only succeeds if the target is feckless and weak, which such targets usually are. Trump isn’t. He’s going to win this because he understands this fight better than his enemies. The chaos is an illusion; his strength is reality.

Remember, this is not a kinetic operation. A kinetic operation achieves its goal by the violence itself. Kinetic operations destroy enemy personnel, reduce enemy combat power, or conquer territory through physical destruction. But this is an information operation. It accomplishes its mission by influencing the population. The violence itself is not an end, but a means; the goal is to compel people to submit by convincing them to accept the narrative...

There are a lot of things that President Trump has learned between his first term and his second term.  As painful as it was, we got a better leader after his training by fire during the Biden Administration.  I don't think he is miscalculating but I am not sure.  I can only assume that there is intelligence on how many CCCP agents and Jihadis have come over.  The Feds better get some of them soon.  The large sweeps give cover that the apprehensions are coincidental.  A large portion of Los Angeles seems to think it is part of Mexico by occupation.  Pro tip: if you want to stay here don't burn US flag whilst waving Mexican flags.  That action doesn't play well across the rest of the USA.

Seems to me from the distance this guys do not care about "the rest of the USA".

     Videos of riots in LA are now all over RuNet, with people telling each other "See what we will have if we allow more of uncontrolled migration from Central Asia. It is the lesson for us". Another take is that migrants (both in USA and RF) are DELIBERATELY imported by liberal ruling elite to form "cushion" between elite and local population. 

[rmgill]

And there's a large cadre of 3rd world criminals and terrorists embedded. 

[Murph]

This is more true than you think.  Democraps are for everyone other than Americans.

In the USA they are imported to become future voters in democrat party.

This is correct and it shows who rules the US, when the Demorats rule.

Or affect the outcome even without voting.

I've read claims that if all illegals were deported it would mean quite a few more 'permanent' House seats for the GOP. 

Some aspects of the American democracy are really retarded, like no ID requirements (because that would be racist) or counting non-citizens when apportioning House seats to the states.

Are The Chinese Still Sore About How Bessent Tried To Break Hong Kong? 

We'll find out soon enough. What Bessent tried to do when he worked for George Soros in the late 1990s is the subject of the X post by Angelica Oung below. Before we get to it, a quick update/programming note. 

 

Given he's got the stench of Soros on him, I'd say he can be trusted about as far as I can throw an IBM model 360 mainframe.

According to WaPo and Bannon he punched Musk in the White House, so maybe he deserves some benefit of doubt?

[Ivanhoe]

Not with me. 

Too much risk he has covert investments in currency markets, and will cooperate with Soros to break the dollar as Soros did with the pound.

The lie goes 'round the world...was watching Greek news, and not only were they featuring mouth breathing mayor Karen Bass and guvnor hair gel. They were reporting the NG was fighting protestors. When it was clear it was the LAPD fighting rioters

its why the dems fought so hard against putting the question of citizenship on the census in the past.

Was the question about what side Braxton Bragg was fighting for solved?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braxton_Bragg#Historical_reputation

[urbanoid]

I'm sure he must have had some successes, he just didn't like to... uh... bragg about them?

Or maybe make Fort Forrest instead, that guy was exceptionally smart.

Concerning Musk and Trump.

Perhaps what is overlooked is that both Musk and Trump are overwhelmingly successful men in different areas and successful men have large ambition, egos, and work ethic.  Successful men is something we have not seen on the national political level in decades, absolutely so with Democrats!
Virtually any man would not be surprised by this and understand that both Musk and Trump understand the brokenness of the federal government and both in their own ways are doing -- successfully -- to make the U.S. federal government better by being much less powerful over the lives of the adults of this great nation.
Both of these men already have turned the rudder of this great nation toward the right and it is up to the adult voters of this country to continue to vote for and toward the right way.

At one point, Gabbard claimed that our "political elite and warmongers" are fomenting global thermonuclear war "because they are confident that they will have access to nuclear shelters for themselves and for their families that regular people won’t have access to."

They still have to come out sometime. Real life isn't an episode of "Fallout."

Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) — no RINO squish — quipped, “She obviously needs to change her meds," and I'm inclined to agree.

I'm not the biggest fan of Gabbard on policy — she was strangely buddy-buddy on several occasions with Syria's Bashar al-Assad and sometimes comes across as a Putin apologist. But I understand Trump's desire, the nation's need, and Gabbard's ability to shake up the D.C. intel community. 

 

 

[Ivanhoe]

So many crises to choose from;

 

[Tim the Tank Nut]

good grief!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

for a moment the Trump thread was off the front page!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I, for one am very much enjoying the Trump Presidency so far.

So the Pizza Index again predicted exciting foreign policy developments, about 24 hours before the bang.

Opinions about the 250th Army Anniversary Grand Parade?

I found it different from the parades we do here in Spain, or some others like the Russian ones.

For instance, having vehicle's crew waving to the public is not something we are used to.

[RETAC21]

Americans have a very curious concept of what a military parade is.. 

Brits are top notch, not expecting that:

But if even us can do this with second line troops...
