WHO'S INVADING LOS ANGELES?

Not who they'd have you think

If any of the quiet part had not yet been said out loud, Kristi Noem said it yesterday.

At her press conference in Los Angeles, she announced that the thousands of military personnel sent by the President over the objections of Governor Newsom and Mayor Bass will be STAYING there to “liberate the city.”

Be very clear: a representative of the executive branch of the U.S. government just declared itself an occupying force of a city that - I know Los Angeles, so believe me - does not want them and will fiercely defend itself against an absurd and unconstitutional prolonged occupation. Los Angeleans - and many Americans - know who the real invaders are here. If Californians want to elect Gavin Newsom their Governor, and if some Californians happen to be Socialists, it’s none of Kristi Noem’s, or Pete Hegseth’s, or Donald Trump’s goddamned business.

Newsom made it clear repeatedly that California had all the law enforcement capacity it needed to handle any protests against the ICE raids. He was not even given the chance to prove that assertion. Trump immediately created the spectacle that would cause problems, doing so in order to justify more military presence in the city. A Class A draft dodger himself, the President now treats the armed forces of the United States like a little boy’s new set of legos.

Yes, the city needs to be “liberated.” From them.

One judge ruled the military had to depart Los Angeles, then a higher court overruled him and said they could stay. We could be on the brink of a Constitutional crisis.

Over to you, my beloved LA. Please make tomorrow a No Kings Day for the history books. Above all be peaceful. Be prayerful. Kick ass like I know that only you can do.
