Well, well, well. Here we are again — another sunny California day, another riot dressed up as a “peaceful protest,” and once again, the left is clutching its pearls because President Trump dared to act like a president. The scene in downtown Los Angeles looks less like civil discourse and more like a casting call for the next season of “America’s Got Agitators.”

Protesters – excuse me, “activists” – swarmed the L.A. Live area, shut down major streets, and conveniently forgot the part about permits and laws. But the second Trump sends in the National Guard to restore some semblance of order? Suddenly, he’s the villain in Gavin Newsom’s dystopian bedtime story.

Let’s get one thing straight: when mobs start throwing Molotov cocktails at ICE agents and assaulting federal officers, that’s not a “movement.” That’s a riot. And when local leadership (I use that term loosely) refuses to handle it, then yes, the federal government has not just the right but the duty to step in.

Trump sent in the Guard not to “manufacture chaos,” as Newsom whined, but because chaos was already thriving under California’s finest brand of “leadership.” It’s like watching someone pour gasoline on a fire and then shriek that the firemen are being too aggressive with the hose.

And speaking of Newsom – the man really outdid himself this time. “Come and get me, tough guy”? Really? The governor of America’s largest state is out here taunting federal officials like he’s in a high school parking lot fight. Maybe someone should remind Gavin that Twitter machismo isn’t actual governance. He wants to stand up for California? Then how about starting with law-abiding Californians and not the brick-throwers shouting “No borders, no USA!” while torching federal property.

The idea that Trump’s deployment of the Guard “destabilized” the situation is laughable. The situation was already destabilized. That’s why the Guard was needed. It’s like blaming the ambulance for the car crash. But hey, if you’re a progressive politician in California, logic is more of a nuisance than a necessity. Their default playbook is to deny reality, spin the facts, and accuse anyone enforcing the law of fascism.

However, what really took the cake was CNN’s Brian Stelter talking like Baghdad Bob.

And thank heavens for retired FBI agent Jason Pack, who had the audacity to call it like it is: this isn’t your routine protest. This is something more coordinated, more violent, and yes — more criminal. When federal agents are getting targeted in the streets, we’re not talking about a rally anymore. We’re talking about a crime wave under the banner of “justice.”

And while we’re at it, maybe someone should remind the “defund ICE” crowd that immigration enforcement is, in fact, a legal function of the United States government. You don’t get to riot because you don’t like it. That’s not democracy. That’s anarchy. And no, they are not the same thing — though, judging by their Instagram bios, some of these protesters seem genuinely confused.

So, President Trump, like it or not, did what leaders are supposed to do. He acted decisively to stop the violence when California’s leadership was too busy virtue-signaling on social media. He put the safety of American citizens and federal agents ahead of progressive political theater. And for that, he’ll be called every name in the book by coastal elites. But for the rest of us — the ones who actually appreciate laws, order, and a functioning country — it’s a refreshing reminder that some people in Washington still remember what their job is.

Because when the cities are burning and the “progressives” are posing for selfies next to broken windows, the rest of America is looking for leaders — not influencers in suits.
