Democrats have no answer for President Trump. He has implemented effective and successful policies to stop illegal immigration, deport illegal migrants, reduce crime, tackle inflation, bring down the cost of living, especially energy, stoke the economy, revive American manufacturing with record investment restoring jobs, resolved conflicts and wars around the world, and build a long-needed ballroom for the White House. Trump must never sleep.

While Trump is winning in every realm, Democrats can only sputter “orange man bad.” They have no ideas or solutions; they only howl that Trump is corrupt, his actions illegal, and policies unconstitutional, but they offer no evidence or examples. Like the boy who cried wolf, their threats of new impeachments are just annoying, baseless, and silly – no one cares. They long ago abandoned integrity and any modicum of morality, and they cannot muster any cogent intellectual arguments. So they can only get attention, relevance, or support with raw emotion.

Democrats need people to be enraged to get them engaged, so they tell whatever tale they need to advance their irrational over emotional tactics – they lie! After months of rabid leftist protesters assaulting, harassing, and obstructing federal law enforcement operations, one of them went too far and tragically lost her life when she nearly ran over an ICE agent with her vehicle, and he defended himself by firing his weapon.

Any loss of life is sad and tragic. Both sides will endlessly argue and debate this very unfortunate episode on who was right and who was wronged; that will never be settled. What we should be discussing and investigating is how did we get here? Protesters should not be inserting themselves into dangerous law enforcement operations, and law enforcement officers should not be put into highly charged situations with irrational civilians. Heart breaking for all involved except the leftist Democrat activists who have been craving an emotional flash point to fuel their cause.

The leftist playbook is to create some perceived gross injustice to inflame their base so that they are blind with rage and completely detached from reality to obediently fight like zombie warriors. If the ICE actions in Minneapolis were illegal, why did the Democrat Media Complex first lie about what happened? Leftists rushed to judgment declaring cold blooded murder by claiming she “was trying to get home,” “took a wrong turn, or “was stuck in traffic.” According to Democrats, she was just randomly shot. Of course, anyone would be incensed by that, but it’s a brazen lie.

Goaded on and trained by some nefarious group called “ICE Watch,” the dead protestor turned felon when she interfered with law enforcement and disobeyed their lawful commands was simply a pathetic pawn for the radical left. ICE Watch recruits and trains agitators to disrupt and obstruct ICE operations, but that is only a tactic, and the strategy is to foment chaos and unrest hoping for that emotional flashpoint to inflame the leftist troops into violence.

Essentially, Democrats are extorting Americans. ICE operations only have these problems in blue cities, because local enforcement refuses to cooperate with federal law enforcement. Minnesota officials are demanding the federal government stop enforcing the law and leave, so they and the illegal aliens can continue to break the law in peace. They are already here illegally, criminal illegal aliens run amok, and now we are learning they were bilking the American taxpayer for billions of dollars with much of it being sent overseas or donated to Democrat enablers.

There is a distinct pattern of violence with Democrats. Often when they lose an election or vote, they start burning, looting, and rioting. Each time Trump won, they hit the streets. Cut climate change nonsense, and they vandalize SUVs, or when Elon Musk started purging wasteful spending, they started burning Tesla’s.

Whatever the Democrat issue, they threaten violence if they don’t get their way, and sometimes, they go further. Blue cities and states are and have been telling the federal government that they simply will not honor federal immigration law and are even saying they will now try to obstruct federal law enforcement. Turns out Democrats just want illegal immigrants to remain here where they can provide votes and kickbacks from their frauds to their Democrat benefactors.

If this sounds familiar, Democrats took this position about 160 years ago when they demanded the Union leave their slaves alone. Democrats get quite fierce whenever anyone interferes with their mass exploitation of people. Today’s Democrats probably don’t have the stomach for civil war, but they certainly want civil chaos as long as it’s their useful idiots in the streets and not them. Again, they need chaos and uncontrolled emotions to keep supporters.

Average Americans don’t like political violence, but they also don’t like lawlessness. Democrats are constantly encouraging political violence. They have been advocating for more intimidation and insisting they must spill blood to get change the past year, so they are gambling they can create another “George Floyd” moment to swing public sentiment against law enforcement, and they can then continue to break the law and steal from the taxpayers.

The tragedy in Minnesota was not that moment, but they will keep trying until law and order is restored and Americans finally abandon the corrupt and inept mainstream media.

“Behold, then, I smite My hand at your dishonest gain which you have acquired and at the bloodshed which is among you” (Ezekiel 22:13).
