I have been watching and reading coverage of the Los Angeles riots all week and there is no doubt that these were riots. There was violence towards people, in this case federal agents, and property as shown by the looting and the destruction of vehicles etc. These were not peaceful protests that were limited to a small area, as claimed by the Democratic/Socialist mayor of Los Angeles. They spread to other places in the Southland, Santa Anna for example, and around the country and were no doubt well organized as a response to joint federal agency enforcement raids. What disturbs me is what happened or did not happen in the following days.
The first disturbing thing that happened was the lack of response by California officialdom in the immediate aftermath throughout last weekend. Was it because Governor Newsom had dinner dates at the French Laundry with his mates and or was he too busy fishing somewhere in a shutdown portion of the Sacramento river for salmon that is not allowed to be fished? Was Mayor Bass off at another leftist’s inauguration while the city she is mayor of burned? I do not know but they appeared to absent while the LAPD police chief was overwhelmed. One thing for certain is that none of California’s elected officials have control of the streets in Los Angeles.
This leads to my next disturbing thought and that is if the political leaders are so tied up in their own incompetence, corruption and or ideology and to not have control of the streets in Los Angeles who does have control of the streets? What disturbed me is all of the Mexican flags being flown by the rioters in a US city. I find it coincidental that many of the rioters appear to be illegal aliens from Mexico kept these riots going after what I consider to be inciteful rhetoric was posted by the Mexican President, Claudia Sheinbaum who is whining about the possibility of remittances to Mexico being taxed while obvious criminal illegal aliens are being deported from the US. Once again, I have to ask myself who really controls the streets of Los Angeles and for that matter the state of California because it certainly does not seem to be the politicians. The politicians seem incapable of making their own talking points until they have been vetted by the national democratic socialist politburo who obviously takes weekends off and then takes at least 24 hours into the work week to dust off their weekend hangovers.
Now I move on to the fact that this part of the United States was part of Mexico at one time and it seems there are many who think it should still be part of Mexico. In fact, there was one Mexican Senator who was openly calling for and reminding Mexico that California was once part of Mexico and that it should still be part of Mexico. I also found it interesting that Claudia Sheinbaum, is now excusing and openly supporting the illegal immigrants, many of whom have drug cartel affiliations, in the United States in addition to opposing the tax on remittances in President Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill. It makes me wonder if President Sheinbaum concerned about the immigrants or more concerned about the money that they send back across the border and just how affiliated with cartel(s) is President Sheinbaum? I say this as reports have come back that many arrested in the raid that set off the riots are out right criminals. It would be really interesting to track and learn about any gang or cartel affiliations that they might have.
As I have been writing this piece over a couple of days, due to an extremely demanding schedule that has kept me busy on my real job, I have another thought creeping into my head. This is regarding the most recent flare up between Iran and Israel now moving to the front of the media cycle. I imagine the media has seen an increase in viewership over the week because of Los Angeles riots. Now they will probably move on because the powers to be really do not want any change in California and her policies. Even a Walton heiress is funding the riots, evidently, after all. There is just way too much money being made and the California Senators, Representatives, Governor, and other elites want their cheap labor. Perhaps this is really what it is all about. Even the cartels are top heavy with the leadership making an oversized proportion of wealth while the vast majority receive near poverty wages. Near poverty wages, which makes it easier to pay the rioters to cause insurrections whenever the elite’s way of life and standard of living is being threatened. A standard that allows for very little to no middle class.
God bless America and all her citizens and residents, no matter whether they care enemies, not enemies or somewhere between. Additionally, forgive me my trespasses as I forgive those who trespass against me.
