As readers of this blog know, I have written several times about the insurrection being fomented and encouraged by Democrats.
Here is just one example, which I wrote in late October, after Nancy Pelosi threatened law enforcement agents operating in her district with arrest:
A member of congress threatening federal agents who are functioning lawfully (whether she thinks so or not) with arrest and prosecution? That is the DEFINITION of insurrection.
Say, isn’t this the same nancy pelosi who made good and sure that national guard troops were not deployed at/near the Capital Building on January 6, 2021? Who admitted – on audio tape – that she was to blame…but now claims she wasn’t?
The pelosi’s, along with the gavin newsoms, and j.b. pritzkers, and brandon johnsons, and other Democrats who are aiding and abetting insurrection against ICE agents, are all in that exact same boat. They are insurrectionists, claiming that state law somehow supersedes federal law – in direct opposition to the supremacy clause of the United States constitution.
With the above in mind, I urge you to read, and think about, John Hinderaker’s latest commentary at powerlineblog.com. Here it is, in its entirety:
Democrats’ Calls For Violence Are Succeeding
As I have written before, I don’t know whether Rahmanullah Lakanwal, who shot two National Guardsmen in Washington, D.C., killing at least one, is 1) a raving lunatic, 2) a devout Muslim–witnesses said that he shouted “Allahu Akbar” as he murdered Americans–or 3) a sucker who fell for Democratic Party talking points. The fact that it is hard to distinguish among these alternatives is revealing. In all likelihood, at least two of the foregoing categories apply.
More broadly, we can see that the Democrats’ war on law enforcement is succeeding. It has been focused mostly against America’s immigration laws, which Democrats hate but don’t have the votes to repeal. Democrats have viciously attacked U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, denouncing its agents as a modern-day “Gestapo,” and trying at every turn to interfere with their work. Most recently, Oregon Governor Tina Kotak has threatened to criminally prosecute ICE employees for doing their jobs. As a legal matter, that threat is absurd. But the real threat lies underneath–the threat that people who are deranged and/or unusually loyal to the Democratic Party will be emboldened to try to kill ICE agents.
That threat is deadly serious:
Assaults on Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents have skyrocketed 1,150% so far this year compared to the last year of the Biden administration — with nearly 250 attacks recorded since President Trump took office.
The disturbing surge comes amid a climate of heightened danger for immigration authorities, including stalking, death threats, online doxxing and outright assaults, which the Department of Homeland Security says is being encouraged by lefty politicians opposed to Trump’s illegal immigration crackdown.
That is quite a record–a 1,150% increase. Congratulations, Democrats! The same applies to National Guardsmen who have been deployed to bring peace to violent cities, and who have been uniformly denounced by Democratic politicians. We saw the result in the murder of Sarah Beckstrom and the grievous wounding of Andrew Wolfe. When one of America’s two leading parties issues a call for violence (“resistance” to the “Gestapo”), the results are predictable, and surely were both foreseen and intended by leaders of the Democratic Party.
This is where we find ourselves in 2025 America: insurrection has been normalized–we haven’t even gotten to the Seditious Six!–with fatal consequences.
It is horribly sad to say, but facts and events force me to agree with every point Mr. Hinderaker is making about today’s Democrat Party.
And, to make two further points Mr. Hinderaker is not addressing, leftist Democrats could not do this without…
…the complicity and sympathy of most of our mainstream media – who are happy to look the other way or rationalize their insurrectionist actions over and over again….
…or the complicity of much of our public school curricula, with left-dominated teachers’ unions doing everything they can to sell their talking points to students in the name of “education”.
This country is in trouble. A lot of trouble. I keep hoping to see a way of extricating ourselves from the mess we are in, and not finding it.
I hope to hell someone does.
