What triggered the American Civil War were state officials who refused to honor federal law and instead boasted of their open defiance of Washington.
That precedent apparently is the incendiary model for the weird, but dangerous recent behavior of an increasingly unhinged California Governor Gavin Newsom.
He is currently supporting the often-violent protestors in Los Angeles and their resistance to federal officials’ enforcement of immigration laws.
Newsom claimed that Trump’s use of ICE to detain those here illegally in the U.S. was “reckless”, “chaotic” and “eroding trust”.
Does he think that his own rhetoric is creating calm and building trust by opposing the lawful enforcement of federal statutes? Or is he following the baleful model of arch-Confederate rebel Jefferson Davis?
Does Newsom support the similar defiance of fellow resistor Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass? She all but called for official city resistance to the enforcement of federal law, with an added threat, “We will not stand for this.”
What does Bass—who recently was junketing in Ghana as entire swaths of Los Angeles were incinerated—mean by “we”? All of Los Angeles? The LAPD?
Will Bass use the LA police to stand against federal officers who are implementing the law and have a constitutional right and indeed requirement to enforce federal laws within the states?
Does the governor grasp that his reckless states’ rights rhetoric empowers violent protestors who torch cars, pelt passersbys, and assault officers?
Take, for example, fellow California Democrat, Congresswoman Norma Torres. She just messaged federal immigration officers with the obscene threat,“Get the f— out of LA.”
Does Torres believe that Los Angeles should become a modern-day South Carolina of 1861, boasting that it will defy the federal government?
Is Torres echoing Democrat and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries? He just boasted that he would dox endangered ICE agents, publishing their personal information and revealing their identities (“Every single one of them, no matter what it takes, no matter how long it takes, will of course be identified.”).
How exactly does Rep. Torres think she is going to get federal officers “the f— out of LA”?
Does Torres consider the now outnumbered and often threatened ICE officers to be the modern versions of surrounded federal troops at Fort Sumner?
Newsom did just not stop at siding with violent resistors to federal officers.
He again took on the federal government and the Trump administration for reminding California that it is subject to federal fines for its current defiance of federal Title 9-related presidential executive orders barring transgendered biological men from competing in women’s sports.
Trump recently was merely following the precedent of the Obama administration that first issued such warnings of cut-offs to educational institutions that might not abide its own Title 9 federal policies and directives.
Here is how Newsom worded his threats of insurrectionary resistance to Washington:
“Californians pay the bills for the federal government. We pay over $80 BILLION more in taxes than we get back. Maybe it’s time to cut that off”.
Cut that off?
Has the rebellious Newsom read the U.S. Constitution? Is he calling for us Californians not to pay our federal income taxes?
Does he know that he just de facto called for federal tax evasion—an act that could be construed as a felony under 18 U.S.C. Section 2 of the federal tax code?
States do not have the legal authority to override the federal government by arbitrarily withholding federally
warranted income taxes from its U.S. citizens. In 1861 such defiance almost destroyed the U.S.
And does a clueless Newsom really believe that California’s $80 billion surplus of taxes versus receivables with the U.S. Treasury actually pays “the bills for the federal government”? Hardly.
In truth, it amounts to no more than 1.5 percent of the annual $5.5 trillion in federal revenue?
Does Newsom even realize that California taxpayers are American citizens first, and California residents second?
Or has his past advocacy for defiant sanctuary cities and current nullification of federal law made him a states’ rights rebel in the past fashion of George Wallace’s Alabama resistance?
Beside their Confederate-like defiant threats to resist federal laws, do Newsom, Bass, and Torres realize they are clearly on the wrong side of public opinion?
Despite the media and leftwing hysterias, even the liberal CBS poll just reported that 54 percent of Americans still support deportation as a legitimate means of enforcement of federal immigration law.
In contrast, Newsom’s latest polls show that just 2 percent of Democrats envision him as their 2028 party presidential nominee.
Worse, in the most recent average of some 30 polls, only 27 percent of those surveyed expressed a favorable opinion of Newsom.
Does he think that illegal aliens violently breaking the laws of the nation in which they demand to stay and burning its flag, while waving the flag of the foreign country to which they refuse to return, will win the support of the American people?
Does he grasp that 75 percent of Americans support the deportation of illegal aliens who commit criminal acts like many of those currently in the Los Angeles protests?
Or is Newsom signaling that given all these polls he prefers to end his political career—and so just blew it up?
VDH just articulated the vacuous nature of these Democrats and their threats. L.A., being the new Gomorrah, doesn’t need an act of God to destroy it. They’ve got the Democrat Party.
They think the time is right for a civil war. They have been organizing for it all over the country.
With the help of IOM.int the UN mass migration service.
Good luck with that. About a hundred people protested the sane majority who want wet backs deported in front of City Hall here in San Jose yesterday. San Jose has a population of over one million so a meager gathering of 100 people is a joke.
These left-wing, anti American scum are a tiny minority and normal people ignore them for a reason. Try to riot here like in scum hole LA and see what happens, lefties. We’ll crush you. I’m so sick and tired of these “people.”
“These people?” You’re married to a BLM ✊🏾 POS.
…all over the planet.
It is the sub-humans vs the Human race.
VDH, does a good man and his name have to be maligned again for the umpteenth time? It’s a wonder Davis’s bones haven’t been dug up and burned and the ashes scattered over the sea like the Bible translator John Wycliffe’s bones were, when his were dug up and burned by the “church,” and then scattered to the wind.
About the book, “Was Jefferson Davis Right,” the columnist Charley Reese had said, “Every American ought to read this brilliant book.” The editor Oran P. Smith had said, “It is a primer for the trial of the century that never was.”
In a recent article, Wanjiru Njoya thought it fair and appropriate to quote Davis and let him say why the Southern states wanted to secede.
Governor Newsome ought not be confused with Jefferson Davis.
I live in California Northern California and Newsom is a Traitor and Liberal he belongs in Prison for Life without Parole
Why do Californians continue to re-elect this scum?
We true Californians are up against a powerful and evil political machine. We live in the
Mecca of Marxism, many, many, many of us being multi-generational natives, myself
included. We vote reliably but are surrounded by black-eye demons so to speak. I
refuse to give up my heritage to the leftist elite.
Since Governor Greaseball is determined to have his Fort Sumpter moment perhaps Trump should do a General Sherman on Commiefornia and stage a march to the sea, pushing the whole mongrel lot into the Pacific. Also has anyone noticed Los Angles’ mayor is a Karen? God she’s ugly. The demorats seen to have a monopoly on ugly and Maxi pad Watters’s reminds me of something you find right at the back shelf or a fish market.
as long as there are democrats in america you will have anarchy , its what they prefer if they cant have total control of everyone . straight out of the marxist playbook. arrest as many as is possible . deport the illegals instantly and the democrat brownshirts need to be arrested and jailed on federal charges . time to play hardball and sink the boot in . if it doesnt happen america will be destroyed quicker than it would be otherwise . this is the last chance for the u.s. less talking more action , get on with it . !!
And the left has, of course, joined forces with what looks like the latest flare-up of the “reconquista” movement that La Raza has been pushing since the 1960s.
Biden told us “ You need F-15s and maybe some nuclear weapons’” to fight the government. Right back at you Newsom.
Andrew Jackson comes to mind.
Fort Sumter not Sumner
The South was paying over 90% of the taxes and sleazy Abe gave us greenbacks.
Gee, it’s fun watching pansies like Rep. Torres, Newscum and Fat LadyBass get all huffy and tough. They couldn’t fight the LA fire earlier this year and now they can’t control an anti-ICE astroturf riot.
Note to Newscum, Torres and Fat LadyBass…….fine don’t pay your 80 billion in taxes. Say Goodbye CA as you get booted out of the union. No more 55 electoral votes. No more insufferable LA/SF sports teams. Way fewer illegals. Become an extension of Me-he-co. No one will care.
What if they threw a riot and no one cared.
The probability California will pay $80 billion less in taxes, get booted out of the union, and give up all its electoral votes is zero. Would the legal citizens of the state no longer get their Social Security and Medicare payments? Would the U.S. remove the military bases? To quote what Trump said about Elon recently, someone has “lost his mind.”
As for those insufferable LA/SF sports teams, teach us. Where does the money come from to pay all the multimillionaire players?
Maybe like the war in Ukraine, President Trump will end all this in 24 hours! He told Putin “just stop?” and shazam, it ended! (I think it did.) Maybe if Trump says “solo detente!” the riots will end in a day. Of course, he might get Elon to end the riots, but since according to the President, Elon is suffering TDS, that probably won’t happen.
You win dumbest comment of the day. Ayn Rands? Really?
The confused, meandering ignorance is strong in this one. How does the non-sequitur mention of LA/SF sports teams fit into this baffling labyrinth of nonsense? Even Ayn Rand would be scratching her head.
Well, to be somewhat fair to him I mentioned the LA sports teams in my posts in that we in the rest of the country wouldn’t have to put up with them once they leave the states.
Wouldn’t that be nice. Just an offhand remark but I guess he took it personally. Maybe he is from LA. Other than that he certainly read a lot into the post that wasn’t there.
Each of these insurrectionists should be loaded onto a plane bound for El Salvador. Also Hakeem Jeffries.
BTW the far left is organizing a national riot (mostly peaceful protest) on Saturday. LEOs should stand ready to tamp them down. Bring police dogs and fire hoses. See the details at nokings.org
One might ask why South Carolina felt impelled to defy Federal law.
The citizens were paying most of the National budget and having to listen to insufferable pompous yankees. (excuse the redundancy).
Newsom is nothing more than an adult tabula rasa; otherwise known as a useful idiot for those more powerful orchestrating control over this silver spoon without any grasp of true governance. ICE removing all the illegals will sorely compromise the illegal ghost-voting districts that are keeping imbeciles like him and Bass in office.
Democrats are a party of grifters designed to rip off the taxpayers and in California that means all kinds of illegals getting unwarranted benefits that should only be going to US citizens who are lawful residents of the state.
Anyone who has lived there understands the rot in Sacramento.
Arrest both Newsom and Bass and transport them to a federal lock up.
And, the ones funding this should be identified and arrested as well..no $$, no paid insurrectionists.
Maybe, in consideration of their law fare tactics regarding “insurrection”, they should be incarcerated in D.C. in the same gulag conditions the J6 persons were held in and let them experience what their unlawful, totalitarian methodologies of incarceration did to others and will do to them. These are morally reprehensible people who care nothing about anyone but themselves.
They should be stopped as the lawful citizens of this state and our country are sick of these malcontents dictating to the rest of us.

Gavin Newsom’s defiance is nothing more than a cheap Vaudeville act. Urine runs down his leg constantly.
Witch Nancy Polousy with her leathery face and protruding skull can’t do anything for him. She can’t
speak coherently.
Each year my income tax documents come straight to ME. I’m expected to pay it directly to the Infernal Revenue Service. How does Newscum get involved? Here in Florida Governor De Santis does not get involved.
Question: How can Newscum get involved?
Gruesome Newsom is proof that Lie-beral Demonocrats are NOT qualified to run our country but they DO KNOW how to run it into the ground !!!
Why can’t Newsom go to prison? Illinois governors retire there all the time.
PLEASE, do not compare that idiot Newsom to Jefferson Davis,
Lying Bottom Feeders Scumbag Newsom
Gruesome NewScum is being given order – NewScum is a deep state stooge puppet whore – he sold his soul, seems his family tree sold their souls, like the Biden, Bush, Obama, Clinton and in CONgrASS sold their souls – to the devil – the deep state is deadheading to the antichrist – keep voting for them, those who do are being swept along – This is INDEED how the Biblical end times are coming to pass – Like opening up the pages of a child’s popup book.
Frankly It is good to know this. We know where the enemy is. We know their methods of attacks. We have to fight back. We have to protect those methods of attack from being infiltrated. We have to push back. We have to fight back. Fight back legally and physically when needed. For this we have to stay in training, Get your fat asses up and get into training, When you feel a 2 week bender coming on, get your ass to the gym or your home gym and get going, if the weather is right, get outside and train, Oxygenate your body.. Use nature or equipment in city park. Get out and say hi and keep the dialogue going on, We are more alike my friends, than we are different. We can’t let President Trump do all the work. We can all get out, get away from our computing device and say hi. Put the damn phone down and look up, look around, what do you see? If you don’t see people and it’s daylight and you can go outside, go outside and look at people. People are looking at people in cities and town all the time. Why? Because it’s the way we are created! IN Jesus’s Holy Mighty Name
