I simply don’t get why these Democrats are preventing President Trump on crime points. Are they in favor of extra crime?
If Democrats had been sensible — which I do know is asking lots — they might let Trump attempt to repair the problems. If he fails, then they’ve ammunition, and if he succeeds, even higher.
Dems have fought Trump on all the things, and don’t have anything to indicate for it. It’s time they acquired again to defending their residents, and acquired off Trump’s again.

The one individuals who could be intimidated by ICE and the Nationwide Guard are unlawful aliens and different criminals.
When Pritzker and California Gov. Gavin Newsom — two presumptive 2028 Democratic presidential candidates — are all however admitting their electoral prospects are tied on to immigrants and criminals voting in our elections, you realize that sanity is totally misplaced.
It’s time for Democrats to search out new leaders who Americans will vote for, as a substitute of attempting to import the hordes of the Third World to change into everlasting Democrats and lifelong welfare recipients.

One wonders what goes on within the thoughts of an individual like Trump when he withdraws former President Joe Biden’s extension of safety for former Vice President Kamala Harris.
Trump have to be totally conscious of the hazard he’s inflicting upon Harris, granted our extraordinary and dismal document of gun violence and the enthusiastic loyalty of his MAGA followers, who don’t appear able to any ethical judgment.
In impact, Trump is throwing her to the wolves for disposal.
