Morning all.

Spicy one to start the week and a post all nation loving Americans should read as LA devolves into chaos at the ends of criminals, illegal immigrants, and feckless leftist leadership. Hate to say we called it again but we did. This is one of the most important posts of the year.

Summer of love 2.0 has arrived, buckle up.

The stacks of bricks are back. The calls for mobilization online are back. And now you’ve got millions of willing participants to join in on the fun in streets across America.

Over the years, it’s been pretty commonplace for anyone going against the mainstream narrative to get called an extremist. In fact, anyone who’s not for open borders, forced vaccines, unchecked crime, DEI, and cultural marxism has been labeled racist, ignorant, extremist, nationalist, far right, or prejudice.

I joke (though it’s pretty much true) that if you haven’t been called any of those things in the last several years, you and I probably wouldn’t get along, but I suspect many of you have.

I endured it — all through my commentary and time online during the BLM/Antifa summer of love, pandemic, during other major geopolitical events like the War in Ukraine, and the hyper partisan political environment that has characterized the last 7 or 8 years in the US and Western nations.

It’s easy to talk about stocks and crypto and business in a straightforward way (and we’ll do that tomorrow) — but it’s not easy to speak the truth when it comes to issues with far more gravity like the longevity of your nation and people.

For months I have talked about the resurgence of violence in the US from the far left, consequences of an open border, and shifting demographics inside Western countries. I wrote a specific post on it, not that long ago. Markets were pumping then and it fell through the cracks a bit but this week it’s back on the rise do due to shitshow in LA.

I find that when I write about serious topics — we get super high engagement, paid sub conversions, and great reception. I can only venture a guess as to why that is but I think it has to do with the fact that there are few places people can go anymore to learn what’s actually going on.

You’re certainly not having a conversation about the threat of violent leftist activists and the subversion of our country at the water cooler with Joy from Human Resources. She’s all for it. But it’s not just people who are overtly supporting movements like these that make this frustrating. It’s moderate Northeast soccer moms, it’s indifferent tech bros, it’s people who are afraid of being called “extreme” that have gotten us to where we are.

I can tell you right now that my coverage of the events in LA so far has been aggressively throttled by Instagram and other platforms — they don’t want you to see what’s actually happening because it’s objectively unsettling to anyone with a pair of eyes (if you’re not up to speed you need to get on X).

The US is under direct threat from foreign radicals and far left agitators and organizations who support them. That’s the bottom line. No amount of social justice coping, fascist insults, or emotional posturing changes that fact.

Over the past 48 hours, Los Angeles has seen violent protests in response to federal immigration raids that detained over 100 immigrants in key work areas, including Home Depot and garment factories. Demonstrators, mostly from immigrant communities, clashed with federal agents and local police in neighborhoods like Compton, downtown, and along major highways, causing mass disruption and chaos.

The unrest escalated with fires, vehicle destruction, flag burning, and injuries to both protesters and reporters, while some attacked ICE vehicles and officers.

I don’t know about you, but I am fucking tired of this.

Tired of anti American scum rising up among us, tired of us entertaining their lunacy, tired of people supporting lawlessness and criminal behavior, and tired of the lackluster response we give these groups of people who have no desire to assimilate and no respect for our nation. They are here to take and conquer. No cohabitate or contribute.

I am tired of the “mostly peaceful” tag line the far left, media, and their cronies use to describe behavior to attempt to legitimize it.

I am not alone — we have reached a crucial breaking point in the United States.

We’re going to cover it extensively today but a few things are pretty obvious at this point:

  • An invasion of the US has already taken place

  • There are powerful organizations helping finance and direct these events

  • A substantial portion of the population has no desire to assimilate to the US

  • Violence is perfectly acceptable to this group for the purpose of fighting back

  • Leftist leaders have been and will be willing enablers of this behavior

  • People are okay with illegal immigration entirely

  • More violence and unrest is on the horizon

Nation loving citizens of the United States should be deeply disturbed by the events of the last 72 hours. The enemies of our country have made themselves clear and shown you that they intend to wage a literal war against the societal norms and order of our country. They do not care about engaging in a conversation. They have zero interest in assimilating into our country and being a contributing member of what makes the US the place everyone wants to come to. They are here to undermine law and order, and take what they want.

Now more than ever it is important to grasp what all of this means even if you are late to the realization that there are forces at work in the US bent on subverting our entire nation and people.

This is not going to go away magically, to the contrary is it likely going to spread to other cities and intensify. It will become too large to ignore. It has the capacity to alter the trajectory of this country and the people living in it forever. It might even spill into your cul-de-sac or neighborhood.

Are you prepared for that? Chances are, you’re not.
