“…Also, from now on, MASKS WILL NOT BE ALLOWED to be worn at protests…”

Early this morning:

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump

Great job by the National Guard in Los Angeles after two days of violence, clashes and unrest. We have an incompetent Governor (Newscum) and Mayor (Bass) who were, as usual (just look at how they handled the fires, and now their VERY SLOW PERMITTING disaster. Federal permitting is complete!), unable to to handle the task. These Radical Left protests, by instigators and often paid troublemakers, will NOT BE TOLERATED. Also, from now on, MASKS WILL NOT BE ALLOWED to be worn at protests. What do these people have to hide, and why??? Again, thank you to the National Guard for a job well done!

Does this apply to ICE, too? Just asking.

Donald Trump (r) is clueless and a dumbass.

Also, early this morning:

Mayor Karen Bass @MayorOfLA
I want to thank LAPD and local law enforcement for their work tonight. I also want to thank
@GovernorNewsom
for his support.

Just to be clear, the National Guard has not been deployed in the City of Los Angeles.

“…Just to be clear, the National Guard has not been deployed in the City of Los Angeles.”

Last night Pete Hegseth (r) wet his pants:

Pete Hegseth @PeteHegseth

The violent mob assaults on ICE and Federal Law Enforcement are designed to prevent the removal of Criminal Illegal Aliens from our soil; a dangerous invasion facilitated by criminal cartels (aka Foreign Terrorist Organizations) and a huge NATIONAL SECURITY RISK.

Under President Trump, violence & destruction against federal agents & federal facilities will NOT be tolerated. It’s COMMON SENSE.

The @DeptofDefense is mobilizing the National Guard IMMEDIATELY to support federal law enforcement in Los Angeles. And, if violence continues, active duty Marines at Camp Pendleton will also be mobilized — they are on high alert.

“…Marines at Camp Pendleton will also be mobilized — they are on high alert.”

Pete Hegseth (r), the Secretary of Defense of the United States, is that stupid. And he’s a Fascist pig.

June 7, 2025 Washington, DC Statement

Statement from ICE Acting Director Todd Lyons on assaults against federal law enforcement officers in Los Angeles June 6

“What took place in Los Angeles yesterday was appalling. As rioters attacked federal ICE and law enforcement officers on the LA streets, Mayor Bass took the side of chaos and lawlessness over law enforcement.

Our brave officers were vastly outnumbered, as over 1,000 rioters surrounded and attacked a federal building. It took over two hours for the Los Angeles Police Department to respond, despite being called multiple times. The brave men and women of ICE were in Los Angeles arresting criminal illegal aliens including gang members, drug traffickers and those with a history of assault, cruelty to children, domestic violence, robbery, and smuggling.

These violent rioters will be held accountable if they harm federal officers, and make no mistake, ICE will continue to enforce our nation’s immigration laws and arrest criminal illegal aliens. Sanctuary politicians would do well to remember that impeding our efforts only endangers their communities, law enforcement officers, and the detainees they claim to support.”

“…Our brave officers were vastly outnumbered…” Not very popular, eh? Snowflakes.

It got worse today.

Trump threatens to crush ‘riots and looters’ as anti-ICE protests in LA continue into second day
Story by Mike Bedigan and Graig Graziosi

[….]

Earlier on Friday, Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, said he plans to send the National Guard to Los Angeles to combat protests against ICE that began this weekend following immigration raids in the city.

“We are making Los Angeles safer. Mayor Bass should be thanking us. She says they are going to mobilize—guess what? We are already mobilizing. We are going to bring the National Guard in tonight,” Homan told Fox News.

California Governor Gavin Newsom responded, calling Homan’s threat “purposefully inflammatory.”

If Governor Gavin Newscum, of California, and Mayor Karen Bass, of Los Angeles, can’t do their jobs, which everyone knows they can’t, then the Federal Government will step in and solve the problem, RIOTS & LOOTERS, the way it should be solved!!!

Department of Defense Security for the Protection of Department of Homeland Security Functions
Presidential Memoranda
June 7, 2025

MEMORANDUM FOR THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL

THE SECRETARY OF HOMELAND SECURITY

SUBJECT: Department of Defense Security for the Protection of Department of Homeland Security Functions

Numerous incidents of violence and disorder have recently occurred and threaten to continue in response to the enforcement of Federal law by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and other United States Government personnel who are performing Federal functions and supporting the faithful execution of Federal immigration laws. In addition, violent protests threaten the security of and significant damage to Federal immigration detention facilities and other Federal property. To the extent that protests or acts of violence directly inhibit the execution of the laws, they constitute a form of rebellion against the authority of the Government of the United States.

In light of these incidents and credible threats of continued violence, by the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, I hereby call into Federal service members and units of the National Guard under 10 U.S.C. 12406 to temporarily protect ICE and other United States Government personnel who are performing Federal functions, including the enforcement of Federal law, and to protect Federal property, at locations where protests against these functions are occurring or are likely to occur based on current threat assessments and planned operations. Further, I direct and delegate actions as necessary for the Secretary of Defense to coordinate with the Governors of the States and the National Guard Bureau in identifying and ordering into Federal service the appropriate members and units of the National Guard under this authority. The members and units of the National Guard called into Federal service shall be at least 2,000 National Guard personnel and the duration of duty shall be for 60 days or at the discretion of the Secretary of Defense. In addition, the Secretary of Defense may employ any other members of the regular Armed Forces as necessary to augment and support the protection of Federal functions and property in any number determined appropriate in his discretion.

To carry out this mission, the deployed military personnel may perform those military protective activities that the Secretary of Defense determines are reasonably necessary to ensure the protection and safety of Federal personnel and property The Secretary of Defense shall consult with the Attorney General and the Secretary of Homeland Security prior to withdrawing any personnel from any location to which they are sent. The Secretaries of Defense and Homeland Security may delegate to subordinate officials of their respective Departments any of the authorities conferred upon them by this memorandum.

SEIU California President David Huerta Injured, Detained at ICE Raid in Los Angeles
/ Press Releases
Los Angeles – David Huerta, President of SEIU California and SEIU- United Service Workers West was injured and detained at an ICE raid in Los Angeles today while exercising his First Amendment right to observe and document law enforcement activity.

**UPDATE FRIDAY 6/6 AT 5:30PM:

David Huerta, President of SEIU California and SEIU- United Service Workers West, has been released from the hospital where he was treated for injuries sustained during his arrest and at this time remains in custody. He made the following statement:

“What happened to me is not about me; This is about something much bigger. This is about how we as a community stand together and resist the injustice that’s happening. Hard-working people, and members of our family and our community, are being treated like criminals. We all collectively have to object to this madness because this is not justice. This is injustice. And we all have to stand on the right side of justice.”

Tia Orr, Executive Director of SEIU California, made the following statement:

“SEIU California members call for the immediate release of our President, David Huerta, who was injured and detained at the site of one of today’s ICE raids in Los Angeles. He is now receiving medical attention while in custody.

“We are proud of President Huerta’s righteous participation as a community observer, in keeping with his long history of advocating for immigrant workers and with the highest values of our movement: standing up to injustice, regardless of personal risk or the power of those perpetrating it.

“We call for an end to the cruel, destructive, and indiscriminate ICE raids that are tearing apart our communities, disrupting our economy, and hurting all working people. Immigrant workers are essential to our society: feeding our nation, caring for our elders, cleaning our workplaces, and building our homes.”

###

Over 750,000 Californians make up SEIU in California; we work throughout the state, in all 58 counties, and we represent California in all of its diversity. We are social workers, nurses, classroom aides, state workers, security officers, college professors, home care workers, janitors, doctors, and more.

The Los Angeles Rapid Response Network (LAARN) has scheduled a news conference in response to today’s raids for 4pm today at the LA Federal Building.

LAARN is a coalition of local and national organizations working together to protect immigrants from enforcement actions, defend constitutional rights, and provide legal and social services.

Today:

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump

Just inspected the site of the new Ballroom that will be built, compliments of a man known as Donald J. Trump, at the White House. For 150 years, Presidents, and many others, have wanted a beautiful Ballroom, but it never got built because nobody previously had any knowledge or experience in doing such things — But I do, like maybe nobody else, and it will go up quickly, and be a wonderful addition, very much in keeping with the magnificent White House itself. These are the “fun” projects I do while thinking about the World Economy, the United States, China, Russia, and lots of other Countries, places, and events. It will all be good, maybe even GREAT, depending on who is the President of the U.S.A.!

Keep the EV/solar incentive cuts in the bill, even though no oil & gas subsidies are touched (very unfair!!), but ditch the MOUNTAIN of DISGUSTING PORK in the bill.

In the entire history of civilization, there has never been legislation that both big and beautiful. Everyone knows this!

I don’t mind Elon turning against me, but he should have done so months ago. This is one of the Greatest Bills ever presented to Congress. It’s a Record Cut in Expenses, $1.6 Trillion Dollars, and the Biggest Tax Cut ever given. If this Bill doesn’t pass, there will be a 68% Tax Increase, and things far worse than that. I didn’t create this mess, I’m just here to FIX IT. This puts our Country on a Path of Greatness. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

Mark Alford (r) [2025 file photo]

Yesterday, from Mark Alford (r):

Congressman Mark Alford
[June 4, 2025]
We’ve received the rescissions package from POTUS this week, $9.4 billion in taxpayer savings identified by DOGE.
It’s time to rein in the waste, fraud, and abuse found in our government.
House Republicans are ready to codify these cuts. Let’s get it done 👏

For others, the math is not difficult. Some of the responses:

Every 10 years or so Republicans try to shut down Sesame Streer and sell Yellowstone to ExxonMobil and fire all the Tornado warning people and tell us you’re cutting “Waste”.
Maybe the real Waste was inside y’all all along.

The felon is trying to rehire workers and realizing you really do need 24 /7 staffing in weather forecasting offices and air traffic control..

Bad combover. Check. Too long red tie. Check. Orange spray tan. Check. Tiny hands. Check. Cluelessness. Check. Conviction. Check.

Must be looking in the mirror again!!

DOGE staff cost more than $8.4 billion. What happened to the trillions$$ in savings?

Well, someone did get a lot of data out of this.

no facts or reported savings, ALL TALK & MUSK’S BS.

litigation and buyouts over the unjustly fired people is going to take those paltry savings down to almost nothing. Indiscriminately firing and cutting essential programs does NOT save money. It just destroys the best parts of our government.

When will the DOJ be indicting those accused of fraud?

that was my point. Fraud is a crime. And if dimwits, like our Representative, want to throw around words like fraud, I’d like them to back up their claims.

Is Elon on your ignore list now ?

The truth is DOGE cost us more money than it saved. Sorry Mark.

Mark, be careful! Musk and DOGE are becoming persona non grata to Trump over the Big Beautiful Bill! That’s Latin for “the scam is about to break!” Seems like you voted for it!

Narrator: “He did.”

I don’t believe you. Show us proof. Be transparent.

Mark, I’m wondering why your staffers let you keep posting? It’s clearly 70-80% negatve feedback. I know you think its people from out of your district, but that’s a moot point. You are an elected official. You not only represent your district but you also represent the country as a whole.

Mark Alford
[….] I’m ok with dissent

Yeah, sure, Mark.

So who is being charged with all this alleged fraud?
Looking forward to your next town hall 🤣

Just stay away from cutting Medicaid! I can’t believe you think people elected you to make life harder on the poorest people in our country and easier on the billionaires! Jerk!

Too late.

Lies. Where are the receipts?

Funny if there was fraud, there should be indictments.

Do you realize that some of the 10.9 million left uninsured (CBO) live in your district? I’m guessing there are & they WON’T be voting for you in the midterms.

Yeah Mark has joined the lairs club and has no remorse doing so

All I would like to know it this. What is that you are smoking and where can I get some?

We all know how bogus DOGE reports have been
[….]

You have no idea how to do your job.

He does. It’s just that his employers are different than you think.

Maybe they need to raise revenue instead. That could be done by repealing the tax breaks given to the wealthy since Reagan was in office. See? Problem solved!!!!!

When will there be charges filed against folks for all the “fraud and abuse”??

Identify waste and fraud? Absolutely.
Blindly accept the findings of President Elon without verifying everything? Stupid.
This “savings” you claim can’t simply be terminating employees, ending programs and cutting off Congressionally authorized spending.
[….]

Mr. Alford, when will you have a real, in-person, town hall, instead of another meet and greet, or a rigged, virtual town halls where you get to pick who attends and what questions you’ll answer? Where you have to listen to your constituents instead of just talking at them to tell them your party’s line?

The only abuse is DOGE wasting taxpayer money and the abuse the middle and lower classes are taking to give tax breaks to the rich

I call bullsh#t mark

Absolute fucking lies! Why do you think we’re so stupid we don’t know what the OBBB is about to do?

Congressman Mark Alford a/k/a Cockwomble – as usual, you lie. I think it’s so funny that Musk is turning on you all. What will come out next? Liar. You didn’t even read the bill before you voted on it. You and MTG can suck it.

If there was so much fraud found why don’t I hear about who, where and when do prosecutors start. Until l hear those answers stfu.

Musk is selling your bitch asses out now scammer

YOU’RE SO FULL A SHIT !!!!!!!!!

Hey fake weather boy the only real fraud, waste, and abuse in government are the feckless Muskrumpian shills like yourself. Time for you to go!

Funny it started at 2 trillion then went to 1 trillion now 9 B what a bunch of jamokes

Liar! Waiting for your pants to catch fire.
But seriously, if there Was waste and fraud, where is the DOJ? CHARGES BEING FILED? NO. Because there wasn’t. Liar LIAR!!

Why do you post misinformation and lie?

Where’s the fraud prosecutions?

Congressman Mark Alford you’re quite a terrible liar and an incredible piece of propagandizing shit!

An anti-LGBTQIA+ protest sign outside Saturdays’ Pride Festival in Warrensburg, Missouri:

Vivid imagery there. Which translation of that text, though? Is that “when” or “whom”? Just asking.

This morning:

“If they have to do it, they should do it in private.”

“Yeah!”

“It’s not right, doing it in the open where kids can see.”

“Yeah! It’s not like they have to, it’s something they choose to do.”

“True. Hate is a lifestyle choice.”

This image of Pastor Heather Jepsen supporting the LGBTQIA+ community outside yesterday’s Pride Festival in Warrensburg, first published here, was later reproduced on a social media site:

The young “christian” woman getting mad at the word of the Lord. Rev. Heather reading the Bible about the teachings of Jesus. She gave the opening blessing to our Pride Event. She is a blessing.

A self-righteous right wingnut responded:

Hey [….]! the sweet young lady that’s being being yelled at by the lady with the megaphone is ironically the same one you harassed last year by sticking your phone in HER car and recording her.
In case you need a refresher…

The conversation continues:

[….] not sweet . She trespassed last year and this year she pushed up against a minister, an amputee causing balance issues and pain. She could have walked over and positioned herself 2 or 3 feet away but pushed into her. At least she learned not to tresspass and park her car on private property. There is some hope for her.

About last year.

[….] as to the recording someone who was trespassing you do understand they were trespassing? No law broken. There is always the opportunity not to tresspass then you won’t have an old guy telling you to leave or recording cars on property that I rented for the day.

Others pile on to the self-righteous right wingnut:

[….] you’re not really a martyr if you’re the one hammering in the nails on that cross you keep putting yourself on.

Okay, that one left a mark.

The self-righteous right wingnut responded:

Why would she get mad at having a megaphone shoved in her face? Great picture, saving it.

Uh, no. 1) That picture is owned by the photographer. It was taken of individuals acting in public and published at a news site. It is covered by copyright. 2) The toy bullhorn was not shoved in her face, she stepped into it and stood there.

The sequence of 47 images. The published image is sixteenth in the sequence:

By the way, for the clueless, those 47 images are covered by copyright, too.

Others continue piling on to the self-righteous right wingnut:

[….] she didn’t have a megaphone shoved in her face. She moved her self in front of the megaphone. These protestors are a bunch of whiny bigots that try to cause trouble. They harass people and then play the victim. Don’t fall for their scam

[….] she positioned herself there willingly to smother someone reading scripture.
But I’m sure they’ll find a way to manipulate it.

[….] the young woman walked over to the minister and placed her face there. She pushed her body up against the AMPUTEE causing her balance issues and pain. Make sure when you share the picture you share that. Who bumps an amputee ? Why get up in someone’s face? Why get upset with someone reading a Bible? Listen or ignore but respect the Reverend and allow her the space to read from the Bible.

[….] save the accurate description of it, too.

[….] Rev Heather’s church is open twice a week to feed the homeless, they help get documents/ IDs so they can get jobs, someplace to live, medical care. They open on very cold nights to insure everyone walks up alive in the morning. The cult that insist on trespassing and harassing others? The young woman walked over and placed herself in this position.
Question? How many meals have you bought ? How many meals have you cooked? Miles driven to help someone who lost documents in a fire to get duplicates? You ever sat up all night keeping a shelter open ?
If you belong to a church what actions has the church taken to help the poor or homeless ?
I have donated cows and the processing fee, usually a thousand dollars a year to homeless or abuse shelters, I usually drive 80 miles a month and spend 4 or 5 nights a winter keeping a warming shelter open.
I think you might want to take a look at your life and think about your church and ask yourself why do you get mad at others who clearly do good works in the community.
If you are a Christian why lie?

Pastor Heather’s description on her social media page:

A few words about this picture. I’m counterprotesting the haters at yesterdays Pride event. I am reading the Bible out of a TOY (!) megaphone I found at 5 below. 🤣 This is apparently so threatening to haters that they held a prayer circle, tried to block me with their signs, and started getting physical to push me out of their space. You would have thought Christians would like to hear Bible readings on a loud speaker. 🤨 But 1 John, the gospel of John, and Acts are taking things a bit too far. How small your god must be if even reading the Biblie itself is a threat. 🏳️‍🌈 God is love friends – don’t let anyone tell you different!!

Thus endeth the lesson.
