Something Doesn’t Add Up

The lefty protesters are out of control.

If one moves his X feed fast enough, he might not be sure if he is watching a massive protest in Tehran or an anti-ICE action in Minneapolis. While the former involves brave and resolute Persians fighting their lunatic theocracy, the latter involves lunatic college grads fighting our brave and resolute law enforcement officers (LEOs). If one could pin down one of these overactive zealots and ask a series of questions, I would venture to guess that on most issues in life, officialdom earns her respect and cooperation:

- If a TSA agent asks her to open her bag for inspection, she would do so.

- If a state trooper asked to see a driver’s license and car registration, she would produce the same.

- If the IRS invited her for an audit, she would fully participate.

- If an agent of the local health authority told her to put on a mask and stay indoors, she would do it in a jiffy.

So, if we have a person who, in all other spheres of life, follows the law, why does she suddenly become a deranged ogre on the subject of illegal aliens and legal enforcement of laws relating to illegal aliens? I have seen videos where some of these trouble-makers pound on ICE or other law enforcement car windows or try to block the movement of the same with their bodies or vehicles. The whole world saw the woman who directed her car toward an officer, who responded by shooting her. Why are these people so out of control on their handful of pet issues, like illegal aliens, hating Jews/loving Hamas, and wishing ill on Donald Trump and all of those around him?

While one might say that many of those involved in lefty protests are paid by billionaires funneling their money to relevant NGOs and are simply giving their employers their money’s worth, I find that answer hard to accept. The anti-Tesla/anti-Musk/anti-DOGE protests all went until three in the afternoon, and then everybody packed up and left. That, to me, is a classic paid activity: they rented our services until a certain hour, and when Big Ben struck three or whatever was in the deal, we packed up and went to the next gig. There was anti-Tesla violence, and many individuals were identified by the electric car’s ubiquitous cameras for intentionally causing damage, mostly through “keying” or scratching the paint. What leads to the zealotry of the Left? A decent wage does not seem to be enough.

Through the crooked education system of the past 40 years, most students who have made it to and through college have been presented a picture of the United States as a terrible country. It was founded on the backs of slaves, it is inherently racist, whites have unfair privilege and benefit inordinately from a system that is gamed against the (trumpets, please), blacks, gays, women, Latinos, trans, etc. Those people described above who pay their taxes and open their trolleys at the airport ultimately see the U.S. as a horrible country, one that is irredeemable. Letting in every person from backward countries is a form of penitence that the awful country can do. And while normal Americans see the illegal foreigners taking huge amounts of American money, oftentimes through fraud, as in Minnesota, the lefties simply see the “refugees” as righteous unfortunates in need of our help. At the highest level of the Democratic pyramid, the illegals are a buffer of voters in their favor. They don’t want tighter voting laws, as they like to have various means, such as illegals voting and mail-in ballots, to guarantee victory. The Republicans in the Senate are not so revolted by such practices to advance the SAVE Act. They, too, like their favorite illegal alien nannies, cooks, gardeners, and drivers.

The Left is so ideologically rigid that it cannot see the buffoonery of its behavior. A fellow put out a video in which he went to college campuses to speak to students. He quoted what he claimed were racist comments made by Donald Trump. The students were aghast and angry. Then he told them that the quotes in question came from either Barack Obama or Joe Biden. The confused student (pardon the redundancy) did not know what to do. They found the words offensive when they came under the orange hair. But when they were associated with their ideological pals, they could not offer any criticism. It’s like the real stories of those who stopped clapping before Stalin finished. And we see it on display again. If one wants to accept their stupid justifications for supporting Hamas rapists and murderers, then it goes something like those evil Israelis are so evil toward the poor, holy, morally pure Palestinians that they deserve anything that they got on October 7, 2023. I would have had a tiny bit more respect for them if they had vociferously denounced the rapes, tortures, family burnings, and the like, and then launched into Israel. But they could not denounce Hamas, because, like with Nigel when asked to recalibrate his guitar amp, he could only stammer, “These go to 11.” They can’t think outside of a very narrow straitjacket of ideas. And we see it on display again today.

If one cuts and pastes their arguments, then the Keffiyeh Klub should be marching furiously in favor of the Iranian people who are being mowed down in the streets, dragged wounded out of hospitals, and having their businesses burned down for having gone on strike. But there is nary a word, because the lefties have signed a multiyear contract with hardcore Islam. They like Hamas, Hezbollah, and now it turns out the Mullahs. They are not in favor of the poor, downtrodden Iranian people begging for freedom denied them for nearly 50 years. Nope. They’re going with the thugocracy. They jumped up and down when Iranian missiles hit residential buildings in Israel. They were thrilled with more dead Jews. And like my brother’s old red Mustang, their car has no reverse. They can’t walk and chew bubble gum at the same time. They can’t sit down with an iPad and do comparisons between poor Palestinians and poor Persians. Or between the “bad” Israeli government and the really bad theocratic government. And with that, their emptiness is revealed.

The violent acts of anti-ICE protesters in Minnesota and beyond go far beyond a mere paycheck. Those involved hate the U.S., and as in England, they feel that the illegal foreigners are far more noble than the tainted locals. That’s an outcome of so many protesters being 1) white, 2) college-educated, and 3) female. These are people whose whole lives are based on lies sold to them by overpriced colleges and professorial sophistry. They are attacking fellow Americans who are empowered by both federal and local law to do that which they are charged with doing: finding illegal aliens and removing them from the United States. Entry into the U.S. in an unauthorized manner is a crime. Period. Many of those being arrested and eventually deported have other crimes to their names, including but not limited to murder, fraud, theft, and illegal voting. Jumping in front of an ICE Suburban to protect a South American criminal fits perfectly with marching in favor of psychotic murderers of Hamas. One young woman at the Nova festival heard her friends being shot to death, and she heard them begging not to be killed. She said that they kept shooting until the bodies bounced off the ground.

The Left has lost its mind. There is no longer anyone with whom to have conversations. They are little better than the criminals they work so hard to protect.
