After calling ICE the ‘Gestapo,” on Friday, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz compared the U.S. Army’s preparations for its 250th anniversary parade in Washington, DC, to a parade we would see in North Korea. He is hoping for rain to pour down on our military on Saturday instead of honoring these gallant people.

For the first time in the history of the Catholic Church, the leader hails from the United States. Robert Francis Prevost was born in Chicago in 1955. The College of Cardinals elected him as the Holy Father, and he took the name Pope Leo XIV. Some Catholics never thought they’d see an American pope in their lifetime, but Leo is showing his Midwestern pride in Vatican City. A photographer recently captured the pontiff walking in the Vatican wearing his traditional white robe and a white hat. Well, a Chicago White Socks baseball cap, that is. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Pubity (@pubity) American Catholics Loved Seeing Pope Leo Embracing His American Heritage Pubity shared the photo of Pope Leo in his White Sox Cap with a giant smile on his face. “His choice to wear the cap while in full papal attire added a layer of casual charm to his public image and instantly went viral,” an Instagram post reads. “Back in Chicago, the White Sox had already honored their most famous fan with a mural at Rate Field. Now, they’ll celebrate him further with a special event on Saturday, hosted by the Archdiocese of Chicago. The day will feature the premiere of a video message from Pope Leo XIV addressed to young people around the world.” Seeing Pope Leo in a White Sox cap came as a shock to some people. “Would never thought I’d see a pope in a baseball cap,” a follower shared. Others loved seeing the pope representing his heritage. “Not religious or a baseball fan but that’s still pretty cool even to me for some reason, someone wrote. This person agreed. “I’m not Catholic, but Pope Leo gives me hope.” “The yankee in me kinda loathes him. But the catholic in me thinks this is the best papacy since JP2. The guy is just unmistakably cool,” a Catholic joked. This story’s featured image is by Vatican Media via Vatican Pool/Getty Images.

Two words: air conditioning

'depraved sexual gain'

The entire career of race-baiter Al Sharpton was founded on falsehoods about the Tawana Brawley scam. Nearly everything the Left told us about the Trayvon Martin fight was false. The “hands up, don’t shoot” Ferguson fable and the Covington kids myth were quickly exposed. The Duke lacrosse and Jussie Smollett melodramas were laughable. Russian “collusion,” “laptop” disinformation, and Joe Biden “fit as a fiddle” gaslighting were utter lies. But more recently, the hard Left lost its mind championing a host of violent, unsavory characters. The illegal alien and El Salvadorian national, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, was portrayed as a victim of unfair deportation in the Left’s larger, losing war for open borders. Abrego Garcia became a “Maryland Man”: a supposed poor victim of Trump overreach. He was constructed as a family man engaged in construction to feed his family, who somehow forgot to become “documented” and was deported. In truth, Garcia is now facing felony indictments for human trafficking. He was a likely MS-13 gang member, a violent and bullying woman-beater, and rarely employed gainfully in construction. Luigi Mangione was a rich, spoiled kid who dabbled in Jacobin politics. Posing as a revolutionary, Mangione ambushed Brian Thompson, the CEO of UnitedHealthcare. He murdered him in cold blood near a New York hotel. Instantly, some on the Left embraced Mangione as a revolutionary hero who delivered justice to a supposedly greedy corporate capitalist. Mohammed Sabry Soliman, like Garcia, was a violent illegal alien. He bragged about his hatred of Jews in general and Israel in particular. So Soliman made some Molotov cocktails and tried to incinerate Jewish marchers advocating on behalf of Israeli hostages still held by Hamas. Soliman’s wife and five children, to whom Soliman filmed a video explaining his dedication to violent jihad, were also illegal aliens. Soliman may well have preferred to burn Jews to remind us of the fires of the Holocaust ovens. In the mind of the mainstream liberal media, the Soliman family was cruelly detained by the evil Donald Trump administration that was considering returning the illegal aliens to their Middle East homes. But recently, during the LA riots, the Left went completely crazy as the entire Democrat Party and California state officials sided with violent protesters and illegal aliens. The open border rioters soon got the message that left-wing California officials were on their side. So, throngs began burning cars. Illegal aliens waved Mexican flags and burned American flags. Protesters spat on law enforcement and pelted them with rocks, firecrackers, and concrete blocks. Stores were looted. Critical freeways were swarmed and shut down. And for what? To protest the legal efforts of U.S. Immigration of Customs Enforcement to serve deportation warrants to a few hundred of some 10 million-12 million illegal aliens who had illegally swarmed into the U.S. during the Joe Biden administration’s four-year destruction of immigration law. California Governor Gavin Newsom damned the federal immigration efforts as “chaotic” and “reckless” and seemed obsessed only with Trump. Then Newsom dared ICE to arrest him. Like some antebellum, neo-Confederate, states’ rights activist, Newsom threatened to withhold California’s federal income taxes from the federal government—a possible felony. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass—recently infamous for junketing in Ghana while Pacific Palisades burned down—warned ICE that, “We will not stand for this.” What did her threat mean? Did she intend to use force to support the street thugs against her fellow American officers? California Democrat Congresswoman Norma Torres screamed at overwhelmed ICE agents seeking to issue arrest warrants with the obscene threat, “Get the f*** out of LA!” As the mob violence increased and public outrage grew, a desperate and now embarrassed Newsom could only double down on his obsessions with Trump. What has caused Newsom’s Trump Derangement Syndrome? Is it because Trump called out the National Guard and Marines to aid an overwhelmed Los Angeles Police Department to stop the violence that left-wing officials and the media had appeased? In sum, is the Left once again trying to commit political suicide? Polls showed overwhelming public support for deporting those who illegally entered and reside in the U.S., especially the nearly half a million believed criminals. Trump’s own most supportive demographic in recent polls has been Hispanics. Like all Americans, they are appalled by violent thugs and illegal aliens waving Mexican flags who have no wish to return to Mexico while burning American flags as they demand illegally to stay in the U.S. The more the incoherent Left claimed the protests were “peaceful” and damned the Trump administration for sending them help, the more the violence continued. And the more the public was relieved that Trump was trying to stop the riots. Democrats currently lack sane and effective leaders. But that is no excuse to swoon over creepy gang-bangers, spoiled-brat assassins, antisemitic burners of Jews, and illegal aliens breaking the law and damning America—while waving Mexican flags.

Despite Democrat efforts to condemn the Trump administration’s arrests of illegal immigrants, voter approval of deportation efforts continues to rise.   A recent poll from Napolitan News Service found that 56% of respondents either strongly or somewhat approve of the deportations of illegal immigrants throughout the U.S.  The country’s eyes remain glued to the Los Angeles riots. In the same poll, 79% of respondents reported that they were following the events either “very closely” or “somewhat closely.” Partisan attention differed slightly, with 82% of Democrats and 77% of Republicans reporting they were following the LA news.   President Donald Trump called up the National Guard to LA on June 8, after protesters angry at the arrests of illegal immigrants turned violent, setting cars on fire, looting stores, and overwhelming the LA Police Department. California Gov. Gavin Newsom raised an outcry over Trump’s actions, sparking heated debate between the two politicians.   The controversy appears to have had little effect on voter opinion, however. Just two days before Trump deployed the National Guard, his job approval rating hit over 50% for the first time in a poll conducted by Napolitan. An RMG Research poll two days after the National Guard was sent in found that 52% of respondents approved of Trump’s decision.   When questioned on the efforts to arrest and deport illegal immigrants, whether in LA or across the nation, respondents were positive. Fifty-five percent of respondents supported the LA deportations and 43% opposed them. Men remain more supportive of the nationwide deportation efforts than women (64% to 50%, respectively), following trends from earlier polls and reflecting a tendency for more men to hold Republican views.   As riots in the Californian city still rage, a federal judge declared Thursday that Trump’s decision to call in the National Guard was a violation of the U.S. Constitution, ordering that the president return control of the troops to the state by midday Friday. A few hours later, however, an order from the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals temporarily paused the order until a hearing on Tuesday.  The Napolitan News Service poll of 1,000 registered voters was conducted from June 11-12. The margin of error is plus or minus 3.1 percentage points.   The post In Face of LA Chaos, Majority of Americans Still Approve of Trump Deportations  appeared first on The Daily Signal.
