‘Trump Is America’s Hitler’: The Left’s 10 Most Outrageous Comments About LA Riots

Although protesters injured 10 deputies with the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Office on the first day of riots alone, the Left has attempted to portray the anti-ICE riots as “peaceful protests” that “America’s Hitler,” Donald Trump, is using as a pretext to call in the National Guard. The following are some of the most outrageous statements on the topic. 1. Trump is “America’s Hitler.” Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., doubled down on the Democrats’ 2024 campaign’s losing message, telling Saturday’s “No Kings” rally, “Donald Trump is America’s Hitler.” The far-left Democrat and former Fang Fang associate threatened to use nuclear weapons against American citizens in a 2018 social media post. “Donald Trump is America’s Hitler” – Eric Swalwell On the day two Minnesota politicians were shot, that’s the rhetoric the retarded Rep from California is going with? pic.twitter.com/IbtwZWxYP6— Bear??? (@VP72801) June 14, 2025 2. Trump is committing “domestic terrorism.” In the left-wing worldview, law enforcement is terrorism, and left-wing violence is peaceful speech. “I would argue that this is not immigration policy that we’re seeing unfold. This is domestic terrorism,” Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove, D-Calif., told CNN. California Rep. Kamlager-Dove calls ICE’s effort to deport violent illegal criminals “domestic terrorism.” pic.twitter.com/CNB7CDx8bA— Jerry Calengor (@calengor1) June 11, 2025 “Are you saying the ICE raids are domestic terrorism?” asked the apparently shocked CNN anchor, referring to Immigration and Customs Enforcement. “Yes, I would argue that you are terrorizing communities,” replied Kamlager-Dove. By the same logic, Eliot Ness terrorized Italian American communities (most of whom were, at least, U.S. citizens). 3. Trump wants to “flex his authoritarian muscles.” Trump has no real interest in quelling lawlessness, Rep. Linda Sanchez, D-Calif., told CNN’s Kasie Hunt over the first weekend of the protests. “He wants to provoke a violent reaction because then he wants to use that as an excuse to send in these troops and flex his authoritarian muscles,” she said. 4. ICE agents “are provoking” preexisting riots. Some Democrats accused ICE agents of lying about being attacked. “Video after video has shown that these agents are the ones provoking these protesters and also making up aggression by these protesters that later video shows, people were not aggressive,” claimed Rep. Joaquin Castro, D-Texas. In 2019, Castro posted the names of people in his district who donated to Trump, telling MSNBC, “What I would like for them to do is think twice about supporting” the president. Democrat Rep. Joaquin Castro (TX) says he posted the names of Trump donors in his district and included where they work to make people “think twice” about supporting the president pic.twitter.com/EN05ilK2L4— Ryan Saavedra (@RealSaavedra) August 8, 2019 5. Kamala Harris: Trump wants to “provoke chaos.” Former Vice President (and potential 2028 Democratic presidential hopeful) Kamala Harris weighed in on the protests on June 8, saying, “Deploying the National Guard is a dangerous escalation meant to provoke chaos. In addition to the recent ICE raids in Southern California and across our nation, it is part of the Trump administration’s cruel, calculated agenda to spread panic and division. This administration’s actions are not about public safety—they’re about stoking fear. … And as the LAPD, mayor, and governor have noted, demonstrations in defense of our immigrant neighbors have been overwhelmingly peaceful.” But as Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna cited his deputies’ injuries, he described the “big difference between the peaceful protesters and the individuals who are coming out with weapons to attack our folks.” My statement on what's unfolding in Los Angeles. pic.twitter.com/rujs8mrVPK— Kamala Harris (@KamalaHarris) June 8, 2025 No word on whether Harris will raise bail for those incarcerated. 6. “There was no violence”? In a classic example of gaslighting, Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., encouraged liberals not to believe evidence they saw with their own eyes. “Get it in your head! … Don’t think that somehow, because they called out the National Guard, there was violence. There was no violence,” Waters insisted on June 10. “Get it straight, and don’t just rely on what you’re being told or the few incidents that you saw.” When asked about Waters’ comments, U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., displayed his Southern roots. “Bless her heart,” he replied. Maxine Waters says there was “no violence” in LA…Ummm… ok. pic.twitter.com/Ig31KdY6Eh— Tim Young (@TimRunsHisMouth) June 10, 2025 7. The overwhelmed police force has everything under control. “Local authorities have this under control,” insisted Rep. Pete Aguilar, D-Calif., on June 10, accusing Trump of “inflaming those tensions.” But Los Angeles Police Department Chief Jim McDonnell told local media just one day earlier, “We are overwhelmed. We had individuals out there shooting commercial-grade fireworks at our officers. That can kill you.” ? DCNF reporter @AndiNapier PRESSES Democrats on LA riots: "How would YOU characterize what we're seeing from these individuals in LA right now?"REP. AGUILAR: "Local authorities have this under control."REP. LIEU: "The National Guard could've done nothing about it." pic.twitter.com/VNNlJLK97d— Daily Caller (@DailyCaller) June 10, 2025 8. “Mostly peaceful” burning cars. A California Democrat attempted to portray Trump as a dictator using the military to thwart the First Amendment. Unfortunately, as she made the allegation, video footage discredited her in real time. “We are having an administration that is targeting peaceful protests,” Rep. Nanette Barragán, D-Calif., told CNN’s “State of the Union” on June 8 as the split-screen showed rioters on motorcycles waving the Mexican flag as they circled a burning car. “The president is sending the National Guard because he doesn’t like the scenes. He doesn’t like the scenes of people peacefully protesting,” she continued as CNN promptly stopped showing footage of the vehicular inferno from the other side of the screen. California Democrat Rep. Nanette Barragán calls the Los Angeles riots "Peaceful Protests" on CNN while the network displays a literal car on fire.Barragán: "We have an administration that is targeting peaceful protests."Remarkable. pic.twitter.com/3DDkAciwZa— Collin Rugg (@CollinRugg) June 8, 2025 9. Rioters are just “having fun watching cars burn.” On June 8, KABC-TV in Los Angeles anchor Jory Rand warned, if Trump moved law enforcement to stop the violence, he could “turn what is just a bunch of people having fun watching cars burn into a massive confrontation.” Protesters set at least six Waymo electric taxis on fire during the riots. “Burning lithium-ion batteries release toxic gases, including hydrogen fluoride, posing risks to responders and those nearby,” warned the LA Police Department. ?? Traffic Advisory?? To our media partners, demonstrators and others who may enter the area of Los Angeles St, North of Arcadia and South of Alameda: Burning lithium-ion batteries release toxic gases, including hydrogen fluoride, posing risks to responders and those nearby.…— LAPD Central Division (@LAPDCentral) June 9, 2025 10. Irrational exuberance? Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., warned, “You always have to be careful, whether you see a burned car or a broken window, whatever it is. It may be the exuberance of the moment.” Pelosi actually made the broader point that “when there is a large gathering of people, the anarchists see it as an opportunity, and they move in.” According to Nancy, if you see a car burning in LA, it may just be "the exuberance of the moment!” pic.twitter.com/pnPObrNhZC— Townhall.com (@townhallcom) June 10, 2025 Between June 7 through June 11, CNN and MSNBC described the 2025 Los Angeles riots as “peaceful” 211 times: 123 on CNN and 88 on MSNBC, according to a study from the Media Research Center. There have been attempts to set the record straight. “Peaceful protests? Call them what they are: violent, anti-American riots,” demanded U.S. Customs and Border Protection, showing footage of the violence. Peaceful protests? Call them what they are: violent, anti-American riots. pic.twitter.com/aSIA3wcX6n— CBP (@CBP) June 9, 2025 “What’s happening in Los Angeles aren’t ‘peaceful rallies,’ They’re Third World insurrection riots on American soil,” said the White House. A few simple truths:–Looting an Adidas store isn’t justice.–Burning cities isn’t speech.–@GavinNewsom isn’t a good governor.And what’s happening in Los Angeles aren’t 'peaceful rallies' — they’re third-world insurrection riots on American soil. pic.twitter.com/hc6Ym4gXdO— The White House (@WhiteHouse) June 11, 2025 “The American people are not as stupid as these Democrats are trying to make us out to be,” said Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. .@DNIGabbard: “The American people are not as stupid as these Democrats are trying to make us out to be.”The Director of National Intelligence slams Democrats for “insulting the intelligence” of Americans by calling riots erupting in Los Angeles “peaceful protests.” pic.twitter.com/KJBf9zzX5N— Fox News (@FoxNews) June 12, 2025 Originally published by The Washington Stand We publish a variety of perspectives.

Remembering Bunker Hill: 250 Years Later

Remembering Bunker Hill: 250 Years Later

Today—the 17th of June 2025—marks the 250th anniversary of the Battle of Bunker Hill. The battle started when Colonel William Prescott led 1,200 men onto the Charlestown peninsula in Massachusetts to erect defenses on Bunker Hill in defense against British plans to capture undefended high ground at Dorchester Heights and Charlestown. The British hoped that by capturing Bunker Hill, they would be able to gain a better location to fire at Americans who were sieging Charlestown. Prescott beat the British to their plans, though. He ended up building the defenses on Breed’s Hill instead, as it was lower and closer to the harbor. The fortifications were built on the 16th of June, 1775. After a day of laboring, the Americans were tired and had limited ammunition. The British—learning of the American fortifications—began bombarding Prescott’s untrained militia as they worked the next morning. At three o’clock in the afternoon, over 2,000 British soldiers commanded by General William Howe landed on the Charlestown shore and began their march toward Bunker Hill. During two unsuccessful marches under “heavy and severe fire”, the British troops suffered severe casualties. They were able to recover, though, and by the end of the day, the British received 400 new troops from Boston. With these reinforcements, Howe ordered his soldiers to march for a third time. The Americans—who had started the siege with limited ammunition—were simply outgunned as the day passed. The British forced the Americans to abandon their fort on Breed’s Hill, and thus they regained control of the Charleston peninsula. June 17, 1776—while technically a loss for the Americans—marked a major turning point in the Revolutionary War. Although 140 colonists died and 271 were wounded, the British suffered far more casualties: 226 British died and 828 were wounded. Prescott believed that he could have maintained the hill—even with the disadvantage in men—had he only been supplied with sufficient ammunition. This lack of ammunition led to the indelible line traditionally attributed to Prescott at the beginning of the battle: “Don’t fire until you see the whites of their eyes!” While there’s no way of verifying this quote, it nevertheless lives on in the American ethos. Prescott would end up being memorialized as an immortal figure, and he is one of the many figures portrayed in John Trumbull’s famous painting “Surrender of General Burgoyne,” which hangs in the Capitol rotunda. Members of the media stand in front of John Turnbull’s famous painting “Surrender of General Burgoyne” in the U.S. Capitol before a memorial service honoring Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga., July 27, 2020. (Shawn Thew-Pool via Getty Images) Joseph Warren—who was a physician before being commissioned as a Major General—is also portrayed in a Trumbull painting: the famous “The Death of General Warren at Bunker Hill.” Warren chose to participate in the battle as a private despite his rank, and he was one of the last to abandon the fort on Breed’s Hill, dying courageously in retreat. Spectating the battle from their house in Charlestown were Abigail Adams and a young John Quincy Adams. The future first lady wrote of Warren’s death: “tis a lamentable Truth, and the tears of multitudes pay tribute to his memory.” Warren, while not one of the first patriot names that comes to one’s mind, lives on in the American ethos through his immortalization in Trumbull’s dramatic painting—which is clearly inspired by the Pieta subject in Christian art; and one can imagine the impact Warren’s courageous death might have played on young John Quincy. In many ways, this American loss marked the first crucial turning point in the Revolutionary War. It was just two days before the battle, on the 15th of June 1775, that George Washington was appointed as commander in chief of the Continental Army. At this point, American victory would have required a miracle, as the colonial troops were severely underexperienced in comparison to the British—evident by the appointment of Warren, a physician with no military experience, as a general. The heavy casualties inflicted on the British boosted American morale and helped galvanize support across the colonies for a more organized war effort. While it would remain an uphill battle to declaring independence in 1776 and eventually defeating the British in 1783, the Battle of Bunker Hill marked a key symbolic turning point toward American independence; and why figures like Prescott and Warren are heroes in the American mind.

US Northern Command Shifts Focus to Greenland as Hegseth Confirms Invasion Contingency Plans

The issue of Greenland has not gone away. In fact, things seem to be heating up on several fronts regarding the Trump Administration’s desire to gain control of the largest island in the world. To begin with, President Trump has consistently called for the United States to somehow absorb or unite with Greenland — after the Danes allow their territory to invoke it’s right of self-determination, of course: Here is the full text of the President’s post from March — just one of many times he’s expressed the desire and need to take Greenland under American control: As I made clear during my Joint Address to Congress, the United States strongly supports the people of Greenland’s right to determine their own future. We will continue to KEEP YOU SAFE, as we have since World War II. We are ready to INVEST BILLIONS OF DOLLARS to create new jobs and MAKE YOU RICH — And, if you so choose, we welcome you to be a part of the Greatest Nation anywhere in the World, the United States of America! On one hand, it is well known that the Pentagon maintains contingencies upon contingencies. But Secretary of Defense Hegseth answered questions about contingencies to take Greenland by force in a way that almost seemed as though he WANTED to project the intent that the US is seriously considering doing so! And a potential invasion to take the island certainly aligns with President Trump’s insistence that Greenland is critical for the national security of the United States, according to the New York Post: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth appeared to acknowledge that the Pentagon has developed plans to take over Greenland and Panama by force if necessary but refused to answer repeated questions at a hotly combative congressional hearing Thursday about his use of Signal chats to discuss military operations. “Our job at the Defense Department is to have plans for any contingency,” Hegseth said several times. It is not unusual for the Pentagon to draw up contingency plans for conflicts that have not arisen, but his handling of the questions prompted a Republican lawmaker to step in a few minutes later. “It is not your testimony today that there are plans at the Pentagon for taking by force or invading Greenland, correct?” said Rep. Mike Turner, R-Ohio. As Hegseth started to repeat his answer about contingency plans, Turner added emphatically, “I sure as hell hope that is not your testimony.” “We look forward to working with Greenland to ensure that it is secured from any potential threats,” Hegseth responded. President Donald Trump has said multiple times that he wants to take control of the strategic, mineral-rich island nation of Greenland, long a U.S. ally. Those remarks have been met with flat rejections from Greenland’s leaders. Check out this clip of the exchange referenced in that article during Hegseth’s recent testimony before Congress: GOP Rep. Mike Turner pressed Defense Sec. Pete Hegseth to make clear that there were no plans to invade Greenland: “Because I sure as hell hope that is not your testimony.” Hegseth: “We look forward to working with Greenland to ensure that it is secured.” https://t.co/Df2R4zlpFg pic.twitter.com/mN3rT2XBii — ABC News (@ABC) June 12, 2025 And just as Hegseth’s answers seemed purposefully intended to project a future reality of American ownership of Greenland… A recent move by President Trump, re-organizing Greenland under the auspices of U.S. Northern Command, seems similarly symbolic by design: Update: President Trump places Greenland under US Northern Command jurisdiction, in preparation for US takeover of the Denmark colony!! This means Greenland falls under the command of the General in charge of America’s Defenses! pic.twitter.com/FoIxdoB4eT — US Homeland Security News (@defense_civil25) June 5, 2025 That shift in responsibility over the strategic island essentially means it’s defense is considered akin to the defense of the American homeland, as opposed to simply defending our European allies, in the event of a threat. It also denotes that the intention to acquire Greenland remains central in President Trump’s mind, as reported by CBS News: The Trump administration is planning to move Greenland from the purview of U.S. European Command to U.S. Northern Command, several U.S. officials told CBS News. Moving Greenland to Northern Command, which is in charge of defending the homeland, is a symbolic statement suggesting a view of Greenland as more a part of the defense of the U.S. than of Europe. In the eyes of the U.S., the move treats Greenland more like Canada and less like a part of the Kingdom of Denmark. Politico first reported the planned move, and CNN first reported the administration was considering the change. Top Trump officials, including Vice President JD Vance, have pressed Greenland to break from Denmark and come under the security umbrella of the United States, sources said. Vance visited the Pituffik Space Base in March and blasted Denmark’s management of Greenland, accusing it of underinvesting in Greenland’s people and security architecture. The space base is equipped with a warning system to detect incoming missiles, and the Pentagon sees Greenland as critical to national security. President Trump hasn’t given up on the idea of acquiring Greenland, which he and other top officials see as key to U.S. national security. When Vance visited in March, Mr. Trump said, “We have to have Greenland.” Last, but not least… President Trump has even directed America’s spies to increase their covert scrutiny of the political leanings of Greenland’s population. We only know about those classified instructions because the Wall Street Journal reported on them, after leakers within the intel community attempted to sabotage the operation by exposing it. Trish Regan commented on that scandal when it broke, highlighting the conspiratorial nature of the Deep State intel agencies: Let’s get this straight… Our Intel community is told to step up its information gathering on Greenland. Instead of stepping up intel… They LEAK their new orders to the WSJ… and WSJ publishes the news as an “exclusive”!!! Not much of an intel community… pic.twitter.com/A6VT4KygZP — Trish Regan (@trish_regan) May 7, 2025 Nevertheless, the fact that President Trump actually redirected intelligence assets to dig in to the political realities of Greenland’s residents means he’s SERIOUS. And those who leaked the classified info had Tulsi Gabbard on their trail, according to this report from the New York Post: America’s intelligence leaders were directed last week to focus on learning more about Greenland’s independence movement and attitudes toward a greater US presence to support President Trump’s bid to convince residents of the world’s largest island to join the United States. The classified “collection emphasis” instructions, first reported by the Wall Street Journal, ordered agency chiefs to use spies and electronic tools to identify Greenlandic and Danish supporters of Trump’s goals, and to learn more about Greenland’s secession movement and attitudes toward US resource extraction. Since Trump’s first term, his advisers have considered it likely that the island’s roughly 57,000 residents, most of whom are Inuit, would vote for independence and then choose to enter into a compact of free association with the US, in which Washington would provide defense and other benefits. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard implicitly confirmed the WSJ report in a statement Wednesday — and vowed to catch the leakers responsible. Trump argues that Greenland is necessary for US and global security — citing the fact that it abuts important North Atlantic shipping lanes and is home to an American military installation that tracks potential Russian missile launches, and noting its bounty of rare earth elements. While the acquisition of Greenland sounded strange the first time I caught wind of President Trump’s goal, I now ‘get it’. Not only does it control the over watch of strategic shipping lanes (and the northern approach to the contiguous lower 48)… And not only does it provide signal and radar capabilities in the event that Russia were to launch some type of assault over the pole towards America… But it also has a wealth of those oh-so-important rare earth minerals that everyone is talking about. Nothing on the technological advanced horizon happens… without those rare earth minerals. Yes, it sounded strange to my ears the first time I heard President Trump casually talking about annexing Greenland. But all these recent moves by the Trump Administration tells me they’re not only serious when it comes to taking control of the island. They probably mean to get that taken care of sooner, rather than later.

FBI Warns Millions of iPhone & Android Users to Delete Dangerous Text Immediately

The FBI is sounding the alarm about a dangerous new development in the ever-changing world of digital scams. And this one allegedly shows up as an official looking text message. There has been an enormous uptick in text-based scams recently, with one cyber security company pointing to a triple-digit percentage increase in a single week: Did you get a text from your state’s DMV saying you owe a fee or violated traffic laws? You’re not alone. We’ve spotted a 773% surge in DMV scam texts – and they’re getting way more dangerous pic.twitter.com/5WkDOsc1m4 — Guardio (@GuardioSecurity) June 11, 2025 The specific scam being warned about is an upgrade on the more common version that pretends to alert the user to unpaid toll fines. The newer version mimics an official alert from the state Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), according to the New York Post: The FBI is warning millions of Americans to be wary of an innocuous-seeming text message that’s making the rounds — and to delete it immediately if they get it. Here’s how the scammers trap unsuspecting iPhone users in their web — by posing as the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) of different states. The messages look like they could be legit, telling people that if they don’t pay an unpaid toll or fine, they might be subjected to having their driving privileges revoked or possible jail time. The text includes a link and instructs people to reply to the message then open the link. But officials warn that all of this is just someone trying to steal your personal data — and urged users not to click the link and rather immediately delete the text. New York State DMV Commissioner Mark J. F. Schroeder added, “These scammers flood phones with texts, hoping to trick unsuspecting people into handing over their personal information. DMV will never send texts asking for sensitive details.” The new scam has already shown up in multiple states. Florida’s Department of Transportation is just one of the many state DMV’s dealing with the new scam, and trying to alert people to the danger. The local CBS News affiliate out of Orlando warned Floridians about the new scam in this report: The Las Vegas area has also been hit hard by the new DMV text-based scam. Their department shared a description of the new scam, explaining a few details including how to identify which texts are dangerous, and what to do if you receive one of the fake texts: SCAM ALERT We’ve been made aware of text messages like the one pictured here, falsely claiming to be from the Nevada DMV and threatening license suspensions and fines. This is a scam — and here’s how you can tell: It references a suspicious URL (ending in .vip, which… pic.twitter.com/IakCnST2d0 — LVMPD (@LVMPD) June 9, 2025 Here’s the full text of that informative post: SCAM ALERT We’ve been made aware of text messages like the one pictured here, falsely claiming to be from the Nevada DMV and threatening license suspensions and fines. This is a scam — and here’s how you can tell: It references a suspicious URL (ending in .vip, which is not used by the Nevada DMV). +63 is the country code for the Philippines It uses scare tactics — like threats to suspend your license or affect your credit score. It mentions fake laws and codes (e.g., “Nevada State Administrative Code 15C-16.003” does not exist). Poor grammar and formatting are additional red flags. Do NOT click on suspicious links. Never provide personal or payment info through unknown text messages. Always verify by visiting the official website (https://dmv.nv.gov) or calling the Nevada DMV directly. If you received a message like this, do not respond. Report it to your mobile carrier and mark it as junk. Stay vigilant, Las Vegas. Scammers are always looking for new ways to trick you — but we’re here to help stop them. As noted by the FBI, this scam allegedly originates directly from Chinese cyber gangs. That means the groups sending these texts to American phones essentially operate with complete impunity, free of any ramification from the U.S. legal system, as explained in this article from Forbes: Attacks on iPhone and Android users surged more than 700% this month, with malicious texts targeting multiple cities and states. Following alerts from police forces across the country, the FBI has now confirmed the latest warning and stepped in. This threat comes directly from China, and you need to delete all these texts immediately. Attackers have learnt lessons from their unpaid toll texts, and this attack will be more dangerous. Now the FBI has confirmed it is investigating the DMV scam. According to FBI Tennessee’s Supervisory Special Agent David Palmer, the unpaid toll cybercriminals have “pivoted to the DMV scam.” Confirming the gangs operate from overseas, Palmer warns these texts can “put malware on your phone, which then can go in and steal information from your device, or collect your payment information.” There will be millions of these texts sent out over the coming weeks and months. As Resecurity warns, “just one threat actor can send “up to 2,000,000 smishing messages daily,” which means targeting “up to 60,000,000 victims per month, or 720,000,000 per year, enough to target every person in the U.S. at least twice every year.” “The Chinese cybercriminal syndicates involved in smishing,” Resecurity warns, “are brazen because they feel untouchable. They have emphasized in their communications that they do not care about U.S. law enforcement agencies. Residing in China, they enjoy complete freedom of action and engage in many illegal activities.” Just as with undelivered packages and unpaid tolls, the FBI’s advice is to “delete any smishing texts received.” You don’t want the dangerous links left on your phone, even though many are only active for a few hours before they’re detected and blocked. (Emphasis added.) With all that is going on in the world, the last thing any of us need is to worry about our private identity and financial information falling into the wrong hands. Most of the time, simply avoiding clicking on any unknown links in emails or text can protect you from phishing scams. But these new ‘smishing’ text-based scams may exposure your information to criminals just by their presence in your text app. That’s a scary thought for those of us who purposefully try to AVOID checking our phones every five minutes! If you’re like me, you might want to rethink that otherwise good habit, and watch your incoming text messages a little more closely over the next few weeks… just in case.
