Democrats Panic As Trump Kills Narco Terrorists And Stops Violent Crime

You have to imagine there are more than a few panicked conversations going on this evening over at the headquarters of Tren de Aragua, the Venezuelan gang that routinely traffics drugs into this country and takes over apartment complexes in places like Colorado.

As you may have seen, seven months after the Trump administration designated Tren de Aragua as a foreign terrorist organization, the U.S. military just blew up one of the gang’s drug boats as it sped towards the United States. There was no warning. The Coast Guard didn’t try to take them into custody. Instead, the boat — and all 11 people onboard — were bombed and eliminated, presumably with the help of one of the warships that the White House has recently deployed to the southern Caribbean.

After decades of having open access to the United States, this development had to be quite a shock for Tren de Aragua, and every terrorist group that engages in drug trafficking. Until now, the absolute worst-case scenario is that they might get detained, very briefly, and maybe have to answer a question or two about why they’re heading towards the United States on a boat with four outboard motors and millions of dollars’ worth of narcotics. And then some NGO, armed with tax dollars commandeered by the Democrat Party, would jump into action and spring them loose, as Ivy League academics demanded that we respect the “civil liberties” of sociopathic foreign drug traffickers. 

But that’s not what happened this time. Instead, the NGOs and academics weren’t given any time to intercede on behalf of Tren de Aragua. Federal judges weren’t given that opportunity either. There’s simply no chance that a federal judge (with a name out of a “Star Wars” movie) can issue any kind of injunction at this point, ordering the Trump administration to form a dive team, and piece all of these dead bodies back together. It just won’t work. We just simply killed them all instead. 

And as you might expect, our moral superiors aren’t happy about any of this. Here’s how one Princeton professor and self-styled “human rights” advocate, a guy named Kenneth Roth, responded to the destruction of the drug boat:

Drug trafficking is a crime, not an act of war. Traffickers must be arrested, not summarily executed, which U.S. forces just illegally did.

There were dozens more posts like this, all of them complaining about the destruction of a boat full of drug traffickers.

The Trump administration didn’t respond to any of these people. Instead, one by one, the official accounts of various officials and departments in the administration — including Marco Rubio, Pete Hegseth, the Rapid Response team — posted the footage of the boat exploding, without apology. The White House also posted memes like this one:

TERRORISTS ELIMINATED. ADIÓS. ???? pic.twitter.com/92buoGEB4E

The caption reads, “TERRORISTS ELIMINATED. ADIÓS.” It’s not exactly a subtle message. But what makes it so effective is that, predictably, no one on the Left has any idea how to respond. 

Their default tactic — which is to stall, file frivolous lawsuits, and wage large-scale propaganda campaigns — simply doesn’t work anymore. So instead of accomplishing anything, they’re stammering on the internet about how it’s supposedly a terrible thing that drug boats are being destroyed. They’re aghast at the possibility that, for the first time in recent memory, the U.S. military is actually carrying out airstrikes for the benefit of the American people. And the American people overwhelmingly support it. As scandalous as this may be to left wing, anti-human academics, most Americans feel the way I do about it. And my take is very simple: kill the foreign drug traffickers who bring poison into our country. Kill them all. Mass slaughter of the drug cartels. Leave no one alive. That’s what I want to see. It’s what most Americans want to see. And it is in fact the moral and just course of action.

The White House recognizes the abject weakness that Democrats are displaying at the moment. That’s why, the other day, the president announced that the U.S. military would continue to take action to protect the homeland. The city of Chicago is up next. Watch:

There’s nothing unprecedented about using the National Guard to establish order when local authorities prove unable or unwilling to do so. Take the shooting at Kent State in 1970 during riots over the Vietnam War, for example. Four college students were killed and nine were wounded by the National Guard. In many schools today, this episode is taught as “the Kent State Massacre.”

Pretty much every university in the country claims that this shooting was a clear example of brutality by the U.S. military. But at the time, the public overwhelmingly supported the National Guard. People understood that these “students” had been rioting and threatening people with deadly weapons for days. They had burned down a building on campus. They were unruly, and a clear threat to public safety. They had cornered the National Guard troops, and were advancing on them. That’s what actually happened. 

In fact, as recently as two decades ago, Chicago’s leaders were openly talking about bringing in the National Guard on their own.

Here’s a report from the Associated Press in 2008:

[Illinois Governor] Blagojevich surprised [Mayor] Daley on July 16 by offering to send state police or even the National Guard to battle ‘out of control’ crime in Chicago.

So there’s nothing crazy or unprecedented about what the Trump administration is proposing now. Democrats realize that, presumably. So in response, rather than construct any kind of rational argument, they’re resorting to panicked nonsequiturs. Here’s one alderman in the city of Chicago for example:

Yes, his very first response, when asked about the extraordinary levels of crime and violence in his hometown, is to talk about the murder of two children in a Catholic church by a trans-identifying mass shooter — in another state. This is a trans-identifying mass shooter whose demonic ideology was “affirmed” at the highest levels of the Democrat Party. That’s the defense he’s offering. “Oh, you’re worried about the constant shootings in Chicago? Well, that’s absurd, because our party is also responsible for mass shootings in other states, too!”

If you noticed, CNN introduced this guy in the chyron as a “Chicago Alderman for Ward with Large Hispanic Population.” So apparently, we’re supposed to treat him as a credible talking head on this particular issue, even though he uses every single DNC buzzword imaginable. He calls homeless people “unhoused folks.” He says Trump is a “dictator.” He talks about “concentration camps.” And then he demands a “systemic investment,” meaning more tax money. You just know that guy goes around saying “LatinX,” on top of all this. It’s a complete trainwreck. But this is all they have.

Meanwhile, residents of Chicago are being terrorized by repeat offenders who obviously belong in prison. Watch:

Any sane person watching reports like this would realize that Chicago has a major problem. It’s not enforcing the law, or punishing criminals. So maybe they should start with that. Instead, Chicago’s mayor, Brandon Johnson, has decided to deflect blame, in probably the most pathetic and unconvincing way possible. Yesterday he announced that “red states” are responsible for gun crime in Chicago. Watch:

JUST IN: Chicago mayor Brandon Johnson says gun violence in Chicago is actually because of red states.

Johnson claimed that the gun violence in his city was Trump’s fault, as he talked about guns as if they were sentient beings.

Yes, “the shootings will continue,” says Brandon Johnson. He doesn’t seem to realize what he just said. He couldn’t have made it any more clear that he views the violence in Chicago as a core building block of his political power. He might as well have announced that “the shootings will continue until morale improves.” 

Think about the logic here: Yes, there are constant shootings in Chicago, Brandon Johnson concedes. But they’ll continue to take place, if Donald Trump gets involved. So, I guess we’re looking at, what, a wash? Is that the idea?

Johnson’s underlying argument is, of course, absurd and he’s changing his position here. Just a year ago, when he was asked why Chicago is so dangerous and dysfunctional, Johnson blamed Richard Nixon. Watch:

Over 100 people were shot in Chicago last weekend, including 18 fatally.

So we’ve gone from Richard Nixon being responsible for the fact that Chicago is falling apart, to the idea that “guns from red states” are responsible. That’s quite a switch-up. But let’s give Brandon Johnson the benefit of the doubt, and look into the numbers here.

First of all, if you pull up the data from the ATF’s website, here’s what you’ll find.

Credit: Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives.

This is from 2022. It shows where firearms that were recovered in Illinois were originally purchased, assuming that the ATF could make that determination. As you can see, Illinois is the top source, by far. Roughly 7,500 firearms that were recovered in the state of Illinois were originally purchased there. The next-highest states are Indiana and Missouri, which were responsible for 2,500 and 1,000 firearms, respectively. If you add up all of the other states in the top 15, you’ll find that, in more than 50% of cases, the firearm was originally purchased in Illinois.

This is not a surprising or significant finding in any way. And it certainly doesn’t implicate “red states,” so much as it implicates “blue cities.” Both Indiana and Missouri, as we all know, are home to many loyal Democrat Party voters. Some of those Democrat Party voters will move across state lines. And the problem isn’t the fact that these people are capable of traveling. It’s the fact that they’re committing violent crimes. There’s a reason why, if you look up the top 10 most violence cities in America, 9 out of the 10 are led by Democrats. That’s 90%. Trying to pin this on Republicans is a form of gaslighting that could only be done by the same people who tried to convince us that men can get pregnant. They are very accustomed to denying basic reality.

Also, here’s a question, Brandon. Let’s take just the guns that do come into Chicago from red states. Let’s even pretend that they’re coming from red areas of red states — meaning, the rural areas, not the cities. Well, Brandon, why do those guns only become a problem once they make it into Chicago? Why do they suddenly start killing people in Chicago, when they weren’t killing people in rural Indiana? Do the guns just take on a life of their own? Do they come to life like some rated R version of Toy Story? Or do the actual humans in Chicago decide to use those guns to commit violent crimes, which would mean the problem is with the people in your city, not the objects.

I have multiple guns. I’ve never murderer anyone in my life. Somehow even with my guns I have never experienced the temptation to spray bullets into a church. It turns out that if you aren’t a mentally ill freak, having a gun isn’t a problem at all. https://t.co/dhoz3SjsWy

This is a concept that leftists struggle with. But if you work with them, you can get them to understand it. In fact I just had this experience with Stephen King. After the mass shooting by the trans guy at the Catholic Church, I pointed out that trans identified people are mentally unwell, and doctors should be legally barred from “affirming” their confusion. Stephen King responded by posting this: “Trans is not the problem. He had a gun. That’s the problem.” I replied: “I have multiple guns. I’ve never murderer anyone in my life. Somehow even with my guns I have never experienced the temptation to spray bullets into a church. It turns out that if you aren’t a mentally ill freak, having a gun isn’t a problem at all.” And then Stephen King, in a moment of accidental mental clarity, said: “Yes, but you’re sane.” 

Well, yes, Stephen. That’s right. So you see that it’s not the gun, it’s the person. It seems we’ve had a breakthrough.

If only we could do the same with these Democrat politicians. But instead they all play the same game that Brandon Johnson plays. Gavin Newsom has been doing it. JB Pritzker has also joined in. Watch:

Again, there’s the conflation of “red states” with “blue cities inside red states.” What’s left unspoken here is that, in red states, there are cities, controlled by Democrats, where extraordinary levels of crime and violence take place. And many of these cities have majority-black populations, or close to it.

That’s the very inconvenient fact that you’re not supposed to talk about. But the truth is, you simply can’t explain this disparity in crime numbers without talking about demographics. Something like 80% of black children in Chicago are born to single mothers. If black women in the city stopped having kids before marriage, and if black men stopped abandoning their families, the crime problem would go away overnight. Just the slightest bit of self-control would fix all of this. But Brandon doesn’t mention that. I wonder why. Instead, he openly declared an insurrection against the United States government, saying that residents of Chicago should resist the National Guard. Watch:

It’s just layers of dishonesty, on top of more dishonesty. Chicago was not in any sense built by “slaves and indigenous people.” Eastern Europeans, along with Irish and German immigrants, are responsible for the development of Chicago as we know it today. It wasn’t slaves from Africa who built the Illinois and Michigan Canal, which is what transformed the city of Chicago into a major hub of transportation and commerce. Slavery was illegal in Illinois. It was immigrants, mostly Irishmen, who constructed it. Useless bureaucrats like Brandon Johnson had no role in it, whatsoever. And they shouldn’t suggest otherwise, or even talk about the development of the city of Chicago, until they learn some basic history about their own city.

But we all know why Brandon Johnson is lying like this. His goal is to dismantle the rule of law in Chicago. He’s been working on that goal for some time. 

Last year, he got rid of “ShotSpotter” technology, which allowed law enforcement to pinpoint the location of any shooting, within seconds. Watch:

When you hear politicians like Brandon Johnson claim that they have “solutions,” remember videos like that one. They’ve gone out of their way to make violent crime, much, much worse in Chicago.

It’s true that, in our federal system, states are not required to assist the federal government in carrying out certain policy objectives. But it’s also true that states and local governments cannot actively interfere with the federal government’s decision to enforce the law. That is not “state’s rights.” That is treason. Brandon Johnson is openly encouraging residents of Chicago to engage in treason against the United States. And for that reason, Brandon Johnson should be arrested, charged, convicted, and then given the requisite punishment for a capital offense. 

Will that ever happen? Probably not. But then again, just a few days ago, Tren de Aragua gang members never thought they’d be intercepted as they sped towards the United States on their drug boats. They certainly didn’t imagine they’d get blown up without any warning.

All indications are that we are entering a new phase of federal governance — one where the U.S. military acts to defend the American people, where false narratives from NGOs are ignored, and where criminals are actually punished when they violate the law in public. So maybe Brandon Johnson shouldn’t be so confident. Like Washington D.C. — which has experienced something like a 50% drop in violent crime since the National Guard moved in — Chicago is about to become a much safer place. The more JB Pritzker lies about crime statistics, and the more Brandon Johnson commits treason in public, the more obvious it becomes that this strategy needs to be applied to every major American city. Democrats have no response. They have no counterargument. The safer America becomes, the more they will complain. And in response, every American who’s paying attention will recognize their party for what it is. They are the party of chaos, crime, and cartels. And they should be treated accordingly.
