What should President Trump do?
The communists in Portland continued to march through the downtown, throwing smoke grenades and fireworks to cover their advance. They brought a lot more leftists with them, even some more ‘moms,’ who are largely the antifa women.
WHAT THE WSJ SAYS TRUMP SHOULD DO
The Wall Street Journal has a piece out today by The Editorial Board titled, The Mess in Portland.
The op-ed begins: Anarchists and rioters have wreaked havoc on Portland, Ore., for nearly two months. Democrats have excused and emboldened them, and they’re now claiming the real problem is that federal law enforcement has intervened to restore order. Maybe the feds should leave and let the city put out its own fires.
In the article, the Board explained that the Democrats are now blaming the federal agents for the nearly two months of violence, looting, property damage, and arson.
The Editorial Board concluded: We understand Mr. Trump’s desire to restore order, but he’s also saving Democrats from themselves. State and local Democrats will blame federal intervention for any and all disorder, deflecting attention from their own failures. The media will echo whatever they say. Progressives run Portland, Chicago, New York, and other cities now experiencing a surge of violence. If they want to indulge the mayhem, then let them live with the consequences.
Joe Biden is with the protesters 100%. He said yesterday, “We have a President who is determined to sow chaos and division. To make matters worse than better.” He had no unkind words for the rioters.
Unfortunately, if the law and order president doesn’t react, how can he appeal on those grounds? For now, the agents are protecting federal buildings and that does seem appropriate. They are using unmarked cars to get the lay of the land without being attacked but they are all identified. If you heard differently, you heard wrong.
President Trump wants to send 150 agents into Chicago to help, perhaps as advisers, local police. The union begged them to come and now the union president is being trashed. Fourteen or seventeen people were shot at a funeral in Chicago last night alone, 70 were shot over the weekend and 10 died. Do we let them die because that is what the people voted for when they picked these hard-left politicians?
These people rioting in Portland are not protesters nor are they exercising their 1st Amendment rights. They are communist insurrections as they themselves have made clear.
Can President Trump win either way, by going in or not? He doesn’t have the media. They are very corrupt, an arm of the far-left Democrats. Democrats support anarcho-communists. And too many Republicans won’t say anything.
Please let us know what you think.

OFFICERS ARE IDENTIFIED
They are still claiming the officers are unidentified, but that is not true. It’s another lie that even the right thinks is true.
.@CBPMarkMorgan shuts down antifa lie that DHS officers are “unidentified.” Every officer is identified clearly on the front, back & sides. They no longer display a name because of doxing that endangers their families. Instead, they wear an ID patch. https://t.co/OEk9nfCOHj pic.twitter.com/gVu3gBJclU

ANTIFA MOMS, NOT MOMS
Many of the ‘moms’ are the same antifa who have ‘demonstrated.’ That’s another lie.
I recognize a lot of the so-called “moms” as the same antifa women who dressed in black as recent as a couple days ago. They just put on a yellow shirt now for optics. Most of these people aren’t mothers & many don’t even identify as female. #PortlandRiots pic.twitter.com/UPffcao0fv

NOT PEACEFUL PROTESTERS RILED UP BY THE FEDS
They’re not peaceful protesters. Another lie.

THEY SEE IT AS WAR AGAINST THE USA, THEY’RE TRAITORS
“Peaceful protesters at war with the United States, literally.

How is today any different than the days of George Wallace. Instead of in the south, it is Now in the north. “In the name of the greatest people of the revolution, Antifa draws a line in the dust, and toss a gauntlet before the feet of Trump tyranny, and I say Anarchy Now, Anarchy tomorrow, and Anarchy forever”.

Which is it. Is Juan Williams a complete idiot or just plain Stupid. His idiotic diatribe about the situation in Portland is about as ridiculous as it gets. A Lot of the problem IS with Fox. They show those Antifa “moms” who are dressed for the media and Then show the tear gassing. Once They leave all hell breaks loose… Read more »
“…Antifa was IN Syria for training …”
I’d bet there is a lot more to that story!
Protect the Federal buildings. Leave the rest of Portland to commie anarchists. Pols will wake up when the thugs come for their houses or businesses.
It’s just a matter of time, cause you can’t please the mob. Just ask Olympia, WA, Mayor Cheryl Selby. She did the whole kneeling with BLM thing and they vandalized her home any way.
I agree. And the terrorist’s sentence should be longer than 10 years.
Ex: Chicago: The National Security Agency has a budget in the BILLIONS of dollars (one billion is a thousand millions) That budget has been used to develop, purchase and use the most sophisticated eavesdropping/surveillance equipment available. Why is the NSA not using their technology to identify Chicago perpetrators of murder ? Here is what I BELIEVE not “think”: Use NSA… Read more »
I’ll assume the WSJ didn’t cover this. HOW is the administration suppose to “back off” essentially. The rioters, and local politicians, told the Federal police to “stay” in their building. They DID. It has only been when fires were set, including Napalm, that they came out. Last night it escalated to the point of removing the plywood and starting more… Read more »
Posse Comitatus get a hold of the sheriff in all the counties involved, pressure the sheriffs to deputies and lead a posse in to the the war torn areas.
