I’ve written about it here repeatedly: The Left isn’t following the Bolshevik playbook for taking power, but the Nazi one. It’s called Anarcho-Tyranny, and means simply, “Anarchy for me, tyranny for thee.”
At the highest level, this involves letting people like former FBI Director James Comey skate on charges of perjury they committed to trigger fake presidential impeachments while imprisoning men like Peter Navarro and Steve Bannon for rejecting witch-hunt subpoenas from partisan cabals like the January 6 committee.
On the streets, it means letting violent mobs of Antifa thugs funded by leftist nonprofits terrorize ICE agents and besiege federal buildings, while honest election official Tina Peters is being held in a prison cell for doing her job in 2020.
If you can hijack the law itself to serve the revolution even before you’ve taken power, your path to control is simple. That’s why the Nazis were so eager to gain control of the police force, which they duly merged with the SS. What you need for such a plan to work is cowardice on the part of the men charged with keeping order — cowardice of the kind the establishment GOP might as well have trademarked.
It has been more than a week since President Donald Trump declared Antifa a “major terrorist organization.” But where are the arrests? Whoever inside the administration is staying the president’s hand might as well be working directly for George Soros.
You can’t get away with fomenting this kind of chaos without support from sympathetic elites — today’s equivalent of the pro-Nazi judges who’d set violent Brownshirts free after political street riots but imprison the socialists or Catholics the Nazis had assaulted for daring to defend themselves.
Rhetoric Has Consequences
Now we have Democrat politicians calling ICE agents “the Gestapo,” and equating their use of masks (to protect their families from harassment) with the crimes of the Ku Klux Klan. Catholic bishops are comparing ICE officers (I wish I were making this up) to Nazi war criminals and slavecatchers — who presumably deserve to be resisted by violent force. What happens when putative authorities issue such blank checks for illegal violence? Here are just a few of the most recent atrocities:
Fox News reportsed on an incident that took place in Dallas five days ago:
The 29-year-old man who opened fire on a Dallas ICE facility left behind handwritten notes at his home in Oklahoma that shared a motive for his attack – to terrorize ICE employees. …
Jahn allegedly left handwritten notes behind that read in part, “Hopefully this will give ICE agents real terror, to think, ‘Is there a sniper with AP rounds on that roof?’”
“To include Jahn’s own words in his handwritten notes, Jahn specifically intended to kill ICE agents. He fired at transport vehicles carrying ICE personnel, federal agents, and detainees. He also fired multiple shots into the windows of the office building, where numerous ICE employees do their jobs every day,” Rothrock said during a news conference.
Both FBI officials said it’s clear Jahn engaged in a high degree of pre-attack planning.
“He searched for information about the office building and how to track ICE agents’ locations. Jahn also acknowledged the potential for other casualties. He knew with a high likelihood ICE detainees would be transported that morning in the exact location where he was facing from his perch on a nearby rooftop. Jahn’s attack did, in fact, result in the tragic death of one detainee and the injury to two other detainees,” Rothrock said.
The U.S. Department of Justice reports on another case:
A federal grand jury has returned a two-count indictment charging three women – two from Southern California and one from Colorado – with following a United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent home, livestreaming their pursuit, and then posting the victim’s home address on Instagram, the Justice Department announced today….
According to the indictment, on August 28, 2025, the defendants followed the victim – an ICE agent – from the Civic Center in downtown Los Angeles to his personal residence. The defendants livestreamed on their Instagram accounts their pursuit of the victim and provided directions as they followed the victim home, encouraging their viewers to share the livestream. Their Instagram accounts used to livestream the event were “ice_out_of_la,” “defendmesoamericanculture,” and “corn_maiden_design.”
Upon arriving at the victim’s personal residence, the defendants shouted to bystanders while livestreaming on Instagram that their “neighbor is ICE,” “la migra lives here,” and “ICE lives on your street and you should know.”
The defendants publicly disclosed on Instagram the victim’s home address and told viewers, “Come on down.”
Again, from the DOJ:
A Santa Monica man has been arrested on a federal criminal complaint charging him with doxxing – publishing private or identifying information about an individual on the internet with malicious intent – of a lawyer at United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the Justice Department announced today.
Gregory John Curcio, 68, is charged with violating a federal law designed for the protection of individuals performing certain official duties.
Curcio, who was arrested Monday, made his initial appearance today in United States District Court in Los Angeles. A federal magistrate judge ordered Curcio jailed without bond and scheduled his arraignment for October 14.
“Contrary to what some misguided individuals think, doxxing federal agents and employees is not a harmless crime,” said Acting United States Attorney Bill Essayli. “It endangers the agent’s personal safety and that of their family. It’s also a federal crime. If convicted, this defendant will face up to five years in a federal prison cell.”
It’s time for President Trump to declare a national state of emergency, invoke the Insurrection Act, federalize any National Guard that won’t cooperate, and start mass arrests of anyone who interferes with border enforcement, then charge them with terrorism.
NYC Taxpayers Will Pay for Their Replacements
The Marxist Muslim demagogue born with a Hollywood silver spoon in his mouth, New York City’s likely next mayor Zohran Mamdani, is pledging to use government money to obstruct law enforcement. The New York Post reports:
Taxpayers will pick up an additional $100 million tab for illegal migrants facing deportation, Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani pledges, calling it a “cornerstone” of his campaign.
“Four hundred thousand of our residents are right now in urgent risk of deportation,” the socialist lamented on MSNBC “The Weekend,” adding fewer than 200 of them received access to free lawyers last year.
The city’s 2026 budget, passed in June, already includes $54.5 million to fight deportation orders in court on the taxpayer’s dime – “more than any other major city in America,” Mayor Eric Adams has said. …
Since it began in 2022, NYC has spent an estimated $12 billion on the asylum seeker crisis, which besides legal help includes shelter, food and other services.
“New York is in a fiscal crisis, and Mamdani wants to rip another $100 million from taxpayers to bankroll deportation defense, rewarding lawbreaking while seniors, classrooms, sanitation, and public safety go without. It spits in the face of every immigrant who played by the rules, and I will fight this giveaway with everything I’ve got,” ripped Council Member Robert Holden (D-Queens).
Meanwhile, Adams dropped out of the mayoral race yesterday.
Another Mass Shooting at a Church
Whatever we think of Mormon theology, our hearts can’t help but break over another violent attack on our fellow Americans as they sought to enjoy their constitutionally protected right to the free exercise of religion. Gateway Pundit reports that yesterday
chaos erupted at a Mormon church in Grand Blanc, Michigan, when a gunman reportedly opened fire during services.
The attack took place at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on McCandlish Road, leaving multiple victims, though the exact toll has not yet been confirmed. In a further blow, the church caught fire during the incident, triggering a massive four-alarm emergency response.
Authorities are investigating the tragedy and have not said whether the shooter has been shot or is dead or alive. Reports are coming out saying that the gunman is “down.”

Pray for everyone affected and that peace will come back to our country — the true peace of ordered liberty, not the haunted hellscape of a populace cowed by Anarcho-Tyranny.
