In this issue

LA is on fire this week, and the President has deployed the U.S. Marines to quell an “orchestrated attack” on law enforcement. We talk about that in this issue, along with more presidential actions, commentary from those watching him, and our own take on the news of the day.

The flames we see in Los Angeles are not random. This blazing chaos was lit when radical mobs attacked federal law enforcement—ICE legal officials—who were simply doing their jobs enforcing our laws. Those attacks were illegal. Plain and simple.

When brave ICE agents faced violent mobs, when federal buildings were threatened, when the Stars and Stripes burned and foreign flags waved in defiance—that wasn’t a protest.

That was an assault on our institutions.

But make no mistake: America does not cower.

President Trump answered the call. He federalized the California National Guard—the first time since 1965—and sent 4,000 guardsmen and 700 Marines into Los Angeles. They’re not there to intimidate—they’re there to protect: to defend our federal agents, our people, our country.

Let them make their noise in Sacramento, Boston, or New York. Let them call this illegal, unconstitutional—that’s what happens when leadership falters. But the federal government answered. We answered.

The Crossroads of Order and Chaos

We stand today at the crossroads of order and chaos. But I tell you this: America leans on order. Not because we fear flames, but because we choose to stand guard at our gates. Because we insist on protecting the rule of law.

Because we love this country more than any fleeting political moment.

There is reason for hope:

• The Marines stand ready, the Guard holds firm. Federal officials can carry out their duties in peace.

• While some protests have erupted in cities across America, most demonstrators remain peaceful. They stand for a cause—not burning, not looting, but making their voice heard.

• Oversight is in place. Courts, legal scholars, and constitutional checks will ensure the line is never crossed.

We remember, my friends, that America always rises in adversity. We remember that we are a people bound by duty—to our Founders, to our families, to one another.

So stand tall. Speak out. Support ICE officers. Support law enforcement. Support every man and woman in uniform who has sworn to defend this land.

We will not let Los Angeles burn in vain. We will not allow violence to take root. We will not forget that freedom requires courage.

This is our moment to defend our legacy. Our values. Our Republic.

Let freedom ring. Let justice stand. And let every American—wherever you live—know: we are united, we are vigilant, and we will prevail.”
