“Ultimately, our nation, like all nations, has the right and obligation to control its borders and set laws for residency and citizenship. And no matter how decent they are, no matter their reasons, the 11 million who broke these laws should be held accountable.” – President Barack Obama.
Double Standards?
Joe Rogan made a point on his podcast about the riots in Minnesota that is good to keep in mind. Anyone who believes the riots are organic is foolish. As Rogan stated on his podcast, the timing is quite interesting. As the mind-boggling fraud started to get traction, the narrative changed due to the rioting in Minneapolis. All anybody hears now is the hatred being spewed from white liberal women and men toward law enforcement officers, calling them fascists and Nazis, comparing them to the Gestapo.
Rogan said chaos always precedes revolution, and that is all too true. Protesting does not mean blocking law enforcement officers with automobiles, bodies or anything else. Anyone who just walked into the country and crossed the border without proper screening committed a crime, as President Obama stated himself. Obama deported them, and there were no riots. There was barely any complaint at all, and some joked that Obama was the “Deporter in Chief.” White liberal women and men did not band together with signs and screaming voices to protest Obama’s deportations, nor his insistence that the law be followed. The ICE agents are being dehumanized, demeaned, and demonized by people who are either paid to disrupt or are just plain nuts. Carrying guns to riots is a good way to get yourself killed. And is it any wonder ICE agents are on edge? These demonstrators are hurling frozen bottles of water; men like Alex Pretti, evidently spitting on ICE vehicles and kicking and smashing out the taillights of ICE vehicles, which, by the way, are taxpayer-owned property. The very same people who cried for blood from any Republican who was in the vicinity of Capitol Hill on January 6 suddenly think it’s just hunky dory to try to inflict actual physical injuries on ICE officers. And to this day, they still spread the lie that Capitol Hill officers were killed by “insurrectionists.” Here is the literal definition of the word: “insurrection” from Webster’s dictionary: “an act of revolting against civil authority or an established government.” By that standard, the rioters in Minnesota are not protesters but instead are insurrectionists. If they are NOT insurrectionists, neither were those Southerners who refused to be bound by federal law, proclaimed states’ rights, and when they were unable to nullify the laws they did not like, including outlawing slavery, they revolted and seceded from the union.
The same imbeciles who complain and squeal that ICE agents wear masks are the same people who doxed them, and as Joe Rogan pointed out on his program, it is a coordinated effort.
These are the same people who would not even utter the names of any woman or victim who had been killed by an illegal alien. That’s how much neighbors and community mean to these people who jump on Instagram and social media and cry about “neighbors” and “community.” When did you ever see a Hollywood celebrity shedding the first tear for Laken Riley? Did you see any rich movie star weep for Rachel Morin, a mother of five who was brutally raped and murdered by an illegal alien? Have you seen any celebrity or any of those hags on “The View” shed a tear for 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray, who was kidnapped, raped and murdered by two illegal aliens? Have you ever seen any celebrity even express the slightest remorse for these actual victims? Did any celebrity go on social media to cry over Ruby Garcia, who was murdered by an illegal alien who had previously been deported and walked across the border once again?
They didn’t spare a single, solitary tear for the black, brown or white victims of illegal alien criminals. Keep that in mind the next time you watch one of them have a pretend breakdown on television or see Jimmy Kimmel start to squall and talk about our neighbors. Cry me a river.
There doesn’t seem to be an ounce of authenticity in these people. They want you to feel sorry for Rene Good and Alex Pretti, both of whom would still be alive today had they stayed home or even stood on the sidelines and not tried to interfere in the arrest of the kinds of illegal alien criminals who killed some of the victims named in this editorial. Those victims who no celebrity or Leftist has cried for were in their own communities and neighborhoods and should have been safe. Most of the people, even congressmen and congresswomen, who want to defund the police or whine about allowing anyone or anything to cross our borders illegally have the luxury of having their own personal security. There was Katy Perry, now the girlfriend of Justin Trudeau, walking around Davos with a security guard. They have private security, so it doesn’t matter to them whether there is a police department or any kind of law enforcement. Anyone who believes ICE should be defunded or the police should be defunded shouldn’t be able to dial 911 on their phones.
Congratulations, Judge Hixon
Congratulations to Judge Kyle Hixson on being named as an associate justice of the Tennessee State Supreme Court. Kyle Hixson has had a meteoric rise in his career, going from a prosecutor in the office of District Attorney General Charme Allen to being elected to the bench as a judge of the Knox County Criminal Court. Governor Bill Lee then appointed Hixson as a member of the Tennessee Court of Criminal Appeals, and his nomination was confirmed by the Tennessee legislature. Now, Hixson has been appointed to a vacancy on the state supreme court by Governor Lee.
Governor Lee has made some truly exceptional appointments to courts and judgeships, especially in Knox County and East Tennessee. The Knoxville Focus commends Governor Lee for having appointed Kyle Hixson to the Tennessee State Supreme Court. The Focus also sends its warmest congratulations to Justice Hixson. It would surprise no one who knows him, should he be a contender for an appointment to the highest court in the land.
Congratulations, Rachel Hurt
Congratulations are also in order for Rachel Hurt, formerly of the Arnett, Baker, Draper and Hagood law firm. Ms. Hurt had been appointed to the Tennessee State Court of Appeals to fill the vacancy caused by Judge Michael Swiney’s retirement. Ms. Hurt is an outstanding attorney, and The Focus wishes her a happy and productive tenure as a member of the Tennessee Court of Appeals.
