On Sunday, PJ Media posted an article about the way the Trump administration is handling the riots in Los Angeles versus the way the Biden administration handled the ‘summer of love’ in 2020. To refresh your memory, Kamala Harris suggested that Americans send bail money to the rioters who were arrested. I suspect that President Trump will leave them in jail for a while.
Please follow the link to read the entire article. It is a good reminder of where we were and where we are.
The article reminds us:
Minneapolis, Portland, and Seattle all fell victim not just to angry mobs but to their own governors and mayors, too cowardly to stop them.
That year, Democrats cowered behind phrases like “mostly peaceful” as flames reached the heavens and lives were lost in the rubble.
President Joe Biden, then hiding in his campaign basement, barely managed a weak whisper.
He didn’t offer calm.
He offered evasion.
Before she was selected for vice president, then-senator Kamala Harris offered to pay bail.
Now, in 2025, we sit on the edge of another long, hot summer. And already, the streets of Los Angeles have begun to rumble.
The article concludes with the following observations:
Not Another Summer of Ash
The warning signs are here, with L.A. being the match point.
But the message has already been sent: if you riot, you will be stopped.
If you punch a cop, you will be arrested.
If you loot, you will be caught.
If you burn, you will answer for it.
And that may be enough.
Because what the left misunderstood in 2020, and still doesn’t get in 2025, is that most Americans don’t want a revolution.
They want predictability.
They want their kids safe.
They want their streets clean.
They want to walk into a Walgreens without stepping over a junkie or dodging a flash mob.
Trump didn’t create this yearning. He simply heard it.
And now, he’s answering it.
Biden’s DOJ tried to block state border defenses. President Trump stepped in and restored order.
President Trump didn’t start the fire, but he will put it out!
