Alex Padilla Just Proved Himself Another Violence-Prone Democrat

After “sitting U.S. Senator” Alex Padilla barged into Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s press conference and got himself forcibly (and rightly) tossed out of the room and handcuffed, leftists across America (again!) want us to be aghast at the Trump administration. It almost seemed like the whole episode was planned! Knowing Democrats as we do, almost certainly it was a planned stunt, done solely for political theatrics.

Democrats across the U.S. are desperate to sway the electorate in their favor, so I’m not surprised by most anything they will pull at this point. They’re even calling out Barack Obama for supposedly not doing enough to counter the Trump administration.

However, all Senator Padilla’s stunt is likely to do is to further embolden and enrage the already unhinged elements that are so prominent in his party. I write this only hours after Senator Padilla’s antics, and I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if the Democrats’ lackeys that are so eager to engage in violence take Senator Padilla’s actions as a cue to take things up a notch.

This is especially true given the frothy-mouth responses of Senator Padilla’s colleagues in the U.S. House and Senate. “How dare they do such to a sitting U.S. Senator!”—or something to that effect—was a regular refrain by Democrats and their media allies. Elected Democrats are enraged, and they want you—or as many Americans as possible—enraged as well. How soon they forget what their faithful are capable of.

We are in the midst of rampant, violent anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles and other U.S. Cities, and on the doorstep of the “No Kings” protest movement, which has reportedly over 1800 planned events this weekend. Of course, all of this follows multiple assassination attempts against President Trump, years of anti-law enforcement rhetoric and actions, and widespread criminal activity across the U.S., all brought to you by the Democrat Party and its adherents.

In other words, many of us—especially those protecting elected Republicans—are now conditioned to expect violence from Democrats. Thus, no one should be surprised that Senator Padilla was treated as he was when he loudly charged into Secretary Noem’s press conference, and then refused to obey security officials. (Imagine that! A Democrat ignoring the words of law enforcement officers!)

Even CNN’s legal expert thought Padilla got what he deserved! Be warned, Democrats, your mask is off. You’re not going to get off so lightly with these antics anymore. You’ve shown us what you’re capable of, and those of us who love law and order are going to act accordingly.

Some of the Best, Most Interesting, Most Informative 𝕏 Posts on the Illegal Immigrant L.A. Riots

Democrats and their lackeys are again rioting, looting, attacking law enforcement, and setting a U.S. city on fire--literally and figuratively. Since 𝕏 is one of the best, if not the best, news sources available, I thought I would compile a few important posts for you on this matter. Below are some of the most telling 𝕏 posts on the 2025 version of the L.A. riots. 

It's "inflammatory" to enforce migration laws, say Democrats. But it's not. It's essential for protecting the vulnerable. The reason the Left opposes law enforcement is that they take pleasure at the destruction of civilization, at least so long as it only hurts other people. pic.twitter.com/tSffm8yjGX

The above post by Mr. Shellenberger is a lengthy, informative thread and well worth a read.

🚨 #BREAKING: Multiple businesses are now being LOOTED in Downtown Los Angeles, including the Jordan Flagship Store

So rioters are now stealing SHOES in the name of “social justice.”

We're constantly told about all of the wondrous benefits that hardworking Mexicans bring to our country. And yet Mexico, with all of its Mexicans, is a dysfunctional shithole that Mexicans desperately want to escape. Something isn't adding up here.

— Matt Walsh (@MattWalshBlog) June 8, 2025

Los Angeles is all the proof you need that mass migration unravels societies.

You can have all the other plans and budgets you want.

If you don’t fix migration, then nothing else can be fixed — or saved.

Los Angeles doesn’t feel like a protest. It feels like an entire city is declaring open rebellion to American authority and sovereignty. It was bound to come to a head in a corrupt blue city, but it must be firmly stopped and law and order reestablished. The American people voted…

Another DEI Hire Burns Biden

The one consistent thing I’ve heard about Karine Jean-Pierre since she announced that she’s leaving the Democrat Party and publishing a book—Independent: A Look Inside a Broken White House, Outside the Party Lines—about her time in the inept Biden Administration is that she was “the worst White House press secretary in history,” or something very close to it.

Yesterday, the Washington Free Beacon declared, “Jean-Pierre is widely regarded (by normal Americans) as the worst White House press secretary in modern history.” Scott Jennings said, “She is the literal worst White House press secretary in my lifetime.” Axios reported that an unnamed House Democrat stated, “Other than Sean Spicer ... she was the worst press secretary in American history.”

The Axios article set fire to Jean-Pierre’s reputation:

Jean-Pierre has also been lit up by her former Biden White House colleagues, with one former official telling Axios' Alex Thompson she was “one of the most ineffectual and unprepared people I've ever worked with.”

·       “She had meltdowns after any interview that asked about a topic not sent over by producers,” the official said.

·       Said another: “The amount of time that was spent coddling [Jean-Pierre] and appeasing her was astronomical compared to our attention on actual matters of substance.”

Almost every political pundit sees Jean-Pierre’s move for exactly what it is: a grift; or at least an attempt at a grift. She wants to cash in on her time as Biden’s press secretary, and nothing else has worked out so far (even “The View” doesn’t want her!), so why not leave the party and write a book. After all, as is almost always the case with those who share Jean-Pierre’s worldview, this is all about her and what’s in it for her.

Of course, Joe Biden completely deserves this. Jean-Pierre had virtually zero qualifications to be press secretary. She was hired for two reasons alone: she’s black and she’s a homosexual. In other words, like Kamala Harris, et-al, Jean-Pierre was a DEI hire, and like Kamala, she was a disaster at her job! And as was the case with naming Kamala as his V.P., the Jean-Pierre hire has now come back to bite Biden. Maybe one day, the Democrats will learn, but I doubt it.

The Dumbest Word in the English Language

To kick off “Pride Pervert Month”—best known as June—the degenerates of West Hollywood paraded this (warning: graphic) in front of children:

Libs of TikTok, Nancy Mace, Turning Point and others reported on this evil debauchery. Likewise, after airing a “‘pro gay’ episode” that featured “prominent zesty cross dresser Johnathan Van Ness,” Sesame Street has been accused of “grooming” children.:

Parents, BEWARE!

Sesame Street is grooming your kids.

This show is aimed at TODDLERS and what do they promote?

- covid vaccines
- BLM protests
- transgender kids
- pride month
- lgbtq propaganda

GROOMERS. https://t.co/VEyMpxnt7J pic.twitter.com/4mShlAooko

That sure looks like grooming to me! Of course, when you or I call out this evil for what it is, almost certainly we get labeled with what I have long referred to as “the dumbest word in the English language.” That word is “homophobe” (which stems from the equally dumb word “homophobia”).

“Homophobia” was coined by psychologist and gay activist George Weinberg in his 1972 book Society and the Healthy Homosexual. The book was published one year prior to the American Psychiatric Association removing homosexuality (by a vote of 5,834 to 3,810) from its list of mental disorders. The word became an important tool for homosexual activists and their allies. Weinberg gave them a “medical” phobia with which to attack their opponents.

Weinberg defined the word as “the dread of being in close quarters with homosexuals,” adding “It was a fear of homosexuals which seemed to be associated with a fear of contagion, a fear of reducing the things one fought for—home and family. It was a religious fear and it had led to great brutality as fear always does.”

Merriam-Webster defines homophobia as “discrimination against, aversion to, or fear of homosexuality or gay people.” One problem with the word is that it makes no sense etymologically. “Homo,” from the Greek, means “the same” and “phobia,” from the Greek, means “fear.” So literally, homophobia means fear of the same.

However, my greatest complaint with the term does not stem from its etymological shortcomings. The English language, like most languages, is in constant flux and is full of silly words. The biggest problem with homophobia and its variations is that they have become “snarl” words—words that, when used, are intended to insult and induce a negative response from listeners or readers. Such words commonly appeal to people’s emotions rather than their reasoning.

In other words, “homophobe” is used much like “racist.” Like “racist,” “homophobe” is virtually never used with honest context. Almost every time I hear or see “homophobe” (and its derivatives) used, it’s used as a snarl word. Virtually everyone—especially Christians—who speak out against the wide array of homosexual perversions are called a “homophobe” or labeled “homophobic.” This is particularly true at this time of the year.

Likewise, those who speak the truth about homosexuality—namely that homosexual behavior is a sin and nothing to celebrate—are labeled “homophobes.” Simply quoting the Bible when it comes to homosexuality often also leads to snarl-word attacks, or worse. Many nations are now putting people in jail for merely telling the truth—including quoting Scripture—on homosexuality.

Thus we see that the false idea of “homophobia” has become so ingrained in many nations—especially those corrupted by liberalism—of the world that it is illegal to be a “homophobe.” Despite the avalanche of attacks against truth-tellers on homosexuality, the simple truth is that “homophobia” is virtually non-existent. Likewise with “homophobes.”

When these abominations of the English language are used, the left is attempting—as they so often do—to shame their opponents into silence. This is because they are again on the wrong side of the truth!

The left—the Democrat Party, their media lackeys, et al—is on the wrong side of the truth on virtually every significant moral issue of our time. Whether abortion, sexual activity, sex (males/females), marriage, war, healthcare, and so on, the modern left gets it grossly wrong. Therefore, they lie repeatedly (they have to!) in order to further their agenda.

Their lying efforts often lead to a gross butchering of language. Note how difficult it is for most leftists to simply define “woman.” This perversion of thought has reached the highest levels of our culture. Leaders in our schools, corporations, legislatures, courts, executive offices, and the like, have all taken to abusing language in order to distort and deceive.

For another prominent and recent example, consider “transgender” (a close second for the title of “the dumbest word in the English language”). There is no such thing as a “transgender,” and it is impossible to change one’s sex. Nevertheless, the left persists in using this word and has even stooped to lying with pronouns to help perpetuate the “transgender” lie.

Boys and men are repeatedly referenced using female pronouns, as are women with male pronouns. CNN did this just this week as a high school boy in California again took trophies away from high school girls. Thank God lawyer Julie Hamill was having none of it! The left lies like this with a straight face and acts like were all supposed to just play along. They’re often aghast when we refuse.

We need more like Julie Hamill who will refuse to play along with the rampant linguistic lies of the modern left. This is especially true when it comes to the major moral issues.
