   “This is our city and this was Mexico!”   
      
   That’s the viral quote from a protester caught on video in the middle of   
   the Los Angeles riots, a clip that has now been viewed nearly nine million   
   times on X. While it would be easy to dismiss the statement as a one-off,   
   it’s indicative of a broader narrative now gaining steam on the left:   
   America doesn’t really belong to Americans.   
      
   It’s not just random left-wing activists who are pushing this narrative.   
   Pop star Katy Perry recently posted on her Instagram story that LA was   
   “founded by Mexican settlers in 1781.” Perry further claimed that LA was   
   “once Mexican land, and the people being targeted today are often   
   descendants of those who have lived here for generations.”   
      
   The president of Mexico’s Senate also recently suggested that Mexico   
   should reclaim large swaths of U.S. land – simply because some cities have   
   Mexican names. He even held up a map of pre-1830 Mexican territory,   
   implying that the U.S. Southwest is still rightfully theirs.   
      
   It’s the kind of sentiment that would earn applause in a college ethnic   
   studies seminar and ridicule in any serious history class.   
      
   First of all, according to the left’s rules, Los Angeles was never really   
   Mexican land. As liberals so often remind us, the land that is now LA was   
   originally populated by Native American tribes. So, if we’re playing the   
   stolen land game, Mexican settlers were no less “colonizers” than the   
   Europeans — just wearing different colors.   
      
   Moreover, the notion that LA was founded by “Mexican settlers” is itself   
   historically inaccurate. As anthropologist Robert Sepehr noted on X, the   
   city was in fact founded by Filipe de Neve y Padilla – a Spanish military   
   officer. In other words, LA was part of a European empire. De Neve’s   
   primary motivation, Sepehr says, “was to solidify Spain’s claim over the   
   territory.”   
      
   As any U.S. history book will tell you, the Treaty of Cahuenga in 1847   
   ended the Mexican-American War and transferred California – and LA – to   
   the United States. That’s how history works. Mexico lost. The U.S. won.   
   Nations throughout time have gained or lost land through war and   
   negotiation. That doesn’t make every modern border illegitimate. It makes   
   them real.   
      
   But historical inaccuracies aside, here’s where the deeper danger lies:   
   What we’re witnessing in Los Angeles is not just a riot – it’s a   
   declaration of ideological secession. These aren’t simply protests against   
   deportations or ICE raids. This is about a radical faction claiming they   
   do not recognize the United States’ authority at all.   
      
   The rioters wave Mexican flags because they want Mexico – or something   
   like it – to replace America. They are, in the literal definition of the   
   word, colonizers. They have entered a sovereign nation and now demand to   
   reshape it in their own image, under a different authority.   
      
   The same dynamic is at work when we see pro-Hamas protesters blanketing   
   American college campuses with terrorist flags, demanding the abolition of   
   borders and the destruction of Israel and the U.S. alike.   
      
   Democrats’ silence in the face of this anti-American crusade is deafening.   
   Governor Gavin Newsom and LA Mayor Karen Bass are siding with the   
   agitators, not the federal government. Both have implied that President   
   Trump has no authority to deploy the National Guard or enforce immigration   
   law in their “sanctuary” jurisdictions. Their message is the same as that   
   of the rioters: this land is not really under the control of the United   
   States.   
      
   This is the logical endpoint of the left’s sanctuary city movement, of   
   their ethnic grievance politics, and of their belief that America itself   
   is fundamentally illegitimate. They don’t recognize laws they disagree   
   with. They don’t think borders matter. And they’re not interested in   
   assimilation.   
      
   They are waving foreign flags on American soil while rejecting the   
   authority of the duly elected President of the United States and U.S.   
   Congress. It’s an open act of constitutional subversion that should alarm   
   every American.   
      
   The left, blinded by historical ignorance and fueled by a cocktail of   
   guilt and resentment, has now mainstreamed the belief that the United   
   States is an occupying force in its own cities. They say this land was   
   stolen – but apparently only when white Europeans took it.   
      
   The historical reality the left refuses to acknowledge is that land   
   ultimately belongs to those willing to conquer it and defend it. That has   
   always been true throughout human history, and it remains true today.   
   Native tribes constantly fought and displaced one another long before   
   Europeans ever showed up. The Revolutionary generation won the war with   
   Britain to form the United States –conquering land from a European empire.   
   California became American land through the same means. That is not up for   
   debate.   
      
   What is up for debate – and rapidly reaching a boiling point – is whether   
   America has the will to defend its territory and uphold its laws in the   
   face of open insurrection.   
      
   For this reason, Trump’s decision to deploy the National Guard was not   
   only justified – it was essential. When activists, celebrities, and   
   foreign governments are openly calling for the reversal of American   
   sovereignty over its own cities and denying the right of authorities to   
   enforce federal law, it’s no longer about immigration policy. It’s about   
   whether the United States is going to exist as a nation at all.   
      
      
   --   
   November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump.  We look   
   forward to America being great again.   
      
   We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that   
   stupid people won't be offended.   
      
   Every day is an IQ test. Some pass, some, not so much.   
      
   Thank you for cleaning up the disasters of the 2008-2017, 2020-2024 Obama   
   / Biden / Harris fiascos, President Trump.   
      
   Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the   
   The World According To Garp.  Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood   
   queer liberal democrat donors.
