This is the first rule of government: keep people safe. It’s the one job they absolutely cannot fail. Yet, we’ve all seen the horrifying footage from cities where that basic duty has been tossed in the trash in favor of radical politics and mob rule.

These crumbling liberal bastions have become a national disgrace, testaments to a failed ideology that pampers criminals while punishing citizens. For a brief moment, a strong leader was willing to draw a line in the sand, bringing a sliver of peace to streets surrendered to anarchy. But a devastating decision has just been made, not on the streets, but in the supposedly impartial halls of justice, sealing the fate of millions.

From ‘The Post Millennial’:

President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday his decision to pull National Guard troops from Los Angeles, California, Chicago, Illinois, and Portland, Oregon. This comes amid a series of legal defeats, including a recent US Supreme Court decision blocking deployments in Illinois…

“We are removing the National Guard from Chicago, Los Angeles, and Portland, despite the fact that CRIME has been greatly reduced by having these great Patriots in those cities, and ONLY by that fact.” He added that the cities “were GONE if it weren’t for the Federal Government stepping in” and declared that federal forces could return “perhaps in a much different and stronger form, when crime begins to soar again— Only a question of time!”

Don’t let the mainstream media spin this. This wasn’t a retreat. This was a forced surrender. President Trump’s hand was pushed by the very people who prefer burning cities to a secure America. For months, our brave patriots stood as a thin line between civilization and mayhem, only to have their authority gutted by activist judges in black robes.

President Trump did what any real leader would do. He saw federal property under attack by leftist extremists and cities managed by feckless Democratic mayors who simply refused to act. He sent in the National Guard to restore order, and as he confirmed, crime was “greatly reduced.” But the radical left has a powerful accomplice: a weaponized judiciary.

The Betrayal From the Bench

From Portland to Chicago, a cascade of legal defeats, capped by a Supreme Court ruling, has effectively tied the President’s hands. Using flimsy arguments about the 10th Amendment as a cheap shield, these rogue judges chose to side with the rioters. They have created legal sanctuaries for lawlessness, ruling that the federal government is powerless to enforce its own laws on its own property if a woke local government objects.

This is the rotten fruit of woke politics infecting our legal system. When a judge prioritizes the “right” of a mob to besiege an ICE facility over the safety of federal agents, the rule of law is officially a joke. These rulings are not a defense of the Constitution; they are a political hit job, designed to hamstring a leader they couldn’t beat at the ballot box.

A Countdown to Chaos

So now, what happens to the good people in Los Angeles, Chicago, and Portland? They’re left to face the music alone. President Trump’s warning is not a threat; it is a grim and unavoidable forecast. He knows, just as anyone with a shred of common sense does, that these cities are utterly incapable of policing themselves.

Who will protect the small business owner when the mob returns? Who will defend the family trapped in their home as the streets descend back into madness? And you can bet the same feckless officials who celebrated this decision will be the first to cry for help and deflect blame when the violence they invited comes roaring back. It is, as the President said, “only a question of time.”

The National Guard is gone, and the clock is ticking. This is the world the radical left and their judicial allies wanted, and now they have it. They’re celebrating, while the rest of us brace for the inevitable fallout.

• Woke ideology in our cities and courts prioritizes criminals over citizens.
