<p>There they go again!!! ; Democrats are in another round of tonsorial arson. ; This time it has to do with President Trump taking over the California National Guard to address the anti-government riots in Los Angeles – and his later decision to send in the Marines. ; He is doing what any governor would do in similar circumstances – except Gavin Newsom, of course.</p>



<p>In their zeal to demonize Trump at every turn, Democrats and their media cronies are rewriting history and misinforming the public on a grand scale. ; They report as if Trump’s actions are unconstitutional and unprecedented – acts of an authoritarian, they say. ; Not so. ; Within my lifetime, six presidents – four Democrats and two Republicans – have used similar measures to quell unrest and restore law and order – and ; some for more dubious reasons.</p>



<p>In 1924, President <strong>Franklin Roosevelt</strong> issued Executive Order 9066 to provide a legal rationale for <strong>using the United States military</strong> to round up Japanese American citizens and relocate them to concentration camps. ; In a dark moment, the FDR-controlled Supreme Court upheld that clearly unconstitutional action.</p>



<p>In anticipation of a national railway workers&#8217; strike – and potential violence &#8211; in 1950, <strong>President Truman</strong> <strong>deployed the Army</strong> to seize and run the railroads, citing national security concerns.</p>



<p><strong>President Eisenhower</strong> <strong>Federalized the Arkansas National Guard AND sent the Air Force’s 101<sup>st</sup> Airborne Division to Little Rock, Arkansas</strong>, to restore order and enforce the law, while Democrats in the south and elsewhere raised a ruckus. It was done over he objection of the Governor. There was no national pushback against the actions. No media propaganda in support of the rioters. No question of authority or constitutionality. No biased media disinformation campaign.</p>



<p>In 1962, <strong>President Kennedy</strong> <strong>sent U.S. Marshals and federal troops to Mississippi</strong> to protect James Meredith’s enrollment in the University of Mississippi against protestors and rioters. ; In 1963, Kennedy<strong> federalized the Alabama National Guard</strong> to control protests and rioting against Blacks entering the University of Alabama. The only voiced opposition was from southern Democrat leaders, including the governors of the two states.</p>



<p><strong>President Johnson</strong> invoked the <strong>Insurrection Act</strong> <strong>to send</strong> <strong>federal troops to Detroit</strong>, Michigan, during the 1967 riots, one of the most violent civil disturbances in U.S. history. He also <strong>deployed federal troops to Washington, D.C</strong>. in 1968 to quell riots in the aftermath of the assassination of Martin Luther King.</p>



<p><strong>President H. W. Bush</strong> used the <strong>Insurrection Act to send federal troops to Los Angeles</strong> during the Rodney King riots in 1992. When rioting continued, Bush then <strong>sent in both Marine and Army units</strong>. Republican Governor Pete Wilson thanked Bush the support.</p>



<p>So much for the pulp fiction propaganda being spewed by Democrats and the left-wing media.</p>



<p>Trump is taking action for the same reasons most his predecessors took action – to enforce the rule-of-law and protect law abiding American citizens from violence and harm. ; And as was the case in the past, powerful leaders of the Democratic Party stand in opposition and defiance to Trump &#8212; and the rule-of-law. ; Democrats are standing with the illegal aliens and those illegally rioting on their behalf.</p>



<p>So, there ‘tis.</p>

Trump’s actions in LA are neither unprecedented nor illegal
