President Trump has pulled another ace from his sleeve, proving once again that when it comes to making bold moves, he isn’t playing around. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, not exactly known for its warm relationship with Trump, has handed him a rare but significant victory. The court unanimously backed his decision to federalize the National Guard in Los Angeles, a move that left many of the President’s detractors with jaws dropping. Even a judge appointed by Biden sided with him. Critics may grumble, but it’s clear: Trump’s decisions on law and order are holding their ground.
Meanwhile, Vice President Vance has been out in Los Angeles, shaking hands and meeting with law enforcement and Marines who are there to do the hard work of protecting Angelenos. The radical left continues to paint Trump as some sort of extremist villain, but his ability to secure such a ruling demonstrates he’s actually the adult in the room. Perhaps it’s time for those who scoff at Trump’s authority to reconsider who’s really wearing the big kid pants.
The ruling is a sharp rebuke to those who think they know better than the Commander in Chief, including certain district court judges who like to play at being military strategists. The Ninth Circuit rightfully pointed out that it’s not up to judges to second-guess Trump on his military decisions. After all, the country elects a president, not a gaggle of judges acting as mini-commanders in chief. Let’s save the military command decisions for those with the resolute desk, not the gavel-wielding gallery.
On another front, immigration remains a topic Trump knows how to navigate with nuance. His administration is cracking down on the real villains—criminals who cross the border illegally, causing havoc. Yet, he understands the importance of farmers and honest work, indicating a willingness to develop a system allowing reputable farmers to take more control over their hiring practices. In the world of Trump, illegal is illegal, but he’s not keen on hurting our beloved farmers who keep our dinner tables full. Maybe the radical left should take notes and stop gnawing at every word the President utters.
As for California’s leadership, figures like Karen Bass, Gavin Newsom, and even Nashville’s mayor seem more interested in standing with those who break the law than with their own citizens. Trump’s decision to send the National Guard isn’t an act of aggression; it’s a necessary measure to restore safety and support overworked police officers. The objective is clear: enforce the law and protect Americans. Instead of balking at the President’s decisions, state leaders might consider how their policies have contributed to their communities’ decline. Isn’t it ironic that those who oppose Trump’s methods often inadvertently prove him right?
