Does California Want To Start A Civil War?

Original Article

Posted By: RockyTCB, 9/25/2025 8:48:32 AM

The California Legislature passed, and Gov. Gavin Newsom eagerly signed, a bill that forbids law enforcement officers from concealing their identities with masks. The law applies to local as well as federal officers, but it’s clearly intended to make it easier to dox federal immigration agents. Of course the administration says it will ignore the law. So what happens when local and state officers try to enforce it? A war? California also forbids federal agents from enforcing immigration law in state courthouses. Again, the potential for blue-on-blue violence is ramped up by a Democratic

Lefties ought to be more careful about starting a civil war. Their side wants “safe spaces” and can’t figure out which bathroom to use. Our side has all the guns…

The thing about California that many out-of-staters don't realize is that other than the blue cities, it is very red, and very well-armed. If we wanted to brush aside the Gavin Newson Brigades, we could. Starting with him. As for me and my family, we're out of here in a few weeks. AM...you know the rest

If Newsom can find someone in local or California law enforcement to go out and interfere with federal law enforcement and arrest a federal agent who is wearing a mask while carrying out federal law enforcement duties. What will happen is the appropriate US Attorney will have the case removed to the Federal Courts where the matter will be dismissed, and the California law will be ruled to be unconstitutional. Thus making the politically grandstanding Newsome look stupid!

Newsom's unconstitutional legislative stunt is nonsense but so is the idea of federal law enforcement officers routinely wearing masks. Nonsense vs. nonsense.

FTA: "We understand the virtue signaling of California lawmakers and are aware of Newsom’s chronic ache to occupy the White House. But this law sets up conflicts between law enforcement officers that could get bloody, even deadly. It’s an intentional provocation." Oh, wait. Are you accusing the governor of California of being a PROVOCATEUR?!

For anyone who might be eager for or ambivalent about a second civil war....I strongly recommend that you read Kurt Schlichter's latest book.....American Apocalypse: The Second Civil War. I have read it, and nothing in it surprised me. A war with 100% American dead will be hideous. One thing the consider....do you have enough stored food for your family to survive for 2 years of empty grocery stores? Essentially no one does, including me.

It's difficult to understand why all police in California don't just quit their jobs since they are not allowed to enforce the law but then standing around all day and being paid for doing nothing is the ideal job for some people. It works for their firemen too.

#7, storing enough food for two years is not difficult but defending it from the hungry hordes who did not store any food would be the challenge. That requires two years worth of ammunition.

If an armed man comes to my door with his face hidden, he is an enemy who intends to do me harm. Should a convenience store clerk just smile and wave at the guy in the ski mask? Should the cab driver let the guy in with his hat pulled down over his face? People who wear masks are never the good guys. This aint Batman or the Lone Ranger.

#7. Reading it now and agree 100% on a national scale. California standing alone, with its “blue male” urban demographics consisting largely of soyboys and street vermin, could be a different story. Then again, they would likely get a lot of outside (and foreign) help. They’d need it.

If Newsom and the left had not condoned harassing and threatening ICE agents and their families their would not have had to resort to masks to protect their families and themselves. There have been numerous attempts to kill ICE agents by leftist wackos.

Numbnuts Newsome has just provided 100% Legal and Lawful rationale for Trumps deploying Federal forces in Calif and any "location/region/state in open rebellion, insurrection or interfering with the due process of Federal Laws". Since the only masses of Lefties in Calif are in the larger coastal cities, with all of their power,electricity, fuel, water and food having to come over narrow mountain pass roads and rail, easily blockaded, and from the sea....also easily blockaded.Powerlines easily turned off, pipelines easily turned off. If there is a conflict? It won't last long.

#11. The federal officers who are wearing masks while enforcing federal law that I have seen were all wearing tactical uniforms that identify them as being Police, ICE, US Border Patrol, FBI, ATF, DEA, or US MARSHAL. It’s their tactical uniforms and badges that give them the authority to apprehend offenders and not what their face looks like. Those federal law enforcement crews are not about to show up at your home unless you are a potential witness, or you are a suspected offender. In any case it is not a good idea to become aggressive towards law enforcement officers, either, local, state, or federal dressed in tactical uniforms!

#17 is correct. ICE officers and other law enforcement are easily identifiable. Their uniforms show what they are. Why would Newsome want them unmasked? The only reason would be that it would make them personally identifiable and, along with their families, subject to harassment or worse. This clip should make a good ad to run against him. He has given Republicans a great gift with this foolish posturing.

For years, we were told by government officials and outside “experts” that the terrorists in our midst were mostly right-wing fanatics – a list that under the Biden administration came to include parents who spoke up at local school board meetings and Catholics who like the Latin mass. But even the left is now admitting what everyone else already knows. Namely, that despite their constant bleating about tolerance and peace, it’s leftists who pose the greatest threat to Americans. This week, the Trump-hating Atlantic magazine published an article titled “Left-Wing Terrorism Is on the Rise,” written by scholars at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS).

With violent crime unchecked in major American cities, President Donald Trump has moved to lower thefts, assaults and murders by providing federal help to besieged local police.

Perhaps Mark Ruffalo really does think he has an indestructible giant lurking inside his insufferable jerk exterior.

But don’t expect Disney stock to suddenly bounce back, or subscriptions to Disney+ to surge. Mark Ruffalo is no Warren Buffett.

It’s been amusing to watch the left’s reaction to ABC giving the boot to Jimmy Kimmel. Not because of their rank hypocrisy when it comes to censorship. Or their claim that firing a low-rated late-night “comic” means “authoritarianism has arrived.” Or the fact that they are far more outraged that Kimmel lost his time slot than that Charlie Kirk lost his life over things they said.

Given the national anguish and pain over the assassination of Charlie Kirk, you might think that the leftist big media would at least be treading softly right now, especially given the overwhelming evidence that’s already been made public about Kirk’s alleged assassin. But you would be wrong. We’ve already addressed the lies and exaggerations told about Kirk to somehow justify his murder. Now the left is trying to come up with a counter-narrative about his assassin. Kirk wasn’t murdered by an unhinged leftist; he was killed by a MAGA adherent. It’s a lie on stilts.

It was a rare and welcome instance where both sides of a deeply divided nation came to agree on something. But how long will it last? On a podcast, Bondi said, “There’s free speech and then there’s hate speech, and there is no place, especially now, especially after what happened to Charlie, in our society….We will absolutely target you, go after you, if you are targeting anyone with hate speech.”

It’s safe to say that no one knew the scope of Charlie Kirk’s influence until after his death. What he was able to achieve on college campuses has no parallel. This country desperately needs someone who will do the same in our big cities. Charlie – we feel it’s more appropriate, more human to use his first name rather than his last last name, a traditional newspaper treatment that under the circumstances feels vulgar – was known for his argument that college was a scam. But his real contribution was challenging students to cast off the conditioning that has been imposed on

The assassination of Charlie Kirk was unlike anything any of us on the Issues & Insights editorial board have seen in our lifetimes. Kirk didn’t hold any political power. He wasn’t rich. He didn’t call for or incite violence. He was a young man of strong beliefs who enjoyed debating other young people on the big issues of the day. And for that, he was brutally murdered. You’d think this would cause even his fiercest critics to stop for a moment and take stock in what just happened. If only out of consideration for his wife and two young children.
