The Issue: Gov. Gavin Newsom and LA Mayor Karen Bass’ mishandling of the anti-ICE riots.
America today is a country separated into two nations: One Democratic, one Republican (“Cali’s gruesome Newsom twosome,” Douglas Murray, June 13).
There is no more meeting of minds and compromises between them.
I’ve been watching the sad state of affairs in Los Angeles. It galled me to see rioters burning and spitting on a US flag.
Gov. Gavin Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass are clueless and useless. They should be ashamed of themselves for not instantly responding and nipping this riot in the bud.
The California forest fires, the riots, looting and destruction coupled with the lack of leadership have many Californians fleeing the state.

Are we to believe Bass’ dismissal, saying rioters “got a little unruly” or Gov. Newsom’s absurd surmise that the deployment of the National Guard was “purposefully inflammatory?”
Los Angeles deserves leaders who can handle the truth, not these gibberish whisperers. People who live in glass houses shouldn’t condone the throwing of stones.

Thank you, Newsom. Unlike anyone before, you have maximally shown why support for the left is imploding at this very moment by declaring, in golden robes of gubernatorial majesty, that democracy is under attack in LA.
You’re lying to us, and not for the first time. You and the woke left actually despise democracy; it’s anarchy you cherish.
Not even six months have passed since President Trump took office, and we are beginning to see with astonishing clarity why his election was so crucial to the preservation of this great nation.

It is a most disgraceful scene to see the US flag being disrespected, spat on and burnt by protesters who are probably illegal aliens.
Are you listening, Newsom? You organized this anarchy. Riots have to be stopped immediately. You’re not governing the city. What are you going to do when a big earthquake happens?
End this nonsense now or worse will come.

Here we go again with riots in Los Angeles. Remember Watts in the ’70s?
Venezuela has its faults, but they have got the prison system down pat. What our country needs is a super-max prison where rioters and looters can spend 30 years locked up with their like-minded buddies.
Granted, that won’t deter all of them, because incompetent fools like Gov. Newsom and Mayor Bass will always be the flies in the ointment, who will defend them and hinder their arrest and prosecution. However, it may cause a few of the brighter ones to think twice before they burn our flag, set cars on fire, assault law enforcement and loot stores.
Alcatraz would be a good place to start.

Danbury, Conn.
Newsom taunted border czar Tom Homan to lock him up; Trump told reporters he thought Homan should do it (“I’d lock up ‘nice guy’ Gavin: Don,” June 10).
Newsom then responded by accusing Trump of calling for his arrest. It’s like a speeder flying past a police officer screaming “pull me over.”
Perhaps things would calm down a little if Newsom was more respectful of law and order.

Gov. Newsom needs to be arrested for both the riots and the mishandling of the Palisades fires. You can also add Mayor Bass to the list.
Newsom is the biggest narcissist ever. He seems to think that rules only apply to those he sees fit. Remember COVID and his mask-less dinner at French Laundry?
California is a cesspool. Just look at LA and San Francisco — the latter he ruined all by himself.

Tom Homan has important things to do and cannot be bothered by Newsom’s publicity-seeking call to be arrested.
