Sorry, Brandon, The Supremacy Clause Gives President Trump Purview To Crush Chaos in All Blue Cities

As a preface to this monologue, I want to address the recent ruling by a judge—a Biden-appointed District Judge, April Perry—that places a temporary hold on the President’s deployment of National Guard troops in Chicago. In her ruling, which will not hold up on appeal, she said she has seen “no credible evidence that there is danger of rebellion in the state of Illinois.” Her ruling is a willful suspension of reality, as evidenced by the videos coming out of Chicago showing mobs attacking law enforcement in their discharge of codified immigration law. Perry is an embarrassment to the judiciary and should be removed by Congress.That said, Congressional Republicans are grossly negligent in reigning in; in narrowing the scope of purview—as is their authority under the US Constitution—of activist judges whose rulings have resulted in facilitating insurrection and death in our city streets. God knows what the hell they are waiting for.In the grand architecture of the US Constitution, the Supremacy Clause stands as an unyielding pillar, declaring in Article VI that the Constitution, federal laws, and treaties “shall be the supreme Law of the Land.” This isn’t hyperbole; it’s the law. When state and local wanna-be potentates prioritize ideological posturing over public safety, the federal government holds the high ground to intervene. Paired with the Insurrection Act of 1807, which empowers the President to deploy federal forces to suppress domestic violence or rebellion when states abdicate their duties, it paints a clear picture: Washington doesn’t just oversee the nation—it owns the authority to restore order when governors and mayors play footsie with anarchy for votes and virtue signals.Consider the festering sores in Chicago, Los Angeles, and Portland, where self-righteous buffoonish officials like Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson; opportunistic charlatans like California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass; and intellectually stunted virtue-signalers like Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek, and Portland Mayor Keith Wilson have turned urban cores into ideological playgrounds. Their grandstanding—sanctuary edicts, police defunding echoes, and open defiance of federal immigration enforcement—hasn’t quelled uprisings; it’s enabled them. From anti-ICE riots to gang-fueled terror, these leaders’ failures scream for federal override. The Supremacy Clause doesn’t tolerate such ideological sabotage; it demands restoration of order, lest the Republic fracture into fiefdoms ruled by performative artist progressive politicians and activists.Take Chicago, where Pritzker and Johnson embody the nadir of elected irresponsibility. Johnson’s fresh executive order, inked just days ago, brazenly carves out “ICE-free zones” across city properties like schools and parks, barring federal agents from civil immigration enforcement without warrants. It’s a red-carpet invitation for chaos, shielding undocumented felons while law-abiding citizens dodge bullets and used needles. Pritzker, ever the enabler, has thumbed his nose at President Trump’s National Guard deployments, vowing “resistance” that borders on sedition. Their defiant idiocy peaked amid reports of Latin Kings gang members slapping a $10,000 bounty on US Border Patrol Chief Gregory Bovino, part of a 1,000% surge in assaults on ICE officers. To that end, federal prosecutors nabbed alleged Latin Kings kingpin Juan Espinoza Martinez for the murder-for-hire plot, a direct fallout from sanctuary coddling that lets gangs operate with impunity.And the “rampant crime” they downplay? It’s a slaughterhouse reality that no spin can mask. With 356 innocents gunned down year-to-date as of October 6, Chicago’s streets pulse with the blood of the forsaken—the US murder capital for the 13th straight year, a toll that shames any notion of a civilized city. Shootings? A relentless barrage claiming 1,589 victims through the same date, turning playgrounds into kill zones and ambulances into grim shuttles for the maimed— an epidemic of lead that demands reckoning. Fueling this nightmare? An estimated 150,000 gang members—more than in any other American city—locked in perpetual vendettas, their arsenals unchecked by Johnson’s pathetic virtue-signaling zones and Pritzker’s limp-wristed oversight. Summer murders tallied 123 in June through August, a quarterly body count that would make any drug cartel take notice. These ideologues grandstand for applause from open-borders crowds, safe in their northshore gated communities, but their policies scream neglect—prioritizing migrant optics over Midwestern lives, while 150,000 gangbangers carve up the city like a birthday cake.Shift west to California, where Newsom and Bass helm a state of shattered illusions. Newsom’s sanctuary empire, cemented since 2017, has ballooned fentanyl deaths from 200 annually to thousands, as border chaos spills ...
