In the budget I will present to you, we will try to do more to speed the deportation of illegal aliens who are arrested for crimes, to better identify illegal aliens in the workplace as recommended by the commission headed by former Congresswoman Barbara Jordan. We are a nation of immigrants. But we are also a nation of laws. It is wrong and ultimately self-defeating for a nation of immigrants to permit the kind of abuse of our immigration laws we have seen in recent years, and we must do more to stop it.
President Bill Clinton, 1995 State of the Union Address
President Donald J. Trump isn't messing around. Said Trump on truth social thursday, "if the corrupt politicians of minnesota don't obey the law and stop the professional agitators and insurrectionists from attacking the patriots of i.c.e., who are only trying to do their job, I will institute the INSURRECTION ACT, which many presidents have done before me, and quickly put an end to the travesty that is taking place in that once great state."
In recent history, the president who faced a dilemma most like Trump's was John Kennedy. In 1962 Mississippi, when local authorities proved unable or unwilling to suppress a mounting insurrection, then President Kennedy exercised his legitimate authority to restore order.

Tim Walz's role model, Mississippi Gov. Ross Barnett
In Mississippi, the Tim Walz role was played by the opportunistic Mississippi Governor Ross Barnett. Barnett at least was defending states right and old traditions. In Minnesota, as the Clinton State of the Union made clear, Walz is defending the indefensible, a "self-defeating" policy no older than Joe Biden's presidency and no wiser than Joe Biden.
"if anything, Walz has done more to fan the flames of insurrection than Barnett did. said Walz wednesday on official stationery, 'armed, masked, undertrained ice agents are going door to door, ordering people to point out where their neighbors of color live. they're pulling over people indiscriminately, including U.S. citizens, and demanding to see their papers." Yikes!
"the protest at Ole Miss was sparked by the admission of Air Force veteran James Meredith, the school's first black student. After several attempts to enroll were rebuffed, Meredith showed up on September 30, 1962, escorted by two dozen U.S. Marshals and backed up by several federal hundred law enforcement officers. These included border patrol agents and prison guards, few of whom had any training in quelling riots.
"Said Barnett, 'news reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos and disruption and trauma the federal government is raining down upon our communities." no sorry, my mistake. that was Walz.

"As the evening of September 30 wore on, thousands of protestors gathered around the Lyceum, the administration building where the federal agents had gathered. As in minnesota, local authorities played to the mob. They empowered the agitators by abandoning federal law enforcement.
"At 11 p.m. Barnett declared, 'We will never surrender!" Then all hell broke loose much the way it has in minneapolis these last few days, but it was scarier. Trump has weather on his side—temperatures in minneapolis are unlikely to reach 15 degrees for the next week. and although Trump faces a cadre of trained activists, Kennedy faced an inchoate army of potentially thousands of good-ole boys who had guns and knew how to use them. Before the long night was through at Ole Miss 160 agents would be injured, nearly 30 of them shot.

"running out of options, President Kennedy invoked the Insurrection Act of 1807 and ordered the U.S. Army to suppress the riot. As William Doyle explains in his excellent book, American Insurrection, the Army was not easily mustered, especially since Robert Kennedy, way out of his depth, assumed responsibility for the mustering.
"The heroes of Doyle's book were the members of the Mississippi National Guard, good ole boys themselves who signed up for a mix of reasons unsuspecting that one day they would have to square off against their friends and neighbors.
"Kennedy had federalized the Guard as a caution two days before Meredith's planned arrival. They were nearby, but many doubted they would show up when called. Fortunately for the university, the state, and the country they did. Had they not, it is likely the rioters would have overrun the Lyceum and killed the federal agents within. The first U.S. Army troops arrived early the next morning. By midday, October 1, the rioting had been quelled.
"Had the national media sided with the insurrectionists, as they have clearly done in minneapolis, the nation might very well have embarked on Civil War 2.0. The Soviets may have been counting on this outcome. The Cuban Missile Crisis began two weeks after the dust settled at Ole Miss.

"In 1962, Democrats defended the right of a black veteran to attend law school. In 2026, they defend the right of illegal alien rapists, drug dealers, sex traffickers, murderers, and sundry gang bangers to remain free from federal custody. This is no longer the party of JFK. Hell, it is no longer even the party of Bill Clinton or Barack Obama."
N.S.: I was with Jack, until the last sentence.

Before I read this,I had just posted about what democrats, republicans and nazis should be defined as--in 2026--compared to fifty years ago. Cashill makes a similar point,so I'm glad he agrees with me,lol.

So looking back--correct me if I'm wrong--Cashill supported Kennedy,in allowing a black(veteran or not)to start the next upheaval of integration in our schools and society. Look where that got us,Jack.
