America’s third civil war ratcheted up with the deployment of troops to Los Angeles. Remember we are not only celebrating the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution, we are reliving it. History may not repeat itself but it certainly does rhyme.
The current civil war combines elements of all three civil wars.
First there is the king versus no king confrontation.
Second there is the renaming of the American bases after Confederate generals combined with the ongoing suppression of the supposedly enfranchised voters of the wrong skin color.
Third there is MAGA versus Woke.
As John Adams claimed, the population is divided into thirds among Loyalists, Patriots, and “just leave me alone so I can get on with my life without having my farm ravaged, so too, today one may speak of We the People as the perhaps not so silent majority. Whichever side can claim the loyalty of We the People wins.
LOYALISTS
The Loyalists today are following a similar strategy to the one initially followed by the British – occupy the cities. Britain first targeted Boston (Harvard), New York (King’s College/Columbia), and Philadelphia (Pennsylvania). This time Los Angeles is the first to be occupied by loyalist forces as an admittedly trial run for other major cities in the now larger United States.
The policy is encountering some problems.
First ICE does not have manpower to capture the requisite number of illegal aliens to meet the 3000/day standard which the Loyalist faction has set. So far in 2025, it has not come even remotely close to deporting the millions the King stated would be deported. Even with the mobilization or cannibalization of armed personnel from every federal institution under the sun, the reduced goal of 3000/day seems unattainable. Finding locations for the captured people seems more of a challenge than ICE can reach at present.
Second, even identifying the people to be deported has been problematic. Such identification is a retail operation. Besides being time consuming and prone to error, it rips people from local communities where they have long-lived and are welcome. The people being deported are not some nameless horde of subhuman violent criminal barbarians invading this country but people from next door, hard-working people in the community who pay taxes, send their kids to school where they participate in school activities, and are members of a local church.
Third, local businesses are often bearing the brunt of ICE’s sweeps as their workers are forcibly removed. They want it stopped.
Fourth, ICE’s actions are arousing even more opposition.
We are now in the ludicrous position, where the King is ranting and raving about an invasion force that has occupied Los Angeles. The situation is so dire that it necessitated activating the California National Guard and sending in the Marines against the wishes of the Mayor and the Governor.
This brazen exercise of power has several complications.
First, it is illegal.
Second, it is stupid as Marines are forced to wile away their time in the dreaded activity of “wait.”
Third, it has been poorly executed. National Guard people have lives, they have families, they have jobs. They have been abruptly removed from all that without even being paid for their new assignment (so far).
Fourth, despite all the talk of invasion, occupation, and a city out of control, over 53,000 people braved the trek to Chavez Ravine, to watch the Dodgers and Giants battle for first place in their division. The number of people living their normal lives far exceeds the wild claims of the Loyalist forces.
The longer the Loyalist forces remain in Los Angeles, the weaker their position becomes and the stronger the rebel position becomes.
REBELS
We have already seen the first glimmerings of the Rebel cause with the celebration of the ride of Paul Revere (Ride Paul Ride: The 2025 Showdown between Patriots and Loyalists). At that time, the rebels wisely embraced the language and flags of the patriots from the American Revolution.

Now the No Kings Day is here and not simply an announcement as it was in April. Over 2000 events are scheduled nationwide. The Loyalists simply do not have the forces to occupy so many communities. So although the day coincidentally is Flag Day, the anniversary of the origin of the army, and the birthday of the President, the event that will garner the biggest numbers will be the protests against the rule of a king. For someone infatuated with crowd size to the point of even lying about the crowd size on his very first day in office in 2016, this nationwide expression of opposition to the rule of the King will be a bitter pill to swallow.
Of course, the actions today are not the end of the story. The rebel position will continue to increase. As the TACO President backs down against China and in Los Angeles, his deranged rhetoric about an invasion, about occupied cites, about the need for military force to take back our country will become more and more hollow. He increasingly will be a laughingstock taken seriously only on Foxhub. And his takeover of the American 250th at the federal level as a bungled celebration to himself will only serve to spur celebrations at the grass roots level.
