Trump Refuses to Protect the American People from Domestic Terrorists: They are Called “ICE”
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart
Nothing has changed, at least for the better, since Trump
was inaugurated in 2017. Beginning in that year, there have been more mass
shootings than days on the calendar. Domestic terrorism continues to be the
greatest danger to the American people in the 21st century. And your
illegitimate president has added to the problem with the use of his personal
Gestapo, ICE.
Truth: If good, law-abiding men and women fear any law
enforcement agency, that organization is composed of imposters.
DOMESTIC TERRORISM HAS MANY FORMS
Unfortunately, when the words “domestic,” and “terrorism”
are placed together, the word violence is automatically added. However, all
actions of terrorism do not include violence.
Your illegitimate president was given powers by six corrupt
and biased members of the Supreme Court unintended by the men who signed the
Constitution in 1789.
Trump is a mentally ill, old man, who chooses to use those
undeserved powers for evil, not for good.
Nothing matters to Trump with the exception of great wealth
and even greater power. He lied in 2024 when he made campaign promises to the
American people. His three biggest and most destructive lies are obvious.
“I will end inflation on day one.” “I will end Russia’s
invasion of Ukraine on day one.” “When I am your president, there will be no
more wars on foreign land.”
How’s the malignant narcissist doing?
VIOLENT ACTIONS AGAINST THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE THE MOST
OBVIOUS EXAMPLES OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND TERRORISM
The mainstream media and television news celebrate every
violent act of domestic terrorism. “Sensationalism” increases viewership, and
when the ratings are high, advertising revenue expands exponentially.
Fox has used this philosophy since its first broadcast in 1996.
The truth is often boring, but crime and scandal attract viewers. This is why
Trump has been their poster boy for the last 11 years.
This right-wing propaganda machine often incites violence to
acquire larger ratings. Therefore, they support domestic terrorism and applaud
Trump and his vicious treatment of undocumented immigrants, or those merely suspected
of being illegal residents.
ANOTHER “FIRST” FOR AMERICA
Gun violence in the 21st century is unique to
America. This is the ultimate and most visible example of domestic terrorism in
America today. It is unsafe to leave your home in 2026. Mass shootings continue
to be a serious threat to human life, but your cowardly and corrupt federal
government does nothing with the exception of “sending thoughts and prayers to
the victims and their families.”
Attacks continue to occur in the workplace, malls, grocery
stores, restaurants, bars, nightclubs, gyms, places of worship, and in our elementary
schools, high schools, colleges, and universities; anywhere where innocent
people gather in groups large and small.
ANOTHER INCIDENT WHEN THE UNIMAGINABLE BECOMES REALITY
As of September 23, 2026, there have been 42 shootings which
occurred in our nation’s schools. Take a moment to think about this fact and
imagine if one of your children attended one of these institutions.
On December 14, 2012, I was assigned to cover the massacre of
innocents at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut. At 9:30 on
that morning, a 20-year-old gunman began a ruthless and cruel attack on the school’s
children and faculty, armed with a military-style assault rifle, and a semiautomatic
pistol.
When the bloody and despicable event came to an end, 27
people lay dead in the classrooms and hallways of a place dedicated to
learning, laughter, friendship, and love. 20 of the innocents were first grade
students, ages 6 and 7. Six more were educators. The final death on that
horrific day was the shooter, who took his own life.
My first reactions were confusion, great sadness, and, as a
parent myself, the suffering of parents and relatives when they learned about
the loss of one of their youngest family members . As I began to write, I
thought, “this will force our incompetent and uncaring government to take
action and make gun control a priority.” Sadly, 14 years later, this all too
frequent situation has worsened, and mass shootings have become the “norm.”
YESTERDAY, ANOTHER SCHOOL SHOOTING WILL BE REPORTED AS “JUST
ANOTHER DAY” BY OUR FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
Yesterday, October 15, 2026, a 16-year-old boy used a
shotgun to destroy locks and gain entry into the Silver Rail Elementary School
in Bend, Oregon. Family friends reported that his mother had purchased the
weapon for him.
The perpetrator killed one teacher, and three children, ages
5, 8, and 11. An additional 54-year-old teacher and a 7-year-old girl were
critically injured. A parent, who had two girls attending the school, shot and
killed the terrorist before the police arrived.
I feel like giving up. Our entire government exists to serve
the people: their needs, wishes, and safety. Our corrupt incompetents in
Washington today are completely worthless. They serve their wealthy supporters
and themselves. The people have no one to speak for them.
WHEN THE OBVIOUS IS IGNORED
I offer you one, irrefutable fact: the solution to end
domestic terrorism is simple, easy, and most importantly, the right thing to
do.
The Second Amendment is the only issue preventing sensible
gun control in America. Let’s look at the facts. I begin by offering you the
most ambiguous and poorly written Amendment contained in the Bill of Rights.
Second Amendment: "A well regulated Militia, being
necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and
bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
First: “a well regulated Militia.” This was the only purpose
for the Amendment, and it was to be controlled with principles and rules. Farmers,
shopkeepers, bankers, blacksmiths, and other citizens would use their own
rifles to fight for their country’s right to exist.
The capitalization of the word “State,” refers to the
country as a whole, not to “states” which are individual provinces within our
country. This is important because when a Militia is assembled, the men who compose
that military organization are temporarily a part of the State. It does not contain
established rules for these individuals when they are not serving their nation.
There is no stipulation that certain types of weapons, like
those which exist today, can or cannot be regulated. The “right to bear arms”
neither forbids nor protects private citizens from owning weapons of mass destruction.
We have reached a place in our society where the safety of all Americans
precludes the controversial “rights” of the few. The majority must always be
protected from the few.
THE IRREFUTABLE TRUTH WHY AMERICA IS A “GUN CRAZY” COUNTRY
It is an undeniable fact that political lobbies are
unconstitutional and illegal. Their only purpose is to buy the votes of our
legislative branch, and protect the profits of the super-rich.
The NRA is a gun lobby. Its only purpose is to prevent any
laws, rules, or regulations which might decrease sales and therefore profits.
The NRA works for gun manufacturers and gun sellers, not for you, your family,
your friends, or your neighbors.
When a reported mass shooting, and the deaths of three or
more innocent men, women and children occurs, the NRA celebrates. Gun sales escalate
radically, and so do the profits of the gun lobby.
Every professional politician, Democrat or Republican, who
supports the NRA, receives huge contributions and other perks from the immoral
and unconstitutional lobby.
This is the only reason laws designed to control the sale of
weapons of mass destruction never advance to the Capitol floor.
Use your only weapon against greed and tyranny: VOTE. Let’s
make the rights of the majority the rule of law. We can end our government’s
policy of placing “profits before people.”
