INGERSOLL: Dear Trump, Patel, And Bessent: Arrest Them Faster!

Greetings, Dear Reader,

We’re going to keep today’s short.

Short weeks equal long days. I’ve never been much for gratuitous holidays, even as I consider myself a diehard supporter of Columbus Day.

Do we need so many? I’m busy.

Anyway, a lot of somebodies have been on one lately …

TRUMP INDICTS ‘AN IDEA’

The talking point was as predictable as it was tired and universal. As Trump announced a crackdown on Antifa, the networks went into overdrive.

“There’s no Antifa. It’s an entirely imaginary organization, there is not an Antifa” – Jimmy Kimmel, ABC Crybaby

“I don’t even know what Antifa is. There is no group.” – Chuck Todd, MSNBC

“It’s not even like far-right groups like the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers. Compared to far-right groups, Antifa-linked violence is rare and limited.” – Erin Burnett, CNN

“It isn’t an organization. It is in many ways a mythology.” – David Axelrod, CNN

“Things like Antifa are things that are thought up.” – Whoopi Goldberg, The View

It goes on. 

“Nobody’s a member of Antifa because it doesn’t exist” and “There’s no organization called Antifa” and “There is no Antifa organization.”

Well, it looks a whole lot like Kash Patel has officially indicted elements of a group that doesn’t exist, eh?

Read it and weep, fake news propagandists:

This indictment of an Antifa cell in Texas is an interesting read, and puts a stake through the heart of the idea that this is an “idea” and not an organization. In this attack, they shot a police officer in the neck who was responding to their assault on a DHS facility.

They had a veritable armory and had already conducted direct-action operations, including one in which a law enforcement officer was gravely wounded. How’s that for “an idea” that “doesn’t exist”?

What’s more, Scott Bessent, perhaps the most competent and aggressive Treasury Secretary in the last hundred years, has vowed to root out this “idea” and all its finances.

“I will tell you that Charlie’s death is like a domestic 9/11,” Bessent said. “We have started to compile lists, put together networks, and there’s a long record here.”

As I said weeks ago, the left and its domestic shock troops better prepare, because we’re coming for it all. Nobody’s safe. Not billionaires, not professors, not subversive bars that act as staging grounds. Your literally gay NGO masquerading as a public good that’s mass-producing shields and cudgels. We’re coming for it because nobody’s buying the line anymore.

Because the playbook at this point is obvious. First, it doesn’t exist. Then it does and actually it’s good. Next, we’ll be hearing that arrests of Antifa are bad because “it means anti-fascist!”

I don’t care. Your ruses don’t work anymore.

They did it with transing kids. They did it with gross sexual content in schools. They did it with crime. They told us illegals weren’t pouring over the border. They told us Biden was “sharp”!

They just don’t get it. People have their eyes open now, and what’s more, the big boys are in charge. We hold the sticks, folks, and we’re going to use them.

Shriek all you want that these things don’t exist. Try to reframe them as a public good. It’s no matter. 

We’re coming for you anyway.
