Masked MAGA Enforcers

By Lucius Gantt

President Donald Trump has deployed members of the United Armed Forces to American cities with Democratic voters who he believes voted against him in elections.

National Guardsmen armed with automatic rifles and handguns and masked Immigration and Customs Enforcers have fired weapons at citizens who are peacefully protesting ICE tactics of profiling, stopping, manhandling arresting, beating and shooting American citizens who protest the government actions such as the actions that killed a young mother in Minnesota and wounded others.

Well, ICE officers are wearing masks because they don't want to be identified. There are no more "Lone Rangers" in law enforcement like the masked man and Tonto in movies and TV shows.

I wrote long ago many of the masked ICE officers include white supremacists, seditionists and insurrectionists!

I know you may not like for me to write like this but my TGR columns are just one Black man's opinion but good opinions are developed with facts.

The idea that the military and ICE enforcers make up Trump's personal soldiers is crazy and I wish that soldiers paid with your tax dollars should refuse illegal acts like shooting and killing protestors.

Have you forgotten that Trump said he could shoot someone and not lose supporters or voters? Did you ignore the fact that Trump asked military officers if Black Lives Matter peaceful protestors could be shot so he could take a political photo op at a church he does even go to to worship?

Trump doesn't like being the focus of American protestors but he is willing to go to war with Iran to defend Iranian protestors.

I'm not scared but I do have worry. I'm wondering if Trump can be replaced as American President or will he ignore American law and the U.S. Constitution and seek to stay in office for life.

The people don't want that but the Democratic Party doesn't have a clue about how to stop Trump from doing any illegal thing he wants to do.

As usual, untrained, inexperienced Negroes will be hired to register voters in hope voter registration will stop the Trump government takeover. Don't believe that. In a recent election, Negro leaders and Negro organizations were paid significant dollars to register people, mostly students on college campuses.

At the end of the day, hundreds of thousands of newly registered voters didn't even go to the polls!

Political professionals are well aware it is not about who can register voters, who can deliver voters are the ones that can truly win elections.

Dealing with politics is not a place for political pretenders. The 2026 election and any other future election can't be won using 1956 campaign tactics.

The people are pretty much fed up with Republicans and Democrats. People are protesting bad government, high prices, illegal and wrongful military actions, threats to American allies, and unlawful arrests of protestors who just want government done right.

Continue to protest in America, in Africa, in Iran and everywhere else where people are being oppressed, exploited, and mistreated by wicked and evil elected officials.

The protestors and people who become truly united will never be defeated!
