New in PJ Media:
President Donald Trump’s legion of slavering enemies will be triggered: he has said that Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson should be in jail. This will ensure that CNN and MSNBC and the rest of the Democrat Party’s propagandists will be busy for the next few days with another round of “Trump is waging lawfare against his political enemies” features, which has to be the most tone-deaf and clumsy leftist talking point since the last one. And in this case, as in the arrest of former FBI top dog James Comey and Trump’s call for other prosecutions, the president has a case.
On Wednesday morning, Trump wrote: “Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers! Governor Pritzker also!” In response, the porcine Pritzker went into full-on martyr mode, declaring dramatically: “I will not back down. Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power. What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?”
Pritzker also taunted Trump, saying: “Come and get me,” but there is no evidence that the president is licensed to operate a forklift.
Johnson, meanwhile, went straight for the race card, claiming that “this is not the first time Trump has tried to have a Black man unjustly arrested. I’m not going anywhere.”
When was the first time Trump tried to have a black man unjustly arrested? Johnson doesn’t bother to inform us, secure in the knowledge that some of his rabid leftist followers will believe him no matter what he says, especially when it comes to false charges against Orange Man Bad. But Trump didn’t call for Johnson to be jailed because he is black any more than he called for Pritzker to be jailed because he is fat. Trump called for both to be jailed because they’re enabling the breaking of the law and obstructing its enforcement.
On Monday, Pritzker and Johnson filed suit to Trump from deploying National Guard troops in Chicago and its environs. After years of hearing about the murders in Chicago that were as common as illegal parking infractions, the claim that Trump was sending the Guard in “to use American soldiers to punish his political enemies” rings hollow. Trump is sending in the Guard to protect American citizens, about whom his political enemies stopped caring long ago.
White House deputy press secretary Abigail Jackson hit the nail on her head in her response to Pritzker’s and Johnson’s hysteria: “JB Pritzker and Brandon Johnson have blood on their hands. These failed leaders have stood idly by while innocent Americans fall victim to violent crime time and time again. Last weekend alone, 30 people were shot and five of them died. But instead of taking action to stop the crime, these Trump-Deranged buffoons would rather allow the violence to continue and attack the President for wanting to help make their city safe again.”
There is more. Read the rest here.

Actually, the President did, back in the day as CEO, operate forklifts on occasion – there is video of him doing that. Whether he actually has a license or not, or was just cos-playing back in the day, or whether that license, if he had it, is current, is another question altogether

Having local law enforcement by order of the governor of Illinois and the mayor of Chicago to refuse to corporate with federal law enforcement(ICE in enforcing immigration laws that has been in the federal law books for over 100 years and the federal government has this power going back to the forming of this country over 240 years ago to enforce immigration law)doing their duties in the city and state is a violation of federal law .They the good governor Pritzker . and the mayor Johnson are trying to set up a separate confederate state exempt from federal law that did not go too well in the 1860s.There are federal laws on drug sales and use, there are federal laws on banking ,trading of stocks ,federal laws on taxing alcohol and tobacco. Federal laws on the way state and city bonds are sold .Do governors, ,mayors ,local elected officials get to pick and choose what federals laws that have to follow and what laws local civil servants (local police state troopers ect.) could face being fired for following or enforcing or at least corporation with complying with federal law? DO Pritzker and Johnson think they are feudal lord and duke who are exempt in their Kingdom from following the federal law that a President who was elected to enforce that law by the power of the Constitution ?

I can remember when the “Sanctuary City” movement started with San Francisco in 1989.
I thought at the time it conflicted with the Constitutional Separation of Powers and the
Supremacy Clause. I was surprised the federal government, under Bush 1, did nothing about it.
Then I watched it grow and spread.
No president acknowledged the movements existence, let alone the problem. So now we have
citizens who think it’s normal for City, County and States to defy the Federal government.
It’s interesting to hear current Mayors and Governors say the same things about the Fed’s employing the State and Federal Guards that southern politicians said during the integration of schools in the South,
e.g. Little Rock High School and University of Alabama etc.
The Left has had free-reign for so long and are so abysmally ignorant of our Constitution that applying laws to them comes as a great shock.
“Sanctuary” laws are no more inline with the U.S. Constitution than the “Segregation” laws were.
