When radical actions go unanswered, they don’t stop. They escalate.

Failing to enforce the law teaches extremists exactly how far they can go.

BRIEFING

Jett here. What happened at that Minnesota church wasn’t just an attack or an outrage; it was a test. Let’s get into it.

The question underneath this latest attack on the Cities Church in Minneapolis by left-wing anti-ICE radicals is simple: how far can they go, and who is actually going to stop them? The left has been running this play for years. Start with something that sounds justified, like a "protest." Wrap it up in the First Amendment. Slap the word “journalism” on it, then wait to see if anyone on the right has the stomach to respond with real consequences instead of tough statements, strongly worded letters, and a bunch of dramatic hand-wringing.

That’s why Mike Cernovich’s latest post hit a nerve. He believes that next up will be church bombings. And can you blame him? This fear reflects a very clear pattern people have already watched unfold when it comes to left-wing terror. When coordinated intimidation goes unanswered, it becomes normalized. And when the left manages to "normalize," the next logical move is escalation. When sacred spaces are violated without consequences, the message is this: permission.

Don Lemon and the activists who stormed that church were testing whether they could breach a sanctuary, terrify worshipers, and then hide behind press credentials and free-speech slogans. And just as importantly, they were testing whether the right would flinch, look away, or just hope the moment passes and the news cycle changes.

This is where enforcement matters. Federal law exists for a reason. The FACE Act. Civil rights statutes. Conspiracy and interstate coordination provisions. All of these are deterrents, and if they’re not used when lines are clearly crossed, the lesson learned is obvious: Push harder next time and bombs away.

And that's where Mike's post comes into play.

There’ll be bombing churches next.

Here's what people online are saying about it:

SOURCE

"Been reading Days of Rage for about a week. Most have no idea, I certainly didn't, how far the left has taken this stuff in the recent past."

"Indeed they will. This is spiritual."

"Yes, this was like when a scammer does a “test charge” on a credit card. If it works, the next one will be serious…"

"We don’t need a lesson in civics and a pat on the head. We need the U.S. Army."

"Same precursors as 1930’s Spain."

"We're three weeks out from that, tops."

"The only reason they haven’t yet like the rest of Europe and Canada is that the election margins are still uncomfortably close for them to be that bold."

"Weather Underground 2.0"

After all, going after Christianity and churches is one of the left's go-to moves.

Although the backlash to the overturning of Roe v. Wade appears to have subsided, vandals, arsonists, and worse targeted hundreds of churches in 2024, according to a new report.

Travis Weber, vice president for policy and government affairs at the Family Research Council, which released the report Monday, said most Americans would be surprised to hear that 383 churches suffered 415 attacks in 2024.

“We have a tendency in the West and in the United States to think of ourselves as safe and freedom-loving, tolerant, and protective of religious freedom, including religious freedom to practice Christianity,” he told The Daily Signal in an interview Friday. “So, I think the fact that we have hundreds of incidents—specifically, 415—in the year 2024 is very revealing.”

DEBRIEFING

What we’re watching with this entire anti-ICE campaign is incremental. One escalation layered on top of another, each one testing how much intimidation can be normalized before anyone draws a hard line.

Nobody's done much of anything thus far.

First it was protests, then confrontations, then blocking cars, then mowing down ICE agents. Now it’s churches. Sacred spaces where people go to pray, bring their kids, and step out of the noise of daily life. Where are Americans supposed to feel safe now?

This kind of religious attack used to be associated with ISIS and the Taliban. Now Dems are picking up the torch. Sure, it's just intimidation and harassment right now, but history shows it rarely stays there if it’s ignored or brushed off with excuses.

Sadly, in this day and age with such unhinged violence from the left, it's totally reasonable to say that unchecked escalation will invite risk.

NOW YOU KNOW

If worshipers can’t gather without worrying about extremists bursting through the doors, something fundamental has already been lost.
