Enough is enough — hardworking Americans are watching Democrat-run cities crumble while politicians play politics with our safety. On Newsmax’s American Agenda this week, Kim Klacik, Charles Marino and retired Lt. Col. Berney Flowers made the only sensible argument: taxpayers deserve security, and that means using every tool necessary — including more National Guard deployments — to restore order and protect neighborhoods.
Kim Klacik has built a reputation as a relentless voice for law-abiding citizens and was blunt on the air: when local leaders refuse to enforce the law, the federal and state governments must step in to defend people and property. Her rise from local activism to national commentator has made her a clear messenger on crime and public safety, and conservatives should heed her call rather than let left-wing mayors tie their hands.
Lt. Col. Berney Flowers joined the discussion from a veteran’s perspective, warning that civilized society cannot survive if criminals are allowed to dictate terms on our streets. Flowers’ commentary on Newsmax underscores a simple truth: experienced leaders know when to deploy disciplined forces like the National Guard to back up overmatched local police and to secure critical infrastructure.
This isn’t abstract. When ICE raids and ensuing protests spiraled into unrest, national and local leaders were forced into last-minute deployments to protect residents, demonstrating the practical need for a credible deterrent on standby. The spectacle of mayors and governors suing each other while neighborhoods burn is a disgrace; the priority must be protecting law-abiding taxpayers, not scoring political points.
Democrat-run cities have embraced policies that invite lawlessness through soft-on-crime approaches and sanctuary politics, and then cry foul when consequences arrive. It’s time for common-sense federal support — including lawful, temporary National Guard deployments — until local leadership decides to actually do its job and enforce the law. Conservatives who love America’s neighborhoods must demand no less from their elected officials.
Patriots shouldn’t be shy about telling the truth: safe streets are not optional and security is not a partisan luxury — it is the foundation of a free society and a functioning economy. If Democrats refuse to prioritize public safety, voters should remember who stood with them on this issue and who left them exposed at election time. No judge, no lawsuit, no virtue-signaling press release should be allowed to trump the basic right of Americans to live without fear.
Call your representatives, show up at town halls, and demand concrete plans — not slogans. The National Guard has a role to play when cities fail to protect their citizens; sending it is not an admission of defeat but a commitment to restoring order so communities can thrive again.
