It’s June, the time of year when traveling carnivals move from town to town to entertain the public, with dangerous rides and rigged games of chance, all designed to separate the customers, whom they call “marks,” from their hard earned money.  These carnivals typically are run by shady and unscrupulous people, “carnys,” who derive their income from exploiting the workers who rely on them, cheating, and bribery.

Given that pedigree for the typical carny, it should come as no surprise that the elected carnys of the Left have gotten into the carnival business too.  After all, they already support dangerous positions, and rig elections in order to separate taxpayers from their hard earned money, so why not?   The Democrat Party has become a traveling circus, featuring the same kinds of oddities one finds in the crudest of carnivals.  The elected carnys include the traditional bearded lady –The geek, who draws a crowd by biting the heads off chickens –

And an astonishing assortment of other freaks.

And recently, the Democrats’ traveling carnival of lies arrived here in New Jersey.  I speak, of course, of the nights of violent rioting that Democrats brought to Delaney Hall, a privately run detention facility in Newark, which currently houses illegal aliens arrested by ICE, who are awaiting deportation.

Members of Congress, including Geek Hakeem Jeffries, Senator Andy Kim, and our illustrious new Governor, Mikie Sherrill, turned up outside the facility to help rouse a crowd, composed of the usual suspects from No Kings rallies (deviant shut-ins with garishly dyed hair, and decrepit senior citizens trying to relive the 60’s), as well as an array of paid protestors, some coming from as far away as Portland, Oregon, who hail from the military wing of the Democrat Party, Antifa domestic terrorists.  Add to this the fact that New Jersey is one of those wayward States who’s leaders have declared it to be a “sanctuary State” for illegal aliens, and which, as a result, refuses to permit it’s law enforcement officers to cooperate with federal officers, and what possibly could go wrong?  As it turns out, a lot.

As an aside, let me touch on the notion of any State, County, or municipality declaring itself a “sanctuary” for illegals.  Legal sanctuary was a doctrine practiced  by many religions, in which an accused could enter a church and be immune from prosecution.  It was recognized in English Common Law from the 4th Century to the 17th Century.  Because the 17th Century ended in 1699, and our Declaration of Independence wasn’t made until 1776, the concept of legal sanctuary has no place in U.S. law.  And even if it did, the hijacking of a religious doctrine by an entity which devoutly opposes religion is the height of hypocrisy.  In other words, a typical move by the Democrat Party.

Moreover, it’s time that legal action was taken on a case or cases which eventually can be ruled on by the U.S. Supreme Court, which once and for all will declare Sanctuary States, cities, or whatever, unconstitutional.  Article I, section 8 of the Constitution makes immigration enforcement the sole responsibility of the federal government.  In 2012, the Supreme Court reaffirmed that States cannot intrude on the federal government’s ability to enforce immigration law as it sees fit.  So-called Sanctuary States represent such an intrusion.  And as municipalities are merely the creatures of the various States, cities have no more right to impede federal law enforcement than do their parent States.  Article VI of the Constitution states that it and all federal laws supercede those of the States.  End of sermon.

Back to the Delaney Hall riots.  All good riots stem from a basic lie.  The 1967 Newark riots were sparked by the false story that police had killed a black cab driver.  The Delaney Hall riots stemmed from false reports of unhealthy conditions inside the facility, including deficient and tainted food.  These false reports prompted State and City health agencies to demand entry for inspection.  These agencies have no jurisdiction over the facility.  A bit of history is in order.

Delaney Hall is a privately run detention facility, owned by the GEO Group.  In February 2025, the facility was leased for 15 years by ICE, to house illegal aliens taken into ICE custody.  You may recall that, shortly after it opened, in May 2025, the facility was the scene of a similar incident, in which Democrat Congress people, including big-assed House Member LaMonica McIver, tried to storm the facility.  McIver assaulted law enforcement and later was indicted.

The Delaney Hall facility, owned and operated by the same company, was used by Il Duce Obama to house illegal aliens subject to deportation, starting in 2011.  No Democrat ever complained about the facility or conditions therein, until the president was named Donald Trump.  Governor Sherrill and her ilk, have denounced conditions in Delaney Hall, calling it America’s CECOT, the forbidding illegal alien prison in El Salvador.  It’s anything but that.

Here’s a little known, and little reported fact.  Before the 2025 ICE lease of Delaney Hall, the facility was under contract to the New Jersey Department of Corrections, which used Delaney Hall as a Halfway House and rehabilitation facility for State prisoners nearing release from prison.  I know this because I represented a number of these prisoners.  And in my experience, the State prisoners, United States citizens transferred there by the New Jersey government, were happy to go to Delaney Hall, because conditions there were far better than those they experienced in New Jersey prisons.

In late May, NJ politicians tried the same tactics they used during the McIver incident.  They showed up unannounced and demanded entry.  Now, all a Member of Congress, or a Governor, has to do is call ahead and schedule a visit, and they will be admitted.  They didn’t, so they weren’t.  The whole spectacle was merely for show; a pretext to bring in the Antifa terrorist bastards to start the riot.  And they did.

(An investigation is underway to determine who paid for and is supplying expensive gas masks and body armor to the rioters.  Under NJ law, the wearing of body armor while committing assault is a crime punishable by 5 years in prison.  Assaulting a federal officer is a far more serious federal offense).

The riots prevented family members from visiting the detainees.  The politicians blamed ICE.  ICE officers were assaulted, one was viciously bitten.  Things got so bad that even Governor Sherrill was forced to act.  You’d think that a graduate of the Naval Academy, and former Naval officer, would understand the need to enforce laws and protect the safety of law enforcement officers, but it took days of rioting before she finally, on the night of May 30, sent in a State Police unit, which quickly restored order, arresting more than 20 rioters in the process.

Then, having done the right thing, the Governor alibied to mollify the leftist nuts in her Party, claiming that she took action only to protect the rights of the detainees.  She later came to the revelation that most of the rioters were from outside New Jersey.  No shit Sherrill!  If you had permitted the State and local police to intervene sooner, there would have been no riots, and no interruption of visitations.  Idiot Newark Mayor Baraka also got in the act.  He’s blasting the State Police intervention, and he’s suing GEO, claiming his Public Safety Director should have been permitted to participate.  Hey Asshole, you’re the one who ordered City officers not to be involved in ICE operations.

At its heart, the Delaney Hall riots are based on false reports of food quality and living conditions in the facility, which was inspected by and passed federal inspections.  Reports of a hunger strike are lies.  Some detainees refused the meals provided, but subsisted on snacks such as honey buns and candy bars obtained from the on site commissary.  Indeed, the food served to these filthy, criminal illegal aliens rivals that provided by many schools to U.S. citizen students.

As this is written, the riots have subsided and relative calm has returned to the area around Delaney Hall.  The State has established a “Free Speech Zone” to accommodate any leftover blue haired protestors, so they can chant “Grab your guns and kill yourself,” and “Every cop, every fed, shoot yourself in the head,” to their heart’s content.  Whenever the politicians who are supposed to be in charge of protecting public safety actually grow some balls and permit the police to act, the cowardly bastards of Antifa tend to fade away, escaping back into their parents’ basements, until the carnival moves on to some new town, in search of new marks to be fleeced.

By the way, if anyone takes exception to the opinions expressed herein, I don’t know what you can do about it.  This is my Free Speech Zone.
