Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent acknowledged Wednesday that he threatened to “kick ass” during a heated confrontation last year, while firmly denying reports that he threatened to punch the now-acting Director of National Intelligence “in the face.”

The unusual exchange emerged during a Senate Finance Committee hearing, where Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) pressed Bessent about reports surrounding a confrontation between the two Trump administration officials during the summer of 2025.

According to Bessent, one key detail in the widely circulated account was inaccurate.

While he denied threatening.

While the left and most Democrats appeared dazed and confused by the resounding electoral victory of President Trump and the GOP just a few months ago, the ongoing L.A. riots seem to show that the radicals are finally getting their mojo, and money, back.

As I predicted. And despite Trump’s hope that these protests and riots won’t expand, things will get ugly.

As Trump prepares to celebrate the U.S. Army’s 250th birthday, as well as his own, and Flag Day, with a big military parade in D.C. on Saturday, June 14, the BLM, Defund the Police, illegal alien, trans kids supporting, antifa, neo-Marxists are planning to finally launch their nationwide insurrection on the same day with the aptly misnamed “No Kings Day of Defiance.”

Despite prior failed attempts to ignite a violent uprising against the constitutionally elected Trump and his team earlier this year, with firebombing attacks on Tesla dealerships, and other haphazard terror tactics, the recent escalation of deportations of illegal aliens may be the spark the far-left needed.

And of course, it began in Democrat-controlled Los Angeles, California.

As chaos reigned and Democrats leaders stood by passively, mobs terrorized America’s second largest city attacking federal officers conducting their lawful immigration enforcement duties.

Immigration officers were assaulted, police and other vehicles burned, and businesses looted. “If you have to watch out for a burnt car, that isn’t a peaceful protest, that isn’t America. That’s anarchy,” acting ICE Director Todd Lyons told Fox News.

Trump acted quickly and forcefully, federalizing the California National Guard and deploying a few thousand of them, along with U.S. Marines based in the state to help bring back order.

Stanley Schwartz, a professor at Cedarville University, compared what’s happened in Los Angeles to the upheaval after the death of George Floyd in 2020: organic, peaceful protests, quickly turning into organized, professional, violent ones. He noted, according to MyNBC15:

The conflict from the very beginning is citizens against law enforcement. So it becomes very difficult then to tamp down a protest as it’s becoming more violent.

As The Daily Caller reported:

[The] riots in Los Angeles against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) were ignited by a coordinated social media campaign initiated by well-funded left activist groups following the arrest of Service Employees International Union (SEIU) leader David Huerta.

The demonstration escalated into violent rioting, reminiscent of the Black Lives Matter protests in 2020, with reports of rioters receiving supplies such as face shields, gas masks, and earplugs to confront law enforcement.

Reinforcing that assessment, one Los Angeles press conference on Friday featured speakers from Unión del Barrio and Centro CSO. Unión del Barrio’s Ron Gochez appeared to incite violence when he stated the need to resist ICE “by any means necessary.”

“If we organize, we can kick their asses out of every single ghetto, every single barrio, anywhere where our people are,” Gochez said, to applause.

Who gives a damn about legality, when these people have their boot to our neck. We have … every single obligation, moral, historical, we have every reason to defend our people, to defend our community, to defend our families by whatever means necessary.

Meanwhile, Fox LA reported the arrest of a Hispanic man on charges of Conspiracy to Commit Civil Disorders for allegedly distributing face shields to “suspected rioters.”

U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli was quoted as saying:

We just saw people arrive in Downtown L.A. with truckloads of Bionic Face Shields that demonstrators quickly grabbed. It certainly seems like gear you’d wear if you’re preparing for conflict with police. Who is funding this?

This sounds like a violent insurrection to me.

And now, what may have been a weak showing on Saturday could turn into a massive nationwide protest. This is the standard insurgency play book: Create violence and chaos, provoke a strong response, claim the government is oppressive and militarized. Rinse, repeat everywhere you can.

Organizers expect Saturday’s event to be the country’s largest single-day anti-Trump protest since the start of the administration.

Millions of people are expected to rally against Trump and his policies at hundreds of events in more than 1,500 cities across all 50 states, during the “No Kings Day of Defiance” on June 14, all designed to coincide with the Army parade in Washington DC.

The “No Kings” theme is devised by the 50501 Movement — a national group supposedly formed of “everyday Americans who stand for democracy” and against what they call the “authoritarian actions of the Trump administration.”

But expect the radicals to come out in force. Two other rallies — an “Equity March” and “Refuse Fascism” protest — hope to draw 500 people each to downtown.

And the “pink p*ssy hats” will be out as well. The Women’s March is separately planning “Kick Out the Clowns” protests, receiving 13,000 RSVPs across 320 events as of Tuesday.

Following Trump’s threat of rioters in DC facing “heavy force,” a different group of lefty organizers cancelled a military parade protest on the National Mall that had hoped to attract up to 20,000 people.

Thankfully, the FBI is investigating the funding behind the violent anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles. Some lawmakers fear that foreign influence (aka Chinese) and ideological donations are fueling the violence, and that protestors and rioters are being paid.

“The FBI is investigating any and all monetary connections responsible for these riots,” FBI Director Kash Patel said.

Private researchers have already determined that two main organizations are heavily involved in these protests, reported MyNBC15.

The Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights (CHIRLA) receives nearly $34 million annually in government grants, including private donations from ActBlue, a Democrat fundraising platform. Also, the Central American Resource Center (CARECEN) receives federal and California state grants, along with private funding.

Just the News also reports that the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL), which has reported ties to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), was also involved with the L.A. riots.

But uber wealthy left-wing Americans are also behind this simmering insurrection.

As Forbes reported:

Walmart heiress Christy Walton, one of the richest women in America, has joined a small group of billionaires speaking out against President Donald Trump.

The 76-year-old Walton, who is worth an estimated $19.3 billion according to Forbes, paid to take out a full-page advertisement in The New York Times on Sunday calling on readers to “mobilize” on Saturday, June 14.

With powerful, varied groups, people and money like this behind the anti-Trump resistance, expect things to get very ugly very fast.

    Anybody want to pay for a NO COMMUNIST DAY? Follow the money on who is paying for these protests and protestors and arrest them and make their fortunes forfeit for inciting this insurrection. Probably foreign state actors involved.

    Here they go again, they want to ‘preserve’ democracy by destroying it BUT they conveniently forget that we are a Constitutional Representative Republic. Since the essence of ‘democracy’ is actually mob rule they ‘might’ want to reconsider what the result of their actions could result in – total anarchy.
    NONE of us wants a ‘king’ – we settled that when we tossed out King George and his minions. Bottom line is – are we going to live in a country based on the rule of law or mob rule?
