Something smells like a dead rat in the state of New Jersey.
Antifa is targeting the state for militarized mayhem in Newark, at a private criminal detention center called Delaney Hall, and the state’s two most powerful Democrats, Gov. Mikie Sherrill, and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, have bowed and acted as the public relations team for the sleazy domestic terrorist group. They’re allowing this:

And rather than condemn and arrest the antifa rioters, they’re siding with them.
Get a load, first, of weakling Gov. Mikie Sherrill:
Gov. Mikie Sherrill says ICE agents are “inciting” the situation at Delaney Hall. Really? The people charging officers aren’t ICE agents. The people carrying bricks, sticks and logs aren’t ICE agents. The people blocking police vehicles aren’t ICE agents. pic.twitter.com/IafPuYNqx8

I will not give ICE the pretext to expand operations in our state.
For that reason, New Jersey law enforcement is today establishing a peaceful, protected, protest zone in the area outside Delaney Hall.

My top priority is keeping New Jerseyans and our communities safe – and an increased ICE surge in the area outside of Delaney Hall is a threat to public safety. We know that lives would be at risk were that to happen. And I will not accept that risk.
That is why last night, the…

ICE has denied any such cave-in, and only suspended visits based on terrorist thugs rioting outside their door. They re-allowed visits when the thugs were stomped down by lawmen.
Then there’s House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries:

All of these acts by the two of them, from talking points repeated, to submission to the demands of domestic terrorists, to blame delivered to President Trump for antifa’s depredations — amount to coddling of antifa and its agenda. They should be condemning these out-of-state antifa thugs for trashing their state, but instead, they lick their boots and cast blame on President Trump for getting criminals out of their states.
There was even evidence of state collusion with the rioters, same as there had been in Portland, Oregon, and Minneapolis, Minnesota:
This is how my 911 call went yesterday, it was INSANE:
Dispatch: “911 what is your emergency?”
Me: “I need an officer to take a report. I was attacked and robbed of at least $1,500 worth of property at Delaney Hall.”
Dispatch: “sir who robbed you?”
Me: “the masked chaos…

Yet antifa is clearly conducting its most advanced militarized insurgency, which ought to concern them, yet it doesn’t.
Here’s what one Signal message uncovered.
I messaged a group admin asking how my family in NJ could help the Delaney Hall protesters. Within minutes she sent me a supply list and a Venmo donation link.
The supply list wasn’t water bottles. It was P100 respirators (tear gas… https://t.co/nVKg2EV6B1 pic.twitter.com/C770dDc5J8

A few things I observed today while going toe-to-toe with Antifa at Delaney Hall:
1. 99% of license plates that parked and walked in were from out of state vehicles
2. Woman with clipboard acting as the “HR Department”
3. Antifa people literally foam at the mouth when…

It’s undoubtedly a big-dollar operation, with NGOs and nonprofits funding the mayhem, which they ought to be wise to. And they probably are.
But the rioting itself was not about an ICE detention center, it was about destroying Newark’s quality of life:

Why indeed should they not be concerned that this is happening?
The short answer, of course, is that they benefit.
Midterms are approaching, and here’s one potential reason:

They want ICE to shoot some human being so that they can benefit from it.
The New York Post editorializes that this is bad for Democrats and they ought to be concerned, but I suspect they don’t see it as bad for them. They see it as bad for President Trump, whom they keep getting away with blaming for the antifa mayhem they enable.
Every official who tolerated mayhem in Minnesota and Oregon, after all, is still in power.
Coddling and appeasement work very well for Democrats in these circumstances. The foundation cash for rioters continues to roll in with every successful riot, the city gets trashed, but nobody really cares, the illegals get to stay, drawing money for NGOs, nd Trump is the one who gets blamed as a horrified country looks on.
There’s even a potential ‘Spain’ dynamic that voters will vote for Democrats as mayhem threatens on a bad calculation that Democrats will be able to make it stop.
The late historian Paul Johnson has written that terrorists’ endgame is power, and the more violent and outrageous acts they commit, the more power they amass. With Democrats like these as their handmaids in New Jersey, you can bet that the foot soldiers of antifa are taking that to the bank.
