Opinion: Vang Mai Mon-Ki Who Disdains Pledge Of Allegiance Has No Place In Congress
By CA Post Editorial Board

There should be no place in Congress for those who won’t pledge allegiance to America.
That means there should be no place in Congress for Mai Mon-Ki Vang, who’s vying for California’s 7th Congressional District seat on the June 2 ballot.
The fringe-left member of the Sacramento City Council has long made a show of turning her back on the flag during the Pledge of Allegiance –– including on Veterans Day, The California Post reported.
That’s churlish. Immature. Divisive. And deeply disrespectful.
In February 2025, Vang wrote on Facebook: “As much as I love this country, I use that moment [during the Pledge] to ground myself — to center our communities and remind myself of the injustices and harm that continue to affect so many, both locally and across the globe, under this nation’s influence.”
Oh, give it a rest.
It’s hard to believe that “love” of country inspires not allegiance, but contempt for alleged “injustices and harm … locally and across the globe.”
Besides, reciting the Pledge, with hand over heart, does not signify that one agrees with everything the government does, will do, or has done.
It signals loyalty to the nation itself, respect for the land of opportunity, and care for the values — foremost, liberty — upon which this country was founded.
That’s churlish. Immature. Divisive. And deeply disrespectful.
In February 2025, Vang wrote on Facebook: “As much as I love this country, I use that moment [during the Pledge] to ground myself — to center our communities and remind myself of the injustices and harm that continue to affect so many, both locally and across the globe, under this nation’s influence.”
Of course: Those who shun patriotic rituals have freedom of speech.
They can pout through the Pledge all they like. But that doesn’t mean they belong in high public office, leading the rest of us.
And yes, dissent can indeed be patriotic. But the patriotic kind involves rational debate and discussion — and respect for institutions — not a stunt, performed repeatedly, that calls to mind a sulky 5-year-old.
Would Vang and others like her prefer no Pledge, no flag, no America as we know it?
Because America is, and has always been, at its core, an idea.
It’s an idea rooted in self-determination, in freedom from royal whims, in a government limited by enumerated powers in a brilliantly crafted Constitution that safeguards personal liberty.
Would Vang and others like her prefer no Pledge, no flag, no America as we know it?
On this, the 250th anniversary of the United States, Americans want to honor that heritage, not trample on it.
And on this Memorial Day weekend, meant to honor the many members of the US Armed Forces who gave their lives to preserve our unique brand of freedom, anti-American stunts rankle even more.
Sadly for Democrats and the nation, the elected left seems increasingly swayed by socialists with views antithetical to America’s founding values.
As a councilwoman, Vang has pushed persistently to shrink and defund Sacramento’s police force, claiming nonsensically that more law enforcement does not increase public safety.
Meanwhile, her platform for Congress reads like a far-left manifesto: She’d abolish (and prosecute) ICE; “defend gender-affirming care”; “stop the genocide in Palestine,” promote the Green New Deal; and oblige taxpayers to fund endless “free” health care, child care, college tuition and more.
Sigh.
We need pragmatic leadership in Washington.
We need leaders with back-to-basics common sense.
And we need elected officials who can do better than a mess of pipe dreams, radical agitation, and contempt for the nation.
Those who disdain America — those who can’t even stand respectfully for the Pledge — have no business trying to lead it.

Gunman Who Claimed He Was Jesus Christ Opened Fire On White House Checkpoint Neutered By Secret Service
By Joe Marino and Daniel Cody

Updated May 23, 2026, 6:30 p.m. PDT
A crazed gunman who believed he was Jesus Christ pulled out a revolver and opened fire outside the White House Saturday night, before he was quickly taken down by a barrage shots from the Secret Service, sources said.
Nasire Best, 21, fired at a checkpoint at about 6:10 p.m. after being seen pacing in a strange manner up and down 17th St. Northwest, sources told The Post. He only got off a few shots before he was shot and killed in a hail of bullets from federal officers.
At least one bystander was hit and seriously wounded in the fusillade, the sources said.
Nasir Best, 21, opened fire on a White House checkpoint on Saturday evening.
While a motive for the attack hasn’t been confirmed, sources said Best is a mentally troubled individual who was well-known to the Secret Service for repeatedly loitering around various entry posts and who has violated a previous court order to stay away from the White House.
“FBI is on the scene and supporting Secret Service responding to shots fired near White House grounds – we will update the public as we’re able,” FBI Director Kash Patel posted on X.
The sound of shots from the incident terrifed members of the press who were doing their normal reporting at the White House, including one ABC reporter who was seen diving for cover during a live stream.
“I was in the middle of taping on my iPhone for a social video from the White House North Lawn when we heard the shots,” said Selina Wang, a senior ABC White House correspondent.
“It sounded like dozens of gunshots. We were told to sprint to the press briefing room where we are holding now.”
Secret Service quickly put the White House on lockdown and told reporters to gather on the north lawn and to run into the press briefing room. After about half an hour, the lockdown was lifted. The shots rang out a little less than two hours after President Trump announced on Truth Social that he was in the Oval Office working on a peace deal with Iran.
Best, who was taken down by members of the Secret Service Uniformed Division, had previously been involuntarily committed on June 26, 2025, for obstructing vehicular traffic at 15th Street and E Street NW, before being arrested again on July 10, 2025, for Unlawful Entry.
A civilian who was near by was apparently hit in the fusillade, Fox News reported.
After the sound of numerous shots rang out, members of the press who were filming on the White House grounds were seen diving for cover and were told by Secret Service to gather on the north lawn and to run into the press briefing room.
In that incident, Best bypassed a restricted White House pedestrian control post by walking through an exit turnstile lane — and made crazed statements when D.C. police and Secret Service agents detained him.
“[Best] claimed he was Jesus Christ and that he wanted to get arrested,” court records of the incident said.
While it wasn’t known if the shooting has any political motive, leaders from both sides of the aisle voiced condemnation of political violence after the incident, which is only the latest gunfire in the proximity of President Trump in recent weeks.
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R–LA) expressed gratitude for the “brave Secret Service agents who took quick, decisive action to protect President Trump, and our prayers are with victims of tonight’s senseless shooting for a speedy recovery.”
Echoing Mike Johnson, Rep. Cory Mills (R–FL) said that “there is no place in America for political violence, and every leader should be condemning it unequivocally.”
Rep. Betty Column (D–MN) strongly condemned the shooting and pushed for the public to “unite behind a common belief that our differences should be resolved at the ballot box.”
Saturday’s incident marks the latest flashpoint in a volatile wave of domestic political violence.
The shots rang out about a month after a lone gunman opened fired a the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner, where Trump was in attendance. Another lone gunman tried to assassinate Trump, and even knicked him in his ear, in a shooting at a campaign rally in July 2024.

"Benny Johnson is so dumb he doesn't understand the child sacrifice is not a bit? I think he just pretends it is but knows better. Benny Johnson humiliates himself and sucks up to power constantly."

Barney Frank Delivers Stark Warning From Hospice About Libtards Swinging Too Far Left

Liberal icon, former Rep. Barney Frank, who has died of AIDS related congestive heart failure, spoke out from hospice to deliver a stark warning to Democrats for swinging too far to the left on social issues — and said it will cost them with voters.
The 86-year-old former congressman, who is famous for fighting to legalize same-sex marriage and pushing to regulate Wall Street after the 2008 financial meltdown, hopes his lefty bona fides will help his message resonate with the far left.
Jake Tapper interviewed Frank on CNN, with the former Dem rep speaking from hospice care.
“It’s precisely because I have been on the left that I have undertaken this,” Frank told CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday. “Many of us fought to get inequality on the Democratic agenda.”
“But the problem was, as we succeeded in bringing the mainstream of the left into a concern with inequality, we also enabled people who wanted to use that as a platform for a wide range of social and cultural changes, some of which the public isn’t ready for.”
Frank is set to release a scathing book rebuking the left flank of the Democratic Party later this year. His main message to lefties is to be more strategic about how far to push on social issues.
“We didn’t get to marriage until after these other things had been resolved,” Frank argued.
“And that’s what I’m suggesting that we do today. The analogy is males and female transsexuals playing sports that are for women.”
“I understand there’s a lot of anger about that,” he continued. “And I think, in the interest of the transgender community, as well as others, it would be better to go at that in a more granular way, and not simply announce that, if you don’t support it, you’re a homophobe."
During a recent interview with Politico, the architect of the Dodd-Frank banking regulations also cited the defund the police and open borders push as examples of lefties going too far.
“It’s one thing to advocate something knowing that you’re going beyond the current viewpoints, and another to make it a litmus test,” Frank told Politico.
He used Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner as an example of Dems moving too far too the left — after he became the presumptive nominee when Gov. Janet Mills dropped out.
“I think Platner actually shares with Trump this capacity toward making the most out of the anger that people feel,” the former congressman reflected.
“What I’m afraid of is that he won’t be able to translate that into enough votes.”
“But I am concerned that, among some in my party, there has been a flavor-of-the-month tendency, so that someone who is new and hasn’t been able to do much is somehow preferred over people who understand the importance of hard work to get controversial things adopted,” he went on.
Given Platner’s antics, including Reddit posts where he’s made controversial remarks about war and sexual assault and getting a tattoo resembling the “Totenkopf” emblem of the Nazi SS, some Democrats have concerns about his electability.
Frank predicted the “continued implosion of Donald Trump” will happen after his own death.
Despite his misgivings about the lefty base, Frank believes Democrats are well-positioned for victory in the midterms. He also believes that President Trump is crashing and burning in the political world.
“One of my regrets,” he told Politico, “is that I won’t see the continued implosion of Donald Trump.”
The former congressman believes that Trump has “temporarily changed” American politics — though he does believe things will return to normal.
“I was afraid beforehand,” he told “State of the Union.” “No, it turned out to show that he is an idiot savant. He was good at one thing and terrible at everything else.”
“So that gives me some hope, because he is going to show up with bad results. I say in the book early on that the fate of liberal democracy versus authoritarian populism will depend in part on how Donald Trump does, and if he does badly, that discredits the whole operation,” he added.
“I am convinced that he does not have an appeal.”
