You may have noticed the resurgence of a certain kind of folk music recently.  Whenever President Trump takes an action that lefties don’t like, there will inevitably be singing, usually off-key and cringe-inducing.

The latest example came last week when Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the notorious ‘Maryland Man,’ reported to immigration authorities in Baltimore.  Garcia, of course, is the Salvadoran who became a hero to far-left politicians and activists, despite being an alleged wife-beater, human smuggler, and all-around bad guy.

The singers in this case were members of the ‘Rapid Response Choir,’ a Maryland group claiming to stand for ‘truth, justice, and democracy.’  One thing it doesn’t seem to stand for is diversity, at least of the age and race variety.  The choir is whiter than a hockey team, older than CNN’s audience, more feminine than a nail salon.  The RRC’s web page declares that it is open to everyone and ‘no prior singing experience is required.’  That last part is obvious to anyone who has heard them.  In this case, the choir’s set included a rendition of ‘This Little Light of Mine’ that included these inventive lyrics: ‘Kilmar is our neighbor, you can’t have him, Trump.’  Move over, Cole Porter and Bob Dylan

Meanwhile, back when Elon Musk was public enemy number two, a band of Democrats got together to mangle the folk song ‘Which Side Are You On?’   The elderly singers crooned this about Donald Trump:  ‘He wants us all to fail … but we want him in jail.’  It’s worth mentioning that the song was made famous by Pete Seeger, a dyed-in-the-red-wool communist.

Another embarrassing musical moment came in the sanctuary city of Boston, where Mayor Michelle Wu hired a mariachi band to protest enforcement of immigration laws.  On the plus side, at least the band members were a little younger and a lot less pale.  Democratic lawmakers also reacted to Rep. Al Green’s censure by belting out ‘We Shall Overcome’ in the well of the House.

Thus far, these musical passages have elicited more ridicule than results; they remind one of a famous line from Macbeth: ‘Sound and fury, signifying nothing.’  As for Kilmar Abrego Garcia, his fate will inevitably be summed up in the words of a song written by John Denver and popularized by the folk group Peter, Paul and Mary: 

‘I’m leavin’ on a jet plane, don’t know when I’ll be back again.’
