"In addition to finalizing the southwestern land border wall, the next Administration should take a creative and aggressive approach to tackling these dangerous criminal organizations at the border. This could include use of active-duty military personnel and National Guardsmen to assist in arrest operations along the border"something that has not yet been done."

More: For readers able to handle uncomfortable racial truths: Donald Trump chose Hegseth to take this country back 50 years. He's not qualified to be defense secretary in any other way, and has already proven so. Y'all, the dude accidentally shared real-time information about an impending U.S. bombing run and was not relieved of duty " because his job isn't about making us safer.

Hegseth has been paying dividends for Trump, beginning with his recommittal to honoring white supremacist traitor Confederate general Braxton Bragg's name in February by taking Fort Liberty's name back to Fort Bragg while saying it was for Army Pfc. Roland L. Bragg, a soldier who fought in the Battle of the Bulge.

Under Hegseth, the armed services also refused to recruit from a program that identifies and cultivates highly-coveted Black engineers. He banned nearly 400 books of mostly African-American authors, including one by me, and even removed Department of Defense web pages on the legendary Jackie Robinson and Native American World War II heroes before being forced to reverse course.

Now he's renaming Naval ships, starting with Harvey Milk, a gay rights activist and former Navy lieutenant, whose name is emblazoned on an oiler ship. An unnamed defense official told Military.com that Hegseth purposefully made the announcement during Pride Month.

In a statement, the Pentagon said Hegseth is "committed to ensuring that the names attached to all DOD installations and assets are reflective of the Commander-in-Chief's priorities, our nation's history, and the warrior ethos" and added that "any potential renaming(s) will be announced after internal reviews are complete."

He better change his tune, he's already broke and those lumpy pillows don't sell like they used to.

J6 just let them know they could actually get away with it. They aren't done.

More: "Let me be clear: There is no invasion. There is no rebellion. The President is trying to manufacture chaos and crisis on the ground for his own political ends," Bonta said in a statement released about the lawsuit. "Federalizing the California National Guard is an abuse of the President's authority under the law " and not one we take lightly."

For a president to invoke this provision of the Armed Services Code, one of three conditions must be met. There must be an "Actual or threatened foreign invasion," an "Actual or threatened rebellion against the authority of the Government of the United States,'" or "the President is unable with the regular forces to execute the laws of the United States."

In addition, the law in question requires that "[o]rders" to National Guard members when this law is invoked "shall be issued through the governors of the States." Trump has not coordinated with or communicated any such orders to the governor's office at all, Newsom, a Democrat, said on Sunday.

"There's a protocol. There's a process. He didn't care about that," Newsom said on MSNBC.

"I voted for lawless, anonymous, masked, and unchecked police" is one ---- of a jump from "eggs cost too much." - Rick Wilson

This comment section is all the proof you'll ever need to understand that MAGAts do not and have never actually cared about state's rights.

More: The United States is both a nation and a coalition of 50 states. This is something that's easy to forget when looking at the USA from overseas, but it is fundamental: city and state governments matter, and so do the choices they make. States' rights " the freedom of each State to make its own choices, except where the Constitution says something is a federal matter " are usually a fundamental rallying call for Republicans. And those states' rights usually mean that the federal government doesn't send troops into a state unless they have been requested.

And yet Trump has ordered at least 2,000 National Guardsmen into the California city after three days of protests against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials. ICE had deployed tear gas and non-lethal munitions against the protests, but in a statement late on Saturday evening, the Los Angeles Police Department issued a statement confirming the protests "remained peaceful" and "concluded without incident". While some turbulence on the streets escalated in the evening, LA's police also stressed they were in a "heightened readiness posture" and "ready to ensure the continued safety of communities".

LA's police, in short, are saying the protests are largely peaceful and they are able to handle them.

...

But the blazing hypocrisy of Trump and his top officials should stand out, too. One of Trump's first actions on regaining the presidency in January was pardoning thousands of insurrectionists who participated in a violent invasion of Congress, including those who assaulted police. Now, mere months later, Trump claims to be so outraged by peaceful protests, which are protected by the First Amendment of the US Constitution, that he is deploying troops against them.

This risks a full-scale collapse of the USA's already crumbling political norms. Trump has pardoned his own supporters for violent insurrection, even as he deploys armed soldiers against his political opponents. This is the behaviour of dictators, not democratic leaders. It is a sign of a society reaching its breaking point.

It is hoped that cooler heads prevail and manage to pull this particular crisis back from the brink. The people who actually make up the National Guard are not fanatics: they signed up to help their nation during crises, not to be a private army for a dictatorial president. California's government and senior law enforcement officials will be trying to find ways to deploy troops that don't risk escalating the situation. As always happens when Donald Trump is president, people will be working quietly to try to save America from the man leading it.

...

The citizens of Los Angeles were protesting against Trump's unlawful use of the federal agency ICE to deport their friends and neighbours. For that, they are being called rebels against the state and facing its military force. America surely cannot withstand three and a half more years of this.

We're very likely about to see the President use the military to attack American citizens in an American city.

Our country will not survive 3 and a half more years of this.

Well I hope the migrants get out of there safely at least.

Everyone already knew he was in them.

Here's an article from a year and a half ago.

This you?

'Big Balls' Is Officially a Full-Time Government Employee

At least until the first random drug test that is.

Biodegradable plastic is a misnomer, it just breaks down into microplastic particles and we all know those are a huge problem already.

They hedge in this article by saying "...breaks down into its original components when exposed to salt. Those components can then be further processed by naturally occurring bacteria..." but notice they don't mention which bacteria or how common it is.

Works great in a lab I'm sure but without gathering all this stuff up and intentionally feeding it to vats of bacteria it's just more microplastic junk in the soil and oceans.

More: The White House appointed Fugate, a former Trump campaign worker who interned at the hard-right Heritage Foundation, to a Homeland Security role that was expanded to include the Center for Prevention Programs and Partnerships. Known as CP3, the office has led nationwide efforts to prevent hate-fueled attacks, school shootings and other forms of targeted violence.

Fugate's appointment is the latest shock for an office that has been decimated since President Donald Trump returned to the White House and began remaking national security to give it a laser focus on immigration.

Since boaz is so furious about the Chinese owning property in Arizona he has to be outraged by their blatant bribery of a sitting US president, right?

This happened in January.

#5,

That sounds good on paper but there will be a necessary period of de-trumpification once we rid ourselves of him.

I'm as anti-DOGE as anyone with a working brain but weed isn't drugs. Even that dirt weed they left behind.

More: The numbers run counter to President Donald Trump's messaging that his economic policies, including tariffs, will reduce U.S. trade imbalances. The politically inconvenient data prompted administration officials to block publication of the written analysis normally attached to the report because they disliked what it said about the deficit.

Republican christo-fascists want murders like this to be legal. He was just putting his uppity divorce seeking wife in her rightful place after all.

Not around here they didn't!

The ones around here never read the articles that get posted so they likely have no idea this is even happening.

More: "People are so quick to suggest that I flipped on Trump...No, no, no...I didn't flip on Trump. TRUMP FLIPPED ON US. I'm just not willing to continue living in a LIE, and I will tell you the unfortunate TRUTH about it," The Patriot Voice wrote on X to his 158,000 followers.

The Hodgetwins, popular conservatives and Trump supporters, have more than 3.3 million followers on X. In response to The New York Times report, they wrote on May 30, "Hope this ain't true y'all."

Another post that same day reads: "Don't know if this is true but I did not vote for this."

Nick Fuentes, a far-right Trump supporter described as an "America First" white nationalist, called the association between the Trump administration and Palantir "the ultimate betrayal of his own people."

"Feeding every 'MAGA extremist' into an AI database controlled by a CIA/Mossad cutout," Fuentes said on X, where he has roughly 561,000 followers. "Seriously, if Palantir isn't the deep state, then what is?"

In a video recorded by Fuentes, who also has a Rumble channel viewed over 31 million times, he said the following: "They are tracking everybody that criticized Israel, everybody that interacts with somebody that's criticizing Israel, and whether you're on a visa or not, whether you're a citizen or not, whether you're brown or not, Christian or Muslim, they're putting you in the Palantir database. They're putting you on the enemies list. If you don't see a problem with that..."

"I'm beginning to think it started when DJT walked down that escalator, before 2016," wrote an X user with the moniker "Redneck Common Sense."

X user Jack Maxey wondered: "Was MAGA a giant psyop?"

X user @D10Cat wrote: "Is Trump the same man that he was in 2016? Or did I just not see it back then?"

"The cope is unreal," wrote Ashton Nichols on X. "I voted for Trump but this is just unacceptable."

All those idiots in the deep south that voted for this have earned what's coming for them this hurricane season.
