Won't make the MSM. Does not fit their narrative. "Then-President Donald Trump gave clear instructions to Pentagon brass days before the Jan. 6 riots to "do whatever it takes" to keep the U.S. Capitol safe, including deploying National Guard or active-duty troops, but top officials did not comply because of political concerns, according to transcripts of bombshell interviews conducted by the Defense Department's chief watchdog that shine new light on government disfunction ahead of the historic tragedy." "Milley confirmed a second time during the interviews that Trump was clear in his wishes. "It was just what I just described, which was, ‘Hey, I don't care if you use Guard, or soldiers, active-duty soldiers, do whatever you have to do. Just make sure it's safe," the general told the IG. The transcripts of Milley's April 8, 2021, and April 16, 2021, interviews confirm reporting by Just the News two years ago that Trump wanted troops to keep the capital city safe. But other transcripts gathered by Loudermilk during his subcommittee's ongoing probe of Jan. 6 security failures show civilian leadership at the Pentagon admittedly openly they would not comply with Trump's wishes, with some saying they did not like the optics of armed soldiers or Guardsmen roaming the Capitol with weapons during what was supposed to be a peaceful transition of power. "There was absolutely — there is absolutely no way I was putting U.S. military forces at the Capitol, period," Miller told the inspector general during his March 2021 interview." "Miller admitted there was a political calculus to his decision not to deploy troops near or at the Capitol ahead of time for preventative security." "The transcripts also provide some hints that top Pentagon officials personally disliked the 45th president."

AND… 1. I'd like to get the testimony from the Capitol Architect who ordered security barriers removed over the objection of staff. 2. I'd like to get testimony from Mayor Bowser about her letter of rejection of NG support prior to Jan 6. 3. I'd like to get CHPD Chief of Police Sund back on testimony about how his requests for NG were denied by the House Sgt At Arms both before and during Jan 6. 4. I'd like the testimony of the House Sgt At Arms as to why he rejected NG support, but we'll need a Ouija Board since the dude had a sudden case of death before he could testify. 5. I wanna see ALL the emails and communications between the Mayor of DC and the House and Senate re: security prior to Jan 6. 6. I wanna see all the communications bwteeen the House and Senate and the Capitol Architect to determine who ordered security barriers removed. 7. I want full disclosure on how many embedded LEO and Federal agents were embedded in the Jan 8 crowd, and why one side of the building had a siege, while the other side had police escorted building walk-throughs! Like Shaman-dude who we see on camera being walked through the building by security. 8. I wanna know how FOUR protesters died that day at the hands of Capitol Police and what corrective measures or punishments were given out, what training short falls were discovered and how is that being corrected? 9. And one more thing -- I'd like to see an investigation into the Insurrection on May 30, 2020, where a large mob of violent Antifa/BLM rioters tried to storm White House grounds, forcing the president to seek shelter in the White House bunker -- the rioters burned an historic church, set fires, including torching a number of cars, and in the violence over 140 Park Police, Federal Officers and Secret Service were injured. As far as I know this has been largely ignored, few if any charges filed. *Who organized this?

Does appear the ex-president has been proven correct again. "Tens of thousands of illegal immigrants with sex offenses and homicide convictions are loose on the streets, according to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) data provided to lawmakers this week." "The data says that, among those not in detention, there are 425,431 convicted criminals and 222,141 with pending criminal charges. Those include 62,231 convicted of assault, 14,301 convicted of burglary, 56,533 with drug convictions and 13,099 convicted of homicide. An additional 2,521 have kidnapping convictions and 15,811 have sexual assault convictions. There are an additional 1,845 with pending homicide charges, 42,915 with assault charges, 3,266 with burglary charges and 4,250 with assault charges." "As of July 21, 2024, there were 662,566 noncitizens with criminal histories on ICE's national docket—13,099 criminally convicted MURDERS!" Gonzales said in a statement. "Americans deserve to be SAFE in our own communities." But when you get down to the bottom line, they are all criminals. They crossed our border illegally!

With thousands of US deaths, plus rapes, murders, assaults, etc., etc. The US leadership from the top down in many, many cases has committed acts that were un-Constitutional. Openly breaking many laws and suffering no punitive actions for these criminal acts. And frankly it appears all these US elected and appointed Gov't officials. Will get away with all their illegal heinous actions, crime against the people of the US. At any other time in past US history this could be considered treason … Plus, these criminals in the WH/DC seem to not understand or care about all the blood that is on their hands.

Yes Legion, as we suspected, hardly mentioned on the MSM. But still there are those who believe they receive all the news. 😔 ""NBC Nightly News" was the only prime time network news program on Friday night to report on bombshell new Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) data revealing that over 400,000 illegals immigrants convicted of crimes are currently free in the United States. Both ABC's "World News Tonight," and the "CBS Evening News" failed to mention any of the findings that ICE presented in a letter to Congress this week that was reported by a variety of other outlets on Friday. They simply covered Vice President Kamala Harris' trip to Arizona's border with Mexico and touted her policy proposals for immigration. Only NBC News' evening newscast mentioned the letter, though it didn't cover the entire scope of the findings – only reporting that "more than 13,000 migrants previously convicted of homicide are currently free inside the U.S."" Can't jeopardize the election by putting facts out there. |

They are now stridently telling you what to think, how to vote, as if you were in the 6th grade. . That's fine if you want Fox opinions. But they are not part of the news media any more. As bad as the others may be, they are definitely working to resume their role as state news. As for immigration, saying it's better is relative. It's not better enough. Even if it has slowed down, there is no real info on where the millions who snuck in have gone or what they are up to. Both parties have failed us on this for years, avoiding long term answers, using the whole steaming mess as a political cudgel.

And includes 400,000 near the time Trump's term ended. Not that any one would believe it. And not that it @#$& matters. Where is a reality-based thought on the nuts and bolts of deportation? How do we get Congress to actually work on this? How will we find these people? Many are already in jail here, also on our dime. Pin it on Harris or every Congress for 40 years. Blame is fine.

Cut off federal contracts and dollars. Tell sanctuary cities to turn them in within 30 days. After that, when caught the city loses government tax money and that money will be used instead to send them back. Same for colleges. First off shut down the borders.

Sanctuary cities will try to be outlawed by the WH/GOP, etc. While on the other end those cities will be citadels for the woke progressive leftist, libs, etc. Pushing the narrative to not be so inhuman, etc. to other humans. Sounds good, but as we see the reality logistically plus national security considerations make this argument worthless … Look to the elites when you want to know why Congress has never really tried to fix this. I have believed this for a long time. To actually shut down the border and start mass deportations many big businesses that are paying them bottom dollar. Even some illegal alien children are reported to be working in factories, etc. for the cheap. Not having a very good life. Closing the boarder would affect some bottom lines. Plus the horrendous sex trafficking by the gangs, cartels, etc. of young female and male children. Obviously, there is a big enough market to make in profitable. Someone is buy/using them.

What Aristotle wrote 2300 years ago in "Politika" still holds true today, because human nature is still the same: Aristotle on Politics:And it is a mark of a tyrant to dislike anyone that is proud or free-spirited; for the tyrant claims for himself alone the right to bear that character, and the man who meets his pride with pride and shows a free spirit robs tyranny of its superiority and position of mastery; tyrants therefore hate the proud as undermining their authority. And it is a mark of a tyrant to have men of foreign extraction rather than citizens as guests at table and companions, feeling that citizens are hostile but strangers make no claim against him. These and similar habits are characteristic of tyrants and preservative of their office, but they lack no element of baseness. And broadly speaking, they are all included under three heads; for tyranny aims at three things, one to keep its subjects humble (for a humble-spirited man would not plot against anybody), second to have them continually distrust one another (for a tyranny is not destroyed until some men come to trust each other, owing to which tyrants also make war on the respectable, as detrimental to their rule not only because of their refusal to submit to despotic rule, but also because they are faithful to one another and to the other citizens, and do not inform against one another nor against the others); and the third is lack of power for political action (since nobody attempts impossibilities, so that nobody tries to put down a tyranny if he has not power behind him). These then in fact are the three aims to which the wishes of tyrants are directed; for all the measures taken by tyrants one might class under these principles—some are designed to prevent mutual confidence among the subjects, others to curtail their power, and others to make them humble-spirited. |

That has to come from somewhere. The Green agenda. Another great expense with few results. Priorities have to be National Security and the Economy. Taking care of "we the people" … not millions of illegal aliens invited in by the current admin. Open borders IS not national security … it's just the opposite. It's like a box of chocolates "you never know what you're going to get", coming across the border. The millions of illegal aliens is a burden on the economy. Along with the Green agenda. Which is not viable at this time. But billions was spent … on an albatross … Again all that taxpayer money spent on those two very poor choices had to come from somewhere in the budget. |

We are committed to supporting those in need and delivering essential aid to displaced civilians, refugees and the communities hosting them." / X link Now from the horses mouth Subject: United States Provides Humanitarian Assistance in Response to the Escalating Crisis in Lebanon – United States Department of State link Now give me a break! The Federal government tells us "we need Congress to allocate more money!", but we have NO PROBLEM finding millions to send overseas for "humanitarian" support! Come on! We have US citizens in dire need and infrastructure to be cleaned up and rebuilt, but we are sending millions to support non-citizens of our country! One has to ask, if this had been California, New York or some other blue states, how much different this would be. Yesterday the President finally had a press meeting. What questions did the MSM ask? The Hurricane? 🦗🦗🦗 NO! Instead questions about the Middle East and… the US elections and possible election violence! Then they each thanked the President for taking questions. That is part of his bloody job! Why thank him??! A job he has not been doing. If I sound upset, I am. These are our fellow citizens suffering down there. Hundreds dead and missing. They are the priority. We send money everywhere for every disaster. I've heard foreigners complain about our not giving enough support to the Ukraine. Where is the money pouring into the hurricane disaster from those countries? I guess it is a one way street. I probably should not write when I'm upset. I urge you to contribute to the support of those down there suffering. Subject: Before-and-after images show Helene wiped parts of North Carolina off the map | CNN link |

"Everything is not as it seems, Florida State Guardsman Jonathan Howard told Fox News viewers of Hurricane Helene recovery efforts, accusing many in the mainstream media and a number of politicians, particularly President Biden, of painting a rosier picture of the government's response than reality. "He can take his $750 USD, it's a joke…" Howard said Saturday, referencing rumors that FEMA will provide storm victims with no more than $750 USD to support their recovery, as he responded to a recent video of Biden claiming those displaced by Helene are "getting everything they need, and they're very happy across the board." "These people are trapped in the mountains. What are they going to do? Order something? There's no way for it to even be delivered to their house… [it's a] complete failure of leadership. Everything comes down to leadership, and there is no leadership here. There is no command and control. No one has a clue what's going on," he continued." "Meanwhile, Biden's claim that storm victims are "getting everything they need" came in response to a reporter who asked, "What do the states in the storm zone… what do they need after what you saw today?""

""FEMA Regional Administrators have been meeting with city officials on site to coordinate — to coordinate available federal support from FEMA and other federal agencies," Jean-Pierre told reporters at the time. "Funding is also available through FEMA's Emergency Food and Shelter program to eligible local governments and not-for-profit organizations upon request to support humanitarian relief for migrants," she added."

The agency's funding streams are set by Congress. By far the largest amount of FEMA funds is for disaster relief. Assuming that we agree that climax change is a hoax, the red states especially have been taking a major beating via storms for the last couple of decades. As a country, we take care of our own in a disaster. It's not politics. We rebuild everything, sometimes over years. The media and politicians lying only makes things worse. Political conspiracies? Prove it or drop it. There are always some snafus, but Massachusetts shells out almost 6 bucks in taxes for every dollar we get back in federal aid, far more than NC. And as I said, I spent time working a private shipment from here last week. None of us talked about red states hating us, though we hear this on right wing media. B@#$&ing never stops when it comes to our politics right down to that single NG member who sounds clueless about large scale support logistics. 100 million in emergency road repair money for NC has already gone out to restart transportation and get aid moving faster. Private aid has been on the way for days, including from blue states who always support disaster relief. Money will get moved around. People will step up. If you believe that the FAA is impeding flights to the region to hurt NC by delaying aid, there is nothing we can say to each other to change our minds. |

Nope, I remember East Palestine all too well, so I'm not willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. Things are not fine, even though it's been long forgotten. From the last 2 days.
