Well, here we go with the next step in making the DC Police State permanent. – Military.com is reporting today that the National Guard under China Joe Potato Head Biden plans to keep a very substantial force of more than 7,000 Guard personnel in the nation’s capital to defend against gangs of marauding Trump supporters that do not exist.
The plan announced on Thursday originally was to keep this huge military presence in DC through the end of January, but that was mysteriously extended on Friday through the end of March. And at the end of March, it will no doubt be extended again, and it will keep on being periodically extended until the corrupt news media determines it is just a part of the “new normal” and stops remarking on it altogether.

Because that’s how this stuff works in the DC Swamp.
Here’s an excerpt from the story at Military.com:
The National Guard Bureau is working on a plan to call for thousands of volunteers from the 25,600 Guard members in Washington, D.C., to remain on duty in the city until as late as mid-March.
Guard officials announced Thursday that approximately 15,000 Air and Army National Guard troops would begin returning to their home states as early as this weekend.
Over the past two weeks, the massive Guard force flowed into D.C. to reinforce federal law enforcement for Wednesday’s inauguration of President Joe Biden, following the Jan. 6 breach of the U.S. Capitol that left five people dead.
While the inauguration took place peacefully, the Guard is still supporting requests from the U.S. Secret Service and federal law enforcement. Guard officials said Thursday that approximately 7,000 troops would likely remain in D.C. through the end of January.
As of Friday, the plan is to have up to 7,000 troops remain in D.C. through March 12, but those details are still in the planning stages, a National Guard official told Military.com.
Any Guard members who stay past the original 31-day mobilization order will be on a volunteer basis, and their orders will be modified for the new time frame, Nahaku McFadden, a spokesman for the Guard Bureau, told Military.com.
“We are not going to make anybody stay,” McFadden said.

Ok, guess which 7,000 National Guard personnel will no doubt “volunteer” to remain? Those would be the 7,000 who pledged their undying loyalty not to America, but to China Joe and Kamala and San Fran Nan and the rest of the in-power Democrats during the recent “vetting” of the Guard personnel by the FBI.
Thus does The Swamp create its very own Praetorian Guard. The “new normal” has arrived.
The states start fighting back a little. – On a positive note, some Republican governors have had enough of supporting this nonsense and are starting to fight back a bit. That effort was of course led by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who told reporters early Friday that he had ordered Florida’s National Guard troops to return home, stating that “These folks are soldiers, not Nancy Pelosi’s servants.”
DeSantis, who is quickly emerging as a serious early GOP contender for the presidency in 2024, went on to say that “This is a half-cocked mission at this point and the appropriate thing is to bring them home.”
Cool.
Much later in the day, increasingly useless Texas Governor Gregg Abbott, who has completely lost his way related to COVID-19 since last summer, woke up and realized he had just missed yet another opportunity to provide some real, actual leadership to DeSantis, decided he’d better call his National Guard people back home, too.
Hey, better late than never, right Governor Abbott? To be fair, of course, Abbott had threatened to take this action as early as Wednesday, but he’s become really good at issuing empty threats and really bad on following through with real leadership action. Last summer, when the country was in the midst of establishing the state-by-state paradigm for dealing with COVID-19, Abbott had a brief moment in time when it looked as if he might summon the courage to really lead on the issue and take the strong actions to save his state’s small businesses and jobs that DeSantis is now famous for having taken. Sadly, Abbott couldn’t find it within himself to defy the tyranny of “experts” and do the right thing. As a result, DeSantis today has emerged as the GOP governor who seems most likely to be able to make a strong run at the party’s presidential nomination in 2024, with South Dakota Governor Christi Noem running a strong second. Abbott, who got a quick start out of the gate, is now foundering behind the pack and trying to figure out some way to get his mojo back. Too bad.
That is all.
Here’s a question: Did we ever establish who ordered the NG to DC in the first place?
We Floridians are very proud of Ron DeSantis
I wonder if these military geniuses know that if we were going to start a real insurrection, that we wouldn’t start it in Washington D.C.?
This is a bogus piece. What does Abbott say/do?
He’s in the title. I should skim it z as d see his name in at least the first couple of paragraphs
All I see is that the Guard is there under Joe. Desantis isn’t running for 2024 and he’s whining is all i see. That’s a problem. Anyone not working toward seeing the outcome of 75 million people’s will come to be is living in a fantasy.
This is a pain in the a waste of time
Yeah let’s keep him here for another term please? We don’t need him leaving for DC. They can have him in 2030 when his second term is up.
“ Here’s a question: Did we ever establish who ordered the NG to DC in the first place?”
Eh, I’m quite sure DB does not allow questions.
“ May not be a single person. Could be a small group of high-ranking military, government, and Congress figures. ”
It doesn’t work that way.
“ We Floridians are very proud of Ron DeSantis”
I suggest you get to know why he’s doing this. He’s been bleating in about this for a week. Bring the homesick babies home already
The military is not necessarily corrupted.
Do some thinking
75 million people voted for Trump and no one has any awareness of how many people or states voted for what’s his name.
Anyone allowing a ‘he’s running in 2024’ is rejecting 75 million voters.
They do not want to hear about 4 years from now especially in this broken election system
“ I wonder if these military geniuses know that if we were going to start a real insurrection, that we wouldn’t start it in Washington D.C.?”
Maybe since you’re a genius you could stop assuming for a moment. Some people running the military are geniuses. Mzz a by are loyal to this country, the constitution and to the 75 million majority of voters
Then consider what is going on from that point of view. Genius.
sowing division among the loyal opposition
cheap shot
the LAST thing the Left wants is Florida and Texas in lockstep
that doesn’t serve their ends at all
Mzz a by Is maybe
Another day that the American people have no standing at the pathetic SCOTUS, a corrupt, cowardly institution that allowed this feeble socialist to become Pres. without our day in court.
There’s only 1 CnC. If Trump did not order it originally, then we officially have a coup.
“ sowing division among the loyal opposition

That is what’s annoying about this piece. I opened it to see what division DB was sowing and there’s not only no apprest such thing. There’s just desantis is wonderful
Why?
No one gets to be any kind of hero for anything going on sit the Guard unless it is known what their mission is and to whom do tgey report
No one knows that. People assume the military needs to report to Rachel maddow, Ann Coulter or Laura Ingraham. But the do not
The military does not operate under mob rule.
I think I heard reported it was the Secret Service that ordered the National Guard to Washington, D.C.
Are you sure he didn’t?
But some states are fighting back.....a little......Republican governors led by Florida's Ron DeSantis,
ordered Fla’s National Guard troops to return home, stating: “The Ntl Guard are soldiers, not Nancy Pelosi’s servants.”
Texas Gov Abbott followed suit.
Are you sure he didn’t?
Desantis comes out as a hero here. I think he’s very divisive. I’ve been hearing about him in this for a week. He’s being an idiot. Bring the troops home and shut up about it. Division right now is the worst anyone can do.
