In thinking about the material I reviewed before requesting information from GROK AI about the theoretical steps required for the invocation of the Insurrection Act (see my post), what stood out is that the government must demonstrate it's reluctance to use military troops in civilian settings.
This requirment that the President exhibit forbearance and exhaust other means before invoking the Insurrection Act was made a requirement to prevent weaponization of the military against the public, as was the separation of the roles of President and of Commander in Chief (See the AutoPen Administration for details).
In 1866, Supreme Court Justice David Davis said:
"The United States has no right to expect that it will always have wise and humane rulers, sincerely attached to the principles of the Constitution. Instead, wicked men, ambitious of power, with hatred of liberty and contempt of law, may fill the place once occupied by Washington and Lincoln.”

This is yet another reason the left HATES our Constitution and is eager to revise it.
This means the timeline is short, but unless threat to freedom around the world requires expedition, time will be awarded to those fighting our law enforcement and ICE and National Guard. PRAYERS UP FOR THOSE WHO PROTECT US WITH THEIR LIVES.

I'm still trying to get a "YOU ARE HERE" fix in regards to the actions we should expect in the coming days. I recall that in early Q days I looked at aircraft carrier locations in the Pacific (re China?). I wanted to update our position in terms of aircraft carriers which could serve as a buffer between us and China, and anywhere else of interest an aircraft carrier might loiter.

REQUEST TO GROK: What is the last known location of U.S. aircraft carriers. List the names of the carriers, the type of naval classification of the carrier, the last date their locations were known, the location at that time, and any public orders positioning them in the last 2 months.

MODIFIED REQUEST TO GROK: Arrange the table of information listing the most modern, capable aircraft carriers first, and continuing to the oldest, obsolete.

GROK AI responds:

Locations are approximate and derived from open-source ship spotting, Navy announcements, and fleet trackers. Carriers not actively deployed are typically in maintenance, local operations, or homeport.
Data is presented in a table for clarity. Under-construction carriers (e.g., USS John F. Kennedy) are excluded as they are not operational.
