Note: Alas, a bogus "story." Update on Red State about the blog writer's diary entry: MEMBER DIARY Obama DOT Plans use of National Guard to close I-495 Capital Beltway tomorrow? By: Glenn Ryt (Diary) | October 10th, 2013 at 06:52 AM | 28 These are the sorts of user diaries that make me wonder why we have user diaries as all our credibility suffers. Please use your user diary responsibly. — Erick
President approves Dept. of Transportation proposal to counter anti-Obama Trucker protest Friday, October 11?
End of update.
Sources within the Department of Transportation have revealed that their plan to use National Guard resources to close federally funded Interstate Route 495, circling the nation’s capital, have been approved by unknown White House officials and will be implemented on Friday morning, October 11, in order to thwart the three day Trucker slowdown announced on the Capitol Beltway starting that date, using the federal government shutdown as justification.
The National Guard resources to be used to thwart the truckers will include rifle toting National Guardsmen called up from units that will be coming in from Maryland, Pennsylvania and Virginia. They will use Guardsmen on foot and using trucks, jeeps and armored vehicles, which will be stationed at all entrance ramps to the Beltway to block incoming traffic starting early Friday morning.
Calls to both the White House and the Department of Transportation to confirm this story were not answered at press time. Unless an announcement is made in advance, it appears the first notice of this new White House plan to punish House GOP members who have cited their Constitutional authority to approve – or not approve – all spending proposed by the White House and their Democratic allies in the Senate, will be early Friday morning.
Reminds me of one of Matt Brackens stories.
sorry ,National Guard is on furlough , LOL
With obama, satire today, reality tomorrow.
Unfortunately just another day for the mother truckers in DC!
Coming from a POtuS that closed THE OCEAN and ANTARCTICA nothing is satire.
Someone needs to send these truckers a whole bunch of flags to fly on their rigs. Tea Party. Dont Tread on Me. Catch us if you Can. Sons of Liberty. Tree of Liberty. etc. etc.
FReep a poll it will make you feel better
Obama closing Mt. Rushmore was satire.
Obama closing the Veteran’s Memorial was satire.
Obama closing parks that are not funded by the government was satire.
Obama having the the pump handles removed from water stations in the parks was satire.
Obama having cops lock the bathrooms in parks, and turn away a FREE truckload of porta potties was satire.
Satire seems to have a new definition these days, if you know what I mean. "
The whole Obumbler adminsitration is satire, ..suitable only for Saturday Night live presentation.
or suitable for a rodeo clown in a barrell.
If zer0 plans on waiving the next elections due to some emergency then it could happen.
Since when does the DOT call up the National Guard? Isn’t that POTUS’ job?
The DOT can’t, that was my point. I was trying to say that the author didn’t say it was satire because it was obvious.
Thanks Wilderness Conservative.
Truckers’ Capital Beltway protest isn’t a hoax, organizers say
