President Trump promised to use the power of the military to intervene against rioting if states fail to take a more aggressive action to control them.

"Crossing State lines to incite violence is a FEDERAL CRIME! Liberal Governors and Mayors must get MUCH tougher or the Federal Government will step in and do what has to be done, and that includes using the unlimited power of our Military and many arrests. Thank you!"

“I don’t like it when our own government starts talking about their “unlimited power” against our own citizens.”

When it is Civil War II, the powers of the military must be used.

Or start a rumor.

Rumors work well in wartime. Especially on civilians.

If no one is going to stop them, then they aren’t going to stop.

Yes, Trump is already too late. I am disappointed in him on this one and concerned that he is thinking politically while we watch the nation burn. What a useless pile of crap Barr is. And know that there will be something else...and then something else...right up until the election. UNLESS A FOOT IS PUT DOWN!

It’s what President Bush used in 1992 for the Rodney King unpleasantness in South Central Los Angeles.

There is a lot going on and they may be connected.

2016 was suppose to be a cakewalk for Hillary.

Besides being the first “woman President” and seeking money for her foundation, Hillary had no more interest in being Chief Executive then Bill Clinton.

Others would do the heavy lifting.

China has been buying influence for years. With the American government in their pocket (along with many of our major corporations, universities, entertainment industry and news media) they were preparing to become the number one world power.

They would have attacked Taiwan and Hillary would have done nothing. They would have threaten Japan forcing them to request the US leave Japan. They would have used North Korea to force the South Koreans to ask the US to leave.

They would have owned that portion of the world and Australia and New Zealand was in their sight.

China’s BELT AND ROAD initiative has been using money to take over major airports and ports around the world.

They were this close to succeeding...and then Trump won.

From that point on it would seem that there was an organized push to remove President Trump from office.

President Trump has alone brought China to their knees. They are hurting and world opinion is turning against them and their economy is damaged. Their grand plan on becomeing a world power is fading, and President Trump is the cause of all their pain.

Just as one crisis is handled another one pops up, almost as if they were planned out in advanced.

Looking at what all has happen in the past three and a half years it seems almost unbelievably.

So I don’t think President Trumps warning about using our military is entirely for internal consumption, I think he is sending a message to our foes that we are preparing our military for action.

“Martial Law works much better.”

No, people are talking about someone named Marshall Law.

I don’t think he as anything to do with Martial Law.

Here in Des Moines, there was violence last night as well.
Heard 2 police officers say they say many people they were confident were from out of town.

I’m sure Marshall is a good guy, but he should not be making all the Laws.
