The massive presence of National Guard troops in preparation for President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration has left many people feeling unsettled.
A video from Politico national security correspondent Natasha Bertrand showed dozens of troops walking in formation on the streets of Washington, D.C., on Sunday evening.

This unprecedented number of troops is intended to protect against threats following the Capitol incursion that occurred on Jan. 6 and resulted in the death of 5 people.
Currently, there are about 25,000 guardsmen who will be present for the inauguration from all 50 states, according to the National Guard website.
The visuals coming out of Washington look eerily similar to authoritarian regimes like North Korea, which are notorious for their military parades.
The National Guard deserves all the thanks in the world for their efforts, but one cannot help but wonder why their presence is so massive.
A possible answer is disturbing: The United States military is preparing for the absolute worst-case scenario for Wednesday.
As there are also concerns about an inside attack, the FBI is vetting all the troops currently in Washington, The Associated Press reported Sunday.

“If there’s any indication that any of our soldiers or airmen are expressing things that are extremist views, it’s either handed over to law enforcement or dealt with the chain of command immediately,” National Guard Bureau Chief Gen. Daniel R. Hokanson told the AP.
A fire at a homeless encampment was mistaken for a larger threat Monday morning, triggering another lockdown at the Capitol during the inauguration rehearsal.

The hats aren’t oversized. The NK’s are just midgets. They get their Cold War-era uni’s from Russian military surplus stores.
Don’t worry, they would never shoot at their fellow Americans. Unless they were ordered to of course.
The Dems never cared about rioters before.
They didn’t care when leftists attacked people and destroyed their property.
Now that they think they’re the target, they’re scared.
All of a sudden, they’re pro-police and pro-National Guard.
My local Toyota dealer didn’t offer the Katusha Rocket Launcher option on the 2021 Tocoma.
The NK troops know that the “great leader” can order them shot on the spot if they “act up”.
Bidet just needs to learn the ropes—he (or Queen Kamala) will figure it out....
Nikita Kruschev, in 1956 said, ‘we will bury you’.
His dream is coming true with the ‘election’ of Biden and Harris, and with increased power coming to Pelosi and Schumer.
The enemy has won.
(For now)
You need to call their corporate headquarters and complain about that outfit.
Either that or get them to knock enough off of the price to cover after-market accessories. :)
True, most can’t stand Biden. But they are doing -exactly- as they are told.
There’s a lesson in there.
The most popular president in history (with allegedly 80 million votes) will be inaugurated behind razor wire and guarded by 30,000 troops.
LOL, they look nothing like North Korea. In North Korea they march in step and you never hear laughing in the ranks. More than a few fatties.
I have no idea what that mob was, but they don’t exude discipline and hardness.
If you think this is going to be spectacular, wait until you see what they plan for the May Day parades.

Will Joe Biden continue to swim in the nude?
Appropriately, the next 4 years in the US will resemble time spent in NK.
Retraining camps for pro-life Christians are being constructed for future use.
Goodbye America.
Western Journal? Really? Committed to truth and accuracy?Last paragraph:
“The historic situation makes it clear that polarization and domestic terrorism pose a significant physical threat to a peaceful transition of power, and that the political climate needs to cool down.
We are committed to truth and accuracy in all of our journalism.”
That's right.
I was thinking earlier, isn't it amazing we aren't seeing groups like Bikers for Trump and other groups showing up to support Biden who just allegedly "got" the most voters ever?
Wolverines!
are they goose-steppin?
Tucker Carlson is always spot on but he was en fuego and as eloquent and thoughtful as I’ve ever heard him. This is a must watch & share!
If you don’t know how much trouble we’re in, this will clear the cobwebs!

How about Gay Day (Rainbow) Parades!
Our new glorious military will lead the way—dressed in drag.
We will fight anywhere to make the world safe for perverts.
Are these incredible days of progress or what?
