And I'm flabbergasted at their continual use of the word "insurrection". It is a corruption of the English language. What Antifa and BLM does is insurrection.
By the way, which government agent killed Air Force veteran Ashli Babbit?

The soldiers, along with some Illinois Air National Guard airmen, are expected to remain at the nation’s capital until mid-March
===========================================================
Gov. J.B. Pritzker activated 500 Illinois National Guard troops Thursday, with plans to send them to Washington D.C. "at the request of the Department of Defense, his office announced.
“The U.S. Department of Defense has asked Illinois to assist federal and local agencies in this continued effort, and Major General Neely and I are ready to ensure that the state of Illinois continues its proud legacy of protecting our democracy,” Pritzker said in a statement. “Ultimately, we must root out the dark forces of racism, white supremacy and disinformation that have created this moment, but until we do that, our extraordinary troops will deploy with honor.”
The soldiers, along with some Illinois Air National Guard airmen, are expected to remain at the nation’s capital until mid-March.
Earlier this month, Pritzker activated approximately 200 members of the Guard to help provide support ahead of and during the inauguration.
Those members have since returned to Illinois, but 50 have volunteered to return in the latest deployment.
“We are deploying these forces in support of civilian law enforcement based on threat-levels against the U.S. Capitol. These threats were assessed by the FBI and other federal agencies,” Maj. Gen. Rich Neely, the Adjutant General of Illinois and Commander of the Illinois National Guard, said in a statement. “Our soldiers and airmen are committed to the defense of both our nation and our state. We have asked a lot of them in the last year and each time these men and women have answered the call and upheld their oath to defend and support the U.S. Constitution. I could not be more proud of these Soldiers and Airmen.”
The Department of Homeland Security issued a national terrorism bulletin Wednesday warning of the lingering potential for violence from people motivated by antigovernment sentiment after President Joe Biden's election, suggesting the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol may embolden extremists and set the stage for additional attacks.
The department did not cite any specific plots, but pointed to “a heightened threat environment across the United States” that it believes “will persist” for weeks after Biden's Jan. 20 inauguration.
The Illinois forces are set to join approximately 7,000 National Guard members from throughout the United States in Washington, D.C. In February, that force will draw down to 5,000, officials said.
Pritzker noted that 325 members of the guard have already been activated to help with vaccinations in Illinois, with "hundreds more to come online in the coming weeks." He says that mission will not be impacted by the Washington, D.C. deployment.
Why?
Good question.
They ‘expect’ mass protests when the ‘convict’ Trump........................
Do they have enough parking garages to house them all?
They only need one rest room, so that should be covered.
This is dangerous.
W T H is going on?
Did Biden sign a Paranoia related E. O.?
Word is, some Republican is coming to town to allegedly
‘pick up his Dry Cleaning’.
Better call out the National Guard to be on the safe side!
Through high powered binoculars an FBI agent saw at least a half dozen white males in red checked shirts and bib overalls, carrying Bibles. The FBI assumes some will soon have pitchforks and thus are taking no chances.
Trump can bring up all the supported fake ballots and voting machine errors.
Maybe they are to stop the riots when they arrest Joke Biden.
Perhaps Prickzker should be worried about defending those people.
To make up for the troops Texas and Florida wisely sent back home. You know an attack on Washington by pro-Trump insurrectionists is imminent, anytime now, you just wait, a matter of time.
Just like a U.S. attack on Cuba was imminent according to the Communist rulers there.
“ Ultimately, we must root out the dark forces of racism, white supremacy and disinformation that have created this moment, but until we do that, our extraordinary troops will deploy with honor.”
Can’t wait to see the campaign ribbon
BLM logo?
Straight out of the banana republic playbook.
Amish? You know how terrible they can be.
Why can’t they get Social Workers?
Yep, feels like Mao is taking over - once in power, centralize authority and massively increase security to avoid a revolt.
And North Korea telling their people we’re going to attack, sometime, in the future, which is in the future, future.
Will it be unisex or should I say multi-gendered and LGBTQ+ approved? Or will that take six weeks of paperwork? If they go inside and see someone who makes Ru Paul and Little Richard look conservative, then maybe hold off awhile.
If I were the FBI, I wouldn’t be concerned, *unless* torches came with the pitchforks. *Then* we’ve got something going.
And I'm flabbergasted at their continual use of the word "insurrection". It is a corruption of the English language. What Antifa and BLM does is insurrection.
