The National Guard said this week that if it does not receive the $521 million reimbursement for its help protecting Washington, D.C., following the Jan. 6 insurrection it will hinder the readiness of the guardsmen to respond to other situations....
...“The National Guard used fiscal year 2021 funding to pay for the operational Capital response from January to May. By front-loading the money, it ensured the Soldiers and Airmen who volunteered for the mission were paid,” the National Guard Bureau said in a statement to The Hill.
“The nearly $521 million cost of that mission is still a deficit against our budget. Without the reimbursement funding, the National Guard will either curtail, or reduce, its drill weekends.... "

Pelosi’s folly
take it out of her booze allowance
That may not cover her tab
What Democrat does?
Pretty disgusting.
I guess the National Guard is out of luck after being in the capitol to stop another “insurrection.”
The mother of all publicity stunts.
Too bad for them! Trusting the Coup to pay them!
The National Guard should have refused to guard the Capitol, which was theatrics anyway.
You fell for the con. You really think the Dems will give you any of that $3 Trillion? Hope you enjoyed your DC vacation, cause that’s all yer gonna get.
The Democrats need to pay Leftist organizations first.
House/Senate went off on summer vacation...won’t return until mid-August...all this debt chatter will be the number one topic once they do return. So I don’t expect the Guard to get the $521 million. Maybe the Pentagon will just shift money around and pay out of their general budget.
i can see them not get reimbursed
tptb would like the guard to become less capable and miss training
Free “crisis” actors ribbons for all!
Hahaha suckers. Perhaps next time you’ll do your Patriotic duty and let the fradulent, bankrupt regime burn to the ground.
“...following the Jan. 6 insurrection”
I kept wondering why a five month deployment did not create a huge issue for the very large percentage of Guardsmen who have full time jobs at home.
It also makes me suspect their volunteer status might indicate that many had anti-GOP political sympathies as well.

The Reichstag Fire
On February 27, 1933, the German parliament (Reichstag) building burned down. The Nazi leadership and its coalition partners used the fire to claim that Communists were planning a violent uprising. They claimed that emergency legislation was needed to prevent this.
The resulting act, commonly known as the Reichstag Fire Decree, abolished a number of constitutional protections and paved the way for Nazi dictatorship.
Key Facts
1. Implemented one day after the fire, the decree suspended the right to assembly, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and other constitutional protections, including all restraints on police investigations. It remained in effect until Nazi Germany was defeated in May 1945.
2. The decree permitted the regime to arrest and incarcerate political opponents without specific charge, to dissolve political organizations, and to confiscate private property.
3.
The decree also gave the regime the authority to overrule state and local laws and overthrow state and local governments.
Which states voluntarily (malevolently) sent NG troops? I guess sorry for their luck...
Lay down with dogs, and surprised they got fleas? Those would be dumb states.
Pentagon approved 21,000 troops for DC. Send them the bill. I guess they will have to divert the tranny show budget to pay for this.
Anyone expecting any different bill paying from this congress makes a bag of hammers look like Einstein.
They will use the money that Trump diverted to building the border wall to the National Guard, just to poke their fingers into our eyes again.
