Good luck with that. Trump wanted 25,000 National Guardsman in 2021. Pelosi denied it.

If they have half a brain, they’ll equip them with live ammo and have them shoot on sight, as the police will be outnumbered 200 to 1 against just Muslims and also, probably, 500 to 1 against their hormone enraged young women (who also get to vote) and the men (cucks) forced to follow them wherever they choose to protest.

Glad that I got to see Paris 30+ years ago in less turbulence. Actually got to drive on a section of boulevard celebrating a relative who was a hero in WW2!
