🚨 BREAKING: President Trump and the Department of War have put **1,500** active duty soldiers on standby pending potential deployment to the Minneapolis area, per multiple U.S. officials

The soldiers are from the 11th Airborne division, ready to hit the ground if Walz does not quell the nonstop daily riots out here in the Twin Cities

47 could deploy them here in just DAYS

The quicker heavily armed troops are deployed to Minneapolis the better. Somali crazies want a fight? They are going to get it.

John Podesta planned civil war if Trump won in 2020.

The plan was postponed for four years when Democrats managed to steal the 2020 election.

In the meantime, they made a predictive-programming movie about a civil war to prepare their minions for what to do when the time came.

In Podesta's plan and in the movie, Left-coast states form a "Western Alliance," secede from the Union and eventually assassinate the President.

Lo-and-behold, California, Oregon and Washington have formed an alliance to "cow" the President.

The Western States Can COW the President

California announces coalition of Governors forming new alliance to protect public health from political interference

And when Gavin Newsom bragged about forming the alliance on Steven Colbert's show, the minions cheered because they were in on the plan.

Gavin Newsom gets the full Colbert treatment

Newsom used the national platform to warn about what he called “authoritarian actions by an authoritarian government” and to reiterate his prediction that Trump does not want another election (besides “a Putin-type election”) while touting Democrats’ support for international climate agreements, vaccine access and opposition to mass deportations.

He highlighted California’s partnership with nearby states to counter what he’s called the politicization of the CDC and vaccine guidelines under HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

The soldiers are from the 11th Airborne division

Very interesting. These are the "Arctic Angels" in Alaska who specialize in cold-weather combat. I assumed this was the unit that would deploy to Greenland. I guess that will be their follow-up mission after they seize Minneapolis.

[MinorityRepublican]

Will he invoke the Insurrection Act of 1807?

[frank ballenger]

I heard a person on the news say Tim Walz could interfere with the US by having the National Guard at his disposal say they have jurisdiction so the others should stand down and leave town. He could rule where the Guard goes and the US couldn’t also make decisions in the same place.
Supposedly a ploy by Walz.

Does anyone know about this?

[MinorityRepublican]

-2° in Minneapolis.

For those who don't know: the US Army's 11th Airborne, who Trump just put on standby to deploy to Minneapolis, is based in Alaska and specializes in COLD WEATHER WARFARE

These are the PERFECT guys for the job.

Antifa militants stand NO chance in these conditions.

I'd activate fire fighting aircraft and bath the hordes with dyed water.

Let them enjoy Minneapolis in winter while soaked and stained.

See post 7.

The commies will be FUBAR!

Tampon Tim thinks he's in Tianaman Square again?
Going to put up one of his notorious fake heroics?

[j.havenfarm]

Both UsC Title 10 and the Insurrection Act allow the President to federalize the National Guard, remove them from the command of the Governor

[madison10]

My understanding is that all President Trump has to do is belay that order and make Timmy’s troops TRUE National Guard.

[frank ballenger]

That doesn’t sound good.

[frank ballenger]

By which I mean it still can leave a loophole for Walz to be the one who “asked” first so has jurisdiction. Hope I am wrong.

[madison10]

That would be on Walz, not President Trump. Walz has been stoking the fire.

[frank ballenger]

RE: -2° in Minneapolis.

That’s a good temperature to freeze Antifa’s assets off.

[pierrem15]

Should be 15,000 and the whole state should be declared in insurrection and every Democrat politician and party leader (including Senators and Reps) should be arrested and every Dem voter lustrated. Appoint a military governor and then hold new elections.

Just like in the South after 1865.

[madison10]

You are wrong.

[Ronaldus Magnus]

One side needs to win, and one side needs to lose. Our odds will never be better. Let’s get started, and not stop until it is done.
