Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced late Saturday night that in addition to the National Guardsmen — who were being deployed to restore order in Los Angeles — he was placing active duty U.S. Marines at nearby Camp Pendleton on high alert.
Hegseth’s announcement, made via a post on X, came just hours after it was reported that President Donald Trump was invoking the Insurrection Act of 1807 in order to deploy a number of National Guard troops as protesters clashed violently with Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents across the Los Angeles area.
“The violent mob assaults on ICE and Federal Law Enforcement are designed to prevent the removal of Criminal Illegal Aliens from our soil; a dangerous invasion facilitated by criminal cartels (aka Foreign Terrorist Organizations) and a huge NATIONAL SECURITY RISK. Under President Trump, violence & destruction against federal agents & federal facilities will NOT be tolerated. It’s COMMON SENSE,” Hegseth said.
“The @DeptofDefense is mobilizing the National Guard IMMEDIATELY to support federal law enforcement in Los Angeles. And, if violence continues, active duty Marines at Camp Pendleton will also be mobilized — they are on high alert,” he added.
Under normal circumstances, the Posse Comitatus Act prevents the federal government from deploying the military for law enforcement purposes within the United States’ borders, but the Insurrection Act — actually a combination of several statutes enacted between 1792 and 1871 — stands as the one major exception to that.

They’re testing the waters to see how far they can get away with.
If that had been a Pro America march with dems in charge of Fed Inc., the dems would have ordered their gestapo to fire on them.
Fix bayonets.
Go kick ass.
LA is gone. Any city that allows punks to ride around the city streets on dirt bikes and ATV’s has lost control. Note how long the charred car remained in the intersection as well as the tipped over lamp post.
No wonder they can’t handle fires or mudslides. They can’t even remove/replace a friggin’ lamp post.
It is an invasion by illegal aliens. There are many millions of them in the LA region.
Yep!
There was a time in our nation when common sense people knew that if you put your finger in an electric socket you'll be shocked and it will be your fault. How far we've fallen away from common sense.
No marines. National guard or let it all burn until citizens come in shooting. That’s how America is and must be.
We don’t need marines interfering. Locals only.
Some times things have to burn and locals need to come in shooting and hanging. Not country folk; city locals.
These are not "laser pointers". They are high-powered lasers designed to be used as blinding devices against pilots and riflemen.
The blinding can be permanent.
You could buy these devices last year from various supplies via online ordering. It is legal to possess them, but not legal to use them in most circumstances as the power ratings exceed eye safe limits. Made in China, of course.
The use of these devices in a "mostly peaceful protest" should be considered a felonious assault with intent to cause grievous bodily harm. And it should provoke immediate lethal countermeasures.
This crosses the line into the kinetic phase of civil war.
Lol, my wife and I have used that line for a long time when deciding who’s going to do this or that, haul kids to events, etc. suprising how few know the back story even here in Texas.

Just need to gather them up and drive them across the border. Like a huge cattle drive.
Hat tip to Pete Hegseth teaching that law isn’t a suggestion it’s a ruel go by it or pay.
Can blind them...possibly more than temporarily.
ALL illegal aliens...ALL of any age and circumstance must be kicked out forever...never to return. Anyone interfering with the ICE and others making this happen should be arrested and held until trial. I’d like to se lots of metal handcuffs and leg irons. If the situation is too in flux, let those detained lie in the street until the situation is under control.
Bondi is doing her job. She promised arrest and prosecution, here are the means to carry out that promise.
What’s your problem?
And could they be?
Let’s hope it will be dealt with accordingly.
BZZZZT! You got it wrong but thanks for playing.
Here’s the short version -
The Bonus Army broke camp and returned home after negotiations with congress.
What remained were communists who infiltrated the Bonus Army. The commie agitators proceeded to attack federal buildings under construction and shooting and murdering one or more DC cops. The president called out the Army to handle the communists. And they did. The end.
Actually, after I posted that I did see a fire for the first time. But I do dislike hyperbole in what is supposed to be journalism and reporting.
What a fag.
