You can’t make this up.

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...

President-elect Trump’s confirmation last month of his plan to deploy military assets for immigration enforcement sparked a constitutional debate. Legal scholars and commentators quickly declared such action forbidden by long-standing prohibitions on military involvement in domestic law enforcement. But this conventional wisdom misreads both the letter and spirit of American law. A careful examination of a pair of longstanding statutes reveals military support for immigration enforcement is permissible.The issue hinges on two 19th century laws: the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 and the Insurrection Act of 1807. When properly understood, both allow the President to use active-duty military forces to...

Opponents of Donald J. Trump are drafting potential lawsuits in case he is elected in November and carries out mass deportations, as he has vowed. One group has hired a new auditor to withstand any attempt by a second Trump administration to unleash the Internal Revenue Service against them. Democratic-run state governments are even stockpiling abortion medication. A sprawling network of Democratic officials, progressive activists, watchdog groups and ex-Republicans has been taking extraordinary steps to prepare for a potential second Trump presidency, drawn together by the fear that Mr. Trump’s return to power would pose a grave threat not just...

(CNN)As former President Donald Trump prepares for a potential comeback bid in 2024, his allies are flocking to election jobs all the way down to the local level in key battleground states, raising new concerns that the election officials who blocked Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election won't be there the next time around. Trump himself has endorsed candidates for secretary of state and attorney general -- statewide races that play a crucial role in administering elections -- who have spread his lies about 2020. But in addition to statewide roles, Trump's acolytes are pursuing local election posts, even...

General Mark Milley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, prevented Donald Trump from invoking the Insurrection Act against Black Lives Matter during their 2020 riots. Milley, according to Bob Woodward and Robert Costa’s new book, ‘Peril,’ drastically minimized the riots to Trump, suggesting that they were mostly centered upon the use of “spray paint.” Despite the violent protests spreading across the country like wildfire, Milley insisted that they had only impacted two cities and were peaceful, echoing CNN’s absurd description of the riots as “fiery, but most peaceful.” “They used spray paint, Mr. President, that’s not an insurrection. […]...

The latest article published by the American journalist Laurie Roth could be the key to everything. Basically, it could be the key to understanding what has been happening in the last six months within the United States. Roth claims she had a phone conversation with a high-level military source who leaked a stunning revelation to her. A few days before leaving the White House, on January 14, Donald Trump would sign the act known in the United States as “Insurrection Act”, which confers special emergency powers to the President of the United States in order to quell rebellions and acts...

Snowy conditions are not keeping thousands of National Guard troops from protecting the Capitol, and neither are unanswered questions about whether officials have detected plans for a possible repeat of right-wing extremist violence. Some Guard members have grumbled to reporters that they do not know why they remain in Washington, away from their day jobs and families, even as some units are heading home. “We currently have just over 7,000 soldiers and airmen assigned to the National Guard mission in Washington, D.C., and we remain on track to draw down to 5,000 through mid-March,” D.C. National Guard spokesman Capt. Tinashe...

Remember when the liberals were warning us that Donald Trump was a dictator ot about to become one? We were told his attacks on “fake news” had a “chilling effect” on freedom of the press, that his suggestion that the National Guard be used to restore order as riots raged unchecked following the death of George Floyd was an illegal use of the military, that any invocation of the Insurrection Act was unconstitutional, and that his border wall was a monument to racist tyranny. Townhall.Com reminds us of just a few of the examples: It’s Berlin 1933 all over again,...

This is a great summary about the events over the last few days. https://www.bitchute.com/video/TQyYVH43xv9F/

These vicious attacks against decent, conservative Americans are going to continue unabated for the next 4 years if Trump does not release the facts of the admitted election fraud criminal from Italy. We are all waiting for the Insurrection Act announcement about Foreign Interference in our Presidential and Georgia Senate Election. We implore Trump or Rudy to make an announcement.

You may think no one is behind you, but you are wrong. Stand up to these evil people domestic and foreign. What they’ve done is wrong. Now is the time to stand up to all of them. You are strong and stronger still knowing there are 80 million of us and more supporting you. You cannot let them take over this country. You cannot let them win.

Rumors only at this point. Anyone else hearing similar? If so, it may be very good news. "The Insurrection Act of 1807 is a United States federal law that empowers the President of the United States to deploy U.S. military and federalized National Guard troops within the United States in particular circumstances, such as to suppress civil disorder, insurrection or rebellion.

Shocking details of the giant bill passed by both the US Senate and the US House of Representatives on Tuesday exposes how civil servants in DC view their host, the American Taxpayer, including one amendment that was attached to the spending bill that would limit the President’s Constitutional authority as Commander and Chief.

Team Trump attorney Jenna Ellis is advising the president against use of the Insurrection Act as he continues to contest the results of the November election. The Insurrection Act of 1807 is a federal law that gives the president the authority, under very specific circumstances, to deploy the U.S. armed forces to quell civil disorder, rebellion, or insurrection. As explained by Ellis, in this case it would involve the president taking "the military and going to seize assets in state sovereignties," for example the Dominion Voting Systems machines. "Certainly, I would not advise that the American people want that" because...

.This does not mean that President Trump is throwing in the towel. President Trump has several options left to expose the historic fraud in the 2020 election. ** President Trump can still confiscate and examine the controversial and suspect voting machines. ** President Trump can encourage the AWOL Justice Department to investigate and prosecute those who committed fraud. ** Mark Zuckerberg could be investigated for his role in shady election practices. ** President Trump can bring in the inventor of the QR Code, IT expert Jovan Hutton Pulitzer, to conduct his scan on completed ballots. ** President Trump can order...

Dan has been President Trump’s social media director since before the 2016 election. He is a trusted and loyal Trump aide. There was much talk today in the news today on President Trump meeting with Attorney Sidney Powell in the Oval Office Friday evening. President Trump discussed naming Powell as special counsel to investigate massive Democrat voter fraud that took place in the 2020 election. General Flynn also joined Sidney Powell on Friday. Deploying the US military was reportedly raised in the meeting but was nixed by Trump’s advisers. But it was reportedly a raucous meeting. And it was reported...

Some GOP lawmakers and civil groups say Trump should invoke the 1807 Insurrection Act. The law permits the president to send in the military to suppress a domestic rebellion if the insurrection has made “it impracticable to enforce the laws of the U.S. by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings.” The Act is different from martial law, where some civil liberties under the constitution may be suspended. A law professor previously explained that the insurrection act is meant to enforce the law, not replace it. Author of The Constitution Study, Paul Engel, explains more about the Act. “This is not...
