“Put the US troops on the Mexican side of the border by agreement with Mexico.”
Whether they agree or not.
The Mexican government does not control its territory and will probably be overthrown by the cartels in a few years.
The history of the Insurrection Act dates back all the way to 1797, and the legislative record is so long and tortured that it’s woeful to contemplate. Suffice to say that in the 21st century, the Insurrection Act has been pleasantly re-titled “The Enforcement of the Laws to Restore Public Order Act” and codified in four sections of the US Code:
10 USC § 251 Federal Aid for State Governments
10 USC § 252 Use of Militia and Armed Forces to Enforce Federal Authority
10 USC § 253 Interference with State and Federal Law
10 USC § 254 Proclamation to Disperse
Of the four provisions, the most recent and the most powerful is 10 USC § 253, which was written in 2006. This is the one that liberal pundits always forget to mention when they blab about Posse Comitatus and governors. It reads:
The President, by using the militia or the armed forces, or both, or by any other means, shall take such measures as he considers necessary to suppress, in a State, any insurrection, domestic violence, unlawful combination, or conspiracy, if it-so hinders the execution of the laws of that State, and of the United States within the State, that any part or class of its people is deprived of a right, privilege, immunity, or protection named in the Constitution and secured by law, and the constituted authorities of that State are unable, fail, or refuse to protect that right, privilege, or immunity, or to give that protection; or opposes or obstructs the execution of the laws of the United States or impedes the course of justice under those laws.
That’s powerful language! Consider:
The authority is vested solely in the President. He does not need the invitation of state governors to intervene, nor does he need the approval of the Supreme Court. Older provisions of the Insurrection Act required either a governor or a judicial proceeding to authorize its use, but these limits were purposefully removed by Congress in § 253.
There is no time limit on the President’s activities. Older versions of the Insurrection Act limited the use of force to brief periods of time and then required legislative approval. Those limits, too, are also gone.
The President is allowed to use any means that he (and again, he needs no one else) considers necessary. This includes using the armed forces (which enables him to bypass the Posse Comitatus Act) and using the militia (which we’ll discuss in more detail below).
The President’s ability to use force isn’t restricted to actual rebellion or insurgency. He can act against merely unlawful combinations and conspiracies. To be clear: If the President decides that a conspiracy has deprived people of a right and believes that authorities fail or refuse to protect the right, he can send in the troops.
In blunt terms, Congress has given the power to President Trump to proclaim:
“I, President Trump, have determined that a conspiracy has deprived 70 million Americans of their right to vote and that the other authorities are refusing to protect this right. I therefore order the suppression of this conspiracy by any means necessary.”

Destroying the cartels with extreme prejudice would be a critical part of securing our borders from invasion. At 12:00:01 EST on Inauguration Day, all 5 branches of the US Military could/would/should launch a coordinated attack on every single cartel known to the US, wiping them off the face of the earth.
It would also send a message to our enemies elsewhere that there is a seismic shift in US policy to include robust protection of our national sovereignty and defense.
Perhaps.
But we should concentrate on destroying them out of the US first.
Vivek Ramaswamy’s Iowa Talks Fuel Speculation of Libertarian Presidential Run
No surprise here.
His mission is to stop Trump and he is utterly failing in the R primary.
This explains why all the LP shills are all in for him, including Rand and what I consider to be elder abuse of manipulating an aging Ron Paul into pushing him.
Killer You Softly With SuperAntigens.
SuperAntigens Are The JuiceM

Low-intensity conflict is a form of warfare where the enemy does not realize they are under attack, enabling a continuous form of warfare. I have written extensively about SuperAntigens being used in low-intensity warfare to cause general inflammation in their intended targets.
SuperAntigens And SARS
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9026686/
This article does not speculate that SuperAntigens were both in the CoronaVirus and the COVID vaccines. Inflammation-causing SuperAntigens were in the virus which indicates lab engineering since these SuperAntigens had never appeared before in the virus before the October 2019 outbreak of CoronaVirus. Here is an audio link to the recent Space I did on SuperAntigens called “Killing You Softly With SuperAntigens”. The audio has been edited to maximize the use of your time.
“Killing You Softly With SuperAntingen” Twitter Space By George Webb
We are often distracted by high-intensity warfare like fighter jets and kinetic bombing. But in terms of the effect on your health and inflammation in your body, SuperAntigens are far more important.
The SuperAntigens in the COVID spike might very well explain COVID systemic side effects and “Long Covid” side effects.
Military organizations like 4th Psychological Operations in Ft. Bragg, North Carolina merged with the FBI Counterintelligence Division to conduct these low-intensity operations against “security risks” in the United States (non-lethal) with Bill Clinton’s Presidential Decision Directive 62 (PDD-62).
Sounds “Anon-ish”, ne c’est pa?
Rep. Matt Gaetz:
What has emerged in Congress today is a dangerous uni-party, fused together by a mutual interest in changing as little as possible.
Democrats, and many of the Republicans, don’t like me very much.
They call me “chaotic” and “disruptive.” Maybe I’m a little rough around the edges.
But I WIN!
The American people know instinctively that the entire ecosystem of Washington D.C. is in need of disruption, for something better to arise.
>>My mission is to ensure that Congress is better prepared for the second term of Donald Trump than we were the first.<<
They can hate me, they can smear me, and they can try to expel me.
But I know I have you in my corner, and I will never stop fighting for you.
Order through chaos.
The Posse Comitatus act forbids the military from being used as domestic law enforcement. However, it would seem to me that using them to track down and expel invaders would not violate the PC act.
————
Of course the military can not be used to control citizens like hitler did in nazi germany, but that does not mean that we pay for a military to exclusively fight foreign wars for foreign people in the name of “American interests”. That term has been used by our corrupt government for years now, just so they can send our men to take care of their interests.
Our military is to fight for the USA, which means protecting our borders and rounding up the enemy no matter where in the USA they are. Why else would we have a military? The brainwashing has to end.

Excerpt from a very informative link posted below:
Protecting a state against invasion may also help to preserve republican government for the state and forestall domestic violence within its territory. But the obligation of the federal government to protect against invasion is separate, distinct and independent from the other obligations contained in the conjunctive list set forth in Article IV, Section 4. The federal government is obligated to protect each state against invasion in every case, whenever a state is invaded in fact, or threatened with invasion. The duty is unconditional.
The Guarantee Against Invasion Is Fundamental
From the first, the Founders clearly saw that protection against external threats of invasion is a fundamental responsibility of government. Indeed, one of the most important reasons they formed our government was to provide a protective common defense against invasion. As they stated in Article III of the Articles of Confederation:
“The said [thirteen] States hereby severally enter into a firm league of friendship with each other, for their common defense, the security of their liberties, and their mutual and general welfare, binding themselves to assist each other, against all force offered to, or attacks made upon them, or any of them, on account of religion, sovereignty, trade, or any other pretense whatever. (Article III)
Under the Articles of Confederation, the U.S. Congress had the “right and power of determining on peace and war,” and hence the obligation to protect each of the states from invasion. (Article IX, paragraph 1.) The Articles were signed in 1777 and ratified in 1781. It soon became apparent that, for a variety of reasons, the form of government established by the Articles of Confederation was insufficiently vigorous to effectively protect the interests of the United States and the rights of its citizens.
In 1787, the Founders returned to Philadelphia to “form a more perfect union” under a new Constitution that was designed to provide a more effective system of government for the nation than the one provided by the Articles of Confederation, a Constitution that, according to its Preamble, could better “insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty,” a constitutional government that could, among other things, more effectively protect the states against invasion.
The Guarantee Covers All Invasions
“Without some indication to the contrary, general words (like all words, general or not) [that are contained in any legal instrument] are to be accorded their full and fair scope. They are not to be arbitrarily limited.” (Scalia & Garner, at 101.) The full and fair scope of the general word “invasion” in Section 4 of Article IV includes any unwanted unlawful entry that harms or threatens to harm the interests of the state or states invaded and the citizens therein. Section 4 contains no indication to the contrary, i.e., it contains no

I’d ask how are they going to protect USA from invasion, if not for the military. Too many laws and policies are blinding the People in regards to using their OWN military.

Thanks for posting NNN and the ping.
Not surprised at all.
This is McCarthy’s revenge, he has been working toward the goal of losing the House since the minute he was ejected as Speaker.
There was a thread by a big account on X yesterday (can’t remember who) that asked who should replace Ronna McRomney. 3 out of 5 people said Scott Pressler. Some said Vivek, but he don’t know nuthin’ about ground game. No one knows ground game like Scott.
Correct. Posting the below got the attention of Twitter back in the day.
