Bigly, but temporarily. Or is it temporarily-ly? Whichever term one wants to use, some may add surprisingly as well. Wanna bet Gavin Newsom got surprised by a unanimous slapdown at the Ninth Circuit in his fight over control of the National Guard? The California governor took a brief X/Twitter victory lap after a win at...
A US appeals court has ruled that President Donald Trump can keep control of National Guard troops he deployed to Los Angeles, despite objections from city leaders and California Governor Gavin Newsom. Trump deployed the troops in response to widespread protests against his immigration crackdown. Local officials called it an unnecessary provocation. A three-judge panel...
A federal judge has blocked the Trump administration’s deployment of California’s National Guard to Los Angeles and called the move illegal. The judge’s order to return control of the troops to California Governor Gavin Newsom will not go into effect immediately and the administration has filed an appeal. The state sued President Donald Trump on...
How do you shut down chaos? Prevent it from starting in the first place. And then shut it down definitively when prevention fails. With anti-ICE rallies popping up across the nation and the state of Texas, Governor Greg Abbott decided an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of tear gas. Late last night, a...
It comes as no surprise that the people who put their lives on the line trying to maintain law and order aren’t too happy with the politicians and Pravda Media folks who are egging on the insurrectionists in Los Angeles. But you would never know it if you got all your news from the Gavin...
Ah, those precious few Democrats skilled in the art of the political shiv. A flagrant, public stab-in-the-back assertion that is breathtakingly untrue, and intended by the sheer audacity of it being spoken to eclipse the original fact it is meant to conceal and replace. So polished and practiced in their perfidy, there’s no requirement for...
As I pointed out here, the case that Los Angeles doesn’t need any additional law enforcement help is looking pretty thin after a dozen or more businesses were looted last night. And yet, Gov. Newsom is suing the Trump administration and today California’s AG Rob Bonta asked for an Emergency Restraining Order to stop the...
Dozens of former officials have spoken to the BBC about their role enforcing the brutality of the Assad regime – including a man who said he tortured detainees, then defected in 2012. The rare first-hand testimony forms part of a BBC investigation into Syria’s notorious prisons under its former president, Bashar al-Assad, who was overthrown...
The California governor says it’s unnecessary and illegal. Read full article at source...
Yeah, well, good luck with that. Just remember that any fool with $100 and an attorney can file a lawsuit. It takes a wee bit more to win one, especially with the federal executive branch when it comes to protecting its own law enforcement agents. Having done nothing to help Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers...
I had this in a Xweet earlier, but I think it’s something we need to go over as I’m not seeing it being discussed anywhere in the media. We were watching the NBC Weekend News last night (don’t chitter at me – we believe in and practice KNOW YOUR ENEMY). Of course, the broadcast opened...
Brandon Drenon BBC News, Washington DC Watch: Clashes continue in LA over immigration raids US President Donald Trump says he has deployed 2,000 National Guard troops to Los Angeles to uphold “very strong law and order”, after violent protests against immigration raids erupted in America’s second-biggest city.

US President Donald Trump is deploying 2,000 National Guardsmen in Los Angeles to deal with unrest over raids on undocumented migrants.

Before the break of dawn on May 3, the families of incarcerated individuals begin gathering around the processing trailer at the bottom of the concrete steps leading up to New York’s Elmira Correctional Facility. After being denied the opportunity to visit for over a month due to a wildcat strike by New York State Correctional...
