[TRENDINGPOLITICS] The unprecedented militarization of the nation’s capital has once again been extended with the Pentagon authorizing the presence of National Guard boots on the ground until at least late May.On Tuesday, Secretary Of Defense Lloyd Austin agreed to keep 2,300 troops in Washington D.C. citing a support mission at the request of U.S. Capitol police; the number represents a further reduction from the 20,000 + National Guard members who were deployed under the pretense of protecting politicians from an "armed insurrection" that never occurred.
The announcement comes nearly a week after the House canceled scheduled votes citing intelligence over a "possible plot to breach the Capitol by an identified militia group," another false alarm that Democrats have used to justify the need for sweeping new domestic terrorism laws in which potential threats could be so vaguely defined so that legitimate political activity could be targeted.
According to a Pentagon statement: "This decision was made after a thorough review of the request and after close consideration of its potential impact on readiness," and that Defense Department officials would work with Capitol police to "incrementally reduce the National Guard footprint as conditions allow."
Next step will be to create an Elite Republican Guard® with extra tassels on their uniforms and different colored berets...
