They're shutting down the Federal government. What are they sleep walking into now.

Senator Ted Cruz: 'How about we all come together and say lets stop attacking peadophiles?'

Here’s a little reminder for you all given that Farage has taken to playing the victim card…

Oops, Cruz accidentally letting slip what Trump has directed them to do.

Farage made it incredibly obvious that he has US backers in his speech yesterday given he mentioned Charlie Kirk and ANTIFA.

Has absolutely nothing to do with us, and I hate how we constantly import American issues over here on both the left and right.

Trump at Hegseth's hastily arranged meeting of US military leaders:

"If you don't like what I'm saying, you can leave the room. Of course, there goes your rank, there goes your future, but you just feel nice and loose...

"Defending the homeland is the military's first and most important priority. That's what it is...

"Only in recent decades did politicians somehow come to believe that our job is to police the far reaches of Kenya and Somalia, while America is under invasion from within.

“We’re under invasion from within. No different than a foreign enemy but more difficult in many ways because they don’t wear uniforms...

"It seems that the ones [cities] that are run by the radical left Democrats, what they've done to San Francisco, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, they're very unsafe places. And we're going to straighten them out one by one. This is going to be a major part for some of the people in this room. That’s a war too. It’s a war from within...”

“It's really a very important mission. And I told Pete, we should use some of these dangerous cities as training grounds for our military National Guard, but military, because we're going into Chicago very soon...

"And so you look at some of the things where they took over parts of Seattle. They actually took over a big percentage of Seattle... And I sent in the troops and they were gone as soon as I sent them in. Oh, when we send in the troops, if you have a real leader that says you're going to do what you have to do...

"They're spitting at them [National Guard] and they're screaming at them. And that soldier standing there, he wants to knock the hell out of the person, but he's not allowed to do anything. So they just stand there and they get abused. And a woman was this far away from his face and she starts spitting in his face and he's not allowed to do anything... If it's OK with you generals and admirals, I've taken that off. I say, they spit, we hit. Is that OK?"

In summary:

- The US is "under invasion from within" and is at "war" on its own territory
- The military should use US cities as training grounds
- The National Guard/military should respond with force against citizens who show it disrespect
- Any military leaders who don't support Trump's approach can expect to be removed

That’s just mental Dictator stuff.

Any clips I've seen of the National Guard in these cities is just them walking around tourist hotspots and the main city centres. They're not actually going to the areas you'd find the 'criminals' so to speak.

Like they're not patrolling areas with huge gang violence or anything like that, so I don't really know what they're supposed to be achieving besides from looking tough.

I saw a video yesterday of Police, wearing full camouflage fatigues… in a city centre.

It’s just so funny to me and peak small d!ck energy.

I posted an article yesterday reporting National Guardsman in US cities having nothing to do, saying they're bored and being deployed to litter pick.

Welsh you read about this?

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cj6xwy015ngo

"Reform UK's former leader in Wales has admitted taking bribes to make statements in favour of Russia while being a Member of the European Parliament."

They’re just gearing them up for when they suspend the next election and the he rioting starts.

I think he's looking for any excuse to shut down (or at least control) the midterms, knowing that otherwise, his control of Congress is gone.

He's hoping that in at least one of these Democrat-controlled cities, the National Guard/military can provoke from a No Kings protest some kind of response "justifying" an aggressive escalation.

Then he'll argue that his rhetoric about being "at war" on US territory has been proven correct and that the midterms will need to be policed by the military or can't take place safely in certain places or some such similar bullshiiiiit.

What was the other one?

It won't be that bad and nothing to worry about.

"When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty."

“When the very richest in society don’t want to pay tax, there is the American Republic.”

Also Thomas Jefferson.

Meantime a load of free-speech advocates are jetting off to take part in a comedy festival in Saudi Arabia.

Disappointing.

That's amazing news

It isn't an end point - more obviously needs to be done to tackle air pollution - but we're talking about hundreds of thousands of lives being extended, countless kids living within the M25 being saved from horrific and painful respiratory issues and diseases later in life, a healthier workforce, one strain on the NHS being ameliorated, and a win for the environment.

Bold, brave policymaking which is delivering for the nation, and it should be both celebrated and championed as an example.

Will she or her husband receive a criminal conviction or do any time for this?

Being told to pay back the exact amount stolen, with a bit of interest, seems a bit of a let off IMO.

They’ve not really broken the law, and I’d be more interested in arresting whoever recommended them for the Tories ‘VIP’ lane.
