With all of the flooding in Texas the need for every State\u2019s National Guard is, or should be, obvious.  That the President is wasting time, money and effort on a \u201cShow of Force\u201d is not is not only sad but criminal. It is also something that every American should be taking notice of and commenting about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I can understand why Pres. Trump and his #1 adviser, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Stephen_Miller_(advisor)\">Stephen Miller<\/a>, are more interested in what is being shown; I am not sure who wants what.  Is it Pres. Trump or Stephen Miller who just want the flashy show or the \u201cshow of force\u201d.  Is the purpose to give the MAGA Masses their Gladiatorial Games, is it to instill fear in the lesser masses?  Or both?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think it is particularly ominous that this failure of a raid comes only a few days after the opening our first purpose build Detainment Camp.  BTW, does anyone else think it just a bit odd that when it was first opened <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Dachau_concentration_camp\">Dachau<\/a> was called a \u201cDetainment Camp\u201d?  I wonder how long before the \u201cNatural\u201d deaths start?  It is , I I have said about time for every American to speak out, as loudly as possible. If all you can do is talk to your friends and neighbors, talk. If all you can do is comment on line, comment on line, talk to your congressman.  This goes for those who have Republican Reps and Senators.  Tell them what you think and what you want them to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I say this to every Republican out there, \u201cIt is time for you to come to the Aid of your Party\u201d.  If you don\u2019t do something to change what your party is doing the Republicans will go down in history like the \u201cNational Socialist party of Germany\u201d.  The time is now. Take action or be like the Germans of 1946.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I usually try to wait a few days when something like this happens but this needs to be dealt with NOW.
