IMPORTANT: Stop calling the troops in LA National Guard Troops. They are not. When Trump activated them against the wishes of the Gov they became FEDERAL troops… like the 82nd airborne with no Law enforcement power! Don’t let them confuse you!

Want a pardon from Trump? Flatter him publicly, loudly and often. It worked for Todd and Julie Chrisley—reality stars turned convicted fraudsters—who were pardoned this week. Contrarian culture writer Meredith Blake explains the MAGA-fueled charm offensive.

Phang: If you have to resort to deceit to get something done, that tells me what you’re doing is wrong. What’s happening is a dup-and-scoop: people are being duped into going to court, their cases get dismissed, and then they’re scooped up by ICE and deported under expedited removal.
