President Donald Trump is directing Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to send U.S. troops to Portland, he said Saturday on Truth Social, making the extraordinary pronouncement that he is greenlighting the use of “Full Force, if necessary” in an American city. “At the request of Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, I am directing Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, to provide all necessary Troops to protect War ravaged Portland, and any of our ICE Facilities under siege from attack by Antifa, and other domestic terrorists,” he wrote.“
I really have my doubts about us having free and fair elections anymore. Guess we’ll see with the midterms but if he’s willing to go to war with blue states and republicans shrug it off then what’s going to stop him in 2028?
Sort of sad that you see Trump as a father figure Lothar. I see him for the unpopular wannabe authoritarian that he is. Epstein’s best friend and convicted felon.

Sort of sad that you don't see Trump is doing a tremendous job rebuilding the country your Democrat-Bolshevik party spent the last 16 years destroying, and in terms of rebuilding the country economically, militarily, and setting us on a path of growth and technological development for the next 100 years as the global leader. He is on a path, if not already, the greatest, most efficient, and forward-thinking president in a century. Not since Ronald Reagan have we seen such a resurgence of the country.
I'm content to call him one of the most effective leaders of our time. But if he wanted us to, I'd call him "daddy" .
Liberals who bemoan discrimination, intolerance, restraint of Constitutional freedoms, and promotion of hatred toward various abberant minorities, have absolutely no problem with discriminating against, being intolerant of, restricting Constitutional freedoms of, and directing hate-filled scapegoat rhetoric against conservatives.
EXACTLY what they accuse Republicans/conservatives of doing, is EXACTLY what liberals/Democrats do themselves, to those who oppose their beliefs.
Definitely one of the best-looking White House press secretaries.
Dana Perino and Kayleigh McEnany were also both very pretty and articulate. McEnany was the absolute best at her job. She not only answered questions, but anticipated the biased liberal media's gotcha questions, had very prepared answers to them, showed why the premise of the reporters' questions were distorted and off-base, and made them look as unprepared, biased and stupid as they were for asking them. She just awed me with how she could read their minds.
Democratic Michigan Sen. Elissa Slotkin posted a video to social media Tuesday morning in which she and five of her congressional colleagues called for the military and the intelligence community to “stand up” to President Donald Trump’s administration.
The half-dozen Democratic lawmakers who took part in the video titled, “Don’t give up the ship,” had all served as military or intelligence officers. In her X post of the video, Slotkin stated the lawmakers seek to “directly” tell service members and intelligence personnel that the “American people need you to stand up for our laws and our Constitution.”
“We know you are under enormous stress and pressure right now,” Slotkin, a former CIA officer, said in the video she appeared in alongside Democratic Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly, Democratic Pennsylvania Reps. Chris Deluzio and Chrissy Houlahan, Democratic New Hampshire Rep. Maggie Goodlander and Democratic Colorado Rep. Jason Crow.
“Americans trust their military,” said Houlahan, a former Air Force officer.
“But that trust is at risk,” added Deluzio, a former officer in the Navy.
“This administration is pitting our uniformed military and intelligence community professionals against American citizens,” Kelly, a former Navy officer, said in tandem with Crow, a former Army officer, and Slotkin. (RELATED: ‘Dismay And Disgust’: Federal Judge Resigns, Blasting ‘Existential Threat’ Trump Over ‘Angry Attacks On The Courts’)
“Our laws are clear. You can refuse illegal orders. You can refuse illegal orders. You must refuse illegal orders,” Kelly, Slotkin and Deluzio said later in the video.
“Like us, you all swore an oath to protect and defend this Constitution,” Kelly and Goodlander, a former naval intelligence officer who is married to Biden-era former national security adviser Jake Sullivan, charged military and intelligence personnel.
Deluzio and Crow claimed that “threats to our Constitution aren’t just coming from abroad, but from right here at home.”
The lawmakers added that they know that what they are urging is “hard” and that “it is a difficult time to be a public servant.”
“But whether you are serving in the CIA, the Army, our Navy, the Air Force, your vigilance is critical. And know that we have your back,” they continued, alternating lines. “Because now more than ever, the American people need you. We need you to stand up for our laws, our Constitution, and who we are as Americans.”
“Don’t give up, don’t give up, don’t give up, don’t give up the ship,” the Democrats concluded.
Article II, Section 2 of the Constitution states that the president is the commander-in-chief of the armed forces. The president is also in charge of intelligence agencies such as the FBI and CIA, by virtue of being head of the Executive Branch of the federal government — a responsibility laid out in Article II, Section 1.
“Don’t give up the ship” is a common phrase that dates back to the War of 1812 and were the last words uttered by Navy Captain James Lawrence before he succumbed to his gunshot wound on the USS Chesapeake.
Nothing says "I love the United States, and respect its laws and Constitution" like Democrats making up fake narratives and inciting treason and violent revolution. Based on ZERO cited examples where Trump allegedly did anything wrong.
Should they have disobeyed orders when Trump sent them to bomb Iranian nuclear weapons facilities? Should they disobey orders when Trump sends Border Patrol and ICE to secure the border and round up previously convicted criminals, that have multiple times re-entered the country to commit even more crimes against Americans, and against LEGAL green-card immigrants? Should they disobey because they are ordered to uphold 250 years of U.S. immigration law and border security? Where illegals, as part of their debt to the cartels, are obligated to participate in drug trafficking and other drug cartel crimes in the U.S.? Where illegals are specifically accused of crimes, and a judge in each case approved and signed a warrant for their arrest and deportation?
You can guess what I think should happen to these legislators. Their incitement of violence and revolution rises to the level of censure and removal from Congress.
Score another blow for the Democrat-Bolshevik party.
I’m responding to your post in a more suitable thread. They’re asking for our military and public servants to stand up for our laws and the constitution. I can understand how that is a threat to Trump and his followers.
Actually, President Trump is saving the country from the one-party Democrat Bolsheviks, who OPENLY WORSHIP authoritarian communism (or when they try to fool the masses , call themselves "socialists", or "Democratic Socialists". But we all know from since at least the era Vladimir Lenin that "The goal of socialism is communism." )
Who do you think you are fooling, M E M? Your side only TALKS about "freedom" and "democracy", they don't actually pracice or defend it, they only give it lip service. In point of fact, Democrats despise this country, its people, its history, and are constantly scheming new ways to circumnavigate our Constitutional checks and balances, so they can establish an authoritarian one-party Democrat-Bolshevik system, where they have marginalized and silenced and rigged the system so they can never lose power, and can begin the weaponization of government against any remaining dissent, to intimidate them, legally crush them, and to imprison any political opposition (as we saw during the Covidd lockdown, wtih about 1,600 Jan 6th prisoners thrown in jail for over 2 years without even a trial.) Democrat-Bolsheviks openly talk abou what they will do to establish auhoritarian power, to rule for decades wihout the slighest possibility of a challenge to their power.
I've quoted Democras repeatedly here for 20 years. Not a few crazies on the fringe, but the core Democrat leadership mainstream, and at this point pretty much the entire Democrat-Bolshevik party. When they don't openly admit it, it is only because they are trying to fool the public, to get re-elected.
Bill and Hillary Clinton are cultural marxists. Barack and Michelle Obama are cultural marxists. And Joe Biden is not a Marxist (if he is lucid a all), but was always for 50 years openly willing to sell out his country to the highest bidder, including to Putin's Russia, to Communist China, to the corrupt Ukrainian government, all of which is documented in the contents of Hunter Biden's laptop, and in bank records of Biden shell corporation accounts, and payments to 9 Biden family members.
And not jus he Clinons and Obamas, but virtually everyone who served in their Democrat-Bolshevik administrations.
From the Bidens to the Clintons to Bernie Sanders to Elizabeh Warren to A O-C , to "Commie" Mamdani on down, your party is immersed in authoritarian communists. they despise the Constitution, the country, they despise this country's history, despise the American people, that they regard as contemptuous, and obstacles to their seizure of power, that hey would replace with non-whie marxist-socialist America hating immiigrants. And both hese immigrants, and those domestically in the U.S. hey have indoctrinated to a marxist/anti-American point of view.
What many Democrats, including James Carville in just the last week, have openly said Democrats will do if they seize power :
1) They want to expand he U S Supreme Court from 9 to 13 justices, to eclipse the conservative Constitutionalists on the court, in an ocean of rubber-stamp Democrat Socialist apparatchiks like Sonya Sotomayor and Kitanji Brown-Jackson. Forget that annoying Constiuttion you are supposed to defend as a U S S C justice, just use the court as a rubber stamp to circumnavigate the Consitution, and establish the new authoritarian socialist order.
2) They want to make Washington DC a state (despite that it was specifically created NOT to be a state, and not to be a part of any state). And make Puerto Rico a state (despite that it doesn't comply with the basic state requirement of adopting English as its official language). All just to create 4 more guaranteed Democrat senators, to rig he Senate and give Democrats a permanent majorriy in the Senate.
3) Democrats want to end the filibuster, to further marginalize a Republican minority from having any voice in policy and check on Democrat-Bolshevik power (Trump and some Republicans want to keep he filibuster, but are talking about ending the filibuster pre-emptively first, before Democrats can end it as they have openly said they will do at the first chance, to enact pro-U.S. changes before the Democrats can seize power and do what they have long openly said they would do.
4) Democras wan to take away state power over elecions, so that in the future when Democrats rig elections (as they did in 1960 and in 2020) , the Republicans will not even be able o challenge a rigged and unfair election.
Among other Democrat-Bolshevik craziness, and authoritarian destruction of Consitutional checks on power.
What part of this Democrat fanaticism sounds like "defending democracy", M E M?
Your side openly worships the Soviet Union, Communist China, Cuba, Nicaragua, Hugo Chaves' takeover of Venezuela, and Saul Alinsky (both the Clintons and the Obamas, and those in their administrations). RON BLOOM, serving in the Obama administration at a press conference: "We agree with Mao, that power is mostly administered at the barrel of a gun, and that capitalism is mosly a sham."
Does THAT sound like "defending Democracy", M E M? No, it sounds like those who worship Marxist authoriarian power taking the pro-American mask off and saying the truth for the first time, because they feel emboldened that the American people can no longer stop them.
It is your party, M E M, that tears down statues of Washington, Jefferson, and Lincoln and other historic figures nationwide, paints Soviet-style hammer and sickle symbols on them and on surrounding walls, urinates on them, burns them, and breaks hem apart. And not one Democrat Senator or House member, not one former Democrat president or Democrat former cabinet member, condemns this.
Democrats worship European socialism, and constantly cite it as "better" than our oh-so-barbaric Consitutional republic and capitalist system, that Democrats want to abolish and replace with a European style system. They worship China and its authoritarian power, their ability to "get things done" without all this pesky free speech and public debate and consent of the governed.
Democrat-Bolsheviks in 2009, by Obama himself, tried to shut down Fox News as "not a real news agency". And have successfully almost completely shut down OAN in 2023. And tried to shut down Newsmax in 2023, taken off the air for abou 4 months, before subscribers demanded its return, and the Democrat-Bolsshevik executtives att Direct TV and its parent company finally caved in and brought it back. In spite of the effort for Democrat-Bolsheviks to shut them down.
In each case, to "de-platform" them from giving a television forum to conservative news and free speech. That is all three, every conservative news network, that Democrats have tried to shut down. To completely silence and cut off the conservative / Republican half of the country. .
Democrats weaponized the DOJ and FBI to spy on the Trump campaign and pretty much everyone in it. Democrats have intimidated Republican conservatives and Trump supporters since 2008, used the IRS to maliciously audit and deny 501 tax status to thousands of Republican individuals and groups, Tea Party and grassroots religious conservaive groups, to suppress and intimidate them before the 2010 and 2012 elections.
Democrats furher faked FISA Court evidence to get warrants to spy on everyone in the Trump campaign in 2016-2017. How is that any different from Watergate? And actually much worse. They tried to scuttle the Trump campaign in 2016 and block his election. And then they used FBI, DOJ, CIA, and IRS to attempt to overthrow an elected administration, from Jan 2017 unil righ up till his las day in office in Jan 2021 . And further abused FBI and DOJ in an attempt to prevent Trump's re-election in 2023-2024. And ongoing in 2025, every partisan Democrat judge making rulings just to impede and cripple Trump as president, and no conscience about damaging American sovereignty and political stability in doing so.
How can you NOT see this massive ongoing Democrat corruption and abuse of power on multiple fronts, over more than 10 years? And NOT see that the Democrat party is what truly threatens this country, NOT Trump ?
Liberals who bemoan discrimination, intolerance, restraint of Constitutional freedoms, and promotion of hatred toward various abberant minorities, have absolutely no problem with discriminating against, being intolerant of, restricting Constitutional freedoms of, and directing hate-filled scapegoat rhetoric against conservatives.
EXACTLY what they accuse Republicans/conservatives of doing, is EXACTLY what liberals/Democrats do themselves, to those who oppose their beliefs.
You are a fool if you think anyone buys the Trump bs. The orange pos just threatened elected officials who are veterans with death because they cut a video urging military not to follow UNLAWFUL orders. I will be celebrating when the garbage is taken out of the WH and thrown into jail. Looking at his approval rating I won’t have to wait for the end of his term.
I don't see any facts or logic to back up your Democrat-Bolshevik lying talking points.
Whereas I can, and have on many occasions here in the past, quoted chapter and verse at least 50 high-level Democrats in the Senate and House, and serving in the Clinton, Obama and Biden administrations how they worship communist leaders and ideology and the likes of Saul Alinsky, and rely on deception at every turn for decades, to bamboozle dupes like you who believe their lying propaganda. Or who are pure-evil Marxist to the core, and willingly serve the globalist-bolshevik revolution, to overthrow and destroy the United States.
And THAT is why you attack Trump and his supporters with such relentless hate. Because he is exposing and taking down Democrats' massive fraud and authoritarian over-reach, like no one ever has before.
The United States was dying, and Trump once again made it the best, most free, and most economically and militarily powerful nation in the world.
