Does anyone else find this a tad disturbing?

So a deep pocket GOP donor is paying for the SDNG to “deploy” to Texas. Yes there are issues at the border. BUT the NG cannot perform ANY LE duties, only support missions for CBP.

Questions arise. 1) Did the Governor of Texas request assistance from other states? I did not see where he did, but I may have missed it. And if he did request it, why not to the administration?

2) Did Governor Noem go in search of deep pockets to pay for this deployment?

3) What is the mission going to be? As the last time the NG was sent to the border, they were only doing support as allowed by law.

4) What if Jeff Bezos decided he needed NG support at an Amazon warehouse in the name of “national security” and made a big donation to the state of Virginia in order to secure a “deployment” to an Alabama warehouse?

This comes off as a paid army doing the bidding of a private citizen.

Airing the LP dirty laundry

Another ‘are you a Libertarian’ test

There are lot’s of “tests’ online, this one is as good as any, I include it simply to show that nearly everyone has some degree of agreement with libertarian principles. About 20% of people self identify as libertarian(as in ‘I’m a libertarian at heart but…) yet we can’t seem to get beyond 3% in a national election.

Michigan Republican Senate report on election fraud: there wasn’t any…as in zip, nada, zero.

“In an interview after the meeting, McBroom [Republican Senator and main author of 55 page report] said the committee has found what appears to be “potentially fraudulent activity” among some individuals who have been making false claims about the election.”

“If you are profiting by making false claims, that’s pretty much the definition of fraud,” McBroom said.

So by this Republican position, Trump and his minions who are perpetuating the election fraud lie in Michigan are committing fraud. And Trump has profited 100’s of millions from donors based on this fraud. Most of the GOP caucus that loves the ex-president are trying to “profit” by donations and campaign positions.

The Big Lie is just that. Of course Trump loyalists will believe anything the fat golfer says, so the report is going to fall on deaf ears and blind eyes. The proof? Those same Michigan Senate Republicans have proposed 39 new election laws to combat fraud. Fraud that never happened.

This is like debunking the flat earth theory, but erecting a fiancé on the horizon to keep people from falling off the edge.
