DOD Support to Federal Law Enforcement at the Southwest Border



DOD just provided a simple answer to the question of whether U.S. military troops will be conducting law enforcement activities on the Mexican border. They will not, but they will provide force protection for federal law enforcement personnel. For example, riot control.

This is nothing new. We trained at riot control formations way back in my own Military Police days, when Reagan was President and there were still vivid memories of Army support to domestic law enforcement during the riots of the '60s and '70s.

TSB:Former British Ambassador Craig Murray comments on the latest US/UK story that ties Manafort to Julian Assange. The point is that no facts are needed to destroy anyone who dares tell the truth. Manafort didn't meet Assange or his name would be in the embassy logbook. gwb https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-11-29/pcr-fumes-there-no-case-against-assange-so-lies-replace-evidence

That breathless breaking news report "Manafort Met Assange" was a perfect example of how news media are now reporting what they wish had happened versus (the much less exciting) what they can prove happened. If I had my way, we'd do away with all press conferences and news organizations and just turn everything into a twitter feed. Today you can get immediate original-source info direct from the actual generators of news, so the mediator-type role played by CNN, et al, is just obsolete and unnecessary when it isn't actually misleading.

TSB:Terry McAuliffe’s ‘Get Rich Quick’ Scam Goes Bust Terry and the Clintons are quite the business experts. Money for access and Visa's for Chinese spies. He should be a top candidate for President in 2020 if he can avoid jail before then. Just in time to lead the "recovery' after the great stock crash of 2019. He could put Hillary in charge of bailing out the banks.
gwb Biden will still be "thinking about it" and praying for $$$. I'll be voting for Bernie.
Great story!
