Krasnov wants more DHS militarism in L.A. with a National Guard activation? [1]

In downtown Los Angeles on Friday, the streets swelled with protesters, and buildings and vehicles were vandalized with spray paint. Some people threw objects at federal agents, who then responded with flash-bang grenades. This week, agents arrested nearly 120 people, federal officials said. But processing those arrests was delayed because of the protests. www.nytimes.com/...

Stephen Miller's time to shine with the National Guard in L.A. as Revanchism for the son of Santa Monica, in the LA basin, as Trump yaks about federalizing the California National Guard to put down another imaginary ‘uprising’. The goal is growing more chaos to draw attention from the massive White House / Congressional GOP grifting operation in favor of America’s wealthy.

Trump’s objectives are not unlike the 2020 George Floyd demonstrations in Portland Oregon against BLM. This time it’s migrants, with children serving as the ‘criminal migrants’ to be returned to countries they hardly know.

More troubling is apparent trouble in paradise for Stephen and Katie Miller’s family, which is also not an insurrection.

Senior White House aide Stephen Miller, an immigration hardliner, described the protests as a “violent insurrection.” The administration has not invoked the Insurrection Act, two U.S. officials told Reuters on condition of anonymity. One said that National Guard troops can deploy quickly, within 24 hours in some cases, and that the military was working to source the 2,000 troops. The 1807 law empowers a president to deploy the U.S. military to enforce the law and suppress events like civil disorder. The last time it was invoked was during the 1992 Los Angeles riots at the request of the California governor. www.huffpost.com/… If Trump incites the Insurrection Act, he can take state Guard units at will. This is a weakness in that law, but nobody has ever tried to fix it. This isn’t the first time Katie Miller has found herself torn between Musk and Trump. Insiders told the Journal that tensions flared on occasions when senior White House staffers didn’t feel that Miller was doing enough to push Musk to operate in step with the rest of the administration. For many White House aides, Miller was the main point of contact for Musk and his team, but they still felt she was not sharing enough information about what the tech billionaire was doing, the Journal reported. www.thedailybeast.com/...

When/if Trump declares martial law don't forget the most effective way of disarming the National Guard.

They WANT you to riot. Don't give them the satisfaction.

Look to Czechoslovakia, and the Velvet Revolution of 1989.

Stephen Miller didn't directly mention Musk, but host Larry Kudlow, a Trump ally, assisted him in drawing this connection.

In reference to the intricacies of the law, Kudlow stated, "I don't think Elon understood that. "I prefer not to discuss that stuff. Okay, so he has $180 billion listed on his website. May he be blessed by God for that. He's been really helpful with that.” Miller grinned but remained silent. Why are Elon Musk and Stephen Miller feuding?

They're at odds over Trump's latest bill, and rumors of a personal feud involving Miller's wife have added fuel to the fire.

Did Elon Musk actually leave with Stephen Miller's wife?

Katie Miller reportedly left her government position and marriage to continue working for Musk... economictimes.indiatimes.com/… GROK: Stephen Miller’s agitation likely ties to the political and personal tensions surrounding Musk’s fallout with Trump. Katie Miller, Stephen’s wife, recently left her White House role to work for Musk, putting the couple on opposing sides of the Trump-Musk rift. Stephen has been vocal in defending Trump’s legislative agenda, like the “Big, Beautiful Bill,” against Musk’s criticisms, while avoiding direct mentions of Musk. The situation is complicated by Katie’s role as Musk’s spokesperson and her close professional ties to him, which some White House staff reportedly found frustrating, feeling she withheld information about Musk’s actions. This professional conflict, not any confirmed personal scandal, seems to be the root of Stephen Miller’s public frustration.
