Imagine for a moment that Senator Ted Cruz marched a contingent of the uniformed military into the offices of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to refute her points about Texas border detention camps…. The media headlines would be shouting: “Civilian Representative Threatened by Right Wing Manipulation and U.S. Military”, followed shortly by demands for resignations and court martial for the service members.
Alas, when the Democrats do exactly that, destroy the civilian/military oversight firewall, by weaponizing the military for political power through intimidation of a civilian representative, nothing but the sound of crickets.
Somewhere out there, someone on the leftist side of the political spectrum, thought it would be a good optic for the U.S. military to be seen marching into the congressional halls of a civilian representative. Don’t forget, this is with the approval of General Russel L Honore’ who is in charge of all national guard troops at the Capitol complex.
Oh, I have a lot more to say on this subject…. later.
marching troops down a secure hallway to intimidate your political opponents. how very fascist, benito would be clapping him on the back.
These are just kids in CUs. Not intimidating in the least. She should have come out with a big smile and done selfies with them. That would have diffused any intended bs.
I like it.
Note to moderators: I inadvertently flagged my own comment and don’t know how to reverse it?
Cheers
She wasn’t there. Maybe the Jackass Congressman brought them over without checking first or maybe he knew she was gone so she couldn’t turn it back on him and take the high ground.
One of the best things one can do is laugh at and make a joke of what the fascists do. Greene should have done just that – pictures. It reminds me of the Marlene Dietrich movie ‘The Scarlet Empress’ when the half wit Peter marched his Hussian troops up to Catherine and threatened to fire. She calmly waded into them thereby defusing the situation – while humiliating Peter.
Or better yet, a pull up competition. She rocked it on Greg Kelly’s show last night.
Yes, there was nice music playing and it appeared to be some benefit for Guam… I originally thought they were marched down the hallway in lockstep with assault rifles to threaten her on her stance on trans people, or something. This suddenly looked kinda casual and innocuous, once I actually bothered watching the video, lol.
outhouse, condoning this type of behavior is not the proper course of action. What stunt will the officers have them up to next? I don’t blame the “kids in CUs’, but the somebody in charge who thought it was cute.
WOW…..just WOW!!!
Un-freaking-believable.
We stand on the cusp of a civil war.
These idiots in camo don’t realize that they are being used as cheap props? They are in essence making themselves the enemy.
Of course they realize it. Military personnel are often used as political props, as throughout history, and they follow lawful orders from their chain of command. It’s their job.
Unlawful orders, on the other hand, are forbidden to be followed by the Constitution, especially by commissioned officers. So what should the individual service member do? Comply with the oath of enlistment, it never expires and it supersedes all other laws and regulations. Sit this one out.
But if they were Trump supporters they’d be vetted and ousted from serving there
Members of Congress are NOT in their chain of command. They’re the legislative branch, not the executive. So, those troops had no business following that idiot down that hallway.
They are NOT idiots in Camo. These men and women in uniform did as they were told. They are good people just like the rest of us. I’d bet that many of them were not happy about being made to do so. I’m sure many are just as angry they are sitting in a location where they are not militarily needed. You know, people in The Guard have regular jobs outside of the military. When they are called away from home, they are unable to be at their regular jobs. They have to find babysitters and all the other things we all do when we cannot be at home for extended periods of time. The Guard is not our enemy, let’s not lose sight of who the acting Commander-In-Chief is. He is their boss. HE, is to blame.
Do not give the RNC, RSC, RCC a penny and let them know why. I do it every time they send a mailer begging for money and any emails begging for $$. They need to know we are very angry. Give to Trumps PAC
Every time they send me a mailer, I mark big x’s on the paper and write a not-so-nice note and stuff it back in the postage-paid envelop.
I write “NEVER” over the donation amount and return in their postage-paid envelope. My congressional representative got a nasty little note on the last one. And “yes” give to Trump’s PAC. My stimulus money is being used for such PACs.
Cool. Also how about that Marjorie chick and Matt Gaetz?
We should start stuffing their envelopes with old Monopoly money. ?
They all (RNC,NRCC,NRC) text me for money daily. I texted back saying: Stop using Trump’s name for fundraising. Comply! Trump told you to Cease & Desist! I’m only giving to Trump’s Save America Super Pac! They replied with : You have been unsubscribed and will not receive any more messages. HAHAHA LOL LOL LOL
I was hoping MTG would have come out of the office and said “What do we have here? Are you afraid to come to my office without your little army to keep you company?”
I was surprised that Rep Greene hasn’t tweeted about the Gaum NG’s visit to her office or that there wasn’t a follow up visit. She is a smart and insightful woman so her decision must be based on some reasoning.
According to the usually fake and unreliable MSM she or her staff, “included the U.S. territory of Guam when listing foreign nations that she says are receiving American tax dollars.” This comment or list was allegedly made, “on Feb. 27, the second day of the annual CPAC event, in Orlando, Florida, in one of the event’s side sessions.”
If she made an understandable mistake, admitting it would not have been a big deal and if she didn’t make a mistake but one of her staffers did, then it would also not be a big deal. I think if she had met with the Guard members, it would have turned out very well for her. She has a deserved reputation of being honest and courageous; so meeting the NG and the Dem piped piper that was leading them would have been great to watch.
How far did these NG troops travel to take part in the staged event?
At least she didn’t worry Guam would til over or sink due to the numbers of US troops stationed there like that moron congress-creature from Houston, iirc.
georgia………….still an idiot from georgia hank johnson
Hank Johnson………………..that video never gets old. Congress critters can be pretty dumb but it says a lot more about the people in that district that would keep sending that nitwit back to DC.
The goal is to push for statehood for all territories.?.Guam, PR, American Samoa (who get an enormous amount of US money, and DC.
General Russel L Honore’ needs to change his last name– since he appears to have long forgotten the meaning of honor, integrity, and American patriotism. The Guam guardsmen get a pass, since they are being used as pawns in this political game of intimidation.
Perhaps, Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene could borrow some guardsmen from another state (I don’t believe the
Georgia National Guard is represented in the District of Corruption at this time) and pay a visit to Pelosi and Schumer. Turnabout is fair play, isn’t it?
President TRUMP never had troops in D.C. “to protect Congress” or anything or anyone else: can you imagine the outcry, if he had done, what the Biden Regime is doing?
Like the police, like too many others throughout History, our military seems too ready to follow orders without thinking …unless they agree with the orders.
I understand that a soldier debating the morality of an order under combat conditions is probably a dead one. But we do not have combat conditions in the halls of Congress.
We have something much more subtle than flying bullets, and insidious, and as a result such antics are nevertheless dangerous to the Republic.
So the NGs are all there for personal photo ops with their DIM compadres, to push legislation on American citizens?
So citizens are not allowed in to see their Reps or make their voices heard, that is allegedly insurrection, yet the NGs unwillingly paid for by same citizens to fake protect The Swamp are?
It’s not just Congress. Our local town halls in our area have banned citizens from coming into town government buildings. All biz is to be conducted via phone. This is what our governments at all levels have evolved to.
No more consent by the governed.
Evidently, there must have been a recent troop deployment to Guam and Mr. Honore has counseled with Rep. Hank Johnson on how best to keep Guam from tipping over. Keeping Guam NG members in DC is the apparent solution.
Honore has no honor. The Guam Representative thinks he is being cute but will rue the day when Ms. Greene returns the favor…and she will.
They were not just kids. There were some senior NCO’s in there as well who’ve been inoculated with the Kool-Aid® & know their Eval Rpt hinges on them playing along.
The little suit that led them to the office is a criminal.
Edit to add: It’s clear THEY are being allowed to visit a representative. Note that constituents cannot. Nothing says legitimacy like razor wire.
We on the ‘right’ better wake up fast. The dems are giving us clear and increasingly bolder signs of what they plan to do. Tons of free money to donors and the connected with a pittance thrown to regular Americans. New laws that make rigging elections even easier than it is now, therefore making our votes worthless. Military being weaponized against us. It is very clear what is coming at us–
POTUS Trump did not need to purge the military of bad leadership or dissolve the FBI . They are doing it to themselves and consensus will help.
We the People.
As it should be.
Let’s recall in recent history which people used military as guards, advisors, etc. Why Hussein comes to mind right off the head. Now let’s recall why he used them. To protect him and rule the classes. While the citizens starved, they were felt very well indeed. Dictators or should I use the c word?
Remember this?
Rep. Hank Johnson said he feared that stationing 8,000 Marines on Guam would cause the island to ‘become so overly populated that it will tip over and capsize.’
Did they march to HIS office to correct him?
No, they didn’t; and Russell Honore’ was a national hero when Hurricane Katrina hit NOLA in ’05 and the aftermath, got lots of media face time; remember his “stuck on stupid” comment? He’s a hero no longer, only a thug in DOD issue cammies.
Obama/Biden have destroyed America
They’re working on it. Patience.
The GOP and conservatism Inc remain silent like the good poodles they are. For Dems, what better allies?
We are officially China
I said when Bden stole the election that we’re now United States of China.
We’ve long known what the left will do with power. Now everyone else will know. The real question is how many will approve of it?
We’ve long known there are Karens out there longing for the opportunity to do what it is Karens will do and with COVID-19, they came out in force.
I don’t see “troops.” I see a lot of people in uniforms being used. I was a person in uniform, now wartime veteran. Very sad to see this… and their phones… geez. Not much in the way of military bearing.
Well, those kids are not allowed to protest while in uniform; according to the UCMJ.
And that tool leading the march is a “delegate” not a “representative or congressman”
GUAM ~ Give Us American Money
The only reason that Guam is even on the map is because of the military dollars that flow into the Naval air station, etc. Military dollars are the lifeblood of Guam. Otherise, it would just be a dot on the map with a 2rd world income. Trust me…Benn there many times.
We need red state gov’s to declare national guard in their states as state militias to protect its citizens from these out of control occupiers in communist controlled DC. Do we need any more evidence to support that statement?
Good Thought
But not a. Substitute for genuine militia people, who are joining local chapters in droves, seeing what is coming. I want both.
A reminder of what cowards the democrats are, and how very afraid they are for retribution occurring for what they have done to this country. They and the media lied about Trump for 4 years. The leftists in Twitter and Google allowed people to see and hear only what they wanted….news favorable to the left only. They fixed the election. Now, they are taking the country apart, piece by piece, in hopes of reassembling it into the new green, socialist and global utopia they all dream of. But they know they have pushed their socialist/communist agenda too far this time, so now they want military protection to be sure they cannot be stopped. These people will go down in history as traitors and liars, who tried – or will – lead us right into the next civil war.
Do not comply
The whole reason those soldiers are there in the first place is to prop up a partisan political narrative. This is just another one.
Stop stealing elections, damned traitors.
Ya’all still want your military tribunals?
The Obama military, bohica.
The gift that keeps on giving.
I’m purdy sure that’s actionable under Military law?
Look a those guys in their voodoo masks. So soft.
I love that her staff stepped out without their masks.
And it seems likely that Mr. Guam already knew the congresswoman wasn’t in. So brave to knock on the door when no one is home. What pageantry.
That music is ridiculous. The mood would change 100% if that music was replaced with a more sinister sounding track, and would put across the true oppressive and intimidating feel of what was really going on here.
I’m willing to give the Guam rep the benefit of the doubt. He is simply making the point that Guam is a US Territory like American Samoa and Puerto Rico and the Guam National Guard Troops are US citizens proudly serving in uniform. Fine.
And we all know the reason why the media is there to cover it is to further their smears against MTG.
Why the Democrats insist on keeping National Guard Troops occupying the nation’s capitol is another question altogether. Methinks it reveals knowledge of their own guilt: There may not BE a lynch mob of armed American patriots coming to tar and feather them and run them out of town on a rail. But there SHOULD be, and they know it.
Incidentally, these Guardsmen are not full time active duty troops. These are regular citizens called away from their homes, families, and jobs to serve a political props for the execrable Democrats. Send these poor people home already.
The Guam Guard is fully on board with this crap and with this crap Rep. Saw some earlier interviews of them.
There’s a more sinister aspect to this performance that is being missed. Dems in power know that the rank and file military are PDJT supporters. What better way to kowtow and intimidate these men than to force/use them to serve their misaligned political whims, etc.
This is the same tactic their FBI and DOJ operatives are using on the 1-6 protestors.
Another institution is going down.
What a shame as the American military was one of the best opportunities for lower income kids to get meaningful training and education they need to change the trajectory of their lives.
Why are these people allowed to use brave soldiers as some sort of political militia? That is exactly how the SS got started in Nazi Germany.
From the “For What It’s Worth” department, I have placed a call to my representative, 3rd district representative Drew Ferguson, Ga. asking why the Congressional rep from Guam was allowed to march or bring Guams NG troops to Rep Green’s office. The representative at the local office said he would forward my question to the DC office and they would be contacting me. I will update this when I get an answer.
I suggest others do the same !!!
what with the masked banditos? really?
The FBI is persecuting some 500 patriots with felony charges for doing LESS than what these guard troops and their Congressman just did. They actually DID attempt to confront a sitting member of Congress.
They’re now hiring corrupt police too, spouting liberal nonsense and escalating situations. Young guys who don’t even bother to know the law and just try to sound liberal. Like a college kid does. Obviously the right thing to do is de-escalate and not insert yourself in a judges place. And just be there to help the public who ARE law abiding.
And then DA’s aren’t letting police arrest illegals for many crimes including causing accidents so the guys who have been on the force long enough to know better just have their hands tied by corrupt DA’s.
Intentional break down.
And liberal lilly white priveleged so called church’s are just being attrocious struggle sessions and lie promoting.
One poster said don’t give money to your church if it’s liberal which sounds smart to me.
Amazon and the chain businesses are going full Communist too, putting big money into China.
The public is funding our demise everywhere.
Try to support anything good that you can. There is always some way to be part of the solution. Like bailing on anything liberal or Commie.
It’s the short game AND the long game for our kids so find anything positive each day and never give in to any kind of fear or evil. God bless.
Honore has to be asked to step down now. This is unacceptable to put it mildly. If this isn’t stopped immediately, we will have hell to pay.
Did anyone catch the part of the audio when the Guam rep said that those were his bodyguards to keep him safe?
WTG (What The Goons) ? Is Guam Sinking !?
Try G0BDEM Georgia DEMbo Hank Johnson’s for Jejune buggery HELLARITY, ewe San Nicolas, Michael Franklin Quitugua (FQ) : FQ, InDeed !
This never gets old…………………
It is a possibility that there is too much being read into this scene, i.e., that it was purely to ambush MTG? “Killing her with kindness and cookies,” perhaps? If so, did the Dem organizer go through the available troops before hand to recruit the party dissidents among the NG who would go along with the plan? How do we know that there weren’t patriots in this group who were thrilled to meet the firebrand MTG? I’ll leave the question marks out to hang until I hear CTH post “more on this subject.”
Taylor’s a young, stupid kid. I would fire his ass. This is not right. Ambush.
If they (NG) were on the clock, they should be fired, too.
I have written my state House rep. I am livid.
Awesome. Everyone needs to do the same. Even if you live in a liberal hellhole.
CTH seem surprisingly not so interested about WHERE the state National Guard soldiers for Washington DC are actually coming from.
Here’s an updated source: https://www.chicagotribune.com/nation-world/ct-aud-nw-national-guard-troops-leaving-dc-20210312-blq6z7u3gnbbtk6y762nzwtfqy-story.html
8 States (Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Missouri and Ohio )— have forces already on Capitol Hill and have agreed to continue for the next 2 months.
3 States (New Jersey, Washington and Wisconsin ) do not currently, but will for the next 2 months.
1 State (Michigan) will now send all soldiers home.
Everybody OK with this plan?
Don’t know where the soldiers going to Rep. Greene’s office came from…
So we need media. FOX noise will never count of course.
Our military CANNOT be used against civilian leadership. That can be taken up at the Supreme Court as soon as we get a real one.
You’re supposed to have this kind of stuff broadcast and I haven’t heard about it anywhere.
This is chick is getting the full Trump treatment and needs some donations and emails and calls of support so she knows we know what she is going through on our behalf, for her family and ours.
Why do the Republican representatives allow this abuse? Their silence is assumed as assent.
They are just as responsible as the Left. How is it possible that all Republicans are corrupt? Is President Trump the only patriot willing to serve in government?!
The Democrat Junta flexes its muscles. All we need now is for REMFs like Alexander Vindman to show up in dress uniforms with chests full of medals. Oh wait…
There is no honor in Honore’. He has politicized his uniform and that is a violation of the UCMJ. As a once proud veteran, I’m now utterly embarrassed by what the US military has devolved to.
My question is how did she react? I wouldn’t think she’d be intimidated. Hopefully, she turned the tables on that idiot and shamed him.
Democrats ; One sick Party ; Out to destroy and Change this Nation for the Worse ; Totalitarianism For Sure . !
