I know most of us were somewhat aware of this, but I hadn’t heard about it in a while. My cousin couldn’t tell me everything, but after I began talking to him he was surprised that I knew about the situation with the NG still being deployed. He said it’s unprecedented. Normally they would be deployed for 3 days or maybe a week at a time but it’s going on 3 years straight! He was in DC for a few months and since has been elsewhere. I think this may be something way bigger than we realize. Here’s a few interesting links. The very liberal esquire article from 2017 (before Covid was even a thought) made my ears perk explaining how Trump could circumvent the Posse Commitatis Act and convince states to federalize NG units. Did Trump use Covid to his benefit in order to convince some state Governors to federalize their own NG units?? May be worth some digging. If I’m wrong or off base on this please let me know as I do not know all the background info on how the NG operates. Thanks frens.

My son was in the NG until they told him to turn in his gear and don't come back because he wouldn't take the jab. They also wanted him to be deployed out of country this summer but because he said no to the jab he wasn't deployable. He said he still hasn't heard anything from them and it's been a few months since being kicked out, no papers saying he's no longer in. He did get a call about a month ago asking him if he was interested in getting the new booster jab, he said "no", lol. So I'm thinking he is technically still in the guard because they called him about getting the jab, just not allowed to be apart of them.
I asked him about if the NG has been deployed/active (Federally) since Jan. 2021 and he said yes, but not all were, only certain MOS's.
But allowed to be apart from them.
