Yes, when deployed to Washington D.C. for security purposes, National Guard troops can be armed with lethal weapons, including loaded weapons. Specifically, troops protecting the Capitol building complex are equipped with weapons and ammunition. While it's reported that troops typically deploy with sidearms like the M-9, they also carry other equipment like body armor and helmets. However, the decision to arm them with loaded weapons is made based on specific threats and requests from law enforcement and federal authorities.
Trump needs to finish “fixing things up” in the rest of the country, starting with freeing Tina Peters. Throw those idiots in CO in jail. Investigate governors in PA and IL for fraud and conspiracy. Deport the idiot in NY to prevent his rise in power.
Newsom needs to be investigated for racketeering as a minimum………
Let’s GO
After Sept 11, 2001 there was no crime on the streets. Cameras everywhere, military on each corner, black sedans parked on streets, corners, near parks. It was frightening to see the need for all that security but it was safe.
A friend of my daughter's in a DC college called for a taxi to take her to the airport at 530 am. A taxi pulled up, she got in and within a few minutes the car was stopped by the police. They removed her from the car and put her in another taxi. They arrested the driver. It was a decoy taxi and was meant to kidnap her. Crime was still in DC but it was safer because all the security everywhere.
I am happy Trump is going to clean up this city. Democrats have allowed this city to go to the dogs.
You could be spot on...this is all I've found so far...
Q's pics today seem to be a few seconds after the feb pic. In the feb pic they are crossing the street, reaching the median. In today's pic they have crossed the median and have begun crossing the street
Lately, in driving down my town's main drag, I've noticed the median is now marked by a central curb on which is mounted a continuous barrier iron fence about 6 feet tall. "What the heck?" I thought. And then it hit me: this is a way to prevent people from jaywalking across 6 lanes of traffic in order to not go to the nearest crosswalk. Frankly, I approve. Jaywalking is a 200-pound bet against 4,000-pound machines.
This is to get the National Guard in place in preparation for the arrests that will soon follow. Im gonna keep an eye out for similar Guard movement in other major cities in the guise of crime prevention/immigration control. Did they ever leave L.A. or are they still there?
We arent that far off now. Friday could be a big day.
"Attorney General Pam Bondi, who's fantastic, is taking control of the Metropolitan Police as of this moment. I will make the appropriate notifications to Congress..."
Mayor Bowser said Trump's move was unsettling and unprecedented. Well, surprise, surprise, she should have taken better care of DC when she was in charge. Now our great president has the National Guard there, FBI, and the local PD. Bowser had her chance-now she has to pay the piper.

Just heard some guy they had on the BBC news complaining that the crime rates being cited as the reason for Trump maneuver are from 2023. They would rather continue whatever crime rate is happening than letting Trump do something about it. TDS is such a sorry illness!
It's interesting for me to hear about all this, I'm surprised this is even a thing in DC. I visited early in Trump's first term and things were pretty nice as far as I was concerned. Clean, felt safe. We seen DC police all over the place. I'm assuming things took a wild turn since then?
YES! LOVE her! ❤️ Did you see her rush to the Podium to answer a question and then she stopped and looked at POTUS to ask, do you want me to answer this? As she was answering POTUS was standing behind her smiling like a proud Parent! Kek!
As someone who's lived in for 30 years (and felt pretty much trapped the last 10 of those, but that changes in 2026) in the Peoples' Republic of Northern Virginia, about 15 miles south of this shithole...while this likely plays a part in a larger plan I'm not aware of, there's precious little I ever want to see again, let alone save, in the District. I commuted downtown for 17 years and vowed I'd cross the Potomac as few times as possible once I got a job in NoVA. Yes, there's tons of our country's history based in the District...I just don't ever care to go visit again, even being this close.
We do, J1D, and TY -- we're mostly safe, because we don't go downtown. ;) Again, I hope POTUS has good luck cleaning up that mess...but in a city that votes 94% liberal, it will be an uphill battle.
He said DC would be “liberated”. What an interesting choice of words.
Yes Indeed! 💥
And nothing that man says or does is unintentional / accidental......
Exactly Gale!
👌🐸🙌🔥
Its owned by a foreign corp.
He took control of the DCPD within the first few seconds via invoking Section 40 of the Home Rule Act...
Something BIG must be here because he didnt waste a second in doing this, and his tone was shooting daggers.
YES! POTUS came out spitting FIRE! 🔥
Absolute legislative fire! 🔥
YES! 💥
Well the guard is occupying a foreign possession.
I found this...

Somebody needs to let AOC know that these supplemental troops aren't coming to rape her.
You crack me up Mama! 👏😸

Looking forward to this happening.
Last visit there, it was noticeable how much it has degraded in terms of cleanliness and crime.
Didn't feel as safe walking around as it was just a few years ago.
Me, too...the last time we were there was 2007
I'd love to take my kids there like my dad with me and my brothers. Just no way am I doing it until it's safe.
Agreed fren...

Wow...thanks for sharing this story barbie! Scary!
I have never heard of this. Truly scary.
He keeps saying the word "median" ( the road central reservation ). Is it comms?
You could be spot on...this is all I've found so far...

I have not seen any median strips falling apart. This was confusing. So....
Lately, in driving down my town's main drag, I've noticed the median is now marked by a central curb on which is mounted a continuous barrier iron fence about 6 feet tall. "What the heck?" I thought. And then it hit me: this is a way to prevent people from jaywalking across 6 lanes of traffic in order to not go to the nearest crosswalk. Frankly, I approve. Jaywalking is a 200-pound bet against 4,000-pound machines.
Well....
Doesn't this mean the Q plan is pretty much at the climax?
The three movies finally playing all at once.
Normies focusing on Epstein. They are watching Guardians of the Pedophiles
Anons focusing on Obama and the doj arrests incoming. We are watching Fisagate
And now Trump taking the dcpd and setting the stage in DC. The deep state Is watching Panic in DC
The movies have all officially started.
This is a crushing boom to the DemoLibs. And now they can’t protest in DC using ANTIFA. This is awesome!
It's GLORIOUS Brent! We'll use their tears to salt our popcorn! 😸💦🍿
Your comments never fail to make me smile Joys1Daughter🫶
Awe...thanks Mimi! 🤗 Love your name! ✨💕

Agreed LTL...
Before POTUS departs on Friday he will be sending an important message via Twitter. God bless.

As of now, approximately 250 California National Guard members remain stationed in Los Angeles.
So NG is in Washington and LA. Keeping my eye on the NG.
Good to know jhartz...thanks!
I wonder...
If somehow:
DC is no longer a foreign territory
We, the People, are no longer "US Citizens" who reside in DC via our ZIP codes etc - Was there a Status change made for all of us?
If #2 is true (status change) - that could mean as a non-resident (of DC now) that we're no longer on the hook for income taxes...
Just joggin the noggin... sorry no sauce other than the bitter sludge between my ears...

All Great thoughts! Guess we'll have to see what happens...

Liberation: The act of setting someone free from imprisonment, slavery, or oppression, release.
Freedom from limits on thought and behavior.
Absolutely bopper!
Will he mention Seth Rich? Do it!
Seth reveal may come later...
May he RIP. I pray that ALL the Seth Rich info comes out soon.
Yes...💔🤬🙏
WISH HE WOULD!

I saw her press conference... she's on the defense with the best talking points they could manage...😸
Thanks proforma for the link!
Not a problem fren.
😺
Thanks mod frens! 🫡

Thanks for the info fren! They are pathetic!
"I've done this for years now and never seen this room so packed. I'm sure we're in violation of every fire code!" Room cracks up! 😸
POTUS takes questions 11:22 ET...
Muriel Bowser says deploying the National Guard is not the "best use".
PANIC MUCH MURIEL??
"We are not going to lose our Cities to crime."
"We're getting rid of the slums."
"We will bring in the Military if needed"
"If the Capital is dirty, the whole Country is DIRTY." 💥
There is a superficial meaning, and a deeper meaning.
Absolutely ksr!
"They are spitting in the faces if Law Enforcement. I told them: YOU SPIT, WE HIT!"
POTUS is placing D C. Police under Federal Control.
First step.
POTUS Deploys National Guard to tame D.C. Crime.

ps- Kash is short lol.
Yes, but it was destroyed during the past 4 years.
Yes, he is vertically challenged like me, but remember dynamite comes in small packages! 🧨😸
Pirro is also short. Including her fuse!
YES! LOVE her! ❤️ Did you see her rush to the Podium to answer a question and then she stopped and looked at POTUS to ask, do you want me to answer this? As she was answering POTUS was standing behind her smiling like a proud Parent! Kek!
She. Is. FEARLESS.
Kek!
We have been warned.
😸
I live in DC a few weeks out of the year, I've never had issues there. Like all cities there is a bad side of town, you just stay away from there.
Unfortunately the bad side of town is near the White House but I don't want a bad side anywhere...
No, it's not.
"We must get rid of Sanctuary Cities quickly."
Twice he mentioned about going to Russia. Once at the beginning and once towards the end.
...also, do you think he wants a ballroom? Nice little wink at Karoline Leavitt. Kek.
I caught that, too! 😉
"It's going to be clean and safe quickly"
POTUS enters Press Room at 10:38 ET and announced he is placing D.C. under Federal Control. 💥

Glad you and your family are safe! I have full confidence that POTUS will achieve all of his goals..
