National Guard is not the "reserves"; they are (state) National Guard. There is a VERY big difference. The US reserves (example US Army Reserves, US Coast Guard Reserves, etc) are federal forces, paid exclusively by the federal government. The National Guard is run by the state's governor (PA, LA, TN, etc.) and paid by the state AND a little from the federal government. The "resident" can call a governor to activate their national guard but it takes an act of Congress to activate the reserves.
I am a very literal person: reserves is reserves and national guard is national guard.
Maybe to some it is just semantics but there is a big difference between the two.
I think whoever is writing these articles, reporting this stuff, doesn't know what they are talking about, which doesn't surprise me.
The reports keep saying "reserve" troops but I have a problem with that. Reserve troops require a literal act of congress to be mobilized; they are a federal force. However, National Guard troops can be activated by their respective governor. So, the "resident" can contact governors to activate troops and NOTHING needs to go through Congress.
It could just be that whoever is "reporting" this doesn't know the difference between the two. Regardless, our troops, reserve and NG, are there to protect US, not some other corrupt country that is our financial laundromat.
The soccer coach from TN will be feeling the wrath as well. ( https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/07/sick-tennessee-soccer-coach-arrested-drugging-raping-least/ ) I just don't get how these guys, and most of them ARE guys, can do this shit to kids.
This may raise a few hackles but doesn't being a Christian mean to love others? (I consider myself a Christian) I don't agree the homosexual lifestyle, it's not for me (wrong plumbing), but they are children of God. I can not judge them for what they do with their life so long as it is within the law; God will judge them.
No, Joe, many of us did NOT step in line, nor did we take the fake test, nor did we cave to the pressure. Granted, I no longer work so losing my job/livelihood was not an issue. It was my soul that I was afraid of losing by putting that poison in my body. Each time I was asked if I wanted to take "it" by a medical professional my answer was not friendly.
I still see idiots wearing a mask IN A CAR BY THEMSELF. Even my octogenarian mother laughs at them.
The only good I see coming from these latest revelations is that we now have a group of people, PROVEN to have slave owners in their past, that should PAY for REPARATIONS.
Although, I believe the whole reparations issue is BS because no one today had anything to do with that life style. So, why should WE have to pay for how our ancestors lived?
Or, in my situation, my ancestors came to this country in the late 19th, early 20th centuries; much like 45's.
For those that want to learn the TRUE history, Diane Swain from Prager U, has some great videos about slavery and the Ds. She lists out how the Ds started the civil war, were AGAINST the 13th Amendment, were AGAINST the Civil Rights Act of 1965, STARTED the KKK, etc. Oh, and she's a black woman.
According to the caption of the top photo, on the right, it says the FOOTBALL is in the aide's RIGHT hand. The bag possibly depicted in both photos, with the tag, is in the left hand.
I agree with @Qlueless, it is probably a medical equipment bag.
While reading the comments something came to mind. I know the brothers are/were suing some of the SCOTUS justices, but I don't know which ones. What if they are/were suing them so they could not be part of the "election" case? Wouldn't they have to recuse themselves from any case involving the brothers if they're being sued by them? If so, wouldn't that have been a strategic move by the brothers, again depending on which justices they are suing?
I have seen this video many times. I have also seen some "reaction" videos to this video on YT. It's interesting to see the light bulb go off when the people watching realize EVERYTHING they were told/taught in school was a lie. They never realized it was the neighbors that enslaved people, so they could get money. They also never realized the reality of "westerners" not being able to survive capturing people to enslave them. Most of the people/kids watching the video and recording their reaction did realize that race (skin color) had NOTHING to do with it.
The only people that were enslaved, of ANY skin color, were those less fortunate.
He made some comment about DeSantis' comments about slavery, which I was not aware of, and how DeS doesn't know what it was like to "...be whipped, and forced to work out in the fields, and be murdered and dragged through the streets..." I tuned him out at that point.
Yes, the encounter was with a black man. He said he was 71 y/o so he was born long after slavery was abolished.
