Heavy machinery in the driveway now doing something with the barricades, unsure what.

"Hey, that's my freedom zone!" someone shouts.

Higby has continued agitating. Crowd (including a large, obnoxious press scrum) has him backed up against one of the barricades now, chanting, "racist, go home!"

Around 100 protesters here now, the crowd is growing in advance of 4pm demo planned.

State trooper Bradley again warning people they can protest but if they set foot in the road (note: this is a driveway) they'll be arrested.

Another fed vehicle departs.

BREAKING: Kristi Noem just discovered the founder of Antifa by questioning their girlfriend. This is the first time the world will see who the founder really is, and it is shocking. Because of the absolute terror this imagery causes, we are sharing it in a follow-up post in this thread.

The GOP and regime are on a kamikaze run. They know if they don't have a fascist takeover, their corruption, crimes, and cowardice are going to be exposed with no chance of getting out of jail.

If it looks to why the regime is working so impatiently. It makes sense they have everything to lose!

President Trump's attempt to exclude some immigrant families from participating in Head Start is unlawful — and a federal judge has blocked it.

Keep calling in to C-SPAN when GOP politicians are on the program. Question the Democrats too. Don't be afraid to call & don't be afraid to be heard. youtu.be/yS8V3l6JsUg

Also, hold them to it live on air. Mike Johnson heard a woman beg for healthcare relief. He, then the next day, told his colleagues to extend their vacation to keep the government closed.

They smile at you one way, and then lie the next. No morals.

When you believe your enemy is both stupidly incompetent, yet the most omnipotent threat to your existence; you're in a cult.

A video of Kristi Noem blaming Democrats for the government shutdown is now playing at airports across the U.S.

How is this even legal?

This is... not unusual. There is propensity for military leadership to have troops to sign for being part of this kind of "training".

Is it dumb? Absolutely!
Does it mean every troop will agree to his speech? Pfft! I haven't lost all faith in them.

100%
Unfortunately it is very prevalent in the US. Just look at the GOP, who is willing to shutdown the whole government for it.

That includes an attorney general, an FBI director and his deputy

Border patrol.

Hand on neck. It is not a defensive technique, it is aggressive offense. It is clear that the border patrol agent, had intent to attack that unarmed man. Unslung his weapon, and hand reached for the neck. I'd die laughing if he pleaded it was in self-defense.

Its the evangelicals that is the spotlight, and some of smaller churches where the pastor slips in political endorsement.
