Army Guard Reorganizes for  Fights with Russia and China

It’s notable how the Islamist threat has receded, and emphasis on “near peer” battle engagements has taken center stage.  The 2018 National Defense Strategy has changed all that.  It’s major advocate was SecDef General Mattis before resigning over the Syrian deployment.

WASHINGTON — The Army National Guard will move most of its brigades under the command of its eight division headquarters as it reorganizes its fighting formations to give the force more combat power and some soldiers new career opportunities, officials said.

The Guard move will mark a substantial increase in the number of fully manned divisions that the Army can deploy, as only the service’s 10 active-duty divisions are now filled out with subordinate units, said Lt. Gen. Daniel Hokanson, the director of the Army National Guard. The increase to 18 complete Army divisions comes at a time when service officials believe a major conflict with a near-peer rival — namely Russia or China — would require the employment of full divisions, he said.

“When you look at the [2018] National Defense Strategy and competition among near-peer competitors, peer competitors — that great power competition, there is a potential for large-scale combat operations … [and] it could actually be division level fights,” Hokanson said in an interview Thursday ahead of the Guard’s planned announcement Saturday. “We wanted to make sure that everything that the Army National Guard did was in support of the total Army and the NDS, and one issue was that our divisions are just headquarters they don’t have brigades under them.”

15 Murders in July – Portland’s Deadliest Month in 3 Decades!

This is happening all across America.  Leftist Democratic Party Mayors are restricting the police forces after the George Floyd protests commenced months ago.  This is what happens when police pulls back – crime runs rampant, murder & mayhem the result.  It will get worse before it gets better, if it ever does. There is a chance that many of these communities go the way of Detroit.  Businesses and upper income taxpayers fleeing for safer climes – never to return. The city’s central core decimated, with no new investments on the horizon. Homelessness, drug addiction, murder, despair.  Welcome to the Democratic Party’s plan for America’s citys.

Portland police are scrambling to respond to 15 homicides in the city so far in July. That’s the most killings in one month in more than three decades, they said.

So far this year, 24 people have died in homicides in Portland.

The most recent killing was Tuesday night, a 34-year-old woman who was stabbed at a Northeast Portland residence after returning from a vigil in memory of 27-year-old Tyrell Penney, who was killed in a shooting Saturday night at Southeast Division Street and 158th Avenue.

Fauci Says COVID-19 Could Reach Level of 1918 Spanish Flu, the ‘Mother of All Pandemics’

Is there any way to shut this guy up?  His doomsday scenarios are causing panic and are becoming increasingly detached from reality. He’s drunk with power, increasingly addicted to the spotlight.  Approx. 5% of the worlds’s population died in the 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic, 50 to 100 million.  Fauci NOW says that COVID-19 “has the makings of, the possibility of approaching that in seriousness”.  What would that mean?  There have been 680,000 deaths worldwide due to COVID-19 thus far in 2020. There were 1.8 billion people in 1918. The world’s population is now 7.8 billion.  That would be the equivalent of 390 million people dying of COVID-19 in 2020!!!  That is simply not possible, and proves that this latest Fauci “prediction” is nothing more than the rantings of an unhinged lunatic.

The Spanish Flu—caused by an unusually deadly strain of influenza—was the most severe pandemic in modern history, infecting an estimated 500 million people, which amounted to about a third of the world’s population at the time.

“If you look at the magnitude of the 1918 pandemic where anywhere from 50 to 75 to 100 million people globally died, that was the mother of all pandemics and truly historic. I hope we don’t even approach that with [COVID-19] but it does have the makings of, the possibility of approaching that in seriousness,” Fauci, who heads the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID,) said during a Georgetown University Global Health Initiative webinar, according to CNN.

Some students are daring to stand up to “cancel culture”

While “cancel culture” runs rampant in higher education institutions, many students and student groups are standing up against it.

The trend that is now known as “cancel culture” has gained great traction with America’s youth in recent years. Following the violent outbreaks of riots in America’s streets stemming from the death of George Floyd, companies and colleges alike are complying with demands to erase history and supposedly right the wrongs of the past.  Many college students and organizations, however, are not caving in the face of the demands.

Theodore Roosevelt on Immigration

The Democratic Party is destroying America by dividing America. We should always welcome immigrants, but only legally and on our terms. Let’s require them to learn English so that we can communicate with them; so that we can teach them our heritage; so that they can assimilate, join the workforce, and pay taxes. So that they can make positive contributions to our society. Immigrants should be required to pledge allegiance to America.

Theodore Roosevelt

In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person’s becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American…There can be no divided allegiance here.

Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn’t an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag… We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language… and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.”

Graphic Footage: Antifa Rioters Damage to Portland’s Courthouse

I was down at the courthouse at the first part of July.  It was trashed and destroyed.  But now it’s worse – I found it hard to believe but true.  The Mayor and Governor don’t care at all. They are proponents of anarchy and lawlessness.

KGW News photojournalist Eric Patterson toured the area just in front of the federal courthouse and captured a video of the graffiti, burnt trash, and various signs of violence from the night before.

Let’s just say this wasn’t exactly a “peaceful protest.”

Thanks to the hard work of federal agents who have defended this courthouse every night, facing lasers in their eyes, mortar firework attacks, and getting pelted by various projectiles, the federal courthouse in Portland has not yet burned down.

Andy Ngo, editor-at-large at The Post Millennial, argued that rioters “were more quickly repelled” on Wednesday night “because they lacked the huge crowds that gave them better cover to commit acts of violence.”
