Persons also put the city under limited martial law. The assassination inspired a 1955 film noir: “The Phenix City Story”, with John McIntyre as Albert Patterson, Richard Kiley as his son (and future Alabama governor) John, and Edward Andrews as the local crime boss. Not a bad flick.

Might one conclude, therefore, that Newsom’s bullet train to nowhere has been helping to fund all kinds of “interesting stuff”?

Legal, and has been done before:

Throughout the Civil Rights era, Presidents Eisenhower, Kennedy, and Johnson federalized the National Guard under Title 10 U.S. Code to enforce the expansion of civil rights and to ensure public order. Notable incidents include the desegregation of Central High School in Little Rock in 1957, the University of Mississippi in 1962, the University of Alabama and Alabama public schools in 1963. The Alabama National Guard was also called into federal service for the Selma-Montgomery March in 1965. • Beginning with the Detroit Riots in 1967, presidents federalized the National Guard to support law enforcement agencies in response to civil unrest. The King Assassination Riots in 1968, the New York Postal Strike in 1970, and the Los Angeles Riots in 1992 were the last incidents in which a president federalized the National Guard for civil disturbance operations.

Is it legal? When they first started talking about it my first thought was U.S. troops can’t be used on U.S. soil against U.S. citizens. I’m sure there are exceptions.

Is it legal? The leftist democrats say its not legal. What do you guys think?
While many of these “protesters” are waving Mexican flags, I’m not sure if they are all Mexicans. In fact I’m fairly sure they aren’t all Mexicans. There is evidence that many are the normal agitators and communist seen at most protests.

France is going broke:

“France Considers Fiscal Freeze To Save What’s Left of Its Budget”—
https://europeanconservative.com/articles/news/france-considers-fiscal-freeze-to-save-whats-left-of-its-budget/

Hmm. Is this an opening for Qatar?
And if so, how far might it go in explaining the shift in France’s Middle-East alignment…?
