This story about them being understaffed should make Trump and Vance nervous. Because you don’t want the counter-sniper guarding your event to be working a lot of overtime and therefore probably not at 100% [https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5482231-dhs-watchdog-secret-service-counter-sniper-team-understaffed/](https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5482231-dhs-watchdog-secret-service-counter-sniper-team-understaffed/) ---

I just heard on CNN that Trump is looking at deploying the National Guard to New Orleans. ---

According to Gov. Pritzker, Chi-town will be hosting the Fucking Texas national guard. Maybe in the south they’ll just send their own tools. ---

What would happen if Pritzker called up the Illinois guard to block the Texas guard from invading the state? ---

Sickening Trump loyalty would ensue, I’m sure. The Chicago police union dickbag had something welcoming to say, as well. ---

AIUI, the brass generally trends redward but the redness fades down into the ranks.

So, I’m going to a puzzle event in Japan, soon. I just got an email from the organizer that says, in part: > Due to new rules caused by the recently introduced US tariffs, Japan Post―like many other national postal services―has suspended sending parcels from Japan to the US. It might be possible to ship parcels using other couriers, but we strongly advise you to carry your puzzles in your suitcase back to the US (you might bring another bag or suitcase just for that). For those of you who are unable to carry your stuff home in your luggage, we will try to help find an alternative solution. I wasn’t planning on buying so much that i can’t carry it home. But oh goody. ---

I’ve said it before. I don’t care if adds $100 trillion to the national debt; if Democrats ever regain power, we must fix everything he has broken. ---

> [@CalMeacham](#): > > Trump had wanted to move the US Space command from Colorado to Alabama during his first term. The ilitary objected – not only was the Air Force Academy there (which produced a lot of Space Force officers), but so were three Space Force centers. Biden countermanded that. But now Trump wants to move it to Huntsville, Alabama again. His ostensible reason? > > > Two years later, Trump is reversing the reversal. [NBC News reported](https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/white-house/trump-moving-space-command-hq-alabama-colorado-mail-voting-system-rcna228647): > > > > > _President Donald Trump announced Tuesday that U.S. Space Command’s headquarters will move to Alabama from Colorado, reversing a Biden administration decision. In remarks at the White House, Trump said he was making the shift in part because of Colorado’s use of mail-in voting._ Here’s another odd thing. The military being moved from that area, if they do vote, vote my mail (absentee voting) because they would be registered in their home state. Have you ever wondered why you see so many out of state license plates on military bases? That’s because the vehicles are registered in the service member’s home state. Besides those two things, the service member also pays taxes using his home state address. This is a stunt, one of many the felon has conjured up to show how great he is. ---
