Hegseth Memo--National Guard response force to be deployed for crowd control in all 50 states by April 2026.

Hegseth doesn't dispute the existence of a memo planning for the establishment of a "National Guard response force that's gonna be trained in crowd control and civil unrest and deployed in all 50 states by April 2026."

We got trouble, right here in River City.

Concerts, Sporting, speakers, etc., bring out tens of thousands of people. Are there going to be National Guard troops posted ?The New Years Eve party at Times Square brings out close to a half million alone!

Petey H.is out of his mind. As is his boss.
