‘#Oregon Republican Party is facing backlash after it shared a social media post about a planned military deployment in #Portland using a fabricated image composed of photographs from South America.

The party's official accounts…claimed, "President Trump on Sunday deployed 300 California National Guard troops to Portland, Oregon after a judge ruled that the Oregon National Guard could not be [used] to keep federal facilities and personnel in Portland safe.”’

Parente said Martinez has “seven holes” in her from the #shooting & that agents were in such a hurry to take her into custody at the hospital that they had to return later when Martinez began bleeding from her wounds.

Parente disputed the govt’s claim that Martinez is a danger to the community & should be detained, saying instead that the officer who shot her was a threat.

“I think there’s a danger to the community, but I don’t think it’s Ms. Martinez,” he said.

@AlliFlowers If I had to choose between JB Pritzger and Gavin Newsome, it would be tough! Pritzker is statesman like, Presidential and emotes morality, integrity and clear thinking. Newsome is scrappy willing to take risks and has to buy shoes to protect his gonads from being stepped on. Pritzger President and Newsome VP!

Chicago Sun Times: "Body-camera video appears to contradict the government’s claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed"

I don't think the Trump administration really thinks those boats have drugs aboard. The point is not interdicting drugs, it's killing people and bragging about it.

I think the secondary purpose is weeding out the career military officers who might be squeamish about killing civilians.

Capturing and interrogating the people on the boats would interfere with the mission.

Today's pumpkin photo: Large pumpkins, previously marked as sold, are being moved via tractor yesterday. I guess the purchasers came to claim their pumpkins.

Nazi Noem set up a sniper unit on a rooftoop in Chicago overlooking ICE protestors below. She visited it this weekend. Trump and his thugs are going to gun down US citizens.

A federal judge late Sunday temporarily blocked the #Trump admin from deploying any #NationalGuard units to #Oregon at all, after a legal whirlwind that began hours earlier when Trump mobilized #California troops for #Portland after the same judge blocked him from using Oregon’s National Guard the day before.

During a hastily called evening telephone hearing, US District Judge Karin Immergut granted a temporary restraining order sought by CA & OR.

As the data shows @GovBillLee’s vouchers are going to wealthy families with kids already in private (Christian) schools, Lee wants to expand it and hand out more money to wealthy families: www.tennessean.com/story/news/p... (His goal is for every wealthy family to get this handout)

Pete Hegseth was barred from attending Biden’s 2021 Presidential inauguration because he was identified as an insider threat.

The current Secretary of War is an insider threat! Let that sink in.

The Secretary of War is under investigation by the DoW Inspector General for his actions during the Signal Gate 1 & 2 incidents.

It’s why Hegseth wants to fire all the IG’s investigating him.
