Trump calls for using US cities as ‘training ground’ for armed forces in unusual speech to generals
I had thought reporting ignored the more important part of the Trump-Hegseth dog and pony. Not so. It is split coverage, this being far more important than Hegseth saying the military will be taken meaner and whiter, and politically incorrect. Beyond that, the real threat to every citizen of the nation we live in and in which speech is free, but soldiers may be in the streets shooting people. Strange, you think? The item states:

QUANTICO, Va. (AP) — President Donald Trump on Tuesday proposed using American cities as training grounds for the armed forces, with U.S. military might being deployed against what he described as the “invasion from within.”
Addressing an audience of military brass abruptly summoned to Virginia, Trump outlined a muscular and at times norm-shattering view of the military’s role in domestic affairs. He was joined by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who declared an end to “woke” culture and announced new directives for troops that include “gender-neutral” or “male-level” standards for physical fitness.
The dual messages underscored the Trump administration’s efforts not only to reshape contemporary Pentagon culture but enlist military resources for the president’s priorities and in everyday American civic life, including by quelling unrest and violent crime on city streets.
“We should use some of these dangerous cities as training grounds for our military,” Trump said. He noted at another point: “We’re under invasion from within. No different than a foreign enemy but more difficult in many ways because they don’t wear uniforms.”
Hegseth called hundreds of military leaders and their top advisers from around the world to the Marine Corps base in Quantico without publicly revealing the reason. His address largely focused on his own long-used talking points that painted a picture of a military that has been hamstrung by “woke” policies, and he said military leaders should “do the honorable thing and resign” if they don’t like his new approach.
There's more. The fucker is taking marching orders from BiBi. Not Putin. Putin is more subtle.
There clearly is more to the item than that brief starting excerpt. Read it. So you'll know who most likely will shoot you on the streets, if you get shot walking the dog or going for an ice cream cone.
This is not out of Orwell's 1984. It IS Orwell's 1984. It seethes with un-Americanism. With banana republic thoughts and plans, and Trump is fatter, uglier, and meaner than most dictators, that being shown by the latest reported abuse of historic Americanism as it has been since the civil war. We do not as a nation, until now, have a worry of our soldiers shooting us on our streets. It is blasphemy against American citizens. It goes beyond Stephen Miller ugliness.
