There doesn’t seem to be a clear point or purpose in Trump’s speech to the #military generals. He has talked about #tariffs, #Biden & the autopen #ConspiracyTheory, the southern #border, CNN, his personal feelings about #Putin & his thirst for a #NobelPeacePrize.
Trump said he told #Hegseth that “we should use some of these dangerous cities as training grounds for our military,” referring to urban areas within the US. Then he talked about deploying the #NationalGuard to #Chicago & #Portland.

As of September 24, 2025 #Screwworm has been detected within 70 miles of the #US #Mexico #Border. This is very bad news since the range of #NWS is around 120 miles during their 21 day lifespan, meaning they could fly across the closed to livestock border anytime in the next couple weeks, or less if it's windy. If the NWS #outbreak reaches the US it will be deadly for pets, livestock, wildlife, & people. #TrumpFails

In our magazine: Since the 9/11 era, what began as an attack on civil liberties for the purpose of combating “terrorism” has been the subject of mission creep. The target moved from foreign terrorists to simply foreign-born immigrants. https://www.texasobserver.org/never-again-texas-border-eagle-pass/
“The U.S. and Mexican governments keep going after cartel members instead of dismantling the full networks—the financial flows, arms trafficking, addiction, corruption.”
