People are being conditioned right now to accept the presence of the National Guard and the military on the streets of American cities. LA was a trial run and the Donald got away with it for the most part. We'll have to wait and see how Newsom's lawsuit turns out. Now DC; and he's talking about doing it in other cities. He's slowly turning up the heat and hoping no one notices. At this point I believe it will be up to the Guard and the military to say no, otherwise it's game over. Policing American streets is NOT the job of the Guard OR the military.

May want to consider leaving the country if possible.
A total societal breakdown is foreseeable in the near future.
 
Yeah, send us a crypted message RA so we know.
Like when you find a "random" shell formation on the beach.
 
Trump hasn't even been in office a year.👎🏿😳🫣

I hope you'll be alright until 2028 bro.
Sadly Trump said that he won't run for a third time and he feels like he's ready for Heaven now ... but i'm going to send him a letter to reconsider and run for a third time. For the good of America.

That election period might be crucial. Not only do we elect a new POTUS in 2028, the next European Parliament elections are scheduled for 2029. Maybe the antichrist arises from that group in the 2030s.

We've been headed for this since lawlessness on the streets was allowed to proliferate. All we're seeing now is enough is enough and Thank God we have an admin that is carrying it out.

Anybody that complains about this is part of the problem. I'm in a place watching a lighter version. A lot of new development replacing the old and previously somewhat unsafe. The element is still around and robs a new popular store twice. Then big shiny new Police SUV parked like signage on the sidewalk and more around the block on escape route. No more robberies. Stop it early or let it go and at some point, get more Police presence or the Guard. It's not rocket science.

Trump's absolutely right. The nation's capital should not be an infested mess. Clean it up and let visitors say, "it's so clean you could eat off the streets". Coming to a neighborhood near you...

I like your theology but disagree with you here. I'm of the 1950's. The 1960's anti-establishment culture has been in leadership here for the past several decades. The decadence and lawlessness have continued to escalate. The burn it down culture reached some degree of a peak over the past several years. Trump remembers what others of us remember and all we're saying is that's enough. Beef up the police and the DOJ. Get rid of activist judges. Back Bondi in bringing back the death penalty. Support young Christian groups who have some sense of the true Faith and understand the reality of solid families and law & order and in this generation proper civic involvement that much of the previous generation was misled to believe wasn't appropriate. The world's a tough place but God provided some guidelines for handling it.

My understanding is that what Trump is doing in DC is catastrophic to the Democrats. Crime has plummeted and therefore all the payoffs are down too. No wonder Newsom is suing over Trump putting a stop to crime, how is he going to finance a run for president? Clearly you and all the other democrats have noticed what Trump is doing. However, I do agree with you that the job of the National Guard is not to police the streets, that is the job of the city and state governments. But, if they don't do their job, if they are in cahoots with the criminals, then we do need to take extraordinary measures to put a stop to it.
 
I asked Claude AI this: President Trump is talking about sending the National Guard to 19 states in order to fight crime. This does not sound like a realistic explanation. So can you provide three more plausible reasons why the President of the US would send the national guard to 19 states and not give us the real reason.

Answer:
Immigration enforcement operations: The administration might be planning large-scale deportation raids or border security operations that require significant manpower. Deploying Guard units under the guise of "crime fighting" could provide cover for immigration enforcement activities that might face more political resistance if announced directly.

Election security preparations: With concerns about election integrity being a major political issue, the Guard could be positioned to monitor or secure election infrastructure, voting locations, or ballot processing centers. Framing this as general crime prevention might seem less politically charged than explicitly stating it's about election oversight.

Civil unrest contingency planning: The administration might anticipate potential protests, demonstrations, or civil unrest related to upcoming policy announcements (economic measures, controversial legislation, etc.) and wants Guard units pre-positioned in key states. Calling it crime prevention sounds more neutral than admitting they're preparing for possible political unrest.


I responded: ICE is used for immigration enforcement and I don't see the National guard being useful unless they were expecting civil unrest as a backlash. Likewise, I am not aware of any imminent elections and this is not an election year for Federal elections.

updated Answer:
Economic crisis preparation: The administration might be anticipating major economic disruption (bank failures, market crash, supply chain collapse) that could lead to social instability. Guard units could be positioned to maintain order during potential runs on banks, protect critical infrastructure, or manage distribution of emergency resources.


Natural disaster pre-positioning: With climate change increasing severe weather events, this could be advance positioning for anticipated natural disasters - hurricane season, wildfire season, or even preparation for a major earthquake or volcanic event. "Crime fighting" might be used to avoid causing public panic about expected disasters.


Foreign threat response: There might be intelligence about potential domestic terrorism, foreign interference operations, or even concerns about sleeper cells that require a coordinated multi-state response. The Guard could be positioning for homeland security operations that can't be discussed publicly without compromising intelligence sources.


I responded: The economic crisis seems very realistic as there was a run on the LBMA silver on Friday. Also the foreign threat response is also very realistic following the summit between Trump and Putin followed by the meeting in Washington with all the NATO leaders. Can you drill down on these two theories. What else would you expect to happen if the President were anticipating either of those two options?


Answer:

Economic Crisis Theory - Silver Market Stress

Based on the search results, there are indeed serious concerns about silver market stability. The LBMA silver market is under severe strain with depleting physical reserves while processing tens of billions of ounces in paper transactions annually, and the EFP (Exchange for Physical) mechanism between COMEX and LBMA is "seizing up" with increasing cash settlements instead of physical delivery.

What else you'd expect to see:


  • Banking sector alerts: Preparations for potential bank runs or liquidity crises if precious metals markets collapse
  • Currency stabilization measures: Guard units positioned near Federal Reserve banks or major financial centers
  • Supply chain protection: Securing critical infrastructure for food, fuel, and medical supplies
  • Emergency economic powers activation: Preparation to invoke emergency economic authorities
  • Communication blackout preparations: Positioning to maintain communications during financial panic

Foreign Threat Response Theory - Post-Summit Intelligence

The Trump-Putin Alaska summit on August 15, 2025, ended without agreement, followed immediately by an unprecedented gathering of NATO and European leaders at the White House on August 18-19, including the NATO Secretary General, British PM, French President, German Chancellor, Italian PM, Finnish President, and EU Commission President. WikipediaCNBC


What else you'd expect to see:


  • Enhanced cybersecurity posture: Protection of critical infrastructure from potential cyber attacks
  • Border security reinforcement: Especially along northern borders given Alaska summit location
  • Intelligence community mobilization: Counterintelligence operations against potential Russian assets
  • Communication security: Protection of government communications networks
  • Nuclear facility security: Enhanced protection of nuclear installations
  • Election infrastructure protection: Even though not an election year, safeguarding voting systems from interference

The 19-State Scope Makes Sense For Both:


  • Economic: Major financial centers, Federal Reserve districts, key transportation hubs
  • Foreign Threat: States with critical infrastructure, military installations, or known foreign influence concerns

The timing is particularly telling - the Guard deployment announcement comes just days after a high-stakes diplomatic summit that clearly didn't go as planned, followed by an emergency-style NATO meeting. Both theories align with the administration's pattern of preparing for scenarios they can't publicly acknowledge without causing the very panic they're trying to prevent.

I dont know how you americans see this. In europe at seems that Trump and Musk doing everything for to fight against democracy and freedom to encrease their own Power and influence.
Another extremely divisive issue. Sometimes Trump makes me laugh, other times I facepalm. Personally, I think America SERIOUSLY needs to put an age limit on the highest office one can hold. Trumps methods are extremely strange and it is harming our traditions of democracy. That said, people need to realize he IS doing things on behalf of a LOT of people in this country (just about half) that are absolutely fed up with certain things

Where are all the right-wing podcasters who used to preach about the military being deployed on US streets? They were going to arrest US citizens and corral them into concentration camps. Now that it's actually happening, it's crickets. I think some of them are in Donald's administration. Kamala Harris was right, it's here folks.

I don't know about right wing podcasters, but I do know about conservative Christians who were referring to prophecies. We are still here, pointing out what is going on as we move step by step closer to the final seven years.

There will not be any concentration camps in the US until after the restrainer steps aside. But without a doubt, after the rapture we will see concentration camps and guillotines. There will be famine, plague, and the sword.

But you can relax, that will not happen until there is a peace treaty signed between Israel and many nations. My understanding is that we still have many days, I think September 9th is a big day for Israel to meet and hammer out the details and then it will be many more days before they sign it, I think around September 23.
 
I as well was taught of the Restrainer being taken out, yet we see in Scripture there will be Saints of the Tribulation, and scripture tells no one comes to salvation without the work of Holy Spirit. There must be more to it, perhaps more selective then?
best wishes

The restrainer stepping aside cannot be equated to the Holy Spirit leaving the earth because we are told that He will never leave nor forsake us. Instead I understand the restrainer to be the Body of Christ that is indwelt and filled with the Holy Spirit. It is people on earth moving and operating in the Holy Spirit that are restraining the spirit of Antichrist. When they are removed in the rapture then there is nothing to restrain the spirit of Antichrist.

But just as you said, if there are Christians here during the seven year period commonly referred to as "the tribulation" then the Holy Spirit must be here as well.
