Trump is federalizing the California National Guard to put down another imaginary ‘uprising’. The goal is growing more chaos to draw attention from the massive White House / Congressional GOP grifting operation in favor of America’s wealthy. www.nytimes.com/… Governors almost always control the deployment of National Guard troops in their states. When/if Trump declares martial law don't forget the most effective way of disarming the National Guard. This isn’t the first time Katie Miller has found herself torn between Musk and Trump.

In support of progressivism, I am trying to articulate a progressive Christian political vision. *****No concept of Christ can cage the person of Jesus. Those offended insisted that Jesus was a man and should stay a man and that involving Christ in gender play harmed the faith.

LOADING ERROR LOADINGJune 6 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump is free to bar the Associated Press from some White House media events for now, after a U.S. appeals court on Friday paused a lower court ruling mandating that AP journalists be given access. Circuit temporarily blocks an order by U.S. District Judge Trevor McFadden, who ruled on April 8 that the Trump administration must allow AP journalists access to the Oval Office, Air Force One and White House events while the news agency’s lawsuit moves forward. Rao wrote that the lower court injunction “impinges on the President’s independence and control over his private workspaces” and that the White House was likely to ultimately defeat the Associated Press’ lawsuit. McFadden, who was appointed by Trump during his first term, said in his ruling that if the White House opens its doors to some journalists it cannot exclude others based on their viewpoints. Trump administration lawyers said the president has absolute discretion over media access to the White House and that McFadden’s ruling infringed on his ability to decide whom to admit to sensitive spaces.

But we take on the deeper, thornier questions, too, like how well do we ever really know another person — even one we’re married to?
