The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

The LAPD chief just blew away the left's narrative, and sunk Newsom's lawsuit to stop the National Guard deployment:
X (Twitter): Kevin Dalton on X: "Gavin Newsom: Trump is manufacturing this crisis Karen Bass: People are protesting peacefully Rob Bonta: There is no emergency LAPD Chief Ji

We saw the first night was bad, what we've seen subsequent to that is getting increasingly worse and more violent. TOnight we had individuals out there shooting commercial grade fireworks at our officers (Note: that's a common Antifa tactic). That can kill you. We have adapted our tactics to be able to have a chance to be able to take these people into custody and to hold them accountable.

We are overwhelmed as far as the number of people out there engaged in this type of activity and the types of things that they're doing. They'll take backpacks and the backpacks will have a cinder block and a hammer in it and they'll use the hammer to break up the cinder block and use that to throw at our officers, to throw at cars and at other people.

...There's no limit to what they're doing to our officers.

He went on. He was asked, do we need the National Guard?

X (Twitter): Townhall.com on X: "REPORTER: Do we need the national guard? LAPD CHIEF: "Tonight, this thing has gotten out of control."" / X

Do we need them? Looking at tonight, this thing has gotten out of control.

Then he said, "Before I can answer that I'd need to know more about what their capabilities are". But the real answer is hell yes, we need the Guard.
