[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The WSJ editorial board weighs in on the use of the military to quell protests.

“The California Governor is right that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was needlessly provocative in tweeting that Marines at Camp Pendleton are on alert to intervene if asked. The country doesn’t want the military patrolling American streets except in the worst circumstances. But Mr. Trump could invoke the Insurrection Act to deploy the military, as George H.W. Bush did to quell the 1992 L.A. riots, and our guess is that the President and Mr. Miller are looking for the chance.”[/quote]

Yup, I tell everyone it’s hard to tell the WSJ reporting and editorials apart from NPR’s these days! Seriously, reports like this one in the WSJ give me hope. [/quote]

“Reporting” from both the WSJ and NPR increasingly resemble The Onion.[/quote]

For the record, the quoted piece from the Wall Street Journal was from an editorial article, not from a news article. The new articles in the WSJ are rated Center for media bias; the editorial pieces lean Right. The same article that that paragraph was quoted from included lots of digs against Democrats and Biden’s “open border policy.” If you bothered to read the full article you’d see that it basically lays blame at Biden’s feet for creating the conditions that have led to the immigration situation today, but it also faults the Trump administration for overreacting and for wanting to escalate things.
