"Mattis is the perfect deep state agent, conducting bombing campaigns for Israel and globohomo, while refusing to lift a finger to do the very thing he is sworn to do: defend the United States of America." Fash the Nation is excellent, conservative, in-depth political analysis. The most popular Alt-Right podcast in America, its audience of 100K listeners is quickly gaining share from 'boomer', i.e. Limbaugh-type, talk radio. The hosts, McFeels and Halberstram are very well-informed beltway policy pros, who get into the nitty-gritty of US domestic politics in ways other shows won't. When appropriate, and without over-doing it, they address race and Jewish influence from an Alt-Right perspective. Highly recommended. Listen on website, YouTube, or phone podcast apps. The site also has print articles. Click here to see more of their work on RI. George Bush may have passed over the weekend, but the neocon ideology he and his son brought to prominence is still alive and well in Washington. At the Reagan National Defense Forum, Secretary of Defense James Mattis used his keynote speech and subsequent interview with Brett Baier to advocate for an even more expansive and expensive US military, and to saber-rattle with nations all across the world. “Moderate Dog” Mattis showed his deep state bonifides by repeatedly attacking Vladimir Putin, and perpetuating the “election hacking” myth. Mattis called Putin a “slow learner,” and claimed that the Russian president had again meddled in the midterm elections. He’s asserting this with no evidence, and using it to justify a hostile stance against the world’s second most powerful military. Like the evidence for weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, we’re just supposed to trust that the warmongers have our best interests at heart. Mattis sounded eerily similar to the Bushes in his condemnations of Russia. He slammed Putin for his “continued efforts to try to subvert democratic processes.” Here is George W. Bush explaining why September 11 happened: They hate Democracy. They hate freedom. The Russian government is the new Taliban. Mattis talked flippantly about deposing regimes all across the world. Under the guise of “spreading democracy,” he advocated for overthrowing leaders in Iran, Syria, and Venezuela, and increasing the American military presence anywhere that “democracy” is threatened. This is stuff straight out of the Bush administrations. It’s the same stuff that failed miserably in Iraq and Afghanistan. It’s the same stuff that has unleashed massive destruction all around the world, breeding hate of America and facilitating mass migration into it. Mattis critiqued the governments of other countries with a hypocritical arrogance only a neocon can possess. He criticized Russia for a “cavalier use of force,” while the US casually drops bombs in third world countries every week. He accused Russia of election meddling, when no country has done more to interfere in the governments of foreign nations than the United States. As the American public becomes increasingly dissatisfied with elected officials and the elite, he accused other governments not caring about their people. If a government “not caring about its people” is a reason to overthrow it, then it’s time for the US military to march into Washington, not Tehran or Moscow. Trump has said he wants to cut the defense budget by five percent. Mattis shrugged that off, and claimed that military funding is actually too low. Mattis seemed to suggest he would prefer a number closer to the peak of the Cold War, when military spending was over 50% of the budget. So, according to Mattis, the United States should run open-ended military operations in nearly every country in the world in order to “protect our values.” What about protecting our borders? Not only does Mattis not think America should do that, he suggested that it would be illegal for the military to do so. He reiterated the lie that the military cannot help stop the caravan due to a prohibition on the military acting as law enforcement on US soil. Defending the country from invading hordes is not a law enforcement issue. It is a national security issue. It is an embarrassment to live in a country where the secretary of defense says it is illegal for the military to stop an invasion. Mattis is the perfect deep state agent, conducting bombing campaigns for Israel and globohomo, while refusing to lift a finger to do the very thing he is sworn to do: defend the United States of America. During the campaign, Trump showed good instincts on foreign policy. He promised to reduce needless American involvement in the Middle East and elsewhere. He claimed his “America First” policy would focus on objective interests and not nebulous concepts like freedom and spreading democracy. He even attacked the Bush family for its Middle East war failures, and claimed he wouldn’t repeat those mistakes. But then he hired the same people to run his foreign policy. The neocon ideology lives on in the Trump administration. Because of the president’s broad authority in foreign policy, this is an area where Trump can enact his agenda without congressional or judicial approval. He just needs to surround himself with the right people. That means finally draining Washington’s neocon swamp. He can start with Mattis.

Ref. Posse Comitatus Act and the US Military on the Border - thoughtco.com Under the Defense Authorization Act for FY2007 (H.R. 5122), the Secretary of Defense, upon a request from the Secretary of Homeland Security, can also assist in preventing terrorists, drug traffickers, and illegal aliens from entering the United States. On Oct. 25, 2005, the House of Representatives and Senate enacted a joint resolution (H. CON. RES. 274) clarifying Congress' stance on the effect of the Posse Comitatus Act on the use of the military on U.S. soil. In part, the resolution states "by its express terms, the Posse Comitatus Act is not a complete barrier to the use of the Armed Forces for a range of domestic purposes, including law enforcement functions, when the use of the Armed Forces is authorized by Act of Congress or the President determines that the use of the Armed Forces is required to fulfill the President's obligations under the Constitution to respond promptly in time of war, insurrection, or other serious emergency." ------- "They're on our left, they're on our right, they're in front of us, they're behind us...they can't get away this time." -- Col. Puller, USMC
When domestically employed, the Guard are rarely armed. Doesn't mean they can't be.
I would say domestically "deployed" instead of "employed" but absolutely agree with your 2nd sentence. ------- "They're on our left, they're on our right, they're in front of us, they're behind us...they can't get away this time." -- Col. Puller, USMC
Yes, the Guard all have their local Armories right at hand, as necessary and ordered deployed.

What kind of a man says that he will stop starving people to death in 30 days? That is what Mattis boldly proclaimed. (Oh’ by the way those 30 days have come and gone and the dying has not stopped.) Mattis also says things that keep MBS in power. Sorry but Mattis is just one more god dam war loving general.
Defending the country from invading hordes is not a law enforcement issue. It is a national security issue.
Additionally: Posse Comitatus does not specifically apply to the actions of the National Guard,
