conditions and recommendations to control that border, including advising whether to invoke the 1807 Insurrection Act. This is fact. 47 put it in his first executive order declaring a national emergency, which he signed on Jan 20, 2025. Speaker Johnson has seen fit to abrogate his and the House's authority and responsibility to advise and consent to this order, or to renounce it, by refusing to allow discussion or a vote regarding ending it.
(b) Within 90 days of the date of this proclamation, the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of Homeland Security shall submit a joint report to the President about the conditions at the southern border of the United States and any recommendations regarding additional actions that may be necessary to obtain complete operational control of the southern border, including whether to invoke the Insurrection Act of 1807.

Some people have said the date is significant since it is the birthday of DJT's favorite tyrant. In regards to this some are also suggesting the Orange Menace will use the report to help him declare martial law, making him officially dictator supreme. I can only speculate but I fear that Congress and Senate GOP members will pass on their Constitutional responsibilities based on the same flimsy lie.
They did it for W. They did it for Ronnie. Why not for El Supremo?
I deeply fear what we may wake up to on Monday the 21st. I wear no tinfoil.
