'Collusion of stupidity': National Guard extension at Capitol confounds experts

Print this article
The Pentagon's decision to extend the National Guard deployment of 2,300 troops at the U.S. Capitol until May 23 to protect against an unknown threat is prompting outrage and concern from critics.
The Guard has been positioned around the legislative hall since the Jan. 6 Capitol riot was carried out by some of former President Donald Trump's supporters, but officials have refused to explain what they call an ongoing threat from right-wing militia groups. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin on Tuesday night approved a U.S. Capitol Police request to extend the Guard deployment, prompting howls from conservatives as the riot and response have become a political hot button.

National Guard says mission in Washington will conclude by mid-March

Print this article
Snowy, freezing conditions, and a dearth of protesters across the capital region are not enough reason to reduce the National Guard presence in Washington, D.C., which currently stands at 6,000 troops from 30 states and U.S. territories following the riot on Jan. 6.
“The mission is to go through mid-March as planned,” D.C. National Guard spokesman, Capt. Tinashe Machona told the
Washington Examiner on Friday. “We are not aware of any changes to that plan.”
The Guard is scheduled to draw down March 14 with a total expected price tag of $483 billion for the overall operation.
“There is no plan to extend that mission at this time,” Machona said.

DC National Guard paying double going rate to house troops in high-end Georgetown

Print this article
The D.C. National Guard is paying nearly double the going rate in order to house hundreds of troops in high-end Georgetown who are deployed to Washington after the Capitol riot. That placement puts some of them 4 miles closer to the legislative hall than comparable suburban hotels costing 40% less.
Guard members from Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and California have been staying at four Georgetown hotels since late January and early February, the
Washington Examiner confirmed Tuesday by speaking to Guard members and hotel staff in English- and Spanish-language interviews.
Guard members were also observed entering and exiting three of the four hotels, and they confirmed they were staying there.

National Guard Denies Guardsmen Guilty Turning Backs on Presidential Motorcade in Washington DC

Leaders of the National Guard disputed the reports of guard members turning their backs on the presidential motorcade. Some claim it was disrespect, but there were relevant explanations for it.
The last election in 2020 left a mark on America, and allegiances are indeterminable when it comes to military service. The same goes for the Guard, who are considered professional civilian soldiers who must follow the rules, like saluting to the commander in chief.
On inauguration day, some alleged claims were troops intentionally faced away from the passing presidential entourage. When it made symbolic rounds in D.C. an abnormal behavior was spotted, reported The Epoch Times.

The more than 25,000 National Guard troops called to provide inauguration security remained in place Thursday and will continue to patrol the near-vacant capital city until federal agencies release them, military officials said.
"We are here at the request of federal agencies and will stay as long as we are needed to meet their requirements,” D.C. National Guard spokesman Capt. Tinashe Machona told the
Washington Examiner without responding to questions about when troops might begin to depart the District of Columbia.
“If we have excess capability and capacity, we want to get those National Guard soldiers and airmen back home to their families and employers as soon as we can,” Machona added.

'Calm before the storm': Uneasy quiet descends on DC and Congress ahead of inauguration

Print this article
An uneasy peace has settled in Washington, D.C., with a week to go before Inauguration Day and a week after deadly violence tore through Capitol Hill.
Congress is out of session until President-elect Joe Biden is inaugurated next week, buildings are boarded up across the city, the National Guard has descended upon the district, and President Trump no longer has an outlet (Twitter) to feed into the insatiable news cycle.
One of the White House press pool reports from Thursday bore the simple subject line: “No news.”
The constant talk of elections, fraud, protests, and the Electoral College has given way to an eerie calm after the events of Jan. 6, events which have left a poignant mark on the capital and will undoubtedly shape changes (some that are already being felt) in the weeks and months to come.
