Have you taken prior positions on whether Cotton was correct or whether the military should be involved in the anti-Israel protests? (i don't believe the chinese/iranian operatives nor the immigration cheaters fit into the term "domestic").

I think I've said the Times overreacted to that Cotton piece. Seems to me that law enforcement or at most national guard could handle both the 2020 and the 2023-2024 protest without help from regular or reserve military. Maybe you'd want some intelligence community help on the overseas end to see if there is any foreign money or coordination flowing into the anti-Israel protests but with real care that there is not domestic spying by those agencies. Military police might be called in in a real pinch or desperate situation I guess but the actual military is trained to fight and kill enemies, which is not what you'd necessarily want to unleash on our own population. That seems more like a Tiananmen type of move.

Biden and Democrats and RINOs are the biggest threat to our democracy if you follow the money trails. He’s following the Saul Alinsky tactic of throwing your sun onto your opponent.

Regarding Israel, Muslims will not stop until there are no Jews in any authority in Israel. That’s the starting point to negotiations which makes them futile.
