All my friends keep asking why so many National Guard are being sent out near Palm Springs.
I'm not a deployment expert, but would put $$ on the fact that the AZ border is only 120 miles away.
If you were aiming for a police state, you would want to lock it down from one end to the other.

35 Senate seats up. All 435 seats in Congress.
And Yes, that's a year away. If only 81 million people had not decided in 2024 that it wasn't worth their time to go vote.
if that was indeed tampered, how do we ensure the 2026 won’t be?
But you can only really tamper with elections when they're very close. If Musk did something with the swing states, he had as cover a virtual dead heat in the polls between the two candidates. Exit polls in 2024 were very close to the outcome. 1/
Do we still have elections during war? B-2 bombers are expected to arrive in Iran about 6pm EST…
It's hard to tamper your way to a victory when exit polls say you lost by 15%.
Also, it's easier to tamper with one election (President) than 470 separate elections, I would think. 2/
I honestly think he's out to control the state, and getting his grip on So Cal the start.
Yes, he's out to provoke and rile, but honestly think getting control of Calif his end game, and everything a step by step.
My guess would be $$$ - IF the Feds are actually paying them instead of CA residents.
Palm Springs temp is 100 today vs. 74 in LA. Hard to even give away hotel rooms in summer, so there are likely lots of cheap rooms available.
The orange felon is likely bigly mad there is no rump tower for them to stay where he can overcharge them at our expense!
I can't even watch the news anymore. Events get more and more horrific each day.
I think the best course of action is for the blue states to secede from the union. They're the ones with all the money. DJT's military can't compete with that.
He'll back off. 💙
Lots of $$$, lots of human & physical resources, lots of reasons to want absolute power over it.
The Orange buffoon is a puppet of former Californian Stephen Miller.
He tends to makes more mistakes when he’s ego is on the nightly news.
By the way, Twentynine Palms is closer to Palm Springs than Arizona. 29 Palms Marine base 7 hours from the AZ border that’s around 440 miles.
Those are the 4 main counties in Southern Calif.
Now add in the Coachella Valley and you pretty much have Southern California locked down.
The only thing beyond that is Arizona.
-Coachella Valley is in the aforementioned Riverside County
-You left out San Bernardino if you mean "main county" in terms of population or area
-You also left out Imperial if you mean border counties
As you mentioned, there is nothing really to the south as far as infrastructure. They would have to base operations in, say, Indio, IMO, or camp out with scorpions.
The guy who posted it had an embedded caption that said "Heading to Palm Springs"
That's all I know.
I've seen huge convoys in Idaho when I used to live there.
These are not summer AT drills. If they were, why are ICE vehicles following them, like in Mecca, Riverside, Santa Ana etc?
No one to pick produce
No truckers needed to ship produce
No packaging canning plant workers needed to process
No or limited produce in stores
GOP trying to cripple CA economy.

Los Angeles, San Diego, Orange County, and Riverside.
Add in the Coachella Valley and what do you have?
The only thing beyond that is Arizona.
They'd rile up the cities.
If they're in fact heading to Mexican border, they're just going back to what they were doing before--helping CBP control the border.
CA is way too big geographically to control.
Lots of likely undocumented folks out in Coachella valley who came to work in the fields, but tons less people than LA area. Trump wants to rile people up and showing up in Palm Springs is just not it.
I humbly .... ponder!!!
Just a thought! WHY do Psychopath 'Dodgy Donnie' Trump's MASKED version of the Gestapo/Waffen-SS have 'Silencers' on their weapons?!?

Look out, couches.
But PS metro area is fairly contained, less than half a million people and surrounded by desert and mountains. If you want to carry out raids without so much pushback, that makes sense. And its 105 degrees right now, with 111 expected within a week.
Only that beyond the Coachella Valley there is nothing, and pretty much the last stop before Arizona.
So it's the furthest out of So Cal & the last thing that Trump would want to secure/seize.
He's not sending Vance out here for some lunch talks.
And if Los Angeles on its own was the big concern, as they claim, then why the NG in San Diego, Riverside, Orange County, and now Coachella Valley?
Draw a circle around that & just ask why?
Just bc there are a handful of NG in those places doesn't mean they are "captured."
And no, there aren't enough NG anywhere to lock down anything yet, as you said.
But the numbers are growing, not decreasing, and the areas of presence increasing too.
Why?
It’s also #Florida 🙄
