*June 3, 1916
The National Defense Act was signed into law by President Woodrow Wilson(D) in response to the campaign by the 'Preparedness Movement' championed by former president Theodore Roosevelt and General Leonard Wood. The National Defense Act of 1916 updated the Militia Act of 1903. It provided for an expanded army during peace and wartime, fourfold expansion of the National Guard, the creation of an Officers' and an Enlisted Reserve Corps, plus the creation of a Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) in colleges and universities. The President was also given authority, in case of war or national emergency, to mobilize the National Guard for the duration of the emergency.
The Preparedness Movement arose prior to U.S. entry into World War I due in part to deteriorating relations between Germany and Great Britian, Germany's policy of unrestricted submarine warfare that sunk the passenger ship HMS Lusitania in 1915, plus Mexican revolutionary general Pancho Villa and his army raided Columbus, New Mexico in March 1916. That raid escalated into a full-scale battle between general Villa's army and the United States Army. It all combined to highlighted the need to reinforce the nation's armed forces.

Leftists hate people, particularly black people. Black lives do not matter to Leftists - only the politically expedient ones.

Retired St. Louis police captain killed by looters
"David Dorn, 77, was found dead on the sidewalk in front of Lee’s Pawn & Jewelry about 2:30 a.m. Tuesday. No arrests have been made.Has Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi(D) condemned this murder and looting? Why does this man's black life not matter to Pelosi? Her silence must be a 'dog whistle' to incite more murder and looting against black people. What else could it be?
The shooting and theft apparently was posted on Facebook Live, but the video has since been taken down. It came on a violent night in St. Louis, where four officers were shot, officers were pelted with rocks and fireworks, and 55 businesses were burglarized or damaged, including a convenience store that burned. Police also shot and gravely injured a burglary suspect who they say shot at officers."

"After thousands of false tweets, print stories, and broadcast stories to the contrary, local journalist Neal Augenstein of WTOP reported that a Park Police source said “tear gas was never used — instead smoke canisters were deployed, which don’t have an uncomfortable irritant in them.” Further, the source said the crowd was dispersed because of projectiles being thrown by the “peaceful protesters” at the Park Police and because “peaceful protesters” had climbed on top of a structure in Lafayette Park that had been burned the prior night."Has Speaker of the House Nancy pelosi(D) condemned these media lies to demonize Trump?
