(Natural News)—In anticipation of rioting or even a second civil war following the upcoming election, the Department of Defense (DoD) is preliminarily gutting the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 to allow for the U.S. military to execute law, i.e., martial law, on American soil.
As it was written, Posse Comitatus does not allow for any constitutional exceptions. The U.S. military is not supposed to be involved with law enforcement activities in any capacity whatsoever, and yet the Congress-passed bill has been so watered down over the past 50 years or so that armed soldiers could soon become commonplace on the streets of America.
“The law allows only for express exceptions, and no part of the Constitution expressly empowers the president to use the military to execute the law,” explains the Brennan Center about how Posse Comitatus is supposed to work.
“This conclusion is consistent with the law’s legislative history, which suggests that its drafters chose to include the language about constitutional exceptions as part of a face-saving compromise, not because they believed any existed.”
Despite all this, the DoD has decided that there are constitutional exceptions of Posse Comitatus. And because nobody with any power is willing to do anything to stop the DoD, the militarization of America’s police forces will continue to expand like a frog boiling in a pot.
“The Department has long claimed that the Constitution implicitly gives military commanders ’emergency authority’ to unilaterally use federal troops ‘to quell large-scale, unexpected civil disturbances’ when doing so is ‘necessary’ and prior authorization by the president is impossible,” the Brennan Center further says.
“In the past, the department also claimed an inherent constitutional power to use the military to protect federal property and functions when local governments could not or would not do so. The validity of these claimed authorities has never been tested in court.”

No, the DoD cannot legally override Congress
The DoD chipped away at what is arguably the last remaining power of Posse Comitatus with the recent implementation of Directive 5240.01, which appears to expand the power of the executive branch, in this case the Biden regime, to weaponize the U.S. military against American citizens.
Instead of only being allowed to deploy troops overseas to fight wars under the direction of Congress, the White House will now, it seems, be able to deploy troops to the streets of America to crack down on whatever nightmare is about to erupt as a result of the nation’s irreparable political divide.
The following new provisions were implemented under Directive 5240.01:
- While assassination of Americans is strictly forbidden, the directive’s language allows for lethal actions to be used against Americans who are deemed as “imminent threats.”
- The directive expands the definition of “national security threats,” aligning with the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) broader definition of domestic terrorism threats.
- Any intelligence-sharing that could result in lethal force being used must first be approved by the Secretary of Defense. However, Component Heads are still allowed to act immediately using lethal force for up to 72 hours before obtaining approval.
“Imagine waking up to discover that the U.S. military has quietly been granted the authority to assist in domestic law enforcement activities – including the use of lethal force against U.S. citizens in certain circumstances,” reports Technocracy.news, citing GreenMedInfo.
“Now consider that this change was enacted just weeks before an election, already surrounded by concerns about unrest, civil liberties, and potential government overreach. This is the reality of DoD Directive 5240.01, reissued on September 27, 2024.”

Three Reasons a Coffee Gift Set From This Christian Company Is Perfect for Christmas
When you’re searching for a Christmas gift that’s meaningful, useful, and rooted in faith, you don’t want to settle for anything generic. This season is filled with noise — mass-produced products, last-minute picks, and trends that fade as quickly as they appear. But one gift stands apart because it blends genuine quality with a message that matters: a coffee gift set from Promised Grounds Coffee.
This small Christian-owned company has become a favorite among believers who want to support faith-driven businesses while giving friends and family something they’ll actually enjoy. Here are three reasons a Promised Grounds Coffee gift set may be the most thoughtful and impactful present you give this year.
1. It’s Truly Delicious Coffee
Too many “gift-worthy” coffees look beautiful in the package but disappoint when the cup is poured. Promised Grounds takes the opposite approach — exceptional taste first, thoughtful presentation second.
Their beans are sourced with care, roasted in small batches, and crafted to bring out a rich, smooth flavor profile that appeals to both casual drinkers and true coffee lovers. Whether someone enjoys bold, dark roasts or lighter, more delicate blends, every sip reflects quality that stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the biggest specialty brands.
Simply put: this coffee is good. Really good. Some say it’s absolutely fantastic. If you want a gift that won’t be re-gifted, ignored, or shoved in a cabinet, this is it.
2. It Spreads the Word While Serving a Real Purpose
There are many Christian gifts that are meaningful… but not exactly practical. There are also useful gifts that have nothing to do with faith. Promised Grounds Coffee bridges both worlds beautifully.
Each gift set delivers an encouraging, faith-centered message through its packaging and presentation — a simple but powerful reminder of God’s goodness during the Christmas season. The cups are especially popular and serve as a daily reminder of the blessings from our Lord. At the same time, the product itself is something people will actually use and appreciate every single day.
It’s a gift that uplifts the spirit and fills the mug. A gift that points loved ones toward Scripture while still being part of the normal rhythm of life. And in a culture that increasingly pushes faith to the margins, giving a gift that quietly but confidently honors Christ can make a deeper impact than you might expect.
3. It’s Affordable, Valuable, and Elegantly Presented
Many people want to give something meaningful without breaking their Christmas budget. Promised Grounds Coffee strikes that perfect balance — the sets look and feel premium, but the price remains accessible.
The packaging is classy, clean, and gift-ready, making it ideal for:
- Family members of all ages
- Co-workers or employees
- Church friends or small-group leaders
- Hosts, neighbors, and last-minute gift needs
It’s the kind of gift that feels more expensive than it is — and more thoughtful than most of what you’ll find on store shelves.
The Perfect Blend of Faith, Flavor, and Christmas Cheer
A coffee gift set from Promised Grounds Coffee checks every box: a gift that tastes amazing, conveys your faith, supports a Christian business, and brings daily enjoyment to the person who receives it. In a season when so many gifts are forgotten, this one stands out for all the right reasons.
If you want a Christmas present that reflects your values and delivers genuine joy, Promised Grounds Coffee is the perfect place to start.
Who’s Hitler? This escalated quickly, didn’t it? It only took 4 months from Biden suggesting he would use instruments of war against American citizens to actually granting unprecedented authorization for “his” military to use deadly force against American citizens.

Bolshevik hacks who were arbitrarily implanted at the Pentagon by Valerie Jarrett or whomever do not have real power to command the still largely patriotic Armed Forces to act against the Citizenry. Paper Hyenas!
It may get very ugly. Globalists own most companies in America and own no allegiance to America.
And where are the republicans? Oh that’s right. On board and fully complicit.
They are outnumbered by over 1000-1 and that’s on the conservative side alone.
Its good to know their stance
Maybe Congress should first encourage our military to protect and defend our borders. Where is Congress on this one though? See Article 1, Section 1.
