President Trump’s plan to deploy the National Guard to Memphis ignites fierce debate over constitutional limits, local control, and the future of public safety in America’s cities. Trump’s Announcement Triggers Constitutional Debate On Friday, President Donald Trump declared his intention to send the National Guard and federal agents to Memphis, Tennessee, citing urgent crime concerns. He claimed, during a Fox News interview, to have support from both Memphis Mayor Paul Young and Tennessee Governor Bill Lee. This move follows earlier threats to deploy troops to cities like Chicago and Washington, D.C., and has rapidly escalated into a flashpoint over the boundaries of federal authority and local autonomy. Trump’s direct assertion of bipartisan local support is directly contradicted by public statements from these officials, intensifying the dispute. In the immediate aftermath, local officials and legal experts voiced strong opposition. Mayor Young acknowledged discussions with federal authorities but did not endorse the use of National Guard troops, instead calling for increased funding and law enforcement partnerships. Shelby County Mayor Lee Harris condemned the idea of military patrols in Memphis, warning such actions are “anti-democratic and anti-American.” The Tennessee Governor, while open to more law enforcement resources, has not publicly supported military deployment. These contrasting positions expose a deep rift between federal ambitions and the priorities of local leaders, who emphasize community trust and constitutional protections over heavy-handed tactics. Legal and Democratic Concerns Intensify Trump’s proposed deployment tests the limits of federal power under the Posse Comitatus Act, which restricts military involvement in domestic law enforcement except under specific conditions. Previous instances of military deployment to American cities, such as Washington, D.C. and Los Angeles, have faced significant legal challenges and public backlash. Experts in constitutional law caution that normalizing military intervention in local policing could set a dangerous precedent, eroding civil liberties and undermining the checks and balances at the heart of American democracy. Critics argue that such measures risk escalating tensions, especially in predominantly Black communities with a history of strained relations with authorities. Memphis, one of the nation’s largest majority-Black cities, has grappled with elevated crime rates and public safety challenges. However, local leaders consistently advocate for solutions grounded in community engagement and resource allocation rather than militarized enforcement. Legal scholars and civil rights advocates warn that bypassing local consent and deploying federal troops upends foundational democratic norms, potentially chilling civic participation and fostering mistrust between the government and its citizens. Public anxiety is further compounded by memories of past federal interventions, which often resulted in political turmoil and legal disputes. Escalating Tensions and Uncertain Next Steps The announcement has triggered widespread debate among policymakers, legal experts, and Memphis residents. Short-term consequences include heightened political tension and possible protests, while long-term implications could involve legal challenges and shifts in the balance of power between federal and local authorities. Local officials warn of potential economic disruption if military presence escalates, alongside increased fear and mistrust in affected neighborhoods. Meanwhile, the White House continues to frame the move as necessary for public safety, but widespread opposition suggests a challenging path forward. As of now, no formal deployment has taken place; discussions between local, state, and federal officials continue amid mounting scrutiny and public outcry. Trump Says He'll Send National Guard to Memphis to Address Crime Concerns https://t.co/FGjrY5JeZZ — ElGreco (@ErnieElGreco) September 12, 2025 Ultimately, the controversy underscores a critical national debate over the appropriate balance between federal intervention and local governance—a debate that goes to the heart of American constitutional values. With the legal landscape unsettled and local support in question, the coming days will reveal whether constitutional norms and community priorities can withstand mounting pressure for top-down enforcement. For conservatives and defenders of local autonomy, the stakes could not be higher: the preservation of constitutional limits, individual liberties, and the foundational principle that the government should serve—and not override—the will of the people.

Less than a year after celebrating their engagement, Shaun White and Nina Dobrev have separated. After five years together, the pair chose to go their separate ways, a source shared with People. The insider shared the couple made “a mutual decision, and it wasn’t an easy one, but it was made with love and a deep respect for one another.” Neither Shaun nor Nina has publicly responded to the news, but the unpinning of their couple’s lavish engagement photos on Instagram sends a subtle, yet very loud message. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Nina Dobrev (@nina) Shaun White And Nina Dobrev Appeared Very Happy Together According to People, the pair last appeared together in public on August 31. Shaun White held Nina Dobrev’s hand, and her engagement ring was dazzling on her finger. But just a few days later September 7, Nina appeared on the red carpet alone on the red carpet at the Toronto Film Festival. She smiled for the cameras at the premiere of Eternity and captioned her post very simply, “Here’s to Eternity.” Shaun has also stayed active on social media, posting photos of himself during a trip to Chile. The couple appeared so happy together, which makes the breakup so much harder to take. When they got engaged in 2024, Shaun White gushed about his love for Nina Dobrev. “Still floating after this night! I’m beside myself to be with this amazing woman and to be joining her beautiful family!! Our quarantine romance turned into this beautiful relationship and now a forever love. Believe me when I say that this app mostly shows us at our best,” he wrote. Shaun alluded to the couple’s troubles but appeared confident that they were in it for the long haul. “Behind the curtain like any relationship, we’ve had our struggles. But it’s our ability to communicate and repair that keeps us moving forward together. I’m so thankful for the life lessons, gratitude, adventure and love that Nina has taught me, and I only wish to show her the same in return. I guess we are doing the dam thing, baby!” This story’s featured image is by Hollywood To You/Star Max/GC Images.

More than half of Americans care about the mark they will leave on the world, and even more are concerned about the impression they leave on their loved ones (80%), according to a new survey. The poll of 2,000 adults found that over half (54%) of respondents say they want to leave a positive legacy […] The post Legacy and Love Take Priority for Aging Americans, Shows New Survey of What People Are Leaving Behind appeared first on Good News Network.

“You have to try to point them towards ultimate purposes and towards getting back to the church, getting back to faith, getting married, having children … I’m trying to paint a picture of virtue of lifting people up, not just staying angry,” Charlie Kirk said last week. Now he is dead, assassinated on a college campus. I started my radio program on Sept. 10, telling my audience that events change things. On Sept. 9, 2025, we woke up to white smoke over Doha, Qatar, a new Hamas leader having been chosen by an Israeli air strike. Before bed that night, Russia had flown drones into Polish airspace. Twenty-four years ago, as people left their offices in the World Trade Center on Sept. 10, 2001, they expected to return the next day, finish the work on their desks, have meetings and lunches, and prepare to do it all over again the next day. Events change things. Before I left the air on the 10th, I would have to tell my audience that Charlie Kirk had been shot. Kirk built the youth movement on the right through Turning Point USA. We did not always agree or see eye to eye, but there was a lot of value in his work. In a pattern I recognize from my own life, as he got older, got married, and had kids, he matured and became less brash and more contemplative. He spent more and more time calling people to the church than to politics. He spoke about how heterodox it was to call on people to get married, have kids, and go to church, but it was a message that resonated. Over the past number of years, there have been more and more acts of violence in politics. MSNBC operates as an assassination fan fiction network. As an assassin fired at President Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, the conversation on MSNBC, while the bullet was in the air, was on the need to stop Trump, who would otherwise be an authoritarian threatening our democracy. Shortly after the assassin shot Kirk, MSNBC’s commentary ranged from Kirk bringing this on himself to suggesting perhaps the bullet came from a Kirk fan celebrating. The day before Kirk’s assassination, Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy told Chuck Todd, “Our only chance to save our democracy is to fight fire with fire right now … We’re in a war right to save this country, and so you have to be willing to do whatever is necessary to save the country.” Someone took up arms for that supposed war and fought Charlie Kirk’s words with bullets. When Trump says things that the Left believes are violent, they demand that others denounce him. Any act of violence by anyone on the right is tied to Trump and rightwing sentiment. But time and time again, when someone on the Left acts out violently, the progressive American press, Democrats, the cultural elite, and Hollywood always find an excuse to say it was not them. Floyd Lee Corkins attempted the mass assassination of the Family Research Council. James Hodgkinson attempted the mass assassination of Republican members of Congress. Two would-be assassins attempted to kill Trump. Just last weekend, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz lamented that rumors of Trump’s death were not true. Luigi Mangione killed United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, and the Left treated it as vigilante justice. Decarlo Brown Jr. stabbed Iryna Zarutska to death in Charlotte, North Carolina, and the Left insisted we empathize with the murderer. Yaron Lischinsky and Sara Milgrim, two Israeli Embassy employees, were murdered by an antisemite in Washington, D.C. The Left keeps embracing violence. But point that out, and the press and Democrats jump to “both sides do it” and give a list of right-wing violence. First, there is no need to keep score with a body count. Second, the Left and Democrat leaders need to acknowledge that Democrat politicians and MSNBC hosts have been prodding progressives towards violence. Data consistently shows progressives are the most mentally fragile people in the nation, overwhelmed with despair, and Democrat politicians are grooming that fragility for violence. They must stop, or we all may lose control of what comes next. COPYRIGHT 2025 CREATORS.COM We publish a variety of perspectives.

Why the Left is So Hard to Defeat

Hollywood is getting the knack for this blacklist thing. The industry has operated an unofficial ban on conservative artists for years. Denizens don’t speak openly about it, and they occasionally let some right-leaning actors work without punishment. Think Jon Voight, Kelsey Grammer and Tim Allen. For many others, especially James Woods, Kevin Sorbo and Scott Baio, being on the Right means good luck finding work in La La Land. Conservatives once met in secret, under the Friends of Abe banner, to share how they were persecuted for voting the “wrong” way.   Zachary Levi of SHAZAM fame gets detailed about why conservatives in Hollywood are uniquely oppressed by the left. Liberals have caused conservatives to "go in the closet" so that 50% of us can't be artists and speak our values in liberal industries; comics, animation and video… pic.twitter.com/J4O3n15Pqe — Doug TenNapel (@DougTenNapel) October 21, 2024   Hollywood’s newest blacklist doesn’t operate under the cover of darkness. Everyone is talking about it, and it just keeps growing. The list of industry professionals boycotting Israeli-linked film organizations stood at 1,900 yesterday. It just doubled in 24 hours. The far-Left Variety’s headline pretty much says it all:  Joaquin Phoenix, Nicola Coughlan and More Join 3,900 Industry Names Pledging Not to Work With Israeli Film Institutions ‘Complicit in War Crimes’ Some of these stars happily accepted work with Disney, a studio that plays footsie with China and thanked the freedom-averse nation for collaborating on a project near concentration camps. The very public list members agree, “they will refuse to work with Israeli institutions and companies [emphasis added] that are “implicated in genocide and apartheid against the Palestinian people,” according to Variety. Here’s the official pledge: Inspired by Filmmakers United Against Apartheid who refused to screen their films in apartheid South Africa, we pledge not to screen films, appear at or otherwise work with Israeli film institutions — including festivals, cinemas, broadcasters and production companies — that are implicated in genocide and apartheid against the Palestinian people. The Israeli Film and TV Producers Association called the boycott “profoundly misguided,” according to Fox News. That’s being generous. We didn’t see any such list demanding the release of the hostages in the last year. Hollywood did initially rally, to a degree, against Hamas in the wake of the Oct. 7 atrocities. It didn’t last long, and major Jewish stars like Steven Spielberg and Adam Sandler have been mostly quiet on the matter. Nor did the stars assemble at any point to decry the raging antisemitism across college campuses and major U.S. cities.       Here’s a partial list of the major names who have signed on to the new Blacklist. It’s a veritable who’s who of Hollywood. Emma Stone Joaquin Phoenix Javier Bardem Adam McKay Mike Leigh Ava DuVernay Olivia Colman Riz Ahmed Ayo Edebiri Lily Gladstone Mark Ruffalo Hannah Einbinder Cynthia Nixon Rooney Mara Bowen Yang Elliot Page Tilda Swinton Melissa Barrera That last name matters on a related front. The former “Scream” actress got briefly canceled by Hollywood for her extreme anti-Israel views. Her cancellation didn’t last long. Now, she’s a proud member of a starry list of A-listers. Attacking Israel has become the trendy position for actors on the rise. Some may see it as a way to boost their industry cred. Actor Nick Searcy has said that this brand of activism is a form of career advancement, a sign to fellow progressives that they’re part of the team and should be considered for future projects. Meanwhile, this starry list has stood by, awards show after awards show, not sharing a syllable about the innocent hostages being starved, if not worse, by the Palestinian government. A brave few stars have bucked this nauseating trend: Debra Messing, David Schwimmer, Patricia Heaton, John Ondrasik and Michael Rapaport. And some have paid a professional price for it. Rapaport once shamed his peers with this sobering Oscar sketch tied to the hostage crisis. It hit the bullseye but has yet to change any hearts and/or minds in his industry.     UPDATE: Jerry Seinfeld excoriated the “Free Palestine” movement in comments made Sept. 9 at Duke University. Free Palestine is, to me, just — you’re free to say you don’t like Jews … Just say you don’t like Jews. By saying ‘Free Palestine,’ you’re not admitting what you really think. So it’s actually — compared to the Ku Klux Klan, I’m actually thinking the Klan is actually a little better here because they can come right out and say, ‘We don’t like Blacks, we don’t like Jews.’ OK that’s honest.

Over 100,000 demonstrators packed the streets of London on Saturday afternoon for a "Unite the Kingdom" march led by British independent journalist Tommy Robinson. The march, featuring people holding the English flag aloft, comes as local councils across the United Kingdom are taking down English flags flown by Britons. Some politicians are calling the mere flying of the English flag a rallying point for "hate."'You either fight back, or you die.'Robinson live-streamed his festival on X, which opened with a prayer and featured musical performances, as well as speeches from actor Laurence Fox, Rebel News journalist Ezra Levant, and activist Sammy Woodhouse. His supporters packed the blocks around Whitehall, waving the Union flag of Britain and the red and white St. George's Cross of England. Some in the audience around the stage held photographs of Turning Point USA Founder Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated earlier this week."This is the biggest demonstration in Britain's history!" Robinson told the crowd. "This is your community. These are your brothers and your sisters. We today are united. Today is the spark of a cultural revolution in Great Britain.""They've managed to silence us for 20 years with labels: racist, Islamophobe, far-right. They don't work anymore," Robinson declared. "The silent majority will be silent no longer."He slammed the "globalist revolution" for attacking the family, Christianity, and opening the borders. Robinson connected Elon Musk to speak to the attendees via video chat. He thanked the billionaire for supporting freedom of speech by purchasing X.

You will have no choice.""You either fight back, or you die," Muck concluded.RELATED: Why the English flag now terrifies the regime Photo by Guy Smallman/Getty ImagesA counterprotest, "March Against Fascism," formed nearby, organized by the Stand Up To Racism group. Those demonstrators held up signs reading, "Oppose Tommy Robinson. Stop fascists & the far right."Left-wing media outlets labeled Robinson's march as an anti-immigration protest. Metropolitan Police claimed that the crowd was "too big to fit into Whitehall." The deparment further added, "We have deployed additional officers with protective equipment in multiple locations, supported by police horses, to deal with the disorder," via a social media post.
