04 April 18 AM It's Live on the HomePage Now: Reader Supported News Kareem Abdul-Jabbar | Don't Be Fooled, 'Roseanne' Is Really TV's Most Anti-Trump Show  Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Hollywood Reporter Abdul-Jabbar writes: "The day after the Roseanne revival premiered to massive ratings, President Donald Trump bragged at a Cleveland rally that the show's success was because 'it was about us.' He's right, but not in the flattering way he thinks."

READ MORE POSSE COMITATUS EXCERPTS: In a number of states, especially in the Western United States, sheriffs and other law enforcement agencies have called their civilian auxiliary groups "posses." The Lattimer Massacre of 1897 illustrated the danger of such groups, and thus ended their use in situations of civil unrest. In the United States, a federal statute known as the Posse Comitatus Act forbids the use of the United States Army, and through it, its offspring, the United States Air Force, as a posse comitatus or for law enforcement purposes without the approval of Congress. A directive from the Secretary of Defense prohibits the use of the United States Navy and United States Marine Corps for law enforcement. No such limitation exists on the United States Coast Guard, which can be used for all law enforcement purposes (for example, Coast Guardsmen were used as temporary Air Marshals for many months after the 9/11 attacks) except when, as during World War II, a part of the Coast Guard is placed under the command of the Navy. This part would then fall under the regulations governing the Navy in this matter, rather than those concerning the Coast Guard. The limitation also does not apply to the National Guard when activated by a state's governor and operating in accordance with Title 32 of the U.S. Code (for example, National Guardsmen were used extensively by state governors during Hurricane Katrina response actions). Conversely, the limitation would apply to the National Guard when activated by the President and operating in accordance with Title 10 of the U.S. Code.[9] Nasim Aghdam.
