National Guard Troops guarding the capitol now have a new enemy: contaminated, and even sabotaged, food.
At least one member of the Michigan national guard was reportedly hospitalized earlier this year after being served what was described as ‘substandard’ food.
In addition, ‘metal shavings, feathers, and undercooked meat’ where also found by members of the guard in the food they were being served while guarding the Capitol building.
As The Daily Wire reports:
At least one member of the Michigan National Guard was hospitalized with food poisoning from “substandard” items served to the men protecting the United States Capitol earlier this year, and others complained of tainted food, with some saying they found metal shavings and feathers in their provided meals…
While a number of units have since been allowed to return to their home states, some units are still in D.C. and could remain there until the end of March — and, if some lawmakers get their way, until at least May.
But while the nation is spending millions to keep the Guard housed and fed while they protect the nation’s capital, National Guard members who have returned from duty say the military stationed in and around the Capitol is being mistreated. The Michigan National Guard, specifically, lodged a complaint with Congress this week, alleging a major issue with meals served to National Guard members.
“In their final days protecting the U.S. Capitol from a potential reprise of domestic terrorism, members of the Michigan National Guard reported metal shavings, feathers, and undercooked meat found in substandard meals, a potential readiness risk that has hospitalized troops,” local Michigan media reported. “Michigan members of the House of Representatives wrote a letter Tuesday to Gen. Daniel Hokanson, chief of the National Guard, expressing their displeasure with the findings.”
Is this how America’s service men and women deserve to be treated while safe guarding Democracy?
With Dems in charge this is exactly how they treat the men and women who protect us with their lives. The Dems hate the military and only want it to protect them from the angry “true” citizens and patriots who are hip to their socialist/communist agenda. They are the party of users. Use people for their nefarious agenda and treat them like dirt along the way.
The military should have arrested globalists and globalist puppet $oro$ and globalist puppet democrat criminal party and globalist puppet rino criminal party and globalist puppet, chester the molester biden for stealing our election but instead they protect them from no one intending to harm them . The libby snow flakes wearing MAGA hats and MAGA shirts that globalist puppet $oro$ transported to the capitol had no intentions of hurting their globalist puppet democrat criminal party or globalist puppet rino criminal party, their only goal was to pretend they are Americans and Trump supporters .
Globalism is communism repackaged. This process is as old as Marx, and they’re getting better at it with each campaign. Any time we hear of some “Global” issue, and how only governments can resolve the same, look and listen for the clangs of Hammers and Sickles.

Now it is apparent that you have never served, or you would know it is the Military commander who is responsible for anything that his personnel needs. No politician or civilian has any say in the matter. As a 26 year veteran officer i know this from actual experience.
The military commanders are dictated to from higher positions! My dad was a 30+ year veteran of the military. Those that are true to the red, white and blue carry out the orders of their superiors no matter what.
But what about the caterers? Remember Washington is very liberal and the mayor ordered all Hotels and Restaurants to close and not serve Conservatives?
What you say is true to a point. I bet if president Trump was around he would have been their and to see that troops were taken care of better. Remember when the National guard were in city garage and he moved them to his hotel. The real big question why are they now? Is DC under martial law?
Hate is a little exaggerated. Democrats will minister to the military on an ‘as-needed’ basis to encourage our troops to fight their conflicts. Otherwise, military people are in the same boat as civilians, who will be subject to tax/costs of living increases, speech codes and other Big Government activities. When I was on active duty in the 1970s, my car was in the looooong lines at gas stations as we waited to buy our ration of fuel.
It would stand to reason that sooner than later, these idiotic Democratic Socialists will be turned on by the very men and women they want to use for their own protection. Mark my word and mark it well.
We can only hope.
Biden and his goons will never do anything good for the country
They can’t do everything good for globalists and globalist puppet $oro$ and also do something good for the country, it is either globalists or country but you can’t favor both .
globalists and globalist puppet $oro$ and globalist puppet democrat criminal party probably intentionally poisoned their food .
You can bet it is intentional . Any body that reported this will be charged as a traitor .
Haven’t you heard? “Hanoi Jane” Fonda is going to receive an award. I would love to present it to her…..
I’d tell her to bend over
Since I first heard about this disgusting treatment I wondered if it was done purposely by the food contractor’s employees. This is leftist DC, you know, and the left hates our military. The question we all should be asking is why governors are still allowing their state’s Guard to be there. They have the authority to pull them out and they should. This is totally unnecessary to have them there and is quite telling how Democrats are afraid of “We the People.”
This is only the democrats guilt making them feel their lives are in danger. They stole the election and sold this country out. I wouldnt doubt that they are the ones who gave china the code to everything that has been hacked. And all this money going to ukraine and all the other countries is a payoff for their involvement in the election. Shame on them!
Washington DC has a failed city government, such that this city should never become a State of the USA!!
Time for the Governors to Recall those National Guard Troops 0Biden doesn’t need that many troops for Protection, The REAL Reason they are still there Is to Promote the “Donkey People’s FEAR CAMPAIGN!
Totally agree! All the troops should go home…now!
First Soros, I don’t believe is the puppet, he is the puppet master. Second the National Gaurd is NOT defending democracy but protecting the corrupt tratiors who are our politicians. So please stop with the lies and misrepresentations to make it look like the gaurd is doing good. Now this is NOT putting down the membership of the guard, you know the boots on the ground soldiers. No this is calling out the leadership for what they are, traitors. Just the facts.
I wonder when the first shot will be fired as soon as a libtard gets the bullet it’ll be game on .
this is a powder keg waiting to explode Biden must be stopped before it’s to late
Biden has no clue what is going on. They only drag him out of bed when they have to and reporters have to submit their questions ahead of time. Hey CNN, does your ill-mannered Jim Acosta do that too ?
Like everything else liberal, they had to fabricate some event to justify the protections we’re now hearing about. They knew damn well that the people would suspect corruption on a grand scale during this coup.
Why did the headline say “defending”????? Defending from what or whom? Y’all are getting as bad as Pelosi and that banjo playing escapee from Deliverance that 81m people voted for. What’s next…….. White Supremacists taint Nat’l Guard food ?
There is no reason for them to still be there.
This should never happen to our Servicemen & women! There is no reason for them to be there anyway, except to be put on display for Pelosi and her followers. But, since they are there, treat them with the respect they deserve and give them proper housing and food! They do not deserve the food they have been given which looks like it’s been taken out of dumpsters! Maybe we could serve that to the Democrats and Joe Biden! Disgraceful! By the way, where are they being housed? Hoping not in the garage area. This would never been allowed under uTrump!
The military should walk away and tell them to look after themselves
This just cements the way soldiers are mistreated by the Dems. Let their hatred of all that is right about our democracy solidify the armed forces and the massive gun owning population of our Country. You’ll know when you’ve gone to far when the Congress shows up for work and the soldiers are gone. What you gonna do when they come for YOU! Nuff’said.
The demorats hate the military and this crap just adds to it. Time for them to go home and tell pilosi to pound sand.
You can also bet that the officers are not eating the slop the enlisted men and women are forced to eat, they are eating in the capital dining room with all the trimmings , wine , women and song.
I think if I were in the guard I would quit as soom as I got home. You know you can just walk out if you have served in the U.S. military your six years obligation .
The Governors should redeploy their troops back home soon, and without question. The Federal Government cannot mandate or order the National Guard to remain in Washington. They are not Title 10 soldiers, and until they are declared Title 10 they are under the control of the Governor of the state they came from in the first place. If they are changed from Title 32 to Title 10 it becomes even more cloudy. Title 10 soldiers are active duty soldiers. By the Constitution, they cannot be used in a police enforcement role. It is called Posse Comitaus, and it is Federal Law. I seriously doubt the Dems even know what Posse Comitaus is and how it works. They best go find a Federal Lawyer.
The contractor providing the food to these troops was contracted by the National Guard….NOT Joe Biden. Lawmakers have brought the issue to the National Guard’s attention, and instead of hiring a new food vendor THEY are pushing back saying that only a small percentage have gotten sick. If you’re competent enough to maintain a website that solicits views via email, please explain why you are NOT competent enough to provide the facts in an honest manner like other news outlets are doing…both on the left AND right. What exactly do you gain by emailing thousands of people a link that states “Troops get detestable treatment under Biden”? More division? More anger? More rage? Yes, of course. But those are just the human side effects of your PRIMARY intent which is to lure people to your website to generate more $$ for yourself. The American people are being played by irresponsible media outlets like this because it most of them haven’t realized yet that THEY are the product you’re offering to your advertisers. Shame on you for promoting garbage and compounding the issues we are trying to overcome. Shame on you for leading Americans down a path of hostility and irrational thinking for no other reason than to sell advertising and line your own pockets.
Socialist/Communism(All the same), hard at work. A rose by any other name is still a rose – in the case of the lefties it’s a commie by any other name is still a commie-well entrenched in this country-of course they abuse the military all the while using them to protect them “from the evil within”. Yea right.
I think the failure here is that we still think the military protects us…. That is not what the liberals think…. They think THEY protect us… We need them to survive…. and if we don’t yet, they will do all they can to see to it that changes.
But, it absolutely is unthinkable how our National Guard troops are being treated – mistreated – and manipulated and kept from their families….
quick have dr First Lady take them some cookies!
It’s only going to get worse, now that they control the voting. HR1 passes the Republican Party is done with!! All the good works Sylvia Powell did will be for nothing.
AMERICA WILL NOW FALL UNDER DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP ALL DUE TO THEIR HATRED FOR DONALD J TRUMP
The National guard are STATE TROOPS and the Governors of these states should recall their troops from Washington, these troops are no longer required and are being extremely poorly treated by the Washington politicians who apparently have little or no regard for the personnel!
Failure of the Governors to recall their troops is failure to maintain the Guard personnel and the Governors should be sanctioned and/or removed from office!
SOME ONE BETTER MOVE THEIR ARSE REAL FAST AND FIND OUT WHO WAS FEEDING OUR MEN THAT UNSAFE FOOD AND FINE THEM BIG TIME AND GET OUR GUYS BETTER FOOD INSTANTLY. AND MAKE THAT KNOWLEDGE OF WHO WAS FEEDING OUR MEN –PUBLIC.
These are the very same troops the Demon-crats will expect to protect them when they’ve “poked the bear” one time too many. Our troops deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. So, when the time comes, they should respond to the Demon-crats with upraised middle fingers while they, at minimum, stand aside and watch justice being served.
Here we go again with so much BS it would take an giant earth mover to move all of it. Now any Military or former Military knows that during deployment it is the military’s sole responsibility to take care of the troops, no one else. I spent 26 years in that US Military as a Combat officer, and was in charge of many deployments and all was my responsibility, not a civilian or a politician. Pelosi, Biden, or no other person except the commander in charge is responsible for the food, housing, and care of those troop[s under his command.
This is exactly what causes so much divide in this USA at present, persons telling out right les about the situation on the ground.
Pelosi – send our NG troops home to their families and jobs before you end up freezing them to death or killing them with what they’re being fed. Metal in their food? Time for an investigation.
Our national guardsmen aren’t stupid they know who the real enemy is and they’re probably having a bite their lip from turning their back on these communist operatives bring our boys and girls home to the states from which they come from ,,away from some swamp filled shit hole
The Democraps hate the military, and Biden is the commander in chief???, God help us
How are you going to “woke” soldiers you mistreat? All military has every Patriot behind them. Maybe we should join forces with the military. You said 85% of the military voted for President Trump. Shouldn’t be to hard. Ya’ think?
metal shavings is what communist do
Simple question…..How the hell does the Democrats get away with this and dozens of other nefarious schemes to retain their power base?
For shame on them, our military should have the best.
Joe Biden has always said how stupid our military is! He doesn’t give a d*mn about them or police officers!!! Him, his VP, & Nancy Pelosi probably had this done to the National Guards food on purpose!!! DEMOCRATIC TERRORISTS!!! 🤬🤬🤬
no mention of where this food is coming from or who is preparing it. Wouldn’t that be pertinent to the story?
[email protected]
[email protected]. I believe they best find out what is going on, this to me it is being planned murder. All of them are human beings and wo is cooking who supplies the food, whoever is in charge with this problem best get with it.
As I recall, a similar event happened when my esteemed late uncle was a military officer, over fifty years ago. His unit once received Army mess rations adulterated with dangerous items. Shredded steel wool turned up in the analysis. Thankfully, the adulteration was discovered before the food reached the troops. These tactics are demonstrably old hat, long propagated by the enemies of this nation. Beware, Communists! The military are a dangerous sleeping giant, a loyal ally, but once the tide turns, a treacherous enemy.
The National Guard should eat in the Congressional cafeteria with the congressmen…on Pelosi’s dime. She’s the one keeping them in Washington.
This idiotic and self absorbed administration will weaken our military like it has never been weakened before, even during Obama’s or Clinton’s administration. Contact your Representatives and Senators and ride their asses until they vote to support our military!!
It’s a shame to see these troops made to sleep in parking garages, WHILE THE GARAGES WERE STILL BEING USED. It was damp and musty. If this is the way Biden wants our troops to be treated, the Governors should call their troops home so they can be treated properly. Then just randomly give meals to Biden, Pelosi, and the rest of them that are trying to destroy our country. They don’t even like the military, until they need them. Bring our guard back home and let social workers handle what needs to be done there.
None of the democrat presidents have been friends of the men and women in the military. The good friend of the democrats, henry kissenger, calls our best and bravest soldiers “meat” and that pretty much sums up how the demoncrats feel about our men and women in the military. The demoncrats don’t seem to realize that God Almighty is watching them and that a day of reckoning will come for all of them.
ssssooooo why isn’t the question asked? where did the food come from? wouldn’t it be as easy as that? you tell me
This is a classical example of how the democraps feel about our military! Send them home now!
The Rats are really very evil! As James mentions in the Bible, you cannot serve 2 masters! Either you believe in God and honour HIS Commandments, or you fall into the dark side and Thats whats happened to a lot of them. Many just want a job so go along with it, others are plain evil and will stop at nothing. In Hollywood they get “Groomed” for satanic forces and pedophilia and other horrible practices. Good bye Holywood
Find new food source for NG forces or risk demoralized Units when needed if any for fake Pelosi Schumer rigged threats
