Firing missiles at Camp Pendleton, a Marine base, not far from a major U.S. city? What could go wrong?
"Sources tell MeidasTouch the White House will shut down portions of the I-5 for Vice President JD Vance’s Marine Corps spectacle during No Kings Protests, triggering chaos, gridlock, and outrage amid the government shutdown.
...
MeidasTouch has learned from several sources that the White House has plans to close major sections of Interstate 5 for this Friday and Saturday.
...
The Trump administration is apparently finalizing plans for two days of events under the pretext of the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Marine Corps. Sources close to MeidasTouch describe the closure as part of a “vanity parade” that may involve Navy warships shooting live missiles into Camp Pendleton as a “show of force.”
...
Interstate 5, Southern California’s economic backbone, carries more than 80,000 daily travelers and moves $94 million in freight every day between San Diego and Orange Counties.
...
Governor Gavin Newsom’s office confirmed to MeidasTouch he is working with local partners to minimize what would be “a massive disruption, and reckless disregard for California’s infrastructure and communities.”
...
The White House has yet to confirm or deny the plans, and neither the Navy nor Marine Corps has provided risk assessments or community safety information.
Residents near Oceanside and San Clemente have expressed alarm at the lack of communication, especially given the proximity of dense suburban neighborhoods to Camp Pendleton’s firing ranges."

If TACO does it, obvious it's valid.
