If only academia had a majority of professors like Hanson, our educational system would be the envy of the world, politicians would not be able to pull the wool over the eyes of the public to the extent they are able to today and our country would have a much brighter future.

The same stuff has been going on in Seattle for a few years now. I remember listening to some news radio pieces where they talked to someone from Bartell's, a locally founded and owned chain of pharmacies, and they talked about how they get hit so frequently in their downtown Seattle locations that they don't even bother calling the police anymore because even when they do show up, the shoplifter doesn't end up getting prosecuted.

A few weeks ago, it was announced that Bartell's sold all their stores to Rite Aid. I guess between the frequent shoplifting and the "summer of love" looting, they decided they were done.

In addition to the usual suspects, California Prop 47 supporters include Newt Gingrich and Sen. Rand Paul. Disgusting

Next up, laws will be passed to force stores to remain open. The politicians will spin the closing of stores to be favorable for them in a sound bite

It's odd, I tried looking around the net and especially youtube for people on the commie side writing or speaking about actions. You can find every sort of conservative speaking or writing on a blog but very little from the Progs.

The only one, besides articles on the RCP of America, is the socialist rifle assoc.

Are they just better at comsec/opsec than we are or are they communicating by different means. Like the jihadists using video games to communicate

Post-election 2020: Two studies say all hell to break loose

Two recent reports, when combined, paint a dark pathway for America in the coming weeks, a nation set on fire by multiple contentious court battles and widespread daily protests.

The 79 Days Report, by the Claremont Institute and the Texas Policy Foundation, illuminates possible election legal battles on the horizon and how they might play out in the courts. The bottom line? The litigation will be time-consuming and combative. There's no fast-forward button to speed up the process. It concludes:

On election night, the winner will not be known "due to millions of uncounted mail-in ballots in 6 battleground states."
Given there's no clear victor, "intense court fights" can be expected that could result "in a struggle right up to the Jan. 6 joint session of Congress. Uncertainty could extend even beyond this as decisions for both the presidency and vice presidency are battled out in Congress and before the U.S. Supreme Court."

The second report, "Hold the Line: A Guide to Defending Democracy," is a how-to manual for organizing massive protests, produced by a group of hard-left "researchers, organizers, and activists." The report encourages people to early assemble into clusters, to identify the "power holders" they want to "influence," and then make plans on how to achieve their goals.

The report calls for "large-scale protests," if the Trump administration and its allies prevent all votes from being counted, allows ballots to be tossed out, or fails to "remedy irregularities" in the voting.

The significance of the report lies in the level of preplanning and pre-targeting. In 2016, most on the left believed that Hillary Clinton would be victorious and were caught off guard when Donald Trump won instead. Yet within hours, activists were able to organize protests in city centers, brandishing signs declaring Trump "Not My President."

Every day thereafter, over the next several weeks, demonstrations were mounted in New York City; Boston; Los Angles; Atlanta; Chicago; Philadelphia; Portland; San Francisco; Seattle; and Washington, D.C. – all managed by Democrat mayors.

Now, four years later, you can be certain that the left won't be caught napping again on Election Night. They've had months to prepare and are ready to do battle. The many protests, riots, looting, and violent attacks the past six months are but a prelude to the coming main event.

The kickoff is likely to be the U.S. Senate vote to confirm Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the U.S. Supreme Court. Don't be surprised to see large-scale demonstrations against her confirmation, piggybacking on the recent Women's March, as a means to influence still undecided voters. The protests also have the advantage of pushing competing news stories to the sidelines, such as the Biden family corruption scandal.

Once the demonstrations begin, they will not end anytime soon; they will only become more inflamed, unless Joe Biden wins the election by a blowout, which few expect to happen.

Given that the 79 Days Report is accurate, that many ballots will not be tabulated until days after the voting concludes, protesters will flood into city streets demanding that all ballots be counted, while lawyers file suits to extend or block voting deadlines and accept or throw out ballots that appear from nowhere.

In 2000, the election was put on hold when George Bush won Florida by a narrow margin, triggering an automatic recount. Lawyers battled in courtrooms for six weeks until a ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court finally ended the squabbling.

Jumping ahead to 2020, instead of one contested state election, there could be six or more, vastly multiplying the number of court cases. The most intense demonstrations are likely to occur in four of the swing states headed by Democrat governors in an effort to sway legal rulings.

The Hold the Line report lays bare the leftists' ground game. Activists are locked and loaded. They will have pre-selected targets. Instead of massing in large groups, as in 2016, they plan to disperse to multiple sites — possibly homes of elected officials and judges, political pols, the police, anyone they deem to be a "power holder."

Add to this volatile mix the well organized and funded Antifa and BLM activists, who have been perfecting their violent tactics since the death of George Floyd. Black-masked operators can be expected to infiltrate the protests to turn nonviolent events into infernos.

Based on the two reports, the cumulative impact? In multiple cities, in multiple locations, there will be unprecedented demonstrations, many violent. The police will likely be overwhelmed, unable to respond to the dispersed protests — or prevented from responding — fueling fear and chaos.

Every court decision creates a new rallying cry for the left...and maybe the right, too. The longer it takes to resolve election disagreements, the more violence and chaos, metastasizing like a cancerous growth. The more things that get out of hand, the more out of hand things might get.

The Hold the Line report posits an election outcome that's fraudulent, where all the votes are not counted and irregularities remedied. Given this scenario, it calls for "another form of power to correct the balance," an all-out revolution, in which large numbers of people participate in strikes, boycotts, protests, and other nonviolent actions, "until a democratic and accountable government is restored."

In other words, they want to shut down society until President Trump is forced from office, not unlike the 28 Days of Resistance in Tunisia that toppled President El Abidine Ben Ali and the 25 January Revolution in Egypt that ousted President Hosni Mubarak.

Such an event seems highly implausible. But if Trump is re-elected, no matter what happens, the left will claim the election was stolen, not unlike 2016, opening the curtain to four more years of protests and attacks on his presidency.

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

Will the MSM and big tech go ALL in on election night? Imagine FB and TWatter refusing to cover the results and shutting off the President's feed. Maybe going as far as inserting "news" stories calling the President's win into doubt.

https://www.citizenfreepress.c...-election-emergency/

The question I have is they (MSM/big tech) have to know if they make their big play it will be all or nothing. When Trump wins...inspite of their obvious meddling there will be hell to pay. So they HAVE to win or hold back.

The interesting thing is a majority of the states have GOP governors so I would expect these states to report at least locally.

spicy times are ahead I fear

Two leftist organizations teamed up to block rush hour traffic on a major freeway moving through the nation’s capital for a “Black education” demonstration. The event appeared to focus on short chants and obstructing Washington, D.C. area workers from getting to their jobs.

OccupyDC and FreedomFightersDC teamed up to shut down Interstate 395 during rush hour traffic for what they called a “Black education” event. Video tweeted by an independent journalist shows the group blocking the freeway while chanting, “Who’s streets? Our streets” and “Who’s highway? Our highway.”
