The Vice Presidential debate was on Wednesday night and what a show it was !
It was nothing like the chaos that was the first Presidential debate .

If she could , surely she would do something about that , right ?
RIGHT ?
!
Vice President Mike Pence was — Vice President @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cool , collected , and carried himself in a way that looked like he was straight out of Central Casting to play the President in some 90s flick halfway between The West Wing and Airforce One .
Latest : EXCLUSIVE : Here 's What The Media ( D ) Does n't Want You To Know About Gun Sales In Swing States Pence was relentless in a very gentle and subtle way .
His attacks landed and the did so with force .
1 .
Joe Biden has been one of China ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I ’ d like to report a murder ?
Yeah , it was on the Vice Presidential debate stage .
The Vice President of the United States just verbally slaughtered his opponent.
” Pence dropped another attack on Joe with this one about the Biden campaign ’ s pandemic response which seems strangely familiar… Several times , VP Pence effectively used that same line , “ Senator Harris , you ’ re entitled to your own opinion , but you ’ re not entitled to your own facts.
” 3 .
Harris ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ if POTUS recommends it .
Joe has been clear that the reason that he entered the race because of the President ’ s deceptively edited statements in 2017 regarding the situation in Charlottesville .
Harris has to keep pushing this widely debunked hoax to keep propping up Joe , but Pence was having none of it .
Here ’ s another fact-check from a former leftie , Dave Rubin .
5 .
Biden won ’ t raise taxes but will repeal the Trump tax cuts .
That will have the same effect as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in America .
Even the anti-Trump New York Times has been pretty clear that a vast swath of Americans received tax cuts .
Biden and Harris have both been cagey about this because they don ’ t want to alienate voters who aren ’ t keen on having the Court stacked for political reasons , nor do the candidates want to anger the far-left contingent of their party who want to legislate from the Bench .
NARRATOR : She didn ’ t talk about packing the Court .
7 .
The unclear position @ @ @ @ @ @ @ New Deal .

He did something that conservatives are often not so great at doing — he told a story , and it was an incredible one .
It was the tragic death of Kayla Mueller and how the Obama-Biden administration ’ s dawdling likely cost her life .
Twitter was pretty divided with liberal Twitter siding with Kamala and bashing Pence as a “ mansplainer ” but conservative Twitter noted that was some weak sauce because Pence clearly mopped the floor with Harris .
Then… there was the fly .
The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ straight news ” networks was telling .
The dudes all claimed that perhaps she lost the debate because she ’ s a woman .
Well , they didn ’ t say it that way , but that ’ s how it comes across .
But hey , at least they had a strong , ( half- ) black woman on the debate stage , right ?
Apparently , the correct gender and race don ’ t necessarily guarantee a competent — or even passable — debate performance .
Maybe Joe should ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ crack above 3 % of the Democratic primary voters .
Just sayin ’ .

The Media (D) will tell you that Senator Kamala Harris won the Vice Presidential debate. Don’t believe them.

Vice President Mike Pence was — Vice President Mike Pence. He was calm, cool, collected, and carried himself in a way that looked like he was straight out of Central Casting to play the President in some 90s flick halfway between The West Wing and Airforce One.
Pence was relentless in a very gentle and subtle way. His attacks landed and the did so with force.
1. Joe Biden has been one of China’s cheerleaders.
VP PENCE: “Lost the trade war with China? Joe Biden never fought it” ?????? pic.twitter.com/5QgDQu6Kdh — Benny (@bennyjohnson) October 8, 2020
“Hello, 9-1-1? I’d like to report a murder? Yeah, it was on the Vice Presidential debate stage. The Vice President of the United States just verbally slaughtered his opponent.”
Pence dropped another attack on Joe with this one about the Biden campaign’s pandemic response which seems strangely familiar…
Vice President @Mike_Pence on the Biden-Harris coronavirus plan: "When I look at their plan that talks about advancing testing, creating new PPE, developing a vaccine, it looks a little bit like plagiarism, which is something Joe Biden knows a little bit about."#VPDebate pic.twitter.com/f9Iwmylgib — Team Trump (Text VOTE to 88022) (@TeamTrump) October 8, 2020
Several times, VP Pence effectively used that same line, “Senator Harris, you’re entitled to your own opinion, but you’re not entitled to your own facts.”
2. Biden’s Jekyll/Hyde stance on banning fracking.

Here’s why Pence was laughing:

3. Harris’s refusal to take a COVID vaccine if POTUS recommends it.
Kamala Harris on a potential Coronavirus Vaccine: “If Donald Trump tells us that we should take it, I'm not taking it." pic.twitter.com/Aygh9Qq1rQ — Benny (@bennyjohnson) October 8, 2020
Pence to Harris: "The fact that you continue to undermine public confidence in a vaccine, if a vaccine emerges during the Trump Administration, I think is unconscionable. Senator, I just ask you, stop playing politics with people’s lives."#VPDebate pic.twitter.com/DPHV4CY1kP — Daily Caller (@DailyCaller) October 8, 2020
4. Debunking the “Fine People” Hoax… AGAIN!
Joe has been clear that the reason that he entered the race because of the President’s deceptively edited statements in 2017 regarding the situation in Charlottesville. Harris has to keep pushing this widely debunked hoax to keep propping up Joe, but Pence was having none of it.
Vice President Mike Pence fact-checks Sen. Kamala Harris's claim that President Trump said there were "fine people on both sides" in the Charlottesville white supremacist riots in real-time. pic.twitter.com/o4FxuyQA99 — Townhall.com (@townhallcom) October 8, 2020
Here’s another fact-check from a former leftie, Dave Rubin.

5. Biden won’t raise taxes but will repeal the Trump tax cuts.
That will have the same effect as raising taxes on virtually all income brackets in America.
Even the anti-Trump New York Times has been pretty clear that a vast swath of Americans received tax cuts.
We just witnessed a murder on live TV pic.twitter.com/eSEOKsGjn7 — Kelb Hull (@CalebJHull) October 8, 2020
6. Packing the Supreme Court.
Biden and Harris have both been cagey about this because they don’t want to alienate voters who aren’t keen on having the Court stacked for political reasons, nor do the candidates want to anger the far-left contingent of their party who want to legislate from the Bench.
Sen. Kamala Harris: "Let's talk about packing the Court then." VP Mike Pence: "Please." Harris: "Yeah, I'm about to."#VPDebate pic.twitter.com/Jg6AcmtdFp — The Hill (@thehill) October 8, 2020
NARRATOR: She didn’t talk about packing the Court.
VP Pence calls out Kamala Harris on not answering whether Joe Biden would pack the Supreme Court pic.twitter.com/WQaKuVPRpI — Benny (@bennyjohnson) October 8, 2020
Kamala Harris went on a 2 min rant about Abraham Lincoln when Pence asked her a yes or no question about packing the court. They are avoiding answering in any way they can because they 100% will pack the courts. — Kelb Hull (@CalebJHull) October 8, 2020

"Once again, you gave a nonanswer…American people deserve a straight answer. If you haven't figured it out yet, the straight answer is yes, they're going to pack the Supreme Court." – @Mike_Pence hits @KamalaHarris on not directly answering court packing question. pic.twitter.com/FwTmxXBBwv — Washington Examiner (@dcexaminer) October 8, 2020
After two debates, when asked directly. This isn’t on Biden or Harris anymore. This is on journalists who accept this kind of treatment as an answer. https://t.co/1BlPccIsUr — Stephen L. Miller (@redsteeze) October 8, 2020
Pence absolutely dismantles Biden/Harris on non-answer on packing the court. Harris refuses to answer the question. Pence comes back on it. She giggles. Then diverts . . . again. Pence comes back on it again. Brutal. Just answer the question. #VPDebate — Kimberley Strassel (@KimStrassel) October 8, 2020
7. The unclear position of the Biden-Harris campaign on the Green New Deal.
Pence absolutely drops a MOAB on Kamala Harris's support for the Green New Deal and how it would decimate the economy. What's been a great debate for the Vice President got even better with that answer. #VPDebate pic.twitter.com/BF4s3BGpZV — Curtis Houck (@CurtisHouck) October 8, 2020
Some other great moments included Vice President Mike Pence stating unapologetically that he and the Trump administration is unapologetically pro-life.
VP PENCE: “I'm Pro Life. I will not apologize for it.” pic.twitter.com/iyQ9AwUeDj — Benny (@bennyjohnson) October 8, 2020
Pence spoke about school choice, which is a huge issue for inner-city, minority voters in particular.
Pence just said "we'll fight for school choice for all Americans" pic.twitter.com/BSRqktJhDZ — Corey A. DeAngelis (@DeAngelisCorey) October 8, 2020
Vice President Pence then went to Senator Harris’s record as District Attorney in San Francisco and noted how she didn’t care about the “disproportionate” incarceration of blacks back then.
On Wednesday night during the vice presidential debate between @MikePence and Sen. @KamalaHarris (D-CA), Harris would bring up her record and Pence hopped all over it. Not only would he bring up her sketchy past as a DA, but would highlight her imprisonment of African-Americans. pic.twitter.com/8dweZp5RMg — Andrew Powell (@iAndrewPowell) October 8, 2020
Sometimes conservatives get stuck in the rational part and don’t touch on emotion. Pence didn’t do that last night. He did something that conservatives are often not so great at doing — he told a story, and it was an incredible one. It was the tragic death of Kayla Mueller and how the Obama-Biden administration’s dawdling likely cost her life.
Vice President @Mike_Pence: Kayla Mueller's family says that if President @realDonaldTrump had been in office when Joe Biden was, they believe Kayla would still be alive today#VPDebate pic.twitter.com/WZ1w1Hzj6f — Team Trump (Text VOTE to 88022) (@TeamTrump) October 8, 2020
Twitter was pretty divided with liberal Twitter siding with Kamala and bashing Pence as a “mansplainer” but conservative Twitter noted that was some weak sauce because Pence clearly mopped the floor with Harris.
The moment that Kamala said "i'm speaking" was actually during Pence's time@AdamCrigler was timing it out and Pence had about 30 seconds left, asked Kamala to answer, and she instead went off on her own https://t.co/7KCoVlzj5p — Tim Pool (@Timcast) October 8, 2020
Kamala makes Hillary Clinton look likable by comparison, which is an almost Herculean feat — Buck Sexton (@BuckSexton) October 8, 2020
If they are talking about interrupting and not her answer on court packing or fracking, it means they think she lost. — Stephen L. Miller (@redsteeze) October 8, 2020
“He was mansplaining”
“VP debates don’t matter”
“Voters are turned off by on assertive woman”
“Let’s remember, there’s sexism in our politics” These are all Democrat media talking points that translate to “our side got crushed last night” — Buck Sexton (@BuckSexton) October 8, 2020
That wasn’t a win for Pence, it was an annihilation. A complete evisceration of Kamala Harris. There’s no spinning this, she got REKT. — Dan Bongino (@dbongino) October 8, 2020
Then… there was the fly.
Well substantive analysis of this debate just went out the window. pic.twitter.com/U9g7RsCTmR — Dave Rubin (@RubinReport) October 8, 2020
Pence and the fly combined had less time than Kamala. https://t.co/JxWPLDJBYL — Noam Blum (@neontaster) October 8, 2020
See, they care very much about issues. pic.twitter.com/J1xsb0qn9y — Stephen L. Miller (@redsteeze) October 8, 2020
The post-debate “analysis” on the allegedly “straight news” networks was telling. The dudes all claimed that perhaps she lost the debate because she’s a woman.
Well, they didn’t say it that way, but that’s how it comes across.
Jake Tapper is trying to explain away Kamala’s trainwreck performance by saying she is a woman pic.twitter.com/xPOe6FbnYm — Jack Posobiec (@JackPosobiec) October 8, 2020

The coverage from you guys is about mansplaining and a fly. https://t.co/dUo79NIlLW — Stephen L. Miller (@redsteeze) October 8, 2020
Kamala Harris hasn't been beaten this badly since Tulsi Gabbard cleaned her clock in the primary. — Mollie (@MZHemingway) October 8, 2020
Indeed.
It was a debate
It's now a funeral#VPDebate — Michael Malice (@michaelmalice) October 8, 2020
Ain’t that the truth.
But hey, at least they had a strong, (half-)black woman on the debate stage, right?
Apparently, the correct gender and race don’t necessarily guarantee a competent — or even passable — debate performance.

The Great Barrington Declaration
As infectious disease epidemiologists and public health scientists we have grave concerns about the damaging physical and mental health impacts of the prevailing COVID-19 policies, and recommend an approach we call Focused Protection.
Coming from both the left and right, and around the world, we have devoted our careers to protecting people. Current lockdown policies are producing devastating effects on short and long-term public health. The results (to name a few) include lower childhood vaccination rates, worsening cardiovascular disease outcomes, fewer cancer screenings and deteriorating mental health – leading to greater excess mortality in years to come, with the working class and younger members of society carrying the heaviest burden. Keeping students out of school is a grave injustice.
Keeping these measures in place until a vaccine is available will cause irreparable damage, with the underprivileged disproportionately harmed.
Fortunately, our understanding of the virus is growing. We know that vulnerability to death from COVID-19 is more than a thousand-fold higher in the old and infirm than the young. Indeed, for children, COVID-19 is less dangerous than many other harms, including influenza.
As immunity builds in the population, the risk of infection to all – including the vulnerable – falls. We know that all populations will eventually reach herd immunity – i.e. the point at which the rate of new infections is stable – and that this can be assisted by (but is not dependent upon) a vaccine. Our goal should therefore be to minimize mortality and social harm until we reach herd immunity.
The most compassionate approach that balances the risks and benefits of reaching herd immunity, is to allow those who are at minimal risk of death to live their lives normally to build up immunity to the virus through natural infection, while better protecting those who are at highest risk. We call this Focused Protection.
Adopting measures to protect the vulnerable should be the central aim of public health responses to COVID-19. By way of example, nursing homes should use staff with acquired immunity and perform frequent PCR testing of other staff and all visitors. Staff rotation should be minimized. Retired people living at home should have groceries and other essentials delivered to their home. When possible, they should meet family members outside rather than inside. A comprehensive and detailed list of measures, including approaches to multi-generational households, can be implemented, and is well within the scope and capability of public health professionals.
Those who are not vulnerable should immediately be allowed to resume life as normal. Simple hygiene measures, such as hand washing and staying home when sick should be practiced by everyone to reduce the herd immunity threshold. Schools and universities should be open for in-person teaching. Extracurricular activities, such as sports, should be resumed. Young low-risk adults should work normally, rather than from home. Restaurants and other businesses should open. Arts, music, sport and other cultural activities should resume. People who are more at risk may participate if they wish, while society as a whole enjoys the protection conferred upon the vulnerable by those who have built up herd immunity.
On October 4, 2020, this declaration was authored and signed in Great Barrington, United States, by:
Dr. Martin Kulldorff, professor of medicine at Harvard University, a biostatistician, and epidemiologist with expertise in detecting and monitoring of infectious disease outbreaks and vaccine safety evaluations.
Dr. Sunetra Gupta, professor at Oxford University, an epidemiologist with expertise in immunology, vaccine development, and mathematical modeling of infectious diseases.

2020 may go down as the year of anger directed like a laser at white men. The death of George Floyd, who was black, at the hands of then Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, who is white, sparked rage across the nation that continues to this day. Riots have plagued American cities for months. More than two dozen Americans, mostly minority men, have died in the violence. That rage has found targets in accusations that “systemic racism” makes America inherently and irredeemably racist and wrong.
White men founded America. Ergo, in this line of thinking, white men are terrible in every way and must be stopped — and more. Never mind the fact that our nation’s founders also sowed the seeds of emancipation and freedom into the Constitution, to end a diabolical institution that had plagued humanity for eons before America’s founding.
The mainstream media often adds to the division. CNN’s Don Lemon, never known for his self-awareness, once quipped, “We have to stop demonizing people and realize the biggest terror threat in this country is white men.”
Are white men not people too? Is this where we are as 2020 races toward its final, possibly climactic, quarter?
In December 2015, Salon magazine declared “White men must be stopped. The very future of mankind depends on it.”
Rage against any group can lead to dark places. It has in the past, worldwide: the killing fields of Cambodia, the Holodomor in Ukraine, the Holocaust in Europe, even the tribal wars of the Aztec empire in pre-Columbian Mesoamerica. Group hatred negates the value of the individual and, to borrow language from some on the left, can lead to a dehumanizing “othering” of people based solely on one or two characteristics they cannot even control — such as being born white and male.
Into one of the darkest and most divisive years in decades comes one of the cheeriest and most unifying books: White Guys Are Okay Too: Heroes Throughout History, by Tim Constantine. This book could not be more timely, and its contents could not be better suited to this difficult time in our national and cultural life.
Constantine brings his deep knowledge of culture and public life, and his Irish humor, to bear in White Guys, with chapters covering music, literature, movies, space, the culinary arts, and more. Constantine also brings an even-handedness to the issues that is missing in much of our media and discourse. For instance, the chapter on movies points out that some guys who happen to be white have contributed much to the celluloid arts — such as Sean Connery and John Wayne — and so have distinguished black filmmakers such as Spike Lee. White guys named Mozart and Sinatra are some of music’s most successful powerhouses.
In the field of literature, Constantine points out that Cai Lun may have contributed much to the written word by inventing paper — in second-century China. William Shakespeare, Charles Dickens, and Ernest Hemingway built on that to give the world the culture we know and love today.
White Guys Are Okay Too is a brisk, informative read that will leave readers chuckling instead of steaming. Its caricature cartoons, by the inimitable Mario Mariani, bring the many figures discussed throughout this humorous book to life.
Throughout White Guys Are Okay Too, Constantine springs surprise after surprise as he makes the case that people from all backgrounds have made significant contributions to the world — including the villain of our age, the white guy.

All the focus has been on Biden ’ s mask use , his ridiculous rhetoric , his personal attacks on Trump , and his various Bidenisms .
What we should REALLY Be looking at is his platform .
He can duck and weave in debates and townhalls all he wants , but his platform is there for all to read .

All the focus has been on Biden’s mask use, his ridiculous rhetoric, his personal attacks on Trump, and his various Bidenisms. What we should REALLY Be looking at is his platform.
He can duck and weave in debates and townhalls all he wants, but his platform is there for all to read.
Mark Levin calls it their Manifesto. We have referenced that previously.
He picked as his running mate the furthest left Senator of the bunch, whose record is literally further left than Bernie Sanders. But we’re all supposed to blindly accept that Joe is a ‘moderate’.
He was part of legislation pushing a gun ban before, and it should surprise nobody that the guy who pledged to put Beto ‘Hell Yes we’ll take your AR-15s” O’Rourke in charge of gun policy is pushing gun confiscation.
Of course, the kind of legislation he is pushing does nothing to target the places where gun crime is a real problem… places like the mean streets of Chicago for instance.
That doesn’t stop him from demagoguing the issue. From his website:
It’s within our grasp to end our gun violence epidemic and respect the Second Amendment, which is limited. As president, Biden will pursue constitutional, common-sense gun safety policies. Biden will: Hold gun manufacturers accountable. In 2005, then-Senator Biden voted against the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, but gun manufacturers successfully lobbied Congress to secure its passage. This law protects these manufacturers from being held civilly liable for their products – a protection granted to no other industry. Biden will prioritize repealing this protection. Get weapons of war off our streets. The bans on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines that Biden, along with Senator Feinstein, secured in 1994 reduced the lethality of mass shootings. But, in order to secure the passage of the bans, they had to agree to a 10-year sunset provision and when the time came, the Bush Administration failed to extend them. As president, Biden will: Ban the manufacture and sale of assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. Federal law prevents hunters from hunting migratory game birds with more than three shells in their shotgun. That means our federal law does more to protect ducks than children. It’s wrong. Joe Biden will enact legislation to once again ban assault weapons. This time, the bans will be designed based on lessons learned from the 1994 bans. For example, the ban on assault weapons will be designed to prevent manufacturers from circumventing the law by making minor changes that don’t limit the weapon’s lethality. While working to pass this legislation, Biden will also use his executive authority to ban the importation of assault weapons. Regulate possession of existing assault weapons under the National Firearms Act. Currently, the National Firearms Act requires individuals possessing machine-guns, silencers, and short-barreled rifles to undergo a background check and register those weapons with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). Due to these requirements, such weapons are rarely used in crimes. As president, Biden will pursue legislation to regulate possession of existing assault weapons under the National Firearms Act.

This will give individuals who now possess assault weapons or high-capacity magazines two options: sell the weapons to the government, or register them under the National Firearms Act.
Reduce stockpiling of weapons. In order to reduce the stockpiling of firearms, Biden supports legislation restricting the number of firearms an individual may purchase per month to one.
We notice it doesn’t say what will happen to someone who says that they do NOT want to participate in a government buyback.
Will the party that has spent this past year making such a big deal about dangerous armed standoffs between police and citizens create a dangerous situation where police will try to disarm citizens by force — when the Second Amendment specifically preserves their right to bear arms?
Which is it? Cops are neighborly and can be trusted, even when they are coming to take away your Second-Amendment rights? Or are they the personification of Evil as so many Biden/Harris voters seem to genuinely believe?

The founder of Chinese Christian human rights group China Aid, Pastor Bob Fu, is in hiding with his family this week following calls by a Chinese billionaire to kill him and a “protest” outside his Texas home. …Fu is the founder of China Aid, a nonprofit that offers support to persecuted Chinese Christians and raises awareness regarding specific acts by the Communist Party to erase Christianity from the country. Estimates suggest China is home to as many as 97 million Christians, more than the number of formal members of the Communist Party.

The pastor commonly attends events in favor of religious freedom in China and has not been the focus of any significant controversy in his career as an activist. According to the Midland Reporter-Telegram, Fu’s hometown newspaper, an independent translation of several Guo GTV videos show that he has openly called for his followers to kill Fu.

Ted Cruz threw his support behind Fu.
Shameful: CCP is targeting an American citizen @BobFu4China, in America, for harassment at his home. Bob is a fearless voice for human rights in China & Xi and the other despots fear him.

Not exactly something China’s Communist Party would approve of, eh?
Fu and his family were evacuated from their home Monday morning and moved to a safe location after a group of about 50 protesters arrived on a bus outside their residence. Midland Mayor Patrick Payton said during a press conference that afternoon that local and federal agencies were investigating alleged threats on Fu’s life. —MRT

Reagan understood – as Patriots do now — that Americans are free citizens, and not ‘the masses’.
Which goes to the point of the matter.
Patriots bled the ground red in 1776, in 1812, in the Civil War, through the 20th Century and beyond explicitly because we REJECTED the idea that a powerful cluster of men could wield overwhelming control over the a nation of citizens.
The only way a government can even attempt to make good on that socialist promise is to exert control. Force and coercion are the blunt instruments of the state.
The more power and authority we place in the hands of a few decision-makers in government buildings somewhere, the less control a free citizen has over his own options.
Unlike money, political power truly IS a zero-sum game. Whenever the government gets more, it is only because the individual now has less.
The Framers put as much of that power as possible in the hands of an individual.
Socialists shift that into the hands of a few cloistered decision-makers and power-brokers in back rooms.
Some people see no problem with that exchange.
Traditional red-blooded Americans are NOT an example of such people.

How biased is the news against team Trump? For one thing, this poll made it past the editors.
Mike Pence and Kamala Harris squared off at the debate on Wednesday night.
It wasn’t pretty.
And no, that’s not (just) a crack at the off-putting faces Kamala kept making.
It’s not unusual for someone to throw a couple of cheeky answers into a social media poll to boost engagement, like USA Today did by letting readers vote ‘the pesky fly’ as a possible winner for the debate.
But it IS unusual to completely leave out one of the candidates in question.
Notice anything a little odd here? Ted did.

clashdaily--2020-10-09--The Time Has Come, The Threat Is Here, Will You Stand Ready?

“ The time has come , the walrus said , to speak of many things , of shoes and ships and sealing wax , of cabbages and kings.
” That ’ s from “ The Walrus and the Carpenter ” by Lewis Carroll…and I think it ’ s time to talk the talk and walk the walk .
America is under siege and it ’ s time , maybe past time to take it back .
In my not-so-humble opinion , we , the patriots , are going to have to take a very hard line and it ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ though it will be necessary .
In the past few weeks video clips have shown cities in flames , open looting with little or no response from the police , and a resurgence of “ the knockout game ” .
I wouldn ’ t presume to know what is in the minds of those in charge of those cities , letting them be laid waste , but I can see that it ’ s not good .
Because I ’ m not running for any political office and nothing that is written by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , the plan can be laid out in very simple language…harsh , but simple .
BLM , Antifa , and any other group that shows definite anti-American , anarchist tendencies must be faced , with overwhelming force and yes , that means lethal force , if necessary .
When they are in your city , you should be , as the police say , “ armed and dangerous ” , but not to the good guys .
Sometimes just a show of force will do the job , like brandishing a weapon to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , just showing will not be enough , you will have to actually shoot someone .
Don ’ t think that it ’ s going to be like a video game , or a long-distance shot that snipers make .
No , it ’ s going to be up close and personal , but it will be a choice between their life and yours…victim or survivor .
If you believe that you can , or can not , do that , you are making the choice to be victim or survivor .
Should @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and you do not own a gun , buy one…or two .
Choose that weapon carefully because , in truth , your life may depend on it one day .
Get to know it well , and be able to use both hands to shoot it .
Find a gun range and visit it once a week and shoot at least two loads of ammunition through the gun .
If you will be carrying a concealed weapon , make sure that you are legally allowed to carry it and that you can reach @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the threat .
My personal carries are two .380 semi-automatic pistols that are in my front pockets .

The time has come…
“The time has come, the walrus said, to speak of many things, of shoes and ships and sealing wax, of cabbages and kings.” That’s from “The Walrus and the Carpenter” by Lewis Carroll…and I think it’s time to talk the talk and walk the walk.
America is under siege and it’s time, maybe past time to take it back. In my not-so-humble opinion, we, the patriots, are going to have to take a very hard line and it’s not going to look good, even though it will be necessary.
In the past few weeks video clips have shown cities in flames, open looting with little or no response from the police, and a resurgence of “the knockout game”. I wouldn’t presume to know what is in the minds of those in charge of those cities, letting them be laid waste, but I can see that it’s not good.
Because I’m not running for any political office and nothing that is written by me will have any effect at all, the plan can be laid out in very simple language…harsh, but simple. BLM, Antifa, and any other group that shows definite anti-American, anarchist tendencies must be faced, with overwhelming force and yes, that means lethal force, if necessary. When they are in your city, you should be, as the police say, “armed and dangerous”, but not to the good guys. Sometimes just a show of force will do the job, like brandishing a weapon to a potential mugger. In other instances, just showing will not be enough, you will have to actually shoot someone.
Don’t think that it’s going to be like a video game, or a long-distance shot that snipers make. No, it’s going to be up close and personal, but it will be a choice between their life and yours…victim or survivor. If you believe that you can, or cannot, do that, you are making the choice to be victim or survivor. Should you decide to be a survivor, and you do not own a gun, buy one…or two. Choose that weapon carefully because, in truth, your life may depend on it one day. Get to know it well, and be able to use both hands to shoot it. Find a gun range and visit it once a week and shoot at least two loads of ammunition through the gun.
If you will be carrying a concealed weapon, make sure that you are legally allowed to carry it and that you can reach it and bring it to bear on the threat. My personal carries are two .380 semi-automatic pistols that are in my front pockets. When I am out of the house or the car, at least one hand is in my pocket and my head is on a swivel. Some videos have shown people walking past older folks and then sucker-punching them with the intent of killing them with one punch, which is called “the knockout game”. Do not assume you’re in a safe area just because no one is close. An attacker can close the distance of 10 yards in about a second, so it’s important that you are aware of who and what is around you.
No one, truly, is going to avoid being subject to some form of this madness that has overtaken America. If the United States is to survive in its present form, clear heads, and patriots, are going to have to persevere. We are rapidly approaching an election in which the hyperbole has come true. We ARE going to vote for an America in which time-and-tried values will continue and we will still be a constitutional republic, or we will be divided into large(and small) areas in which socialist/communist ideas will be in practice. The latter is not the America in which I would prefer to live and hope that the patriots in my country will feel the same…and show up at the voting booths and affirm that commitment.
Once again, at the risk of sounding like a warmonger, a hawk, or whatever other label is being used, it appears to me that rioting and looting has not been for political reasons no matter what the signs and banners might say. It boggles the mind why the stealing of a large-screen TV might be, in any way, honoring the death of someone. It also calls into question why statues that have stood for a hundred years or more are suddenly offensive and must be taken down. We, as Americans, have collectively brought to life a nation that is like no other on earth and, for those same hundreds of years, was the model that other nations emulated…or tried to.
Previous administrations, and in particular the Hussein reign of timidity, stupidity, and criminality, saw nothing wrong with the statues, the businesses that were performing their daily routines and the marches that were peaceful. The marches turned into riots, the riots turned into looting, and the level of anti-authority rose to the point of open anarchy. President Lincoln, during the FIRST American Civil War said this: “A house divided against itself cannot stand. It will become all one thing, or all the other.”
Parting shot: If it comes down to a neighborhood-by-neighborhood shooting war, make sure that you are alive when the fracas is over. America MUST survive as the noble experiment it has always been. America first, always.


clashdaily--2020-10-09--THE MASK SLIPS: Pelosi’s 25th Amendment Announcement ISN’T About Trump–It’s About BIDEN

The moment when Speaker Pelosi ’ s physical mask slipped , so did her Machiavellian mask .
For the party that rails against President Trump “ breaking the norms ” and “ undermining core institutions ” — which he has not done , they sure aren ’ t keen on keeping them .
The Democratic Party has not just refused to accept the results of the 2016 election , but they ’ ve vocally advocated for the abolition of the Electoral College , actively sought a soft coup with the ongoing Russia-investigation with tacit approval from Obama and Biden , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , attempted to impeach the President for a phone call to the President of Ukraine .
More recently , Joe Biden has refused to openly state that he is planning on expanding the number of Justices on the Supreme Court if President Trump ’ s nominee , Judge Amy Coney Barrett , is confirmed .
Trending : Mob Forms Outside Christian Leader ’ s West Texas Home After Chinese Agent Calls For His Murder That doesn ’ t seem to respect the norms much , does it ?
Now , Speaker of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , is announcing the introduction of a bill that would allow a Congressional Committee to transfer power from the President .
Despite her constant drumbeat about how President Trump is “ mentally unfit ” or “ on strong medication ” and should not be in power , she was clear that this move was not about the sitting POTUS .
Clearly , she ’ s not being completely honest here .
This is , after all , Nancy Pelosi , and if there ’ s one thing that you can say about her @ @ @ @ @ @ @ her knees at this point — it ’ s that she ’ s a shrewd politician .
Creating a Congressional Committee to assess the mental and/or physical capacity of the President to fulfill his duties is beneficial to the Democrats in the near-term — the House is under Democrat control , after all .
If the legislation passes — and it ain ’ t got a snowball ’ s chance in hell of that happening — this would continue with the Democrat objective of undermining the institutions that they constantly accuse Republicans of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a Democrat-led House Committee to vote to oust a Republican President for the flimsiest of reasons .
If you don ’ t think that they ’ d do that , might I remind you that just this year , we went through an impeachment hearing because of a phone call between two world leaders that included a mention of the Biden family ’ s overt corruption that somehow got ignored by the Media ( D ) .
I ’ d also draw your attention to some Democrats ( and WaPo ’ s Jennifer @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 25th Amendment should be invoked because President Trump contracted a virus and/or that he ’ s on “ strong medication ” including dexamethasone , which is used for inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and allergic disorders , as well as skin conditions .
It ’ s also listed as one of the World Health Organization ’ s 40 essential medications .
So , yeah… they ’ d do it in a heartbeat .
But there ’ s another reason why it is beneficial for Pelosi ’ s House Democrats to push this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are right and Joe Biden wins the election this paves a quick and easy path for Acting President Kamala Harris .
Note that this is just my speculation , but I think I can make a strong case here .
First , let ’ s check out the relevant part of Section 4 of the Twenty-fifth Amendment : Why is this relevant ?
Because it takes the decision away from the Vice President and the Cabinet and confers it to a ( presumably ) permanent select Congressional Committee that will hang like a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ every president from now on .
Depending on the parsing of words , this could mean bypassing the Vice President as well as the Cabinet , or the Vice President in conjunction with Pelosi ’ s “ Commission on Presidential Capacity to Discharge the Powers and Duties of Office.
” When Joe Biden decided to run as President , he called himself a “ transition candidate ” to bring forward young , fresh Democrats to the foreground and slowly recede into the background .
Then he flipped that and said that heck , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to serve two terms !
This would mean running for re-election at the age of 82 .
At a time where Joe Biden is leading in the polls — even in swing states that Trump won in 2016 — and his mental fitness has been questioned to such a degree that a surprising number of Democrats believe that he is in some sort of cognitive decline , the 25th Amendment is incredibly relevant .
• UH-OH , JOE !
1-In-5 Democrats Think That Biden Is Suffering From Dementia–And Most ‘ Likely Voters ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Ad Shows Biden ’ s Mental Decline From His 2008 VP Run • Biden ’ s Response To Being Asked If He Has Taken A Cognitive Test Is PROOF That He Should Take One ( VIDEO ) Presuming that they don ’ t completely cut out the Vice President , this new bill would allow the Vice President along with a special “ Commission on Presidential Capacity to Discharge the Powers and Duties of Office ” to make the judgment call that the President wasn ’ t fit for office .
This would @ @ @ @ @ @ @ unfit for office without getting her hands too sullied or appearing opportunistic by casting aside the allegedly “ moderate ” Joe to implement the far-left ideology that she embraces .
She would be insulated from criticism since they ’ re already framing this “ Constitutional expert ” narrative because it ’ s being introduced by leftwing Congressman Jamie Raskin ( D-MD ) who was an absolute joke during the impeachment sham .
He actually admitted that they weren ’ t impeaching President Trump for actual wrongdoing but for “ constitutional offenses ” which @ @ @ @ @ @ @ were unconstitutional .
This seems consistent with their “ belive the experts ” mantra on COVID , climate change , abortion , etc .
— which basically means the experts that agree with the left .
Remember , just a few weeks ago , both Biden and Harris slipped up within 24-hours of each other and spoke of a potential “ Harris-Biden administration.
” • WHOOPS !
Kamala Harris Lets The Truth Slip Talking To Voters– ‘ A Harris Administration With Joe Biden ’ The far-left “ democratic socialists ” like Bernie , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Squad are convinced that they can shove Biden further left — but they wouldn ’ t have to do that with a President Kamala Harris .
This bill would insulate Harris from the criticism that she was a “ progressive political opportunist ” — which she is — who stayed on the ticket despite recognizing that Joe Biden wasn ’ t fit to serve as President but failed to warn the public before November 3 .
This is win/win/win for Democrats — it ’ s a cudgel to bludgeon the current and future @ @ @ @ @ @ @ them to slide in Kamala Harris as the first Black/South Asian/woman President , and pretend that they are securing the institutions that they are actually dismantling .
The thing is , this is an actual non-starter .
It ’ s a Hail Mary pass by a desperate Democratic Party that is determined to sow a feeling of chaos and tire out the electorate so that Sleepy Joe can slide into the Oval Office because… Orange Man Bad .
In order to have their plan to work , they ’ d have to have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Powers and Duties of Office passed into law with a majority of the House and the Senate and signed by the President .
That won ’ t happen under Trump — but it could happen under a President Biden .
And if the Democrats could get the bill passed , they ’ ll likely get away with it because our Media Class is broken and desperately wants Kamala Harris to be POTUS which is completely out-of-touch with the voting public .
But then , the media has always treated voters with disdain @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the only person who thinks that this is a plot to install a President Kamala Harris against the will of the people .

That doesn’t seem to respect the norms much, does it?
Now, Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), is announcing the introduction of a bill that would allow a Congressional Committee to transfer power from the President.
The 25th Amendment provides for procedures for transferring power to the vice president in case of the president’s death, incapacitation, removal or resignation. The amendment was ratified and approved in the wake of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. One of its sections provides the vice president and majority of either the Cabinet “or such other body as Congress may by law provide” with a mechanism to transfer power from the president.

Despite her constant drumbeat about how President Trump is “mentally unfit” or “on strong medication” and should not be in power, she was clear that this move was not about the sitting POTUS.

Clearly, she’s not being completely honest here. This is, after all, Nancy Pelosi, and if there’s one thing that you can say about her — other than she’s blinking her knees at this point — it’s that she’s a shrewd politician.
Creating a Congressional Committee to assess the mental and/or physical capacity of the President to fulfill his duties is beneficial to the Democrats in the near-term — the House is under Democrat control, after all.
If the legislation passes — and it ain’t got a snowball’s chance in hell of that happening — this would continue with the Democrat objective of undermining the institutions that they constantly accuse Republicans of attempting to undermine. This would allow a Democrat-led House Committee to vote to oust a Republican President for the flimsiest of reasons.
If you don’t think that they’d do that, might I remind you that just this year, we went through an impeachment hearing because of a phone call between two world leaders that included a mention of the Biden family’s overt corruption that somehow got ignored by the Media (D). I’d also draw your attention to some Democrats (and WaPo’s Jennifer Rubin) shrieking like banshees that the 25th Amendment should be invoked because President Trump contracted a virus and/or that he’s on “strong medication” including dexamethasone, which is used for inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and allergic disorders, as well as skin conditions. It’s also listed as one of the World Health Organization’s 40 essential medications.
So, yeah… they’d do it in a heartbeat.
But there’s another reason why it is beneficial for Pelosi’s House Democrats to push this bill through — in case the polls are right and Joe Biden wins the election this paves a quick and easy path for Acting President Kamala Harris.
Note that this is just my speculation, but I think I can make a strong case here.
First, let’s check out the relevant part of Section 4 of the Twenty-fifth Amendment:
Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President. (Emphasis Added)
Why is this relevant? Because it takes the decision away from the Vice President and the Cabinet and confers it to a (presumably) permanent select Congressional Committee that will hang like a Sword of Damocles over the head of every president from now on. Depending on the parsing of words, this could mean bypassing the Vice President as well as the Cabinet, or the Vice President in conjunction with Pelosi’s “Commission on Presidential Capacity to Discharge the Powers and Duties of Office.”
When Joe Biden decided to run as President, he called himself a “transition candidate” to bring forward young, fresh Democrats to the foreground and slowly recede into the background. Then he flipped that and said that heck, yeah, he’d be willing to serve two terms! This would mean running for re-election at the age of 82.

Presuming that they don’t completely cut out the Vice President, this new bill would allow the Vice President along with a special “Commission on Presidential Capacity to Discharge the Powers and Duties of Office” to make the judgment call that the President wasn’t fit for office.
This would allow Kamala Harris to deem Joe Biden unfit for office without getting her hands too sullied or appearing opportunistic by casting aside the allegedly “moderate” Joe to implement the far-left ideology that she embraces.
She would be insulated from criticism since they’re already framing this “Constitutional expert” narrative because it’s being introduced by leftwing Congressman Jamie Raskin (D-MD) who was an absolute joke during the impeachment sham.

This bill would insulate Harris from the criticism that she was a “progressive political opportunist” — which she is — who stayed on the ticket despite recognizing that Joe Biden wasn’t fit to serve as President but failed to warn the public before November 3.
This is win/win/win for Democrats — it’s a cudgel to bludgeon the current and future “problematic” Republican Presidents, allow them to slide in Kamala Harris as the first Black/South Asian/woman President, and pretend that they are securing the institutions that they are actually dismantling.
The thing is, this is an actual non-starter. It’s a Hail Mary pass by a desperate Democratic Party that is determined to sow a feeling of chaos and tire out the electorate so that Sleepy Joe can slide into the Oval Office because… Orange Man Bad.

Supply lines.
If supply lines get cut off, even the most terrifying military forces are in deep yogurt.
What if we got to the point where having a network of forward positions that needed defending was not the same critical issue it has been through history?
Game-changer, right?
Elon Musk is getting ready to completely redefine ‘rapid deployment’.
A cargo-delivery rocket that can deliver weapons via space to anywhere in the globe within an hour is being developed by Elon Musk’s SpaceX for the US military. The system would allow materials to be transported the 7,500-odd miles from Cape Canaveral, Florida, to the US-run Bagram airfield in Afghanistan in under an hour.

At present, each C-17 cargo aircraft cost the US military around $218 million — it is unclear at present how this, and operating costs, would compare with the rocket. —DailyMail
As with any new leap in technology, there are still practical details to work out — like landing a fully-loaded cargo, and figuring out whether controlled descent or parachutes will be the landing technique, not to mention the pricing details — but it doesn’t take a lot of imagination to see how this could open up a lot of options for a military that can otherwise be stretched rather thin.
Manufacturing has already benefitted from shifting to a Just-In-Time model to maximize cost efficiencies. How many idle pieces of military equipment that are kept in caches around the world, (‘just in case’) could be reduced to a skeleton crew with the expectation that same-day reinforcements could be shipped out to answer the call.
It’s a global rapid-deployment system that could rival even Hollywood’s imagination. Like the X-jet, except — since Elon Musk will be designing it — probably cooler.
People mocked Trump when he first mentioned Space Force. But now that it’s taking shape?
Space Force is looking lit AF.
