An alleged plot against the government has been uncovered, and at least 13 arrests have been made in the process. The plot being hatched is said to have targeted Gretchen Whitmer.
But the way it’s being presented in the Left and the media’s narrative doesn’t quite seem to line up with what we’re seeing on social media.
Decide for yourself.
Here’s how Governor Whitmer and the media have been running with this story:
“There is ongoing rhetoric. Even the president last night in his tweet storm won’t stop attacking me, and I think that it’s creating a very dangerous situation — not just for me but for people in leadership roles who are trying to save lives all across this country,” Whitmer told ABC News chief anchor George Stephanopoulos during an interview Friday on “Good Morning America.” “Bigotry and prejudice and violence is not acceptable,” she added. The U.S. Department of Justice announced charges on Thursday against six men in Michigan allegedly involved in a monthslong plot to kidnap the Democratic governor and violently overthrow the state’s government before the November presidential election. During a press conference that afternoon, a visibly angry Whitmer lashed out at President Donald Trump for “stoking” hate and called the suspects “sick and depraved men.” “Since he first called me ‘that woman from Michigan,’ we saw an increase in hateful language,” Whitmer said of Trump during Friday’s interview on “GMA.” MORE: Nation’s deadliest domestic terrorist inspiring new generation of hate-filled ‘monsters,’ FBI records show

Certainly it’s been worse for me than most, but it is not unique to me, it is not even unique to Democrats. This White House has a duty to call it out and they won’t do it; in fact, they encourage it.” — ABC
To hear her tell it, a bunch of rowdy right-wingers are taking their marching orders from the President himself.
Right-wing militia is a favorite phrase of the Left, especially when they want use it as a tool to disparage and undermine lawful gun ownership.
But is that an accurate description of this group?
This writer had doubts right off the top. Sure, the action was couched in come pro-Constitution and anti-tyranny language, but my BS meter was tripped as soon as they said police had been specifically targeted. The proposed use of explosives didn’t seem right, either. Explosions are imprecise and can take out unintended targets. Overwhelming firepower seemed more like of a Right-of-Center tactic that would have seemed plausible.
As it happens, there is evidence that undermines that Right-wing narrative. That evidence comes from the mouth of one of the men arrested.
“Trump is not your friend, dude,” Caserta says, with an anarchist flag hanging behind him. “It amazes me that people actually, like, believe that when he’s shown over and over and over again that he’s a tyrant. Every single person that works for government is your enemy, dude.” –NYPost
There’s video.
More on the ideology of one of the men who was busted by the FBI for a plot to kidnap Governor Gretchen Whitmer. In this video he poses in front of an anarchist flag to tell people that the Declaration of Independence is an anarchist document. Brandon Caserta is an anarchist. pic.twitter.com/7PgQkYrNIQ — Robby Starbuck (@robbystarbuck) October 8, 2020
Watch this video of Brandon Caserta. He was arrested for plotting to kidnap Gov. Gretchen Whitmer. In this video he poses in front of an anarchist flag and calls police "a violent gang" and "enemies". He’s an anarchist who hates government and police. pic.twitter.com/gYxaDQXcIj — Robby Starbuck (@robbystarbuck) October 8, 2020
I was able to get video of one more of the men arrested in the plot to kidnap Gov. Gretchen Whitmer. This guy, Pete Musico, says "driving is a right" for people in the intercity and generally attacks boomers for not caring about young people. These guys have a STRANGE ideology. pic.twitter.com/2ZJwprRYRD — Robby Starbuck (@robbystarbuck) October 8, 2020
There is more in this thread if you want to follow through on it.
Right-wing militia?
From here in the cheap seats, that really seems like a stretch. Especially from a crowd that is actively bailing Antifa and BLM rioters out of jail after repeated charges of violent crimes.

So an organization on the hard-left going by the Orwellian name ‘Working Families Party’ has introduced a very Soviet-sounding document (Manifesto?) entitled The People’s Charter . (What, was the name Mao’s Red Book already taken?)
Here’s the short version of their document:
The People’s Charter represents an aspirational but concrete agenda around which progressives can rally: for COVID relief, jobs and healthcare for all, police reform, and bold action on climate. The five sections are as follows: Care for the Wronged: Repair historic harms and end systemic racism. Emergency care: Help everyone get and stay well, and support workers, families, and small businesses as long as it takes. A Good Job for Everyone Who Needs One: Working people can’t wait years for jobs to come back, we need millions of jobs now. Care for Each Other: Address the deficiencies in how our government cares for us that the pandemic has revealed. Care for the Future: Act now to make us all more resilient to challenges we know we have to confront. Why are we kicking this off now, with just 26 days until Election Day?

“We’re going to come together to defeat Trump,” Sanders told “The Daily Show” host Trevor Noah on Friday. “And the day after Biden is elected, we’re going to have a serious debate about the future of this country, but it will be done within the framework of a democratic society.” –Hill
The day after Biden were to be elected (heaven forbid!) that’s when the real battle for control of the direction of the party would begin.

Under pressure to solve the alleged problem of ‘systematic racism’ that is said to be afflicting the entire nation and every institution therein, they made a point of retracing the very same paths that created one of the more dramatic financial crises in the last 100 years.
JPMorgan Chase said Thursday it will extend billions in loans to Black and Latino homebuyers and small business owners in an expanded effort toward fixing what the bank calls “systemic racism” in the country’s economic system.

It is entirely possible all the parties involved mean well.
But they are addressing the wrong problem, and offering a solution that’s already failed once. Spectacularly.
Sowell explains part of it here: Thomas Sowell Talks About Black Lives Matter And How They Are WRONG (VIDEO)
President Clinton’s tenure was characterized by economic prosperity and financial deregulation, which in many ways set the stage for the excesses of recent years. Among his biggest strokes of free-wheeling capitalism was the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, which repealed the Glass-Steagall Act, a cornerstone of Depression-era regulation. He also signed the Commodity Futures Modernization Act, which exempted credit-default swaps from regulation. In 1995 Clinton loosened housing rules by rewriting the Community Reinvestment Act, which put added pressure on banks to lend in low-income neighborhoods. It is the subject of heated political and scholarly debate whether any of these moves are to blame for our troubles, but they certainly played a role in creating a permissive lending environment. — Time
It’s not enough to make borrowing easier. Paying it back needs to be manageable, too.
Trump’s policies on taxes, regulations and jobs have been putting Americans — and minorities in particular — back to work in spectacular fashion, with substantial a real-world rise in wages.
THAT is how you help people become homeowners, that and building a solid base of financial literacy. Helping people acquire debt they cannot hope to repay is no help at all.
Sowell himself pointed out that statistically, interest rates are a direct function of risk factors. If you really want to make the world a better place, address those risk factors. Help with employment (or self-employment), and make sure every American has a solid grounding in financial literacy.
But no. They’d much rather push a woke handout (do you prefer the word ‘bribe’) to a Marxist activist group that could make life for their bank a living hell if they didn’t.

Someone let Keith out of whatever box he had crawled under. And now that he’s found his way back in front of a camera, he has a crapton of stupid to spew.
Trump broke Keith years ago, and Keith tapped out, giving up on politics completely… for a time. Now, with an election around the corner. He’s back and as crazed as ever.
Here it comes. First the transcript:
‘Trump can be and must be expunged. The hate he has triggered, the Pandora’s Box he has opened, they will not be so easily destroyed. So, let us brace ourselves. The task is twofold. The terrorist Trump must be defeated, must be destroyed, must be devoured at the ballot box and then he and his enablers and his supporters and his collaborators and the Mike Lees and the William Barrs and the Sean Hannities, and the Mike Pences, and the Rudy Guliani’s and the Kyle Rittenhouses and the Amy Coney Barrets must be prosecuted and convicted and removed from our society while we try to rebuild it and to rebuild the world Trump has nearly destroyed by turning it over to a virus. Remember it. Even as we dream of a return to reality and safety and a country for which our forefathers died. That the fight is not just to win an election, but to win it by enough to chase at least for a moment Trump and the [‘maggots’ or ‘MAGAts’] off the stage, and then try to clean up what they left. Remember it. Even though TO remember means remembering the fight does not end November 3rd, but in many ways will only begin then.
And now the video:

Keith Olberman has decided to spend his last 4 years by choosing NOT to grow as a person in any discernable way, but to double down on the same screwball rhetoric that got him thrown off the air the first time.
Maybe he thinks there’s a market for him in this perpetual rage news cycle. It’s hard to imagine, but in his defence, Chris Hayes and Brian Stelter are still somehow cashing a check, so intellectual integrity and clear logical thinking are not prerequisites.
That one blockquote is so full of worthless crap it’s hard to choose what to counter.
Let’s keep it simple.
He’s looking for hate on the wrong side of the aisle. Maybe he should look in a mirror. He’s been blowing this super-heated rhetoric since pretty much the day he won the election. And none of his predictions have come true.
He’s ALSO unmasking his inner tyrant. All of his favorite political enemies must be punished for not agreeing with them. What’s the charge? It doesn’t matter. He’ll make one up later. But eveyone on his list ought to be ‘prosecuted, convicted and ‘removed from society’. What sort of a fate would he consign us to? He’d have to invent something new, gas ovens are sooooo 1940s.
And Trump is a ‘terrorist’?
Do you have a citation for that? Or was a bong rip involved?
You seriously think that a judge who was universally agreed to be the very best of all the Supreme Court clerks in her year needs to be prosecuted for a crime?
Aside for the crime of being marked as your political enemy — which for most autocrats and tyrants is more than enough — what do you suppose she should be charged (and convicted!) for?
Maybe the reason he, and so many like him, are so afraid that Trump might be a tyrant only see that in him because that particular impulse and temptation lurks in them.
They know what THEY would do with the power that he has, and they are deathly afraid that he is the kind of man that they are.

Giant Trump Sign On PRIVATE Property Visible From The Freeway Was Quickly Removed By Cali Transit Workers

clashdaily--2020-10-11--Hey Moderates: Biden Thinks You Don’t Deserve An Answer To This Question… Do You Agree?

Under normal circumstances , campaigning was intended to be an opportunity for voters to put candidates under the microscope and decide which one suits them best .
But Biden has a different theory about campaigning .
Biden thinks he gets to decide which issues deserve to be in the headlines , and which ones do not .
He thinks he gets to dictate what the public gets to care about .
For anyone paying attention , you will notice that even in his orchestrated ‘ interviews ’ with the ‘ Mainstream Media ’ have more to do with tearing down @ @ @ @ @ @ @ any questions about contradictions in the Biden / Harris platform .
It ’ s hard to know where he stands on issues since his feet are never really held to the fire .
Trending : Mob Forms Outside Christian Leader ’ s West Texas Home After Chinese Agent Calls For His Murder The American public wants to know if Biden plans to fundamentally transform ( so to speak ) the relationship between the political parties and the ( until now ) independent judicial branch .
Even their beloved FDR was slapped down by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he load up the court with extra judges so that policies he approved of would be rubber-stamped .
So , now that Kamala Harris and other Democrats have pushed the idea of adding extra judges to the court so that they could stuff it with progressive judges to push through their agenda , people want to know if Democrats are planning to retaliate for the loss of Leftist control of the courts by expanding the courts by enough Democrat judges to reclaim a majority .
Remember how Biden said we need a President @ @ @ @ @ @ @ how he would be the President of all Americans ?
How well does that rhetoric fit with this answer ?
Did you catch that ?
He was in the process of saying they don ’ t deserve an answer .
His reason ?
Before now it was because he didn ’ t want HIS answer to make headlines , and that ’ s still part of the reason .
But he was saying that Republicans don ’ t deserve an answer .
Huh ?
Does that include the NeverTrumpers at the Lincon project @ @ @ @ @ @ @ certain objections to POTUS45 ?
Conversations here at the ClashDaily writer ’ s office have been kicking this question around for awhile , and we have decided that there is a reason that Biden can Duck and Weave every time this is asked .
The question doesn ’ t box him in neatly enough into a binary answer .
We think this video might help push him into a binary answer : We would rephrase it something like this : “ Mr .
Biden , in 1983 , you called FDR ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a terrible , terrible mistake to make that called into question for an entire decade the independence of the most significant body in this country .
Now , voices on the Left have been calling for Democrats to do exactly what FDR was rebuked for doing in 1937 .
In contrast to those voices , the late Justice Ginsburg , was interviewed about her thoughts about packing the court with more judges , and gave this answer only last year : In light of these facts , Mr. Biden , can you reassure @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Ginsburg , that you affirm and remain committed to continuing our long-standing tradition of a 9-member politically independent Supreme Court ?

Now, voices on the Left have been calling for Democrats to do exactly what FDR was rebuked for doing in 1937.
In contrast to those voices, the late Justice Ginsburg, was interviewed about her thoughts about packing the court with more judges, and gave this answer only last year:
“Nine seems to be a good number. It’s been that way for a long time,” she said, adding, “I think it was a bad idea when President Franklin Roosevelt tried to pack the court.” –NPR
In light of these facts, Mr. Biden, can you reassure voters that you agree with the Justice Ginsburg, that you affirm and remain committed to continuing our long-standing tradition of a 9-member politically independent Supreme Court?

Sunday , October 11 , 2020 marks 209 days since the “ 15 days to slow the spread ” of the virus from Wuhan , China that became a global pandemic because of the bungled response and outright lies by the Chinese Communist Party .
Dr. David Nabarro @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Special Envoy on COVID-19 , appeared in an interview with Andrew Neil of The Spectator and said that the pandemic and the response to it has been absolutely devastating on extremely vulnerable people — the global poor .

That seemed to me to be a reasonable point .
NABARRO : Really important @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to say it again : we in the World Health Organization do not advocate lockdowns as the primary means of control of this virus .
The only time we believe a lockdown is justified is to buy you time to reorganize , regroup , rebalance your resources ; protect your health workers who are exhausted .

Normally setting the altar of a church ablaze is a bad thing , but in this case , it ’ s warranted .

The incident unfurled when they were caught by a passerby , who noticed the church ’ s lights were on after hours .
The witness looked in the window and saw the scantily clad women in corsets and the priest partially clothed .
Stage lighting , sex toys , and a cellphone on a tripod were also said to be on the stage .
The authorities were called and all three people involved were charged with obscenity for engaging in sex in a place open to public view .
The altar was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ altar is where communion — the wafers and wine representing the body and blood of Christ — is consecrated before it is given to parishioners .

There is something deeply disturbing about a priest engaging in sex acts on the altar of the church with two dominatrices .
The Archbishop clearly made the right call in this situation .

Normally setting the altar of a church ablaze is a bad thing, but in this case, it’s warranted.
The Archdiocese of New Orleans has burned the altar of Saints Peter and Paul Roman Catholic Church in Pearl River, Louisiana after it was discovered that the priest, Rev. Travis Clark, performed sexual acts with two dominatrices in the church sanctuary, including on the altar.
Clark, 37, was arrested after hosting an alleged threesome with Mindy Dixon and Melissa Cheng, both professional dominatrices, at Saints Peter and Paul Roman Catholic Church on September 30. The incident unfurled when they were caught by a passerby, who noticed the church’s lights were on after hours. The witness looked in the window and saw the scantily clad women in corsets and the priest partially clothed. Stage lighting, sex toys, and a cellphone on a tripod were also said to be on the stage. The authorities were called and all three people involved were charged with obscenity for engaging in sex in a place open to public view. The altar was reportedly visible through the window.
The altar is where communion — the wafers and wine representing the body and blood of Christ — is consecrated before it is given to parishioners.
According to Church law, when sacred places are violated they must be “repaired by penitential rite” before they can be used again.
The two women, Mindy Dixon and Melissa Cheng, were both advertising dominatrix services online and had apparently traveled to Lousiana to meet with Clark.
Dixon, 41, who goes by the name Lady Vi, lives with her husband in Seattle and describes herself as “the embodiment of sin exquisitely crafted into flesh and bone.” She emphasizes that her services don’t include engaging in sex with her clients, but says, “I am highly skilled at weaponizing lust and using it to bring men and women to their knees.”
Cheng, 23, has offered her dominatrix services in Detroit, Boston, Philadelphia, Washington D.C., and Los Angeles.
Cheng writes: ‘I have studied the art of Domination for years and it is My greatest passion. ‘I love being able to break a person down, take them apart, then put them back together… My way. ‘Being able to bend men to My will and bring the powerful to their knees is a talent that comes naturally for Me.’ Cheng charges $350 an hour, she says, and provides a list of the fetishes she will accommodate.
The website Nola.com reported that Dixon said on social media that she was traveling to the New Orleans area to ‘defile a house of God’ with another dominatrix. Cheng, arrested alongside her, describes herself as a ‘Chinese/German 5’11 Goddess’ based near Atlanta, but moving back to LA in 2020.
Archbishop Gregory Aymond released a statement on this situation as well as on another newly revealed sex abuse scandal within the diocese. Rev. Pat Wattigny confessed to sexually abusing a minor which occurred in December 2013.
“It is a very tough time to be a Catholic in the Archdiocese of New Orleans to say the least,” said Archbishop Aymond.
He also said, “Let me be clear, both were removed from ministry immediately and will never serve again in Catholic ministry.”
Archbishop Gregory Aymond consecrated the new altar in the church on Saturday evening.
Clark was released from jail on a $25,000 bond. Cheng and Dixon posted bonds of $7,500. All three could face six months to three years in prison if convicted of obscenity. Source: Daily Mail

Remember that old line, “When It Absolutely, Positively Has To Be Destroyed Overnight”? We’re going to have a one-hour while-U-wait version.
Every military in history has had one pressing concern that had absolutely nothing to do with the fighters or their training.
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. In contrast, a Boeing C-17 Globemaster III — a military transport aircraft the US owns a 233-strong fleet of, that can fly at maximum of 590mph — would take 15 hours. The rocket will be able to carry an 80 ton payload, similar to that of a single C-17 — and proof-of-principle tests are expected to begin next year. …SpaceX has previously demonstrated the ability to vertically land and reuse the booster rockets for its Falcon 9 system onto drone ships out at sea.

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.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has attempted to mark a positive resemblance between Democratic presidential candidate , former Vice President Joe Biden , and Soviet communists in a wide-ranging interview with the Rossiya TV channel , released Wednesday as the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ …Putin linked Biden to communist ideology during the interview .
While Putin—a former party member , KGB colonel and intelligence operative—made the comparison in positive terms , his comment lines up with GOP talking points about the Biden-Kamala Harris ticket .

That said, it’s important to remember that this statement is by Vladimir Putin who was a former KBG agent and has changed the Russian constitution to allow him to run for office in 2024 and 2030 which would mean he could stay in power until 2036.
Simply put: it’s probably best not to take Putin at face-value.
In a recent interview, Putin said that although he would work with either administration, he indicated that the Democratic Party’s policies were closer to the “social democratic ideas” that the Communist Party grew out of.

providing military aid rather than “pillows and sheets” to assist Ukraine in fighting Russian aggression
the U.S. military killed more than 200 Russian soldiers in Syria
in the first year of his administration, President Trump imposed sanctions on Russian companies and entities blocking $3 billion in deals that would go to Russia
harsh economic restrictions on Russian Oligarchs to the tune of more than $25 billion which has put pressure on Putin
used the Magnitsky Act and the Global Magnitsky Act to impose harsh fines on more than 50 individuals accused of human rights abuses
strengthened NATO by pressuring allies to spend more on defense
after the nerve-agent attack on British soil in an apparent Kremlin-ordered attack, Trump authorized the expulsion of more than 60 diplomats from U.S. soil

In Des Moines, Iowa, a political rally had the Mayor in fits. Meanwhile, in LA, another cause took crowds to the streets with nary a word.
For months, two topics have dominated headlines and dramatically reshaped how we live our lives. One was the series of riots that (at least superficially) coincided with the death of George Floyd but has taken on a life of its own thereafter.
The other big story is the virus itself, leading to a great deal of panic and death in the beginning that never quite subsided despite the great advances we have made in our understanding of both risk factors and treatment options.
Fear is still the order of the day. Any chance the media has of shaming a group of Trump supporters for being in the same place at the same time you will hear the now-familiar refrains about ‘super spreader’ and killing grandma and all that other nonsense.
Case in point:
The mayor of Des Moines, Iowa, said he is worried that President Trump’s campaign rally in Des Moines this week could be responsible for spreading COVID-19 in the city. Asked by the Des Moines Register whether he is concerned that the event could accelerate the spread of COVID-19 in Des Moines, Mayor Frank Cownie (D) said he “absolutely” was. “Absolutely I’m worried about the spread. We don’t want a super-spread event here in Des Moines,” Cownie told the newspaper. “We urge everyone who would attend this event to wear a mask and social distance as best they can, and to stay safe and healthy.” “We all have to do everything we can do to keep our numbers down,” he continued. “It’s proven, it’s scientific facts.” –TheHill
The short answer: if it’s Trump, it’s bad.
Let’s contrast that to the scene in LA, where a championship series came to an end.
The CHP confirms that they are assisting the LAPD in shutting down freeway ramp exits to downtown due to crowds that have formed after the Lakers' championship win.

This is the city that won’t allow my children to go to school—even distanced, with masks, desks cubicled with plexiglas. https://t.co/AIuVWFz9jB — Abigail Shrier (@AbigailShrier) October 12, 2020
So, is this a ‘super-spreader’ event? Will Gavin Newsom have some angry words for Californians?
Or will such words and tactics be reserved for people the press REALLY hates — like the current President and his administration?
