clashdaily--2020-11-13--Democracy: What’s REALLY Driving The Forces At Work Here?

Most of us are disappointed in this election .
Some of that disappointment is the inevitable difference between political promises and the unfolding reality after the campaign .
Part of our disappointment is because we misunderstand what democracy offers us .
We never elect our ideal man .
Democracy doesn ’ t give us a candidate with the perfect attributes we want .
Far from it .
Instead , democracy allows us to choose between candidates with the attributes they have .
Democracy is a chance to reject the most flawed candidate .
That is important .
I ask you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you to vote for a particular person or party .
We complain that the candidates are for sale , but too often , so are we .
Frequently , we take the easy course of action .
We let each candidate and the media define himself and his opponent .
We reject the hard work of studying the candidate until we see how his actions revealed his character .
Did we vote for the man or the media myth ?
To whom does the politician owe his allegiance , to the voters or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ elected politician morally bound to fulfill the promises he made to us , or does the candidate owe the special interests and the media elites who sold the candidate to the voters ?
The answer is up to us .
Turning away from the faults of our system of government , let ’ s turn to the human heart .
Why did you as an individual vote for a particular candidate ?
Was it after careful study , deliberation , and consultation with people you respect ?
Did you vote for the candidate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ work hard and prosper ?
Perhaps you voted for the candidate your friends liked .
Perhaps you did the calculus and voted for the candidate who promised you something for nothing .
When the government becomes Santa Claus , then whose livelihood was robbed to make the fat man so rich ?
Whose blood is on the fat man ’ s suit ?
You have those answers on the tip of your tongue .
Your choices guide how you feel today as the election hangs on a thread .
Did you chose your @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sales pitch ?
Many of our elites wanted to elect someone like themselves .
They want a friendly candidate who wears a knowing smile as he lies to us .
The elites think a dishonest politician is easily manipulated and most likely to give them what they want .
History is on their side .
The bigger our government gets , the more money and power is at stake .
Members of the elite ruling class like Michael Bloomberg , George Soros , and Xi Jinping spent tens of millions of dollars on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on their investment .
That means our vote counts less and less .
That means our freedom and our taxes are sold to the highest bidder .
It is a bitter truth , that democracy gives the voters what they asked for.. good and hard .
I hope we can bear it .

Most of us are disappointed in this election. Some of that disappointment is the inevitable difference between political promises and the unfolding reality after the campaign. Part of our disappointment is because we misunderstand what democracy offers us.
We never elect our ideal man. Democracy doesn’t give us a candidate with the perfect attributes we want. Far from it. Instead, democracy allows us to choose between candidates with the attributes they have. Democracy is a chance to reject the most flawed candidate. That is important.
I ask you to look back and see what caused you to vote for a particular person or party. We complain that the candidates are for sale, but too often, so are we. Frequently, we take the easy course of action. We let each candidate and the media define himself and his opponent. We reject the hard work of studying the candidate until we see how his actions revealed his character.
Did we vote for the man or the media myth? To whom does the politician owe his allegiance, to the voters or to his campaign donors? Is the elected politician morally bound to fulfill the promises he made to us, or does the candidate owe the special interests and the media elites who sold the candidate to the voters? The answer is up to us.
Ho ho?
Turning away from the faults of our system of government, let’s turn to the human heart. Why did you as an individual vote for a particular candidate? Was it after careful study, deliberation, and consultation with people you respect? Did you vote for the candidate who would let you and your neighbors work hard and prosper? Perhaps you voted for the candidate your friends liked. Perhaps you did the calculus and voted for the candidate who promised you something for nothing. When the government becomes Santa Claus, then whose livelihood was robbed to make the fat man so rich? Whose blood is on the fat man’s suit?
You have those answers on the tip of your tongue. Your choices guide how you feel today as the election hangs on a thread.
Did you chose your candidate
or did you fall for the sales pitch?
Many of our elites wanted to elect someone like themselves. They want a friendly candidate who wears a knowing smile as he lies to us. The elites think a dishonest politician is easily manipulated and most likely to give them what they want. History is on their side.
The bigger our government gets, the more money and power is at stake. Members of the elite ruling class like Michael Bloomberg, George Soros, and Xi Jinping spent tens of millions of dollars on a candidate because they expect a return on their investment. That means our vote counts less and less. That means our freedom and our taxes are sold to the highest bidder.
It is a bitter truth, that democracy gives the voters what they asked for.. good and hard. I hope we can bear it.

Rush Limbaugh talks about teachable moments in our lives .
Over the years , I ’ ve heard him speak about some significant teachable moments .
I would like to use the concept from Rush of teachable moments and offer my own teachable moment concerning the outcome of elections .
For almost 20 years , I was a merit badge counselor for the Boy Scouts of America , helping scouts earn merit badges towards Eagle Scout .
One of the required badges is citizenship in the nation .
The young men were required to read the various documents of our @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Independence , the Constitution , and the Bill of Rights .
In their interview , they had to demonstrate to me their counselor that they read these critical documents and had some rudimentary understanding of our nation ’ s laws .

I would encourage the Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ changes in voting rules ordered by the board of elections that are not confirmed by the state legislatures are unconstitutional .

But what happens if the recounts show that neither candidate has the required 270 .
The Constitution requires that the House selects the President by a simple majority of the states .
That means that each state has one vote regardless of population ; therefore , Rode Island and California have the same vote .

Rush Limbaugh talks about teachable moments in our lives. Over the years, I’ve heard him speak about some significant teachable moments. I would like to use the concept from Rush of teachable moments and offer my own teachable moment concerning the outcome of elections. For almost 20 years, I was a merit badge counselor for the Boy Scouts of America, helping scouts earn merit badges towards Eagle Scout. One of the required badges is citizenship in the nation. The young men were required to read the various documents of our nation’s founding, the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. In their interview, they had to demonstrate to me their counselor that they read these critical documents and had some rudimentary understanding of our nation’s laws.
The Constitution says that the states set the terms for voting. Article 2 of the Constitution says that only the state legislature can amend the laws. Also, in the case of disputed elections, only the state legislature can determine the outcome. I would encourage the Trump team to appeal to the courts that changes in voting rules ordered by the board of elections that are not confirmed by the state legislatures are unconstitutional. All votes recorded under those non-approved terms are unconstitutional and need to be rejected.
According to Fox news Biden has 290 votes, 20 more than necessary to be declared the election winner. The Trump campaign needs to turn Pennsylvania and one of the upper Midwest states of Minnesota, Wisconsin, or Michigan that would take Biden total below 270, and if he flips any one of the three mid-west states, he is over 270 plus the outstanding states he could win. But what happens if the recounts show that neither candidate has the required 270.
The Constitution requires that the House selects the President by a simple majority of the states. That means that each state has one vote regardless of population; therefore, Rode Island and California have the same vote.

To win the presidency, the house votes until one candidate has 26 votes.

If the state delegations vote along party lines, Donald Trump will win re-election. If Biden kept his 20 and was to get all 4 of the split delegations, he would have 24 votes. He would have to turn two additional states from Red to Blue to win the election.
It seems to me to be a simple case for the Trump administration to plead to the court. The state legislature sets the rules, and the Trump case is based on Article 2 of the Constitution, and the court should order the state discard any ballot that did not comply with the legal state regulations in force at the time of the election.
For those of you that were around in Bush vs. Gore, the Supreme Court decided the outcome of that election. Perhaps now people can understand the importance of having a full complement of justices on the court. No one knows how the court would rule. If the motion before the court is based on Article 2, then the vote should be 9 to 0.
Don’t let the media spin that going to the House to determine the President is unprecedented. The fact of it did happen twice, once in 1800 and again in 1824. If we are truly a nation of laws, then we should all let the courts reinforce the need to follow the law. We can’t skirt the constitutional process and run an election to suit our needs.

There ’ s a reason for that , Doc .
That ’ s because so many public health “ experts ” have absolutely beclowned themselves during this pandemic .

On Thursday, Dr. Fauci lamented that scientists and public health experts have been viewed as “authoritarians” during the pandemic. There’s a reason for that, Doc.
That’s because so many public health “experts” have absolutely beclowned themselves during this pandemic.
We’ve been told:
Yeah, so there’s nothing contradictory in that list, is there? Nothing seemingly authoritarian? No?
Not to Dr. Fauci.
In a socially-distanced discussion where he was indoors and removed his mask, Dr. Fauci says that the concept of Individual Liberty that is the thing that makes the United States that “Shining City On A Hill” to the rest of the world should be curbed during a pandemic and Americans should just “do what they’re told.”
Whitehouse coronavirus advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci thinks that Americans have an independent spirit, but that there are times when it’s in our best interest to follow the rules. Fauci, speaking on Thursday at Washington National Cathedral with other top health experts on the pandemic, noted that it is a bit unfair to compare the United States’ coronavirus response with other countries. The United States isn’t an island with five million people that can easily be shut down, he notes. So suppressing and controlling the virus is a lot more of a challenge. “I was talking with my U.K. colleagues who are saying the U.K. is similar to where we are now, because each of our countries have that independent spirit,” he said on stage. “I can understand that, but now is the time to do what you’re told.” Source: CNBC
Here is what Dr. Fauci said right near the end:
I love the chuckle at the end there from “The Fauch.”
Just do what we’re told?
What we’re told is contradictory!
Wear a mask inside your home and you could die if you go to church but an indoor concert is fine. The Sturgis Biker rally is a “super-spreader event” but the George Floyd riots and partying in the streets are not?!
Does that somehow make any sense?!
This is your reminder that a public health expert is just a Swamp Creature with a medical degree.
Dr. Fauci has been working in public health since 1968. Maybe it’s time to hang up the stethoscope, Doc.

Many of the council members he was addressing pledged months ago to work toward “ending” the department following George Floyd’s death.–StarTribune
The chief faced open hostility from much of city council over his request for more funding, but he stood his ground.
He noted that about 90% of the department’s budget goes toward officers’ salaries and benefits. The chief told Fletcher that, if he had a better idea, he should share it. “If you choose to say no to these victims of crime, then please stand by that,” Arradondo said.
Unlike the ‘defund the police’ city council, at least the police chief had both a grasp of the problem and a specific plan to address it.
Arradondo is asking for money to bring in 20 to 40 officers from the Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office and Metro Transit Police to form joint enforcement teams. The city would reimburse the agencies for their officers’ salaries and benefits. While the details of the contracts are still being negotiated, Arradondo said he imagines the extra officers would be available to help answer 911 calls or work on special teams formed to help combat violence in hot spots. —StarTribune
For context:
At the beginning of the year, the department had 874 police officers, seven of whom were on some form of leave. As of Monday, it had 834 officers, 121 of whom were on leave, according to spokesman John Elder. Some of the officers on leave have filed PTSD claims stemming from their response to the unrest that followed Floyd’s death. —StarTribune
Gee, why do you suppose Trump spent so much time beating that drum about law and order?

The Deep State has gone so rogue that they are keeping the commander in chief in the dark about military deployments .
Specifically Syria .
When they talk about the military-industrial complex , they weren ’ t kidding , were they ?
Last we checked , the rank-and-file are subservient to their superior officers , and they are ALL subservient to the person and vision of the civilian leadership the American electorate put in charge .
Running operations outside the scope of — let alone contrary to — that chain of command is treacherous and criminal , not heroic .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ having ‘ deceived ’ the President over the actual details of overseas military deployment in actual war zones ?
Trending : WATCH : Dr. Fauci Says That America Has An ‘ Independent Spirit ’ But It ’ s Time To ‘ Do What You ’ re Told ’ To Stop COVID Crap like this can create an international incident .
Because what , some bureaucrat at a desk thinks HE ’ s the smart guy who should really be in charge here ?
Trump has filled these 4 years with efforts to bring @ @ @ @ @ @ @ can return home in one piece , and the region can return to whatever modicum of peace the locals can manage .
We have a few high-ranking military malcontents who were pretty pissed about Trump ’ s Syria pull-out plans .
They were dismayed to learn that the President thought HE should make that call , whatever the generals might think about it .
The # Resist impulse of the left and the Deep State was so strong that they have been emboldened to secretly oppose explicit foreign policy orders and keep the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Diplomat and author of the NeverTrump letter calling his POTUS a ‘ danger to America ’ , Jim Jeffery has reluctantly come to support Trump ’ s Middle East foreign policy .
But even as he praises the president ’ s support of what he describes as a successful “ realpolitik ” approach to the region , he acknowledges that his team routinely misled senior leaders about troop levels in Syria .
“ We were always playing shell games to not make clear to our leadership how many troops we had there @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The actual number of troops in northeast Syria is “ a lot more than ” the roughly two hundred troops Trump initially agreed to leave there in 2019 .
Trump ’ s abruptly-announced withdrawal of U.S. troops from Syria remains perhaps the single-most controversial foreign policy move during his first years in office , and for Jeffrey , “ the most controversial thing in my fifty years in government.
” The order , first handed down in December 2018 , led to the resignation of former Defense Secretary Jim Mattis .
It @ @ @ @ @ @ @ special envoy for Syria , into the role of special envoy in the counter-ISIS fight when it sparked the protest resignation of his predecessor , Brett McGurk .
For Jeffrey , the incident was far less cut-and-dry — but it is ultimately a success story that ended with U.S. troops still operating in Syria , denying Russian and Syrian territorial gains and preventing ISIS remnants from reconstituting .
–DefenseOne We ’ re not supposed to call the press the ‘ enemy of the people ’ .
But what do you call a group @ @ @ @ @ @ @ — opposed and hamstrung the policies of a duly elected President , and cheered the military going rogue ?
What do you call a group that hides damning and corroborated allegations of pay for play and big-dollar corruption that hurts American interests to pad his own wallet so fully that a number of Biden voters big enough to flip some states WOULD have voted differently had they known about the Hunter allegations ?
They don ’ t want us to have the information required to vote like a citizen .
They want us @ @ @ @ @ @

The Deep State has gone so rogue that they are keeping the commander in chief in the dark about military deployments. Specifically Syria.
When they talk about the military-industrial complex, they weren’t kidding, were they?
Last we checked, the rank-and-file are subservient to their superior officers, and they are ALL subservient to the person and vision of the civilian leadership the American electorate put in charge.
Running operations outside the scope of — let alone contrary to — that chain of command is treacherous and criminal, not heroic. So why are these deep-staters laughing about having ‘deceived’ the President over the actual details of overseas military deployment in actual war zones?
Crap like this can create an international incident. Because what, some bureaucrat at a desk thinks HE’s the smart guy who should really be in charge here?
Trump has filled these 4 years with efforts to bring decisive ends to conflict so that troops can return home in one piece, and the region can return to whatever modicum of peace the locals can manage.
We have a few high-ranking military malcontents who were pretty pissed about Trump’s Syria pull-out plans. They were dismayed to learn that the President thought HE should make that call, whatever the generals might think about it.
The #Resist impulse of the left and the Deep State was so strong that they have been emboldened to secretly oppose explicit foreign policy orders and keep the President UNinformed about the status of forces.
Diplomat and author of the NeverTrump letter calling his POTUS a ‘danger to America’, Jim Jeffery has reluctantly come to support Trump’s Middle East foreign policy.
But even as he praises the president’s support of what he describes as a successful “realpolitik” approach to the region, he acknowledges that his team routinely misled senior leaders about troop levels in Syria. “We were always playing shell games to not make clear to our leadership how many troops we had there,” Jeffrey said in an interview. The actual number of troops in northeast Syria is “a lot more than” the roughly two hundred troops Trump initially agreed to leave there in 2019. Trump’s abruptly-announced withdrawal of U.S. troops from Syria remains perhaps the single-most controversial foreign policy move during his first years in office, and for Jeffrey, “the most controversial thing in my fifty years in government.” The order, first handed down in December 2018, led to the resignation of former Defense Secretary Jim Mattis. It catapulted Jeffrey, then Trump’s special envoy for Syria, into the role of special envoy in the counter-ISIS fight when it sparked the protest resignation of his predecessor, Brett McGurk. For Jeffrey, the incident was far less cut-and-dry — but it is ultimately a success story that ended with U.S. troops still operating in Syria, denying Russian and Syrian territorial gains and preventing ISIS remnants from reconstituting. –DefenseOne
We’re not supposed to call the press the ‘enemy of the people’. But what do you call a group who has — for explicitly political reasons — opposed and hamstrung the policies of a duly elected President, and cheered the military going rogue?
This is staggering. And the @washingtonpost bureau chief for Syria,Libya @LizSly thinks it's funny. If ever there was an example of the press being the #EnemyOfThePeople I believe we've found our poster girl. https://t.co/Hs3HfiupnC — Katewerk (@katewerk) November 13, 2020
What do you call a group that hides damning and corroborated allegations of pay for play and big-dollar corruption that hurts American interests to pad his own wallet so fully that a number of Biden voters big enough to flip some states WOULD have voted differently had they known about the Hunter allegations?
They don’t want us to have the information required to vote like a citizen.
They want us sheared like sheep, instead.

If CNN was trying to debunk Trump ’ s claim that “ Fake News ” is the enemy of the people… this isn ’ t the best way to do it .

From beginning to end @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : CONTEST ( ED ) 2020 : Rep Gohmert Weighs In On Critical Piece Of Election Evidence Amanpour starts by talking about Kristallnacht , the night that Jews and their property were targeted by German Nazis in 1938 .

So much fact-checking in such a short piece of video .

• The Jewish people are not an “ identity.

Democrats have literally been saying “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ years , which is delusional .
• Biden and Harris are a “ return to norms ” ?
Yes .
And that ’ s precisely the problem .
The only real accomplishment that Joe Biden can honestly and reasonably claim is his title as the Poster Boy for Mediocrity .
He ’ s a deeply unimpressive person who lies constantly , is a gaffe machine , was almost a non-entity in the Senate , allowed the disgusting smears of Clarence Thomas to be pushed for political reasons , and is a smarmy , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a reasonable living as a duplicitous used car salesman .
But he was there for a looooong time and that helped him cinch the spot as Obama ’ s Veep , which he then parlayed ( with the behind-the-scenes work by Barry ) to boost him to the top of the Democratic ticket , despite allegations of corruption with his family .
It wasn ’ t the Biden name that won him the nom , it was the Obama name .

Seattle BLM Activist Arrested For Arson And Burglary After Breaking Into 7 Homes In An Affluent Neighborhood

Oh , look at that !
A thief and an arsonist member of the BLM movement calling for the defunding of police was arrested .
Lisbeth De La Cruz Monegro , 21 , of Seattle was arrested on Sunday afternoon for arson and burglary after she broke into seven homes in the swanky Leschi neighborhood .
The Seattle Police Department blotter states , “ Police responded to the 100 block of Lake Washington Boulevard East to investigate a burglary-and-fire alarm at 3:15 PM .
Officers arrived at the residence and found two small fires inside the kitchen.

Bearing Arms has reported earlier this year on Seattle’s “broken” criminal justice system. It’s essentially the reverse of Giuliani’s “broken window” approach that cleaned up NYC back in the late 90s — Seattle is letting minor crimes go unpunished and people are reoffending and getting bolder.
Although Monegro wasn’t identified in the police report, she was outed on social media by Morning March Seattle, a group that she is associated with. They were trying to raise money for her.
Likely this update from SPD, broke into multiple homes and started fires. Not stated in SPD update but drugs rumored to be involved. Not protest related, just another (alleged) criminal who wants to abolish/defund the policehttps://t.co/3zVtLapywU — AntifaWatch (@AntifaWatch2) November 9, 2020
AntifaWatch is right — this “defund the police” activist doesn’t care so much about police brutality, she’s just another crook who wants to get away with criminal activity.

clashdaily--2020-11-14--Don’t Back The Truck In To The White House Yet

Rush Limbaugh talks about teachable moments in our lives .
Over the years , I ’ ve heard him speak about some significant teachable moments .
I would like to use the concept from Rush of teachable moments and offer my own teachable moment concerning the outcome of elections .
For almost 20 years , I was a merit badge counselor for the Boy Scouts of America , helping scouts earn merit badges towards Eagle Scout .
One of the required badges is citizenship in the nation .
The young men were required to read the various documents of our @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Independence , the Constitution , and the Bill of Rights .
In their interview , they had to demonstrate to me their counselor that they read these critical documents and had some rudimentary understanding of our nation ’ s laws .
The Constitution says that the states set the terms for voting .
Article 2 of the Constitution says that only the state legislature can amend the laws .
Also , in the case of disputed elections , only the state legislature can determine the outcome .
I would encourage the Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ changes in voting rules ordered by the board of elections that are not confirmed by the state legislatures are unconstitutional .
All votes recorded under those non-approved terms are unconstitutional and need to be rejected .
According to Fox news Biden has 290 votes , 20 more than necessary to be declared the election winner .
The Trump campaign needs to turn Pennsylvania and one of the upper Midwest states of Minnesota , Wisconsin , or Michigan that would take Biden total below 270 , and if he flips any one of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 270 plus the outstanding states he could win .
But what happens if the recounts show that neither candidate has the required 270 .
The Constitution requires that the House selects the President by a simple majority of the states .
That means that each state has one vote regardless of population ; therefore , Rode Island and California have the same vote .
The State delegation votes on which candidate each member wants to be President .
The simple majority vote determines how the state will cast its one vote in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the house votes until one candidate has 26 votes .
Trending : CONTEST ( ED ) 2020 : Rep Gohmert Weighs In On Critical Piece Of Election Evidence Based on the current voting totals , the Republicans control 26 state delegations , and the Democrats control 20 , with the 4 remaining delegations are equally split .
If the state delegations vote along party lines , Donald Trump will win re-election .
If Biden kept his 20 and was to get all 4 of the split delegations , he would have 24 votes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ additional states from Red to Blue to win the election .
It seems to me to be a simple case for the Trump administration to plead to the court .
The state legislature sets the rules , and the Trump case is based on Article 2 of the Constitution , and the court should order the state discard any ballot that did not comply with the legal state regulations in force at the time of the election .
For those of you that were around in Bush vs. Gore , the Supreme Court @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Perhaps now people can understand the importance of having a full complement of justices on the court .
No one knows how the court would rule .
If the motion before the court is based on Article 2 , then the vote should be 9 to 0 .
Don ’ t let the media spin that going to the House to determine the President is unprecedented .
The fact of it did happen twice , once in 1800 and again in 1824 .
If we are truly a nation of laws , then @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the need to follow the law .
We can ’ t skirt the constitutional process and run an election to suit our needs .

As of the close of voting on November 5th , no more votes were supposed to come in .
That ’ s what the law said .
So how do you explain this truck full of boxes ?
Poll Challenger Shane Trejo was watching the polls on behalf of Team Trump .
what he saw raised some serious red flags .
He describes a long time of inactivity where there were no votes being counted , but when the vote counters were just completing their shift , the mysterious truck came in .
What came in was a truck with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , the three workers , the boxes , and someone in a blue hoodie who he had seen earlier in the night .
Trending : CONTEST ( ED ) 2020 : Rep Gohmert Weighs In On Critical Piece Of Election Evidence Toward the end of the shift they were unloaded , but weren ’ t immediately processed .

He ’ s also referring to ways the workers have been hostile to poll watchers .
But that isn ’ t the only thing Trejo saw on election night .
He ’ s looking for answers , but he ’ s getting stonewalled .

Trejo says the ballots could not be processed right when they arrived , so by the time they were starting to be counted , a new shift of poll workers had started .
This is important because Trejo explains that the Biden Ballot Drop was dropped off at the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , so when the new shift came to count ballots they didn ’ t know where the ballots had come from .

You might be surprised how many times knowing the Bible can point to an example shedding relevant light on a modern situation .
In this case , King Soloman faced a situation not unlike our news cycle .
OK kids , show of hands — without looking it up , who recognizes the name ‘ Abishag ’ ?

Seriously , Abishag was almost a ‘ throwaway ’ reference in the storyline of history , but she played an important role in the succession of kings after David succumbed to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ played connects directly to the drama we ’ re seeing play out with the contested General Election results between Trump and Biden .
First , a quick review of what was going on in history at the time .

The public show of his claim to the throne included having sex with David ’ s own concubines on the rooftop of the palace .
Long story short : the rebellion was crushed , the rebel son was killed by one of David ’ s generals , and David returned to the throne .
( see : 2 Sam 15-16 ) Fast forward a few years .
David ’ s virile years are now behind him , and his body is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s got what we would describe as circulation problems and can ’ t stay warm .
His solution ?
Find someone warm to share a bed with him .
The relationship wasn ’ t sexual in nature , she was literally there to keep him from getting cold at night .
The person he chose was Abishag .

David has specifically named Solomon his successor , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ abortive attempt by one faction supporting a challenger from declaring that this OTHER son was king .
That other son ’ s name was Adonijah .
( 1 Kings 1 ) David got out ahead of that plot , declaring Solomon to be heir to the throne so that the people didn ’ t line up behind Adonijah contrary to the promise of God .

Bathsheba asked him , “ Do you come peacefully ?
” He answered , “ Yes , peacefully.
” Then he added , “ I have something to say to you.
” “ You may say it , ” she replied .
“ As you know , ” he said , “ the kingdom was mine .
All @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
But things changed , and the kingdom has gone to my brother ; for it has come to him from the Lord .
Now I have one request to make of you .
Do not refuse me.

So he continued , “ Please ask King Solomon—he will not refuse you—to give me Abishag the Shunammite as my wife.
” “ Very well , ” Bathsheba replied , “ I will speak to the king for you.
” When Bathsheba went to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Adonijah , the king stood up to meet her , bowed down to her and sat down on his throne .
He had a throne brought for the king ’ s mother , and she sat down at his right hand .
“ I have one small request to make of you , ” she said .
“ Do not refuse me.
” The king replied , “ Make it , my mother ; I will not refuse you.
” So she said , “ Let Abishag the Shunammite be given in marriage @ @ @ @ @ @ @ answered his mother , “ Why do you request Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah ?
You might as well request the kingdom for him—after all , he is my older brother—yes , for him and for Abiathar the priest and Joab son of Zeruiah !
” Then King Solomon swore by the Lord : “ May God deal with me , be it ever so severely , if Adonijah does not pay with his life for this request !
And now , as surely as the Lord lives—he who has established me securely @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and has founded a dynasty for me as he promised—Adonijah shall be put to death today !
” So King Solomon gave orders to Benaiah son of Jehoiada , and he struck down Adonijah and he died .

Seriously, Abishag was almost a ‘throwaway’ reference in the storyline of history, but she played an important role in the succession of kings after David succumbed to old age. And the role she played connects directly to the drama we’re seeing play out with the contested General Election results between Trump and Biden.
First, a quick review of what was going on in history at the time.
King David had a long and very successful reign as king. But the stated divine consequence for adultery with Bathsheba and murdering her husband to cover it up was that strife would not leave his house.
The strife he eventually dealt with included one of his sons launching an uprising against him. The public show of his claim to the throne included having sex with David’s own concubines on the rooftop of the palace.

Skip ahead a little further, when it is nearly time for David’s heir to ascend to the throne. David has specifically named Solomon his successor, but that didn’t stop an abortive attempt by one faction supporting a challenger from declaring that this OTHER son was king. That other son’s name was Adonijah. (1 Kings 1)

With David out of the way and Solomon on the throne, Adonijah hadn’t given up his ambitions. Rather than approaching Solomon directly, he approached his half-brother’s mom requesting a favor in the following exchange (1Kings2):

Bathsheba asked him, “Do you come peacefully?” He answered, “Yes, peacefully.” Then he added, “I have something to say to you.” “You may say it,” she replied. “As you know,” he said, “the kingdom was mine.

What the hell does this story have to do with an election 3000 years later and halfway around the planet?
Simple.
Adonijah, like Absolom before him, tried to capture the strength of public opinion to establish his claim on ascending to the throne, whether it was his by right or not.
In America, we have a process for deciding who has legitimately ascended to the Office of the President.
That process is not decided by newspapers, TV studios, or some elaborate ‘decision desk’. It is not decided by a consensus of public officials announcing they have won.
It is decided, ultimately, when each State, having satisfied any issues relating to contested counts certifies their vote until one candidate has captured the Electoral College.
In the unlikely event that no decision is possible, there are several other steps in place to resolve a contested result. Those steps have been used in the past, when necessary.
We are not yet in anything remotely resembling ‘Constitutional Crisis’, and won’t be unless investigations into the election turn up evidence that specific races are both corrupted, and irretrievably tainted.
But you would never know this by the way news agencies, Big Tech, and Democrat activists (but I repeat myself) are tripping over themselves to both declare Biden the winner, and discredit any aspect of the Constitutional due process of which Trump is making good use.
Their use of the label ‘President-elect’ is exactly parallel to the two claims on the throne we see with Abishag or the concubines in David’s day.
Rather than wait for the ‘successor’ to the 2016-2020 term to be named (whichever of the two candidates may eventually win out) Biden supporters are getting out ahead of the orderly result so that the narrative and public sentiment will be that the election was ‘overturned’ if evidence for judicial rulings favor Trump.
Judges are human too, taking a win AWAY from a WINNER is a very different thing, psychologically than making a decision between two hopeful candidates.
This is by design.
