Hollywood actor and conservative social media commentator James Woods reminded his followers of the power of the Second Amendment in a Twitter post on Thursday .

Hollywood actor and conservative social media commentator James Woods reminded his followers of the power of the Second Amendment in a Twitter post on Thursday.
Woods, a favorite of many conservatives online, perfectly encapsulated the power of the right to bear arms amid the country’s latest crisis, which this time involves the still-contested presidential election.
That power goes beyond muzzle velocity and caliber size.
It’s deeply psychological and personal.
The Second Amendment is also uniquely American.
As a country, since March, we’ve endured a pandemic, a government overreaction to that pandemic, riots, nationwide civil unrest and now an election which a great many voters worry could be stolen from them.
These are trying times, but life is sometimes difficult.
Luckily, we can cling to our faith and our guns.
While faith is the most powerful tool we have amid this current psychological nightmare with regard to the election, it’s important to remember that we have a right to protect ourselves.

Woods said it best.
The actor tweeted, “Watching the riots and mayhem, all funded by the same people stealing the election, I am comforted by one sure and shining light: the wisdom of the Founding Fathers.”
He added, “Can you imagine enduring this nightmare without the reassuring power of the Second Amendment?”
Watching the riots and mayhem, all funded by the same people stealing the election, I am comforted by one sure and shining light: the wisdom of the Founding Fathers. Can you imagine enduring this nightmare without the reassuring power of the Second Amendment? — James Woods (@RealJamesWoods) November 5, 2020
It is difficult to imagine the country’s hell of a year without the firearms many of us carry, collect and rely on for home protection, sport or general leverage against potential tyranny.
The fact that so many Americans have purchased guns this year in record numbers tells us how important the Second Amendment is to our collective psyche.
Gun ownership is ingrained in American culture.
You could even argue guns are part of the system of checks and balances.
But Woods wasn’t making a call to arms.
He was celebrating.
Firearms are a last resort which many global citizens do not have, and that’s difficult to fathom.
A year which has seen individual liberties eroded by government tyranny in areas such as Michigan, California, New Jersey and Pennsylvania saw Americans buy so many guns, the FBI couldn’t keep up with background checks at times.
The National Instant Criminal Background Check System background check system froze up on me twice this year while I was purchasing guns.
It was a minor inconvenience, sure. But it was nice to know there were so many other people out exercising their rights that it hit the system like a DDoS attack.
The system crashed because people wanted to arm themselves so they wouldn’t be left defenseless, no matter the potential threat.
Many of us pray to God we continue to only need our guns to use at ranges and to show off in our collections.
But when the world feels a bit topsy-turvy, it’s comforting to know so many of us are not only armed, but we are essentially encouraged to own guns by our country’s founding documents.

Even if , by the margin of a stack of contested mail-in ballots , Democrat Joe Biden wins the presidential election , one former Trump adviser is telling Americans not to toss out those “ Make America Great Again ” lawn signs .

Given Trump ’ s ability to get votes and the unprecedented loyalty his supporters have shown , “ the Republicans would step aside to let it happen , ” Lanza said , referring to the possibility that Trump loses this year and runs again in 2024 .
Speaking about Trump ’ s attempt to throw shade on Biden ’ s vote totals , Lanza said , “ I don ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ what the Democrats did when they told Americans that Russians were involved in Donald Trump ’ s election four years ago.

westernjournal--2020-11-06--Fact Check: Biden Can’t Oust Trump Just Because POTUS Refuses To Concede

A spokesperson for Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden issued a bellicose statement Friday equating President Donald Trump with a White House trespasser , and essentially threatened to have him physically removed .
Biden spokesman Andrew Bates suggested the president could be removed from office by force in a statement obtained by Fox News Friday .
“ As we said on July 19th , the American people will decide this election , ” Bates said .
Added the Biden spokesman , “ And the United States government is perfectly capable of escorting trespassers out of the White House.
” TRENDING : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Trump Holds Sizable Lead in Another That aggressive stance came as Trump signals he has no plans to concede the election while votes are still being tabulated and the election is expected to end up in the federal courts .
We can assume the statement was released , in part , to further the narrative that the president has lost the election .
While that might end up ultimately being the case , the Biden campaign will not decide who comes out ahead in the election , nor will the media .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ or the mainstream media have any say in when Trump would relinquish the Oval Office in the scenario of a declared Biden victory ?
A simple check of the facts reveals that on its face , the simple answer is no , and the implication from Democrats is rooted in political theatre .
Trump has every right and reason at this point in the process to refuse to concede an election that is being contested under the current circumstances .
It is days after the election and a winner has not been officially @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to exhaust all legal options between now and Jan. 20 , which is Inauguration Day .
While Trump ’ s legal maneuvers might prove unsuccessful , the White House remains his up until that date , and his duties as president remain intact .
RELATED : Watch : Rachel Maddow Gasps , Says 'Oh God ' When She Realizes Trump Is Gaining in Arizona Bates ’ aggressive statement makes the false assumption that a defeated president is simply refusing to go away .
That is not the case , and it appears there @ @ @ @ @ @ @ which Trump will have the opportunity to make his case to both the courts and the American people .
There also exists the chance , no matter how slim that might feel right now , that Trump could indeed still win .
An outgoing president has an obligation to vacate his office , so if on Jan. 21 , a former President Trump is still in the White House , Bates ’ chest pounding might be relevant .
But Trump has given no indication he intends to do anything but to receive a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ which he ’ s entitled to .
Simply put a refusal by Trump to concede a contested election does not equal refusal to vacate the office .
But with no clear resolution to the election in the first week of November , the rhetoric from Democrats is more gas on the fire .
Trump ’ s critics four the last four years have painted him as an illegitimate occupier of the White House in an effort to invalidate his presidency .
Friday ’ s statement from the Biden camp is simply more of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ words is to paint Trump as a besieged president who is , as of this moment , refusing to hand over the keys .
Any attempts by the media , Democrats or anyone else to portray Trump as illegally occupying the White House before Jan. 20 do more damage to the office which Biden hopes to take in 75 days .
We are committed to truth and accuracy in all of our journalism .

Added the Biden spokesman, “And the United States government is perfectly capable of escorting trespassers out of the White House.”

That aggressive stance came as Trump signals he has no plans to concede the election while votes are still being tabulated and the election is expected to end up in the federal courts.
We can assume the statement was released, in part, to further the narrative that the president has lost the election.
While that might end up ultimately being the case, the Biden campaign will not decide who comes out ahead in the election, nor will the media.

But does the Biden campaign, Democrats or the mainstream media have any say in when Trump would relinquish the Oval Office in the scenario of a declared Biden victory?
A simple check of the facts reveals that on its face, the simple answer is no, and the implication from Democrats is rooted in political theatre.
Trump has every right and reason at this point in the process to refuse to concede an election that is being contested under the current circumstances.
It is days after the election and a winner has not been officially declared. The president has every right to exhaust all legal options between now and Jan. 20, which is Inauguration Day.
While Trump’s legal maneuvers might prove unsuccessful, the White House remains his up until that date, and his duties as president remain intact.
Bates’ aggressive statement makes the false assumption that a defeated president is simply refusing to go away.
That is not the case, and it appears there could be a prolonged battle ahead in which Trump will have the opportunity to make his case to both the courts and the American people.
There also exists the chance, no matter how slim that might feel right now, that Trump could indeed still win.
An outgoing president has an obligation to vacate his office, so if on Jan. 21, a former President Trump is still in the White House, Bates’ chest pounding might be relevant.
But Trump has given no indication he intends to do anything but to receive a fair review of the election results, which he’s entitled to.
Simply put a refusal by Trump to concede a contested election does not equal refusal to vacate the office.
But with no clear resolution to the election in the first week of November, the rhetoric from Democrats is more gas on the fire.
Trump’s critics for the last four years have painted him as an illegitimate occupier of the White House in an effort to invalidate his presidency.
Friday’s statement from the Biden camp is simply more of that.
The likely intent of Bates’ words is to paint Trump as a besieged president who is, as of this moment, refusing to hand over the keys.
Any attempts by the media, Democrats or anyone else to portray Trump as illegally occupying the White House before Jan. 20 do more damage to the office which Biden hopes to take in 75 days.
America has a traditionally honored peaceful transfer of power.

A Michigan county has flipped from a win for Democrat Joe Biden to one for President Donald Trump after the discovery of a reported software “glitch” and a manual recount.
“Officials with Antrim County posted updated results showing President Trump won the county with 9,783 votes making up 56.46% of ballots cast. Joe Biden earned 7,289 votes or 42.07%,” WLNS-TV reported.
Results in Antrim County published on Wednesday morning showed Biden winning by slightly more than 3,000 votes, with 98 percent of precincts reporting, according to the Detroit Free Press.
Trump carried the northwestern Michigan county over Hillary Clinton by approximately 4,000 votes in 2016.
Antrim County officials blamed the election software system, explaining that totals counted did not match tabulator tapes.
Software provided by a company called “Dominion Voting Systems” and used in the county is also used in 64 other counties across the Wolverine State, WLNS-TV reported.
However, a spokesperson for Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson told the outlet “the skewed results were the result of a ‘county user error’ not a software issue and there is no reason to believe similar errors with ballot counts happened anywhere else.”
Tom McMillin, a former state lawmaker from Oakland County and member of the state board of education, told the Detroit Free Press he noticed irregularities with the Antrim County vote tallies late Tuesday when he was reviewing the returns for board of education candidates.
“It just looked weird,” he said, noting Biden and other Democrats had far more votes than normal. “Two-thirds of the townships looked really messed up.”

“I received a call from the Oakland County Elections Division telling me that there had been a technical glitch in several precincts,” Kochenderfer said in a Thursday Facebook post. “Instead of losing by 104 votes, I won by 1,127.”

“Working together with President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris, the Democratic House will be ready on Day One to advance extraordinary change For The People,” she continued.
Pelosi claimed votes were cast for Democrats to “crush the coronavirus and safely reopen schools and the economy.”
She also promised a Democratic majority would accomplish “lower healthcare costs, bigger paychecks and cleaner government,” while “championing progress for seniors, veterans, immigrants, LGBTQ Americans, women, young people and frontline communities.”
“With a Democratic president, a Democratic House and Democrats in the Senate, it is imperative that we enact initiatives to make the economy fairer — ending wealth and health disparities,” Pelosi added.

She also claimed Democratic incumbents who supported initiatives like the New Green Deal were re-elected.
There are folks running around on TV blaming progressivism for Dem underperformance. I was curious, so I decided to open the hood on struggling campaigns of candidates who are blaming progressives for their problems. Almost all had awful execution on digital. DURING A PANDEMIC. — Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) November 6, 2020
So the whole “progressivism is bad” argument just doesn’t have any compelling evidence that I’ve seen. There are swing seat Dem incumbents who cosponsored the Green New Deal, Medicare for All, etc and if I’m not mistaken every single one won re-election. — Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) November 6, 2020

westernjournal--2020-11-06--Punk with Terrifying Weapon To Be Charged with Attempted Strangulation of Cop: Police

A man in New York City was arrested for allegedly attempting to strangle a police officer with a metal chain during election-related protests on Thursday .
In what you can assume the mainstream media would probably classify as a mostly peaceful alleged attempt at killing a cop , the NYPD reported how a man attacked one of New York ’ s finest .
“ Tonight , while performing their duties near Bond St & Broadway in Manhattan , an officer was pushed to the ground & had this chain pressed against his throat , ” NYPD News tweeted .
“ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ charged with assault , criminal possession of a weapon & attempted strangulation.
” TRENDING : Morning Update : Two Key Battlegrounds Deadlocked , Trump Holds Sizable Lead in Another In a follow-up tweet , the NYPD noted , “ Violence – in any form – is unacceptable .
We will be reviewing this incident , and bring any additional perpetrators to justice.
” That ’ s bold statement , seeing as New York City ’ s bail reform laws could arguably see the suspect released , if he hasn ’ t already been @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Democratic leadership has made it a priority to turn alleged violent criminals loose , despite some alleged crimes being violent .
The result is people accused of heinous crimes being back on the street in a day or so .
With the presidential election contested , it also wouldn ’ t be a stretch to speculate that the alleged chain attacker could be right back out on the streets for more protests .
Elected Democrats in the city , such as Mayor Bill de Blasio , have a penchant for fomenting chaos — @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wasn ’ t charged with attempted murder .
Why keep him in custody when he can be useful for spreading more unrest ?
WNYW-TV reported that the attack occurred when a group of demonstrators upset that the presidential race has not yet been called gathered for a “ We Choose Freedom ” rally .
The outlet reported participants in the rally carried rainbow and Black Lives Matter flags .
The group also chanted slogans such as “ all cops are bad.
” But the anti-cop language and attempted strangling are not to sum @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was deemed peaceful .
WNYW noted , “ While there were some scuffles , police said Thursday ’ s clash was nothing like the trash fires and bottle tossing that marred a peaceful march in the city on Wednesday.
” In what world is an event which included “ trash fires ” and “ scuffles ” a peaceful march ?
Only in the world of the media that is still trying to convince us that violent gatherings of leftists are part of a legitimate movement , apparently .
At least a dozen arrests @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 50 were made in New York City Wednesday .
All of them were related to the mostly peaceful protesting of the election .
Despite the appearance of nationwide election funny business with ballots in favor of Democratic presidential hopeful Joe Biden , and the fact that the media is salivating at the moment it can call the race for him , the leftists ’ street agitates are still not content .
It appears as if their political movement might snatch a victory from those who voted in favor of law and order during @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are still resorting to the violence Democrats and the media have allowed to become normalized .

The city’s Democratic leadership has made it a priority to turn alleged violent criminals loose, despite some alleged crimes being violent.
The result is people accused of heinous crimes being back on the street in a day or so.
With the presidential election contested, it also wouldn’t be a stretch to speculate that the alleged chain attacker could be right back out on the streets for more protests.
Do you think the left's political violence will continue if Biden is declared the winner of the election? Yes No

Elected Democrats in the city, such as Mayor Bill de Blasio, have a penchant for fomenting chaos — which is probably why the alleged attacker wasn’t charged with attempted murder.
Why keep him in custody when he can be useful for spreading more unrest?
WNYW-TV reported that the attack occurred when a group of demonstrators upset that the presidential race has not yet been called gathered for a “We Choose Freedom” rally.
The outlet reported participants in the rally carried rainbow and Black Lives Matter flags.
The group also chanted slogans such as “all cops are bad.”
But the anti-cop language and attempted strangling are not to sum up the leftists’ rally, which was deemed peaceful.
WNYW noted, “While there were some scuffles, police said Thursday’s clash was nothing like the trash fires and bottle tossing that marred a peaceful march in the city on Wednesday.”
In what world is an event which included “trash fires” and “scuffles” a peaceful march?
Only in the world of the media that is still trying to convince us that violent gatherings of leftists are part of a legitimate movement, apparently.
At least a dozen arrests were made Thursday, while more than 50 were made in New York City Wednesday.
All of them were related to the mostly peaceful protesting of the election.
Despite the appearance of nationwide election funny business with ballots in favor of Democratic presidential hopeful Joe Biden, and the fact that the media is salivating at the moment it can call the race for him, the leftists’ street agitates are still not content.
It appears as if their political movement might snatch a victory from those who voted in favor of law and order during Tuesday’s voting, yet they are still resorting to the violence Democrats and the media have allowed to become normalized.
