(ST) – Senior Pentagon leaders have a lot to worry about — Afghanistan, Russia, Iraq, Syria, Iran, China, Somalia, the Korean Peninsula. But chief among those concerns is whether their commander in chief might order U.S. troops into any chaos around the coming elections.
President Donald Trump gave officials no solace Wednesday and Thursday when he again refused to commit to a peaceful transfer of power no matter who wins the election, and Thursday, he doubled down by saying he was not sure the election could be “honest.” His hedging, along with his expressed desire in June to invoke the 1807 Insurrection Act to send active-duty troops onto American streets to quell protests over the killing of George Floyd, has incited deep anxiety among senior military and Defense Department leaders, who insist they will do all they can to keep the armed forces out of the elections.
“I believe deeply in the principle of an apolitical U.S. military,” Gen. Mark A. Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said in written answers to questions from House lawmakers released last month. “In the event of a dispute over some aspect of the elections, by law, U.S. courts and the U.S. Congress are required to resolve any disputes, not the U.S. military. I foresee no role for the U.S. armed forces in this process.”

But that has not stopped an intensifying debate in the military about its role should a disputed election lead to civil unrest. On Aug. 11, John Nagl and Paul Yingling, both retired Army officers and Iraq War veterans, published an open letter to Milley on the website Defense One. “In a few months’ time, you may have to choose between defying a lawless president or betraying your constitutional oath,” they wrote.
“If Donald Trump refuses to leave office at the expiration of his constitutional term, the United States military must remove him by force, and you must give that order.” Pentagon officials swiftly said such an outcome was preposterous. Under no circumstances, they said, would the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff send Navy SEALs or Marines to haul Trump out of the White House. READ MORE


endtimeheadlines--2020-09-25--Arresting People For Not Wearing Masks Is Another Giant Step Toward Total Tyranny

( OPINION ) Michael Snyder – If anyone doubts that the country that many of us loved so much is almost totally gone , just look at what is going on all around the U.S. right now .
People are actually being arrested and put in prison for not wearing masks .
If authorities are willing to get this extreme during a relatively minor pandemic , what are they going to do to us when a true national emergency breaks out ?
I certainly don ’ t have anything against anyone that wants to wear a mask , and I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with officials that want to encourage everyone to wear one .
But when it gets to a point where the police are actively hunting for “ non-conformers ” and are dragging them off to prison in handcuffs , that should tell all of us that we aren ’ t living in a free country anymore .
I am sure that by now most of you have heard what happened to a woman in Ohio that was attending a middle school football game .
She had the audacity not to wear a mask , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ taser on her , arrested her and dragged her away in handcuffs… An Ohio woman at a middle school football game was tasered and arrested by a police officer for not wearing a face mask in the bleachers .
Around 300 people attended a Marietta City Schools football game where Alecia Kitts , of Marietta , was filmed getting handcuffed on Wednesday in the city of Logan .
I would expect something like that to happen in China , but not in the United States .
What in the world is happening to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ incident was , I was even more disturbed by the arrests that just took place in Moscow , Idaho… At least five Christians were arrested during a hymn sing in the parking lot of city hall in Moscow , Idaho .
Hands up , don ’ t sing .

Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a law Saturday that requires the Golden state to let inmates who identify as transgender, nonbinary, or intersex be housed on the basis of “gender identity” instead of biological sex.
