January 6th is approaching rapidly

Globalism / Great Reset -
British PM Johnson tweeted “Proud that the UK is taking over the 2021 Presidency of the G7 today. Hosting both the G7 Summit and @COP26 (CLIMATE CONFERENCE) will make this a hugely important year for Global Britain and I look forward to welcoming our friends and allies as we beat COVID and ***build back better*** from the pandemic. “Build Back Better” is a code phrase associated with the Great Reset and Agenda 2030.

Wuhan Virus -
More evidence that your average seasonal flu is being folded in with wuhan virus counts. CDC notes that show positive clinical detections at 0.1% for week 52, last year it was at 22%. Excuses range from the wuhan protection measures being so effective its preventing flu, though abysmally failing to protect from wuhan, to wuhan being far more infectious. Bottom line, wuhan numbers are grossly contaminated with other diseases/conditions.

The more infectious wuhan variant has been detected in 30 countries now.

2020 Election-
Resistance is building the Senate and House to the final Electoral certification on Jan 6th (12 Senators and about 120 Congressmen). Key component of the Senator Cruz (plus 11) memo is a 10 day emergency audit of the votes from disputed states. Much, much other stuff is flying out there as to who can do what - much of that is disinformation and non-informed commentary and wishes. The underlying sense I get is something is going to happen (or that could just be hopium).

CW2/Civil Disturbances -
Sen McConnell’s house was vandalized like Pelosi’s with stimulus related graffiti.

Portland Mayor Wheeler is all upset that BLM/Antifa continued to burn up Portland over New Years eve. He’s asked for federal help apparently. He’s about 9 months too late. I’ve pointed out that these riots will continue under a biden administration as a tool of the marxist/progressives to continue to force the democrat party to the hard left agenda.

Domestic Terror -
Authorities say Anthony Warner sent materials about his views to people he knew. I haven’t seen what these ‘views’ are, however you can bet that if they were pro-Trump they’d be all over the place.

Strategic Developments /Deployments -
US forces in the middle east are at high levels of readiness due to Soleimani anniversary

China -
China has threatened the British aircraft carrier “Queen Elizabeth 2” which is scheduled to operate in the South China sea region that China claims as territorial waters.

NYSE delisting of 3 Chinese companies has brought threats of retaliation from China. These companies, all telecommunications related were moved based on an EO from President Trump in November 2020. The EO bans companies with connections to China’s military.

Venezuela -
Venezuela’s government is planning to move to a fully digital economy as hyperinflation has made worthless bolivar notes practically disappear, and dollarization expands through the local financial system. Venezuela’s currency has lost 99% of its value during three years of hyperinflation. Inflation soared 5,790% in the last 12 months. The largest note now in circulation, 50,000 bolivars, is worth about $0.04.

Middle East, General -
There is a lot of air tanker activity over the region again today. Many consider this to be a sign that USAF fast movers are on station. There are also a lot of intel aircraft up and flying as well, demanding fuel.

Israel -
Military forces at high alert for attacks associated with the first anniversary of the death of Soleimani

Iran - Date to remember, January 3d - anniversary of the death of Soleimani.
Memorial protests occurring in at least Iran, Iraq and Yemen. Some analysts don’t see Iran acting out on its threats against the US prior to Jan 20th - to avoid the wrath of Trump.

Iraq -
Protests marking the death of Soleimani have begun in Bagdad’s Tahrir Square.

if they have to present their evidence to a Court, it won’t do any good. The Courts have already said they were not interested. The same thing with Congress. The time for talking has past.

If Cruz’s plan goes forward, historical precedent indicates that the USSC will be part of the panel. They will be forced to see the evidence, like it or not.

the data is screwed up on multiple levels. IMHO this was the democrat plan all along - flood the zone, violate the vote on so many levels and ways that it would be nearly impossible to investigate before Jan 20th and after the 20th no investigations would continue (democrats investigating themselves -in what alternative reality).

T-minus 2 days and counting . . . .

Wuhan Virus -
CDC data analysis indicates that over 100,000 have died due to the lockdown between the ages of 25 and 44 (this group only accounts for 3% of wuhan related deaths). Increased drug overdoses, and delayed medical screenings will contribute even more avoidable deaths.

Nearly 300 Israelis got infected with wuhan only days after receiving their vaccination shot (Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine).

Economy -
Mixed projections by different sectors for 2021. Much depends on how quickly the economy will be allowed to open up. A biden Administration, from what they’ve been announcing, looks ready to inflict deeper damage than at its worst from last summer. Many globalists see the necessity of destroying economies (especially the US) as a necessary precursor to implement the new economy of the ‘Great Reset’.

2020 Election-
Yesterday’s release of a heavily edited audio of a discussion between President Trump and GA SoS hit the streets with vengeance, full MSM shrillness. However, WaPo is covering its arse already with the whole, unedited audio - realizing that their charges won’t stand and likely because the release by the GA SoS was highly and completely illegal. The conversation, in context, tells a much different story than what WaPo released.

GA has also been in the sights of Project Veritas, and rumors are that video/audio of election illegalities will hit the street starting today.

Democrat VP nominee, Kamala Harris, was sworn back in as a US senator Sunday. Wonder how much confidence the democrats have in the election “results”.

CW2/Civil Disturbances -
Karma continues to hound Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler. After facilitating BLM/Antifa destruction and terror and driving dozens of police officers away from the force, he finds himself trying to stop that which he has condoned. This will not end well for law abiding citizens of Portland.

As plans continue for the Jan 6th rally in DC, leftists continue to try to throw monkey wrenches into logistical needs to prevent/minimize participation. The biggest is the attempt to close hotels to Trump supporters. So far only one hotel has succumbed to the threats. This tactic is a double edge sword by preventing BLM/Antifa elements outside of the DC metro area access to join their counter protesting marxists. Violence from the left is a certainty. I have concerns about the safety of the President with not only that in view, but Iran’s recent threats on his life.

Strategic Developments /Deployments -
In a reversal, acting Defense Secretary Miller announces that he has ordered the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz “to halt its routine redeployment” from the Middle East “ due to the recent threats issued by Iranian leaders against President Trump and other US government officials”. It is to stay on station in the Arabian Gulf.
MY OBSERVATION - wasn’t the best idea to remove / redeploy the carrier in the first place until it could be replaced on station. There may be new intel on Iranian actions and the CSG has assets that can deal with Iranian naval assets, freeing USAF assets to strike better targets.

Two Iron Dome defense system batteries have been delivered to the US Army by Israel. It should provide coverage between the Patriot system and lighter, shorter ranged air defense systems already out there.

Israel -
Prime Minister Netanyahu says Iran’s decision to enrich uranium to 20% in an underground facility “has no explanation other than that it is continuing to carry out its plans to develop a military nuclear program.” He adds: “Israel will not allow Iran to produce nuclear weapons”

Iran - Date to remember, January 3d - anniversary of the death of Soleimani.
NOTE - memorial protests for Soleimani are done, doesn’t mean that the window for a potential retaliatory attack as closed. Asymetrical warfare by Iran is its signature move in the region via its numerous proxies.

News reports indicate a South Korean flagged Chemical Tanker HANKUK CHEMI has been detained by Iranian forces while inbound to Fujairah. Iranian claim that the tanker was ‘polluting’ the gulf. This is probably an effort to increase its pressure on South Korea to release billions of dollars of oil-export revenue, arguing that Seoul is buckling to pressure from its U.S. ally and illegally withholding funds needed to counter the Middle East’s worst coronavirus outbreak. The wuhan angle is cover, they need the money for military purposes.

Iranian government spokesman stated “Fordow nuclear facility has started the Uranium enrichment at 20% as Rouhani ordered it a few days ago”. This increases the threat of an Israeli/US action greatly. May be a reason the Nimitz’s redeployment was halted.

UAE intelligence agencies have arrested an Iranian squad in Dubai and Abu Dhabi on suspicion of plotting to carry out attacks in the Kingdom against Israelis.

They should have. That is the way a vaccine works. It gives whoever gets it a light case of whatever they are being vaccinated for so their bodies can produce anti bodies. A vaccine does not heal shit. It was not designed to.

Gist of the article was a concern about the preventiveness of the vaccine - not whether it ‘heals’.

T-minus 1 days and counting . . . .

Wuhan Virus -
The FDA joined The WHO and Dr.Fauci in admitting there is a notable risk of false results from the standard PCR-Test used to define whether an individual is a COVID “Case” or not. The reported numbers are so skewed that it can’t be unscrambled. Basically, positive tests as they are counted today do not indicate a “case” of anything. They indicate that viral RNA was found in a nasal swab.

Economists projected that excess deaths resulting from the economic strain of the pandemic will amount to 900,000 over the next 15 years. “We find that increases in unemployment are followed by statistically significant increases in death rates and declines in life-expectancy,” concluded researchers in a new paper circulated Monday by the National Bureau of Economic Research.

Britain has entered its 3d lockdown, this one until mid-February.

2020 Election-
Again, warning that there is a lot of disinformation and misinformation on the interwebs/social media. A lot of big claims being made - please verify from independent sources first.

GA Senate runoffs coming to a head and observers believe it will be very close with a high likelyhood of corruption. Polls indicated no clear leaders. Loss of both seats would make the senate 50/50 with a potential VP Harris providing the 51st vote for democrats agendas.

Project Veritas released a new video today exposing the Executive Director for Atlanta’s Central Outreach and Advocacy Center (COAC), Kimberly Parker, admitting to the organization’s routine practice of registering homeless people to vote using the same address.
“So, the majority of the people we serve don’t have an address, so we allow them to use our address if they register to vote and to get Georgia State ID,” Parker said.

The state of Wisconsin has posted the bill that is to be introduced Thursday morning to decertify the state’s electoral college votes and award them to President Trump. Thursday, barring any surprises on Wednesday, will be a day late and a dollar short.

CW2/Civil Disturbances -
Leftist “Shut Down DC” is actively protesting outside of hotels in the Alexandria VA area where Trump supporters are reportedly staying ahead of the Stop the Steal Rally. Observers note that in leftist chat rooms discussions on violence for Jan 6 are up.
WARNING - Intel still showing that BLM/Antfa is continuing to expand its plans to infiltrate the rally tomorrow with a high probability of violence. Those headed there to DC need to keep their heads on swivels and be in groups, dressed properly for action.

In advance of the Stop the Steal rally, DC has mobilized some of the National Guard to take over some police functions, allowing more cops to be available to deal with any violence. NG will be unarmed and without protective gear. Also of note are the numerous warnings directed towards Pro Trump attendees concerning being armed, while turning a blind eye to the demonstrated armament of the left. Store fronts are boarding up in anticipation of violence.

Oath Keepers, and similar groups, have called for emergency assemblies of militias outside of DC if needed and called upon by the President tomorrow. Like the left, patriot groups are focusing on potential constitutional responses to the Congressional electoral certifications on Wednesday.

The general democrat party may think that they have BLM/Antifa et al on a leash, but their leadership (ideological, and tactical) have other things to say. Recently Noam Chomsky said that government has allowed the concentration of wealth among mega corporations and this will fuel a further class struggle. HIs words indicate that further disruptions will be designed to force a biden administration and congress to the far left. Some of this planned push is indicated by BLM/Antifa preparation for jan 20 (aka J20) as they continue to make logistical plans for travel, food, legal aid, first aid, etc. Fliers for the J20 protest/riots feature profanity laden comments towards biden and others call for vandalization of politicians - democrats included. An example directed against republicans, Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., said late Monday that “Antifa scumbags” arrived at his Washington, D.C., home and threatened his wife and newborn daughter while he was in his home state of Missouri. “They screamed threats, vandalized, and tried to pound open our door,” he said.

BOTTOM LINE - the marxist left plans to continue to push violence as a means to their ends of completely removing the government and replacing it with a radical communist system - no matter who is in the WH or congress. They appear to be planning a continuation of 2020’s level of violence and expanding it.

MY OBSERVATIONS - It is an understatement to say that the next couple weeks will make or break this country. Regardless of the outcome of tomorrows congressional meeting, 2021 will continue to be violent. If biden gets selected, the left will begin a campaign of retribution to destroy any Trump support, feeling free to do so without retribution or punishment from the democrats. The right will see that the country has been corrupted and stolen and that they have no other options but to go to the bullet box because the left has destroyed the soap box and ballot box.

Strategic Developments /Deployments -
USAF reports that it is having trouble keeping the B1 bomber fleet operationally ready. In part, end of life cycle structural concerns (air frame cracks, etc), parts availability and other system problems have caused low numbers of ready aircraft.

Cyber Warfare -
Word has come out that Russian intelligence allegedly used computers within the U.S. to conduct a previously known massive cyberattack against several federal government agencies. By doing so, they bypassed NSA authority and monitoring. NYT reported the extent of the cyberattack now was estimated to have been much larger than originally expected. The Russians accessed about 250 U.S. networks, including Fortune 500 companies and several government agencies such as the Department of Homeland Security, the Treasury Department and the National Nuclear Security Administration.

China -
NYSE has reversed its decision to delist three chinese telecom companies. NYSE spokesperson Farrell Kramer declined to comment on what had changed in relation to compliance with the executive order. But Kramer referred Axios to a stock exchange statement saying that “in light of further consultation” it no longer intends to move forward with the delisting action.” “NYSE Regulation will continue to evaluate the applicability of Executive Order 13959 to these Issuers and their continued listing status.” Yesterday, the Chinese Ministry of Commerce on Saturday reacted to the NYSE’s original announcement by saying it would take “necessary measures” to protect China’s companies, per Reuters.

Iran -
With the anniversary of soleimani’s death in the rear view mirror it doesn’t mean the US and Israel are out of the woods yet. Iran is not dumb enough to plan retribution on a specific, declared date, and has reserved for itself the ‘right’ to pick the time and place of its choosing. I don’t think its likely to do anything as long as Trump is president. The risk skyrockets if / when biden becomes president.

A South Korean destroyer has approached the area where the cargo ship was captured yesterday. It is part of an anti-piracy unit operating in the area. No more details on actions of SK destroyer given “considering they are operating for the safety of our citizens”. South Korean Foreign Ministry says SK vessel detained by Iran is now in Bandar Abbas port. Another SK FM rep is supposed to be enroute to Iran.

Iran is scheduled to conduct a major drone exercise today. Scheduled to last two days.

FOLLOW UP - I mentioned earlier that Iran has announced it is progressing to 20% uranium purification and how this shortens the time to nuclear capable uranium supplies. Previous estimates by authorities was that the the current, max purification level of 5%, it would take about 6 months to attain weapons grade materials. The amount of time to go from 20% to weapons grade is a low as 6 weeks. Many consider Iran’s close work with North Korea may have provided them with the technical know how to speed the development of a device once weapons grade uranium is available. Covert support from Pakistan may also shorten the time frame.

This is pretty much it, gloves either come off, or our country better get ready to slide down the fast slope to communist banana republic.

Wuhan Virus -
Ongoing negative reactions to the vaccines out there continue to come up. Concerns have caused large segments of health providers to turn down the vaccine.

Economy -
Continued mixed signals for 2021. However, the overwhelming sense is that with a biden administration the economy is likely to crater as they remove the incentives used by Trump to grow the economy.

2020 Election-
Again, warning that there is a lot of disinformation and misinformation on the interwebs/social media. A lot of big claims being made - please verify from independent sources first.

All eyes are on congress and Vice President Mike Pence who will make a decision today that will define not only his ‘legacy’ but the future of this country. Associated with this congressional session - Pennsylvania Senate has requested VP Pence to direct a 10 day delay to investigate vote fraud that has been exposed before the congress certifies the EC count.

In anticipation of electoral challenges, Pelosi named four lawmakers to serve as the Democratic leaders in the House ahead of the expected debate Wednesday over the Electoral College results. Pelosi said in a letter to colleagues that Reps. Zoe Lofgren (Calif.), Jamie Raskin (Md.), Adam Schiff (Calif.) and Joe Neguse (Colo.) will lead House Democrat responses.

Republican control of the Senate is on life support. Loffler has lost her bid to an absolute scumbag. Overnight there have been many instances of suspected vote fraud but IMHO, much of this loss was self inflicted by the GA Republican Gov and SoS. Decision desk has called both races for the democrats, creating a 50/50 senate where the president of the senate provides the tie breaker - under biden this would be vp harris.

CW2/Civil Disturbances -
Stashes of bricks, 2x4 and propane tanks (?) allegedly around Freedom Plaza, though some posted photos are from earlier protests. (BLM/Antifa probably forgot that they weren’t fighting the police this time - who wouldn’t use such items, but Patriots who can and WOULD use them against the leftists). Watch your six today! Michael Yon is predicting that violence today is a near certainty. Hard to argue against that.

Last night Pro-Trump supporters took to the streets in an adhoc march of support. BLM/Antifa stayed in the shadows pretty much. Many rumors that Apple shut down the ability to use its map app in the city.

Monday, approximately 15 antifascists and Black Lives Matter (BLM) activists from ShutDownDC assembled at Senator Josh Hawley’s (R-MO) home in northern Virginia last night to demand he drop his contestation of the 2020 election. In a video posted to YouTube, about a dozen activists approached the home and protested from the street. Protests outside the homes of members of Congress and vandalism is a continuing trend. These are currently soft targets and in many areas ruled by blue, civil authorities are lax in protecting them.

Kenosha, Wisconsin - No police officer will be prosecuted in the shooting of Jacob Blake in August 2020. Police and city have enacted measures to try to maintain order. In related, patriot Kyle Rittenhouse has plead Not Guilty to all charges.

Threat observers note Anarchist bloggers are looking to push out from their historic bases like the Bay Area, Portland, Seattle, NYC, etc and establish a stronger presence in smaller cities. They reportedly recognize that their base areas are susceptible to isolation. Their challenge is that smaller cities are more or less in red territory and overcoming red opposition would be very challenging. Intelligencer observers note that historically, Maoist/Anarchist insurgencies have to expand from larger cities to grow stronger. But those situations will face a lot of challenge from the right as the culture of smaller towns are more conservative and it is harder to hide than larger cities. If the BLM/Antifa push out, I expect that they will focus on areas surrounding their power base such as observed last year first.

Domestic Terror -
The FBI is investigating the breach of an air traffic control system after someone broadcast a threat to fly a plane into the US Capitol building on Wednesday as revenge for the killing of Iranian general Qasem Soleimani, according to a source familiar with the probe. Some sources in law enforcement are saying the threat is not credible.

China -
Hong Kong police have arrested dozens of pro-democracy politicians in one of the biggest purges of opposition figures since Beijing imposed a tough new national security law on the city last year. CCP boot is coming down hard on the rights of HK. Now any vote against government policy is considered subversion.

Increasing concerns that China will attempt to seize Taiwan and portions of N India this year under biden. Xi has called for the military to be ready at a moments notice.

Iran -
South Korea will send a delegation to negotiate the release of a ship and its 20-member crew after the vessel was seized by Iranian forces. Iran claims the vessel had violated environmental protocols and was polluting the sea. The real reason is SK is holding 7 Billion in of frozen revenues from oil sales.

I am with you a million per cent on that. It is time for us to shit or get off the pot. There is no reason to wait until January 20, 2021. We already know what is happening. If we don't we are a fool and too stupid to live anyway. We and everyone else is about to see what we are made of.

I normally try maintain a positive outlook here, it is very easy to become pessimistic when examining the trends and transjectories of current events. I can’t maintain that level today, we have entered the dark ages of America. I think the following FR post is a good first cut at what to expect in the next few years in America -
https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/3922300/posts

Globalism / Great Reset -
Biden’s enthronement is a big step forward for the globalist agenda he is on record supporting.

Economy -
Private payrolls in December unexpectedly declined for the first time since April, according to a report Wednesday from payroll processing company ADP. The company, which estimates employment each month prior to the release of the government’s official payroll estimate on the first Friday of each month, said private payrolls fell by 123,000 in December.

U.S. soybean future prices are on the rise amid continued Chinese demand and concerns of tight global supplies, putting markets in a “rationing” mode, according to a Cargill executive. This has been driven by a drought in Argentina which just this week to cut its production forecast by 1 million metric tons, down to 50 million tons. Global famine has been warned since summer due to storms and plagues hitting producing areas of the world.

2020 Election-
Free and fair elections are now a thing of the past. Congress confirmed the fraudulent electoral results. Biden will be sworn in as president on the 20th barring any significant changes. See CW2 for more. The bottom line - the entrance into the capitol gave the left and spineless republicans all the justification to cease the presentation of ANY fraud and to have it on record.

Trump, via another’s twitter account (his twitter days are numbered) as stated there will be a transition of power though he still refuses to concede the election results. Reports of considerable numbers of administration resignations to hit the new today.

Democrats won both senate seats in Georgia - giving them a 51/50 slim majority in the senate and control of both houses of congress and presidency. God help our country.

CW2/Civil Disturbances -
The Stop the Steal Rally started grand and ended in a disaster, politically and optically. The dust is continuing to settle but here is the best summary of the many sources I have been following.
1. At the very least, agent provocateurs initiated the entrance of the Capitol building. Photographic evidence and analysis shows many linked to BLM/Antifa protest/riots. Their actions also encouraged impassioned and angry patriots to move in as well. Levels of ‘destruction’ are, of course, being overstated by the MSM as numerous videos and photos showing the vast majority of the patriots who entered the capitol doing so in a peaceful manner, thanking police and even taking selfies with them.
2. The level of security at the capitol was embarrassing lax. No QRF on station or similar.
3. An USAF vet of 14 years was essential murdered by a blind shot through a window by capitol police or SS. Ashli Babbit may well become know as the first casualty of CW2. Three other deaths were because of “medical emergencies”.
4. 52 were arrested, and 5 guns seized. Of the 52 arrests, 47 were due to violations of the curfew that D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser set on Wednesday.
5. A pipe bomb was found and deactivated at the RNC headquarters in DC. The DNC HQ was also evacuated.
6. Media has jumped all over this, repeating the story that essentially any gathering at any state capitol was an assault on that building. Rallies were held in at least 17 states.
7. The left now feels even more justified in taking a more aggressive stance against Trump and supporters. They are taking actions within congress for the censure and expulsion of the senators and representatives who opposed the EC vote. They have inflated the charges to that of supporting domestic terrorism. Forget about “unity”.
8. Articles of Impeachment as well as 25th amendment efforts were put on afterburners to force the removal of Trump prior to Jan 20th.
9. BLM/Antifa infiltrated as warned (see #1), but I wasn’t expecting the breach of the capitol. I was focusing on physical assaults on Trump supporters following the rally (their MO for the past 5-6 years). The fact that BLM/Antifa instigated #1 shows a great deal of savvy politically and planning at a higher level.

MY OBSERVATION - The left feels more empowered to be even more aggressive towards Trump and the right. Accused of supporting domestic terrorism (ignore the left’s hypocrisy for the moment) they believe they can act an we will be seeing Trump purges in the future. I can see this going as far as using the Patriot Act to shut down any leadership or organizational activity for political opposition to Biden. This is just the tip of the iceberg of the left’s hatred of Trump and the right. Even under 0bama they bragged about databases on the right. Now they’ve bragged about using open source info to locate Trump donors, having spread sheets with donor, supporter and administration officials that could be targeted by many means. This will only escalate potential violence as now the gloves will come off. The left may also start applying the Patriot Act against Patriots. AN IMPORTANT LINE HAS BEEN CROSSED. THE LEFTISTS IN CONGRESS AND THEIR REPUBLICAN QUISLINGS HAVE DECLARED WAR AGAINST 80 MILLION PLUS AMERICANS. We see who are patriots and who are spineless grub worms in DC. But then we knew it all along, but this just broke open the stump and exposed them to daylight.

If Trump is removed from office prior to Jan 20, anger will potentially increase among supporters. The left has drawn first blood in this heating up affair.

Expect also a slew of laws similar to the Intolerable Acts of the revolutionary war, “laws” passed that were meant to punish MA colonists following the Tea Party protest. Demonstrably, the left has done this already, but expect even more now that they control government.

Strategic Developments /Deployments -
Two B52s did an overflight of the Persian Gulf region overnight.

China -
Chinese jets made a record 380 incursions into Taiwan’s defense zone last year, a defense official said Tuesday, as a military-linked think-tank warned tensions were now at their highest since the mid-1990s.
I now expect some kind of military operations against Taiwan by the end of the year now that US deterrence will be removed under Biden.

Israel -
Sudan signed the Abraham Accords, officially agreeing to peace and normalization with Israel, on Wednesday. Sudanese Justice Minister Nasredeen Abdulbari signed the document with US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin present. Mnuchin continued to Israel for “important meetings,” as he characterized them on Twitter.

You left out the fact as follows.

1) There is a guaranteed escalation of patriot protest , violence and civil disobedience. You also left out that Joe Biden will now reap the whirlwind.

Ex post facto analysis:

Four people are dead, one shot, 3 by medical emergencies after being shoved around by police , without cause.
But you’ll hear nothing in the news, Meanwhile thousands looted and committed arson without ANY gun barrels leveled at them in Minneapolis and Seattle.

They were unarmed at the Capitol and simply going into the People’s House.No acts of looting or arson were committed like in Mineapolis and Portland. The Pearl Clutchers, particularly in the Republican Party, were almost dying of apoplexy because the supposedly sacred precincts of Congress used to attempt a usurpation of the President for 4 long years were invaded while the precincts of Minneapolis and Seattle are defined as less sacred? A line was crossed? Buahahahahahahahaha!

Democrat lefty srson, and lootimg violence OK, Republican protest BAD!Shoot the Republicans?

What a laugh? The Democrats CAUSED THIS. But the Republicans are clutching their pearls instead of fighting back.

The pearl clutchers are so upset over the fact that Republicans became slightly “violent” after 4 years of the Swamp trying to usurp a duly elected president of the United States.

Ashli Babbit was shot by an elderly man in a suit, it was video taped. Yet the man remains unidentified? Murder was committed against an unarmed woman squeezing through a barrier in a hallway.

This is not over.

I think that was inferred. This will definitely hit the fan if the left follows up on its threats to persecute/prosecute the right.

This definitely isn't over, but I expect a pause for now.

I do not expect a pause.

The murderer of Ashli Babbit must be brought to justice.

NOW!

And all we have is Republican pearl clutching and resignation while the Democrats cheer?

Its a laugh.

And all that is doing is increasing the escalation.
