“Checkmate”

TMZ obtained federal procurement docs that show the Secret Service has hired a company called Showcall Security Services to help out with the inauguration in January. The company scored a $7.5 million contract for the job ... and it sounds like they’ll be worth every dime of taxpayer money.

Turns out, a division of Showcall, named Checkmate, is what’ll be deployed here — and a glance at their specialties shows why they cost a pretty penny. Checkmate boasts “temporary deployable security assets” that create “hardened perimeters,” which can stop vehicle-borne threats and attempted weapons hand-offs of people who get past checkpoints

Sounds a bit much for an inauguration.

Could the left be planning something more sinister than they are already doing? Like overthrowing the government, setting up a dictatorship? Just wondering about the possibilities.

Who is paying for all of this - the Biden Inauguration fund? I remember they scrutinized every penny Trump spent on his inauguration (maybe they are still looking at it).

Is this on the DC budget? The Federal budget? All those businesses boarded up & fortified in that RSBN video was frightening. In other places like Portland... or when a hurricane hits, the businesses have to pay on their own to board up. Who is paying for all of this?
