I am sending up prayers for this. I think that's more reliable than the Secret Service.

Either it could be a dark weekend, or a celebration.

Depends on which side you're on.

I predict a lot of the first, a little of the second. The rabble has to put on its show. The press won’t admit to any violence so only videos will be useful.

Soros and the Clintons and the Obamas and the Bidens are going to go scorched earth.

I don’t see “dark violence” occurring.

Throughout history most “dark violence” is organized the collectivist state itself, as pretext to grab power and attack political opponents.

Sadly, the USA is now no different.

All of these supposedly “spontaneous” street-actions, from Ferguson to Oakland to George Floyd to BLM riots to J6 happened under leftist-deep-state control and tacit approval of the DOJ/FBI, from Obama/Holder to William Barr and Rod Rosenstein.

These apparatchiks are if nothing cowards - they will certainly not plan a final “hurrah” when Trump will actually, finally have his people running the DOJ and FBI.

Nora ODonnel gave a 360 video tour of where Trump will stand. Where Elon will be seated. I saw it this morning, don't know when first aired.

It really is going to be magnificent! But we could have done without the seating chart from her.

But without explanation, Michelle Obama will not join her husband. Michelle also didn’t appear at the funeral of former President Jimmy Carter, saying she had a “scheduling conflict” while on vacation in Hawaii. What’s with Michelle?

Angling to be the "odd woman out" if there is a devasting decimating attack?

Was there a map of “sloping” roofs?

I can pretty much guarantee that the MSM will characterize Trump’s Inaugural Address as ‘dark’.

” What’s with Michelle? “
There’s a question absolutely no one is asking.

No maps. But she did end the segment telling the audience that the highest point is still the lady on the dome.

I got an invitation from the trump admin to sit/stand in the cold for two days for the party and the inauguration. Likely all republicans within metro distance of dc received the same invite . I was encouraged to take the metro. At age 71 I’m not so sure I want to take the metro and stand in record breaking January cold for hours

I am fasting and praying. Asking any schemes of the enemy would snare those who are attacking. That includes violence, lawfare, lies and slander.

Our daughter will be within the “media compound” on Monday due to her job. We’re trying not to worry overmuch , but as we get closer I will admit I’m concerned. Prayers please.

Note how many dems are “boycotting” the event. (Including Nanzy Pelosi.) Almost as if they had been warned, in advance, to stay away from a mass casualty event.

AOC, Big Mike, Schumer, Schiffty...

They need to be "out of town" to claim to be an "emergency government."

My advice? Stay where it’s warm and comfortable and watch it on TV. I’m 83, in good health, and would probably be there if it was late spring or summer. Besides all hell might break loose, you could find yourself in physical danger, and getting back home could be a nightmare!

I’ve been thinking that very thing for a week. I hope President Trump, his family, his cabinet and other nominees have multiple escape routes mapped out if things get ugly.
