The blowback from family members, close friends, and employers are usually devastating, given the words “liberal” and “tolerance” are like oil and water. Following through takes bravery most can’t understand and/or are not willing to risk, which makes it infinately more admirable, especially when sincere.

On November 29, 2022, Tucker Carlson alerted us to the story of Winston Marshall who decided to jump into the light, paid for it with the loss of his chosen career in the “Mumford & Sons” band he co-founded, and was invited to share his perspectives last month in the halls of the University of Oxford to debate that current topic of great concern: democracy.

On April 25th, Marshall was invited to debate a motion that “This House Believes Populism is a Threat to Democracy”.

…
Also invited was Democrat Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi. As her remarks, based on the premise that “populism is a threat to democracy due to voters being manipulated” are familiar on this side of the pond, you can view her presentation here.

Like most liberal Democrats, she did break courtesy norms and interrupted Marshall when he made logical points, simply because he struck uncomfortable nerves Pelosi just couldn’t let go countered. For that reason, the legacy media didn’t let the American people know of this event and witness her humiliation in real time.

Logic is easier to censor than spin.

Harvard and UPenn donors are furious over Israel statements
Another big donor cuts ties with an Ivy League school for its ‘misguided moral compass’
Harvard letter: Law students who took anti-Israel stance lose job offers
NYU law student has job offer withdrawn after posting anti-Israel message
3 law students from Harvard, Columbia lost job offers over Israel-Hamas war statements

There comes a time when these students should be considered grownups and held to a standard that involves being accountable for actions.

A question that’s yet to be asked is where was all this outrage over the stance of impressionable (and wrong) college students while they were eagerly protesting on behalf of the fraud that was Black Lives Matter? Not to equate the barbaric loss of life in Israel at the hands of Hamas to what happened here in the United States alone, but why were the adults with checkbooks silent for the entire Summer of 2020?

It’s not like the BLM riots were “mostly peaceful” and relatively harmless. In fact, the aftermath still plagues the United States to this day with ongoing deadly consequences.

Remember “Defund the Police” for starters?

More than 2,000 law enforcement officers were injured in the first weeks of protests over the summer following the in-custody death of George Floyd, according to a report from the Major Cities Chiefs Association.
— Police Magazine, 12/3/20

The language in the streets and on many college campuses called for the killing of police officers and their “Pigs in a Blanket: Fry ’em Like Bacon” fantasies were met.

According to organizations that track violence against police, 56 officers have been killed by gunfire this year — 14% more than this time last year and about 45% ahead of 2020’s pace. While the figures include a few officers killed by accidental gunfire, the number of ambushes in which police were injured or killed in surprise attacks with little chance to defend themselves has soared since 2020 and accounts for nearly half the officers killed this year.
— Associated Press, 10/15/22

One doesn’t have to be an Ivy League college student to know if you have fewer police, you have more crime. While that may not immediately affect millionaires and billionaires who live in protected enclaves, the rest of the country continues to suffer the ramifications.

At least 11 Americans have been killed while participating in political demonstrations this year and another 14 have died in other incidents linked to political unrest, according to new data from a non-profit monitoring political unrest in the United States.
— The Guardian, 10/31/20

The “mostly peaceful” protest came with a hefty price tag.

The protests that took place in 140 U.S. cities this spring were mostly peaceful, but the arson, vandalism and looting that did occur will result in at least $1 billion to $2 billion of paid insurance claims.
— Axios, 9/16/20

We’re not talking about young people making foolish, harmless statements. In all too many cases, their words and deeds harmed the very people they claimed to be advocating. Some of the white sympathizers even justified the looting and burning of black-owned businesses.

At a recent antifa gathering in Portland, Ore., protesters shared literature arguing for the righteousness of property destruction with titles like “Why Break Windows.” In a media critique earlier this year published on the website Refinery29, Britni de la Cretaz wrote:

“Putting the focus on stealing objects from a store (during a pandemic, no less!) rather than on the injustice behind the looting, the horrific loss of life and racial violence that Black folks live with every day, is sending the message that property matters more than people. It just demonstrates the way that white supremacy sees more value in a TV set than in the life of a Black man.”
— New York Times, 11/9/20

Whether we’re talking Antifa or Britnies, black businesses were considered acceptable collateral damage by young, white so-called activists who were clearly narcissists in need of inclusion in a movement they didn’t create. Many of these young people were either in college or employed.

Where were the billionaire donors while college students nationwide were promoting and participating in activities that resulted in billions of dollars of public and private property damage, much of it in black neighborhoods? Where were the billionaire donors while college students nationwide were promoting the misguided “Defund the Police” concept that have made neighborhoods unsafe, now including the affluent ones? Where were the billionaire donors while college students nationwide were calling for the killing of police offices and those assassinations continue to this day resulting in record-low officer retention and recruitment?

There appears to be few, if any, reports of outraged college donors withdrawing job offers or firing those who may have been involved in disruptive street protests and closures or participation in protesting in black neighborhoods where the looting and burning of businesses was prevalent.

Some of these guilt-assuaged billionaire donors may have embraced the trendy-yet-toxic side effect of the BLM riots: Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.

The impact of the Black Lives Matter movement in corporate America is palpable and the business justification for having meaningful diversity and inclusion programs in the workplace is proven. Diverse businesses are better places to work; they make better decisions, have a more positive profile in the community and earn greater respect in the marketplace. These and other factors generally result in greater financial returns.

So how can you re-define or invigorate diversity and inclusion initiatives in your business?
— Human Resource Executive, 10/2/20

DEI infected almost every entity possible and (as with most liberal experiments) a subsequent underbelly has been exposed.

As a black woman, I was the perfect person for the job — on paper. Yet I made the mistake of trying to create an authentically inclusive learning environment for everyone, including Jewish students.

I saw antisemitism on a weekly basis in my two years as a faculty “diversity, equity and inclusion” director. In fact, I can safely say that toxic DEI ideology deliberately stokes hatred toward Israel and the Jewish people.
— New York Post, 10/18/23

DEI is going to be going away much quicker than the drips over the last year. As DEI is antisemitic, it’s got to go and its removal you know will be tied to any future college donations.

The Hamas massacre in Israel deserved the near-universal condemnation it’s received from those with normal brains. The case could be made that all of the campus Jew-hate delusion the world it witnessing now could have been nipped in the bud years ago had the wallets to these colleges been closed shut.

What’s sad is that an outrage that took place halfway around the world has gotten the attention of the donor class. The outrage of death and destruction that occurred in this country, and the ramifications, since is still pending (if realized at all) from the triggered rich.

UPDATE

During the October 20 episode of “Real Time with Bill Maher”, he piled-on… sort of.

Seeing how he almost always has to reach into his default bash-Republicans mode, Maher took time near the end of his closing monologue to remind us that many of the stoopids who attended Ivy League colleges hold federal offices and he pointed squarely at the GOP. Unlike Maher, let’s not conveniently give Democrat Ivy League alumni like Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Bill Clinton, Al Gore, Hillary Clinton, Elizabeth Warren, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Dick Durbin, Steny Hoyer, John Kerry, Eric Holder, Jack Lew, and Valerie Jarrett a pass.

Look at how much damage they’ve done “transforming” America.

First, a few notable quotes from the “Soul of the Nation” speech, which was a sorry exercise in projection for Trump-hating dimwits who watch CNN, MSNBC and subscribe to the New York Times and Washington Post.

They [MAGA Republicans] refuse to accept the results of a free election. And they’re working right now, as I speak, in state after state to give power to decide elections in America to partisans and cronies, empowering election deniers to undermine democracy itself.
— Joe Biden, 9/1/22

It all depends if previous elections have truly been “free” from undo interference.

Yep, it was the most secure election in history. Except for that Russian interference in both 2016 and 2020. Unfortunately, one accusation turned out to be a Hillary Clinton/DNC dirty trick and the other turned out be a cover story to mask an embarrassment to the Democrat candidate so patterns need be taken into account.

Back to Biden’s rantings, when it comes to repeatedly refusing to accept the results of a free and fair election, Donald Trump and his supporters need to get to the back of the line.

9/26/19: Hillary Clinton: Trump is an ‘illegitimate president’

In 2000, Al Gore (D) and his fellows contested the results all the way to the Supreme Court before conceding. And, of course, there’s 2016. How many leftists have there been who still don’t accept the defeat of Hillary Clinton? Good grief! After all this time, Hillary herself still hasn’t accepted the outcome. In fact, Hillary Clinton is the only person I’ve heard to openly advocate for a losing presidential candidate to not accept the election results. Hillary’s exact words were, “Joe Biden should not concede [the election] under any circumstances … he will win if we don’t give an inch…”
— Baltimore Sun, 10/27/20

But wait; there’s more!

5/31/19: Why Stacey Abrams Is Still Saying She Won
5/9/22: Biden’s New Press Secretary Is A ‘Stolen Election’ Conspiracy Theorist Who Called Trump An ‘Illegitimate President’

In fact, Democrats routinely attempt to decertify Republican president-elects which ironically brings us back to Biden’s words in Philadelphia where he said, “Democracy cannot survive when one side believes there are only two outcomes to an election: either they win or they were cheated.”

Projection.

1/6/17 House Democrats fail to muster support to challenge Trump’s Electoral College win

It was a rather disorganized and pitiful display.

Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee said in a phone interview that she as many as 10 colleagues plan to challenge the validity of electoral votes in multiple states, where she argued voter suppression tactics may have tainted the outcome. The maneuver to impede Trump’s election also faces another potentially crippling problem: challenges to electoral votes require the support of at least one member of both House and the Senate. So far, Jackson Lee said, no senators have stepped forward to join the effort.
— Politico, 1/6/17

This was also standard operation procedure for the Democrats.

Democrats Objected to Electoral Vote Certification in 2000, 2004, 2016

There are dozens of instances and venues where Democrats have refused to accept their respective election defeats. Nothing from Joe Biden or Karine Jean-Pierre on that and there are Democrats who are doing all possible to work with compliant Democrat state legislatures to change voting rules, in some cases, months before an election.

5/9/22: Eric Holder on gerrymandering: “Republicans have to cheat in order to win” elections

Of course when Democrats do it, it’s called “redistricting”. Meanwhile, when it comes to the outrageous and unfounded criticism of the accuracy of voting machines…

Marc Elias, a prominent Democratic election attorney, argued in a court filing this week that faulty voting machines may have misread thousands of votes in a House election in upstate New York, a claim similar to the debunked allegation some Republicans pushed regarding the 2020 presidential election.
— Daily Caller, 2/5/21

If it helps Democrats defeat Republicans, they will create new illusions on the “free and fair” election that ultimately benefits them.

Ranked-choice voting
Voters rank candidates in order of preference. If a candidate receives more than 50% of first-place votes after the first tabulation, then they win, but if there is no majority winner, then the candidate with the fewest votes is eliminated.  In the next tabulation, voters who chose the eliminated candidate as their top pick will have their votes go to their second-place pick. This process is repeated until one candidate receives a majority of the votes.
— Fox News, 9/1/22

Watch how quickly the left will call ranked-choice voting unconstitutional once their candidates lose in this system.

Biden rambled on.

They promote authoritarian leaders, and they fan the flames of political violence that are a threat to our personal rights, to the pursuit of justice, to the rule of law, to the very soul of this country. They look at the mob that stormed the United States Capitol on January 6th — brutally attacking law enforcement — not as insurrectionists who placed a dagger to the throat of our democracy, but they look at them as patriots.

Democrats conveniently dismiss any attempt to compare the January 6 foolishness to the liberal Democrat 2020 “Summer of Love” Black Lives Matter/Antifa rioting that occurred in hundreds of American cities and cost many lost enforcement personnel and citizens their lives, not to mention billions in private and public property damage.

But the takeover of a “People’s House” didn’t occur for the first time ever in Washington, D.C. after the 2020 election. Leftists have shot up and bombed the Capitol before, but let’s not get all distracted by the past. Actually, the takeover of a legislature building is a rather common occurrence when Dems don’t get their way, want something, and most of the time without a permit.

Liberal Democrats are encouraged and allowed to occupy government spaces but when the right protests, Democrats call the cops to have the gathering declared an “unlawful assembly”.

And they see their MAGA failure to stop a peaceful transfer of power after the 2020 election as preparation for the 2022 and 2024 elections.

Democrats denied Republicans the opportunity to celebrate Inauguration Day 2017 and Biden will never mention the attempted assassination of Republicans at a baseball practice in Alexandria, Virginia by a Bernie Sanders supporter. Political violence has been extremely rare on the right and routine from the left.

They tried everything last time to nullify the votes of 81 million people. This time, they’re determined to succeed in thwarting the will of the people. I will not stand by and watch — I will not — the will of the American people be overturned by wild conspiracy theories and baseless, evidence-free claims of fraud. 
— Joe Biden, 9/1/22

Before we blindly agree that the 2020 election was on the up-and-up just because they told us so, don’t forget the growing number of instances where we were told to accept something the left and their media insisted was truth that had to be acted on just to find out it was either very wrong or an intentional lie. Remember those in the Trump administration and/or supporters who’ve been arrested (and in some cases financially ruined defending themselves against federal law enforcement) while Democrats who have genuinely broken the law get the customary wrist slap if any punishment at all.

Seeing how the United States is a constitutional republic, the only threat to “democracy” is the fact that most of the word Democrat is in it. Biden’s vindictive policies have been so destructive to Americans, he’s doing all he can to keep what semblance of a base he has left because when Republicans take the majority in 2022 and Trump gets back in the White House in 2025, there will be a reckoning.

It will be very ugly and well-deserved.

The People never got to see what a real “mass rebellion” in the United States would look like, and it wasn’t because the plot was foiled by diligent law enforcement. It failed because on Election Night 2020, it was no longer needed.

The left got their way.

Donald Trump was “defeated”.

Some of us are looking forward to seeing the Zoom video of conservatives plotting to overthrow “democracy” on January 6, 2021. Given all we’ve been told about those who’ve been locked up to date, there had to have been coordination that would bolster the premise of an “insurrection”.

Given the partisan nature of the hearings-to-come, we also understand there will never be a “November 3rd” commission on Capitol Hill screening video of liberals in 2020, not only preparing for deadly violence in the street, but plotting to attack police stations and physically taking over the federal bureaucracy IF Donald Trump was successful in winning a second term.

Businesses and retailers across the country have begun boarding up their storefront windows and taking other security measures in anticipation of potential unrest on or around Election Day as many cities remain on edge following a summer of widespread riots and mayhem. DC Metro Police Chief Peter Newsham said Thursday there were no “credible threats right now of violence,” but said a number of groups had applied for permits to conduct large demonstrations and the entire police department would be working on Election Day.
— Fox Business, 11/1/20

Either Chief Newsham was incompetent or he was lying. Anyone watching the videos of liberal organizing sessions knew these people weren’t just venting. These people were serious and it’s a sad state of affairs if the DC Police was unaware of ShutdownDC preparation, the Capitol Hill Police was unaware that overpaid sore-loser federal agency employees were planning to forcibly take over government buildings, not to mention the billions of dollars in damage nationwide that was inevitable if Sunrise Movement, Antifa and Black Lives Matter rioters were given a reason to get out of bed before 1pm. As seen in the video above, these people were okay with their hissy fits possibly costing lives.

Rebellion or insurrection
Whoever incites, sets on foot, assists, or engages in any rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States or the laws thereof, or gives aid or comfort thereto, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.
— 18 US Code §2383

What the left was planning for Election Night 2020 would have been the real deal of an “insurrection”. The only reason politicians made a big deal about January 6th is because it was the first and only instance of violence they could point to in over a dozen years of Tea Party and Trump rallies NOT initiated by liberal counter-protesters. One day we’ll hopefully find out if #J6 was another fiasco brought to you by the same feds who concocted the Whitmer “kidnapping”.

It’s nice to know our public officials are fair and the attempted coup, to be set in motion on November 3, 2020, was dealt with accordingly….

If the media and clueless Republicans were to present planning video for a Capitol Hill takeover by the left to the American people, the January 6 riot would look like a joke in comparison.

Not like these genuine insurrectionists wouldn’t revive their plan for a 2024 election outcome that won’t meet their approval.

And as far as those federal employees who’d eagerly participate, the rationale for Schedule F is justified yet again!

Those of us who’ve attended Tea Party rallies since 2009 have observed consistencies. They were mostly attended by older demographics including senior citizen retirees and children; hardly the make up of the violent prone. Police were on scene as is the custom with any large gathering and more times then not, they were chillin’ near their cars, smiling and being thanked by rally-goers for their time and service.

NONE of them were disruptive, destructive or violent.

While there have been a few incidents that the media tied to the Team Party, Tea Party rallies have not (as far as I can tell) been involved with any arrests, any allegations of violence or any run-ins with law enforcement.

A claim liberal events can’t.

The Occupy movement has not been so lucky. The number of arrests made at Occupy movements seems to be near 2,500 and still growing. There have been many times when police officials felt compelled to react and control the crowd (most notably in Oakland, as one HeadCount blogger has discussed). Perhaps worst of all, there have even been reports of sexual assault at Occupy events.
— Headcount.org

Meanwhile….

At least 5,513 Black Lives Matter protests and other demonstrations have been held in the past 2,398 days.
— elephrame.com

And there’s a distinct difference between BLM protests and Tea Party/conservative rallies.

The Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED) analyzed more than 7,750 Black Lives Matter demonstrations in all 50 states and Washington D.C. that took place in the wake of George Floyd’s death between May 26 and August 22.

Their report states that more than 2,400 locations reported peaceful protests, while fewer than 220 reported “violent demonstrations.” The authors define violent demonstrations as including “acts targeting other individuals, property, businesses, other rioting groups or armed actors.” Their definition includes anything from “fighting back against police” to vandalism, property destruction looting, road-blocking using barricades, burning tires or other materials”, the report says.
— Time Magazine, 9/5/20

Using the convenient caveat to distinguish the obvious, “mostly peaceful” was deployed by Democrats and their activist media to diminish the wanton disruption, vandalism, damage, injury and death caused almost every time they congregate.

ALL of the above were liberal Democrat riots; not ONE was a conservative, Republican event. In fact, conservatives have the reputation of leaving any area where they’ve gathered cleaner than when they first arrived. Liberal Democrats are the exact opposite.

However, the only instances where violence did occur at Trump rallies was when liberals infiltrated with one sole purpose: to create mayhem, violence and with the gleeful assistance of the media, smear. When the 2016 election produced a result they didn’t like, liberal Democrats took to the streets and the rest is what we’ve come accustomed to.

For the third night in a row, anti-Donald Trump demonstrators took to the streets in several big cities and on college campuses across the United States. About 4,000 protesters assembled downtown Portland late Thursday chanting “we reject the president-elect!” the Associated Press reported. Some among the crowd vandalized 19 cars at a dealership in Northeast Portland, according to a sales manager, Oregonlive.com reports.

The protest was mostly peaceful until demonstrators met with an anarchist group, after which demonstrators vandalized buildings, kicked cars and knocked out power, KGW-TV reported. On Twitter, Portland police said many protesters were “trying to get anarchist groups to stop destroying property” and that “anarchists” were refusing to do so. Demonstrators repeatedly chanted “peaceful protest.”
— USA Today, 11/11/16

It defies logic that there could be no “arrests, any allegations of violence or any run-ins with law enforcement” when Republicans gathered from 2009 through 2021 but one sunny Wednesday in January, Trump supporters decided to run amok and invade the U.S. Capitol in what opportunist Democrats call an “insurrection”. The media selectively turned the normal political speech (how many political commercials do you remember where a candidate says he or she will “fight” for you?) into hate speech.

Trump’s campaign rallies have always been incubation grounds for violence, sites where Trump spewed hate speech that encouraged physical harm against dissenters. And as president, he has used his platform to encourage violence against American citizens, whether through the police and National Guard or militia groups — unless those citizens are his supporters.
— Vox, 1/9/21

Of course, when liberals use violent rhetoric after their supporters commit violent acts, the media looked the other way.

The context is obvious, but imagine where the leftist media would go with such a montage if this were Republicans.

As Biden’s election caused a disruption in their planned disruptions, a January 6 pivot became their next cause….

As it’s well documented that conservatives, Republicans and/or Trump supporters are not violence prone and that liberals infiltrate what may have been initially intended to be peaceful rallies and turn them violent and destructive, they plotted before the 2020 election to create “the post-election phase in the streets”.

It’s not beyond sensibilities to assume these people saw the January 6 Trump rally as an opportunity to not only bring on their signature violence but to have that violence blamed on his supporters for future marginalization. It’s just a question who knew what was going to happen and how much blame would be assessed.

There is significant evidence beginning to emerge of three things. One, that the Capitol Police, the NYPD, the FBI all had prior warning there was going to be an attack on the Capitol. How did the leaders of Congress react to this intel? Did it get to them? Did Nancy Pelosi know?

Secondly, if this was a planned attack, you can’t be a president of the United States being accused of inciting a spontaneous attack when it was planned days before. From an impeachment perspective and a factual security perspective, we’re learning things and we shouldn’t be in the posture of making final assignments of blame until we know what the facts are.
— John Solomon, 1/13/21

Again based on the documented reputation of conservative and Republican activists, the January 6 Capitol riot was 100% uncharacteristic of President Trump’s supporters and 100% characteristic when liberal Democrats assemble. Rioting and committing random acts of violence and destruction are things conservatives have never done prior to. It IS what Democrats do almost every time they “peacefully protest” in the streets or storm state houses.

But looking into past patterns and practices just takes too much work for the media and anyone with a modicum of common sense.

A Texas teenager who alerted federal authorities about his father’s alleged role in the Jan. 6 siege on the U.S. Capitol says he wants others to know that “it’s OK to come forward. I want people to know how awful this political strain can be on certain people,” Jackson Reffitt, 18, told ABC News’ T.J. Holmes in an interview airing Tuesday on “Good Morning America.”

The Federal Bureau of Investigation arrested Jackson’s father, Guy Reffitt, at their home in Wylie, Texas, northeast of Dallas, on Jan. 15. He is accused of unlawful entry on Capitol grounds and obstruction of justice. Jackson Reffitt told ABC News that he is now in hiding and has cut ties with his family, who he said is upset with him for calling the FBI tip line weeks before the Capitol siege to alert them about his father.
— ABC News, 1/26/21

This is not a new phenomenon in conjunction with that event….

A daughter has publicly shamed her own mother for being punched in the face during a violent encounter at a Pro-Trump protest in Washington D.C on Wednesday. Helena Duke, 18, identified her mom in viral video footage from a fight which broke out near the Capitol during the insurrection, telling Newsweek she was “disappointed to be related to her”.

“Hi mom remember the time you told me I shouldn’t go to BLM protests bc they could get violent … this you?,” Helena Duke wrote on Twitter in response to the video.
— New York Post, 1/8/21

So, what are the ramifications for turning in a parent? Well, there are short-term default mechanisms available.

It kinda’ makes one wonder where this civic obligation was last summer when “mostly peaceful” riots resulted in billions in damage, injuries and death, and thanks to dozens of online pictures and video, identities had to have been known?

As said in 2003 during my second television program, the ONLY thing we legally owe our children is food, clothing and shelter. From conception through the 18th birthday, the monetary outlays given to children out of love could be in the hundreds of thousands of dollars if one was to also add gifts and entertainment activities to that amount.

But because of what children are taught in schools (behind the parents’ back), they now believe they are morally obligated to subject their parents to arrest, fines and legal bills just because they support a political movement the kid does not.

This is nothing new.

The Nazi Party knew that families — private, cohesive groups not usually under political sway — were an obstacle to their goals. The Hitler Youth was a way to get Hitler’s ideology into the family unit, and some members of the Hitler Youth even denounced their parents when they behaved in ways not approved of by the Reich.
— How the Hitler Youth Turned a Generation of Kids Into Nazis

These shortsighted narcissists should be very careful.

How many times could a parent have called the cops on their children after finding out they had a couple beers with their friends, despite being under the legal drinking age? How many times could a parent have called the cops on their children after finding out they smoked some weed?

If these self-righteous children believe they’re obligated to report their parents to law enforcement for political and/or social transgressions, there are hundreds, if not thousands of parents who now MUST call the cops when they find out their spawn have been coordinating with any “Occupy”, “social justice” group and the likes of Antifa. They should immediately call the cops when they see suspect black clothing and facial coverings in their kids’ closet, they were out when traffic was disrupted, local monuments were toppled, storefronts were smashed and looted, buildings set on fire, police officers attacked and injured, and innocent bystanders were murdered in cold blood.

Yes, there is a legal obligation to report crimes you know were committed. But there are also laws to protect family members from having to testify against each other. That’s probably one reason we don’t currently have hundreds of children and young adults facing local, state, and federal charges for everything from vandalism to murder. Parents haven’t ratted out their kids out of love. But love, as we all know, must be a two-way street and if it isn’t, all bets are off.

Many parents have more than enough probable cause to have their children arrested for participation in “peaceful protests” that are intentionally hijacked and turned into opportunities for willful mayhem.

Out of the over 120 Tea Party and Trump rallies held since the late 90’s, the Capitol Hill “riot” was one of only a few times where infiltrators turned the event from its usual peaceful into something else. Black Lives Matter, ShutDown, Occupy, Antifa gatherings almost always end the same way: damage, injury, and sometimes death and the participants are mostly young adults living at home.

Tell your child if he or she will call the cops on them, they’re no longer welcome in your home and you’ll throw out everything they personally paid for out in the street. That should fit into a backpack. If under 18, see how they like foster homes.

Parents should exercise their civic duty because they can be held legally liable if they know their nice children are participating in unlawful behavior and say nothing. If enough parents turn in these wayward children, neither GoFundMe donors or activists will be able to keep up with the bail needed to keep their sorry asses out of jail.

If children want to rat on their parents for social media brownie points, fine. But these things can go both ways and maybe, from now on, they should.

During the summer of 2020, we were all subjected to leftist disruption of our freedom of movement on American streets and highways, the wanton desecration and/or removal of monuments, burning and looting of stores, vandalism of private businesses and public buildings, takeover of whole neighborhoods by masked terrorists, and a call by elected Democrats to defund law enforcement. The result was billions of dollars in damage and hundreds of injuries and dozens of unnecessary deaths.

On Tuesday, November 3, 2020, Laura and I again went to Washington, D.C. to hopefully enjoy the reelection of President Trump. However, the atmosphere was totally different.

The White House was surrounded by riot fencing. Businesses had closed early and were boarded up. Restaurants were mostly closed. With the exception of police cars periodically racing by, the streets had an empty, apocalyptic air. It was clear to all what was most likely to happen should Joe Biden be declared the loser and the city had, for the most part, prepared for the worse and with good reason.

In consuming the latest condemnation of the events at the Capitol on January 6th, it’s amazing to hear the sanctimonious media, self-serving politicians and federal officials lecture Trump supporters about civility. While the “takeover” of the Capitol was uncharacteristic of any Republican rally to date, watching the political elite cower in fear was quite ironic.

Some of them personally experienced what millions of citizens endure on a near-daily basis in crime-ridden Democrat neighborhoods where defunding the police has been proudly proposed and implemented. While now accusing President Trump of inciting “insurrection” on an hourly basis since January 6th, most media outlets WILL NOT air what he actually said at the end of his rally speech.

Based on recent events, it could be argued that had Joe Biden been declared the loser on Election Night 2020, the leftist Democrats and their Antifa sympathizers would still be vandalizing, looting, burning, attacking the police and hundreds of Americans would be the political, collateral damage. Inauguration Day would be a crescendo many would be fearing.

Something the righteous political class conveniently leave out is despite the events of Wednesday on the Hill, Trump supporters (who rightly contend the election was stolen) have yet to vandalize, loot, burn, attack the police, and nationally no one has been injured or killed during “peaceful protests”.

Had Donald Trump been declared the rightful winner of the 2020 presidential election, America would be on fire, the worst would be yet to come, and those now demonizing Trump supporters would be justifying the leftist carnage.

So spare us the sanctimonious indignation.

This week, 82 years ago, Kristallnacht happened. It was the Nazis’ warning shot across the bow of our human civilization that led to genocide against a whole identity. And, in that tower of burning books, it led to an attack on fact, knowledge, history and truth.

While much of the smashing, burning, and looting is all too familiar nowadays, thanks to those most-aligned with the Democrat Party, exactly what has Donald Trump done to be linked with Kristallnacht?

After four years of a modern-day assault on those same values by Donald Trump, the Biden/Harris team pledges a return to norms, including the truth. And, every day, Joe Biden makes presidential announcements about good governance and the health and security of the American people, while the great brooding figure of his defeated opponent rages, conducting purges of perceived enemies and preventing a transition.

I defy Christiane Amanpour to show ONE example of Trump supporters gathering, smashing, burning and looting at any one of their events over the last five-plus years? Seriously, thanks to Black Lives Matter and Antifa, every night is a potential Kristallnacht.

Then again, when we’re dealing with a media full of arrogants who believe we MUST believe whatever they say because they said it, we know she’ll never feel any obligation to be intellectually honest.

No democracy can survive unless the majority of people at least accept the same set of facts.

Translation: We, the media, said it. You MUST believe what we tell you.

And so here are some. According to a Reuters poll, nearly 80 percent of the American people, Republicans and Democrats, accept the result of the 2020 election. Yes, so far, Trump has won 72 million votes to Biden’s 77 million, but, no, there have been no serious protests on the streets contesting the result, while secretaries of state around the nation, Republican and Democrat, say there has been no meaningful fraud, and they have found nothing that would overturn the result.

There was no violence in the streets (yet) because Donald Trump wasn’t announced the winner which would have brought another leftist Kristallnacht wave across the nation. Conservatives, as a practice, don’t smash, burn and loot. This is purely a Democrat-tolerated “mostly peaceful” thing.

Conveniently, Reuters provides no link in their poll announcement so we’re to take them at their word as to the results.

NEW YORK (Reuters) – Nearly 80% of Americans, including more than half of Republicans, recognize President-elect Joe Biden as the winner of the Nov. 3 election after most media organizations called the race for the Democrat based on his leads in critical battleground states, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll.
— Reuters, 11/10/20

However, based on past industry practices, one can rightly assume more Democrats and Independents were polled than Republicans, IF… the poll was really taken at all. Taking the media at their word always leaves room for justified skepticism.

Given the massive Trump crowds during both presidential elections, the 73-plus million* votes President Trump received in 2020, the clear and massive vote fraud committed that the media refuses to report, one has to wonder who these “half of Republicans” who recognize “President-elect Joe Biden” are. Aside from the self-important, attention-seeking Never Trumpers, we know of no Republican who will recognize the legitimacy of a President Biden.

If that’s as dangerous as Amanpour claims, where the hell was she during the four years of applauded #Resist messaging coming from Hillary Clinton on down? Wherever she was, few really watches or cares what Christiane Amanpour has to say, which makes her provocative screams for attention and relevance even more reckless.

After a summer of property vandalism and damage, arson, looting, injuries and death of law enforcement and the public at the hands of Black Lives Matter activists, Antifa punks, and pissed off millennials, there has yet to be one “peaceful protest” turned violent that was instigated by Trump-supporting Republicans.

It would be naive to assume a Biden defeat would not result in nights and days of anything other than “mostly peaceful”.

Some of these concerns about violence may also connect to the small but not insignificant number of people who said they may not to accept the election results. Almost 14% of those polled said that they were not prepared to accept the election results if Trump wins. As for Trump supporters, 10% said that they would not accept the results if Biden won.
— Boston Herald, 10/28/20

Sorry, if 14% are not “prepared to accept the election results if Trump wins”, just what are they prepared to do about it?

It’s as if President Trump sees this for what it is and after four years of #swamp meddling from those within the federal governemt, enough was enough.

President Trump on Wednesday signed an executive order creating a new classification of “policy-making” federal employees that could strip swaths of the federal workforce of civil service protections just before the next president is sworn into office. But federal employee groups and government observers described the executive order as a “stunning” attempt to politicize the civil service and undermine more than a century of laws aimed at preventing corruption and cronyism in the federal government.
— Government Executive, 10/22/20

Coming from clearly partisan federal employees who routinely discriminate (or worse) against Republicans, the irony is hilarious.

Knowing conservatives as we do, should Joe Biden win, there will be disappointment and anger but chances are very slim it will result in provocative violence and destruction. It’s not the primary instinct of conservatives to take to the streets if something happens that pisses them off.

Given how they take to the streets in Third World frenzies when they win, a loser left on the other hand, is a whole other scenario and there will be more involved than we can count.

Those who disrupt know their options are wide open.

Mayor Muriel Bowser said she had not decided whether to use National Guard troops for election-related violence, though some troops still remain activated amid the coronavirus pandemic.
— Fox Business, 11/1/20

Had ONE “peaceful protest”-turned violent been a Republican creation, it would have been labeled as such repeatedly by the media. This has not been the case as any violence involving conservatives during the summer of rioting has been defensive.

Should Biden lose, there will be mayhem in the streets. As much as the media will try and insulate the destruction, these will be Democrat-supporters doing the damage. The video we’ll see on social media of attacks on police, looting of stores and vandalism of businesses will be Democrat constituents. They will not be “mostly peaceful” and what we’ll see are not things “all sides” are doing.

Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer (D) was repeatedly criticized for overstepping her Constitutional authority in her response to the Coronavirus pandemic. A third of Michigan COVID-19 deaths were in nursing homes where her policies allowed the possibly infected access to residents. She was publicly (and peacefully) protested and it made national news. A Change.org petition, hardly a tool of conservatives for instituting social media pressure, was created to initiate a recall against her. It garnered “thousands” of signatures. The recall effort was approved by the Michigan Board Of Canvassers. Her husband was busted trying to get a head-of-line privilege and Gretchen Whitmer blew it off as a “joke”. The Michigan Supreme Court recently ruled her COVID-19 emergency actions were unconstitutional.

Her political career was clearly falling to pieces all around her despite her support in “polls”.

Now, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer was a potential kidnap target…?

Unless you’re a hardcore liberal Democrat, this is a hard one to swallow but the drama queen was on full display. At the press conference, Whitmer mentioned the “federal charges against thirteen members of two militia groups who were preparing to kidnap and possibly kill me.”

The FBI monitored all aspects of the conspiracy to kidnap Whitmer. The group’s efforts to procure gear and weapons were conducted with law enforcement’s active involvement. There was never any chance that the conspirators could pull off their crime, and Whitmer was in no real danger.
— Reason, 10/9/20

According to those investigating, the “militia” (dog whistle for “right wing”) had a tad amount of animus against law enforcement….

The militia group had already been brought to the attention of the FBI by a local police department in March 2020, when members of the militia group were attempting to obtain the addresses of local law-enforcement officers. At the time, the FBI interviewed a member of the militia group who was concerned about the group’s plans to target and kill police officers, and that person agreed to become a CHS (confidential human source).
— DOJ criminal complaint

Hardly a position of conservatives. Brandon Caserta, one of the kidnap plot “ringleaders” is NOT a supporter of President Trump, has created videos of himself with anarchist flag in the background, and if anything, appears more in line with left wing Antifa and Black Lives Matter than anyone else.

One of alleged plotters, 23-year-old Daniel Harris, attended a Black Lives Matter protest in June, telling the Oakland County Times he was upset about the killing of George Floyd and police violence. Parker Douglas, a lawyer for Harris, said his client was a former Marine who lived at home with his parents and did construction work.
— Washington Post, 10/9/20

Remember the New Zealand shooter who we were all told was a “white supremacist” Trump supporter while the media suppressed his “manifesto” where he clearly wrote he was not? Media lies have become an expected norm.

It wouldn’t be hard for sympathetic DOJ agents to infiltrate and set some of these morons up in a plot to make the governor out to be a political victim because the pandemic will end, Whitmer will have to eventually face the voters, and her path to reelection will be highly problematic.

We all know that some politicians will create a controversy to divert attention away from their personal scandals, especially when a friendly media has their back. It’s not to find patsies. Seriously, how hard would it be for an embedded agent to find potentially violent #BLM or Antifa members and walk them from stated intent through prosecution, especially if those agents were tipped of by a government official?
