Are The Democrats Teeing-Up Post-Election Day CHAOS?
Did the Left reveal its true intentions concerning its focus on the Post Office "Crisis," its desire for very "flexible" mail-in ballot standards, and the letter Democratic Reps. Elissa Slotkin of Michigan and Mikie Sherrill of New Jersey wrote to General Milley regarding the Pentagon's position if "Trump does not accept the election results"...

“military style gear” can be bought on any website or any army navy type place. Rogue members of the military are a reach as one can buy a rifle or any gear at a host of online stores, look it up.
Hey, I never said that there was a rogue element in the military providing the gear, flamethrowers, rifles, bows, arrows, hatchets or even spitballs. I merely asked two questions...
Of course such gear can be bought on line; a lot of experience in such purchases?Who is financing these revolutionaries?
Is there a rogue element within our own military that is supplying these traitors with such weapons?
Or perhaps you are salesman?
Does that online availability conclusively exclude the possibility of large organizations financing, or rogue military elements providing, gear such as helmets, gas masks, as well as weapons such as rifles and?...

Look on the bright side!
At least he just had his Dunce Hat on.
That is, as opposed to swiping one of 'the missus' clean white sheets to cover his head before he posts his latest crap.
That's my worry.
Like the other day when he posted a new thread whining that someone established a petition in support Black Lives Matter and local schools. What, Mr. Blazejewski, are you afraid that they'll teach about Black Wall Street and other atrocities? Sounds to me like some constructive learning that would help people get along. Stoking racial fear has been a mainstay of Had Enough Yet moaning and groaning by Mr. Blazejewski for some time now. And as a founding 'leader' for the County of Erie (each county has a leader throughout the state) on the Facebook group Make NY Red, I can't say I have seen him denounce or challenge any of the crap on that site. Calling people 'communists' on here when nothing couldn't be further from the truth, and as weapon too like Joseph McCarthy did in 1950, also turns me off.
On the Dunce Hat comments, wow, check out the replies above. Too funny, and kind of Exhibit A is the tone that seems a bit crazed; Mark Blazejewski should be advised to take it easy. But he does expect you to know of his immense intellect, and of course sound political sensibilities especially his endorsements for public office, so maybe that's why he has to have the last word.
I'll put a finer point on the naivety of this comment.
American history is replete with instances of overreach by military actors.
Readers, I am sure that all have heard of Robert E. Lee, James Longstreet, and Jeb Stewart. They too were members of the United States military, who in a time of domestic chaos, dishonored their oath to the Republic, and committed treason.
I am equally sure that most on this forum know that Jefferson Davis was a former Secretary of War whose treason stained his reputation.
I never was a fan of President Truman, but he was well within his rights when he dismissed General MacArthur, just sayin'.
Who among us is not familiar with the reckless ,and near-insubordinate viewpoints of General Curtis Lemay?

The Pentagon refused to issue orders to fire on all patrol vessels, fearing crew members from the Mayaguez could be on board. DOD also curtained airstrikes on Cambodia ordered by the president to make the carrier USS Coral Sea and its aircraft available to support the hard-pressed Marines on Koh Tang. For his perceived insubordination, Ford fired Schlesinger.
Then of course was the former distinguished career military personage Alexander Haig, who in a moment under pressure, lost his sense of order, and overreached before an anxious nation...

The combination of being a liar and senile must be a bitch, eh?

Biden 2.0
Mr. Biden is out of the basement and speaking publicly. We welcome hearing from him and learning what his plans are on many of the issues plaguing the country today . Mr. Biden is being quoted in the media saying:
“I am in this campaign for you, no matter your color, no matter your ZIP code, no matter your politics.”
“Rioting is not protesting. Looting is not protesting. Setting fires is not protesting. None of this is protesting, its lawlessness, plain and simple and those who do it should be prosecuted.”
You know me. You know my heart and you know my story, my family’s story. Ask yourself: Do I look to you like a radical socialist with a soft spot for rioters? Really?
Biden accuses the ‘law-and-order’ president of lacking in empathy and stoking division. “What we want to do is we’ve got to heal," Biden said at a Wednesday news conference and a visit to Kenosha today. "We got to put things together, bring people together. I can do that.”
Biden declares that 80,000 Covid deaths could have been prevented had Trump acted earlier in addressing the pandemic. He has a plan to contain the pandemic, restore the economy, improve the health care system and focusing on the importance of mental health in this anxious time.
Looking forward to hearing more from Mr. Biden on agenda detail and specifically on his declaration: ”Do I look to you like a radical socialist with a soft spot for rioters? Really?” Is Mr. Biden saying he is not aligning with just radical socialists? Marxist socialism in general? Hard core Marxist socialists within his own party? Socialism is a big sticking point for many Americans in this election.
Speaking at Grace Lutheran Church in Kenosha, Wis., Biden again condemned the violence that followed the shooting of Jacob Blake, while offering himself as the calming influence — a “congenital optimist” bringing hope rather than playing to fears as he claims Trump is.
.
In Kenosha Biden offered the following: “There’s a lot of folks who thought that, well, the president’s made great strides with his law and order (message) … that, boy, after his convention he really made inroads,” Biden said, lowering his voice to a whisper as if he were sharing a secret. “He hasn’t. Not at all. They ain't buying it," Biden added of Trump's approach.
Well, something drew you out of the basement Mr. Biden. It had to be something like the Republican convention where you were attacked for not condemning the violence, or that Trump is making inroads with the law enforcement spiel.
On Monday, Biden gave a speech in Pittsburgh decrying the violence, looting and arson as the antithesis of peaceful protesting. He also challenged Trump to condemn all violence, including the deadly shootings by a supporter who faces murder charges after killing two protesters in Kenosha. All anarchistic violence should be condemned by both Trump and Biden. Biden has yet to refer to antifa and Trump too often excuses the white supremacists.
We have been waiting to hear from you, Mr. Biden. This should be your shining moment to define yourself. Your words lose credibility and integrity when we then read:
Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden was caught taking scripted questions on the campaign trail, as evidenced by a woman revealing that she was supposed to stick to the script when addressing the “Sleepy” White House challenger.
Joe Biden is Kenosha says that he can't lay out all his plans in more detail because if he goes on any longer "they'll shoot me."
Screw the ‘they’, Mr. Biden. We want to know what your plans are; what you think and believe will bring healing and make America better. Otherwise, we can’t trust that you are the party leader or just the figurehead; the Trojan Horse as you are being referred to.
What have we become? What are we to believe?
The last few days have given pause as to consider what you hold true and what kind of America you will be voting for; not which candidate is most worthy of your vote. And, that decision should be based on information provided by multiple media outlets.
Today’s Buffalo News featured 17 political news reports, all coming from left, biased mainstream media outlets – New York Times, 10; Washington Post, 6: Bloomberg, 1.
The one Washington Post report is credible in that Trump is a callous, self-aggrandizing bully and says the most outrageous things and is deserving of the blowback he receives.
Trump’s callous alleged comments about military veterans vs. what he’s said very publicly
https://www.washingtonpost.com/polit...very-publicly/
It gave Biden the opportunity to excoriate Trump declaring: “I just think it is sick. It is deplorable. It is so un-American. It is so unpatriotic". Score one for Biden. He is telling us what we already know about Trump. He can be a disgusting individual. But using this distraction to win over military voters may be a stretch, especially when former National Security Advisor John Bolton, who now detests Trump, has disputed The Atlantic story claiming that President Donald Trump called fallen World War I soldiers “losers.” Bolton told the New York Times Friday that “I was there” and “I didn’t hear that.”.
Regardless, the economy, coronavirus, violence, employment, and school openings will be the issues the public will be considering when voting.
After staying silent in his basement, and especially at the Democratic convention, Biden had an opportunity this week to offer alternative plans for dealing with the virus, the lockdown, the economic recovery, the violence / looting / racial tensions.
.
Yet until Biden’s recent press outing and visit to Kenosha, Wisconsin, his handlers seem to have assumed that if he were to leave his basement and fully enter the fray, he could be capable of losing the election in moments of gaffes, lapses or prolonged silences. So wisely, Team Biden relied on the fact that the commander in chief is always blamed for bad news — and there has been plenty of bad news worldwide this year and Biden chose that path.
For a week during the Democratic convention, Mr. Biden and his party were silent about the flames and violence ravaging neighborhoods across the country. Now he claims it is all President Trump’s fault. Then he attacks Mr. Trump for politicizing the violence by blaming Mr. Biden’s Democratic cohorts who lead those cities. For a week during the Democratic convention, Mr. Biden and his party were silent about the flames and violence ravaging neighborhoods across the country.
Biden spoke ill of the economy; yet offered no solutions. Later in the day it is reported that 1.37 million jobs were added, and that the unemployment rate dropped to 8.4%.
Mr. Biden continues to blame Trump for the death of 80,000 Americans because of his handling of the virus. Less Americans are accepting that claim and holding China responsible for the chaos.
More importantly, who is Joe Biden? After 47 years in public service, considered an old centrist he forged a Faustian bargain with socialist Bernie Sanders and his hard-core leftist supporters to enhance winning the election. He now claims he is not a radical socialist.
Speaking out as he now is, but scripted, perhaps he knows the violence of antifa and other agitators could eventually hurt more than help him, but for months he kept silent about the violence all the same, given the perceived political damage to Trump.
Perhaps he knew all along that he had always opposed the wacky agenda of Sanders, but Biden wrongly felt he could pose as a moderate in 2020 yet if elected keep a promise to the socialists of the more radical wing of his party to govern as a leftist.
Perhaps he knows that his new progressive allies would be happy for him to win them a presidency but even happier for him to then disappear as soon as possible.
Who is Mr. Biden? Who is really driving the campaign train?
I had a conversation with a friend this morning, and I told it that the circumstances concerning the alleged Trump remarks lacked full credibility because of the anonymous source component.
I also told the friend that the circumstances may be akin to the common circumstance whereby youngster comes home and tells his parents that the teacher harshly scolded him for no reason whatsoever. The parent becomes alarmed and pursues the issue, only to find out that the circumstances were not what the child said, but involved serious misbehavior; that the teacher's remarks were twisted to appear far worse than they were; that the teacher's disciplinary tactics were well within the scope of acceptability, and that the child was merely spinning a tale to immunize itself from the inevitable call from the principal.
With that said, I respond to the quote above.
This is not an entrenched defense of Trump, but will serve as a possible speculative explanation in the event that such, or similar words were spoken. The key to this, or a similar explanation, is simply context.
(1) Could I envision a conversation during which Trump would intentionally and broadly call World War One American war dead losers?
No, and I would be disgusted if he had.
(2) Can I envision a conversation where Trump used language to suggest that the lives of the Doughboys were squandered by incompetent military commanders who had no regard for human life?
Yes, and the Great War is replete with such circumstances.
World War was a demographic disaster for a generation of English, French and German youth. In fact, in the nineteen months of war, and the seventeen months of active engagement, the United States lost more military dead than in the entire Vietnam War which significantly lasted for at least nine years.
During World War One, soldiers en masse over wide open fields, confronted heavy machine gun fire, artillery, and gas in futile frontal assaults, with the spoils of their efforts being a few crumby yards. My own grandfather attested that he witnessed many times, machinery pushing multitudes of dead bodies into mass graves.
(3) Can I envision a conversation where the President compared his commitment to, and accomplishments for, the present-day military veterans to the rather failed national system which existed during the World War One era?
Yes.
(4) In that same connection, can I envision a conversation where the President informally used straight-forward expressions in commiseration for those soldiers who fought under the orders of a national military establishment which did not fully fulfill its commitment to the soldier's welfare, post-combat?
Yes, perhaps, and again these are my speculative words, something on the order of "Those poor guys lost their futures, health, and lives, and the nation turned its back on them when it came time for their medical care in civilian life. And then, what did the government say to them 'Thank you suckers' "?
If the President made such comments, he may very well have been within the bounds of supportive good taste, and entirely correct in his assessment.
Did not General MacArthur and Colonel Eisenhower personally conduct the operation which killed American veterans in Washington, D.C. during the Bonus March?
Speaking for myself, the VA jerked my own grandfather, a World War One veteran, around for many years arguing that the full extent of his physical deterioration was not resultant of a poison gas attack for which he was treated in 1918. In fact, it was not until 1943 that the VA finally conceded that his physical condition was strictly occasioned by that injury.
If Trump made a remark of the nature described above, I would agree with it, and applaud it.
To summarize, I don't know what Trump said, but it may have been greatly and grossly distorted. (I note parenthetically that General Kelly's silence is deafening.)
Is it possible that snippets of the purported comments, related by unnamed sources, are being dropped at a strategic time, to the sycophantic Leftist press, to intentionally foment anger within Trump's significant base of veterans?
As I have previously posted, I would not discount the extensive role that the military establishment, the politically-dependent elite leadership, may be playing in what just may be a national coup and insurrection.
Just my two cents.

For America's Mayors, Home Is No Longer Safe
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/fo...?ocid=msedgdhp
Most of the mayors are Democrats who support Black Lives Matter protests and have said they want to see some law-enforcement reform.
Mr. Liccardo initially called the protesters who came to his home “menacing thugs” in a tweet he later deleted. In an interview, he said these kinds of actions go too far. “When people start committing acts of vandalism, it’s just not right—especially when you’re talking about a residence,” said the mayor, who has championed a slate of police reforms that don’t include funding reductions.
Activists say marches on mayors’ homes are justified because the city leaders aren’t responding to calls for large budget cuts to law enforcement and other reforms made at protests since the killing of George Floyd in police custody in May, followed by the deaths of other Black men in confrontations with police. Some say property damage is justified as well.
“Vandalism is a consequence of the collapse of the social contract. That contract is violated when those entrusted with serving and protecting the community continuously murder unarmed people of color with impunity, not when someone spray paints a house to protest those murders,” Kiana Simmons, president and founder of HERO Tent, a social-justice group based in the San Francisco Bay.
In San Jose, Calif., a group of about 100 people spray-painted an obscenity on the front door of Mayor Sam Liccardo on Aug. 28, threw eggs and burned an American flag as they demanded that he defund the Police Department.
In Portland, Ore., protesters threw burning material into the lobby of the apartment building where Mayor Ted Wheeler lives. In Seattle, they marched to the home of Mayor Jenny Durkan, who as a former federal prosecutor later expressed alarm that her previously undisclosed address had been made public. In Chicago, activists descended on the home of Mayor Lori Lightfoot, prompting the city to begin enforcing a statute banning protests in residential neighborhoods.

A spokesman for Mr. Wheeler said the mayor is moving “out of consideration for his many neighbors.”
Leaders of smaller cities have been targeted, too. A crowd of about 100 mostly teenage protesters surrounded the home of Oak Park, Ill., Mayor Anan Abu-Taleb as he presided inside over a virtual village board meeting Aug. 25. They banged on his windows and doors, tore up a garden and spray-painted sidewalk when the board voted down a police defunding measure. In an interview, Mr. Abu-Taleb said, “Police brutality is real and cannot be tolerated. That said, public servants should not feel unsafe or threatened while inside their own homes.”
And Biden is charging Trump responsible for the riots and inspiring violence? While quarantining in the basement did he miss the part where Trump offered federal aid and was turned down by state Democratic leadership. The Democrats have lost control over their base. Is anyone or their property safe anymore?
