The Coming Coup?

Democrats are laying the groundwork for revolution right in front of our eyes.

September 4, 2020

As if 2020 were not insane enough already, we now have Democrats and their ruling class masters openly talking about staging a coup. You might have missed it, what with the riots, lockdowns and other daily mayhem we’re forced to endure in this, the most wretched year of my lifetime. But it’s happening.

It started with the military brass quietly indicating that the troops should not follow a presidential order. They were bolstered by many former generals—including President Trump’s own first Secretary of Defense—who stated openly what the brass would only hint at. Then, as nationwide riots really got rolling in early June, the sitting Secretary of Defense himself all but publicly told the president not to invoke the Insurrection Act. His implicit message was: “Mr. President, don’t tell us to do that, because we won’t, and you know what happens after that.”

All this enthused Joe Biden, who threw subtlety to the winds. The former United States Senator (for 26 years) and Vice President (for eight) has not once, not twice, but thrice confidently asserted that the military will “escort [Trump] from the White House with great dispatch” should the president refuse to leave. Another former Vice President, Al Gore, publicly agreed..........The Obama administration spent a great deal of political capital purging the officer corps of anyone not down with the program and promoting only those who are..........To Read More....

After watching Democrat governors flail, President Trump steps in to quell the riots

June 2, 2020 By Andrea Widburg

Before Monday, President Trump kept a low profile regarding the riots. He wasn’t invisible; he just wasn’t putting himself front and center. That changed dramatically on Monday. Trump scolded governors who allowed rioters to gain control in their states, announced that he would be mobilizing “all available federal resources” to end the riots in Democrat-run cities, and took a historic walk across the street from the White House (which inflamed the Trump haters).

Someone leaked to CBS News audio of a phone call that Trump had with the nation’s governors. In it, in typical Trumpian language, he essentially told them that if they don’t alpha up with the rioters and assert their top-dog status, things are going to get worse. This advice is only common sense, but some unnamed person naturally described Trump’s tone as “unhinged.”............

..............(If you really want unhinged, get a load of Biden’s Hollywood-production world in which police, when they see an imminent harm situation, are trained only to shoot people’s legs. To require cops to be sharpshooters in those milliseconds of decision-making, when the only sure shot is a body mass shot, is delusional)...........

Effective immediately, if localities refuse to act to protect against rioting, Trump will deploy the United States military, something allowable under the Insurrection Act. Trump is also dispatching soldiers and law enforcement officers to Washington, D.C., where the rioters concentrated their efforts on Sunday night............To Read More...........
