THE SHEEP AND THE GOATS

     The vermin in the Corporate Media are trying desperately to create a national 'narrative' that projected Electoral winners are final without need for counting or contesting any results. Now, of course, the Liberals and their Media lickspittles contest and refuse to recognize any election they actually lose---but they count on the fact that Ameroboobs aren't noted for their long attention spans. Otherwise, they'd remember that less than a year ago, there were phony impeachment hearings alleging that President Trump stole the 2016 Election with Russian 'collusion.' 

    The 'narrative' is postmodern jargon for what we used to call a hoax. Unfortunately, since questioning a 'narrative' is considered 'politically incorrect' (another neologism for what we used to call thought crimes), the average American is easily duped (or at least pretends to go along with out of cowardice) any 'narrative' no matter how stupid or absurd it is. "9/11 changed us forever!" "Covid-19 changed us forever!" There is no reason why either of these events could or even should have changed our society drastically---yet they did because people said so, and others believed it without question. 

    The Elites have learned the trick of turning the narrative into 'New Normals'---i.e. translating lies into action. During the last 30 years, Americans have surrendered multiple freedoms believing that homosexuality is normal, but gender roles are imposed; that systemic racism is the greatest threat to our culture even though it's been illegal since 1965; that gun ownership causes crime but drug addiction doesn't; that tiny countries like Serbia and North Korea pose international threats; the list goes on and on. Act first, think later, and cash in on the latest trends: sadly, that is what the real 'New Normal' looks like. 

         Fortunately for the human race, the wisdom of men is foolishness with God; and the Old Testament is replete with stories of men like Noah, Lot, and Gideon and that we serve a God who spares us for the sake of the righteous. Now, the Corporate Media---which serves everything and everyone except God---holds up the lowest scum as national heroes. Witness lately their effusive praise for every vile Swamp RINO who's finally broken with his last vestiges of human decency and rushed to join the Insurgency:

      By the same token, though, the Media dirtbags hate courage, loyalty, and heroism and they've been ignoring all of the real leaders who've been defying their threats of retaliation and rallying around the President and the Legitimate Government. These people are the ones whose character has risen---rather than sunk---because a crisis is what typically brings out true self. We're going to tip our hats to a few:

     Rudolph Guiliani---came to the fore at the beginning and is serving---as a volunteer---to be Trump's legal liaison and de facto Chief-of-Staff to mount legal challenges and investigations to the fraud.

     Robert Barr---the US Attorney-General defied the Bush Gang and sided with Trump. He's ordered all US Attorneys to give immediate priority to investigating electoral fraud claims.

     Sean Reyes---Utah's Attorney-General who is assembling a coalition of States to initiate legal action on behalf of President Trump.

     There are numerous lawyers and firms, as well as State officials who are also risking their lives and liberty to fight for freedom. It's interesting that the majority of legal firms joining the fight are not the powerful members of the Legal Establishment. They are small, traditional firms mostly---the type despised by Law, Incorporated which overwhelmingly favors the Rebellion.

    The same is true of the Media: Tucker Carlson and Laura Ingraham have stood up---nearly alone and at considerable risk---to the thugs at NewsCorp who've finally dropped their masks and joined outright with the Revolt. Mark Levine---a podcaster and pundit is not backing down despite severe attempts from the MSM and Big Tech to silence his voice. 

   There are others, and we're not alone. As further heroes emerge, we will speak of them---but the Corporate Media and the Tech Titans are employing every means at their disposal to isolate us and make us feel alone. We're not alone. A minority, yes: but a significant one. 

   We must remember that these people---who are fighting for and speaking for us now understand, as we do, that an Insurgent win is the end for most of them. They're under almost constant harassment from Left-Wing thugs and the very real threat of post-election pogroms. This is not a typical US Election where both sides shake hands and one goes off to the private sector for four years. This is between whether we survive as a Constitutional Republic or take the kind of turn toward Authoritarian regimes that Europe took throughout the 20th Century. The American people too, may have to learn the hard way what gaining 'security' and 'equality' at the price of Liberty actually means. 

   

     

A WORD FOR THE BLACK-PILLED

      The term Black Pill has been floating around for awhile. Most of them are good guys, I listen to a lot of them; but the point of disagreement is that Black Pills have become so discouraged with our system that they don't even support Trump. They think that Trump is a tool of the Deep State as much as Biden is; that Elections are all farces and that who actually runs the country doesn't matter. Generally their grievances with Trump actually center on what he hasn't done. Otherwise, they do a  good job of exposing Deep State vermin, as well as crooks and scams.

    Mersh, at Nightwave Radio, did a podcast on Friday which fairly well summarizes their attitudes towards the Election. Here's what Mersh advised his listeners:

    "I'm not upset about this. I'm not as upset about this as some of the other people are. There are some people who are ruined by this. There are people who are already acting the way the Left did four years ago. I mean, if you're one of these who are worried that Biden is going to sell us out to China---we're already sold out to China... With Republicans controlling the Senate, nothing of Biden's will get through...

  "So I think the way is focusing on your kids, and focusing on your friends, focusing on advancing at life, at your job, advancing financially, getting yourself better off physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually---sharing things like having get-togethers with like-minded friends...and exchange ideas and books and learn from each other....I mean stuff like that is going to stay with you forever. There is so much that can be done that's positive that has nothing...nothing to do with politics."

    That last paragraph, albeit condensed, sounds like Paradise. I totally agree with the value of those things. But what's wrong with Mersh's thinking is that it's based on three false premises that the Black Pills generally share.

    1. They confuse 'Liberal' and 'Conservative' with the two monopolist political parties. The Republican Party Establishment---the Swamp RINOs---are controlled opposition. Just within the last 48 hours, Lindsay Graham, George Bush Junior, and Mitt Romney were already at Biden's feet, bowing to him. 

  2. They assume that winning the White House is the Left's End-Game. This was true of true previous elections (to some extent). The Left, since about 1966, has been following the Maoist 'Long March' tactic of using government to entrench Marxist agendas gradually while supporting takeovers of key institutions. The goal of 2020 is the final conclusion of that Long March. That means, to them, the end of Constitutional Law and the end of the Republic. 

   3. They assume that the Left is actually going to leave them alone in peace. The Left's leadership is made up of neurotics who can't stand leaving anyone alone. In reality, the last three decades of Political Correctness and New Normals ought to be fairly clear evidence of how much the Left actually respects individuality. "The Personal is Political," is a motto that the Left strictly observes when imposing its arbitrary will on the public. 

   No sooner had Biden announced his usurpation than this rolled out of his big mouth, according to reporter Tiffany Layne: "What’s his first agenda item? To make sure all Americans wear masks at all times. According to Joe Biden, he’s going to work with state governments to put his mandate in place. He wants every American to wear a mask the moment they leave their own homes, and to keep them on at all times. And if the state governors refuse, he’ll move on to the local municipalities. In other words, he doesn’t plan to give up on the masks until he’s destroyed autonomy in every corner of the country."

    As we've said here before, the Mask, like the swastika previously, is being worn as a symbol of submission. In dictatorships like California, gatherings are already highly regulated and violating any such rules could result in the loss of 'privileges' like Electricity and Water, along with heavy fines.

         Nobody should blame men for taking the Black Pill. I was on it myself for most of the early 2000s. When Obama and the Clintons ordered the attack on Libya, I couldn't keep silent any more. It's one thing for the American Elites to enslave Americans---who have mostly long lost the moral will to resist enslavement; but it's another to see the same thugs imposing their will upon innocent people in Libya, Ukraine, and Syria. I even supported Obama's campaign promise (though I didn't vote in 2008) to leave Afghanistan and Iraq. 

        In 2020, we face the same situation domestically. True, most of these apathetic Ameroboobs still deserve enslavement. Whatever shortcomings President Trump had, though, he energized a large segment of Americans who've stood with him on his promises to Make America Great Again. These are the Americans who deserve our help, because deep down they are like us. They want the freedom to live their lives, pursue happiness, and eschew politics outside of its proper venues. But to do this, we need political leadership. And right now, we are in a corner and you, our Black Pill friends, are in the same corner with us. 

    I've been pleasantly surprised to see the number of politicians come to the aid of the besieged White House. This is in spite of the fact that the Insurgents already are compiling employment blacklists, and going even further calling for what they call "Truth and Reconciliation Committees." Clinton's former Labor Secretary and current top professor at UC-Berkeley Robert Reich said recently  “When this nightmare is all over, we need a Truth and Reconciliation Commission. It would erase Trump’s lies, comfort those who have been harmed by his hatefulness, and name every politician, executive, and media mogul whose greed and cowardice enabled this catastrophe.” Chris Hayes, an MSNBC hack at the same interview piped in, "I agree with the idea of a Truth and Reconciliation Commission and it should include people who don’t believe in wearing masks to stop the spread of COVID-19!" 

     The truth is we---all of us ---who believe in liberty have to hang together or hang separately, as wise old Ben Franklin warned his associates. This isn't an Election, nor is it a Selection as some Black Pills say. This is a coup d'etat---an outright attempt not only to overthrow the United States government but to destroy everything upon which that government is based. These Leftist scum not only want to reverse the three years of Trump: they want, by their own admission, to destroy every cultural advance we've achieved since the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock to the present. And that's the bottom line here. The Insurgents aren't going to ignore you because you ignore them. 

     

MEDIA JACKALS ANNOUNCE SUCCESS OF COUP D'ETAT

      From South Front News: 

         "The vestiges of the democracy remaining in the United States seem to be destroyed by the most questionable presidential election ever in the country’s  21th century history.

     "A few moments ago, Joe Biden, supported by a coordinated effort of multiple mainstream media outlets, made a statement claiming that he won the presidential election. While final results have not been announced, the Keystone State, CNN, the AP, NBC News, Fox news and many other media used the situation in Pennsylvania (reporting practically all of its ballots and showing the potential victory of Biden) to call the election for Biden."

    The legitimate President of the United States, Donald Trump, has refused at this point to concede; and held a Press Conference announcing that he would challenge the results in Court. Here's how coverage of his reaction to the Biden Usurpation was covered in the Corporate Media.

    We'll have more to say about this situation later, hopefully. Sadly, I have to qualify this statement because, at this point, I can't guarantee how long this blog will be permitted to be seen. We've been experiencing shadow-bans for some time; and it's unrealistic to believe that those who would shut down the President would respect our freedom. 

    The same is true of the Courts. The fact that the Elites have declared victory in spite of the fact that court-ordered investigations and recounts are ongoing demonstrates that the Elites have no intention of observing any decision coming from the Judicial Branch. What happens next is anybody's guess.

   Whatever happens, always remember what we, as a people were and what we will be again someday. The fight won't be given up. If Lucifer himself cannot frustrate the Will of God, the petty would-be gods of the American Elite will not prevail either. 

    

SOCIAL WORKER JAILED FOR ELECTION FRAUD

    So, some good news on this Saturday morning. Texas Attorney-General Ken Paxton---a beleaguered patriot frequently caught between the Insurgency and the RINO Bush-connected Texas Establishment---announced the first arrest for voter fraud in the disputed 2020 Election. 

   Kelly Brunner, a fat feminist social worker from Limestone County, Texas was jailed on Paxton's orders and charged with 134 counts of voter fraud. Ultimately, Brunner's actions failed since Trump won the county by a landslide and went on to carry the state. But Brunner's actions are more serious than they sound. Limestone County is a very small jurisdiction outside of Waco with a population of around 24,000. It wouldn't take many fake votes to tip an election in an area of that size. 

  Brunner was apparently in charge of an adult assisted-living facility in Mexia, Texas. She took the ballots of all 67 inmates without their permission or consent and mailed them in supporting Team Biden. 

   “None of the SSLC patients gave effective consent to be registered, and a number of them have been declared totally mentally incapacitated by a court, thereby making them ineligible to vote in Texas.” Paxton said in a press release. I confess that I can't even find the words to comment on anything this low. 

  “Registering citizens to vote or to obtain mail ballots without their consent is illegal. It is particularly offensive when individuals purport to be champions for disability rights, when in reality they are abusing our most vulnerable citizens in order to gain access to their ballots and amplify their own political voice." 

  About all that I can say here is that I hope Brunner is the first of a real Blue Wave, which ends up the Clink for all of these scumbags. The fact that she was also a Liberal social worker is like getting two birds off the street with one stone, so to speak. If convicted, Brunner could spend a maximum of 10 years away from decent society. 

  Good job once again AG Paxton.

ARE THE INSURGENTS PLANNING TO BRING IN FOREIGN TROOPS?

       Today, probably to no one's surprise, the Media Hyenas were baying with one unified howl that any suggestion of voter fraud against President Trump was fake news. They've been pushing that narrative weeks---especially the Tech Titans who've been shadow-banning blogs like this one and carefully dissecting dissenting voices from their platforms. Now in this effort they count on the NPCs of America to forget that only a year ago, they were pushing a demonstrably fake Impeachment farce accusing President Trump of having stolen the 2016 Election.

    To follow the MSM's line of reasoning, Trump stole the 2016 Election, but somehow under his administration the Electoral process suddenly became more fraud-proof to the point where he could theoretically lose. And that, while we were being fed stories that Trump might not "accept the Election results" and there was an impending "blue wave". The MSM can't possibly be putting much faith in the American people's intelligence. 

   In fact, this entire disgraceful display is a sad commentary on the utter contempt the Elites have for the American people. Personally, I didn't think they would try anything this blatant. Some cheating in local races, yes. But a power-grab for the Election wasn't even something I'd considered. My feeling all along has been that the Election was a smokescreen---that the Elites predicted an impossible electoral 'Blue Wave' and the inevitable Trump win would give them the platform to claim fraud. To pull off a wholesale takeover like that, Podesta, Clinton, Gephardt and the other technical strategists behind the Coup must have figured into their calculations that they'd meet with no resistance. 

  Sadly, in retrospect, I can't blame them from a purely tactical standpoint. They've seen through years of experience that the American male has become so thoroughly emasculated and devoid of any will to assert his Rights that he can be cowed into anything from being strip-searched without a warrant or due process at any airport, to voluntarily donning a muzzle in public. They anticipate the opposition to be so weak (in numbers) that traitors like pundit Peter Beinart openly called less than a month ago for the United Nations to send troops onto American soil to enforce the overthrow of our own government!

   

    The fact of the matter is, however, that the numbers of activists on both sides is small. The percentage of Americans fighting for freedom and the percentage of those fighting to take it from us are less than half the population combined. The majority of Americans today don't know the difference and could care less. All that most American men would need to hear is that UN Occupation is a new normal; that it won't interfere with their daily drug consumption or online porn surfing and they'd set about immediately learning how to conform to the new system and what opportunities to profit by it have come up. 

    For those of us who are willing to fight, we need to drop the romance and face the reality that even though most of us are determined fighters and proficient with firearms, the day-and-age when Minutemen could assemble and go toe-to-toe with a professional army is over and has been since around circa 1945. That's one thing that makes Binert's suggestion a plausible possibility. 

   One rather ominous international trend that has emerged since Binert's suggestion is that just coincidentally a 'second COVID outbreak' is causing lockdowns across Europe---which means that these 'peacekeepers' would be coming mostly from West Africa, the Middle East, and SE Asia and would be most heavily represented by China. Binert forgot to mention that little detail. A UN Force would also occupy and headquarter in our major cities---how convenient for them that the police forces in metropolitan areas have been defunded and disbanded. City police departments were the only group with the organization, training, and armament to resist such a usurpation. Again, certainly that is only a coincidence. 

   

      Now many will be tempted to dismiss the notion of UN soldiers on our streets as improbable; but consider the mere fact that Binert would never have written, nor The New York Times' editors published, such a dastardly op-ed without permission and approval from their masters orchestrating the Coup. The Clintons were floating the idea back in the 1990s, and as recently as 2017 other Whackos on the Left were demanding foreign intervention. 

     In less PC, more virile times, Binert would have been shunned as a traitor and probably ended up writing gossip-columns in sleazy supermarket tabloids under a pseudonym to earn a living; while the Old Grey Lady would have lost enough subscriptions and advertising to drive it into bankruptcy. But that was then and this is now. Today we can't depend on our friends and neighbors not to sell us and our country out---and at bargain prices. 

   Now more than ever those who cherish freedom need to pull together and get behind the plow. Whatever differences we've had are irrelevant now---supporters of the President and the legitimate government are on our side and need all the help and support we can give them. 

AN APPEAL TO HEAVEN

      The courageous Archbishop C.M. Vigano has spoken out again; urging us in America to hold fast to our faith in these dark times and providing an excellent commentary on the true political situation here. Although His Excellency directs this message to Roman Catholics, I would---in a pluralistic society Republic like ours---encourage those of all faiths to read the Archbishop's words and apply it to their own beliefs. As former President Truman once said in a Christmas Speech during the hellish winter of 1950 when the military situation was looking grim for the UN in the Korean War: "I urge all Americans of whatever Faith or Creed to turn to God in prayer that we may be victorious in this global crusade against Communism. Communism is godless. Faith is the Foundation of our Democracy. Faith in one's self, faith in one's neighbor, faith in God."

    I'm going to post the full text of Vigano's letter without commentary because---well----there's little that can be added to it. We'll be back soon with regular commentary.😇

   "Dear Brothers and Sisters,

    "As devout Christians and faithful citizens of the United States of America, you have intense and heartfelt concern for the fate of your beloved country while the final results of the Presidential election are still uncertain.

    "News of electoral fraud is multiplying, despite the shameful attempts of the mainstream media to censor the truth of the facts in order to give their candidate the advantage. There are states in which the number of votes is greater than the number of voters; others in which the mail-in vote seems to be exclusively in favor of Joe Biden; others in which the counting of ballots has been suspended for no reason or where sensational tampering has been discovered: always and only against President Donald J. Trump, always and only in favor of Biden.

   "In truth, for months now we have been witnessing a continuous trickle of staggered news, of manipulated or censored information, of crimes that have been silenced or covered up in the face of striking evidence and irrefutable testimony. We have seen the deep state organize itself, well in advance, to carry out the most colossal electoral fraud in history, in order to ensure the defeat of the man who has strenuously opposed the establishment of the New World Order that is wanted by the children of darkness. In this battle, you have not failed, as is your sacred duty, to make your own contribution by taking the side of the Good. Others, enslaved by vices or blinded by infernal hatred against Our Lord, have taken the side of Evil.

   "Do not think that the children of darkness act with honesty, and do not be scandalized if they operate with deception. Do you perhaps believe that Satan’s followers are honest, sincere, and loyal? The Lord has warned us against the Devil: “He was a murderer from the beginning and does not stand in truth, because there is no truth in him. When he tells a lie, he speaks in character, because he is a liar and the father of lies” (Jn 8:44).

   "In these hours, while the gates of Hell seem to prevail, allow me to address myself to you with an appeal, which I trust that you will respond to promptly and with generosity. I ask you to make an act of trust in God, an act of humility and filial devotion to The Lord of Armies. I ask that all of you pray the Holy Rosary, if possible in your families or with your dear ones, your friends, your brothers and sisters, your colleagues, your fellow soldiers. Pray with the abandonment of children who know how to have recourse to their Most Holy Mother to ask her to intercede before the throne of the Divine Majesty. Pray with a sincere soul, with a pure heart, in the certainty of being heard and answered. Ask her – she who is the Help of Christians, Auxilium Christianorum – to defeat the forces of the Enemy; ask her – she who is terrible as an army set in battle array (Song 6:10) – to grant the victory to the forces of Good and to inflict a humiliating defeat on the forces of Evil.

   "Have your children pray, using the holy words that you have taught them: those confident prayers will rise to God and will not remain unheard. Have the elderly and sick pray, so that they may offer their sufferings in union with the sufferings that Our Lord suffered on the Cross when he shed His Precious Blood for Our Redemption. Have young ladies and women pray, so that they turn to her who is the model of purity and motherhood. And you, men, must also pray: your courage, your honor and your boldness will be refreshed and strengthened. All of you, take up this spiritual weapon, before which Satan and his minions retreat furiously, because they fear the Most Holy Virgin, she who is Almighty by Grace, even more than Almighty God.*

* (Editor's note included: 'There is some confusion regarding the reference in the text to the devil fearing the Virgin Mary, in a sense, ‘more than Almighty God’. Please note that this refers to the fact that the devil while he must accept his being vanquished by the Almighty would be more terrorized by the prospect, prophesied by God Himself, of the demon’s head being crushed by the heel of Mary – the humblest of creatures.)

   "Do not allow yourselves to be discouraged by the deceptions of the Enemy, even more so in this terrible hour in which the impudence of lying and fraud dares to challenge Heaven. Our adversaries’ hours are numbered if you will pray, if we will all pray with Faith and with the true ardor of Charity. May the Lord grant that one single devout and faithful voice rise from your homes, your churches, and your streets! This voice will not remain unheard, because it will be the voice of a people that cries out, in the moment when the storm rages most fiercely, “Save us, Lord, we are perishing!” (Mt 8:25).

   "The days that await us are a precious occasion for all of you, and for those who unite themselves spiritually to you from every part of the world. You have the honor and privilege of being able to participate in the victory of this spiritual battle, to wield the powerful weapon of the Holy Rosary as our fathers did at Lepanto to repel the enemy armies.

   "Pray with the certainty of Our Lord’s promise: “Ask and it shall be given unto you, seek and you shall find, knock and the door shall be opened unto you” (Lk 11:9). The King of Kings, from whom you ask the salvation of your Nation, will reward your Faith. Your testimony, remember this, will touch the heart of Our Lord, multiplying the heavenly Graces which are, more than ever, indispensable in order to achieve victory.

  "May my appeal, which I address to you and to all people who recognize the Lordship of God, find you to be generous apostles and courageous witnesses of the spiritual rebirth of your beloved country, and with it the entire world. Non praevalebunt.

God bless and protect the United States of America!

One Nation under God!"

AND THE WINNER IS----NOBODY

     Here in the Land of American Exceptionalism---where the people of every land desire a system of government as pure as ours---for the third time out of the last six elections, we've ended in a disputed outcome. After the last few weeks of extensive cheating by the Democrats, today businesses boarded up in anticipation of further riots, Federal Marshals were sent out to observe elections, and California---the Grand-Daddy of Them All when it comes to electoral fraud---had its electoral system declared unconstitutional just hours before the voting started. The same systems by the way are in use in Oregon, Washington, Hawaii, and New Mexico---all states that Biden allegedly won. (We have no way of knowing of course, since the ballots there are all mailed in and there is zero transparency). Arizona had its election stolen too---the exact circumstances occurred there tonight as in the stolen Senate Election of 2018. Minnesota and Virginia have had some rather suspicious circumstances around their final tallies as well. 

    In Oregon, Antifa, BLM, and other assorted thugs have been seen multiple times tampering with ballot boxes and intimidating voters.. No wonder the Deep State had to bomb other countries to rubble to get them to accept our Exceptional Democracy. 

    As of this writing, both President Trump and Uncle Joe Biden have declared themselves the winners, even though not all States have finished fabricating totaling up the results. 

    Pennsylvania, Nevada, North Carolina, and Michigan are States run by Insurgent thugs who've ruled like dictators since the fake 'Covid Crisis' kicked off last February. Georgia's governor Brian Kemp is a good and loyal supporter of the Constitution, but his entire State government and major cities are under the thumbs of Rebel freebooters. None of these government can be trusted to declare Trump a winner if he should carry those States (and he was ahead in all five until counting mysteriously stopped. 

   The President took the bold step of refusing to concede until the legality of this entire farce is determined; likely by the US Supreme Court. The Court has the power incidentally to nullify a State's electoral votes, though this hasn't occurred in the US since 1876. Back then there were very similar problems in several States---mostly in the former Confederacy

     although as we can see from Thomas Nast's classic political cartoon from that day, the racial roles have been reversed in 2020. It boils down to the same thing, however: a gang of armed, well-organized, and well-financed crud-balls determined to rob the average citizen of his Fundamental Rights. 

    My attitude towards the President's Declaration is much like my feelings about his Stimulus Packages and Project Warp-Speed. I don't really like it, but under the circumstances I don't see what else he can do. Caught in the middle of the maelstrom of mass-hysteria, corruption, ignorance, and fanaticism that America's become the President really doesn't have much choice but whirl around in it or sink until a way out can be found. 

   The Rebel Forces threw down the gauntlet by breaking multiple laws in a concerted attempt to overthrow the legitimate government of the United States by force and fraud. Too often over the last 30 years, the Elites have committed abominable crimes and simply walked away untouched. That has got to stop. This time, they've gone way too far and can't be allowed to get away with what they've done. If it means that Trump voids the Election and has to rule without opposition to drain this damnable Swamp once and for all, so be it. 

   

    Because Trump has the legal authority to put down insurrections by any means necessary. Lincoln used that authority during the Civil War, and F. D. Roosevelt did so on the Pacific Coast and Islands during WW2. Grant used it during a KKK Revolt and Bush Senior did during the Rodney King riots. The preservation of the Nation from internal enemies is the primary directive of all Civilized Nations.

   Secondly, if Trump conceded to the fraudulent Election, we'd be getting another group which is liable to seize arbitrary power itself---so we'd be no better off and probably worse off, in fact. Trump at least has shown respect for the Constitution and likely (like his predecessors) will lay down his extraordinary powers after the crisis has passed and order is restored. As for the other side---many of the Insurgent Governors are still ruling by decree long after any alleged public health emergency has passed---a few of whom had pried out of power by the Courts. With control of the White House, there's no limit to what they can do. 

    We simply have to accept the fact that the events of last night are not going to turn out well, regardless. We have to hope for the best, be more vigilant of our liberties than ever before because the fight ahead of us is going to be a long and hard one.
