Republican Senator Richard Burr refused to side with President Trump in challenging the election and joined the chorus of politicians who threw him under the bus. Two weeks later, the FBI announces that they are closing the investigation into the questionable stock market activity that made it appear like the Senator got rid of all of his stock, right after receiving a COVID briefing where he learned that the nation was about to be locked down. No charges filed.
Amazing coincidence, that.
Smaller blogs like mine just don’t have the traffic to justify the expense of a dedicated server. So I have a solution. I have set up a virtual server that is outside of the USA and will not respond to cancel culture arm twisting. The expense is a bit high for a small blog, but my aim is to make it more affordable by splitting the cost.
Your entire blog can be moved for a small fee and placed on that server. The cost for the server is $25 a month, paid quarterly. If anyone is interested, drop me an email at divemedic@sectorocho.com. Put “won’t be silenced” in the subject line.
Pass the word.
In the middle of the night on Sunday, 2,000 National Guard Troops were sworn in as Deputy US Marshals, granting them police powers.
In her farewell address, Melania Trump said:
“focus on what unites us. To rise above what divides us. To always choose love over hatred, peace over violence, and others before yourself. Be passionate in everything you do, but always remember that violence is never the answer and will never be justified.”
I wholeheartedly disagree. I always will heap scorn on stupid ideas like “violence is never the answer.”
Sometimes, violence is the only answer.
In a system where one side is the aggressor, the intended victim has only one choice: Violent resistance, or submission leading to slavery and death.
Ask Stalin’s victims how that worked out for them.
What if one side were imposing their will on the other, eating their sustenance and stealing their wealth for their own benefit?
The victims of this tyranny try to voice their opinion and are told they are wrong, then told to sit down and shut up. The victims next try to use the legal system, but are denied. Then some of them attempt to protest, but are called terrorists. They are told that anyone who would protest or resist will be made destitute, or perhaps shipped off to camps to be ‘reeducated.’
Would violence be the answer then? Or should they meekly accept their fate? Perhaps she should remember the Romanovs before she disavows all violence.
Reporters don’t know a thing about guns.
A 22-year-old Virginia man, Guy Berry, was arrested while carrying a pistol, three high-powered magazines, and 37 rounds of ammunition near the U.S. Capitol on Sunday. This made him the third person to be arrested by police under increased security that weekend in response to the January 6 riot.
According to Laura Meckler of the Washington Post, Berry’s weapon – a Glock 22 – was visible in a holster; His aunt told the paper, “He’s one of those open-carry people,” adding, “I keep telling him that black men can’t walk around with guns on their hips, but he doesn’t believe me.”
Scene: Democrat Headquarters, discussing the election and the purge of from the Internet of those who question the results
The scene outside of Democratic headquarters. Or at least, that is what I think happened.
As I have been saying, there are big changes coming here at this blog. We will soon be moving to a new site that is safe from being cancelled. This post is a part of that. Stay tuned.
Here are the prison guards. Note that the guy in the middle has AR/M4 mags but no rifle.
If he can find a guardsman, they can cause some problems together.
Nationwide security lockdown will be for an indefinite period of time.
Trump was the dictator, though.
Florida is home to the largest Federal Prison in the US: Coleman. It is located in Sumterville, which is just south of Leesburg and the intersection of I-75 and the Florida Turnpike. That prison, as well as 120 other maximum security prisons nationwide, has been placed on a total security lockdown. Click here to visit the prison’s website and see for yourself.
What in the hell is going on? Here is what the Bureau of Prisons has to say:
For the majority of the past twelve months, the BOP has been operating under a modified operational model to promote social distancing and mitigate the spread of COVID-19. We recognize that this pandemic has placed a heavy burden on inmates and their families in terms of limited movement and the public’s restrictions in being able to freely visit with loved ones. However, in light of current events occurring around the country, and out of an abundance of caution, the decision has been made to secure all institutions. This measure is being taken to maintain the security and orderly running of our institutions, as well as to ensure the continued safety of staff, inmates, and the public.
In securing the facilities, the hope is that this prudent measure is for a short period and that operations will be restored to their prior status as soon as practical. We will continue to monitor events carefully and will adjust operations accordingly as the situation continues to evolve. Recognizing that communication with families is important, although it will be limited, inmates will be provided with access to telephones and email.
There is no specific information that triggered this decision. This action is precautionary, and is not in response to any significant events occurring inside our facilities. We appreciate everyone’s cooperation and assistance during this period and encourage the public to monitor this website for updated information on visiting schedules and institution operations.
What this has to do with the inauguration, I do not know. Another ominous sign among a long list of them.
