Malcolm Nance has been faking his participation in the Ukraine/Russia war. Now he is ready to bring that war home to the USA. In the process, he is willing to declare that Republicans are the enemy that must be eliminated. In his own words:

Here is the United States — to characterize that to understand what kind of terrorism we might be dealing with, you have to label it as white extremism because we have 30% of the population of the United States who no longer believe in the democratic norms that we established in the founding of the country…You know Irish Republicanism, where now the Republican Party is Sinn Fein, and it’s just a matter of seeing who comes up as the original Irish Republicans in this story and starts carrying out acts of violence to affect change. So we are well on our way to a multi-year campaign that we are already two years into this campaign where we may have to fight them. The ‘they’ in my title and the ‘they’ in my title is those who want to kill Americans are your neighbors.”

Emphasis added

So the left thinks that they are going to begin fighting. The war drums are sounding. The next few years seem to be propelling us towards armed conflict, neighbor against neighbor. Perhaps even within families. Be prepared to defend yourself and your household.

Alex Jones has a theory that is being picked up by the right:

Suppose the plan is to ASSASSINATE Joe Biden, and blame it on a “far right” patsy. . . .Then they can go after everybody’s guns, and cancel the election

That’s nothing new. I’ve been saying that for two years. A bit Machiavellian? Perhaps. But so is a bio weapon being used to sway an election.

A lefty just discovered history. Northerners are always accusing those of us in the South of attempting to relive the Civil War. Read this:

Did you know? In 1861, 11 Senators and 3 Representatives were expelled from Congress for failing to recognize Lincoln’s election and supporting insurrection. — We can still do that.

Expelling members of Congress, or of SCOTUS, because you don’t like their politics is tantamount to a declaration of war. You are in effect saying that you are going to impose your will upon the other party.

Many consider the shots at Fort Sumter to be the first shots of the Civil War, but one must remember that no one was injured or killed in that event. The first skirmish of the Civil War that involved blood was the reason why those members of Congress were expelled: The Battle of Philippi.

The incident served to embolden the Union, but it wasn’t exactly a battle. Since there had been no hostilities at this point, the 800 confederate volunteers, who had not yet even formed into regiments, didn’t post any sentries and were unprepared for battle. The 3,000 Union troops surrounded and entered the town, intending to perform a sneak attack. This sneak attack accidentally began prematurely when Union troops scuffled with a farm owner. The shots caused the unprepared confederates to rout, and there were a few casualties on both sides (a total of 30, to be precise).

The Union press seized upon this rout of the confederates, and predicted that the war would be a pushover that would end in a few weeks. Some political machinations led to the congressional expulsions, with the Union replacing those members with northern sympathizers.

As a result of the sneak attack, the Union ordered the Union general (McClelland) to invade Virginia and drive to Richmond.

Seeing no other option, the Confederates decided that armed resistance was the only solution. The first battle of Bull Run came ten days after those members of the legislature were expelled. That battle was the first organized battle of the war, and resulted in 4,700 casualties.

Is that what they want? Do they think that the war will be easily won? Are they planning on kicking out our legislators, gaming the courts, and ruling over us? If so, do they think that we will simply accept being ruled? Judging by some of their statements, it seems so.
