President Trump has hinted at the use of the Insurrection Act for a while. Now, in the wake of the murder of one of his supporters in Portland, it’s time to use it.
The Act, originally signed into law by President Thomas Jefferson in 1807, provides President Trump with the ability to tackle the clear attempts at insurrection taking place in the United States today. In fact 12 U.S. Presidents have used it, from Jefferson himself to John F. Kennedy to George H.W. Bush during the Los Angeles riots.
If Trump dithers or delays further, the Biden campaign’s latest attempt to portray the violence as Trump’s fault may start to take hold.
“TRUMP RIOTS”
Clearly President Trump’s solid base won’t reject him on November 3rd, but there are people – especially female voters (mothers) – who are concerned this violence will spread to their suburbs and that the President needs to act before it does.
MSNBC’s Donny Deutsch laid out the Democrats’ “branding” exercise in trying to bring violence to ordinary people and then blaming Trump for not doing anything about it.
AntiFa and Black Lives Matter have already begun running through residential neighborhoods in cities like Washington, D.C., screaming “if we don’t get no justice, you don’t get no sleep.”
How long can it be before they’re knocking on doors, breaking through windows, smashing cars and other private property?

I agree it would be better for the President to wait until after the election, but if this has to happen now, let's get it done. It has to be stopped.
There may be no election or a disrupted and contested election.. whereby, no winner may CLEARLY claim victory. Then, the election devolves to the House of Representatives ... see Article 12 (Amendment) to the US Constitution... pay attention to what happens if there is no clear winner by 20 Jan 2021 for whatever cause... the elections for President is then decided by a majority vote in the House of Representatives.
Put down the insurrection now... before it grows to the point that it ends up destroying our elections come 3 Nov. 2020... why do you think Hillary recently announced that the Dem's need to have lawyers ar every key polling place... and that Biden must not concede the election no matter what that they would lodge legal action nationwide to contest the results if Trump appears to have won. The Left will attempt to throw the election for President to the House of Representatives believing they will maintain their majority.
Wake up the elections will become target for the building insurrection... which will destroy ballots and voting machines making the winner of the election impossible to determine with any certainty.
I don't think any of us would. Enough is enough.
A Call To Repentance
What wicked soul has torn us asunder that we should be without hope… too, suffer the torrid horror of this present state? ‘tis but the long-delayed decay… wrought by a derelict mind, set loose among our progeny… whose innocence, now destroyed is left to wonder at its loss.
Where then comes this wickedness… but from a forlorn mind; whose, abandon of its better course is now driven to recklessness. Thinking to find a better world, it has brought ruin too many… whose, hope abandoned their father's purpose; to take up with lesser men in pursuit of a mean course.
There they wait for the inevitable end… too, hear the pronouncement of the writing upon the wall… Mene, Mene, Tekel, upahrsin. The days of this nation are numbered. It has been weighed and found wanting. It shall be divided among the nations, to become a byword unto every foul bird. Let it be known, little time remains… for the wayward to repent and a Nation to be saved.
Who will stand with the Lord to be numbered among the righteous… let him stand now. For, the time is upon us when good men must no longer hold with the piety of silence… They must now speak or forever hold their peace. Behold, a great shaking is upon the Church… and many shall fall away for the love of the world.
Time to walk away from the world... too, take refuge in under the wings of God.
Governments are established through a system of laws... Law and Order are the underpinnings of society and peaceful social discourse... America currently is experiencing the failure of the government to provide law and order...
Anarchy and lawlessness in the streets are not the hallmarks of civilized engagement... they are the evidence of tyranny and the work of political parties that have become criminal enterprises.
