Domestic Terrorism

Disturbing Reaction Of Pro Palestinian Demonstrators As Compared To Pro Israeli Demonstrators Across America!

The Israeli-Hamas Conflict was precipitated by that terrorist group attacking Israeli civilians and slaughtering about 1,200 men, women, children and babies, and including many foreign nationals in Israel on October 7.

Israel has every right to respond, as they are doing, sadly leading to more than 11,000 people in the Gaza Strip killed, as Israel pursues Hamas.

This is highly regrettable, but the reaction in America of the two opposing groups is very disturbing,

The pro Palestinian demonstrators on college campuses and in public places in multiple cities have promoted violence and lawlessness.

Pro Israeli demonstrators are peacefully marching and demonstrating, as in, for example, the hundreds of thousands of American Jews and their supporters in Washington DC this past Tuesday.

It is alarming how America has to be on guard against those who would promote bloodshed and violence if they do not get their way in public policy of America toward the Israel-Hamas conflict.

This controversy is dividing America in an ugly way, and could affect the politics of the upcoming Presidential election of 2024, although most Republicans, including Donald Trump, if anything, are much more hardline in their support of Israel without any qualifications.

So those who support Hamas, or see them as somehow not the terrorists they are, have a rude awakening that most Americans clearly see Israel as the aggrieved nation, who witnessed the greatest loss of life of Jews since the Nazi Holocaust of World War II.

At this point, the Middle East is, as always, a cauldron of turmoil, and likely to become a major confrontational issue, adding to the dangers of domestic terrorism everywhere in America!

Disastrous Republican Leadership: Donald Trump, Mike Johnson, Tommy Tuberville!

The Republican Party has become engaged in disaster on all levels, including:

Donald Trump, facing 91 felonies over four trials, ranting and raving like a totally unhinged maniac, but still the clear frontrunner for the Republican Presidential nomination, and calling the January 6 domestic terrorists who have been convicted of crimes as being “hostages”!

Mike Johnson, clearly an extremist right wing Christian who has clearly shown his inability to cooperate with Senate Republicans or the White House, and is standing in the way of aid to Ukraine, and wishing to make tax collection by the Internal Revenue Service even more difficult, so creating greater national debt!

Tommy Tuberville, Republican Senator from Alabama, who has singlehandedly prevented promotions of hundreds of military personnel and leadership, over his opposition to the abortion policies of the Pentagon, despite the undermining of the military readiness and preparedness of America’s defense forces, at a time of great danger and threats with the wars going on in the Middle East and in Ukraine!

The Ku Klux Klan Act Of 1871 Could Disqualify Donald Trump, Besides The 14th Amendment Section 3!

The Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871, the third of a series of Enforcement Acts (1870-1871), enacted to deal with the terrorism and violence of the Ku Klux Klan in the South in the Reconstruction years after the Civil War, was promoted by President Ulysses S. Grant.

Now, more than 150 years later, it is being utilized as a factor in working to deny former President Donald Trump from being able to be on the ballot in multiple states for the Presidential Election of 2024, due to his incitement of the January 6, 2021 US Capitol Insurrection!

Many legal scholars contend that this legislation, designed to enforce the 14th Amendment, Section 3, dealing with rebellion and insurrection, is legitimate in the quest to prevent Trump from being able to run for President a third time.

Ultimately, however, the Supreme Court will get this case, and decide, and it is hoped that Chief Justice John Roberts and at least one other Republican appointment on the Court, and posibly more, will do the right thing, as it will affect their historical legacy if they do not take action!

Domestic Terrorism Leading Threat In America: Joe Biden

President Joe Biden has made clear in a recent speech that domestic terrorism is the leading threat in America, even more so than foreign nations who are our adversaries!

Extreme right wing White Supremacist groups, which also espouse antisemitism, misogyny, Islamophobia, homophobia and nativism, are inciting gun violence.

They are promoted by reprehensible media sources on radio and cable, who constantly espouse “Great Replacement Theory”, with the leading villain being Tucker Carlson most notably, but also a whole group of others, and now including billionaire Elon Musk, who shouts against “censorship” but spreads ugly hatred on Twitter!

And the MAGA Republicans who back Donald Trump are also inciting domestic terrorism, making their defeat in future elections an urgent matter!

Growing Threat To Members Of Congress, Their Staffs And Even Presidential Staffs!

The growing threat to members of Congress and their staff, and to all government employees, even those who work for the President of the United States, is alarming!

The number of threats has quadrupled in the past four years overall, and to members of Congress ten fold, and the attack on staff members of Virginia Democratic Congressman Gerry Connolly, and the intrusion in the home of Joe Biden’s National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, in the past few days, are just the latest examples of constant threats posed by domestic terrorists!

There is a dire need for upgraded security for all government workers, wherever they work and wherever they live, as working for government should not be a threat to the lives of dedicated employees!

Donald Trump Threatens Death And Destruction: Time For Arrest As “Clear And Present Danger” To America!

Donald Trump has caused mayhem and havoc since his announcement for President in June 2015.

He believes he is above the law, and will stop at nothing to undermine American democracy and the rule of law.

He is under investigation on multiple matters, and has threatened retribution against all prosecutors and investigations.

But now, he has gone ever further, threatening “death and destruction” against all those who pursue the rule of law.

It is time to say, “Enough is enough”, as he is inciting, by his rhetoric, bloodshed and violence, as he did on January 6, 2021, with the attack on the US Capitol.

Trump needs to be arrested and incarcerated as a “Clear and Present Danger”, as his so called “freedom of speech” is undermining American stability and national security!

Donald Trump is the ultimate “domestic terrorist”!

No one else could escape accountability for such incendiary rhetoric, so time for action, not words!

Nation In Danger Of Trump Inspired Domestic Terrorism

At a delicate moment in international affairs, and so many issues at home, the nation is in danger of a Trump inspired domestic terrorism, which has all decent people on edge, as we await whether or not Donald Trump will be indicted in New York, and or Georgia, and or for the US Capitol Insurrection of January 6, 2021.

Trump and his supporters seem to believe that they are not to be held accountable, as all Americans are for their abuses and illegal activities.

One has to hope that peace will be surviving, but this is a delicate time, with many people backing Trump on obstruction of justice, that somehow he is above the law.

That is not a good image or a sense of security, that a person in power should think that he is not accountable, as much as all of the rest of us.

This is a time for prayer, that the Republic will survive the events that are likely to happen soon!

Donald Trump Likely Soon To Be Indicted In Three Jurisdictions!

It now seems clear that former President Donald Trump will soon be indicted in Georgia for interfering in the vote count in that state in the Presidential Election of 2020.

It also seems clear that in New York, the case against Trump on the payments to “Stormy Daniels” to cover up the affair Trump had with her, but which he wished to hide due to his Presidential campaign, is also coming to a head very soon.

And the federal case against Trump for the January 6 Insurrection and the hiding of government documents at Mar A Lago also is on its way to another indictment.

These indictments will come in the midst of the Presidential campaign of 2024, and should derail Trump from being able to run.

If only the 14th Amendment, Section 3, designed originally to deal with the rebellion of the Confederate States of America, were to be utilized, Donald Trump would be unable to run for President, even without any indictments or trials.

But sadly, the likelihood of such action by a divided Congress, with so many Republicans kowtowing to Donald Trump, prevents such action, so the threat of Donald Trump is very real and dangerous to national security, as he is the leader of domestic terrorist forces!

The Republican Party Has Gone Fully Racist, Nativist, Misogynistic, Homophobic, And Willing To Ignore Anti Semitism In Its Midst!

In the past, we had elements of racism, nativism, misogyny, homophobia, and anti Semitism emerge among some members of both political parties.

But now, as the Republican Party is about to take control of the House of Representatives in January, the party that once was graced by Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Ronald Reagan, and George H W Bush, has gone fully racist, nativist, misogynistic, homophobic, and ignoring elements of anti Semitism in its midst!

What used to be veiled and secretive is now openly displayed, with no sense of shame or embarrassment!

This shows up every day by the utterances or actions of those who admire Donald Trump, and Republican politicians who overlook his extremist behavior and promotion of hatred and violence and inciting domestic terrorism!

Members of the Republican Party in Congress and in many states accentuate their narrow mindedness and willingness to ignore the Constitution and Bill of Rights!

As things stand, the party is in its death throes long term, as those who are conservatives but have decency in their veins, are abandoning what has become an extremist right wing party!

So we have individuals such as Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger, Mitt Romney, Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins, Larry Hogan, and a small number of others in the party who still uphold common decency.

But the cancer of Donald Trump and his supporters permeate the party, and the disaster of Kevin McCarthy as the likely Speaker of the House, or being replaced by someone even more horrendous, make clear that the party, as we once knew it, is in its death throes.

It must be replaced by a respectable, dignified Conservative Party, that does not promote as part of its plaform the evils of racism, nativism, misogyny, homophobia, and anti Semitism!

A Great Day For Democracy: Conviction Of Seditionists, And Marriage Equality Protected!

Yesterday, November 29, 2022, was a great day for democracy!

The Oath Keepers involved in conspiracy on January 6, 2021, including its leader, Stewart Rhodes, were convicted of sedition and will face long prison terms.

It is a warning to Donald Trump and the multitude of conspirators around the former President, that they will be held accountable for the bloody, violent insurrection at the US Capitol.

It also is an assertion to domestic terrorists, including anti Semites, white supremacists and neo Nazis, that if their violent rhetoric goes over the limits toward promoting bloodshed and violence, then they will face prosecution and incarceration as well.

This is a alerting to Nick Fuentes, Kanye West, Michelle Malkin, Charlie Kirk, and others who promote and incite others to action, that there are limits to their free speech rights if it leads to action!

Also, yesterday, a bipartisan group of US Senators have insured the rights of same sex marriage and interracial marriage to be protected, although 37 Republicans were against such action, which will mark them in history in a negative way!
