From a reader, this report from Portland (which you will not hear from the legacy media, at least, not honestly).

Realize that the police were in retreat because they are under no legal obligation to defend or protect the residents in this neighborhood.

Also realize that if any of the residents were intent on stopping this, they waited far too late.  Allowing them to become ensconced gives Antifa the tactical edge.  The residents were thus unable to resist in any meaningful way.

Then again, most residents of Portland elected the officials who put up with, and even defend, these thugs.  So most of them are communists, and wouldn’t choose to defend their neighborhood anyway.

Even if a patriot lived there, he is essentially alone.  It matters where you live, and it matters who your neighbors are.

And tactical planning matters.  You cannot resists thugs who have body armor and AR-15s if you don’t have body armor and AR-15s.  And you cannot resist them well unless you can fight from behind pre-built cover and concealment (or at least, cover and concealment that you know exists because of prior scouting).

There are lots of lessons for us all.

The Federalist.

The New York assembly is considering a bill that would allow government officials such as Gov. Andrew Cuomo and health commissioners to “detain or remove” individuals that they deem a risk to public health.

The bill, first introduced by Democrat New York State Assemblyman N. Nick Perry, grants power to Cuomo and state health officials to forcibly confine any individual who is considered a danger due to a contagious disease or a suspected case of that disease to either a medical facility or another type of space appointed by the governor.

“The governor or his or her delegee may, in his or her discretion, issue and seek enforcement of any other orders that he or she determines are necessary or appropriate to prevent dissemination or transmission of contagious diseases or other illnesses that may pose a threat to the public health,” the bill states.

New York is merely the testing ground for this.  If they come for you and you choose not to take their vaccine, you will have to shoot them in the face.

The situation is clear.  There is a clear sea change in Oregon — increasing numbers of people who are avoiding conflict, and those who are joining battle, are turning away from Back the Blue.

I saw this to a more limited extent in D.C., but now in Oregon the pattern is as clear.  Iraq and Afghanistan veterans will see this and know exactly what is going on.  As will Vietnam vets.  Before my time, but they know this story, too.

This image came to me from a law enforcement friend who was in the Portland fighting on New Year’s night.  If you know the source of this image, please connect me.

Note: the fact that more Proud Boys, Three Percenters, and other Patriot groups are starting to turn on some law enforcement, does NOT make them allies with ANTIFA.  That’s not how this works.

There are so many issues here it’s impossible to fisk in a single post.  Michigan patriots have turned on their government, and the law enforcement officer nearby in this instance was irrelevant to the circumstances, probably just there to protect the state worker (who probably called the Sheriff’s department for assistance because she was scared), and probably just wanted to get away from there as soon as possible.  No LEO wants to be at a gun range with hundreds of shooters where owners are tearing up shutdown orders in front of state officials and LEOs and daring them to do anything about it, while calling them communists.

While allowing Antifa/BLM thugs to do whatever they wanted in various places in the U.S., the most worrisome thing for patriots is what the “justice system” would do to them if they fought back.

Here is the chain of command.  Officers report to their chief, and their chief reports to elected officials.  The elected officials determine policy.

LEOs the world-over will work ensure one, single, solitary thing: the continuance of the status quo and their chain of command.  They will obey orders.  They work to ensure continuity of government, not justice.  I recall a video of the initial fall of Baghdad where the army turned over policing to the local IP literally as soon as they entered the city, and the videographer took footage of the IP beating up local looters in front of American troops.

We’ve discussed how LEOs aren’t required to protect anyone under rulings in Castle Rock versus Gonzales and Warren versus D.C.  There is no need to rehearse that now.

The point is that even patriot groups are turning on LEOs where Michael is right now.  We are entering a very dangerous time in the history of the republic.

Only an idiot wouldn’t see this.

Clarification.

The Justice Department has asked a federal judge to dismiss a last-gasp lawsuit led by a House Republican that seeks to give Vice President Mike Pence the power to overturn the results of the presidential election won by Joe Biden when Congress formally counts the Electoral College votes next week.

[ … ]

The suit names Pence, who has a largely ceremonial role in next week’s proceedings, as the defendant and asks the court to throw out the 1887 law that spells out how Congress handles the vote counting. It asserts that the vice president “may exercise the exclusive authority and sole discretion in determining which electoral votes to count for a given State.”

The Justice Department is representing Pence in a case that aims to find a way to keep his boss, President Donald Trump, in power. In a court filing in Texas on Wednesday, the department said Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, and a group of Republican electors from Arizona “have sued the wrong defendant” — if, in fact, any of those suing actually have “a judicially cognizable claim.”

The department says, in effect, that the suit objects to long-standing procedures laid out in law, “not any actions that Vice President Pence has taken,” so he should not be the target of the suit.

His role isn’t “largely ceremonial” and they know it.  He could choose to throw away the ballots of any state he chooses.

He won’t.

And I hope this ends the ridiculous talk over 4Chan and other places of Pence being the hero of the day and riding in on his white horse and saving the republic by ignoring the electors from states where there was obvious fraud.

No one is coming to save you.  The deep state will do this until it fears you.

Pence is a deep state actor, and we’ve known that for a very long time.  Here is something for which I will never forgive Pence.  He was the first out of the gate to turn on Gen. Michael Flynn.  He is responsible for Flynn’s torment over almost four years.  And Trump was stupid enough to listen to Pence.  He should have told Pence to go home and work on writing letters to people or something where he couldn’t hurt anything.  But then, Trump should never have chosen him as a running mate to begin with.

Pence knew the danger Flynn posed to the deep state and its intelligence apparatus, and Pence acted in accordance with his master’s wishes.

Most of the politicians in Georgia could be described as election hacks, but I’m referring to the corruption 2020 election hack, whether by machine, adjudication, or simply false and fraudulent ballots.

In Pennsylvania.

HARRISBURG, Pa. (WJAC) — A group of Republican lawmakers say they’ve performed an extensive analysis of election day data and they’ve found “troubling” discrepancies.

According to State Rep. Frank Ryan (R-Lebanon), 17 lawmakers sponsored and participated in the analysis.

Ryan, who is a certified public accountant, says they discovered discrepancies between the numbers of total votes counted and total number of voters who voted in the 2020 General Election which is making them question how the results could have been certified by Gov. Tom Wolf and Secretary of the Commonwealth Kathy Boockvar.

According to Ryan, the analysis compared official county election results to the total number of voters who voted Nov. 3, as recorded by the Department of State.

Ryan says they found that 6,962,607 total ballots were reported as being cast, while DoS/SURE system records indicated that only 6,760,230 total voters actually voted.

Don’t expect the Pennsylvania AG or the Secretary of State to do anything about that.  Elections matter, and these positions are held by criminals.

Not to be outdone, after pulling their pants down and showing their ass to the world, the democrats haven’t just done it in Georgia, they’re still doing it.

A judge in Georgia ruled on Monday that two of the state’s counties cannot invalidate voting registrations based on unverified change of address data.

“Defendants are enjoined from removing any challenged voters in Ben Hill and Muscogee Counties from the registration lists on the basis of National Change of Address data,” U.S. District Judge Leslie Abrams Gardner wrote in an order, according to Reuters.

Abrams Gardner is the sister of former Democratic candidate for governor and voting rights activist Stacey Abrams.

Sister of Stacey Abrams has thus declared that you can “move” from California to Georgia for a week and vote.

With communists so ensconced in positions of local and state authority, there’s nothing that can be done to stop this with the cowardice in the state legislatures.

Good, honest, clear-headed, leadership with backbone would be needed at the national level.  Too bad we don’t have any of that.

They appear to have had enough of the Bidens.  Against the demands of Dem senators, the Ukraine unleashed an artillery barrage on Joe and Hunter Biden.  Via reader Ned2.

Via WRSA, this remarkable summary on the stakes.

Right after chow one morning, we had a lecture that I dimly recall was on the topic of “Urban Warfare.” I remember the major teaching the class had a last name resembling a line on an eye chart. I was only 19 back then. Officers and NCO’s in those days always used some kind of “hook” at the beginning of their lectures to engage the audience. Jokes were common. Some used film clips. Others read book passages or newspaper articles.

This major read us a story written by an eyewitness to the Sack of Constantinople. For a few minutes that morning, we listened as blood ran in the streets and children were slaughtered in front of their parents. Shrieking mothers were gang raped alongside their daughters before all of them were brutally decapitated. Old men were drug down the streets by their white beards for sport. Books representing thousands of years of accumulated knowledge were burned. Some of the greatest art in the world was despoiled in a frenzy of hate and violence.

When he finished reading, the major asked us what the moral of the story was. Marines in the audience ventured various guesses. The major seemed increasingly annoyed by their efforts. Finally, he closed the book sharply and said, “The moral of the story is – don’t f**king lose.”

I was remarking to someone just today that Christians were impaled on stakes, lit on fire, and their burning bodies served as street lights in the Roman empire (not ironically, Christianity had completely taken the Roman empire by the time of the Council of Nicea, 325 A.D.).  Christians today in China meet in underground churches and try to keep from view of the CCP.

Christians in Uganda under Idi Amin were tortured.  At the time of the Mohammedan invasions of Europe, men were forced to watch as Muslim bandits raped their daughters, killed their wives, and turned their sons into Muslim bandits, right before killing the men.

That happened until Christians learned to fight back.  Don’t be such a fool as to think it can’t happen where you live.  In fact, plan for it.
