President Biden has introduced a change to his White House departure and return routine: Instead of walking across the South Lawn to and from Marine One by himself, he’s now often surrounded by aides.

04/26/24: Biden that day was three Sheetz to the wind (thank goodness it wasn't the Vatican).

And where else but Sheetz could this have happened?

Back in 2021, we're in Scranton on our way up to Skaneateles NY, and stopped at The Big S (where a Biden relative on the premises was arrested for vagrancy; his criminal record today would automatically render him as a Preferred Candidate For Hire as a Sheetz clerk).

The guy in front of me in the line said that during the 2020 Covid Panic, "all the Cidiots [city idiots; tone-of-voice, "assh*les"] flooded into rural PA" (!).

By the way, that Allegheny County Executive is an open member of "The Democratic Socialists of America."

Pittsburgh --- complete with a DEI-"Business Degree"-awarded mayor (after bouncing from college to college to college) --- is now officially Communist.

(Harvey Weinstein, whose rape conviction has just been overturned, is at liberty now to apply for a job at Sheetz. But alas! Without his previous esteemed criminal record, he now has no chance. Imagine the reaction of the women behind the counter on his first day on the job, had he been hired!)

Steve. There’s no over reaction. This government is a tyranny. Plain and simple. Not the form of government. The people and its current procedures are an affront to humans. They’re shaking us all down and destroying societal norms.

Since Obama, they’ve been shaking down corporations over mouse turds and in some cases following federal law. Sheetz isn’t the first to feel the wrath of DC.

What do you think those 87,000 new IRS agents are for? Who do you think will get those jobs? The IRS can’t hire enough people to fill existing positions, yet alone add 87,000 more agents. . . Unless they intend to fill the ranks with DEI foot soldiers for their fanatical financial field force. Angry hires with hatred in their hearts and envy in their souls. They are there to shakedown all of us. To FORCE us to pay they’re taxes.

They’ll find a small “problem” with your filing from 2018, fine you $25,000 which they will confiscate from your 401k. But you can’t liquidate yet without penalty. Do you think they care? That’s the point. Take the retirement money through fines and penalties for your failure to pay their tax as they wish. Obama said those retirement accounts were “lazy money”. How do you think they are going to get that money? King George!

It’s a full tyranny and must be brought to its knees. Peacefully or otherwise.

Greg, you're talking a hard line here, but the other day, you said you had met Chris Miller, a candidate in the Republican primary for West Virginia governor, and you were positive about him. That same day, Don Surber pointed out in a comment that Chris Miller is the son of the current WV House Rep, Carole Miller.

How can you be positive about Chris Miller? He has not served in ANY political position, but wants to waltz into the West Virginia governorship by flashing around the name "Trump" implying he is a conservative-- but he has ZERO track record, and it likely is all talk. His mom, Carole Miller, is a weakling, mostly RINO. It is a travesty for Chris Miller to run for governor without serving even a single term in the WV House, let alone Senate, let alone any other political job. He needs to pay some dues, give us some proof of where he stands. Right now, he's just a big mouth, and probably a fake mouth, trying to snow us by saying "Trump" on his advertisements.

To me, this really raises a question about your judgment. You called Patrick Morrisey, the current leading Republican candidate for West Virginia governor, a "carpet-bagger". How can you belittle Patrick Morrisey, who has an incredible, gold-plated, hard-earned record of success as our WV Attorney General for the last few terms. Patrick Morrisey is NATIONALLY known for his hard-working, nitty-gritty activism against the Left-- he has been head of the national Attorney General's Conference, and LED the fight against the Left in the courts with many outstanding successes. Patrick Morrisey could become another nationally prominent governor like Ron DeSantis. Patrick Morrisey has worked SO hard, and proven himself so well-- and you just dismissed him and said you liked Chris Miller-- who has done ZIP and is running based on his Mom's connections.

Is this how you plan to make America better? Sorry for sounding harsh, Greg--you got my "dander up (?"gander up"?--whatever that means). I agree with MANY of your statements. But I do much question your judgment based on your favoring Chris Miller over Patrick Morrisey.

Your second worry is a huge one for me. The open border has positioned our enemies in the world right here in our neighborhoods and on our front door steps where they are waiting for the call to take America by riot. It is an enemy that the gun-owning second amendment patriots won't be able to fight very well. They may defend themselves, but won’t have a plan of offense. Whoever is planning this multi-faceted overthrow knows the best way to negate the gun crowd is to not have a clear enemy attacking us.

I hope you are right.

In war, our military strategists select the few targets that gain control over the enemy (i.e. transportation and supply routes). Our daily life in 2024 can be stopped with some very simple things like taking out the GRID or a small EMP. Suspicious foreigners have been caught messing around with our power stations for many years. Even if they affect only a third of the country, the disruption would be catastrophic. The focus won't solely be on shooting the protestors. It will be finding food and water for our families.

The country will have to split. Crazies in the big cities and the rest to the normal. Big cities will need to be walled off and sieged. I know Steve Boggs won’t agree.

“The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission filed suit . . . alleging the chain’s longstanding hiring practices have a disproportionate impact on minority applicants. . . "

Looks like lawfare isn't just for Trump. It is spreading to any organization that appears to support Trump. Not hiring a convicted criminal to a job that handles money is discriminatory? Will Bragg go back to Harlem and sue the Bodega owner for discrimination because there was not a proportionate representation of white employees there?

The effort in planning and coordinating this lawfare against Trump is mind-boggling when I think about it. I am fearful that this crack team of Obama insurrectionists pulling a coup on America will have a doomsday bomb ready should Trump get elected. It will involve a complete crash of wall street and the banks, a crashing of the dollar, and any of the other strange things happening now in preparation such as food shortages, GRID failure, or the uprising of all the sleeper cells who are in this country waiting for the call to engage in hellacious riots.

They have backup plans for their backup plans. We need a military that is on our side and I don't think they are anymore.

I'm just being practical in how this may come down.

A citizen militia is a strong weapon. The militia is able to fire a weapon but lacks tactical training, leadership and large-scale coordination, and recognizing who the enemy is. They also lack a clear trigger point as to when to engage. Who says "go" and who organizes it?

We have armies of Chinese, Latino (cartels), Iranian, Arab, Muslim (Hamas, Hezbollah) terrorists laying in wait. By now, probably tens of thousands of them in their own little corners of the country. That trigger didn't get pulled when our cities were on fire with BLM and Antifa.

A potential model would be that of “leaderless resistance”. From Wikipedia: “Leaderless resistance, or phantom cell structure, is a social resistance strategy in which small, independent groups (covert cells), or individuals (a solo cell is called a "lone wolf"), challenge an established institution such as a law, economic system, social order, or government. Leaderless resistance can encompass anything from non-violent protest and civil disobedience to vandalism, terrorism, and other violent activity. Leaderless cells lack vertical command links and so operate without hierarchical command, but they have a common goal that links them to the social movement from which their ideology was learned.”

Have you read the book “Unintended Consequences” by John Ross? Again, from Wikipedia: “Its thesis, as discussed in the “Author's Note – A Warning and Disclaimer” in the beginning of the book, is that enough bullying, by what is widely perceived as a hostile occupation government, will inevitably end in revolt if the occupied area is large enough and has a culture that is significantly different from the occupying state, and that this revolt will be undefeatable if the rebels use very low-tech ‘leaderless resistance.’”

Human nature doesn't change nor do peoples attitudes about their families. The military could be used in case of riots like back in the late 60's but that is far different from open conflict with American citizens who have had enough of being abused. I have always thought that the circumstances in this case matter. There are never guarantee's when it comes to peoples reaction to events but on a wholesale basis, the Army is not going to turn on its people. A corrupt POTUS probably could get the CIA or such to use an ultra-elite unit on a limited basis but I'm only guessing here, but PFC Snuffy or SGT Bobby are not going after their families.
