Building on the groundwork
laid by liberals like Nancy Pelosi and the New York Times' Thomas
Friedman – who implored Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden to
skip the upcoming presidential debates
with President Trump, unless Trump agrees to be real-time fact-checked
by a media that hates him – Joe Biden called for live fact-checkers on
Wednesday.
"I’ve begun to
prepare by going over what the president has said, and the multiple lies
he’s told," Biden said during a rare news conference when asked whether
there was anything that would dissuade the candidate from participating
in the debates.
President Trump visits Kenosha, Wisconsin: “President Trump Saved Kenosha”
By Pamela Geller / THE GELLER REPORT
He’s a legend.
President Trump just finished thanking
law enforcement officers in Kenosha, Wisconsin, for their efforts
helping to quell violence and protect neighborhoods from additional
damage after a series of violent riots last week.
“Law enforcement has just done such a great job
working with the National Guard and working with a lot of people . . .
We’re here to show our support for Kenosha,” President Trump said.

"If
a city or state refuses to take the actions necessary to defend the
life and property of their residents, then I will deploy the United
States military and quickly solve the problem for them."
- President Donald Trump, June 8, 2020
President
Trump has had enough...the attack on Senator Rand Paul and his wife
after leaving the Republican National Convention seems to have been the
straw that broke the proverbial camel's back. Now seriously considering
invoking the “Insurrection Act”
to end the 90+ days of rioting, looting, mayhem, and murder, our
president has rightfully placed the blame for all that has gone wrong
squarely on the shoulders of the Democratic mayors and governors who are
willfully allowing their cities to not only go up in flames, but who
refuse to stop the violence that seems to be overtaking not only the
rule of law, but common decency and civility as well.
And with the “rule of law” being but a foreign concept to these what President Trump calls “thugs”...the happenings after the convention saw a large and growing number of “thugs”
surrounding, threatening, and intimidating the invited guests, Senator
Rand Paul and his wife included, upon their leaving the White House. And
while President Trump correctly blamed the very person responsible for
the mayhem...as in Washington, D.C.'s Democrat mayor, one Muriel
Bowser...for what he described as “a failure to gain control of protests in the city,” the realityis
why would she try to gain control of the thugs when she herself is, if
not actually one of the thug's supporters, at least one of their
condoners.
And so our “law and order” president...the
very president who knows there exists no systemic racism nor
widespread police brutality here in our country...the very president who
has said defunding America's police departments will not happen on his
watch...has now come face to face with those who say he does not have
the Constitutional authority to impose the “Insurrection Act.”
But I say these naysayers are wrong especially when the presidential
oath of office, as per Article II, Section I of the Constitution reads
as follows, “I
do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office
of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability,
preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."
These
were the very words that Donald J. Trump solemnly and with the utmost
reverence repeated when on January 20, 2017 he placed his hand on both
his family Bible and the Bible that President Abraham Lincoln used on his
first inauguration, and became our 45th President of these United
States. And these are words President Trump seriously takes to heart,
and besides, nowhere in the Constitution itself is the sitting president
told to “stand down” and
do nothing while American cities are burned to the ground while their
mayors and governors sit back and do nothing...except to add political
fuel to the fire that is.
But herein lies the problem for remember this in regards to “insurrection”...if the governors of the states and/or the mayors of the cities at risk do not “invite” the feds in to help restore “law and order”....if they do not officially call the ongoing rioting and mayhem an “insurrection”...some
believe there's little President Trump can legally do. But there are
things a president can do after certain specific criteria are
met...criteria which includes proving that those rebelling against
authority are arming themselves to do so. And to that add that there are
statutory restrictions on “posse comitatus” relatingto the use of “private parties” to enforce the law... “private parties”
in this case being the extent to which the military may be used for law
enforcement purposes. But when police hands are tied, when the police
are prevented from doing the job they were tasked with doing, exceptions to “posse comitatus” doallow President Trump to invoke the “Insurrection Act” to help keep the populace safe.
Now regarding the “Insurrection Act” itself...an act adopted in 1807 that authorizes the president, at the request of a state government, to “federalize the National Guard”
and to deploy and use active duty military forces on U.S. soil to
suppress and put an end to insurrection against a state's government... local
governments included...or its citizens. The “Insurrection Act” also allows the president to invoke said act without the “explicit consent” of a state's governor or its state's legislature if it becomes both “impracticable to enforce” federal laws through “ordinary proceedings” or if states are unable or unwilling to safeguard its citizens “civil rights” against dangerous and destructive forces. And if President Trump can make such a case...a case we see unfolding everyday on the news and on the internet... the “Insurrection Act” can and should be ordered even without his securing a local official's request.
And here let it be known that “civil rights”
are not just rights afforded BLM and Antifa protesters, rioters,
looters, arsonists, and thugs...as the Democrats and liberal media are
trying hard to make you believe...but are rights afforded to all “We the People”...to
America's citizenry itself...as in it's our right to live our lives
free of fear, retribution, mayhem, and violence at the hands of those
who are doing any and everything to state their grievances but not by “peaceably assembling,” which is what our Constitution's First Amendment says “assembly” must be.
And
while the above seems a logical given, it's here where nonsensical and
dangerous word semantics comes into play and it starts and ends with the
“Posse Comitatus Act”...the
very act which prohibits the federal government from using military
forces to act as a police force within U.S. borders...the “Insurrection Act” seems to counter the “Posse Comitatus Act” and visa-versa. But things are not always what they appear to be on the surface for a state's governor can indeed “call-up”
the National Guards to de-escalate tensions but only as an adjunct to,
not take the place of, the police. However, what's different with
today's situation is that with the police basically being rendered
impotent due to their not being able to do their jobs...as per “stand down orders,” defunding,
and in some cases (as in Seattle) actual being disbanded...the law
continues to be broken by rioters, looters, arsonists and thugs, while
Democrat mayors and governors give them an okay wink and a nod by doing
not a thing to stop the escalated violence now increasingly being
perpetrated on innocent, mostly white, folks.
So how can President Trump legally institute the “Insurrection Act”...I believe by throwing the “Posse Comitatus Act” back in the Democrats, BLM, and Antifa's America-hating faces. What many don't know or simply ignore is the fact that the “Insurrection Act”
has already been used a number of times, especially to protect black
folks from violence...black folks fighting for both civil rights and
desegregation. For example, in 1871, Congress actually reformed the “Insurrection Act,” and by default the “Posse Comitatus Act,”
to allow then President Ulysses S. Grant to use military troops to
enforce newly designated civil rights; in 1957 by President Dwight D.
Eisenhower to desegregate schools in South Carolina after violence broke
out; in 1962 by J.F.K. in Mississippi for the same reason; and again in
1965 by L.B.J. to protect civil rights marchers in Selma, Alabama
against what was feared to come violence.
In other words, U.S. troops were sent in on these president's orders to protect the “civil rights” of black folks and President Trump can do the same, but this time to protect not only black folks' “civil rights,” but also the “civil rights”
of white, brown, yellow and red folks who are, if truth be told, the innocent victims being affected by BLM and
Antifa's violent and destructive actions...and our president doesn't need their Democrat enablers permission to do just that.
The “rule of law” is the “rule of law” and should be instituted fairly across the board including for those affected by the folks behaving
badly. And to get the “Insurrection Act”
ball rolling, all President Trump needs to do is issue a formal
proclamation ordering all protesters and insurgents to disperse no
matter that a number of Democrat governors and mayors...elected officials who see yet do
nothing about their cities going up in flames...have denounced Trump's
wanted implementation of said “Insurrection Act.”
But in their denouncing of President Trump, and in their failing to
stop the violence and mayhem, these Democrat governors and mayors might
be the very reason why President Trump will rightfully get a second term in
office, and it's along the same lines that afforded Richard M. Nixon the
presidency back in 1968 during somewhat similar turbulent times.
Nixon was the first to call himself the would be “law and order”
president, and he did so while campaigning for president while our
country was suffering through the Viet Nam War protests; the murders of
both Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Senator Robert F. Kennedy; and when
the anti-war protesters and civil rights demonstrators tried to shut
down the Democratic National Convention that nominated Hubert Humphrey
for president. And with riots then, as they are now, continuing to break
out across the U.S...the National Guard was called in to help restore “law and order” by now President Richard M. Nixon...the candidate who had promised that he would be the man to restore the “rule of law.”
And Nixon won his election because of that promise...a promise he kept...and President Trump has
made that very same promise, and we all know that what Donald J. Trump
promises he will do, he does.
The “Insurrection Act” needs
to be imposed poste-haste and President Trump needs that second term in
office to restore "law and order," otherwise what we now see going on in Democrat controlled cities
will indeed be coming to a city and a suburb near you...Democrat or
Republican controlled city not withstanding. That, dear reader, is simple reality...case closed.
