Late last night, while the sky was still dark and most Americans were asleep in their beds, the President of the United States was wide awake inside the White House, giving a telephone interview to an obscure far-right media personality and conspiracy theorist. The conversation happened sometime after midnight with Wayne Allyn Root, a Las Vegas-based Trump loyalist who hosts a show on Real America's Voice. They spoke for 42 minutes on a wide range of subjects, but perhaps the most dangerous moment came when Root suggested that Trump declare a "national security emergency" within the next month ahead of the midterm elections. Not only did Donald Trump not push back, or flat out say no. He instead said, "Let me just say, stranger things have happened. I'll leave it at that." The President of the United States would not say that he wouldn't interfere in the elections less than three months away.
Heather, the part of your post that sent a chill down my spine was the suggestion that the National Guard could be used to monitor the November mid elections. Why should there be an issue about people going along to cast their votes? I believe Trump knows there is a danger that he could lose the mid terms so he is creating havoc where there is no danger at all. Shades of Adolf.
A desperate trump is a dangerous trump, whose weapons are yet unknown. There is no limit to the brutal imagination being conjured up by this man and his enablers. So we the people must have the awareness and courage of the fearless African elephant who is not only smart but protects his herd with his herd. United we stand, divided we fall.
So, Heather, looking at the worst case scenario, what happens if he does declare a national emergency? Can it be nullified in the courts in order to ensure free and fair elections in November? Or will it cause delays or the cancellation of the elections? Also, what would be the justification he used to do it? Foreign interference? Elon Musk buying votes? Too many unregistered voters?
I probably shouldn’t have read this before my morning coffee, it seems like another nightmare in waiting. I appreciate (and concur with) your enduring optimism. I have 2 comments. First, you wrote, “And the Court has historically been reluctant to change election rules this close to a vote.” With this Supreme Court, we can’t take that for granted. After all, just this past term, they allowed mid-decade redistricting not only close to an election, but even after an election had already started. Second, sometimes the holes in the Swiss cheese do line up. When that happens, all their walls will come crashing down. I’m here for it.
Regarding your first sentence, I recently decided not to read any news or commentary before 10 AM because literally everything T does has the potential to ruin a good day…but here I am:(. Hope your day goes well!!
On the one hand we have a raving lunatic holding a powerful position but in his own bubble of insanity, fantasizing out loud that the real world could be bent to conform to his insane imagination, On the other hand is the huge objective world with stirrings of resistance to its projected distortion. Between the two are his self-seeking sycophantic enablers (Blanche, Miller, et al.), a hard core of true believers whom he is grooming as potential tools, a far larger populace whose upcoming decisions and actions, backed by traditional institutions and practices, could potentially be decisive; and mediating between them are journalists working to describe what is an existential crisis for us all, but being forced to mediate and keep score until the dénouement arrives. They can, but should they if they want to be influential, take sides as we move along? Heather is in an inviable but perhaps necessary position, with our sympathy, support and deep thanks..
First he has to create the scenario..the reason to declare a national emergency..that is the fear..what will he do to cause the necessity…the validation.
It was just reported that the government recently spent $20 million on electric shock emitting gloves for DHS..these gloves are like having small tasers within the hands constantly..they do not have to be pulled out from a belt they are activated by a switch inside them making them completely controlled by the wearer and can be placed anywhere on a body to control the target. Also..no one can tell when they’re going to be activated so observers can’t see that a person is being shocked like they can a taser so this is a way the wearer can control without being seen by onlookers.
This is justified by them saying it makes it easier for ICE agents to gain control of their targets without harm to themselves because they are being so unfairly attacked while they’re just trying to do their jobs. It also makes it much easier for them to take someone down just by touching them while no one else can actually witness and report what just happened as is the case now.
Trump always throws these tidbits of truth out there like bait to a trap..his words to Root should be taken seriously ..he’s actually telling us what he’s planning to do.
What we have to beware of is how he’s going to get it to happen…where will he cause the disturbance to then declare the emergency.
We have to be vigilant but not frightened or intimidated..watch for anything he can turn into the powder keg he needs..don’t take the bait to the trap he’s trying to set but don’t make light of it either….desperate men do desperate things and this man is as desperate as any man can be.
He’s preparing for something….forewarned is forearmed.
How do you plan to be forearmed locally or in your state? If you are able to vote Mail in you won't be where those gloves can touch you. How would you suggest protecting people from same?
As I have said before...make sure you're registered..mail in if possible..help others get to polls.. volunteer to work the polls.make any contributions you can afford..call your representatives in both parties let them know your thoughts and concerns. The above post was a warning that he is preparing something and for us to be very vigilant of everything he does and says from now on. He always gives us a teaser it's his business but never discount or be distracted by whatever he says. Those gloves appearing now are for a reason. We might not be able to stop something but we can be prepared for ANYTHING.
There are more of us than them. And yes, we still have mail-in voting.
Protection comes 8n the form of community and UNITING. Even though they passed to have ICE Gestapo have cameras, they don’t and aren’t required to turn them on. Just like they no longer have to declare their murders in Concentration Camps if they release them before they die…and that’s just one avenue they are doing along with illegal mass deportations with our tax money, and forced self-deportations.
NSPM-7 keeps expanding the list of who is considered the enemy to basically all of us on the right side of history.
Well, we just keep resisting, helping, videoing, spreading truths, and prepare for the worst.
We, most of all, CANNOT Give Up…because OUR LIVES DEPEND ON IT.
We are nearing a Civil War and potentially WW3 if something isn’t done soon.
We are 1930’s Nazi, fascist Germany-trump and his sycophantic and complicit RepubliKKKans, BeneDickt Fetterman, six Corrupt SCOTUS, EPSTEIN Class, the Heritage Foundation Project 2025, on A.I. steroids that’s been in the making for decades.
WE MUST RESIST, VOTE, and may take a National shutdown the like of Albania, Minnesota, and all those Revolutions before us…a Second Revolution.
I never knew so many powerful and intelligent people could be so afraid of one deranged old fart. Unless that is the plan. To allow chaos and destroy the u.s.a. Somehow, that doesn’t sound like an American plan to me.
The gop could slow or stop this illegal mumbling from their lunatic leader, but they don’t. What have those people been inhaling.
I can’t believe that a whole mass of intelligent people have so much hate that they would try to destroy a beautiful country like what we have.
One of my favorite persons whoever lived was Eleanor Roosevelt and she said, "You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You always must do the thing you think you cannot do."
You do not get brave by waiting around, and becoming fearful. You don’t let somebody continually lie to you and do nothing about it. Life isn’t fair and it is sometimes scary but whatever was or is happening that gives any of us fear we survive.. we fought, we spoke up, we made it through maybe not unscathed but tougher, stronger and smarter. Courage to face the truth — It’s our survival our strength.
Seriously that Felon who continually lies everytime his mouth opens and proclaims himself as some God-like being of strength and an accumulation of the greatest people who ever have existed throughout our own nations history and even time is an absolute little coward.
He used others as decoys on the flight from Ankara, Turkey. The press and even those who have what pledged their undying loyalty to a walking, talking POS… the staff on the decoy plane included, as the New York Times reports, arrogant prick Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, sniveling Marco Rubio, 2-ton creepoid Steven Cheung and Santa Monica Goebbels Stephen Miller.
You truly can’t fix stupid but at this point how low is the level of stupidity who are in his regime, those loyalists? Why aren’t they not pissed off knowing he used them on that plane like a stinking clay pigeon in skeet shooting… do they not get it, do they not hear him, who actually called out loudly the word “PULL” knowing that the gunfire shot is just seconds away from that plane he snuck off in a catering cart tin box… onto another.
We’ve well passed the time that the clowns should exit stage right but carnival barker Tangerine-McDonOld just keeps coming back doing his bit..
Newer clowns are introduced to keep the narrative bubbling to that low boil, enticing the fear for some, about elections for others we’ve let that fear go and turned it into anger and determination.
In 2024, 91.3 million women voted compared to 82.6 million men. He is constantly banging that drum to suppress a women’s voice with that SAVE Act of his, her vote. Telling all the millions of women to “Be Quiet Piggy” - Ever try to suppress over a 91+ million women’s voices, like your mom who’s last name was changed because she married and tell her she can’t speak, or vote. How about a sister, an aunt or heaven forbid anyone’s grandma. Try telling your grandma to shut up and go sit on the couch and be quiet you can’t vote. See how that goes over. Give you a hint, you better duck or start peddling those tiny feet of yours on outta the house and maybe the state.
Over 50+ some years ago my teenage brother was giving our mom some sass over something. To this day recall her words clear as day - “You don’t tell me what to do, I brought you into this world and can take you outta of this world just as easily. So shut up and go to your room!” Think there will be over 91.3 million women screaming this quite loudly… We’ve had “Enough”…
Ask yourself, if he is some tough guy that he likes to portray himself hourly on that “Lie Social” of his and all these loyalists just say nothing when he slinked off that plane into a catering van as a coward. That this is the same guy, the same loyalists that called Joe Biden – who rode a train 10 hours into an active war zone to see President Zelensky – weak. Really…. Up is down. Down is up.
Organize your plan, execute your plan and use your Voice and Vote. Aid your neighbors and family to have their vote be heard just by driving them to the voting polls if necessary. Make your Vote count. Too big to rig is the goal and a blue tsunami is well overdue. “look fear in the face - We all have courage”
Thank you. Be sure to be registered and help others register and get out the vote. Locally, statewide and nationally. Too Big to Rig indeed! Thanks for the few optimistic posts here. It's a sin to spread fear.
Great add to Heather’s, TJ….and that Eleanor Roosevelt quote is one of my favorites.
trump is nothing but a Nazi, fascist, ant-Semitic, misogynistic, xenophobic, sociopath, Russian placed useful idiot.
He would’ve done the same to even his family and left them on that plane as a target decoy. The plane did NOT have to even leave the airport, but his soulless Egomaniacal sociopath purposefully used them as an actual Decoy to save HIMSELF.
We are anything but in the clear, as we know, as you’ve/we’ve mentioned NSPM-7, and now Blanche and continued ICE Gestapo executions and kidnappings of people of color, “domestic terrorists” which includes all of us here and people anti-trump, anti-RepubliKKKans, anti-A.I., etc, people who are disabled, LGBTQ, etc.
We NEED to UNITE, protect our family, friends, neighbors and VOTE because OUR LIVES DEPEND ON IT.
Not sure if you read Lance Rosen’s pieces on dangers for Mamdani, El Sayed, etc., and divisive Democratic Party of those bought with PAC and especially AIPAC money like Schumer, BeneDickt Fetterman, etc.
This is like a slow-motion train wreck. The loco is about to leave the tracks, the carriages are zigzagging everywhere, and guard in the the caboose is ringing his mum. I hope she picks up.
There is an intelligent design for humanity. Trump is not part of that design. Every one around the world must BELIEVE that Trump is going down. Mark 11:24
Bill Cassidy was on Meet the Press on Sunday and stated that he voted for Blanche's confirmation because if he did not, then someone worse than Blanche would become the next AG...I would like to ask him who that might have been...I can't think of anyone worse than Todd Blanche...look at what he is doing already!
The man who once responded to protesters with the question "can't we just shoot them in the legs" in his first term would get a different answer this time around. I expect some kind of black flag operation being cooked up in order to "justify" Trump declaring martial law in order to suspend or "secure" our election integrity, (in order to rig the election), through voter suppression, manipulation, etc. A cornered psychopath is a Very Dangerous thing.
Heather, the part of your post that sent a chill down my spine was the suggestion that the National Guard could be used to monitor the November mid elections. Why should there be an issue about people going along to cast their votes? I believe Trump knows there is a danger that he could lose the mid terms so he is creating havoc where there is no danger at all. Shades of Adolf.

So we the people must have the awareness and courage of the fearless African elephant who is not only smart but protects his herd with his herd. United we stand, divided we fall.
Heather, as always, thank you. I so enjoyed your interview of Hunter Biden. And I will continue to pray for President Biden. 🙏
So, Heather, looking at the worst case scenario, what happens if he does declare a national emergency? Can it be nullified in the courts in order to ensure free and fair elections in November? Or will it cause delays or the cancellation of the elections? Also, what would be the justification he used to do it? Foreign interference? Elon Musk buying votes? Too many unregistered voters?
Worrying times for America.
Believe me she doesn't know any better than you!

That is cool. Where do you live?
Massachusetts but my friend in Maine had even more coverage!

Great advice. Personally I anticipate a False Flag operation (blaming Iran of course), to invoke the Insurrection Act and cancel the election.
Nothing is out of the realm of possibility for this gang..put nothing past them and hope for the best...
expect the worst.
Indeed. The media needs to make this the headline. If everyone expects him to try it, he losses any iota of credibility.
How do you plan to be forearmed locally or in your state? If you are able to vote Mail in you won't be where those gloves can touch you. How would you suggest protecting people from same?

I would definitely suggest that people mail in or vote early if possible, and go in small groups to support those who may be intimidated.
First time voters, elderly or disabled folks, POC, all should have a plan to avoid going alone!
There are more of us than them. And yes, we still have mail-in voting.
Protection comes 8n the form of community and UNITING. Even though they passed to have ICE Gestapo have cameras, they don’t and aren’t required to turn them on.

Trump pealed back the layers and the ugly-ness revealed itself.
Among fewer than one third of the USA. Note the -27 rating for Trump Today by The Economist.

Thank you, Heather, as always. Your Swiss cheese analogy is genius.
I’m sure Donald signed all 1600 J6 pardons personally and didn’t use auto pen.
He and MAGA are very desperate. He’s still harping on 2020. 🤬
