This year’s inauguration is being called the “most unusual” in recent history.  Well, that’s putting it mildly.  The nation’s capital is now filling up with some 30,000 American National Guard troops, give or take a few thousand.  It is a question with many of us who or what they are there for.  The story put out is that they are there to protect the inauguration ceremony.  This explanation is just beyond weird. First of all, it will be “virtual”, secondly, even if it were “live” it is doubtful that more would be in attendance than were at his “rallies” all summer long - in other words, probably less than 100.   It supposes that there is abject fear instilled by the Antifa attack on the Capitol Building last week.  This brings up more questions because the hundred or so Antifa rioters would not seem to merit this kind of mustering of troops.  Indeed, when the  mayor was  offered backup before the attack by the leftists - Antifa and BLM - it was refused by Mayor Bowser.  Of course it was.  She knew in advance, as we are learning members of Congress knew as well, that this was scheduled to happen.  A lot of it seems to have been coordinated on Twitter, Capitol police were apparently informed in advance.  A peculiar thing was done before the day of the rally and planned attack by Antifa/BLM.  The alarm buttons were disabled at the desks of the members of Congress.  All of them.  It is not clear whether these were individually cut off or if they were disabled at some central point in the system, but either way it means someone on the inside was arranging this just in case someone took action to protect themselves and the Capitol.  

The fact that Bowser did not accept advance offers of help - even as late as during the rally itself - is consistent with her position on rioting, which she literally laid out for us by ordering “BLACK LIVES MATTER” painted down Pennsylvania Avenue this summer - her reaction to the riots that left our cities in rubble and ashes, along with the businesses they housed.  

We are certainly getting a lesson in who is who, who stands for what and who our country’s enemies are.  Bowser would have to be numbered among the latter.  It strongly suggests that we re-examine the governmental structure of our federal capital city.  Our capital city belongs to all Americans, not the people who live there day to day.  It is a vital center of our nation - not only the central location of our federal offices and our national government, but it is our face to the world.  Rioters’ slogans ought not to be painted down Pennsylvania Avenue.  Capitol police should not be facilitating rioting within our nation’s Capitol Building.  

Much is in flux right now.  We are going through a maelstrom of change right now.  This would be a good time to look at some details - such as the government of the city in which our federal government must do its work.  We need to eliminate the election for mayor of Washington.  The mayor of Washington should be appointed by the President as his first job in his first term.  The mayor should be appointed subject to the advice and consent of the Senate, just as judges and cabinet members are.  In this way the mayor’s background could be vetted and sympathizers with terrorists could be rejected.  Obviously the mayor of Washington has a much different kind of responsibility than a mayor of Minneapolis or Seattle or New Orleans.  It merits much closer scrutiny that is possible with a mayoral election.  It would also ensure that the mayor of Washington would not be at swords’ points with the head of our government.  That, in itself, would be a great improvement.  It would mean that the mayor and the Secret Service, the City Police, the Capitol Police and the Park Police would all be coordinating and basically on the same page, not taking opposite sides on things as vital to our nation as our capital city’s security.  If the mayor fails to act responsibly in times of unrest, he or she could be summarily dismissed and replaced at the will of the President.  We need some stability.  If the President is Barack Obama or Harris, the mayor of Washington should be someone who is on board with him or her; if the President were Reagan, or Cruz or Trump, the mayor should be his appointee.  It might seem a small thing but last week it was a big thing.  This week we have 30,000 troops stationed in Washington D.C.  

So - back to the initial question:  why do we have these troops in Washington this week?  It’s open to speculation.  It may have to do with insider knowledge the socialist faction may have as to their own terrorists’ (BLM, Antifa) plans.  It may have to do with paranoia on the part of the Biden campaign/team who actually believe that Trump supporters are “dangerous threats” which would indicate poor research on their part.  Or it could be with a threat that has not been revealed to the public involving an insurrection or an attack of some sort by a foreign power.  Or it could be because the President is aware of a threat from the left.  I guess we might find out sooner or later.  But it does indicate what we have learned is the truth this year:  that there is no such thing as civil law and order left in the United States of America, c. 2021.  Whose fault is that?  

Our government's authority is established through consent of the governed.  The supposedly incoming goverment - the socialists - have just made it clear that they believe that a very large percentage of the American people are "terrorists" - they claim that all who supported Trump are "terrorists" and a "threat".  If this is the case, they must know that they don't have the consent of the governed.  The people are the source of our governments authority.  If we need 30,000 soldiers to protect the "elected" candidate's swearing in ceremony, they have virtually admitted that they have lost that authority.  They are attempting to govern in spite of the people, not under the authority of the people.  This is the primary tenet of our premise of governent - the authoirity of our government is founded in the consent of the governed.  They don't have that consent if we are to believe what they say and what they do.  When senators who voted to investigate claims of fraud are told to "resign" their seats, when those who attended a peaceful rally are suggested to be put on a "no-fly" list, we are no longer in the realm of government authorized by consent of the governed.  

For months America has been treated to a show of BLM terrorizing our cities, burning them to the ground, vandalizing, looting, assaulting people.  The response?  Kamala Harris, who now seems to feel the need of protection herself, was busy bailing violent terrorists out in Minneapolis and other cities, allowing criminals to go free to do more damage.  No condemnation of the destruction and threat to the public all summer.  DeBlasio had “BLACK LIVES MATTER” painted across from the Trump Towers in New York and Bowser, not to be outdone, did the same in Washington.  When the federal courthouse was attacked in Portland and Trump sent some federal troops in to protect it he was castigated, blamed for what had already been going on.  Some felt he would have been justified in quelling these riots throughout the nation with a show of force.  After all, they were depriving American citizens of their basic human rights, not to mention those guaranteed by the Constitution to all Americans.  Yet he declined to flex the federal muscles.   Big mistake there.

One of the greatest accomplishments of the Trump administration has been the revealing to those who care to look, of the  true enemies and the liars in our country.  Who knew, for example, that Kevin McCarthy was not interested in the fraud that was rampant in the 2020 election?  Who knew how many members of the Senate were comfortable certifying an obviously corrupted election.  Two of them were John Hoeven and Kevin Cramer, of North Dakota.  We have come to expect this kind of cheap, partisan voting from Democrats like Tina Smith and Amy Klobuchar, but we have hoped for some integrity in Republicans.  We found them out.  We found out all we need to know about Twitter and Jack Dorsey, Jeff Bezos and Amazon.  We have seen how fragile our freedoms really were.  We have seen the anti-American duplicity of people like Andrew McCarthy, George Will, William Kristol.  Their hate for Trump heavily outweighs their interest in America.  We have seen the people we once thought were strong and principled rot like wet papier mache, such as Tom Cotton and Marsha Blackburn.  We thought these people had the stuffing to fight for America and our freedoms.  We found out the truth.  It has been a great clearing of the air - we see very clearly now who cares about integrity in our government and who is for sale or just simply too weak to fight.  If we ever have a meaningful election again we need to remember the names of those who did not care to see the evidence of fraud in this election.  Kevin Cramer.  John Hoeven.  Kelly Armstrong.  Remember their names.  They need to be replaced.  These men and the rest of Congress and the Senate had in their possession the report from the Director of National Intelligence, John Ratcliffe, the report which provided proof (which we should have all seen in court but were denied) that hostile foreign powers had manipulated the vote.   We have learned, then, that some people do not care about our elections or about the subversion of them.  This may have been the greatest gift of the Trump term.
