WNU Editor: I watched a few live-streams on what was happening on the streets of Washington DC last night. The video below is of them. What's my take. What is happening on the streets of Washington DC is not the narrative that the media is portraying. These are not protesters. These are people whose priority is mayhem and violence.

Unfortunately if the US military leadership had their way about this I truly believe they would deploy the military in support of BLM and ANTIFA with orders to the personnel under their command to shoot to kill any property owner who gets in the way and to provide cover for the looters/rioters.
General Miley says the US military will not get involved. I interpret this as a signal that the military leadership is perfectly okay with the Democrats stealing the election
Stealing the election is the only way they win. Therefore they shall attempt it. Are the military personnel under the command of the leaders willing to tolerate this? Will they be willing to disobey the orders of their officers in order to preserve our democracy?
If president elect Biden at the behest of his handlers makes an impassioned plea for the "Insurrection Act" to deal with the pesky property owners and others who wish to stay alive, obviously the military leadership will order the troops to open fire on them in support of BLM and ANTIFA. What will the troops do? Stay tuned!!
Trump is behaving like a man who truly thinks he's going to win!! Maybe he knows something I don't!!
If this is about how bad America is or America;s original sin, yada, yada, yada, then how come the same BS is happening in Canada. Trudeau is not Trump. He is the opposite. Yet this is happening in Canada too.
Maybe this is not about what they say it is about.
Maybe we can g Russian on these people an internally exile them to Nunavut.After getting together with the Canadians of course.
What's worse is that while the Liberals play the little boy who wet the bed (nothing to say) about Sir John A's statue, the twittersphere was lit up again regarding the the Deputy PM/Finance Minister's white washing of her West Ukrainian grandfather's collaboration with the Nazis. Canada also has an issue with statues/monuments to collaborators-such as those who served in SS Galicia Division- set up by the right nationalist Ukrainian diaspora -
but it's all "ststemic racism" and #woke out of the gov.
Liberals are so full of shit....
