THE DOCUMENTS for 'Civil War: The Left's Election-Night War Game'

If you watched tonight's show, I hope you took notes, because you need to be prepared for what's coming on election night. We're going to look into the future. Everything I'm about to show you was planned out in advance. As I've been laying out over the past couple of weeks, members of the Obama Administration and State Department wrote the playbook for Color Revolution in the streets. We've seen it play out over the past 3 years, and it culminates on November 3rd.

WATCH: Civil War: The Left's Election-Night War Game

I truly hope none of this happens, but there's no getting around the fact that multiple scenarios have been game planned for election night. There are 7 pillars in a Color Revolution and the first four I previously covered were all about the set up, but now I'm going to show you what they have planned for the execution. As I've been pointing out for over a year now regarding Ukraine, everything always comes back to the relationship between high ranking Democrats and George Soros.

This document serves as Doc Brown's Delorian. It's the left's election night playbook prepared by an organization called The Transition Integrity Project. Its founder is a woman named Rosa Brooks. She's a law professor and columnist that actually worked for the Pentagon from 2009 to 2011. And it should be no surprise that one of her old bosses was... George Soros. I mean, it's almost laughable at this point how blatant they are.

This is an email that was part of the Podesta hack revealed by Wikileaks. Brooks emailed Podesta, referencing a meeting they both attended with George Soros. She ended with an offer of help:

Let me know if there is anything I can do to be helpful to you and Jake.

"Jake" is Jake Sullivan, who worked for Joe Biden when he was vice president, Hillary Clinton, and is now back with Biden as part of his team. So here we have Brooks and the Transition Integrity Project, who claim to be TOTALLY non-partisan, attending big-wig meetings with Democrats at George Soros' house, and offering their help to both John Podesta and Jake Sullivan. Was producing the Preventing a Disrupted Presidential Election and Transition document part of that support?

I showed you last week that the left used that research to wargame everything they're planning to do on election night. The organization that convened the wargame was a group called Fight Back Table, convened, organized and paid for by George Soros.

Again, they don't even try to hide it. This is Soros' organization, Democracy Alliance, where they proudly boast that Fight Back Table is their initiative.

This is entirely a Soros run operation here. His former employee, who still attends high level meetings with both him and top Democrats, wrote the playbook, and Soros' organization sponsored the wargame.

The event was split between two sides: Team Trump and Team Biden. Take note of some of the participants because you're sure to hear from them on November 3rd.

On the "GOP" side, attendees included people like Bill Kristol and former RNC chairman Michael Steele.

That right there should tell you everything you need to know about the Lincoln Project. Not only are they teaming up with Democrats, they're in league with George Soros for crying out loud!

The "REPUBLICANS" also had the former Kentucky secretary of state Trey Grayson in attendance. Guess what he's been writing op-eds about lately?

Yeah... how mail-in-voting is so crucial this year. The hubris of these people is insane. I don't think I've ever seen such a blatant and obvious conspiracy just laid out there for the entire world to see. It's amazing.

For Team Biden, he was represented by people like John Podesta and the former DNC chairman Donna Brazile. But it also included multiple other participants from various backgrounds:

Other participants included political strategists, JOURNALISTS, polling experts, TECH AND SOCIAL MEDIA EXPERTS, and former career officials from the intelligence community, the Justice Department, the military and the Department of Homeland Security.

I almost don't even know where to start with that. They ALL sound crazy, but let's center in on journalists and social media because that goes directly to pillar number 5:

Enough independent media to inform citizens about the falsified vote.

It's a meme at this point to criticize the mainstream media on their bias.

It's a meme at this point to criticize the mainstream media on their bias. We all know it exists and that they're comfortably in bed with the left. But there's a lot more going on here than just your typical left wing bias. They've entered a new phase. Just look at the cover up over any mention at of what's currently happening.

Newt Gingrich mentioned the holy name "Soros", and immediately got shut down... ON FOX! The New York Times called me a conspiracy theorist for talking about Soros' influence over the media. Where's the conspiracy?!

It's well known that Soros funds David Brock and Media Matters with millions. Brock has bragged that his organization directly influences the media. This is an excerpt from a leaked email released by Wikileaks. They bragged that they conducted:

"over 900 on-the-record and off-the-record media interviews" and sent "80 sets of talking points, background materials and briefings on topical issues, 372 surrogates, including influential and frequent pundits on broadcast and cable news." It also sent "media advisories" and "talking points" to "960 members of the national media and 10,756 regional reporters in 28 states," and to "369 televisions producers and bookers."

Soros has financial ties to more than 30major news organizations.

NPR was even caught by Project Veritas of trying to cover up their relationship with him.

This is how you buy the media and control the narrative. This gives Soros, and the left, the ability to cover up anything they want to.

And speaking of cover up. Did you see this from Vox?

They're actually trying to say that we are the ones setting the stage for revolution. Let me get this straight: If I point out what the left is currently doing... I'm the one at fault?

We're entering a new ballgame with the media. They clearly have their talking points, and you'll see it play out all the way through election night. Did you see how they all pounced last week over the claim that Trump wouldn't commit to a peaceful transition of power?

It's so ridiculous, but almost EVERY mainstream outlet picked it up and ran. They're acting as if Trump said he'd barricade himself in the White House if he lost. That's not what he said! He said there would be a continuation because of all the mail-in ballots. That's literally the same thing the Democrats are saying... they just twisted Trump's response, and it was a total set up question for all of them to immediately jump on.

Look at this from page one of the Transition Integrity Project's report:

The concept of "election night," is no longer accurate and indeed is dangerous. We face a period of contestation stretching from the first day a ballot is cast in mid-September until January 20. The winner may not, and we assess likely will not, be known on "election night" as officials count mail-in ballots.

It's basically the same thing Trump was talking about, but with one key difference: The left isn't concerned at all of fraud surrounding mail-in ballots. Now, in any sane environment, this would probably kick off a few warning bells. Especially when we see things like this.

Or what about the military ballots cast for Trump that were discarded? And these are just stories that dropped over the past few days. There's no telling how bad it's going to get... but the left isn't worried one bit.

Interesting...

If you're curious as to what the media is preparing to do leading up to and on election night, you needn't look further than this piece from the Washington Post over the weekend:

It's abundantly clear that Trump plans to fabricate an election "emergency." First, he claimed mail-in balloting, a tried-and-true system, is fraudulent. Now his supporters are trying to harass in-person voters.

Shooting down all questions regarding the mail-in ballots is priority number one. Media priority number two is framing Trump's attempts to ensure the ballots are legitimate as a constitutional crisis. And priority number three is... well look at this next quote:

Let's be clear. There is only one political party in American politics embracing violence. There is only one side refusing to denounce all political violence.

What world is this intended for?! Republicans have condemned the violence since day one. It was the left that refused to speak out against ANTIFA and BLM. In fact, violence is part of their election night strategy, and blaming it on the right is part of that plan.

Pillar 6 is where preparation turns into action:

A political opposition capable of mobilizing tens of thousands or more demonstrators to protest electoral fraud.

You need a network of fully trained and organized street soldiers to apply the necessary bottom up pressure for any of this to work.

I'm constantly amazed over all the topics I've covered over my career that are now coming back into play the more we research what's happening right now. I remember watching the Arab Spring play out in places like Egypt, and then predicting the coming caliphate and the waves of civil unrest that would eventually make its way here. People laughed it off... there goes crazy Glenn Beck again! But the caliphate came, and now we have rioting in our streets.

We later found out that the Obama State Department was training activists through Civil Society 2.0, and George Soros was working right alongside them.

I remember watching Occupy Wallstreetand thinking there was more to come.

This is the original ad that kicked off Occupy. Notice what they list as their inspiration:

Are you ready for a Tahrir moment?

Tahrir, as in the part of the Arab Spring that toppled the Egyptian Government.

The Arab Spring inspired Occupy, and Occupy would become the inspiration for the national hub of left wing activists... the Action Network.

This is the hub for nearly every major street movement over the past several years.

The Action Network was started by a former John Kerry staffer, named Brian Young, when he was frustrated that Occupy Wallstreet fizzled out.

They had a lot of events, they got a lot of attention for around two months, but then it just kind of faded. A platform like ours could have really kept it alive.

The Action Network is like a new and improved Tides Foundation. They're the focal point, and nearly every other major protest and organizing player in the game revolves around them.

Their address is at 1900 L Street in D.C.

That's also the address of the largest immigrant youth-led organization in the country. Wanna guess where they get their funding?

Yeah... spooky dude.

They also share an address with a group called Change To Win, who are affiliated with both the SEIU and the Teamsters. Huh... isn't that convenient?

But that doesn't even come close to the list of mainstream left wing organizations that the Action Network is tied to.

Their 2018 990 IRS form shows partnerships with both — get this — the National Education Association, the largest union in the country, and the AFL-CIO, the largest federation of unions in the United States.

I wonder... how many police unions are part of the AFL-CIO? I'm gonna go out on a limb here and guess that NONE of them realize that they're unwittingly paying dues to an organization that is partnered with The Action Network who is actively organizing events to defund the police.

Try and noodle this one: The AFL-CIO is partnered with Action Network, who is helping to defund the police, and is ALSO hosting petitions for the AFL-CIO to drop police unions. Uhhhhh... conflict of interest?

And as all this is happening at Action Network, guess who just announced a major partnership with them...

The DNC.

I wonder if the DNC knows that Action Network hosts an international ANTIFA defence fund? Totally being rhetorical... I'm pretty sure they know.

Literally all the bases are covered through Action Network. Most of the protests and street movements we see to this very day are being organized through their site. Their partnerships and ties to the largest unions in the country as well as the DNC prove that either the Democrat party is either part of or, at least, condones what's going on.

But I'm not even close to being finished. If you look through the Action Network's site, another big name jumps out.

Multiple entries for Organizing for Action. And who's group is that?

And people actually criticize me for talking about top down bottom up. Obama was building it back in 2008! Back then it was called Obama For America, and it was supposed to be shuddered at the end of Obama's second term. But guess who won the 2016 election and turned everything upside down?

The now renamed Organizing For Action re-launched and set their sites directly on Donald Trump. Again, this is not a conspiracy theory.

The media was reporting on this back in 2017.

Obama is the only former president to remain in Washington D.C. No one in the media thought it was weird. No one in the media pointed out the fact that the former president was remaining to launch an all out assault on his successor.

Obama's little army even produced a "training manual" specifically on how to protest Trump. The manual describes in detail how organizers should flood events in red states to make it appear that Trump was more unpopular than he actually was. It called for "unfavorable exchanges caught on video" and that the goal was to:

Make Republicans, even from safe districts, second-guess their support for the Trump agenda.

Obama's group teamed up with Indivisible to produce the manual.

The material was used in town hall meetings all over the country, sometimes devolving into intimidation and violence. And guess who cheered on Indivisible's campaign to resist Trump?

The Action Network.

We're so far behind on this. It all culminates over the next month. As the founder of Action network recently said:

In some ways, we've just been road testing everything for two years, building up to this moment.

The organization has been built and tested, but the game fully kicks off on November 3rd. We know the future, and we can plan for every step of what they have cooked up... point by point.

Democrats and Republicans from the Lincoln Project — ok so basically all Democrats — wargamed four possible scenarios.

  • Game One: An Ambiguous Result
  • Game Two: A Clear Biden Victory
  • Game Three: A Clear Trump Win
  • Game Four: A Narrow Biden Win

No matter what happens on November 3rd, the left is looking to make gains. It just goes to show you the hypocrisy in the name of this document "Transition Integrity". What they have planned has nothing at all to do with transition integrity. They either want to win, and fundamentally change the country, or — if they lose — they still plan on fundamentally changing the country.

The inspiration for their plans should scare the hell out of you, and it's mentioned on the very first page:

The closest analogy may be the election of 1876, a time of extreme partisanship and rampant disenfranchisement, where multiple states proffered competing slates of electors, and the election was only resolved through a grand political bargain days before Inauguration.

See if this sounds familiar.

In 1876, Republicans controlled both the presidency and the Senate, but Democrats had taken back the House. On election night, the Republican candidate, Rutherford B. Hayes had a slight Electoral College victory, with his opponent leading in the popular vote. In several states, the vote counts were highly disputed.

What followed was the Compromise of 1877. Democrats agreed to concede but only if Republicans would agree to end Reconstruction in the South. Hayes relented, becoming president but opening op Jim Crow Laws in the South. Democrats doing what they do best... revealing their racism and holding people down.

This is their inspiration and it's not a strategy from people that think they're going to win!

Before I go over the 4 scenarios, take a look at some of the things listed as things they are preparing for in advance.

They're organizing a list of a thousand influencers to push the claim that Trump is trying to steal the election. You can expect a heavy dose of Hollywood and social media. On page seven, they're recruiting "moderate Republican Governors" to form their own coalition as well as readying a capital strike and work stoppage to pressure companies.

As I showed you earlier, the left has been busy building a network of street activists for years. On election night, they plan to unleash them. Look at this from page 9:

Team Biden almost always called for and relied on mass protests to demonstrate the public's commitment to a "legitimate" outcome... the possibility for violence will increase significantly.

The classic leftist playbook, but look how they plan on framing it.

President Trump and his more fervent supporters have every incentive to try to turn peaceful proBiden (or anti-Trump) protests violent in order to generate evidence that a Democratic victory is tantamount to "mob rule."

Oh they expect violence, but when it goes down, they'll blame Trump agitators. In what world is this even believable? Who's been responsible for all the violence over the past few months? Are we supposed to believe that the Tea Party will go undercover in black bloc and start chucking molotov cocktails? As ridiculous as this may sound, something like that is exactly the story they'll try and weave.

The first wargame resulted in an utter nightmare. They called it an "Ambiguous Result" with both candidates declaring victory. If the results show both trump and Biden neck and neck, you can expect to see these things happen:

  • Both candidates will declare victory. The Biden campaign immediately deploys their list of one thousand "influencers" to hit the social and mainstream media waves. Now it doesn't mention it here, but what do you want to bet that people like me or Tucker Carlson will get heavily throttled or shadow banned? They'll have a voice... but we won't.
  • The Biden campaign then unleashes what they call their "peaceful rallies", but - as I showed you earlier in the document - they fully expect them to become violent.
  • The left expects Trump to respond by federalizing the National Guard and invoking the Insurrection Act. Tell me… why would he have to do that if what they have planned is "peaceful"?

The game continues with a hypothetical scenario in Michigan where a Trump supporter destroys some ballots, tipping the state for the president. Because of that, the Governor of Michigan decides to send pro-Biden delegates to Washington. So we've got two things of note there: the use of an act of sabotage — something the right is rarely guilty of, but we can't say that about the left — and a state governor defying the results. I'm telling you, they're pulling out every dirty trick in the arsenal... and this was just the first scenario!

Scenario two was somewhat uneventful: A clear Biden victory.

In other words, Biden wins in a blowout. The Democrats think that if this happens that Trump will have no leverage to contest anything. It's actually kind of funny, and you can really see the bias from the Lincoln Project stooges sitting at the table. It actually includes Trump going to Mar-A-Lago to pursue "murky overseas business deals," and launching "MAGA TV." I kid you not. But I think someone should remind them that the king of "murky overseas business deals" is Joe Biden. China? Ukraine? 3.5 million from a corrupt Moscow oligarch? Come on guys...

Game three is what, I think, is most likely what we'll see go down: A clear Trump win.

The scenario assumes Trump takes an Electoral College victory, but loses the popular vote. This is clearly what Democrats think will happen as well. It's why they took inspiration from the election of 1876. Tell me if " transition" is what they're most concerned about here...

Right from the get go, the Biden campaign sends the masses out into the streets. Look how the left frames what happens:

The Trump Campaign planted agent provocateurs into the protests throughout the country to ensure these protests turned violent and helped further the narrative of a violent insurrection.

Rioting and looting will commence, violence will ensue, and who will get the blame? Trump supporters.

Rioting and looting will commence, violence will ensue and who will get the blame? Trump supporters. Get ready because, if everything kicks off as planned, it's going to happen.

The plan then appears to have Biden conceding, but then making a very public retraction:

It capitalized on the public's outrage that for the third time in 20 years a candidate lost the popular vote but won the Electoral College.

This is key for later in the scenario. This has nothing to do with transition integrity, and everything to do with shredding the constitution and our country.

The next stage in the plan has Democrats leveraging their "coalition of governors" to immediately ask for recounts in multiple states. In some of those cases, the governors completely ignore the results and send Biden electors instead.

This is just turn one of the wargame. At the end, this is what they list as to what they can successfully cook up:

At the end of the first turn, the country was in the midst of a full-blown constitutional crisis characterized by: 1) Political chaos; 2) Widespread threats of violence, and sporadic actual violence in the streets; and 4) A hostile, dangerous, highly-partisan, and frequently unconstrained information and media environment.

In summation... absolute chaos. This is what they want to sow on election night, even though Trump has clearly won.

The Biden campaign then announces that they have convinced California, Oregon and Washington to secede unless Congress agrees to fundamentally change the United States of America. I'm not kidding around here... This is their plan! Using that leverage, take a look at this INSANE list of demands.

  1. Give statehood to Washington, D.C. and Puerto Rico.
  2. Divide California into five states to more accurately represent its population in the Senate. (Interesting... they don't request the same for Texas. I wonder why…)
  3. Require Supreme Court justices to retire at 70.
  4. Eliminate the Electoral College.

So... the compromise of 1877 2.0. And we know how that one turned out. The scary thing is that this scenario is clearly what they EXPECT to happen. It's their most likely outcome. Violence, chaos, constitutional crisis and the end of the United States as we know it. It's right there in black and white. We had better start taking them at their word because they're not playing around anymore.

Game four, a narrow Biden win, wasn't as crazy as what they have in store for if Trump wins, but that right there should tell you what they have planned for if Biden wins. All those lists of demands will get pushed through. So regardless, their plans are to destroy America. But I do want to point out a few things.

Democrats fully expect Trump to investigate the large amounts of mail-in ballots, and they're geared up to stop any action the DOJ might initiate. They don't expect Biden to officially be declared the winner until at least a week after the election.

Check this out:

The Trump Campaign stoked chaos and mayhem by urging local police forces to break up Black Lives Matter and pro-Biden demonstrations and encouraging Alt Right / Boogaloo supporters to confront liberal protestors.

Democrats will have rioters in the streets in all scenarios, but the blame will be thrust on Trump. This theme is constant throughout the entire document.

Later in the scenario, the Biden campaign again called for massive civil unrest to continue, where they admit:

Violent skirmishes and vandalism took place during these demonstrations.

Didn't they already make a movie called The Purge: Election Year? Someone tell the Democrats that movies aren't supposed to be real. How else can you describe this? Their plan, in their own words, is to call for civil unrest when they fully expect them to devolve into violence. It's so blatant, if I didn't read it here with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it.

Let's go back to the Obama administration's 7 Pillars.

Number 7: Divisions among the regimes' coercive forces.

As I told you two weeks ago, what they mean by this is the police and military. In order for everything I just showed you to successfully be pulled off, they need the police diminished and the military conflicted. They can't have police dispersing the riots, and they sure as heck can't have the National Guard moving in to support them. There were multiple mentions of National Guard troops in the wargame.

And the attack on the police has continued. Multiple officers were shot in Louisville during the Breonna Taylor riots.

One officer was clubbed in the head with a baseball bat last week in Seattle. Now imagine what's going to happen on election night...

The mainstream media continues to make the case that the military is divided against Trump. Take a look at this excerpt from the fourth wargame where Biden ekes out a narrow win:

A critical moment in the game play was the Joint Chiefs of Staff leaking that internal discussions had taken place about how to handle the escalating situation, including the consideration of resigning in protest of Trump's continued efforts to sow unrest. The leak indicated that the Joint Chiefs' commitment was to the Constitution rather than to the President.

This is a signal. Get on board and get in line.

If the left has their way... this is our future. I hope not, but it's kind of hard to argue that any of this is hyperbolic or conspiracy theory when it's right there in black and white in their own words. I'm revealing all of this... not to cause an uproar. We need the opposite. We need to be level headed. We need to know what they are planning so we can defeat their ideas with our own. When they call for people to hit the streets, we need to show this information with everyone we know. Show them that it was their plan, and that they want to provoke a response. Don't give it. I hope that the Trump team has this information and has made plans. The fate of our country is at stake.

If the left has their way... this is our future.

With the passing of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, there is now the complicated added layer of nominating a replacement for her just weeks before an election. The left is losing its mind over this already.

So, what can you do about any of this? First, vote of course. In-person, at a polling place is the best bet for making sure your vote counts. Democrats have made it sound like polling locations are Republican COVID death traps, yet people somehow manage to survive going to Wal-Mart every day. With so many places offering early voting options now, you will be able to vote in-person if you want to.

Democrats have made it sound like polling locations are Republican COVID death traps...

Especially if the election is close, we know the Color Revolution crowd will pull out all the stops to litigate the results.

Biden's team has already hired 600 lawyers to do just that if necessary. So patience will be required. It will likely take several weeks to get an official result. There will likely be instances of fraud, missing ballots, and found ballots. It will be extremely frustrating.

But regardless of the result, take the high road. Consider taking a social media sabbatical until the storm blows over. At the very least, don't share election rumors. Resist joining mobs — even if it's your favorite team.

I'm not saying roll over and be docile lambs. But we cannot mirror the "burn it down" crowd, because that crowd always fails in the end. Wherever you find yourself, whether in the halls of power or your regular workplace, be the adult in the room. There are much bigger issues at stake here than any one candidate.

Then, get involved at your local level. Support law enforcement. Become an election official. Run for the school board. Give to organizations defending life and liberty.

Do whatever you can to promote the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. If our current national turmoil proves anything, it's that we DO NOT know the Constitution. Work to reverse that trend in your community.

America's past and present failures are not a predictor of our future success. Commit to being the people that embody the mission President Lincoln proposed at the end of his second inaugural address:

With malice toward none; with charity for all... let us strive on to finish the work we are in; to bind up the nation's wounds... to do all which may achieve and cherish a just, and a lasting peace, among ourselves, and with all nations.

And finally, pray hard for grace and peace to reign. Appeal to God to have mercy on this nation that we love in spite of itself.


PHOTOS: What Glenn saw in North Carolina was INSANE

Sean Rayford / Stringer | Getty Images

Last Thursday, October 3rd, Glenn traveled to North Carolina to join Mercury One as they provided critical aid to those devastated by Hurricane Helene.

What Glenn saw during his brief visit looked like scenes straight out of an apocalypse movie: houses torn from their foundations and tossed to the side, sometimes entire towns away from where they were built, semi-trucks rolled, railroad tracks swept away, bridges washed out. It was a level of destruction Glenn had never before seen.

But perhaps the most shocking encounter of his whole trip was when Glenn discovered a lone FEMA crew. It was a miracle that Glenn even spotted the FEMA truck, as it was parked away from the main road without any signs or markers to indicate to any passerby in need of its existence. Glenn and Congressman Cory Mills decided to talk to this FEMA crew, the only one they had encountered on their trek, and see what they were up to. As it turns out, not much. The FEMA workers admitted that they had only arrived the day before (nearly a week after the hurricane) and still did not have any sort of supplies. They claimed that people would know where they were located via the local news, despite the fact that most people did not have access to power, cell service, their home, or even their cars. Moreover, there seemed to be confusion about whether they were to go door-to-door in order to render aid to those in need.

FEMA dropped the ball on this entire affair, and it is only going to get worse. FEMA is claiming they blew their yearly allowance on aiding illegal immigrants. Meanwhile, another hurricane is approaching Florida and is expected to make landfall on Wednesday. It seems unlikely that FEMA will be of any use to Floridians in need, and they will have to rely on the aid of their fellow Americans.

Want to help out your fellow countrymen where our government has failed? You can donate at Mercury One and rest assured that your money will be used to step in to help hurricane victims where the government is failing.

The case for mass deportation

NurPhoto / Contributor | Getty Images

Unchecked illegal immigration into America may be the most dangerous issue our country faces today, and with every day it goes unsolved, the risk of a terrorist attack of 9/11 proportions only increases.

Despite the risk, we can't even touch the subject without the Left and the mainstream media having a meltdown. Even suggesting that the tide of undocumented immigrants may pose some sort of national problem will quickly get you labeled as a racist, stumping intelligent conversation before it can even begin. But as any right-minded Conservative will tell you, calls to close the border and deport the people who stole into our country have nothing to do with race.

In his most recent TV special, Glenn described in detail what sorts of dangers we have let into our countries, with facts and figures that prove that if we don't act soon we will be in deep trouble. Glenn made it clear: we need to conduct a mass deportation or risk being torn apart from within. Here are three reasons that make the case for mass deportations:

Islamic terror cells are forming in South America.

Congressional testimony from the Committee on Homeland Security in 2011 revealed that Hugo Chavez held a "Secret Summit" involving the Supreme Leader of Hamas, the Chief of Operations for Hezbollah, and the Secretary General of Palestinian Islamic Jihad in Caracas, Venezuela. It is clear that ever since (and possibly before) there has been a Radical Islamic Terrorist presence in Venezuela. Right now there is an Iranian beachhead off the Venezuelan coast on Margarita Island, where the Iranian government is running criminal activities and recruiting and training Venezuelan gangs. These gangs have used our border crisis to infiltrate the U.S. The most infamous of these gangs, Tren de Aragua, has been declared a terrorist organization by the State of Texas.

Terrorist-backed gangs are smuggling in weapons and tearing through the country.

What are these Iranian-trained and backed gangs doing in America? As you can imagine, nothing good. Just this year alone an estimated million rounds of ammunition, 1.2 million gun parts, 3,000 body armor vests, and thousands of pieces of other military paraphernalia have been smuggled across the border. On top of that, they have already taken over an apartment complex in Aurora, Colorado, and are now terrorizing the remaining residents.

It's noteworthy that the gang managed to move into the apartment in the first place because they received subsidies through an NGO that was assisting the Colorado asylum seekers program, using money given to the state by the Biden administration in 2021.

Gangs have attacked military bases.

It hasn't stopped at apartment complexes either. A leak from the U.S. Army revealed that the gangs have launched probing attacks on military facilities within the U.S. Members have been sighted taking surveillance photos of Lackland Air Force Base, as well as firing multiple shots into the facility. Another military base in Texas, Fort Sam Houston, caught a gang member attempting to gain access to the facility. This coincides with suspicious activity documented within the Permian Basin, the largest oil field in the U.S.

They are smuggling in vast quantities of military equipment, probing and surveying military facilities and key energy locations, and taking over residential areas. What exactly is going on and why isn't the federal government taking it more seriously?

VP debate recap: A Vance victory

Bloomberg / Contributor | Getty Images

This might have been the most consequential VP debate in recent memory.

For those of you who missed the debate, it was a decisive victory for J.D. Vance and the Trump-Vance team as a whole. Vance presented a calm, collected, and considerate side of the Republican party that compliments Trump and helps to make their platform more palatable. Meanwhile, Tim Walz had a lackluster, though certainly not catastrophic, night. He had a few embarrassing gaffes and came across as overly nervous, but like Vance, kept it civil.

Both VP candidates entered the stage as relative unknowns to most Americans, and by the end, both men had given an accurate representation of their characters. Here is a brief recap just in case you missed the debate:

J.D. Vance looked great

ANGELA WEISS / Contributor | Getty Images

Vance came out of the gate swinging, with a stellar opening statement that helped set the stage for the rest of the debate. He delivered a concise yet compelling recap of his life, which framed him as everything Walz claims to be: a relatable veteran from humble beginnings who earned his position through hard work and service. He then went on to deliver a clear and palatable defense of Trump's platform and mission while cooly drawing attention to the failures of the Biden-Harris administration.

Overall, J.D. Vance looked incredibly presidential. He presented himself not just as a capable vice president, but as a strong successor to Trump and as a valid replacement if anything should happen to the former president between now and the end of his hypothetical second term. Vance also successfully dispelled the notion that he is "weird" as Walz called him, and if anyone looked strange during the debate, it certainly wasnot Vance.

Tim Walz's gaffes

While Tim Walz certainly didn't have an awful night, he did not stack up well against Vance. Walz had a major gaffe around halfway through the debate when asked to explain the change in his position on assault weapon bans. Walz then claimed that he had befriended school shooters during his time in office. While that was clearly not the intention of what he was saying, it was embarrassing nonetheless.

Another weak moment was when the moderators asked Walz to explain a claim he had made regarding being in Hong Kong during the infamous Tiananmen Square protest in 1989, which has since been proven false. Walz gave a long-winded, rambling answer about taking students to visit China and how Trump should have joined in on those trips, before being called out by the moderator for dodging the question.

Vance fact-checked the fact-checkers

One of the conditions of the CBS debate was that the moderators would not fact-check the debaters live, but instead rely on after-the-matter fact-checking. But, CBS couldn't keep to its own rules. While Vance was describing the migrant crisis that has swelled during the Biden-Harris administration, one of the CBS moderators, Margaret Brennan, chimed in with a "fact check." She claimed that the Haitian migrants in Ohio have legal status, to which Vance clapped back by calling Brennan out for breaking the rules of the debate, then proceeded to correct her, explaining that they only had legal status due to overreach by the Biden-Harris administration.

Dockworker strike: Everything you need to know

At midnight on September 30th, dockworkers across the East Coast went on strike, effectively cutting the country's import and export capabilities in half.

Don't go out and panic buy a pallet of toilet paper and instant ramen just yet. It's going to take some time for the full effects of the strike to be felt and hopefully, the strike will be good and over by then. But there are no guarantees, and this election cycle could get significantly more insane as we draw near to the election. And even if the strike is settled quickly, it shows growing cracks in our infrastructure and industrial capacity that needs to be addressed if America wants to maintain its global dominance.

Here is everything you need to know about the dockworker strike:

What do the dockworkers want?

As with most strikes, pay is the driving factor behind this situation the country now finds itself in. The longshoremen want more pay, and with rising inflation who can blame them? After all, working the docks is hard and dangerous business, and fair compensation only seems... fair. But when you compare the wage of a dockworker, which is around $100,000 to $200,00 a year to the average income in America of $56,000, suddenly they seem significantly less sympathetic.

How much money are they asking for? For most Americans, a three percent raise is considered high, but the unions are asking up to 15 percent, depending on location. On top of that, they are asking for a 77 percent raise over the next six years. The West Coast dock workers recently made off with a 36 percent raise and were considered lucky. These increases in costs are just going to be transferred to the end consumer, and we'll likely see a jump in prices if these terms are accepted.

The other major ticket item is protection against automation. Autonomous ports are quickly becoming a reality, with major ports in China that are capable of handling vast amounts of cargo being run by a single office, not an army of dock workers. Naturally, the longshoremen are concerned that their jobs are at risk of being replaced by machines that can work harder, longer, for cheaper, and without risk of injury.

How will it affect Americans?

Don't panic yet!

It is going to take some time for consumers to feel the effects of the strike and it is possible that a resolution could happen at any time.

Week one should be pretty much business as usual. It might be a good idea to stock up on fruit and other perishables, but there is no need to go COVID-lockdown-crazy yet.

Week two is when you'll first start feeling the pinch. Fresh fruits and veggies will become scarce, along with other imported goods like shoes, toys, and TVs. Prices will start to creep up as the shelves will start to look a little sparse. The supply of tools, lumber, and other hardware materials will also begin to dry up.

By week three, the cracks in the system will really start to show. Entire industries will begin to slow down, or even stop. Factory workers will get furloughed and sent home without pay. Stores will have to ration items, prices will be sky-high, and online orders will come to a standstill. At this point, the strike will have escalated into a full-blown crisis, and even if it was resolved immediately, it would still take weeks to restore everything to working order.

At the four-week mark, the situation will have developed into a national security crisis, and as Glenn describes, a poly-crisis. Small business will be closing their doors, entire brands will be out of stock, and everything that remains will be so expensive it is unaffordable. By this point, the holiday season will be drawing near and there will be a rush on any sort of gift or decor items left. At this point, irreparable damage to our economy will have occurred and it will be months if not years before it can be mended.

While that sounds bleak, with the election just around the corner, it seems unlikely that the Biden-Harris administration will let it get that bad. That being said, their administration has not been characterized by good decision-making and reasonable policy, so there are no guarantees.

What can be done?

The big question is "Why hasn't Biden already done something?"

President Biden, who ran on the image of a blue-collar, union-worker, has been uncharacteristically absent from the issue. Despite his earlier involvement in a train strike, Biden has declared that involvement in union fights is not a presidential issue unless it getsreally bad.

So where's the line? At what point will he step in? He has to understand that an economic crisis right before the election will reflect poorly on Kamala.
