WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN A REAL CIVIL WAR BETWEEN THE LEFT AND AMERICA
“Civil war” has been a term much in use by both the Left and the Right these days. Try a web search on “civil war in America 2020,” and the result is hundreds of links speculating about the “coming war between Left and Right and who will ignite the spark” (and a lot of other related themes).
The Left claim that “white supremacist and white nationalist militias” will get things started, and the legacy media have produced dozens of articles “investigating” militias and propagating that false narrative.
One of the latest investigative reports on Oath Keepers and militias along those lines was published in the November issue of The Atlantic. I maintain that the militia movement is completely different than the caricature that the legacy media have made it out to be. It will blow your mind how different.
RELEASING THE KRAKEN
Sidney Powell, lead lawyer for former National Security Advisor Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Michael Flynn, and Trump’s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani are both alleging that statistical evidence shows hundreds of thousands of votes switched from Trump to the “projected winner” Joe Biden and that President Trump actually won the election in a landslide.“Dominion is running our Election. Rigged! https://t.co/xvwrpLpAZa— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 16, 2020”
On Friday (11/13), Powell told Fox Business host Lou Dobbs that she was about to “release the Kraken” to prove it, saying she could “hardly wait to put forth all the evidence we have collected on Dominion.”
AZENHAS DO MAR
A cliff-top fishing village on the Italian Riviera? Nope, Azenhas (ah-zhane-yas) do Mar – Watermills of the Sea – is on the Portuguese Riviera. This is a magic place of fairy tale castles, thousand year-old fortresses, luxury boutique hotels, fabulous food, great wine, gorgeous beaches, and postcard-perfect scenery everywhere.
The Portuguese people are among the kindest in Europe, while Portugal is one of the safest countries in the world. Of all the planet’s First World countries, it’s hard to find one more calm and serene than here.
If you’d like a personal experience of the best of Portugal, Wheeler Expeditions can arrange it for you. (Glimpses of Our Breathtaking World #87 Photo ©Jack Wheeler)
THE TIBETAN KINGDOM OF LO
This is one of the magical places we experience on our Himalaya Helicopter Expeditions. An independent kingdom for 650 years in the remote Mustang region of Nepal, it is one of the last places of traditional Tibetan culture on earth, unchanged for centuries. There are sky-caves here – apartment complexes carved out of vertical cliffs 2,000 years ago – Drok-pa nomads in the high pastures, spectacular sacred ceremonies, all in a mysteriously beautiful setting where the Himalayas meet the Tibetan Plateau. We’ll be here again next April. (Glimpses of Our Breathtaking World #86 Photo ©Jack Wheeler)

GIRLFRIEND KEEPS REFERRING TO HERSELF AS WIFE-ELECT
Babylon Bee reporting from Dallas TX -- Sources close to Winston Davis say he is baffled as his girlfriend Wendy Fitzpatrick keeps referring to herself as “Wife-Elect” at any and every public gathering with close family and friends.
This awkward situation is happening to Winston despite no clear moment in time in which it ever entered his mind that Wendy was “the one” or that he was even getting close to asking her The Question to make such an interim title even remotely appropriate.
Wendy had even started delegating bridesmaids to begin getting fitted for dresses and unironically telling members of her family that she was setting up an “Office of the Wife-Elect.”
All of Winston’s friends report being confident he will figure out the most effective escape hatch from his predicament.
HALF-FULL REPORT 11/13/20
Why do I think of it now? Because last Monday, I turned 77! Which brought back memories of halcyon days of an America without the cultural annihilation the Left has perpetrated upon it and continues to do so ever more at this moment.
Last Saturday (11/07), the President issued his commemoration of the National Day for the Victims of Communism. He initiated this Presidential Commemoration in 2017 on the centennial of Lenin’s Bolshevik Revolution creating the Soviet Union.
POTUS is here making it very clear he is determined to stop both the oppressive ideology of our foreign enemies who hold over a billion people captive, and the same ideology of our domestic enemies planning to hold 330 million Americans captive.
As we come to the end of this week, 10 days after Election Day, his strategy for achieving the latter is coming into focus
FLASHBACK FRIDAY – THE CRUSADER FORTRESS IN THE CAUCASUS
This is the fortress town of Shatili in an extremely remote Caucasus region in Georgia called Khevsureti. It was built by the Crusaders 1,000 years ago. The Khevsur people who live here trace their ancestry back to these Crusaders and until the 1930s still wore chain mail in feud-battles with other towns. I took this picture in 1991.
American traveler Richard Halliburton (1900–1939) saw and recorded the customs of the Khevsurs in 1935. The Khevsur men, dressed in chain mail and armed with broadswords, wore garments full of decoration made up of crosses and icons. They don’t do that anymore, but they proudly retain their Crusader Christian heritage – for Georgia adopted Christianity in the 4th century AD.

TRUMP’S PENNSYLVANIA LAWSUIT IS BRILLIANT
It was filed in federal court, not state. The gist is that some of the state's actions, and particularly the exclusion of Republican poll-watchers during the counting of hundreds of thousands of mail-in ballots, violated federal constitutional requirements.
The point is obvious enough once one thinks of it, but it's brilliant all the same. It shifts the focus from state law, where a politicized Pennsylvania court has the last word, to federal law, where the U.S. Supreme Court rules.
As for the obviousness of the point, consider as a thought experiment a state law requiring that all votes be counted in secret by an unelected board named by the party in power. Could it survive a constitutional challenge?
