Who is Really Behind This Chaos? ~ Ep. 1285 ~ The Dan Bongino Show®

From the Dan Bongino Show's description of this episode on youtube.com/Bongino or in his Show Notes:
In this episode, I discuss the catastrophe ahead if we lose the 2020 election. I also discuss the four things the media is hiding about “Black Lives Matter.”
Dan definitely explained the situation very well in his first segment. Ladies and gentlemen, we can not afford to be complacent. Making the assumption that it will be a landslide victory for President Donald J. Trump will be at your peril. Our peril... the country's peril. The Demonicrats can do a lot of things, a whole lot of damage as we have seen, with no morals at all, and their lying fake news media cohorts will let it all slide. 

Yeah, like Dan says, the Leftist media will use the "Republican pounce story" when ever Demonicrats are caught between a rock and a hard place, and look very bad.  You know, like the things that the cancel culture says are bad, like wearing the black face, or a Klan robe.  The media will then put out a story about how Republicans pounce on the the stories that look bad for the Demonicrats, in order to make Conservatives look bad for pointing out the Demonicrats did such and such, and the Conservatives are now the bad guys.  Look, shiny red object!

Just listen closely to what Dan tells you that the Demonicrats want to do, and how they will get legislation through if they win back the White House, get the majority in the U. S. Senate, and keep their majority in the House.  It is seriously going to be a dire situation for Conservative Americans, and it could last for generations.  Do you not think the Demonicrats would go to such extremes?  Yes, and look at the way they've been, and it keeps getting worse.  Spygate?  ObamaGate?  Their push for Socialism?  Ending the Electoral College?  Adding Washington D.C. and Puerto Rico as States?  Eliminating the filibuster?  Adding more Justices to the Supreme Court?  Eliminating the 2nd Amendment?

Dan Bongino nails it in this episode.  There is so much more information that he is providing here that you need to see.  I really hope that you'll watch this whole episode.

Harry Reid slips in a bombshell for Obamacare foes

From AmericanThinker.com, with an excerpt from The Weekly Standard
By Rick Moran December 22, 2009 What did we ever do to deserve Harry Reid? When the "manager's amendment" was passed in the dead of night, I pointed out that the wonks had yet to give it a good going over to discern what other surprises might lurk in the convoluted language used to obscure so much in the bill. I'm sure you'll be happy to know that the wonks have not disappointed us. Buried in the amendment is a bombshell; there will be no way to amend parts of Obamacare. Apparently, Reid wants to make this bill something like a royal decree where no one can change what has already been wrought. The Weekly Standard blog has the story:
Senator Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) pointed out some rather astounding language in the Senate health care bill during floor remarks tonight. First, he noted that there are a number of changes to Senate rules in the bill--and it's supposed to take a 2/3 vote to change the rules. And then he pointed out that the Reid bill declares on page 1020 that the Independent Medicare Advisory Board cannot be repealed by future Congresses:
there's one provision that i found particularly troubling and it's under section c, titled "limitations on changes to this subsection." and i quote -- "it shall not be in order in the senate or the house of representatives to consider any bill, resolution, amendment, or conference report that would repeal or otherwise change this subsection." this is not legislation. it's not law. this is a rule change. it's a pretty big deal. we will be passing a new law and at the same time creating a senate rule that makes it out of order to amend or even repeal the law. i'm not even sure that it's constitutional, but if it is, it most certainly is a senate rule. i don't see why the majority party wouldn't put this in every bill. if you like your law, you most certainly would want it to have force for future senates. i mean, we want to bind future congresses. this goes to the fundamental purpose of senate rules: to prevent a tyrannical majority from trampling the rights of the minority or of future co congresses.
