  1. According to this article Donald Trump could legally be prevented after his election from taking the office of president if Congress chose to declare him an insurrection its.

    Could Donald Trump be prevented from becoming president even if he wins the election?

    It sounds outrageous but it’s a real possibility. Let’s back up and review how we got to this point.

    For months, Trump has been savagely attacked with lawfare tactics in an effort to bring him down. One of the more technical lawfare attacks occurred earlier this year with the effort to remove him from the presidential ballot in numerous states in reliance on Section 3 of the 14th Amendment.

    Section 3 bars insurrectionists from holding federal office. That section was enacted after the Civil War to prevent Confederate military officers and civilian officials from holding office in the United States. Many reprieves were granted by Congress. Even Robert E. Lee was excused from its application posthumously. The last case using this section was brought in the 1930s, almost a century ago, and the government lost that case.

    So, Section 3 had been considered a dead letter today. Still, the progressive legal squad dusted it off and tried to use it against Trump. The Supreme Court ruled that states do not have the power to use Section 3 in federal elections.

    But the ruling left open the possibility that the U.S. Congress could pass legislation to use Section 3 itself. That means the insurrection clause is not a dead letter but another lawfare weapon waiting in the wings. For more on this, please review this article

    How It Would Work

    Here’s how the insurrection clause could be used to prevent Trump from becoming president even if he wins the election…

    Assume Trump wins the election on November 5 (likely in my view). Also, assume the Democrats take control of the House of Representatives in that election. The Electoral College votes are certified by the states on December 8 and then sent to Congress for a final count.

    The new Congress is sworn in on January 5, 2025. The Electoral College votes are counted on January 6, 2025. The new president is not scheduled to be sworn in until January 20, 2025.

    Sometime between being sworn in and counting the Electoral College votes, the new Democrat House of Representatives could pass a resolution stating that Trump is an insurrectionist and is disqualified from becoming president.

    The Supreme Court left the door open to such a resolution. At that point, the House could refuse to count any Electoral College votes for Trump. In the final count, Trump would get zero votes and Kamala Harris would have less than the 270 votes needed to become president.

    At that point, the selection of a president would be thrown to the floor of the House (as happened in 1800 and 1826) and the House members voting not as individuals but as state delegations would choose the president. Trump would not be eligible in this scenario, but a Republican would be the likely winner because Republicans control more state delegations even as the Democrats have more individual votes.

    A compromise candidate would be the likely winner, perhaps JD Vance or Ron DeSantis. The point would be to eliminate Trump.

    There seem to be no limits on the lengths to which progressives, radicals and their lawfare enablers will go to destroy their political opponents.

    Lavrentiy Beria, head of the Soviet secret police (NKVD) under Stalin, once said, “Show me the man and I’ll show you the crime.” He meant that if you target an individual, it’s not difficult to fabricate a crime even if the target is innocent.

    The accusation, arrest, and trial are enough to destroy most people emotionally and financially regardless of the technical outcome. If you combine this process with corrupt prosecutors and judges, then the destruction of the target is assured.

    Such abuse of process is against the 5th, 6th, and 14th Amendments of the Constitution, which offer a presumption of innocence, right to counsel, right to know the charges against you, and due process of law. But the lawfare gang doesn’t care about the Constitution. They just want to destroy their targets. In this sense, the political targets are not the only victims. The law itself is a victim. That threatens everybody and the country itself.

    What happens if the Dems try to block Trump from taking office? Riots in the streets… social unrest at unprecedented levels… martial law… and what could be a market crash of epic proportions. So, what can you do to prepare for such an event?
