Two US Capitol Police (responsible for Congress) told me that Washington DC @MayorBowser has instructed the DC metropolitan police to "slow walk" any responses to distress calls from Senator Mitch McConnell's house on Capitol Hill.
The US Capitol Police feel overwhelmed at what lays ahead of them, since Antifa/BLM have targeted individual Members of Congress for harassment or worse, and the DC city government is sympathetic to the mobs.
.@realDonaldTrump should federalize the District of Columbia Metropolitan Police and the DC National Guard now - before election day - and bring in reliable National Guard from other states, if we are to believe what the organized rioters are planning for the night of November 3.
The violent extremists are planning to use the "BLM Plaza" area - about the size of three football fields, marked in red - as a "staging area" for a mob "siege" to attack the White House complex. @MayorBowser, who supports BLM, has closed off the area to traffic for months.
DC, as the seat of the US government, is a special case where it's proper to federalize city police and National Guard. The feds should enlarge the security perimeter around the White House along my aquamarine lines 18th St to the west, K St to the north, and 14th St to the east.
A police union poll shows that 71% of Washington DC police are so disgusted with @MayorBowser and the District Council that they want to quit, and 96% believe Bowser's policies will lead to more crime. washingtonexaminer.com/news/nearly-3-…
Twitter has branded and blocked these two responses as "offensive." Again, I will be on P*rl*r and G*b under my same name when Twitter censors my page.
Of course, less militant groups are planning to use the same staging area, too, sometimes with a festive atmosphere. Here’s one of the schedules: shutdowndc.org/updates/tjwa1u…
The House Sergeant at Arms, the chief law enforcement officer of the US House of Representatives & a board member of the Capitol Police, has offered all 435 congressmen private security in their home districts. THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE, not even after 9/11. @ChrisPlanteShow
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have yet to call on Antifa/BLM to knock it off. Neither has House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Certainly there's a reason for their silence.
DC Police sources tell me that over the past two years, "several dozen" House Democrats in Congress have applied for, and received, District of Columbia concealed-carry weapons permits.
Fighting crime and defending against Communism start at home, with both parents, Hoover said.
"A child above all needs the firm moral backing of a conscientious mother and father and the love, understanding, and security that a good Christian home affords."

A new @ClaremontInst book recalls his "scrappy rise from penniless immigrant to MAGA guru."
@ToryAnarchist @nypost @ClaremontInst Character matters.

Thomas Codevilla recounts how his dad grew up ready to fight the destroyers:

Terrorist groups and movements have their own family trees.
It isn't hard to track them.
Private experts are usually far ahead of national intelligence services.

h/t @realDianaWest. See comment below.
@realDianaWest We've dusted off an unpublished paper I wrote in 2002, marking the first anniversary of 9/11. The paper was a 25-year retrospective on Stefan Possony's "International Terrorism - The Communist Connection," published in 1977. centerforsecuritypolicy.org/wp-content/upl…
@realDianaWest The point of publishing it now is to show, historically, that private analysts can be years ahead of the intelligence community in documenting the linkage of terrorist networks and movements.
It's going to take a lot of private expertise to face the terror threats of today.
🧵 The Trump administration really knows what it's doing to smash violent anarchist and Marxist radicals and to go after their intellectual and financial sponsors.
National Security Presidential Memorandum 7 shows a comprehensive, legally based vision and action plan. whitehouse.gov/presidential-a…
"This political violence is not a series of isolated incidents and does not emerge organically. Instead, it is a culmination of sophisticated, organized campaigns of targeted intimidation, radicalization, threats, and violence designed to silence opposing speech, limit political activity, change or direct policy outcomes, and prevent the functioning of a democratic society."
"A new law enforcement strategy that investigates all participants in these criminal and terroristic conspiracies — including the organized structures, networks, entities, organizations, funding sources, and predicate actions behind them — is required."
🧵 The most solid brief yet on the extremist networks in Utah. Law enforcement in other states can learn from this report. So can federal authorities. By my colleague @morganwirthlin at @securefreedom.
Direct action: "In accordance with the concept of “diversity of tactics,” individuals are expected to participate in activities that they are comfortable with and align with their values and priorities, while at the same time refusing to judge, criticize, or even notify authorities about the criminal or violent activities of others."
In horizontal networks, "All participants can act and react instantly without waiting for orders – yet with a clear idea of what to expect from one another,” according to CrimethInc, an anarchist and antifascist site."
The "antifascists" view everything they don't like as fascist.
