Praetorian Guard - Dems push for PERMANENT Military “Quick Reaction Force” For Capitol

The Republic is Dead

Long Live The Empire

A long time ago, in a Republic far far away, Caesar crossed the Rubicon. We are witness to the Death of America.

(Summit News) - A Democrat appointed ‘task force’ has issued a report recommending a permanent military security force be stationed around Capitol Hill.

The task force, headed up by Army Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Russel L. Honoré, reported back to Nancy Pelosi, suggesting that a “quick reaction force” be formed and put on standby in addition to Capitol police.

The report notes that DC is “a high-value target for foreign terrorists or domestic extremists, yet it has no dedicated QRF for response to crises.”

It adds, “The USCP relies on augmentation from other civilian law enforcement agencies for emergency support, but we recommend establishment of a robust, dedicated QRF, not only for the USCP, but to serve the nation’s capital writ large.”

Is Hyper-Inflation on its Way?

Coming Soon To America?

Both U.S. parties have flooded America with trillions of dollars while shutting down the economy. What could possible go wrong?

(Reuters) - Venezuela's central bank said on Friday that it would introduce a banknote worth 1 million bolivars beginning next week, as years of incessant hyperinflation continue to batter the value of the crisis-stricken South American country's currency.

The new banknote will be worth just 52 U.S. cents at the current official exchange rate. Interannual inflation was running at 2,665% as of January, according to the central bank.

The once-prosperous OPEC nation's economy has been in a tailspin for the past seven years, spurred by a collapse in oil prices that led to a drop in imports and a gaping fiscal deficit, prompting the central bank to print more bolivars.

"These new bills will complement and optimize the current denominations, to meet the requirements of the national economy," the central bank said in a statement.

Biden's eyes 'are now dead': Bannon says President Kamala is imminent

Get Ready For The Lies

The corrupt media will spin it that an African American is now President. Far from it. She is Indian-American of a family who owned Blacks as slaves. But the Sheeple will suck down any lie the talking heads vomit out.

(WND) Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon believes America should prepare for a transition to a President Harris.

Bannon was speaking with the author of the book "Biden Unauthorized," Mike McCormick, on his "War Room" video podcast, reported Conservative Brief.

Bannon pointed to a photo of Biden on the cover of McCormick's book that was taken some years ago, showing a glint in the eyes of the longtime senator and former vice president.

His "eyes are now dead," Bannon said of Biden, noting Harris has a much greater role than previous vice presidents, including meeting with foreign leaders.

"Kamala Harris is printed up in playbooks, always there for these meetings," Bannon said. "Pence was never that. That's not the role of the vice president."

Former Secret Service member Dan Bongino, in a recent interview with Sean Hannity, said he was "hearing from people close to the situation that Biden’s cognitive decline is rapidly worsening and is becoming increasingly difficult to mask."

"The Democrats are going to have to make a decision soon," he said.

Democrats already have moved in Congress to restrict Biden's authority to launch a nuclear strike as well as presidential war powers.

"Reparations" for Black Farmers in Stimulus Bill says Sen. Graham

Only Minorites Can Apply

Everything is now Race Based

(CNSNews.com) - It took 27 hours, but in the end, Democrats managed to pass their bloated stimulus bill 50-49 on Saturday without a single Republican vote.

"I'm proud of my Republican colleagues for fighting back," Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) told "Sunday Morning Futures" with Maria Bartiromo.

Graham said, the bill includes "reparations" for minority farmers:

But let me give you an example of something that really bothers me. In this bill, if you're a farmer, your loan will be forgiven up to 120 percent of your loan, not 100 percent, but 120 percent of your loan, if you're socially disadvantaged, if you're African-American, some other minority.
But if you're a white person, if you're a white woman, no forgiveness. That's reparations. What does that got to do with COVID? So, if you're in the farming business right now, this bill forgives 120 percent of your loan, based on your race.
These people in the Congress today, the House and the Senate on the Democrat side, are out-of-control liberals. And God help us all if we don't check and balance them in 2022.

Communists Make Anal Swabs Mandatory

Insert The Commie Swab Deep

For Best Results

(Summit News) - China has made COVID-19 anal swab tests mandatory for nearly all international arrivals despite complaints that the procedure is humiliating.

The tests will be required for all travelers arriving at Beijing and Shanghai airports before they are allowed to enter the country.

Despite the degrading nature of the procedure, Chinese health authorities claim it is more effective at identifying COVID-19 than nasal swabs.

“The same procedure applies to visitors who came from countries where COVID-19 cases are high or they tested positive upon arrival,” reports IB Times. “If a person shows symptoms of diarrhea, he or she must also get an anal swab.”

An alternative may be offered where travelers can provide stool samples instead, a procedure that is almost as humiliating anyway.

“If people are not familiar with the procedure for taking an anal swab test, our employees will help explain how it will be done,” a representative for the epidemic control department in the Daxing district of Beijing said.

As we highlighted earlier this week, Tokyo has asked Beijing to stop performing COVID-19 anal swabs on its citizens after complaints that the procedure causes “psychological pain.”

Reports also emerged that U.S. diplomatic staff had been forced to undergo this procedure, although China initially denied this then claimed it was an “error”.
