Almost a year has passed since the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol Building — an event that continues to raise concerns about the potential for violence, chaos and unrest during and after the 2024 presidential election. Three of the people who are sounding the alarm are Paul D. Eaton, Antonio M. Taguba and Steven M. Anderson, all retired U.S. Army generals. In a disturbing op-ed recently published by the Washington Post, they warn that the “aftermath” of 2024’s election could have a “potential for lethal chaos inside our military, which would put all Americans at severe risk.”
“In short, we are chilled to our bones at the thought of a coup succeeding next time,” the retired generals write. “One of our military’s strengths is that it draws from our diverse population; it is a collection of individuals, all with different beliefs and backgrounds. But without constant maintenance, the potential for a military breakdown mirroring societal or political […]
Conservative broadcaster Steve Bannon explained on Monday that he has an expansive plan to “take over the election apparatus.”
During his Real America Voice program, Bannon responded to reports on MSNBC that he was one of the main players in an effort to overturn the 2020 election on behalf of then-President Donald Trump.
“All the MSNBC producers should understand something,” Bannon said. “We’re going to get it decertified in Arizona, in Georgia, in Pennsylvania, in — wait for it — Wisconsin. We’re going to get these electors decertified.”
“And guess what. We’re going to take over the election apparatus,” he added. “American citizens that are volunteering. I understand that you don’t think that’s democracy because the globalists have kind of done the misdirection plays and had everybody looking the other way. No, no, no, no. Those days are over.”
Bannon noted that many members of his audience have military and law enforcement training.
“They are now going to volunteer to become a precinct committeeman, they’re going to volunteer to become an election official, they’re […]
The coronavirus pandemic has fully exposed the flaws in the US health care system and deepened many of its disparities. Yet there is a serious possibility, now that Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) has rendered the current version of the Build Back Better Act dead, that the current Congress will not pass any long-term provisions to cover more people, make health care more affordable, or better prepare the nation for the next pandemic.
Though they have not attracted as much attention as other parts of the legislation, Democrats had written a wide-ranging health care section in Build Back Better. They were planning to patch up holes in the Affordable Care Act, extending assistance to middle-class families as well as people in poverty; to reduce drug costs for millions of Americans; and to make investments in the country’s health care infrastructure, with the goal of better preparing the US for the inevitable next pandemic.
The world’s largest chemical maker, BASF, produces ingredients for America’s most popular products, from soaps to surface cleaners to dishwasher detergent. Emissions from their U.S. plants elevate cancer risks for an estimated 1.5 million people.
Hollie Walker cherished the simplicity of her life in White Stone, South Carolina, a tiny community on the outskirts of Spartanburg. In the quiet of the country, she and her husband raised their two sons in a yellow house on 37 acres of secluded land, where they hiked in the woods and swam in their lake. Today, the area is home to a one-room post office, two churches, and a shooting range open three days a week. For years in the 1990s, Walker worked behind the counter at the post office.
There used to be a bar called the White Stone Mall on the same stretch of highway, where Walker would sip beers, shoot pool and chat with workers getting off their shifts from a chemical plant across the street. She […]
