Courts Tire of Trump’s False Election Fraud Claims

Trump Readies to Commit Treason on His Way Out

Cristal M Clark

One thing we know about Donald Trump, hands down is that he is a narcissist, and when a narcissist is losing control, they will do anything in an attempt to exact both revenge and to attempt to try to manipulate and control the outcome. Trump removed senior defense officials and installed his dick sucking loyalists, which of course triggered alarm at Pentagon but also got the attention of those that seek to profit off of Donald Trump’s betrayal of the United States. Much like Putin has been able to garner, a little something I am more than sure I should not have to remind anyone of. This time however Trump’s move is outright and in our faces only an idiot would not see what he is attempting to do on his way out and that is one act of treason, treachery, the ultimate fuck you to the United States and her citizens.

The point is, Donald J Trump would do anything to keep any shred of power that he can and if not he will sell us out to those that seek to cause harm to this great nation.

For those at the pentagon, I would be wary of the damage this man is hell bent on causing. As for the courts, well word on the streets is that they are tiring of Trump and his ridiculous claims of voter fraud, which have come with absolutely no proof whatsoever other than Trump and his following behaving like spoilt children who have not gotten their bloody way.

Of course Trump’s refusal to acknowledge the outcome of the election also throws the nation into further peril from the Pandemic, in case no one caught this, the US has hit over a million cases of Covid-19 but perhaps what is even more treasonist is that because Trump is refusing to concede and continues to challenge the outcome, it also delays turnover of the presidency, which includes important vital data with regards to the Pandemic, he is setting Bidens team up to walk in blind. Which of course can be avoided should let’s say those in the know just start to turn over intel to the incoming president and his team, what is Trump going to do besides whine and have a Twitter meltdown?

The fact that both Congress and the Senate want us to believe the nation is helpless to stop Trump from his wrong doing is well inaccurate, Trump has been breaking all of the bloody rules that he can for the last 4 years, this nation at the very least deserves to start off the next presidency without the hypocrisy, the nightmare or the mess of the last 4 years, it’s time to break some of those rules and see to it that the Biden administration is starting to see intel, on everything, Fuck Trump.

More people will die if Trump does not coordinate with Biden those are facts.

Republican’s Who Fear Trump Should Take Note

Once You Get Past The Spin, Reality is Going to Hit Much Harder Than Expected

Cristal M Clark

Now that Trump has lost the election, we’ve seen his supporters fall victim to denial, learning the full extent of mental health in this country as we’ve witnessed for months meltdowns by Trump supporters over trivial things, now his campaign loss.

We laughed hysterically as Rudolph William Louis Giuliani held a news conference at Four Seasons Total Landscape, in between a crematorium and a dildo shop. I literally just can’t, that one takes the cake, or dick if you will. We saw countless callers who pranked the Trump voter fraud hotline with wacky, hilarious calls which come on, I know hundreds of people who participated. That was just asking for it.

But now we are also falling witness to Republican’s who fear Trump, so they are supporting his effort to rally, refuse to concede, withhold funds, fire people and have a proverbial mental breakdown on his way out and do as much damage as humanly possible along the way. And perhaps they are under the misguided illusion that Trump will continue to be powerful well after he leaves the White House he turned into a trailer park.

The truth is, it’s hard to have a lot of sway from a prison cell which he still might yet find himself in. It’s also hard to have much sway when you are flat broke, poor, homeless or in a mental institution, the Democrats do have an insurance policy so we might yet get to see that one play out, Trump. Deutsche Bank announced before the election of its intent to cut all ties with Trump and his organization and it could seek to sell or demand repayment of about $340 million in outstanding loans to the Trump Organization, almost as if they could feel it.

But perhaps what has caused and done the most damage to the party all thanks to Trump, is the disaster we find ourselves in today as America faces a new rapidly growing surge in the number of Coronavirus cases, as hardworking average citizens face the all to real possibility of more shutdowns, another round of staggering unemployment, continued unemployment with no stimulus package prior to the election, no Trump elected to dangle the idea of a new stimulus once he won the US presidential election as if it were a carrot over the heads of voters. Now come on is that not a form of an outright attempt at voter fraud here? Trump basically all but admitted to refuse to force a new stimulus package ahead of the election in the vain hope it would garner him desperate votes.

He also wants you to believe that our election system is broken, full of fraud, rigged, against him of course. The truth is, it’s not. But he sees an opportunity to build on something people have long since really never had much faith in. People from Trump’s generation will lambaste you for not voting yet in the same breath urge you to vote in person because you cannot trust mail in ballots or they will believe any story where a particular candidate blames his loss on voter fraud, i.e. the dead are voting. Just like the Caravan from Mexico, still waiting on them to show up here.

By planting a seed of distrust, his hope is to build on it, like with the racism, the defunding of police campaign, the caravan full of illegals coming to rape your daughters, the blacks moving into white suburbia, to rape your women, steal your homes, dirty your pristine white neighborhoods. And ladies let’s not forget his claim to getting not you but your husbands back to work. It all starts with a seed, a lie, misinformation, a twisting of words, building on a system where we were always taught to doubt it or mistrust it.

He has laughed off wearing a face mask, social distancing, made a mockery of getting the virus, if he ever had it, the reality is, I call it bullshit. He has to prove that he ever had it and if his campaign can accuse the Biden campaign of pulling up in a van marked Biden/Harris to deliver fraudulent ballots to a polling center, I can most certainly claim that I believe Donald Trump never had Coronavirus. I mean, come on if anyone in the democratic party committed voter fraud, what in the fuck, a van marked with the Biden/Harris logo? I mean if you are going to make shit up, you might want to do it in such a way that it does not seem like a 5-year old came up with the storyline here.

The point is his mishandling of the pandemic, his making it a joke, not a serious matter is what has gotten the United States to where we are today. More restrictions, further shutdowns, more job loss. He encourages his supporters to not take the pandemic seriously, which caused a deeper rift in this nation of its citizens, if you’re not seeing the situation allow for me to spell it out plain and clear.

Trump did what Russia is well known for, they took our weaknesses and played us against each other with them. Russia knew and effectively taught Trump to use our weakness of racism and play to a part of this nation that still believes in that sort of thing or who believe that it is not real. From that Trump saw how deeply divided the US was over something so simple and the most patriotic thing you can do as an American Citizen and wear a face mask. Many see it as- big brother trying to take away rights, freedoms, the right to choose. Which I don’t get really as many of those same individuals seek to abolish abortion in this country too and many of Trump’s supporters are the same people who brought us, “All Lives Matter,” not just black lives. But when it comes to votes, guess they don’t all matter, and when it comes to saving your neighbors life since they are not in a womans womb, guess fuck em right, because no one can tell you what you can do with your body.

Trump played a nation, his own party and his own supporters and if you fear him because he was able to play you? Think about that one really clearly now, Donald J Trump does not give fuck about you, the party who took it in the ass supporting him even when he was wrong, his supporters whom he so eloquently showed were less than the sane, educated or of sound mind, racist, sexist and he was able to bring them forward into the public spotlight for everyone to see, he opened the wounds of this nation and now he is hell bent on bleeding those wounds out. He will fuck every supporter, anyone in his party and the rest of us over on his way out, he will fire people who only want to ensure that the nation and it’s people are taken care of and safe, he will drag out conceding and releasing the funds for the Biden team to beggin the process of Biden taking office, so as to attempt to set Biden up to fail or the very least falter badly at the start, he will destroy, create chaos and havoc and laugh on his way out. Even as his own supporters are becoming sick and dying from the virus after attending rallies, going to protests. He hasn’t reached out to any of the surviving families and offered a shred of decency has he? No empathy, no sorries, no feelings of human warmth, caring, sadness.

The voice of America spoke and we are about to take swift steps to rid this nation of racism, intolerance, meaningless protests because someone wants to get their hair done or they refuse to wear a face mask to save a life.

So if his own party fears him, they might want to reconsider that. If Trump continues to cause damage, the entire Republican party will pay for that and, for many years to come, my gut says they will not be able to count on Trump’s supporters to bring them back.

President-Elect Joe Biden, Vice President-Elect Kamala Harris – a Nation Saved

Trump’s Refusal to Concede – Does it Matter Really?

Cristal M Clark

To concede is but a formal affair, it is not necessary and speaks volumes to the level of Donald J Trump’s mental health, in that it more than without effort shines the spotlight on Trump’s narcissism. His inability to accept reality, to accept facts, to accept that he lost. Forgive me here but was it not Trump and his supporters that laughed at the Democrats losing back in 2016? Did they not take to the streets, the air and everywhere they could to inform everyone having issues with Trump winning that they needed “get over it, stop acting like babies?” Yes I recall it all very well.

Joe Biden will take office still the same regardless of whether or not Trump concedes here. Some in Trump’s circle have said that we just need to give Trump time, while others published a fake newspaper front page, and the rest are running loose like cannon balls rolling about on a ship in a storm and spreading disinformation, lies and complete false information all about social media and in the news in an attempt to discredit the results of the election. In fact, some staunch supporters in the GOP insist that even with the Trump loss he will still be a huge influence within the GOP after he leaves office. Words I would highly recommend they reconsider here, for the people have spoke, and if you doubt for one second that we will not send anyone who supports the rhetoric of Trump into hiding, think again. We asked for a change, a more tolerant and kinder change. Take that to heart.

But perhaps what most likely stings Trump even more here is the realization that he is not beloved as much as he sells it off as. The cherry on top has been the sheer amount of world leaders who came forward with gratitude and happily congratulated President-Elect Joe Biden and Vice President-Elect, Kamala Harris. In fact in some parts of the world, people took to the streets as American’s did in celebration of our newly elected President and Vice President, headlines splashed papers stating that a sigh of relief was heard throughout the world at the announcement, here in the US people took to the streets in celebration, dancing, crying in relief, Trump supporters took to the same streets in an attempt to goad Biden supporters into a row of some sort and were met with quite the opposite. Again, that speaks very loud volumes.

For those in the GOP who insist that if Trump concedes without a fight the Republican party will never see another president in office, I highly beg to differ. The rhetoric, the hatred, the racism and intolerance, those ill advised sentiments are fleeting, and will continue to do so in epic proportions. The point is, those views are no longer tolerable, Trump is what has damaged your party so. The republican party used to stand for the working class, used to fight tooth and nail for us, Trump made a mockery of that and a laughing stalk of the US presidency. All for what? Personal greed and gain. Should he continue the petty squabble and fail to concede, it will in fact cause irreversible damage to the republican party.

Those that support Trump, did so because they effectively wanted change, those changes were to better to be to the good of the nation, what Trump did was turn the tables and highlight the racist sentiments that run deep through this country and he exposed that to the entire world. He opened a wound that leaves every single person in this nation vulnerable.

Trump is in complete denial now that the cat is out of the bag in that the majority in the US showed up in record numbers to oust him from office, knowing that he is not, was not, nor will ever be, qualified nor fit to be the president of the United States of America. Pelosi might want to ready that insurance policy should Trump attempt to take his rage out in ways that would damage our country and/or cause further damage to our already tattered relationships with world leaders. Trump and his brood should start packing instead of trying to stir up trouble.

And for President-Elect Joe Biden and Vice President-Elect, Kamala Harris, I have no doubt that we will see great success as they take office, however 4 years is far from enough time to heal and mend a nation that is so deeply divided and damaged. Let us hope that they start the job of that off right by doing us right, being good to our nation, respecting everyone, being good to other nations and world leaders instead of playing games, lying, living in their own reality, ignoring science in the face of a pandemic, ruining our thriving economy and, simply not hearing or caring about the voice of the people in this nation. In other words, don’t try to sell us out for your own selfish reasons like Donald J Trump has done.

Denver Colorado Adding More Covid-19 Restrictions

Mayor Hancock Makes Another Mistake

Cristal M Clark

Again today, the city of Denver has added more restrictions in its fight against the spread of Covid-19, which would make sense if you did not have to worry about neighboring communities, I mean unless the entire state is on the same page, you are really not doing much to prevent anything.

Mayor Hancock is basically telling us that if you are resident or a nonessential business, you need to close by 10 and be home by 10PM.

At any rate, I get what he is attempting to do, but here is another erroneous mistake.

It’s the “Home By 10” order.

Liquor stores will be required to close at 10 p.m.
People will need to be home from restaurants by 10 p.m.
Order does not extend to essential businesses like grocery stores, pharmacies and hospitals.

Local new station “FOX31 learned before Hancock’s announcement that protesters will still be allowed to gather. They will be required to wear a mask and be socially distanced.”

Wait, what? Is that for real?

Well apparently, it is in fact for real. Protesters don’t have to head home at 10PM so long as they socially distance and wear a face covering, which by the way they are more than happy to do when they start to riot, shoot at each other, loot and burn shit down as it tends to hides one’s identity.

The reality is simple, no peaceful protest has ever really accomplished anything by protesting after dark. Think about it. The rioters, looters, shooters, pyromaniacs and anarchists tend to come out at night, with the exception of the Trump supporters and his unlawful militia groups and white nationalist hate groups.

A better move for Denver or any city to make would be to limit the days and hours that demonstrations can legally take place during this time of the pandemic. Not to thwart the pandemic but to keep the violence, burning of businesses down and looting to a minimum since demonstrators will be required to wear face coverings. It makes no sense to order a restaurant closed by 10 or a liquor stores closed by 10 and yet still allow demonstrations to continue well into the night. Make demonstrators abide by restrictions as well, demonstrate at designated hours in designated areas, i.e. no marching through the streets and blocking traffic, it’s not a fucking parade.

While we are at it here, a couple of weeks ago we cut back capacity in offices, markets, retail shops, gyms, guess what they have done to abide by that? Not a fucking thing.

I went into a WalMart last weekend, just to see, nope they are no longer counting the number of shoppers let into the store much less employees wearing face coverings correctly, Target either for that matter, nor is King Soopers, Safeway or any other market.
In fact, its beginning to look a lot like these restrictions are just being ignored, blatantly ignored by big retail.

We’ve already severed the arty of the restaurant, bar and entertainment industries, let’s do our best to stop the bleeding by taking it a step further and making sure no looting and rioting take place here, it’s time to limit demonstrations, protests and the like for the time being.

White Supremacist Groups and Extremists Geared Up for Trump Loss

Groups Have Been Training for Civil Unrest in the Event Trump Losses

Cristal M Clark

Over the weekend Trump supporters took to highways creating road blocks, standing outside of polling places in an effort to intimidate voters and now, reports have been surfacing that indicate US Supremacist and Extremist groups have been training for all out war should Trump lose the election, in fact some are all but sure that Trump will lose, so they intend to react violently. Now we saw the leader of the Proud Boys threaten civil war a few weeks back now more and more intel is surfacing of some real threats that could soon be coming our way.

Here in Denver, our law enforcement agencies are gearing up and getting a little extra help from the State Patrol to help patrol downtown. In fact the message that was sent out today was very clear that if you are out and starting trouble, rioting, becoming violent, pandemic or not you will go to jail.

These reports should trouble and concern every citizen in the US, namely because the fucking FBI is seemingly allowing the threat of home grown terrorism but more so because these groups have been gearing up for this, for some time and, I am not talking days either.

According to our friends over at BuzzFeed, The Patriot Front is preparing for civil conflict as they believe that the president’s defeat on election day is inevitable. The group has amassed hundreds of members around the US since its inception after the aftermath of the Charlottesville far-right riots.

Sadly the group’s preparations were revealed in a cache of hundreds of messages exchanged between members in an encrypted messaging app, “In logs of the chats, all from this year, around 280 members of the group discuss grandiose goals, creating a white ethnostate from the existing United States.”

This lackluster group of individuals wants to deport all immigrants, blacks, and jews. They want a country of just whites. How white that goes, I have no idea. What is truly mind boggling is that the messages show a sophisticated network of extremists who are recruiting and training for extreme violence. The group idolizes Hitler, they believe the United States is a nation that belongs only to white people (clearly an uneducated group), wear uniforms made up of bomber jackets, face coverings, and beige khakis, mandate weight loss and intense workouts, and regularly practice hand-to-hand combat.

This country for the record does not in fact, belong to white men, white men invaded this country, raped, robbed and pillaged in an effort to steal the country from Native American’s, who are the rightful fucking owners of this country.

“It does not matter what people personally believe about the election,” wrote the group’s leader Thomas Rousseau.

“Casting a ballot is a submissive gesture to legitimise tyranny. It is fundamentally amoral. It is done as an insult to the nation’s cause and the organisation.”

A group of homegrown terrorists is what these men are. Terrorists. I recall years ago I wrote about terrorist groups here in the US and the comment that I made is certainly ringing through this year, the threat of terrorism is not coming from abroad, it’s already here, it was born here, raised here and has been training here, for years.

Donald J Trump is a narcissist who supports these groups, he encourages the violent behavior. IF he loses we will see the worst out of this president, more so than every before, for he will in fact encourage all out war.

US readers and friends, stay safe over the next few days, our ride could be pretty interesting indeed.

Treading Lightly Into November 2020

The US Presidential Election

Cristal M Clark

On Friday a caravan of whack job Trumpers surrounded a Biden campaign bus: “I love Texas,” down in Texas of course. The reckless behavior which was caught on video ran the bus off the road. According to both democratic officials and witnesses they saw the pro-Trump vehicles attempt to “force” the Biden-Harris campaign bus “off the road” in the incident on Friday, per the New York Times.

Someone could have been killed here. This is insanity and stupidity at its best while Trump and his white trash kids are encouraging the behavior. I’d like to know what the fuck the illustrous FBI is doing about that? Nothing, no shit. They have stood by idely for an entire year watching Trump and his family encourage violence, racism, and acts of domestic terrorism and have done nothing. Not lifted a single finger to call out this behavior from the man who wears the TV title of US president. A role he has and will continue to fail at.

The FBI would, if we were to encourage this type of behavior, be on our doorsteps with a line of inquiry in a cold room with a window recording our very conversations.

But what has really gotten many people dreading the start of November is what will befall us after the election. Our president just so happens to be a narcissist. When a Narcissist loses things get ugly, very ugly. We could see a civil war, a world war, threats, tantrums and hatefulness the likes of nothing we have ever seen before. That just from our president, but you should also be wary of team Trump because his supporters will in fact have a complete meltdown should that orange rotund grotesque monster lose.

Either way we must do everything in our power today to keep hate, racism, bigotry and womanizing from winning again. Remember Covid-19 is not the only pandemic, the only virus we are fighting.

IF you haven’t already, get out and vote. Be the voice of change and yell it loud and proud, we do not stand for this type of leadership. It is time for change.

Mayor Michael Hancock Issues Level 3 Stay at Home Order for Denver, Colorado

Is This About Controlling the People or Controlling the Virus? Hancock’s Mistake.

Cristal M Clark

All week I had planned to bring you Halloween related stories just for entertainment but you know the pandemic is technically a horror story of its own right?

Today Mayor Michael Hancock of Denver issued level 3 stay at home orders once again limiting outings, business capacity and shuttering some indoor activities leaving the citizens of Denver with the threat of shutting the city down again. I get it, his heart is in the right place, his head is a bit foggy though. I have lost friends to the virus, to depression due to job loss, lockdowns, drug overdoses due to the same recently so I get it but the virus is not the only thing killing people.

Naturally, this news caused an onslaught of anger, fear and emotional turmoil for many. I personally do not agree with restrictions in terms of limited capacities and forcing businesses to shut down. And I am so sick of seeing people take to social media with complete anger and without becoming educated and claim it’s about control not the virus.

First of all, think about that ridiculous statement. It is about control, idiots, it’s about controlling the spread of the virus not individuals. Sadly, when trying to control the virus we are seeing government overreach to the level of epic proportions. These leaders have yet to see how the effort to keep the virus at bay is affecting even industries they deem essential. The money for many is running out, spending will slow now just in time for the holiday season and even construction will slow and when that happens, the bottom is going to tank out. That is simple mathematics.

The control here is to keep hospitals from running at capacity, from keeping them from running out of beds. Which has yet to happen and is even less likely than back in March to happen today. We have better treatments and the young are driving the spikes. The young are more likely to survive. So what Mayor Hancock is trying to achieve is unnecessary. In fact keeping things shut down and limiting businesses from open at capcity is causing further damage to the economy. A damage that cannot be undone.

Shutting down and restrictions have not worked thus far, which I’ll get to in a bit. A lot of people sounded off on social media locally today claiming this is not legal, the mayor and governor cannot order shutdowns, we need to fight back, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

Well, yes they can shut things down.

To prevent abuse, the power to make laws, enforce laws, and interpret laws are separated into three branches: the legislative, executive, and judicial branches. And the three in terms of the virus are for sure not on the same page at all.

This prevents, mayor’s, governors and even a president from simply doing what they want (like a king or dictator), even if they feel those actions are best for the people. They must do only those things which comply with the laws enacted by the legislature-as interpreted by judges. Interpretation is everything when it comes to upholding laws.

So upon declaring a state of emergency, a Governor and any other executive declaring an emergency will issue a series of executive orders invoking specific State legislative enactments. Those statutes pre-authorize the executive branch (which the Governor heads) to take certain, specific actions when the state is facing an emergency.

Most declarations of emergency pertain to snow storms or hurricanes, wildfires. In those instances, the State invoked more familiar provisions of the statutes governing declarations of emergency, including freeing up money earmarked for emergency use; calling on the national guard to help with the effects of the storm; and allowing the police to redirect traffic. But the Governor’s statutory powers during an emergency are broad, flexible, and include the ability to make such orders. . . as may be necessary adequately to meet the various problems presented by any emergency, including the designation of vehicles and persons permitted to move during an emergency, the conduct of the civilian population during the threat of and imminence of danger or any emergency, and on any matter that may be necessary to protect the health, safety and welfare of the people.

Many States have moved to an Emergency Health Powers Act, which have provided additional authorization for control over medical facilities, the distributions of medical resources, and authority to identify areas that are or may be dangerous to the public health and to cause the movement of persons within that area to be restricted, if such action is reasonable and necessary to respond to the public health emergency. The states may require quarantine for persons who are unable or unwilling to undergo vaccination and for those who are sick.

For an added kick in the balls, the FMLA was changed to accommodate those who fall ill from the virus currently, doesn’t really matter the organizations size either.

So Yes, states, cities and municipalities can shut businesses down right now. And they can vaccinate you, quarantine you, and are immune from a lawsuit for doing any of those things.

Like it or not that is what it is, you can stomp your feet, throw tantrums, become outspoken on social media, this is what it is.

Now, all of that said, Mayor Hancock made a mistake here, first the threat of another shutdown, that is akin to political suicide and here is why-

Millions of people are still out of work, that threat is more or less a promise that they will continue to be out of work for the foreseeable future. For workers who have gone back to work, now they get to live in constant fear of losing their jobs, again which by the way lowers an individual’s ability to fight infection, fear causes worry, worry causes stress, which affects overall health.

The biggest reason this was a fatal mistake however goes back to those three branches of Government and it ends in the lap of a judge who thus far almost nationwide, have been unwilling to uphold punishment for anyone who goes against these local and state mandates.

Think about it, how many news stories are we seeing with regards to the virus and state or city mandates, where the cops try to enforce a mandate, a state agency tries to enforce a mandate and it ends with a Judge who is unwilling to punish the business or individual for whatever indiscretion.

So these three branches can’t bother to be on the same page let alone effectively enforce restrictions or mandates, why should the people follow these orders? Now I am not suggesting we go against what Mayor Hancock said today, I am posing a very serious question whilst also pointing out the flaw in issuing mandates.

Additionally, I saw Mayor Hancock’s not so kind words with regards to the Trump administration’s failure to get another stimulus put through before the election, yes I agree that was bullshit however, to Mayor Hancock, Governor Polis and any other state or local leader who might read this, get off of your little high horses because you all share in the blame here. I saw not one of you march your higher than thou happy asses up to Capital Hill and demand that rather than rush a hideous, religious zealot, who has no idea what being a woman is, and who wants to take us to the dystopian era into the supreme court and demand a stimulus deal be reached instead.

I did see a number of state and local leaders nationwide take to news outlets to bitch and whine about it, but you know as well as your voters going to the media doesn’t do shit for your people. You all failed on that one so do not just blame Trump and White House on this one. If enough of you would have grown the balls to get in his face as a collective team regardless of party, he would have sided with you hence with the people. Some of us do in fact pay very close attention to the details here so I would not assume anyone missed that.

Now, if we want to do the right thing by the people we must of course, educate on mask wearing, social distancing, hand washing (for some of you bathing in general), and we must isolate the vulnerable and the sick.

In addition to that we must open our economies and to do that our governments must work with the people and allow for less restrictions in terms of permits to have outdoor seating, here in Denver we have fantastic winters, if we shut down enough streets and parking lots these local businesses will figure out how to make it work. Businesses would actually help neighboring businesses by partnering up to make things work during the pandemic.

I think Mayor Hancock and other Mayors, our Governor and other states will find if you leave it to the people to figure out how to open at full or 75% capacity the majority will find ways to make it work and they will do it right. But to just force them to close or limit capacity to a point where it makes no sense to open, you are basically turning your backs on them. And that is what is causing the pandemic anger.

We will see less argument over mask wearing, group gatherings and the like if we left it open to businesses to find a way and remove restrictions like permits to have sidewalk seating, we need to start closing streets so as to allow businesses to open. These businesses will pay to get outdoor heaters and to have a thriving business back if we let them.

It all goes back to those three branches, you are pretty hard pressed to find a Judge to uphold your mandate these days. And I hate to say this but after reading hundreds of comments today after Mayor Hancock issued his updated mandates for the city of Denver, after conversing with many people and business owners, if we keep poking the bear here it’s not going to end well.

Pay attention to the people, they are becoming desperate, and angry, with the election, the racial tensions, police shootings, protests, the far left, the far right. All of it spells disaster and that will spill onto the streets and into every corner of this country in the form of civil unrest the likes no one has ever seen.

How many guns are legally in the hands of what were once responsible gun owners? I say “what were once” responsible because no matter which side you are on, once the shooting starts, well we will become the wild west again. Now add that to the amount of guns on the streets and in the hands of those who have them illegally. We are already seeing an increase in certain crimes all because of the pandemic.

It’s time to think before local and state officials react, it’s time to reflect on the damage those actions and mandates and orders are causing. IT is no longer a small sacrifice you are asking of us, we the people, you are destroying lives at a far higher rate than that of the virus. Every reaction by leaders is going to start to have an equal if not more powerful reaction from the people.

To Quote Mayor Hancock: “ This is not a game.”

Keep messing around with people’s ability to live, work, pay bills, own a business, own a home, own a car, buy food, keep messing with it state and local officials because my friends, “This is not a game,” that is one hell of an atomic bomb, and it it just so happens to be ticking.

The Amityville Horror Phenomenon

A Story that Freaked Out a Nation – Might Be More False Than it is True

Cristal M Clark

Back on July 27, 1979 when the Amityville Horror movie was first released people were mesmerized and quite frankly pretty freaked out, it was based on the true story of one 23-year-old Ronald J. DeFeo Jr. who murdered his entire family using a 35 Marlin rifle while they were asleep, which included his parents and four siblings.

The movie centered around the Lutz family, who moved into the home months later. The Lutz family purchased the home at a drastically reduced price of $80,000 due to the murders of course, only to leave it roughly 28 after having moved in.

They claimed a great deal of demonic paranormal activity had occured in the home, in fact some accounts are downright terrifying, and are what made the legend of the Amityville Horror and tons of books, not to mention documentaries and films.

In fact, two of the most educated and experienced paranormal investigators, Ed and Lorraine Warren visited the home after the Lutz family moved out. Lorraine Warren said: “The very first night that Ed and I went into that home I was fearful, but I didn’t know what I was fearful of.”

You can find archival images showing the home inside as it was immediately after the Lutz family “fled in terror” in 1975, as well as the Warrens conducting their investigation. Lorraine, who died in 2019, took with her a relic and asked clergy of many faiths to join her in spirit in the home to protect her and her husband, who died in 2006.

According to Lorriane: “As I was going up the stairs, I reached the point where it felt as if a force of water was coming against my chest, almost like a waterfall, it was the worst feeling. I stopped on the landing and held tight to the relic that was in my hand and asked for strength and direction in going forward. It felt ominous to me.”

Now if you are the skeptical sort, I don’t blame you here. I do believe in residual energy good and bad but demons?

Here is what we know about the rest of the story –

Ronadl DeFeo’s trial began on October 14, 1975. He and his defense lawyer, William Weber, mounted an affirmative defense of insanity, with DeFeo claiming that he killed his family in self-defense because he heard their voices plotting against him. The insanity plea was supported by the psychiatrist for the defense, Daniel Schwartz. The psychiatrist for the prosecution, Dr. Harold Zolan, maintained that, although DeFeo was a user of heroin and LSD, he had antisocial personality disorder and was aware of his actions at the time of the crime.

With the drugs alone, I am pretty sure anyone would be hearing voices if not also suffering some sort of paranoid delusions, sort of like when the cops down in Miami, Florida back in 2012 who caught a guy eating someone’s face whilst high on “bath salts.”

Could the murders leave an ominous bad, residual negative energy in the home? Yes, and what’s more is let’s not lose sight of the fact that others have lived in the home since with no issues, demonic or otherwise. In fact the biggest issue are those who travel through trying to glimpse the home. The actual street address has been changed just so folks can’t figure out which house it was.

As for the Lutz family, well they faced the eyes of public scrutiny and the story had been discounted many times. They were accused of making the terrifying account of living in the home for 28 days up just so that they could get out of debt.

Stepfather George Lutz had a history of dabbling in the occult.

George was said to wake up at 3:15 am every morning, which was around the time Ron carried out his murders. I usually wake up at that time daily, call it too much caffeine or stress due to the pandemic.

The Lutz family claimed to smell strange odors, see green slime oozing out of the walls and keyholes and experience cold spots in certain areas of the house. Yet funny, no other owners have smelled nor seen any of that.

When a priest came to bless the house, he allegedly heard a voice scream “Get out!” He told the Lutzes to never sleep in that particular room in the house. *The role of Father Pecoraro in the story has been given considerable attention. During the course of the lawsuit surrounding the case in the late 1970s, Father Pecoraro stated in an affidavit that his only contact with the Lutzes concerning the matter had been by telephone. Other accounts say that Father Pecoraro did visit the house but experienced nothing unusual there. Father Pecoraro gave what may have been his only on-camera interview about his recollections during a 1980 episode of In Search of- a documentary series hosted by Leonard Nimoy.

Father Pecoraro’s face was obscured during the interview to preserve his anonymity. In the interview, he repeated the claim that he heard a voice saying “Get out”, but stopped short of giving it a paranormal origin. He also stated that he felt a slap on his face during the visit and that he did subsequently experience blistering on his hands.

Other paranormal activity: A nearby garage door opening and closing; an invisible spirit knocking a knife down in the kitchen; a pig-like creature with red eyes staring down at George and his son Daniel from a window; George waking up to wife Kathy levitating off their bed; sons Daniel and Christopher also levitating together in their beds. Again, no one else who has lived in the home since has had any of these issues.

The Lutz’s former lawyer William Weber — who fell out with them over…well money issues — came out in 1979, claiming that the three of them came up with the horror story “over many bottles of wine.”

The claims of physical damage to the locks, doors and windows were rejected by Jim and Barbara Cromarty, who bought the house for $55,000 in March 1977. In a television interview filmed at the house for That’s Incredible!,Barbara Cromarty argued that they appeared to be the original items and had not been repaired. The show also showed that the “Red Room” was a small closet in the basement and would have been known to the previous owners of the house because it was not concealed in – um well any way.

Then we have the claim made in Chapter 11 of the book that the house was built on a site where the local Shinnecock Indians had once abandoned the mentally ill and the dying? Well that was rejected by local Native American leaders several times.

The claim of cloven hoof prints in the snow on January 1, 1976, was also oddly enough, rejected by other researchers because weather records showed that there had been no snow in Amityville on that date.Neighbors reported nothing unusual during the time that the Lutzes were living there as well. The police officers who were depicted visiting the house in the book and 1979 film have also been rejected because records showed that the Lutzes did not call the police during the period that they were actually living in the home on Ocean Avenue.There was actually no bar in Amityville called The Witches’ Brew at the time: Ronald DeFeo, Jr. was a regular customer at Henry’s Bar, a short distance from 112 Ocean Avenue, which is of very little concern, the names of people and places are changed sometimes to suite the needs of hollywood.

As as the years passed the Lutz family filed lawsuits against, lawyers, news corporations and the like, they never really got anywhere with any of them and George has sort of half assed admitted that perhaps not everything depicted in the book and movie were necessarily a true account of what did happen, but he has always stood by “something did in fact happen in that house.”

A lot can be said for a psychosomatic event here and honestly that is what I believe happened. I mean, think about it, they get all worked up after realizing a rather horrific murder occured in the home, they read Ronald’s defense and the mind tends to sometimes become stressed, out of fear and play a great deal of tricks on us.

True or fake the story at the time Amityville Horror was one of the most terrifying demonic stories ever told up until that point.

As for Ronald, well he is still in prison serving out his sentence as all of his appeals have been denied thus far.
