The Threat to Nancy Pelosi’s Speakership Is Suddenly Serious

Hmmmmmm…. A house divided?……

Following House Democrats’ first full meeting with both their departing members and incoming members-elect, reporters asked Ohio Rep. Tim Ryan—who’s organizing a suddenly serious opposition to Nancy Pelosi’s bid for speaker—whether he and his allies would really follow through with the effort that’s driving such a rift within the caucus, on its first day in charge, during its first vote.

“Yes,” he said. He didn’t miss a beat.

Ryan claims that his group has members numbering in the “mid-20s” who are adamant that they would not support Pelosi in a floor vote for speaker. Of those known publicly, it’s about an even split between incumbents who’ve sought to overthrow Pelosi for years and new members who ran on a pledge not to support her. Since Pelosi can only suffer about 15 or 17 defections, and if this group’s resolve is as firm as its generals insist it is, she would not have the votes. On Tuesday night, Massachusetts Rep. Seth Moulton, one of Pelosi’s most persistent thorns, said with “100 percent” confidence that Pelosi would not have the numbers to become speaker, as did Texas Rep. Filemon Vela.

At some point prior to the Nov. 28 caucus vote determining the party’s nominee for the post, the rebels plan to release a public letter with the signatures of members who would not vote for Pelosi. (An early copy of the letter, obtained by HuffPost Wednesday, already had 17 signatures with more in the wings.) Ideally, they say, Pelosi would see the writing on the wall, bow out of the contest before the caucus vote, and allow House Democrats to nominate someone else who could get 218 votes, thereby avoiding an embarrassing spectacle on the floor.

Minds can change—but those close to Pelosi say that she will never do that.

“Pelosi has been clear she’s taking this to the floor,” one senior Democratic aide said. “She just elected the [most] diverse House of Representatives in history, and she’s not going to be deterred by five white guys.” Her strategy is to win the closed-door caucus nomination on Nov. 28, present the choice as a binary between her and Republican leader Kevin McCarthy, and turn the pressure to a boil, daring Ryan’s group to block her on live television.

With each side expressing 100 percent confidence in their ability to succeed, the first House Democratic majority in eight years is headed toward a game of chicken that could play out on the House floor. Just how a majority loves to kick off a fresh congressional session in power.

Though she may dismiss her opposition with a flick of the wrist in public, the flood of emails pouring out from the Pelosi press office suggests that the insurgents have her attention. The leader has blasted endorsements out to reporters, including those from key committee chairmen; unions like the AFL-CIO, United Steelworkers, and the Service Employees International Union; NARAL; and, for some reason, former President Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett. Pelosi has made appearances with the Congressional Black Caucus and the Congressional Progressive Caucus this week, and she’s throwing multiple dinners and receptions for new members who are in town for orientation. As Politico reported, she’s gotten Democrats like Andrew Cuomo, John Kerry, and Al Gore to call specific members. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton can’t be too far behind. The pressure is ramping up. Incoming members, who were all smiles to reporters as they showed up for their first day of orientation on Tuesday, have begun to wear a familiar look of terror and pick up their pace when they see a pack of pain-in-the-ass reporters ahead of them, ready to bug them about their first impossible vote.

Ryan and company have had their hands full swatting away what they consider lies or smears from Pelosi’s camp. The opponents take issue with Pelosi supporters’ endlessly repeated creed that “you can’t beat somebody with nobody”—i.e., that the rebels’ inability to line up a direct challenger dooms them. While some coup-curious members would like to have an idea of who would replace Pelosi before signing on, there’s truth to the rebels’ counterargument: You can, indeed, beat somebody with nobody if the somebody can’t get a majority of House votes. In 2015, after Speaker John Boehner was forced out, Kevin McCarthy was defeated by nobody: When it became clear that he couldn’t win the House Freedom Caucus’ votes, he bowed out of the race, and eventually Paul Ryan was persuaded to step up.

Trump getting ready for martial law?

U.S. Army Reserve pilots Deployment Assistance Teams for RFX units

TRENTON, N.J. - The U.S. Army Reserve recently launched Ready Force X units to allow Soldiers to deploy under shorter time constraints. While the units prepared for their new roles as RFX units, a stop-gap emerged and presented the Army with an opportunity to do what it does best, adapt and overcome to its surroundings.

The four readiness divisions of the U. S. Army Reserve developed a concept of a Deployment Assistance Team Command and Control Cell. These cells will allow units to focus on assisting Soldiers and placing them where they need to be in a timely matter.

This is where the DAT cell plays such a crucial role; they focus on getting equipment from the RFX unit home locations to the various ports and vessels where deploying Soldiers will be able to obtain their equipment in a timely fashion once they are boots on ground overseas.

The commanding general for the 99th Readiness Division explains to troops within the first DAT cell how the planning team came up with the proof of principle.

"You're going to come here, your unit will form, and be here for a few days, whenever that is, and then [the unit will] go leave to where their particular mobilization site is," said Maj. Gen. Troy Kok, the Commanding General of the 99th Readiness Division. "But you still have this thing, called equipment, but [the unit] does not have the time or capacity to be able to load it and ship it, and that is the driving factor for what we're doing here today."

While the team has not been officially set, it is testing its capabilities through a series of exercises. The exercises have several scenarios that a unit may face, or assets required of the unit while deployed.

"This exercise simulates a single unit trying to deploy that has vehicles and equipment in three separate locations that need to get to the port for onward movement," said Sgt. 1st Class Jon Campbell, a materials handling operator assigned to the DAT for the exercises.

With the possibility for failure looming over the team, between vehicle change outs, and maintenance issues, the exercise overall proved successful for all involved.

"We were successful in all three locations, in assisting in getting the equipment moved from point a to point b, simulated," said the Rockland, Massachusetts native. "Given the circumstances, of having so many people from so many different units, with a particular handful of skills, they picked the right team for the right job and we got it done."

As the U.S. Army Reserve continues to define this proof of principle, Kok says that the goal is to have a team located within each readiness division to ensure that units are ready and capable to fulfill their mission when the time comes.

Army Reserve preparing to fight on a new battlefield

WASHINGTON – "We've been fighting a certain type of way for the last 17 years and the next fight may look very different," said Chief of the Army Reserve Lt. Gen. Charles D. Luckey during a panel, Oct. 9.

The panel, hosted by Luckey, took place at the annual Association of the United States Army Annual Meeting and Exposition held in Washington, D.C. The overarching theme included how the U.S. Army Reserve, alongside the Active and National Guard components, is preparing to fight and win America's future wars as one, well-oiled machine.

"This is about going to high-end, contingency operations in the most contested environment in the history of civilization and having to surge – in our case, that's [mobilizing] 42,000 to 45,000 Soldiers very quickly," said Luckey. "The Army's never had to fight that way before."

What does it take for the Total Army to operate in a constantly-changing, complex battle space?

Contributing panel members who addressed this question included Lt. Gen. Christopher Cavoli, the commanding general of U.S. Army Europe, Lt. Gen. Michael D. Lundy, the commanding general of U.S. Army Combined Arms Center and Lt. Gen. Aundre Piggee, the deputy chief of staff for U.S. Army logistics.

The U.S. Army Combined Arms Center is planning major training events for the Total Army that will involve multiple units, starting at the brigade level and higher, simultaneously mobilizing and operating under the same Army doctrine – but under very different scenarios, said Lundy.

This will help identify shortfalls in capabilities, particularly with respect to setting up a theater in a combat environment, perhaps on multiple fronts.

"An often, overlooked aspect of a well-set theater is what the Army Reserve puts into [it]," said Cavoli. "My demands are more dynamic than the Active Component has the elasticity to fill. Gen. Luckey is so generously working with us to ensure what they [U.S. Army Reserve] do now, since the situation has changed, is helping us to set the theater."

Generating the decisive combat power required to win the nation's wars is Luckey's top priority. Two years into his tenure, he is shifting the culture of America's Army in order to be the most capable, combat-ready and lethal reserve force in the Nation's history.

"Frankly, I take it very personally," said Luckey. "We're making sure we're able to get after it and making sure this component of the Army is ready to roll when we've got to move."

Army Reserve Chicago-based command partner with local police for Active Shooter exercise

Violation of the posse comitatus act? Or more military getting ready for martial law?

Soldiers partnered with the Arlington Heights Police and their neighboring staff from the Defense Contract Management Agency-Chicago for the exercise. More than 100 staff personnel across all of the organizations participated in the building-wide exercise to measure the effectiveness of mass communication systems, staff actions during and after an active shooter event to include securing locations, and medical assessments. The leadership's actions during and after the event were also assessed, along with coordination with local law enforcement and armed guards.

Think about that for a minute. The reserves are for domestic deployment and when needed by regular forces. It is my understanding that the reserves and regular army operate somewhat independent of each other by are now operating together… Not normal….

Trump is a germophobe. I am sure he will take precautions…

KEK

Indeed but, divided dems in the house and united republicans in the senate is a good thing all around. Dems divided and if Pelosi loses the speakership, then maybe all of the talked about investigation of Trump bullshit will somewhat die down. Just a thought….

Wonder what the fuck she is wearing on her back… Can notice it in the video….

Yeah he is great is he not? Great source of information….

A rock will stand on seven hills.

God will reign over the middle-east, bringing peace to the region

One thing to consider changing. Rome was built on 7 hills so could this not be a reference to the Arch Angel setting down upon the vatican? Or Christ?

THE GOD OF FREEMASONRY

Interesting read

The God of Freemasonry is an important thing to know if you are interested in zooming in on the source of evil in this world. Centuries of leaked documents, former insider accounts and scholarly research has shown that Freemasonry has become the most pervasive, influential and powerful of all the Secret Societies on Earth. Many US Founding Fathers were masons. Many leading figures of the French Revolution were masons. Many US presidents have been masons. Freemasonry inspired Mormonism and was a central theme behind the occult assassination of JFK. People in high positions of power place their oath to Freemasonry above their oath to serve the people who elected them; some such policemen and judges make decisions not based on truth and justice but rather based on protecting the masonic network, the Lodge and their masonic brethren. Many lower level masons are deliberately kept in the dark, not told what they are getting into, but what are the higher levels initiates really worshipping? Who or what is the god of Freemasonry?

The Great Architect of the Universe

In trying to decipher the god of Freemasonry, there are many clues that point towards a dark force that is the engineer or creator of this world, especially the dystopian aspects of this world which some people have dubbed The Establishment, The System or The Matrix. It is no coincidence that in The Matrixmovie series themselves, Neo finally meets his maker, i.e. the being who created the entire system. He is called “the architect” and is represented by a bearded old man. Saturn, god of time, harvest, law and death, is also represented this way. Masons typically refer to their god as the “Great Architect of the Universe” while Gnostics also used the same term in reference to the tyrant they claimed had created a fake, inferior copy of the original perfect world (they also called this force “Demiurge” and “Yaldabaoth”). The primary masonic logo of the letter G is enclosed inside a square and compass, which are tools of an engineer, draftsman or architect who designs and draws with them to create things.

It’s easy to get lost in names here, but the point is to see the connections. There are many names but one underlying force beneath all the names. The Architect/Demiurge is the cruel god who is basically the same force as Satan or the Devil, and goes by many other names, as we shall see.
