THE DOCUMENTS for 'Civil War: The Left's Election-Night War Game'

If you watched tonight's show, I hope you took notes, because you need to be prepared for what's coming on election night. We're going to look into the future. Everything I'm about to show you was planned out in advance. As I've been laying out over the past couple of weeks, members of the Obama Administration and State Department wrote the playbook for Color Revolution in the streets. We've seen it play out over the past 3 years, and it culminates on November 3rd.

WATCH: Civil War: The Left's Election-Night War Game

I truly hope none of this happens, but there's no getting around the fact that multiple scenarios have been game planned for election night. There are 7 pillars in a Color Revolution and the first four I previously covered were all about the set up, but now I'm going to show you what they have planned for the execution. As I've been pointing out for over a year now regarding Ukraine, everything always comes back to the relationship between high ranking Democrats and George Soros.

This document serves as Doc Brown's Delorian. It's the left's election night playbook prepared by an organization called The Transition Integrity Project. Its founder is a woman named Rosa Brooks. She's a law professor and columnist that actually worked for the Pentagon from 2009 to 2011. And it should be no surprise that one of her old bosses was... George Soros. I mean, it's almost laughable at this point how blatant they are.

This is an email that was part of the Podesta hack revealed by Wikileaks. Brooks emailed Podesta, referencing a meeting they both attended with George Soros. She ended with an offer of help:

Let me know if there is anything I can do to be helpful to you and Jake.

"Jake" is Jake Sullivan, who worked for Joe Biden when he was vice president, Hillary Clinton, and is now back with Biden as part of his team. So here we have Brooks and the Transition Integrity Project, who claim to be TOTALLY non-partisan, attending big-wig meetings with Democrats at George Soros' house, and offering their help to both John Podesta and Jake Sullivan. Was producing the Preventing a Disrupted Presidential Election and Transition document part of that support?

I showed you last week that the left used that research to wargame everything they're planning to do on election night. The organization that convened the wargame was a group called Fight Back Table, convened, organized and paid for by George Soros.

Again, they don't even try to hide it. This is Soros' organization, Democracy Alliance, where they proudly boast that Fight Back Table is their initiative.

This is entirely a Soros run operation here. His former employee, who still attends high level meetings with both him and top Democrats, wrote the playbook, and Soros' organization sponsored the wargame.

The event was split between two sides: Team Trump and Team Biden. Take note of some of the participants because you're sure to hear from them on November 3rd.

On the "GOP" side, attendees included people like Bill Kristol and former RNC chairman Michael Steele.

That right there should tell you everything you need to know about the Lincoln Project. Not only are they teaming up with Democrats, they're in league with George Soros for crying out loud!

The "REPUBLICANS" also had the former Kentucky secretary of state Trey Grayson in attendance. Guess what he's been writing op-eds about lately?

Yeah... how mail-in-voting is so crucial this year. The hubris of these people is insane. I don't think I've ever seen such a blatant and obvious conspiracy just laid out there for the entire world to see. It's amazing.

For Team Biden, he was represented by people like John Podesta and the former DNC chairman Donna Brazile. But it also included multiple other participants from various backgrounds:

Other participants included political strategists, JOURNALISTS, polling experts, TECH AND SOCIAL MEDIA EXPERTS, and former career officials from the intelligence community, the Justice Department, the military and the Department of Homeland Security.

I almost don't even know where to start with that. They ALL sound crazy, but let's center in on journalists and social media because that goes directly to pillar number 5:

Enough independent media to inform citizens about the falsified vote.

It's a meme at this point to criticize the mainstream media on their bias.

It's a meme at this point to criticize the mainstream media on their bias. We all know it exists and that they're comfortably in bed with the left. But there's a lot more going on here than just your typical left wing bias. They've entered a new phase. Just look at the cover up over any mention at of what's currently happening.

Newt Gingrich mentioned the holy name "Soros", and immediately got shut down... ON FOX! The New York Times called me a conspiracy theorist for talking about Soros' influence over the media. Where's the conspiracy?!

It's well known that Soros funds David Brock and Media Matters with millions. Brock has bragged that his organization directly influences the media. This is an excerpt from a leaked email released by Wikileaks. They bragged that they conducted:

"over 900 on-the-record and off-the-record media interviews" and sent "80 sets of talking points, background materials and briefings on topical issues, 372 surrogates, including influential and frequent pundits on broadcast and cable news." It also sent "media advisories" and "talking points" to "960 members of the national media and 10,756 regional reporters in 28 states," and to "369 televisions producers and bookers."

Soros has financial ties to more than 30major news organizations.

NPR was even caught by Project Veritas of trying to cover up their relationship with him.

This is how you buy the media and control the narrative. This gives Soros, and the left, the ability to cover up anything they want to.

And speaking of cover up. Did you see this from Vox?

They're actually trying to say that we are the ones setting the stage for revolution. Let me get this straight: If I point out what the left is currently doing... I'm the one at fault?

We're entering a new ballgame with the media. They clearly have their talking points, and you'll see it play out all the way through election night. Did you see how they all pounced last week over the claim that Trump wouldn't commit to a peaceful transition of power?

It's so ridiculous, but almost EVERY mainstream outlet picked it up and ran. They're acting as if Trump said he'd barricade himself in the White House if he lost. That's not what he said! He said there would be a continuation because of all the mail-in ballots. That's literally the same thing the Democrats are saying... they just twisted Trump's response, and it was a total set up question for all of them to immediately jump on.

Look at this from page one of the Transition Integrity Project's report:

The concept of "election night," is no longer accurate and indeed is dangerous. We face a period of contestation stretching from the first day a ballot is cast in mid-September until January 20. The winner may not, and we assess likely will not, be known on "election night" as officials count mail-in ballots.

It's basically the same thing Trump was talking about, but with one key difference: The left isn't concerned at all of fraud surrounding mail-in ballots. Now, in any sane environment, this would probably kick off a few warning bells. Especially when we see things like this.

Or what about the military ballots cast for Trump that were discarded? And these are just stories that dropped over the past few days. There's no telling how bad it's going to get... but the left isn't worried one bit.

Interesting...

If you're curious as to what the media is preparing to do leading up to and on election night, you needn't look further than this piece from the Washington Post over the weekend:

It's abundantly clear that Trump plans to fabricate an election "emergency." First, he claimed mail-in balloting, a tried-and-true system, is fraudulent. Now his supporters are trying to harass in-person voters.

Shooting down all questions regarding the mail-in ballots is priority number one. Media priority number two is framing Trump's attempts to ensure the ballots are legitimate as a constitutional crisis. And priority number three is... well look at this next quote:

Let's be clear. There is only one political party in American politics embracing violence. There is only one side refusing to denounce all political violence.

What world is this intended for?! Republicans have condemned the violence since day one. It was the left that refused to speak out against ANTIFA and BLM. In fact, violence is part of their election night strategy, and blaming it on the right is part of that plan.

Pillar 6 is where preparation turns into action:

A political opposition capable of mobilizing tens of thousands or more demonstrators to protest electoral fraud.

You need a network of fully trained and organized street soldiers to apply the necessary bottom up pressure for any of this to work.

I'm constantly amazed over all the topics I've covered over my career that are now coming back into play the more we research what's happening right now. I remember watching the Arab Spring play out in places like Egypt, and then predicting the coming caliphate and the waves of civil unrest that would eventually make its way here. People laughed it off... there goes crazy Glenn Beck again! But the caliphate came, and now we have rioting in our streets.

We later found out that the Obama State Department was training activists through Civil Society 2.0, and George Soros was working right alongside them.

I remember watching Occupy Wallstreetand thinking there was more to come.

This is the original ad that kicked off Occupy. Notice what they list as their inspiration:

Are you ready for a Tahrir moment?

Tahrir, as in the part of the Arab Spring that toppled the Egyptian Government.

The Arab Spring inspired Occupy, and Occupy would become the inspiration for the national hub of left wing activists... the Action Network.

This is the hub for nearly every major street movement over the past several years.

The Action Network was started by a former John Kerry staffer, named Brian Young, when he was frustrated that Occupy Wallstreet fizzled out.

They had a lot of events, they got a lot of attention for around two months, but then it just kind of faded. A platform like ours could have really kept it alive.

The Action Network is like a new and improved Tides Foundation. They're the focal point, and nearly every other major protest and organizing player in the game revolves around them.

Their address is at 1900 L Street in D.C.

That's also the address of the largest immigrant youth-led organization in the country. Wanna guess where they get their funding?

Yeah... spooky dude.

They also share an address with a group called Change To Win, who are affiliated with both the SEIU and the Teamsters. Huh... isn't that convenient?

But that doesn't even come close to the list of mainstream left wing organizations that the Action Network is tied to.

Their 2018 990 IRS form shows partnerships with both — get this — the National Education Association, the largest union in the country, and the AFL-CIO, the largest federation of unions in the United States.

I wonder... how many police unions are part of the AFL-CIO? I'm gonna go out on a limb here and guess that NONE of them realize that they're unwittingly paying dues to an organization that is partnered with The Action Network who is actively organizing events to defund the police.

Try and noodle this one: The AFL-CIO is partnered with Action Network, who is helping to defund the police, and is ALSO hosting petitions for the AFL-CIO to drop police unions. Uhhhhh... conflict of interest?

And as all this is happening at Action Network, guess who just announced a major partnership with them...

The DNC.

I wonder if the DNC knows that Action Network hosts an international ANTIFA defence fund? Totally being rhetorical... I'm pretty sure they know.

Literally all the bases are covered through Action Network. Most of the protests and street movements we see to this very day are being organized through their site. Their partnerships and ties to the largest unions in the country as well as the DNC prove that either the Democrat party is either part of or, at least, condones what's going on.

But I'm not even close to being finished. If you look through the Action Network's site, another big name jumps out.

Multiple entries for Organizing for Action. And who's group is that?

And people actually criticize me for talking about top down bottom up. Obama was building it back in 2008! Back then it was called Obama For America, and it was supposed to be shuddered at the end of Obama's second term. But guess who won the 2016 election and turned everything upside down?

The now renamed Organizing For Action re-launched and set their sites directly on Donald Trump. Again, this is not a conspiracy theory.

The media was reporting on this back in 2017.

Obama is the only former president to remain in Washington D.C. No one in the media thought it was weird. No one in the media pointed out the fact that the former president was remaining to launch an all out assault on his successor.

Obama's little army even produced a "training manual" specifically on how to protest Trump. The manual describes in detail how organizers should flood events in red states to make it appear that Trump was more unpopular than he actually was. It called for "unfavorable exchanges caught on video" and that the goal was to:

Make Republicans, even from safe districts, second-guess their support for the Trump agenda.

Obama's group teamed up with Indivisible to produce the manual.

The material was used in town hall meetings all over the country, sometimes devolving into intimidation and violence. And guess who cheered on Indivisible's campaign to resist Trump?

The Action Network.

We're so far behind on this. It all culminates over the next month. As the founder of Action network recently said:

In some ways, we've just been road testing everything for two years, building up to this moment.

The organization has been built and tested, but the game fully kicks off on November 3rd. We know the future, and we can plan for every step of what they have cooked up... point by point.

Democrats and Republicans from the Lincoln Project — ok so basically all Democrats — wargamed four possible scenarios.

  • Game One: An Ambiguous Result
  • Game Two: A Clear Biden Victory
  • Game Three: A Clear Trump Win
  • Game Four: A Narrow Biden Win

No matter what happens on November 3rd, the left is looking to make gains. It just goes to show you the hypocrisy in the name of this document "Transition Integrity". What they have planned has nothing at all to do with transition integrity. They either want to win, and fundamentally change the country, or — if they lose — they still plan on fundamentally changing the country.

The inspiration for their plans should scare the hell out of you, and it's mentioned on the very first page:

The closest analogy may be the election of 1876, a time of extreme partisanship and rampant disenfranchisement, where multiple states proffered competing slates of electors, and the election was only resolved through a grand political bargain days before Inauguration.

See if this sounds familiar.

In 1876, Republicans controlled both the presidency and the Senate, but Democrats had taken back the House. On election night, the Republican candidate, Rutherford B. Hayes had a slight Electoral College victory, with his opponent leading in the popular vote. In several states, the vote counts were highly disputed.

What followed was the Compromise of 1877. Democrats agreed to concede but only if Republicans would agree to end Reconstruction in the South. Hayes relented, becoming president but opening op Jim Crow Laws in the South. Democrats doing what they do best... revealing their racism and holding people down.

This is their inspiration and it's not a strategy from people that think they're going to win!

Before I go over the 4 scenarios, take a look at some of the things listed as things they are preparing for in advance.

They're organizing a list of a thousand influencers to push the claim that Trump is trying to steal the election. You can expect a heavy dose of Hollywood and social media. On page seven, they're recruiting "moderate Republican Governors" to form their own coalition as well as readying a capital strike and work stoppage to pressure companies.

As I showed you earlier, the left has been busy building a network of street activists for years. On election night, they plan to unleash them. Look at this from page 9:

Team Biden almost always called for and relied on mass protests to demonstrate the public's commitment to a "legitimate" outcome... the possibility for violence will increase significantly.

The classic leftist playbook, but look how they plan on framing it.

President Trump and his more fervent supporters have every incentive to try to turn peaceful proBiden (or anti-Trump) protests violent in order to generate evidence that a Democratic victory is tantamount to "mob rule."

Oh they expect violence, but when it goes down, they'll blame Trump agitators. In what world is this even believable? Who's been responsible for all the violence over the past few months? Are we supposed to believe that the Tea Party will go undercover in black bloc and start chucking molotov cocktails? As ridiculous as this may sound, something like that is exactly the story they'll try and weave.

The first wargame resulted in an utter nightmare. They called it an "Ambiguous Result" with both candidates declaring victory. If the results show both trump and Biden neck and neck, you can expect to see these things happen:

  • Both candidates will declare victory. The Biden campaign immediately deploys their list of one thousand "influencers" to hit the social and mainstream media waves. Now it doesn't mention it here, but what do you want to bet that people like me or Tucker Carlson will get heavily throttled or shadow banned? They'll have a voice... but we won't.
  • The Biden campaign then unleashes what they call their "peaceful rallies", but - as I showed you earlier in the document - they fully expect them to become violent.
  • The left expects Trump to respond by federalizing the National Guard and invoking the Insurrection Act. Tell me… why would he have to do that if what they have planned is "peaceful"?

The game continues with a hypothetical scenario in Michigan where a Trump supporter destroys some ballots, tipping the state for the president. Because of that, the Governor of Michigan decides to send pro-Biden delegates to Washington. So we've got two things of note there: the use of an act of sabotage — something the right is rarely guilty of, but we can't say that about the left — and a state governor defying the results. I'm telling you, they're pulling out every dirty trick in the arsenal... and this was just the first scenario!

Scenario two was somewhat uneventful: A clear Biden victory.

In other words, Biden wins in a blowout. The Democrats think that if this happens that Trump will have no leverage to contest anything. It's actually kind of funny, and you can really see the bias from the Lincoln Project stooges sitting at the table. It actually includes Trump going to Mar-A-Lago to pursue "murky overseas business deals," and launching "MAGA TV." I kid you not. But I think someone should remind them that the king of "murky overseas business deals" is Joe Biden. China? Ukraine? 3.5 million from a corrupt Moscow oligarch? Come on guys...

Game three is what, I think, is most likely what we'll see go down: A clear Trump win.

The scenario assumes Trump takes an Electoral College victory, but loses the popular vote. This is clearly what Democrats think will happen as well. It's why they took inspiration from the election of 1876. Tell me if " transition" is what they're most concerned about here...

Right from the get go, the Biden campaign sends the masses out into the streets. Look how the left frames what happens:

The Trump Campaign planted agent provocateurs into the protests throughout the country to ensure these protests turned violent and helped further the narrative of a violent insurrection.

Rioting and looting will commence, violence will ensue, and who will get the blame? Trump supporters.

Rioting and looting will commence, violence will ensue and who will get the blame? Trump supporters. Get ready because, if everything kicks off as planned, it's going to happen.

The plan then appears to have Biden conceding, but then making a very public retraction:

It capitalized on the public's outrage that for the third time in 20 years a candidate lost the popular vote but won the Electoral College.

This is key for later in the scenario. This has nothing to do with transition integrity, and everything to do with shredding the constitution and our country.

The next stage in the plan has Democrats leveraging their "coalition of governors" to immediately ask for recounts in multiple states. In some of those cases, the governors completely ignore the results and send Biden electors instead.

This is just turn one of the wargame. At the end, this is what they list as to what they can successfully cook up:

At the end of the first turn, the country was in the midst of a full-blown constitutional crisis characterized by: 1) Political chaos; 2) Widespread threats of violence, and sporadic actual violence in the streets; and 4) A hostile, dangerous, highly-partisan, and frequently unconstrained information and media environment.

In summation... absolute chaos. This is what they want to sow on election night, even though Trump has clearly won.

The Biden campaign then announces that they have convinced California, Oregon and Washington to secede unless Congress agrees to fundamentally change the United States of America. I'm not kidding around here... This is their plan! Using that leverage, take a look at this INSANE list of demands.

  1. Give statehood to Washington, D.C. and Puerto Rico.
  2. Divide California into five states to more accurately represent its population in the Senate. (Interesting... they don't request the same for Texas. I wonder why…)
  3. Require Supreme Court justices to retire at 70.
  4. Eliminate the Electoral College.

So... the compromise of 1877 2.0. And we know how that one turned out. The scary thing is that this scenario is clearly what they EXPECT to happen. It's their most likely outcome. Violence, chaos, constitutional crisis and the end of the United States as we know it. It's right there in black and white. We had better start taking them at their word because they're not playing around anymore.

Game four, a narrow Biden win, wasn't as crazy as what they have in store for if Trump wins, but that right there should tell you what they have planned for if Biden wins. All those lists of demands will get pushed through. So regardless, their plans are to destroy America. But I do want to point out a few things.

Democrats fully expect Trump to investigate the large amounts of mail-in ballots, and they're geared up to stop any action the DOJ might initiate. They don't expect Biden to officially be declared the winner until at least a week after the election.

Check this out:

The Trump Campaign stoked chaos and mayhem by urging local police forces to break up Black Lives Matter and pro-Biden demonstrations and encouraging Alt Right / Boogaloo supporters to confront liberal protestors.

Democrats will have rioters in the streets in all scenarios, but the blame will be thrust on Trump. This theme is constant throughout the entire document.

Later in the scenario, the Biden campaign again called for massive civil unrest to continue, where they admit:

Violent skirmishes and vandalism took place during these demonstrations.

Didn't they already make a movie called The Purge: Election Year? Someone tell the Democrats that movies aren't supposed to be real. How else can you describe this? Their plan, in their own words, is to call for civil unrest when they fully expect them to devolve into violence. It's so blatant, if I didn't read it here with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it.

Let's go back to the Obama administration's 7 Pillars.

Number 7: Divisions among the regimes' coercive forces.

As I told you two weeks ago, what they mean by this is the police and military. In order for everything I just showed you to successfully be pulled off, they need the police diminished and the military conflicted. They can't have police dispersing the riots, and they sure as heck can't have the National Guard moving in to support them. There were multiple mentions of National Guard troops in the wargame.

And the attack on the police has continued. Multiple officers were shot in Louisville during the Breonna Taylor riots.

One officer was clubbed in the head with a baseball bat last week in Seattle. Now imagine what's going to happen on election night...

The mainstream media continues to make the case that the military is divided against Trump. Take a look at this excerpt from the fourth wargame where Biden ekes out a narrow win:

A critical moment in the game play was the Joint Chiefs of Staff leaking that internal discussions had taken place about how to handle the escalating situation, including the consideration of resigning in protest of Trump's continued efforts to sow unrest. The leak indicated that the Joint Chiefs' commitment was to the Constitution rather than to the President.

This is a signal. Get on board and get in line.

If the left has their way... this is our future. I hope not, but it's kind of hard to argue that any of this is hyperbolic or conspiracy theory when it's right there in black and white in their own words. I'm revealing all of this... not to cause an uproar. We need the opposite. We need to be level headed. We need to know what they are planning so we can defeat their ideas with our own. When they call for people to hit the streets, we need to show this information with everyone we know. Show them that it was their plan, and that they want to provoke a response. Don't give it. I hope that the Trump team has this information and has made plans. The fate of our country is at stake.

If the left has their way... this is our future.

With the passing of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, there is now the complicated added layer of nominating a replacement for her just weeks before an election. The left is losing its mind over this already.

So, what can you do about any of this? First, vote of course. In-person, at a polling place is the best bet for making sure your vote counts. Democrats have made it sound like polling locations are Republican COVID death traps, yet people somehow manage to survive going to Wal-Mart every day. With so many places offering early voting options now, you will be able to vote in-person if you want to.

Democrats have made it sound like polling locations are Republican COVID death traps...

Especially if the election is close, we know the Color Revolution crowd will pull out all the stops to litigate the results.

Biden's team has already hired 600 lawyers to do just that if necessary. So patience will be required. It will likely take several weeks to get an official result. There will likely be instances of fraud, missing ballots, and found ballots. It will be extremely frustrating.

But regardless of the result, take the high road. Consider taking a social media sabbatical until the storm blows over. At the very least, don't share election rumors. Resist joining mobs — even if it's your favorite team.

I'm not saying roll over and be docile lambs. But we cannot mirror the "burn it down" crowd, because that crowd always fails in the end. Wherever you find yourself, whether in the halls of power or your regular workplace, be the adult in the room. There are much bigger issues at stake here than any one candidate.

Then, get involved at your local level. Support law enforcement. Become an election official. Run for the school board. Give to organizations defending life and liberty.

Do whatever you can to promote the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. If our current national turmoil proves anything, it's that we DO NOT know the Constitution. Work to reverse that trend in your community.

America's past and present failures are not a predictor of our future success. Commit to being the people that embody the mission President Lincoln proposed at the end of his second inaugural address:

With malice toward none; with charity for all... let us strive on to finish the work we are in; to bind up the nation's wounds... to do all which may achieve and cherish a just, and a lasting peace, among ourselves, and with all nations.

And finally, pray hard for grace and peace to reign. Appeal to God to have mercy on this nation that we love in spite of itself.


The tides have turned — and now the very same banks that were pushing heavy-handed environmental, social, governance rules are running away from them.

In a significant victory, a federal judge in Texas has ruled that employers and asset managers cannot use environmental, social, and governance factors in employee retirement accounts. If this ruling holds up — which is likely, given the conservative composition of the appellate court — it will dramatically shift the balance of power between corporations and their employees.

This decision represents one of the most substantial blows to the ESG agenda to date. Companies that have been steering employees into ESG-focused investments, which prioritize progressive values over financial returns, now face legal repercussions. Continuing such practices would directly violate federal law. The ruling forces companies to re-evaluate their commitment to ESG initiatives, and many may withdraw from these funds before the case even reaches the appellate court.

Watching these corporations squirm as they try to backtrack and avoid legal repercussions is ever so satisfying.

The impact of this ruling could very well be the beginning of the end for the ESG movement as it’s been pushed by elites.

In even better news, BlackRock, a major player in the ESG movement, has officially left the United Nations’ International Association of Asset Managers. This is a direct rebuke of the global push for ESG initiatives and a major sign that the tide is turning. In contrast to the Glasgow Net Zero Conference in which the Global Financial Alliance for Net Zero — an organization championed by global elites — was pushing for ESG to be a central focus, BlackRock’s departure from the group signals that even those who were at the forefront of this movement are starting to distance themselves.

But it doesn't stop there. Every major U.S. bank has now announced that they too are leaving the U.N.’s Association of Net Zero ESG Bankers, another key part of the Glasgow Financial Alliance. For years, we’ve been warning that ESG in banking was one of the primary ways elites like Biden, the Davos crowd, and others were planning to reset the world’s economy.

The tides have turned — and now those very same banks are running away from ESG, a powerful signal of things to come. They know they’re on the losing side, and they’re scared that a new administration will come down hard on them for their involvement in these globalist initiatives.

In another win, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau unveiled a shocking new rule that, if it survives, would prohibit many financial institutions from de-banking customers based on their political or religious views, or even certain types of speech. While the rule is not as comprehensive as we need it to be, it’s a step in the right direction — and it includes concerns raised by our allies about the dangers of ESG. The Trump administration has promised to come down even harder on the banks with tougher rules, and this is a very good start.

Watching these corporations squirm as they try to backtrack and avoid legal repercussions is ever so satisfying. Some are running for cover while others are desperately trying to ingratiate themselves with the powers that be. It’s clear that the backbone of these companies is made of rubber, not steel. They don’t really believe in the ESG values they preach — they’re just playing the game to get in bed with the political elites.

Now that Trump is back in town, these corporations are showing their true colors. They never cared about their customers or the values they forced upon them. It was always about the power they could acquire through catering to those in power at the time.

No company should be afraid of the president of the United States. But they’re not afraid of Donald Trump. They’re afraid of the return of the rule of law. They know that fascistic public-private partnerships between the government and corporations are on the way out. That’s a victory for freedom and a victory for the American people.

Inside President Trump's EXCLUSIVE inauguration balls

Inauguration Monday was a busy day for President Trump, and it didn't stop after his inauguration address either. President Trump partied across D.C. long into the night.

Exclusive balls are a D.C. tradition on inauguration night, hosting many of the nation's most influential people. President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump appeared at three of the most prestigious balls: the Commander-in-Chief Ball, the Liberty Ball, and the Starlight Ball.

These parties had star-studded guest lists that included celebrities, musicians, politicians, and many more. Here is a peek into the exclusive inaugural balls:

Commander-in-Chief Ball

Trump's first stop was at the Commander-in-Chief Ball, an event dedicated to the armed forces that defend our nation. The event included a dance where Vice President J.D. Vance and his wife Usha Vance joined the President and First Lady on stage and a performance from the country music band Rascal Flatts and country singer Parker McCollum. President Trump also spoke to U.S. service members stationed in South Korea on a video call and cut a cake shaped like Air Force One with a sword.

Several people of note were in attendance, including Trump's pick for Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, and actor Jon Voight. Musician and avid Trump supporter Kid Rock was also in attendance along with country music star Billy Ray Cyrus.

Liberty Ball

Trump's second stop of the night was at the Liberty Ball, an event thrown for all of Trump's loyal supporters. The event had a magnificent lineup of musicians, including country singer Jason Aldean and rapper Nelly. There was even a live performance of Trump's iconic campaign song, "YMCA" by Village People.

Also in attendance were President Trump's daughter, Ivanka Trump, and her husband Jared Kushner, who appeared on stage with her father.

Wrapping up his night of celebration, President Trump visited the Starlight Ball, which was full of major donors to his campaign.

Shortly after arriving, the presidential couple and the vice presidential couple shared a dance in front of a mock White House. Later the stage featured singer Gavin DeGraw for a memorable performance. Notably, renowned podcaster and comedian Theo Von was spotted entering the event. Von is known for hosting President Trump on his podcast for an in-depth interview during his campaign, which many credit boosting Trump's popularity with the younger generation.

Top five executive orders Trump plans to sign

MORRY GASH / Contributor | Getty Images

Donald J. Trump has officially been sworn back into office, and the restoration of America begins today!

Over the weekend, President Trump gave a sneak peek into the tidal wave of executive orders he has promised to sign on day one. Judging by the nature of these orders, it appears that Trump will hit the ground running, making massive strides toward his campaign promises mere hours after being sworn in. While the scope of the 200-plus orders is wide-reaching, there is a special focus on the southern border, the energy crisis, and purging DEI policies from the federal government.

Below we have compiled a list of the top FIVE executive orders that will be on Trump's desk today:

Declare a national emergency at the border

The situation on the U.S.-Mexico border has been in a state of free fall for the past four years as millions of undocumented, illegal immigrants have flooded into our nation. By declaring this crisis a national emergency, Trump will bring the needed attention to the border, as well as free his hands to act decisively.

Designate cartels as terrorist organizations

Drug cartels are responsible for many of the most heinous crimes committed across the border. These cartels are well-organized and run illicit operations including drug and weapon smuggling and human and sex trafficking. Over the past four years, the cartels have begun to establish themselves deeper and deeper in America, as in the case of an apartment complex reportedly being taken over by a Venezuelan cartel in Aurora, Colorado. By labeling these cartels as terrorist organizations, we can begin handling them with the necessary force required to relinquish their hold on American soil.

Resume construction on the border wall

Shortly after taking office, President Biden halted the construction of the border wall, a project that was a staple of Trump's 2016 campaign. Over the past four years, no progress has been made on the mammoth structure designed to help secure our border—but that ends today.

Declare a national energy emergency

During Trump's first term in the Oval Office, America was energy independent, a status quickly lost under Biden. By declaring an energy emergency, Trump plans to cut through miles of red tape and help America tap its bountiful natural energy sources, such as oil and gas. Under Trump, Keystone XL can resume, and new sources of oil and gas can be tapped for the first time, ending our reliance on foreign energy.

Force the federal government to recognize biological sex

Flying in the face of the woke ideology that has been permeating the American government for years, Trump will sign an executive order that establishes a government-wide acknowledgment of the gender binary—that is, that there are only two genders, male and female. This will require all government identifications, such as passports and personnel records, to reflect biological reality and end the forced use of "preferred pronouns." It will also end taxpayer-funded transition procedures for members of the military and prisoners.

15 MLK quotes the far-left does NOT want you to read

While members of the far-left often herald Martin Luther King Jr. as an emblem of their movement, it is ironic that many of MLK's core values and teachings are at odds with their values. On this day when we honor Martin Luther King Jr., one of America's most articulate and transformational leaders, it is important that we remember his teachings as they truly were, and not what the modern-left would like them to be. Here are 15 of MLK's most impactful quotes the far-left would like you to forget.

MLK was a firm believer in non-violent demonstration, unlike ANTIFA and many of the modern-left movements today. He also taught the motivation behind these non-violent movements should be love, not hate.

1. I have earnestly worked and preached against violent tension, but there is a type of constructive nonviolent tension that is necessary for growth. Just as Socrates felt that it was necessary to create a tension in the mind so that individuals could rise from the bondage of myths and half-truths to the unfettered realm of creative analysis and objective appraisal, we must see the need of having nonviolent gadflies to create the kind of tension in society that will help men to rise from the dark depths of prejudice and racism to the majestic heights of understanding and brotherhood. So, the purpose of direct action is to create a situation so crisis-packed that it will inevitably open the door to negotiation.—Letter from Birmingham Jail, 1963
2. After contemplation, I conclude that this award which I receive on behalf of that movement is a profound recognition that nonviolence is the answer to the crucial political and moral question of our time – the need for man to overcome oppression and violence without resorting to violence and oppression. Civilization and violence are antithetical concepts.—Nobel Prize acceptance speech, 1964
3. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred. We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence.—"I Have a Dream" speech, 1963
4. Sooner or later all the people of the world will have to discover a way to live together in peace, and thereby transform this pending cosmic elegy into a creative psalm of brotherhood. If this is to be achieved, man must evolve for all human conflict a method which rejects revenge, aggression and retaliation. The foundation of such a method is love.—Nobel Prize acceptance speech, 1964
5. I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality. This is why right temporarily defeated is stronger than evil triumphant.—Nobel Prize acceptance speech, 1964
6. I still believe that one day mankind will bow before the altars of God and be crowned triumphant over war and bloodshed, and nonviolent redemptive good will proclaim the rule of the land. “And the lion and the lamb shall lie down together and every man shall sit under his own vine and fig tree and none shall be afraid.”—Nobel Prize acceptance speech, 1964

MLK believed just laws are derived from God's law alone. He defined unjust laws as those that do not treat all men equally in dignity, as God's law requires. Civil disobedience is only justified when it involves breaking an unjust law in pursuit of moral law, he taught.

7. How does one determine when a law is just or unjust? A just law is a man-made code that squares with the moral law, or the law of God. An unjust law is a code that is out of harmony with the moral law. To put it in the terms of St. Thomas Aquinas, an unjust law is a human law that is not rooted in eternal and natural law.—Letter from Birmingham Jail, 1963
8. Any law that degrades human personality is unjust. All segregation statutes are unjust because segregation distorts the soul and damages the personality. It gives the segregator a false sense of superiority and the segregated a false sense of inferiority. To use the words of Martin Buber, the great Jewish philosopher, segregation substitutes an "I - it" relationship for the "I - thou" relationship and ends up relegating persons to the status of things.—Letter from Birmingham Jail, 1963
9. We can never forget that everything Hitler did in Germany was "legal" and everything the Hungarian freedom fighters did in Hungary was "illegal." It was "illegal" to aid and comfort a Jew in Hitler's Germany. But I am sure that if I had lived in Germany during that time, I would have aided and comforted my Jewish brothers even though it was illegal. If I lived in a Communist country today where certain principles dear to the Christian faith are suppressed, I believe I would openly advocate disobeying these anti-religious laws—Letter from Birmingham Jail, 1963

MLK did NOT hate America. On the contrary, he loved America's founding principles and fought for the equal application rights of principles and America's Judeo-Christian heritage. He was hopeful rather than hateful of the future of America and mankind.

10. So even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream. I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."I Have a Dream" speech, 1963
11. One day the South will know that when these disinherited children of God sat down at lunch counters they were in reality standing up for the best in the American dream and the most sacred values in our Judeo-Christian heritage.—Letter from Birmingham Jail, 1963
12. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men — yes, Black men as well as white men — would be guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.—"I Have a Dream" speech, 1963
13. I accept this award today with an abiding faith in America and an audacious faith in the future of mankind. I refuse to accept despair as the final response to the ambiguities of history. I refuse to accept the idea that the “isness” of man’s present nature makes him morally incapable of reaching up for the eternal “oughtness” that forever confronts him.—Nobel Prize acceptance speech, 1964

Unlike Critical Race Theory and modern leftist movement, MLK fought against applying special privileges to a particular race. Instead, MLK dreamed of both black and white people living together in love and brotherhood as equals.

14. I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.—"I Have a Dream" speech, 1963
15. When this happens, and when we allow freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, Black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual: Free at last. Free at last. Thank God almighty, we are free at last.—"I Have a Dream" speech, 1963
