1. They should look in some of the state houses for terrorists

[TwilightZone]

3. I have little doubt that they already are.

The state rep in West Virginia can probably count on his career being over and might be looking at prison time.

5. Yes, send in some police officers to interroga--

oh, wait a minute

2. Thanks for posting. This was just being discussed on CNN #Breaking

but I missed a lot of it. So this important bulletin automatically flies to the top of my concerns for today.

9. Thanks. *Gulp* This has that familiar "shit gets real" feel to it.

4. I thought they weren't attacking until 4/3/21

[Mike 03]

8. I think March 4 is more of a QAnon thing. Not sure they have threatened violence but

that is the "Magic Day" that Trump takes office and, I guess, Biden and all the Democrats are arrested, or executed, or whatever.

[Bucky]

10. Yes, March 4th... as in "forth"

I'm not a fan of gimmick dates, May the Fourth being the most egregious of puns. "March forth" is bad too, but it can also be written as 4/3/21 and makes perfect sense, since from a historical point of view, if you attack American you're already on the British side. Redcoats, Red Hats, whatever.

13. There trouble will die down in the summer heat...

...just like Covid

[LiberalArkie]

14. Really in the spring and summer most light skinned people will pick up enough Vit D to help.

I noticed that during the spring break that the people that stayed outside did not have as many problems as those that hung out inside the bars all the time. At least that is the theory.

I can not wait until Thursday to get my first covid shot.

6. Hope some more detail on what DHS knows comes out.

[Mike 03]

12. Some key paragraphs from the official memo:

Summary

The Acting Secretary of Homeland Security has issued a National Terrorism Advisory System (NTAS) Bulletin due to a heightened threat environment across the United States, which DHS believes will persist in the weeks following the successful Presidential Inauguration. Information suggests that some ideologically-motivated violent extremists with objections to the exercise of governmental authority and the presidential transition, as well as other perceived grievances fueled by false narratives, could continue to mobilize to incite or commit violence.

Duration

Issued: January 27, 2021 11:00 am

Be Prepared

Avoiding large crowds, including protests, is safest due to ongoing pandemic conditions. However, if taking part in protests do so peacefully, safely, and wear masks.

Be responsible for your personal safety. Make note of your surroundings and security personnel. Carry emergency contact as well as medical and other needs information with you.

Connect, Plan, Train, and Report to prepare businesses & employees.
