We will improvise, adapt and overcome!

Loud and clear the orange menace has declared war on the American people.

[The orange menace] stunned even hardened observers when he admitted on national television Thursday morning that he would not agree to additional U.S. Postal Service funding because it would make mail-in balloting easier.

“Now they need that money in order to make the post office work so it can take all of these millions and millions of ballots,” he said. “But if they don’t get those two items, that means you can’t have universal mail-in voting.”

Later Thursday, Vice reported that the Postal Service is removing machines that sort mail ― including ballots ― from offices without an explanation, further raising alarms that Trump will degrade the post office to hurt mail-in voting.

But starving the Postal Service of funding is just one tool at the president’s disposal to slow or stop the counting of ballots sent by mail. Trump’s campaign and the Republican National Committee are already engaged in litigation to prevent voters from easily casting absentee or mail-in ballots. In Pennsylvania, they are trying to block the implementation of ballot drop boxes ― curbside boxes where voters can drop their absentee ballots to be picked up by election officials. In California, the RNC tried to stop the mailing of ballots to all voters, but failed. And the Trump campaign is also challenging a new Nevada law that would mail ballots to all active voters.

So, what are we supposed to do, roll over and accept defeat? Not only NO. But HELL NO!

We are, as Joe Biden has said, in a BATTLE for the soul of America. The BidenHarris2020 campaign raised a record amount of funds in the 24 hours after Biden announced that he had selected Kamala Harris as his running mate. That means 1) America gets it; and 2) of course the Trump campaign will push its fund raising too. Therefore, the battle intensifies and will continue to do so.

What do warriors determined to protect their homeland do when the battles rage? They improvise, adapt and overcome. But first, they have to train themselves (as a team) to think and act like warriors.




I'm not saying we have to be as profane as portrayed in the video above. But we need to take a lesson from Eastwood's character, Gunnery Sgt Thomas Highway and adopt the Can Do attitude with a certain degree of mental discipline such that we do not let Trump's sinister actions disturb or freak us out.

And if you need any additional motivation,



And some quotes/excerpts from One Bullet Away, the Making of a Marine Officer, by Nathaniel Fick,

“Superior thinking has always overcome superior force”

About Marine Officer Candidate School training,
The leadership traits [successful candidates would ultimately exhibit] were bearing, courage, decisiveness, dependability, endurance, enthusiasm, initiative, integrity, judgment, justice, knowledge, loyalty, tact, and unselfishness.

Marching didn’t matter. It was about cool under pressure. It was about detachment. We had to retain our ability to think when the world was crumbling around us.

Regarding training after taking command of an operational platoon,
"My wool watch cap, soaked with salt water, kept slipping over my eyes. I pushed it back to look at Captain Whitmer. He squinted through the blowing spray. I imagined him hearing the siren song of warmth and rest for his troops on the ship and the satisfaction of running a mission as briefed. But this was training, and Captain Whitmer would do whatever challenged the company most, forcing it to improvise, adapt, and overcome."

Never forget that The Obstacle is the Way.

And from the American Crisis, a pivotal essay written during the Revolutionary War by Thomas Paine,

THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.

Throughout America, activists should, can and will organize to have volunteers provide free rides to polling stations/vote centers WITH personal protective equipment. And develop other ways to protect this most critical general election vote.
