Boards are going up in Washington, DC, less than a week from the election, at it seems some businesses are anticipating riots on election night. Andrew Leyden, a freelance photographer in DC, said he caught wind that some in DC were beginning the process of boarding up, so he decided to check it out himself. Indeed, he found that the back entrance of the Post Office near the White House has been covered with plywood boards, and workers are currently boarding up the front side of the office as well. The McDonald’s next to the White House also has plywood going up over the building,

Yep they know this is what the Left resorts to, violence and destruction, when they don't like the results of anything when it doesn't go their way. Let's see how fast Biden deploys the National Guard to quell the upheaval when Trump wins. MAGA

Conservative won't destroy DC if Trump loses. The Commiecrats will either way. But only after first looting the Nike and liquor stores. There will be a mass migration of flat screen TVs.

If any business owners in large blue cities don't do this, they will suffer the consequences. If PDJT wins the election, a certain segment of the population is going to be not happy and you know what happens then.

If Trump wins they will riot because they are having a temper tantrum. If Kamala Harris wins, the riots will be even worse as the residents of DC celebrate their first black female president. They will loot and burn in celebration to usher in the new era of DEI under Kamala.

Probably a good idea. Washington has changed so much since 1968 when the riots were so bad, Lots of urban pioneers and liberal whites have moved in. The old empty lots are now covered with apartment buildings and new business's , but across the Anacostia, the same usual suspects are dwelling there.

This “boarding up” in DC activity is a much better indication, than the bias establishment run polls, that the winner of the election will be Trump as Trump supporters have no history of attacking businesses, but leftist Democrat supporters certainly do big time.

If Donald Trump ends up back in the White House – which would make him the first president since Grover Cleveland in 1893 to serve two non-consecutive terms – his victory will be down to many factors. A rose-tinted view of the economy under Trump before the pandemic struck. The punishing inflation of the Biden years, which pillaged the pocketbooks of ordinary Americans every time they went to buy gas or groceries.

Vice President Kamala Harris added a previously unannounced stop in New York City to her schedule for a surprise cameo on Saturday Night Live. She is appearing on NBC's hit late night show with just three days to go before the election. Earlier this week, Harris failed to lock in an interview with popular podcaster Joe Rogan. He interviewed Donald Trump just over a week ago to record ratings of over 17 million views in less than 24 hours. Rogan confirmed that Harris refused to come on his podcast over scheduling conflicts and a clash about how long the interview would last.

A ruling by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court on Friday is being praised by conservatives working to safeguard election integrity. The court stopped an effort to allow mail-in ballots without a handwritten date to be counted in the 2024 presidential election, which culminates on Tuesday, Fox News reported on Saturday. “The ruling overturns a decision from a Commonwealth Court finding that the state law requiring a handwritten date was unconstitutional,” the outlet said. “The Pennsylvania GOP appealed that ruling to the state supreme court, and now undated mail-in ballots will not be counted in the upcoming election.”

Locals of a tiny California town are turning out in their droves to back Donald Trump for the presidency, despite being in a Democratic heartland. Discovery Bay, on the east of Contra Costa County, in the San Francisco bay area hosts just a single supermarket, as well as a harbor and yacht club. The town is an anomaly in the largely Democratic state of California, with the majority of residents supporting Trump in the 2020 election. Residents Paul and Connie Rodgers, both Republicans, had moved to Discovery Bay from nearby Marin County in 2017 without realizing that the town was red.

The aerospace giant — which was slammed by tech mogul Elon Musk for prioritizing DEI over safety and quality controls after a near-catastrophic blowout during an Alaska Airlines flight — said staff from its DEI office would be absorbed into another human resources team focused on talent and employee experience, according to Bloomberg News.
