So here we are in the last days of one of the most contentious national elections in America’s history. Rioting and looting have broken out again in Philadelphia following the shooting death of a knife-wielding black man shown on video charging at police. Reports are that Black Lives Matter, to chants of “pigs in the hood ain’t no good”, are stoking the unrest as over 30 police officers have been injured trying to quell the violence and destruction. The governor has sent the Pennsylvania National Guard to help restore order. A citywide curfew has been declared starting tonight.

This latest outbreak is but a reminder of the seemingly endless rioting, looting and burning that have been instigated by Black Lives Matter and Antifa in Philadelphia, Chicago, Portland, Seattle, Minneapolis and similar progressive population centers. In some instances, Black Lives Matter has taken its campaign of intimidation and property destruction to the suburbs.

So it is that with this latest outbreak of mob violence, BLM is making its latest and well-timed in-kind contribution to the success of President Trump’s campaign in Pennsylvania. The only way they could help further would be if they ventured into the comfortable upper middle class Philadelphia suburbs where Biden-Harris signs proliferate and nary a Trump sign is to be seen. After all,  it would help remind people of what they are voting for.

In Philadelphia and suburbs, it is most certainly disagreeable if not downright dangerous to openly support the President. Trump yard signs are subject to vandalism and theft, and wearing a MAGA hat can be a ticket to the emergency room. No wonder that political professionals have identified the “shy” Trump voters who will not voice to pollsters their true electoral intentions as a material impediment to accurate polling.

Of course, the intimidation and fear factor are not limited to southeast Pennsylvania. The New York Post reports that Trump supporters in Milford, New Hampshire recently received the following anonymous threatening letter:

You have been identified by our group as being a Trump supporter. Your address has been added into (sic) our database as a target for when we attack should Trump not concede the election. We recommend that you check your home insurance policy and make (sic) that it is current and that it has adequate coverage for fire damage.

You might dismiss this as being limited to a small town in New England. But until today a nationwide database of all those who have contributed to Trump’s campaign was published on line. Its name was Donald Trump Watch – Americans that donated to the worst president in history 225,000 DEAD. It was searchable by name and address and helpfully provided the amounts contributed.

Given the present climate of unhinged violence, Donald Trump Watch was a stark example of “doxxing”, the intimidation of targeted individuals by publishing their names and addresses so that they will live in fear of physical and online harassment and attacks by persons unknown.

According to Donald Trump Watch‘s “Terms of Use” page, by accessing the website, the user was purportedly agreeing not to use it to do, among other things, the following:

• use the [database information] in any way that abuses, defames, stalks, annoys, threatens, harasses or violates the rights of privacy, publicity, intellectual property or other legal rights of a person or entity (now or hereafter recognized) or which encourages conduct which would violate any law or give rise to civil or criminal liability or post, publish, transmit, distribute, disseminate or upload any inappropriate, infringing, defamatory, profane, indecent, obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, excessively violent or illegal/unlawful material or matters, including, without limitation, information, topics, names or other material;
• attempt to impersonate another user or any other third party by selecting or using the name, address, email address or other identifying information belonging to another user or other person, or otherwise;
• use a user name, address, credit card information, email address, pseudonym or other identity belonging to any other person, for any reason whatsoever, without the prior express written authorization of such person;
• use a false “header” – the legend attached to email messages to show the message’s point of origin, route and destination – or otherwise falsely configuring email;
• use a user name, email address, or header that DTW, in its sole discretion, deems inappropriate;

In other words, after cataloguing all of the ways that the database information could be used to harass, defame, attack, destroy and vilify the listed individuals, Donald Trump Watch piously yet fatuously forbade its users from doing so. The website’s promoters seemed to believe that this toothless prohibition and flimsy fig leaf would protect them from legal liability if anyone doxxed by Donald Trump Watch should come to harm.

Apparently the message got through to Donald Trump Watch‘s sponsors that they needed to repackage their website to make it appear to be less of an invitation to harass and attack Trump supporters. As of today, this link, which formerly took the reader to Donald Trump Watch with its opening page condemnation of Trump and his supporters, now connects to a website called Donor Watch which catalogues donors to Trump, Obama and others. What led to this change is unknown. But regardless of the new packaging, it does not erase the clear previous intention of the website promoters to dox Trump supporters.

Recently, I brought Donald Trump Watch to the attention of the audience of the Conservative Commandos Show on the American Uncensored News Network. You can access the broadcast on YouTube by clicking on this link. Hosts George Landrith and Dr. Nasir Shaikh interviewed three guests that day. The first was Danielle D’Souza Gill, daughter of Dinesh D’Souza and author of the best selling The Abortion Divide in America (available on Amazon). Her segment starts at the 30 minute mark.

Next was Gerard Lameiro, Ph.D., author of Real World Socialism (also available on Amazon). His segment starts at the 1 hour mark.

I batted clean up starting at the 1 hour and 30 minute mark. In addition to Donald Trump Watch, we discussed the ongoing machinations of the Democrat majority on the Pennsylvania Supreme Court (we elect our judges here) to rewrite election law to benefit their political allies. They have extended the deadline for receipt and counting of ballots by three days after the statutory Election Day deadline and decreed that the mail-in ballots need neither postmarks nor signatures by the purported voters. Hey, what could possibly go wrong?

The Pennsylvania G.O.P. appealed this ruling to the U.S. Supreme Court only to have Chief Justice Roberts (the Savior of Obamacare) side with the court’s liberals to produce a 4-4 tie which let stand the ruling below. But now, with the ascension of Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court, the Pennsylvania Republicans are seeking reconsideration of their appeal. The national election could hinge on how the U.S. Supreme Court decides the issue.

I am working on an article about all this for The American Spectator and will post it on this site soon.

In the meantime, I hope that you will enjoy the broadcast.
