Backers of President Trump descended on Washington, D.C. Saturday in another sign of support for the president, who has come up short in his efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.

Supporters with Trump flags and hats gathered at Freedom Plaza near the White House chanting “Four More Years” and “Stop the Steal” to urge Trump to keep on fighting to stay in the White House. Organizers of the Women for America First rally were expecting 15,000 participants for the rally and march to the Supreme Court.

One speaker at the rally was retired Gen. Michael Flynn, Trump’s former national security adviser, who told the crowd he was confident Trump would remain in office.

“When people ask me…on a scale of one to 10, who’s going to be the next president of the United States? I say: 10, Donald J. Trump … without hesitation.”

Trump last month granted a pardon to Flynn, who pleaded guilty in 2017 to lying to the FBI about his contact with a Russian ambassador, but later claimed innocence.

“The fraud that is being perpetrated on the United States of America through this previous election is outrageous,” Flynn told the rally crowd near the White House. “It’s outrageous. We will not accept it.”

Trump appeared to be pleasantly surprised by another show of support in the Democratic stronghold of D.C.

“Wow! Thousands of people forming in Washington (D.C.) for Stop the Steal,” Trump tweeted Saturday morning. “Didn’t know about this, but I’ll be seeing them! #MAGA”

During the last major “Stop the Steal” rally in D.C. on Nov. 14, Trump and his motorcade drove through the downtown D.C. crowd to wave to supporters before heading to his golf resort in Virginia.

SUPREME COURT DECLINES TO HEAR TRUMP-SUPPORTED TEXAS CASE OVER ELECTION RESULTS IN FOUR OTHER STATES

Two pro-Trump groups applied for park permits for rallies on Saturday.

The “March for Trump” demonstration organized by the Women for America First kicked off at noon. Speakers included “My Pillow” guy Mike Lindell and former Trump aides Sebastian Gorka, Boris Epshteyn, and Katrina Pearson, who encouraged supporters to keep up the fight to overturn the election results.

“I’ve read the Constitution. I don’t think Joe Biden has,” Gorka told the crowd, “but I’ve read the Constitution. And I know one thing: It ain’t over until January 20th.”

The presidential inauguration is Jan. 20.

Trump supporters made clear they will continue to fight back regardless of the media and court rulings and will not accept Biden as president.

“In 2016, they had this thing called the resistance, do you remember that?” Pearson said of the left’s movement against Trump. “You haven’t seen a resistance until patriots show up to defend the republic.”

A second pro-Trump rally was set for the Sylvan Theater on the National Mall, where organizers planned for 500 people, according to their national park permit.

Meanwhile, the “Refuse Fascism” anti-Trump group scheduled a counter-protest in Black Lives Matter Plaza at noon, with the message: “Trump: You Lost. Get the Hell Out!”

The rallies come a day after a major legal defeat for Trump, when the Supreme Court Friday declined to hear a Texas case that challenged the election results in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia, and Wisconsin.

PENNSYLVANIA ACCUSES TEXAS OF SEEKING ‘TO DECIMATE THE ELECTORATE’ IN FIERY SUPREME COURT BRIEF

Trump has repeatedly alleged he beat President-elect Joe Biden, and claims there was widespread voter fraud. But states have stood by their results and courts have repeatedly rejected Trump’s legal claims that Biden’s victory — by a margin of more than 7 million votes nationwide — should be tossed out.

The Supreme Court order does not foreclose any other pending or future election appeals at the Supreme Court, but time is running out.

The states are scheduled to meet on Dec. 14 for the Electoral College exercise. And on Jan. 6 there will be a joint session of the House and Senate to count the electoral votes and certify Biden as the winner.

On Saturday, the Biden transition team praised courts for tossing out Trump’s “baseless” legal claims.

“The Supreme Court has decisively and speedily rejected the latest of Donald Trump and his allies’ attacks on the democratic process,” Biden transition official Michael Gwin said in a statement. “This is no surprise — dozens of judges, election officials from both parties, and Trump’s own Attorney General have dismissed his baseless attempts to deny that he lost the election. President-elect Biden’s clear and commanding victory will be ratified by the Electoral College on Monday, and he will be sworn in on January 20th.”

A spokeswoman for the Metropolitan Police Department said there had been six arrests in connection with the demonstrations as of early Saturday evening.

“They all knew it was false, Sean,” Sidney Powell told “Hannity“. “This was a deliberate, malevolent, concerted effort to destroy an honest man and thereby get to the president of the United States to destroy him.”

“There’s no doubt about it whatsoever,” Powell added.

MICHAEL FLYNN PROSECUTION: A TIMELINE OF TRUMP’S EX-NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISER’S CASE

The Justice Department on Thursday moved to drop its case against Flynn after internal documents were released raising serious questions about the nature of the investigation that led to Flynn’s plea of guilty to a single count of lying to the FBI.

In a court filing, the DOJ said it was moving to dismiss the case “after a considered review of all the facts and circumstances of this case, including newly discovered and disclosed information.”

DOJ officials said they concluded that the FBI interview of Flynn from which his guilty plea stemmed was “untethered to, and unjustified by, the FBI’s counterintelligence investigation into Mr. Flynn” and that the interview was “conducted without any legitimate investigative basis.”

Powell encouraged viewers to read the documents for themselves.

“The government’s own reports, the agents’ own notes, they’re all attached as exhibits to the government’s filing today and our filings in the last 10 days or so,” Powell said.

“It’s important for people to see it for themselves,” she added. “The actual evidence in the government’s own handwriting and documents.”

Whoever suspected that it would be DOCTORS in Federal agencies that would cripple the United States of America?  How did this happen?  Suddenly we’ve had governors, mayors, and county commissioners issuing unconstitutional “orders,” which if disobeyed can land you in jail as demonstrated by the lady salon owner in Dallas, Texas of all places.

Suddenly governors and other “local officials” have powers none of us ever realized.  They cannot be overturned by a court, at least not now.  And woe be to whoever considers “disobeying.”  In several instances, they’ve become angry and set out to accuse, humiliate, and punish anybody who steps out of line.  We don’t have or didn’t have, people with King-like powers over we little children, waiting patiently to find out what we can and can’t do; what we can and can’t think or say.

The President has been criticized and accused for supposedly behaving dictatorially.  There’s been no shortage of outrage on all the mainstream outlets, because Trump thinks he can make dictatorial decisions on any number of issues (true or otherwise), and we’re told we’re in danger of coming under a third-world dictatorship.  But now he’s not dictatorial enough, and the very same critics are outraged that he’s not issued national, uniform orders “to keep everybody safe.”  Oh yeah, we need to be led around by the hand, waiting for the latest “order,” or we’re guilty of endangering ourselves and everybody else.

Our founders never sanctioned this kind of power being exercised by any agency of federal or local government.  Our Constitution and Bill of Rights were drafted to make sure the public would never become subservient to the whims, fears, or aspirations of officials.  Not that they might not try to justify the use of “emergency powers” for sake of public safety.  But here’s an analogy that is worth considering.  How many times have we seen “mandatory” evacuation orders based on the approach of a powerful hurricane?  Several if not many times, right?  But people sometimes choose not to abandon their property, whether they’re worried about looting, or they just reject the forecast.  Do you know of any circumstance where people have been prosecuted and jailed for failing to obey a “mandatory” evacuation?  No!  Because this is the United States of America!  Officials don’t get to punish people for things that are not, and could not be established as Constitutional law.  They’ve never even tried.  But as we all are reminded several times daily, these are “unprecedented times.”  Do tell.

One of the primary hurdles that any proposed law must clear in order to be declared Constitutional is that it apply to everyone equally.  How on earth do officials have the authority to declare some jobs “essential” and others not?  Is that hidden somewhere in the fine print of our Constitution?  No, it isn’t.  So there will be an explosion of lawsuits, with the resulting damages liable to bankrupt every city and state that imposed legal (or illegal) punishments for people and their jobs declared “non-essential.”  Millions (so far 20 million-plus) are unemployed because their line of work was declared “non-essential.”  If and when the judicial system ever figures out how to hold court again there will be legal challenges, probably thousands of them.  Legislatures are going to have to get busy and pass laws that prohibit suing states, counties, and cities for damages resulting from this.

None other than Ronald L. Dart stood before a church congregation some years back and related that one of the worst things that can happen to you is to have doctors or lawyers in control of your life.  Well, it seems that is exactly what has happened to all of us. Officials have had to take the nation to the brink of destruction in order to “keep everybody safe.”

Life wouldn’t have been much fun at all if Dr. Fauci had been keeping us all “safe.”  Think about it.  If you’ve ever enjoyed any activity during which some get injured or killed, and about 20 come to mind immediately, the doctors would undoubtedly recommend against it.  Thankfully, they haven’t been making our decisions for us, or life wouldn’t have been nearly so fulfilling.

But it turns out that the little doctor has quite a history of destroying those who dare disagree with him.  The social media giants are banning testimony that tells those stories from the victims’ perspective, but they’re making the rounds anyway. Surely the President cannot be unaware of these things.  Though he did declare a state of emergency under what was undoubtedly unbearable pressure, it was the governors and other local officials who’ve “mandated a shutdown.”  Whether the nation survives it, how many years it takes to compensate for the damage done we’ll just have to see.  Some governors had the good sense not to “mandate” everybody stay home.  Too bad there weren’t more.

The U. S. is not the only nation to have “shutdown” economically over the panic.  Britain is in historically dire straits.  The EU was already in big economic trouble and some believe this will further weaken the European Union to the point of collapse. Australia, Canada, and every so-called western nation is on the brink of economic collapse and it’s all somehow justified by the queer “numbers” of COVID cases and the purported death toll?

We’re all going to die someday, and we hope that day is way off in the unforeseeable future.  But this might be a good time to remember that the first lie ever told was in the garden of Eden when Satan told Eve, “You shall not surely die…”   Unless we’re alive at the Second Coming, we’re all going to die sooner or later.  But this is unacceptable in popular culture.  “People are dying!”  And they claim everybody who is dying is dying from you know what.  But, look it up if you must.  The death rate in nearly every circumstance is equal to or lower than the statistics from every other year.  How can that be when the bat flu is killing people right and left?  Shouldn’t the death rates increase by at least as many COVID deaths they’re reporting?  Kind of makes you go, hmmm, doesn’t it?  Maybe it’s the decrease in traffic deaths with so many “sheltering in place,” but it’s doubtful that makes up the difference.

The corruption of the alphabet agencies is coming to light through the belated release of notes and documents that have been purposely hidden (corruptly Classified).  Not that we hadn’t figured out exactly the unthinkable truth three years ago, but the media wouldn’t admit what was up.  They were lying through their teeth and pitying those of us who didn’t believe them.  Well, time’s up.  We’ve only waited three years, and the mainstream media still won’t accept what is plain on its face.  But it’s finally safe to respect General Flynn, who’s been completely exonerated (finally) thanks to one brilliant, no-nonsense lady attorney, Sidney Powell.  Thank God that there’s one fearless lady, unafraid to demand the truth and use the system to expose those who were running “the system.”  But that’s for another day, and a little good news is welcome.  But it’s not good news to the news anchors, and that’s good news too!  Thanks to all, and have a great Sabbath.

The post Weekly Update by Mark Armstrong – 8 May 2020 first appeared on Garner Ted Armstrong Evangelistic Association.

We were warned that hospitals would be overrun.  They were sure to run out of ventilators, if not hospital beds.  Car companies were recruited to manufacture ventilators instead of cars.  Now nobody knows what to do with them all, and they’re being shipped to other countries all over the world.  Decisions that upended and impoverished millions were made based on predictions that were wildly inaccurate.  But don’t worry, they’ll all get “government money.”

The illness is real, not a hoax.  But “reporting” on the matter is a story unto itself.  This isn’t the media’s first rodeo.  Maybe they believe they’re getting better at perpetuating these frauds on the American public.  They spent three years trying to make us believe that General Michael Flynn was a Russian agent, and said those very words on the air.  They were sure or wanted all of us to be sure, that Trump was doing the bidding of Vladimir Putin, and said as much so many times you couldn’t count them.  (That’s all blowing up in their faces with new revelations this week.  Documents that prove the whole thing was a frame job have been released.  For some unknown reason the DOJ and FBI have been sitting on these all this time, and they prove what we’ve known for nearly three years.  But the mainstream still hasn’t a clue.)  After manipulating the public for years with nonsense that was obvious to anyone not relying on the mainstream papers and networks, we’re supposed to buy the panic they’re selling?

It looks like they’re inflating the numbers of illnesses and deaths.  We know all the early projections were four and five times the actual COVID numbers are as queer as several of the news anchors who report them.  There are numerous anecdotal examples, unreported in the mainstream press, to show that illnesses and deaths are being attributed to the virus on the basis of assumption.  The reason may have something to do with the allocation of “government money.”

But it’s a smirkfest on CNN.  A video is played of the President stating that he hopes to be able to hold rallies again, beginning sometime before the November election.  When the camera returns to the anchor desk you get a series of knowing looks (Don Lemon), a disgusted scowl, and an exasperated shaking of the head.  They just cannot believe what a dork we’ve got for president, or that any sane person wouldn’t agree.

Speaking of queer numbers, have you seen how badly Joe Biden is going to beat President Trump in the upcoming election?  Oh yeah, he’s going to beat Trump as soundly as Hillary Clinton did, maybe worse.  They love their numbers, don’t they?  Especially when their numbers are impossibly bad for President Trump.  Then they sneer at us for rejecting “facts.”  Given their recent and continuing record, it becomes clear, this is no accident.  They’ve pushed one false narrative after the other, beating each to death. But nothing works on the public like fear.

The great toilet paper crisis was utterly unnecessary.  But stand by.  They are pushing a meat shortage now, and one will probably be created leaving empty counters at the supermarket.  Apparently, that’s already the case in some places.  The news people are terribly skeptical about states allowing people to go about their lives while the “death count” is still rising.  But then, they haven’t been very good about predictions.

The reaction to the pandemic has been like an exercise in socialism.  We’re seeing dictatorial actions that make little logical sense, and then more drastic clampdowns when people do what they want anyway.  Like what happened at California beaches last weekend.  Aerial photos made it appear as though people were allowing a lot more than six feet between families. But there were thousands out there and governor Newsom was incensed that his “orders” had been disobeyed.  So this weekend he’s ordered the beaches closed.  Get back indoors, where it’s safe and healthy!  The other thing is the flood of money the government is distributing.  A couple or three trillion is out the door, and we’re beginning to wonder if there’s any end to it.  Are there no longer any consequences when the national debt explodes?

A headline today says the pandemic could last two years.  If the media has anything to say about it, it’s probably all we’ll hear for at least that long.

There’s still no visible sign of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.  Nobody’s sure if he’s sick or dead, or just partying with the concubines at a seaside resort.  At least no one is lowering their children down manhole passages, worrying that a missile strike could come at any moment.  Now we’re wondering what ridiculous “orders” we will be under, and whether the police will jail otherwise law-abiding citizens while letting actual criminals run free.  It’s the “new normal.”  (Forgive me.)

It looks as though we’ll be holding our meetings for the Feast of Tabernacles this year unless Dr. Fauci says otherwise.  Maybe even if he does.  We’ve got more to think about than the latest report, and it’s nice to think about something else for a change.  We’re holding a Sabbath service tomorrow at the regular time and hope things will be normal for everybody soon.
