Something big is obviously going on. Last week there were numerous reports of a four-hour plus meeting in the White House regarding the tactics to contest the results of the election. It was, by all accounts, a very heated discussion. There were the traditional leaks that painted this in the worst possible way. But perhaps the best account was from Patrick Byrne, former CEO of Overstock.com, who was in the meeting. The following article explains a lot about this man:

Byrne, Sidney Powell, and Lt. General Michael Flynn were all part of that meeting. Powell has been back to the White House twice since then, including Monday when Trump met with Republican congressional representatives. Congressional representatives who left pledging to contest the results of the electoral college on January 6, 2021.

Trump is President of the United States and he has access to the DOJ and our intelligence agencies who should have been able to verify election fraud if it happened. But, so far, no one has really made the case. If there was massive fraud, which seems beyond obvious, there must be more than this.

The person in charge right now is Donald Trump. He does not play by anyone else’s rules and history shows us that he gets things done no one thought possible. The peace efforts in the Middle East, violating every rule of diplomacy, are proof of that.

We have never had a year like this. Almost anything is possible. Somethings are clear. Somethings border on bizarre. Either Sidney Powell has the evidence, or she is a delusional fool. A President of the United States knows things no one else knows, but he is also one of the most sheltered people on this planet and sometimes it is impossible to get information past his gate keepers. If you want to see how this works, watch Tora, Tora, Tora again. See how the Military Establishment decided when and what information was provided to FDR.

This President, more than most, has a history of bypassing the establishment. He gets input from people who strongly disagree with the status quo. That is one reason the establishment hates him. Some, perhaps most, of the people giving him advice know less than he does about the subject.

Real life is always messy. Trump was told by Fauci and Birx that if he did not lock down the country, 2.5 million people would die. That was wrong. As of today, there are reportedly 1.7 million deaths world-wide, and that is probably over-stated. COVID 19 is very real, but the exaggeration of the risk is equally real. A lot of people, particularly Governors in Democratic states, made drastic decisions based more on emotion than on scientific reality. Today we are all paying a harsh price for those decisions.

In my professional career I learned that it is critical to ask questions from people who think outside the box. There were many times when people I knew and respected recommended one thing, but someone else, mostly ignored, had a very different opinion. Sometimes, those opinions turned out to be most accurate. Sometimes the person who looks at this from a completely different perspective is the one with the clearest vision.

So far, Trump has listened to the professionals regarding how to contest this election, and they have let him down. His legal team has often looked like a clown show, losing more often than it wins. That is because they were playing on the opposition’s field under the opposition’s rules with the opposition’s referees.

Donald Trump is a lot of things, but he is not stupid, and he is not delusional. He knows that unless something changes, he is on his way out of the White House. That does not mean he has given up and it does not mean that he is going to do something drastic like declare martial law. Trump has a history of disruptive and rash rhetoric, but he also has a history of making good decisions.

Trump is now listening to people ignored by almost everyone one. Sidney Powell is at the top of that list. She is either delusional, or she is right. She can either prove systemic fraud, or she can’t. As for me, the hardest thing to believe is that 80 million people really voted for Joe Biden. That is what seems delusional.

Trump is clearly taking over and only a fool underestimates this man. He is listening to all sides and letting people literally shout it out. He has done that before. Sometimes, letting people voice the unthinkable is the shortest path toward reality. It is often those who go against the flow that change the world.

I do not like Jeff Bezos. But he saw the potential for Amazon long before anyone else.  As recently as 2013, Amazon was nearly bankrupt. But Bezos reimagined how people would buy things if he could get this right and he is now the richest man in the world. The person who will push him off this throne is already out there; you just don’t know who that is yet.

This is guaranteed to be a wild week. Trump is going to do something. The clock is ticking, and he is running out of time. He either acts now or faces certain defeat. He already declared December 24, 2020 a national holiday. Perhaps, just perhaps, he is preparing us all for a very White (House) Christmas.
