White House Goes On Lockdown Ahead of Election Day
The White House is being put on lockdown in anticipation of rioting and civil unrest which is expected to unfold following the election.
Federal agents have been installing a fence that is non-scalable around the White House, around the Ellipse, and around Lafayette Square as well.
On top of that, 250 National Guardsmen have been put on standby in order to protect the President from any violence that is expected this coming week, and possibly even longer.
We reported yesterday on the coup attempt that we are all but certain is going to happen because we have multiple people representing leftist organizations admitting to it on video.
If you missed it yesterday, here’s the story and the video below:

The fence, similar to the barrier erected along the White House’s perimeters earlier this year amid protests following the death of George Floyd on Memorial Day, will also stretch down 15th Street and Constitution Avenue, as well as 17th Street and H Street, CNN reported.
According to the final Yahoo News/YouGov poll before Election Day, 51% of those surveyed expect President Donald Trump to refuse to concede if he loses the election, and 77% are concerned that violence will break out in the coming days.
“A study released in mid-October also warned that five states — Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin and Oregon — were at risk to experience increased militia activity ahead of the elections and afterward,” The Hill reported. “That report, which was released by the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project and MilitiaWatch, also determined that North Carolina, Texas, Virginia, California and New Mexico were at moderate risk to see increased active militias during the same time period.”
I live in a heavily Republican state and I don’t expect any rioting where I live. Even back when cities across the country were rioting over George Floyd, we had mostly peaceful protests in nearby cities, but I know those were rare. That just comes with living in a mostly conservative area though.
