Pennsylvania is neck and neck in the presidential race. It’s Philadelphia and Pittsburgh against the “T.” But after working almost twenty years in Pennsylvania politics, I can tell you that most Pennsylvanians, including many conservative Democrats in outlying areas, are for law and order. This cuts across party lines all over the state. Thus, the recent riots in Philadelphia can’t help the Democrats and may push the state into the president’s tally.

FNC reports on the riots, “Multiple explosive devices were found inside a van near Center City Philadelphia on Wednesday night, prompting a response by the city police bomb squad and federal investigators, according to a report. The discovery came as unrest continued in the city in reaction to the death of Walter Wallace Jr., 27, who was killed by police officers Monday. The case remains under investigation. The city was under a 9 p.m.-6 a.m. curfew Wednesday night into Thursday morning in expectation of a third night of vandalism and looting.”

The president commented, “The mayor, or whoever it is, is allowing people to riot and loot and not stop them. It’s also just a horrible thing. I saw the event [the shooting of Wallace]. Everybody did. It was a terrible event. I guess that’s being looked at very strongly. The federal government is looking at it also.”

FNC: “Philadelphia police said they made 81 arrests in Tuesday night’s rioting, with 23 police officers suffering injuries, the newspaper reported. Members of the Pennsylvania National Guard were expected to be deployed in the city by Friday, the Inquirer reported. Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf declared a disaster emergency Wednesday to acquire additional support for dealing with the unrest, FOX 29 reported.”

Explosive devices. Let that sink in. What “idea,” as Joe Biden puts it, deploys explosive devices for riot operations? This is Antifa at work. They are likely coordinated by foreign intelligence agencies with operators in the field disguised as students. The funding and liaison with the Democrats is likely done through the Sanders wing of the party.

And, no matter what, the riots are going to continue and get worse. If Trump wins the riots will escalate in opposition to the result because Biden will refuse to concede regardless of the outcome. He will use Antifa and Black Lives Matter mobs to try and push Trump out of office. They will liken themselves to the “People Power” movements against 80s Eastern and Central Europe communist regimes. Which is, of course, hilariously ironic.

If Biden seems to win at first, and the media will push this, and Trump asks to wait until all the ballots are counted, then he will be termed “desperately clinging to power” and the above scenario also takes place. So, get ready for a bumpy ride for the foreseeable political future with mobs trying to intimidate the electorate. But with certain states that just might backfire. Those states may vote against intimidation and for America and Donald Trump.
