This is news from 12/16/20 but Rush was talking about this today. Says Showcall "Checkmate" team will be protecting Biden. Worth some research. Maybe another reason for so many National Guard?

Joe Biden's inauguration ceremony will be covered by a security company, that Uncle Sam is paying handsomely, to keep the President-elect safe -- and by the looks of everything they're equipped to do, he'll be in good hands.
TMZ obtained federal procurement docs that show the Secret Service has hired a company called Showcall Security Services to help out with the inauguration in January. The company scored a $7.5 million contract for the job ... and it sounds like they'll be worth every dime of taxpayer money.
Turns out, a division of Showcall, named Checkmate, is what'll be deployed here -- and a glance at their specialties shows why they cost a pretty penny. Checkmate boasts "temporary deployable security assets" that create "hardened perimeters," which can stop vehicle-borne threats and attempted weapons hand-offs of people who get past checkpoints

Checkmate also notes they design and provide "robust access control programs and cutting edge surveillance and threat detection systems" that use data analytics -- so top-notch stuff.
But, wait ... there's more.
Other services Checkmate offers for large-scale events include (but aren't limited to) ... anti-scale fencing, a mobile command post, all types of tactical barriers, golf carts and gators, light towers, traffic control, mobile power generation, tenting and perhaps most useful of all ... portable bathrooms!!!
Of course, we've already heard the inauguration ceremony's gonna be scaled-down compared to years past -- but it's obvious they ain't skimping on protecting the future POTUS.

That be the funniest thing ever if they hack the virtual inaugural, or maybe I have a weird sense of humor.
This is a win-win situation. If nothing happens, that proves their preparations worked.

If something, it most likely will be stomped.

Now the win-win is not there. It is in optics of the inaugural being broadcast across the world. Word on the Street is that our allies were horrified by the Jan 6 'riot'. This will just add to it.

If you have to lock down a major city and up to 40k of armed men and women to protect you in order to spend a couple of hours outside, you may need to look at your politics once again.
Unless it is your politics being played. I think making the US a international laughing stock is one of their goals.

True dat. It's either overkill or fear. My bet is fear.

You are probably right.

For the first time they understood just how angry we are. That made a few of them piss themselves for sure. Politics aside, it has been at least 100+ years since Congress was directly forced to face an angry mob of people.

This will put them on notice that people are willing to go all out to fix things.

I expect both sides of the aisle were scared and not just Dims. The results will be a strong and no holds barred security force that will be willing to kill citizens if needed to "protect" them from ever being scared ever again.

I believe we are seeing it now with Cocaine Mitch now bad mouthing Trump. Others will follow.

Looks to me as if they should have hired geeks - a virtual inauguration is more likely to be hacked than attacked.


Virtual they can do it from the comfort of Biden's basement and no one would know except the people working to pull it off.

I could be wrong but I thought when Trump first got elected they wouldn't let him use his personal security or use his own plane. He had to go with SS and the Air Force. Anybody remember that?

Just so I have this correct - 25k NG troops, 750 active duty troops, restricted travel, restricted air space, an unknown number of secret service, an unknown number of alphabet agencies providing assistance, the DC PD, 200 NYPD officers, and the chinese bidet has to hire a private security company to the tune of 7.5 million?

Just what is it he and the ho are so afraid of?

Its almost as if they didn't win. (sarcasm)
