It's not alarmist to say there are some bad actors out there who are, at this very moment, planning on disrupting next week's elections. The radical left would like nothing more than to prevent you from voting, and, failing that, will actually take the steps necessary to see that your vote goes up in flames.

For proof of that, we need not look any further than the exploding drop-off ballot boxes in Oregon and Washington. RedState reported this past Monday that three ballot boxes, and the votes held within them, had been deliberately set afire within the past few weeks. There were some early clues as to what might be behind the incidents:

On Monday morning, a drop-off ballot box located in Vancouver, Washington, home to the state's 3rd Congressional District, went up in flames after an incendiary device attached to it exploded, destroying an unknown number of ballots. This is an important district for Democrats in their quest to retake control of the House of Representatives; incumbent Democrat Marie Gluesenkamp Perez is once again facing Republican Joe Kent, whom she beat two years ago by a narrow margin. The Cook Political Report has classified the race as a toss-up.

Being that it's the Pacific Northwest (PNW) we're talking about here, it was likely that it was an unhinged leftist (or leftists) responsible for the arsons. Law enforcement officials almost immediately connected the three incidences – one in Portland, Oregon, and two in Vancouver, Washington – and had some information on the suspect:

Police said Monday that a “suspect vehicle” has been identified in connection with incendiary devices that set fires to ballot drop boxes in Oregon and Washington state.

Surveillance images captured a Volvo stopping at a drop box in Portland, Oregon, just before security personnel nearby discovered a fire inside the box on Monday, Portland Police Bureau spokesman Mike Benner told a news conference.

Well, some additional information has been released by local officials that sheds further light on who's responsible and what axe they are feloniously grinding: 

Investigators found incendiary devices adorned with the message, “Free Gaza,” at the sites of two ballot boxes that were set on fire in Oregon and Washington on Monday, suggesting the arsons may have been committed by an anti-Israel protester.

Not surprising in the least. While a suspect hasn't been named or apprehended, his or her intention is quite clear: to cause as much chaos around the election as possible. All of this was anticipated by the Department of Homeland Security, who back in July "warned Americans about “incendiary and explosive materials” being dropped into ballot boxes leading up to the November election. The intelligence report said an unidentified informant received multiple messages online about how to attack ballot boxes. Cherry bombs, lighting gel, gasoline, and other tools were suggested as possible incendiaries.

Ah, yes, the toolkit of the radical American left. 

The mistake we must not make here is thinking that these are just some isolated incidences perpetrated by some leftist wackadoodle, or that the chaos will only be seen at drop-off ballot boxes in the PNW. We have more than a full year's worth of proof that the pro-Hamas crowd is rage-filled, violent and intent on silencing and punishing those they see as their enemies. 

And there some is pretty solid evidence that they count Kamala Harris as one of their own. Although she pays lip service to Israel and Jewish Americans, her supporters apparently didn't get the memo.

If they're behaving this way after a so-called "unifying" speech, imagine what they'll do if Kamala Harris doesn't win. For that matter, imagine what they'll do if she does win. Let's face it, we have to be prepared for violence or chaos no matter who wins the election. 

This crowd, and the paid agitators within, will use any reason to set American cities alight, and it would be dangerously misguided of us to believe otherwise. They've shown us many times who they are, so let's believe them. 

Chaos is brewing, friends, so be sure you're prepared for any and all eventualities.
