The “insurrection” word gets thrown around ALL the time by democrats, but the truth is NOT ONE PERSON HAS BEEN CHARGED WITH INSURRECTION, REGARDING THE EVENTS OF JANUARY 6TH.
Let me say that again.
NOT ONE PERSON HAS BEEN CHARGED WITH INSURRECTION, REGARDING THE EVENTS OF JANUARY 6TH.
Although hundreds of Americans have been charged with various other crimes, regarding the events of January 6th, NOT ONE PERSON HAS BEEN CHARGED WITH INSURRECTION REGARDING THE EVENTS OF JANUARY 6TH.
Let me say that again.
NOT ONE PERSON HAS BEEN CHARGED WITH INSURRECTION, REGARDING THE EVENTS OF JANUARY 6TH.
You may wonder how that could possibly be, and the answer is probably because it, in reality, was not an “insurrection,” at least by the protesters and rioters that have been targeted by The Department of inJustice.
Kaylee McGhee White, for The Washington Examiner writes, “Reminder: Not one person involved in Jan. 6 riot has been charged with ‘insurrection.’”
“For all the Democrats’ talk of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot being an ‘insurrection,’ it’s important to remember that not one person involved in the riot has been charged with that crime.”
“My colleague Jerry Dunleavy writes, ‘One year after the Capitol riot, no one has been charged with sedition or insurrection, despite initial Justice Department claims that such charges were likely and former President Donald Trump being impeached for allegedly inciting an insurrection.’”
“Surely, if the rioters’ actions were as seditious and Trump’s foolishness [their words, not mine] was as dangerous as Democrats have claimed, we’d be seeing criminal charges that reflect the seriousness of those alleged crimes. But that hasn’t happened.”
“According to the Justice Department, more than 225 defendants had been charged with assaulting, resisting, or impeding law enforcement officers; at least 275 defendants have been charged with obstructing a congressional proceeding; and about 40 defendants have been charged with some sort of conspiracy charge.”
“But, again, no one has been charged with sedition or insurrection.”
Let me say that again.
NOT ONE PERSON HAS BEEN CHARGED WITH INSURRECTION, REGARDING THE EVENTS OF JANUARY 6TH.
“Perhaps that’s why the vast majority of voters on both the Left and the Right don’t agree with Democrats’ characterization of the Capitol riot as an insurrection. A CBS News poll released this week found that 70% of the people who voted for President Joe Biden and 84% of the people who voted for Trump considered the Capitol riot to be a ‘protest that went too far.’”
Now we see multiple states attempting to keep President Trump off of this November’s ballot because he, according to their belief, “incited an insurrection” on January 6th.
The same January 6th where NOT ONE PERSON HAS BEEN CHARGED WITH INSURRECTION REGARDING THE EVENTS OF JANUARY 6TH, INCLUDING PRESIDENT TRUMP.
In truth, President Trump offered to deploy 10,000 National Guard troops to the Capitol that day, but his offer was rejected by Pelosi, who as the Speaker of the House at the time, was in charge of Capitol security.
Now why would she do that?
The idea has been floated she denied troops to help with security because “it would not have been a good look.”
But the Capitol surrounded by fences and razor wire and troops after the fact was a good look?
In reality, I believe she did not want the troops there because they would have actually kept the protestors in line, which was contrary to what Pelosi, and her counterparts, the FBI, desired.
It has been well documented that FBI operatives incited the protestors to march on and enter the Capitol building, and even assisted them with their entry.
All so Pelosi and the democrats could use this event to further their never ending parade of witch hunts against President Trump, and further promote their narrative of the evil MAGA contingency.
And, why was Nancy Pelosi, who was responsible for Capitol security, never brought before the January 6th Committee to testify?
I think we all know the answer to that question.

I would say there is no doubt that some of our fellow Americans are losing it, but that’s not what we’re talking about here.
In June of 2020, Author Robin Wright asked, for “The New Yorker,” no less, “Is America Becoming a Banana Republic?”
I don’t think she knew at the time how prophetic that question would be.
“In the early nineteen-hundreds, the American writer O. Henry coined the term “banana republic” in a series of short stories…”
“The term, which originally referred to a politically unstable country run by a dictator and his cronies…, took on a life of its own.”
“Over the past century, “banana republic” has evolved to mean any country (with or without bananas) that has a ruthless, corrupt, or just plain ‘loopy’ leader who relies on the military [in our case the state police, the DOJ and the FBI, with the cooperation of some kangaroo courts thrown in there] and destroys state institutions…”
“During the heated Presidential campaign of 2016, the term made its way into mainstream American politics, often glibly. President Trump invoked it in October, 2016. ‘This election will determine whether we remain a free country in the truest sense of the word or we become a corrupt banana republic controlled by large donors and foreign governments,’ he told a cheering crowd in Florida.”
Truer words were never spoken.
“The House Speaker, Nancy Pelosi (at the time), the third most powerful politician in the land, described the experience of her daughter, a filmmaker and journalist, when men in fatigues used chemical agents and body armor to force her fellow peaceful protesters aside so Trump could walk to St. John’s Church, on Monday night, for a fleeting photo op where he waved the Bible. On Wednesday, Pelosi bluntly asked, on MSNBC’s ‘Morning Joe,’ ‘What is this, a banana republic?’”
Ha! Just wait Nancy! You will show us all what kind of banana republic we have, when you surround the capitol with fencing and armed reservists to supposedly protect yourselves from your own concocted “insurrection!”
“Later that day, James Mattis, the former Defense Secretary, issued a scathing rebuke of President Trump, his former boss.”
Boy, what a disappointment Mattis turned out to be. A real sell-out. And that’s coming from a marine myself.
“Mattis described being ‘angry and appalled’ at the use of the U.S. military against the American people.”
Again, hang onto your hat General Mattis, because you ain’t seen nothing yet!
‘“When I joined the military, some fifty years ago, I swore an oath to support and defend the Constitution. Never did I dream that troops taking that same oath would be ordered under any circumstance to violate the Constitutional rights of their fellow citizens, much less to provide a bizarre photo op for the elected commander-in-chief, with military leadership standing alongside,” he said, in a statement to The Atlantic.”
Like I said, you ain’t seen nothing yet, General! Talk about a “bizarre photo op!” The democrat contrived January 6th “insurrection” was one long running “bizarre photo op!
“Pictures of National Guard troops arrayed in tight rows on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, a site that symbolizes reconciliation and healing after our Civil War, clad in camouflage, flak jackets, and body armor, added to the sense that America is in the midst of a defining national crisis. Mattis raged at the President personally, accusing him of deliberately trying to divide the country.”
Ha! That’s a real hoot!
‘“We know that we are better than the abuse of executive authority that we witnessed in Lafayette Square,’ he said. He went one big step further, demanding that ‘those in office who would make a mockery of our Constitution’ must be held accountable.”
Yes. We’re all waiting for Pelosi and the democrats to be held responsible for the grand January 6th charade.
“Scholars and current and former policymakers say that Trump’s historical legacy increasingly appears to be the undoing of American democracy. ‘We are far too complacent about the durability of our system,’ Robert Kagan, a historian at the Brookings Institution and the author of ‘The Jungle Grows Back: America and Our Imperiled World,’ told me (Seems like kind of a racist title, if you ask me.). ‘So much of what makes our system work is the general fidelity to a democratic ethos on the part of everybody involved.’”
Bingo!
We are all currently witnessing the democrats making their best efforts to “undo American democracy.”
“Trump has proved that ‘our system has within it the capacity to be subverted,’ Kagan said. The brilliance of America’s Founders was designing a constitution with checks and balances to ensure that the instruments of power served the people and the Constitution, and limited the Presidency. ‘The founders hoped that Congress would be jealous of its prerogatives and the independent judiciary would be jealous of its role, and that each actor would have a certain devotion to the republican spirit, little “R,” and defend it against potential threats from a President more concerned for his own interests than the rights of the general population,’ Kagan said. ‘The amazing thing is that, throughout our history, that really has sort of been the case.’ No longer, he added. At the direction of President Trump, the core institutions that once insured the daily functions of the state and the peaceful transition of leadership have been seriously eroded.”
Wow.
Reading all of this two years later, it’s uncanny how all of these democrat tools and elitists are ending up describing themselves and their anti-American democrat friends!
“At the Department of Justice [inJustice], Attorney General William Barr overrode his own prosecutors in the sentencing of Roger Stone, a Trump ally. He urged that charges against Michael Flynn, Trump’s first short-lived national security adviser, be dropped, even though Flynn twice pleaded guilty to lying to the F.B.I. In the case of Paul Manafort, Trump’s former campaign manager, the President launched a Twitter tirade against Judge Amy Berman Jackson, including the false charge, ‘Is this the Judge that put Paul Manafort in SOLITARY CONFINEMENT, something that not even mobster Al Capone had to endure?’ Corrections officials, not judges, determine how and where prisoners are held. ‘If they can do that to protect the President’s friends, they can also be used against the President’s enemies,’ Kagan said.”
Oh, how we see that now!
You see, you can’t lie to the FBI, unless you’re a democrat. There are definitely two completely separate sets of rules, depending on where your politics lie.
‘“The clock is ticking on the future of America’s democracy,’ David Blight, a civil-war historian at Yale, told me. ‘This unrest, it’s more than unrest, it’s a revolt, is truly astonishing.’ In nine days, protesters have taken to the streets in three hundred and eighty cities over the death of George Floyd. ‘We have to find some way for electoral politics, ending just five months from now, to harness this, or where does it go? What’s left?’ He compared the deep political dysfunction in Washington in 2020 to the eighteen-fifties, when U.S. institutions were torn apart and the country collapsed in disunion. ‘There was no center left by 1860,’ he said. To answer Pelosi’s question, Blight said, ‘We’re not quite there yet. But we may be on the verge of becoming a banana republic. It was correct of her to ask the question.’”
Wow, was it ever. In fact, she was foreshadowing things to come, thanks to her and her democrat co-conspirators.
We have gone from finding the person who committed a crime, to finding a crime based on the person, or political target.
Now, that’s a real indicator of a “banana republic.”
It looks like we’ll have front row seats to the democrats’ legal circus, regarding former President Trump, for quite a while here, all while the “Biden crime family” is given a pass after pass from the Department of inJustice, and its resident treasonist in charge, Merrick Garland.
We’ve got banana republics, monkey business, and kangaroo courts! The democrats have created a real zoo out here!
Stay tuned.

In most cases, when considering their own minions, the democrats believe they’re extremely gullible and stupid, which I would have to agree with! Regarding everyone else, they simply don’t care.
The democrats have no problem spewing all sorts of propaganda and misinformation, knowing full well the fake news mainstream media will either promote their disingenuous narrative or give it zero coverage, depending on what is more advantageous.
According to Jamie Gangel, Zachary Cohen and Ryan Nobles of CNN, “The US Secret Service erased text messages from January 5 and 6, 2021, shortly after they were requested by oversight officials investigating the agency’s response to the US Capitol riot, according to a letter given to the House select committee investigating the insurrection and first obtained by CNN.”
Hmmm…, that’s odd!
Well, not really. This is behavior we have now come to expect from our swampy federal law enforcement organizations.
And I’m not sure how this story saw the light of day from CNN. I’m sure the three authors are either in hot water, or looking for new jobs by now, along with the editor that let this story hit the internet.
“The letter, which was originally sent to the House and Senate Homeland Security Committees by the Department of Homeland Security Inspector General, says the messages were erased from the system as part of a device-replacement program after the watchdog asked the agency for records related to its electronic communications.”
‘“First, the Department notified us that many US Secret Service text messages from January 5 and 6, 2021, were erased as part of a device-replacement program. The USSS erased those text messages after OIG requested records of electronic communications from the USSS, as part of our evaluation of events at the Capitol on January 6,’ the letter from DHS IG Joseph Cuffari stated.”
The key phrase to note here is, “The USSS erased those text messages AFTER the OIG requested records of electronic communications from the USSS, as part of our evaluation of events at the Capitol on January 6.”
‘“Second, DHS personnel have repeatedly told OIG inspectors that they were not permitted to provide records directly to OIG and that such records had to first undergo review by DHS attorneys,’ Cuffari added. ‘This review led to weeks-long delays in OIG obtaining records and created confusion over whether all records had been produced.’”
This is similar to how the swamp releases documents only after they have been redacted (Redaction in its sanitization sense (as distinguished from its other editing sense) is the blacking out or deletion of text in a document or the result of doing so. It is intended to allow the selective disclosure of information in a document while keeping other parts of the document secret. Typically the result is a document that is suitable for publication or for dissemination to others rather than the intended audience of the original document.). They typically claim the redactions are necessary to protect national security, when, in fact, the redactions are made to protect swampy backsides.
The Intercept, is an American non-profit news organization founded by Glenn Greenwald, Jeremy Scahill, and Laura Poitras, “and was first to report the existence of the letter.” They are the media “watchdogs” referred to in this article.
“The Homeland Security inspector general did not immediately respond to CNN’s request for comment.”
Again…, that’s odd.
And again…, not really.
“The US Secret Service pushed back on the allegations in a statement, saying that ‘the insinuation that the Secret Service maliciously deleted text messages following a request is false. In fact, the Secret Service has been fully cooperating with the OIG in every respect, whether it be interviews, documents, emails, or texts.’”
Ha! How dare we insinuate “that the Secret Service maliciously deleted text messages!” after all, the Secret Service says they were, “fully cooperating with the OIG in every respect.”
Ya…, why would Congressional investigators want to see these text messages in the midst of a massive Congressional investigation concerning the events surrounding January 6th?
It seems that the Secret Service is trying to employ an old Jedi mind trick! Do you recall Obi Wan Kenobi, from Star Wars, when he said, “These aren’t the droids you’re looking for?”
“More than a year after the riot, the Homeland Security inspector general review of the Secret Service and its actions on January 6 remains ongoing.”

Yes, my friends…, we have reached a point where we have to start calling it like it is, and stop pretending that the democrats have any interest in doing what is best for our country, when in fact they want to destroy our country as it was established under the U.S. Constitution.
Please bear with me as I recap recent events that would support my claim.
First of all, we have lost any semblance of accountability by anyone in government…, at least relating to democrats and the deep state.
We see countless “investigations” but, in the end, no one of any significance ends up being charged or put in jail.
When laws that apply to us do not apply to the ruling class, that is the definition of tyranny.
WHEN YOU CAN CONTROL ELECTIONS YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE ACCOUNTABLE TO OR FEAR THE VOTERS.
As a result, we see no justice. The FBI and the DOJ have become completely politicized. The law is selectively applied based on the party affiliation and ideology of those in question.
Secondly, we are witnessing laws being passed and proposed which are significantly changing the fabric of our country, even though the democrats aren’t anywhere near having a mandate from the voters.
In fact, the Senate is actually tied 50-50, while in Congress, the democrats have a slight advantage of only 220-212.
Again, WHEN YOU CAN CONTROL ELECTIONS YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE ACCOUNTABLE TO OR FEAR THE VOTERS.
Third, we see the Biden administration ignoring laws and imposing orders in order to impose their anti-American agenda. And, of course, the “Justice” system has no problem with this, nor does the mainstream propaganda media.
This is what you get when you cross incompetence, stupidity, ignorance, and evil.
We’ve seen our AWOL Vice President, “cackling” Kamala Harris, who had funded support to bail out Minneapolis rioters, only to see one of her bailed out rioters go on to commit murder. Gee, thanks Kamala. You, of course, carry no responsibility for this. And, of course, you have no comment, and our diligent free press doesn’t care to ask you about it either.
Then we come to the illustrious Army four-star General, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Mark Milley. If we can believe the accounts of one of Watergate’s Bob Woodward, the liberals’ supposed journalistic hero, Milley was the one who led a real insurrection against President Trump, by attempting to usurp his authority regarding the handling of the nuclear strike codes, while he conspired with his counterpart in China, telling him he would warn him if President Trump was planning on attacking China, for some reason. Sounds like treason to me. And this guy still has his job? He should be being court martialed as we speak! Although Biden has said he still has complete confidence in him.
We also have the “Justice” department continuing to refuse to name all of the disgusting liberals involved with Jeffrey Epstein on Pedophile Island. How fast would it take them to name conservatives, if they were involved? Just sayin’.
Lastly, we have Dr. Fauci. The guy who repeatedly lied to Congress (which is a crime) and who it has been shown was involved in promoting “gain of function” research, regarding the virus, while managing to use U.S taxpayer money, via a shell game of funding, in Chinese labs.
All of the individuals mentioned here should be in jail, as well as James Comey, Peter Strzok and his girlfriend, Lisa Page, Bill and Hillary Clinton, as well as Hunter Biden, just for starters.
It’s sad.
We may not see any justice for these people in this life, but they will eventually get what they deserve.
Epstein is sitting in Hell, after being suicided, waiting for all of the rest of these pieces of garbage to show up.
And be assured, they will be showing up there.
That, at least, should give us all some solace.

According to Edmund DeMarche of Fox News, “Former President Trump told Fox News that he expressed concern over the crowd size near the Capitol days before last month’s deadly riots and personally requested 10,000 National Guard troops be deployed in response.”
Didi you get that?
“FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP TOLD FOX NEWS THAT HE EXPRESSED CONCERN OVER THE CROWD SIZE NEAR THE CAPITOL DAYS BEFORE LAST MONTHS (deadly?) RIOTS AND PERSONALLY REQUESTED 10,000 NATIONAL GUARD TROOPS BE DEPLOYED IN RESPONSE!”
“[President] Trump told ‘The Next Revolution with Steve Hilton’ that his team alerted the Department of Defense days before the rally that crowds might be larger than anticipated and 10,000 national guardsmen should be ready to deploy. He said that — from what he understands — the warning was passed along to leaders at the Capitol, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi — and he heard that the request was rejected because these leaders did not like the optics of 10,000 troops at the Capitol.’”
‘“So, you know, that was a big mistake,’ he said.”
I think that’s being generous, Mr. President.
“Pelosi’s office and the Defense Department did not immediately respond to an email inquiry from Fox News.”
Hmmm, that’s odd.
Not!
“Trump told Steve Hilton, the show’s host, that he ‘hated to see what unfolded on Jan. 6 at the U.S. Capitol.’”
“Much of what led to the riot at the Capitol remains a mystery.”
And that’s just the way the democrats like it.
“Last week, former Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund told a bipartisan Senate panel that he didn’t know then that his officers had received a report from the FBI’s field office in Norfolk, Virginia, that forecast, in detail, the chances that extremists could bring ‘war’ to Washington the following day.”
“His officers received a report?”
Which officers, exactly?
From who…, exactly?
I mean what was their name?
And the Capitol Police Chief was not informed about this?
Who failed to inform him…, exactly?
I mean what was their name?
The FBI’s field office is saying that “extremists could bring ‘war’ to Washington the following day,” and the Capitol Police do nothing with that information?
Really?
“The head of the FBI’s office in Washington has said that once he received the Jan. 5 warning, the information was quickly shared with other law enforcement agencies through a joint terrorism task force.”
And, again, apparently there are no actual, real, accountable people working in these “law enforcement agencies” and this “joint terrorism task force.” They just, apparently, generically communicate with computer systems, or robots, or something.
But, based on his own recent senate testimony, this information wasn’t shared with FBI Director, Christopher Wray, however, or maybe he just “forgot.” It must be a condition that comes with the job.
Again, who failed to inform him…, exactly?
I mean what was their name?
Is no one held accountable for anything anymore?
It seems to me this whole thing could have been avoided if these people would have just done their job.
But, maybe, not doing their job was their job in this case?
“Sund and House Sergeant-at-Arms Paul Irving also could not agree on when National Guard assistance was requested.”
“Sund said he submitted the request at 1:09 p.m. on Jan. 6. But Irving insisted he did not receive the request for National Guard support until after 2 p.m. while in former Senate Sergeant-at-Arms Michael Stenger’s office. When pressed, Irving said he took a call from Sund before while on the Congress floor.”
What does “after 2 p.m. mean?”
2:01 p.m.?
2:15 p.m.?
3:00 p.m.?
5:00 p.m.?
8:00 p.m.?
George Petras, Janet Loehrke, Ramon Padilla, Javier Zarracina and Jennifer Borresen, of USA TODAY, report that, “Here is how events unfolded [on Jan. 6]. Times are estimates.
“6 a.m. – Crowds of Trump supporters, estimated in the thousands, prepare for a pro-Trump rally near the Ellipse. Many began gathering the night before.”
“11 a.m. – [President] Trump’s “Save America Rally” begins first with the President’s sons Eric and Donald Trump Jr., then his lawyer, Rudy Giuliani. Trump starts speaking at about 11:50 a.m. and speaks for more than an hour.
12:15 – Some of the huge crowd heads over towards the Capitol.
“1 p.m. – Lawmakers gather for a joint session in the House of Representatives chamber to count Electoral College votes.”
Again, remember, “Sund said he submitted the request at 1:09 p.m. on Jan. 6. But Irving insisted he did not receive the request for National Guard support until after 2 p.m. while in former Senate Sergeant-at-Arms Michael Stenger’s office. When pressed, Irving said he took a call from Sund while on the Congress floor.”
Don’t you think, even at the earlier time, this was a little late to be requesting troops?
Well, not if you wanted to appear as if you called in help, but not before the protesters did enough to satisfy the “insurrection” narrative.
“1:10 p.m. – Rioters begin grappling with police on the Capitol steps.”
“1:26 p.m. – Capitol police order evacuation of Library of Congress, Madison Building and Cannon House Office Building on Independence Avenue across from the Capitol.”
“1:40 p.m. – D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser orders citywide curfew starting at 6 p.m. Wednesday and ending at 6 a.m. Thursday. CNN reports District police are asking for more law enforcement.”
Gee, thanks for your support, Mayor.
“2:11 p.m. – Rioters breach police lines on the west side of the Capitol.”
“2:22 p.m. – Reports say Vice President Mike Pence has been escorted out of the Senate chamber.”
“2:33 p.m. – C-SPAN reports rioters have crossed Statuary Hall, the chamber that separates the House and Senate, heading for the House and Senate.”
“2:38 p.m. – [President] Trump tweets, ‘Please support our Capitol Police and Law Enforcement. They are truly on the side of our Country. Stay peaceful!’”
Sounds like something someone inciting a riot would say.
“2:44 p.m. – Shots are reported fired in the House chamber.”
“2:47 p.m. – Huffington Post reporter tweets image of rioters at the dais. ‘They’re in the chamber.’”
We did see some members of the Capitol Police opening barricades for some protesters (just the ones they wanted), waving them through, and other capitol police doing nothing as protesters walked down hallways, and meandered leisurely through the Congressional chambers.
“3:03 p.m. – Rioters are photographed on the Senate floor.”
In most cases, there were more people taking pictures of the rioters in the Capitol building than there were rioters! You could make the case that this was the most well documented “insurrection” in history.
That would jive with my take on the whole event.
“3:13 p.m. – Trump tweets: ‘I am asking for everyone at the U.S. Capitol to remain peaceful. No violence! Remember, WE are the Party of Law & Order – respect the Law and our great men and women in Blue. Thank you!’”
Again, sounds like something someone inciting a riot would say.
“3:34 p.m. – CBS reports a woman is in critical condition after being shot in the neck inside the Capitol. Police later report the woman died. She was identified as Ashli Babbitt, 35, an Air Force veteran.”
“3:51 p.m. – The District of Columbia National Guard, about 1,100 troops, is mobilized to support local law enforcement.”
This is only about three hours after they would have helpful.
“4:17 p.m. – In a tweeted video lasting just over a minute, Trump says, in part: ‘I know your pain. I know you’re hurt. We had an election that was stolen from us. It was a landslide election and everyone knows it, especially the other side. But you have to go home now. We have to have peace. We have to have law and order. … So, go home. We love you, you’re very special. … I know how you feel. But go home and go home in peace.’”
“8 p.m. – Congress reconvenes to resume counting Electoral College votes.”
Oh, yes…, above all else we must get those Electoral College votes counted, certifying Illegitimate Joe as the next president.
“Aftermath: Five believed dead, at least 68 arrested.”
Around 200 would eventually be arrested.
None with weapons charges, that were in the Capitol.
Soooo, our Capitol was breached and occupied by an unarmed group of people?
Quite a brutal “insurrection!”
“D.C. Police Chief Robert Contee said that, in addition to the woman shot by Capitol police, two men and one woman died in ‘separate medical emergencies.’ At least 14 of Contee’s officers were injured during the demonstrations, he said.”
“Police identified the woman shot and killed [by a U.S. Capitol Police officer] during the riot as Ashli Babbitt, 35, of San Diego, who was a military veteran.”
“A U.S. Capitol Police officer died Thursday after being injured when supporters of President Donald Trump raided the Capitol building on Wednesday, bringing the total number of fatalities to five.”
“Brian D. Sicknick ‘was injured while physically engaging with protesters’ on Wednesday, USCP said in a statement. He returned to his division office and collapsed, then was taken to a local hospital where he died Thursday evening.”
“The other three who perished that day were Benjamin Phillips, 50, from Ringtown, Pennsylvania; Kevin Greeson, 55, from Athens, Alabama; and Rosanne Boyland, 34, from Kennesaw, Georgia. Contee said Thursday all three died on Capitol grounds, but he didn’t specify how.”
“Howard Charles Liebengood, a US Capitol Police officer, died while off-duty on Saturday, according to a statement released Sunday by the Capitol Police and the White House. The department did not disclose the cause of the officer’s death, but The Washington Post and other news sources citing a family spokesperson said he died by suicide.”
Sooo, the ONLY person who died in the Capitol building was an unarmed protester, who was shot by the Capitol Police. This murder is still “under investigation,” by the way.
This officer obviously didn’t get the memo and thought this was a real “insurrection.”
DeMarche, of Fox News, continues by saying, “Sund and Irving disagreed on when the National Guard was called and on requests for the guard beforehand. Sund said he spoke to both Stenger and Irving about requesting the National Guard in the days before the riot, and that Irving said he was concerned about the ‘optics’ of having them present. Irving denied that, saying Sund’s account was ‘categorically false.’”
Ohhh, Irving was “concerned about the optics” of having the National Guard present.
Excuse me, but WHO THE HELL IS THIS IRVING TO BE MAKING THIS TYPE OF DECISION?!
Do you really thing that Sergeant-at-Arms Paul Irving has this kind of authority?
It’s very obvious that either Sund or Irving are lying…, and my money is on Irving.
Do you really think that Nancy Pelosi would allow any of these Capitol security decisions to be made without her blessing or direction?
Do you really think that Nancy Pelosi was unaware of any of the possible security threat intel or President Trump’s request for National Guard troops?
Do you really think that?
I don’t think you can possibly think that.
“Republicans have signaled that evidence could show that Democrat leaders were aware of the threat and did little to prevent the Jan. 6 attack.”
Okay…, now we’re getting somewhere!
THE REAL QUESTION IS, WHY WOULD DEMOCRAT LEADERS, WHO WERE AWARE OF THE THREAT, DO LITTLE TO PREVENT THE EVENTS OF JAN.6?
I believe the answer is very simple.
THE DEMOCRATS WANTED THE CAPITOL TO BE BREACHED!
And why would they want that you might ask?
Well, there are multiple reasons, in my opinion.
One…, this would enable another impeachment of President Trump via their fabricated incitement claims.
Two…, this would justify establishing a police state around the Capitol.
And, three…, this would lay the foundation for their demonization of Trump supporters, allowing them to classify Trump supporters as “domestic terrorists.”
“Pelosi said the commission will ‘investigate and report on the facts and causes relating to the January 6, 2021, domestic terrorist attack upon the United States Capitol Complex … and relating to the interference with the peaceful transfer of power.’”
I’m going to go out on a limb here and predict this commission will do little more than muddy the waters and cover-up what really occurred.
But really, which scenario is more plausible?
The most powerful country in the world having it’s capitol overrun and occupied by a bunch of unarmed protesters in a matter of minutes, or the scenario I’m suggesting?
“[President] Trump said he hated to see the riot but compared it to unrest that occurred in cities like Portland and Seattle.”
‘“I hate to see any of that, but it is a double standard,’ he said.”
It is definitely a double standard, Mr. President, and I would tend to agree with your comparison…, except the riots in Portland and Seattle, and elsewhere, lasted for months, not a couple of hours…, and the Capitol riot was not supported, and encouraged, by democrats, like the Portland and Seattle riots were.

Mr. Erickson Rules!
