Over the past 13 years, from Obama to Trump and continuing through the Biden years, it has become increasingly challenging to discern truth from propaganda touted by our media and the political ruling class. January 6th 2021 was a horrible day in our history. A tragic, heart-breaking, insane, historically-paradigm shifting day for all of us. I'd never belittle the events of the attack on the Capitol. It felt surreal. The man in the Viking horns is bizarrely from my hometown. It is a deeply shameful moment in our history. BUT. At the same time, January 6th is not 9/11 or Pearl Harbor. It is not a day that was an act of war. It was not a terrorist attack that resulted in the deaths of thousands of Americans. I was absolutely disgusted that V.P. Harris would make such an intellectually dishonest comparison to our nation’s history. 4 people died on January 6th. But only 1 of those was caused by an act of violence being shot and killed by a Capitol Police officer. All of those losses are tragic. But to put this in proper perspective, nearly 3,000 people died in the attacks on 9/11. The attack on Pearl Harbor killed 2,403 U.S. personnel and destroyed 19 US. Navy ships leading to the dropping of 2 nuclear bombs on Japan. 9/11 led to America's longest war in Afghanistan, a 20-year conflict for which we are still seeing an average of 20 veterans a day commit suicide. January 6th is NOT the bombing of Pearl Harbor. It is NOT 9/11. It is disrespectful to all our veterans, alive and dead, to say so. There is no comparison between the wars that brave Americans have fought and died in to the riotous attack on the Capitol. It’s not just wrong. It’s stupid.

Yes. It was not unprecedented either. It’s been done before, by leftists.
Bump!
While she did a good job,I stopped reading when her understanding of Pearl Harbor was that it led to dropping 2 atomic bombs on Japan.
Skipped over a little five year conflagration known as World War 2.
They never mentioned March 1, 1954, when Puerto Rican Terrorists invaded The Capitol and shot Five Congressmen.
The reason? Jimmy Carter commuted their sentences.
If the intentions were to “topple it,” we would all have come armed and there wouldn’t be any questions and lying about it now.
And the guy in face paint, wearing horns is ANTIFA from the word GO.
He was seen in numerous cities where ANTIFA was destroying cities. As were some of his cohorts who were also at the Capitol that day.
But then again, it’s like the media using school pics of Trayvon from when he was 11 and not the hood rat with gold teeth trying to be a gangster, all grown up.
The deep state is using democracy to put radicals in offices form the for a hostile take over of America.
BINGO!!!!
Even though I knew the history,I was shocked to be reminded that as part of a real effort to “destroy our democracy”, Obamas’s friend Bill Ayers bombed both the Capitol and the Pentagon.
And the American people elected that filthy leftist President.
I’m pretty sure Bill Clinton commuted their sentences?
Republicans are still running from Willie Horton ads.
Proves the adage Blind pig finding an acorn....
You think THAT is a home run?
I used to post that a lot, but it's wrong.
He's one of us.
And as proof, he just got sentenced to nine years in prison, whereas the FBI agents who organized the thing (antifa were told to stay away on January 5) haven't even been charged.
“a guy wearing face paint in Viking horns ...”
Liked that post. That guy was a clown, not a threat.
He’s the face of the failure of the Capital security forces.
Jan 6 was a two-part event: mostly peaceful, sometimes roudy, citizens, and a few bad guys who, time might tell, were hired by the deep state.
This is just an example of RINOs trying to calibrate a message to save their skins.
No it's the RINO wing desperately trying to find a message to separate you from the Orange man while stopping the hating on RINOs.
The Dems are going to hammer this - like “Russia Collusion” - all the way to the 2022 mid-terms. And it will backfire on them, as so many of their scheme do:
The Russia hoax has never “backfired” on the Dems because it is a bipartisan operation. Hard to see 1/6 doing much for MAGA either. It might elect a few assistant Democrats in the GOP but that isn’t “winning” in my book.
The world’s first tourist insurrection!

Oh hell, I was crying hysterically by mid-afternoon, because I knew the Rats were going to beat us with with the Insurrection bat every minute of every day for the rest of our lives.
