What Actually Happened on January 6, 2021?
American Thinker ^ | January 9, AD 2022 | John F Di Leo

For a year now, there has been a constant drumbeat in the press about January 6, 2020. It went into overdrive this past week.

Congress created an investigative commission about it. Hundreds were imprisoned for it. It dominated headlines even when bigger stories, like the forced bankruptcies of thousands of businesses and the surrender and abandonment of our mission in Afghanistan, were dropped from the headlines like last week's racing results.

So what was it, really, that happened on January 6, 2021, meriting such constant attention?

Well, January 6 is the day that Christians celebrate the Feast of the Epiphany all over the world. Most Western Christians focus on the gifts of the Magi, the visitors from the East, while many Eastern Christians' focus on that day is on the Lord's meeting with His cousin, John the Baptizer, in the River Jordan, at the beginning of His earthly mission some thirty years later. Either way, January 6 is a big deal for every majority-Christian nation.

Such a date is usually a wonderful opportunity for public interest features and tourism articles, showing how different cultures celebrate the holiday, showcasing the varied architecture, artwork, and festivities in different churches and town squares all over the world.

But the press didn't focus on that. Maybe nobody celebrated the Epiphany that year, from fear of COVID?

On January 6, within the halls of Congress, a formality was conducted: the final, formal, state-by-state count of the Electoral College vote for president in the 2020 election. This was a severely troubled election...

These articles are so stupid.

Why do we spend time debating facts with people who are not interested in facts?

The left just makes things up and we get “thoughtful” responses from our side.

The proper response is Jan 6 was a coordinated effort by the FBI and DNC to create a Reichstag Fire in our own nation’s capital.

Ashli Babbit was murdered by a DC cop who was not charged.

Yep, and anticipating votes to question electors, thwart that process and cajole those that would to not do so.

Blue states (most notably NY) had to be bailed out by the federal government due to their irresponsible response to covid in 2020.

Dems knew Donald Trump would not bail out these irresponsible blue states.

Therefore, Dems simply had to ensure a Democrat would be in the White House to bail out blue states, at any cost.

That’s not what happened on Jan 6, but that’s why I believe it happened. Along with the actions leading up to, during, and following Nov 3, 2020.

What really pisses me off is that our side doesn't bring up all the other Capitol/Capital bombings, shootings, and assassinations done by the Left.

FALN, Weather Underground, Bill Ayers, Squeaky Fromme almost killing President Ford, and all the other assassins who were Leftists.

Scalise was almost shot dead and the media moved on from it after 48 hours. Rand Paul viciously assaulted. There was no "national debate" on guns or Congressperson safety or anything.

It has been a year since Trump was censored by Twitter. To send the message we have not forgotten about ‘Orange Man Bad’ a meme is growing to include an orange in your posts. 🍊

Don’t expect an honest answer from the Jan 6 Star Chamber.

“The proper response is Jan 6 was a coordinated effort by the FBI and DNC to create a Reichstag Fire in our own nation’s capital.”

That, in a nutshell!

That imaginary fire will only get bigger as election day approaches.

Simple: There was a Presidential Coup, voters got mad. They never realized their vote hasn’t counted in a long.

There’s a reason why the GOP is called the “stupid party”

some people waiving flags and wearing silly hats pushed past security or were simply let in at which time they took selifes in the hallways and in some offices. They took some silly stuff like gavels. A few broke some windows, at which point one of the selfie takers was shot dead, and then everyone left.

oh and a couple of protestors “outside” had heart attacks, and in the days “after” the event, a couple of the capital guards killed themselves for who knows whatever reason.

And that is what happened.

January 6 was the worst day in US history since January 5.
