Hang on. It is going to be Mr. Toad’s wild scary ride for all of 2021.
The proper conservative response to last Wednesday’s violent entry into the Capitol and vandalism, as well as assaults on law-enforcement, is to identify the guilty parties and ensure they are arrested.
Such deterrence will prevent any future devolution from legal popular protests into thuggery. No constitutional republic can tolerate its iconic heart stormed, breached, and defiled.
Is Some Violence Worse than Others?
Of course, there is no such thing as “good” or “acceptable” violence of either Trump supporters or of the Antifa and BLM sort.
Yet the latter were largely exempt from any consequences for most of the summer—despite Joe Biden’s demagogic implication that the now multibillion-dollar funded BLM was treated harshly in comparison to the rogue Trump rioters.
Do we remember the authorities’ exemptions given to “warlord” Raz Simone and his armed thugs who, with absolute impunity, took over a Seattle “autonomous zone” known as CHOP or CHAZ, where four shootings and two deaths followed? Who exactly destroyed or vandalized thousands of state and federal public monuments—some in Washington, D.C.—and burned and looted hundreds of buildings with impunity?
Those who wrongly demanded to defund the police, now rightly deplore the lack of a Capitol police presence. Their only consistency is their own perceived political self-interest.
Biden himself rarely if ever, without exceptions, outright condemned the atrocious violence of Antifa and indeed contextualized it as an “idea”—a disincarnate entity that apparently could magically also burn and loot.
Again, his inaugural call for unity was quickly superseded by his surreal accusations that the police were racist in not quelling the violence. Yet the problem at the Capitol was not that security was racially selective, but that there was not much security at all.

How long until mention of election fraud or riot hoax is illegal?
365 days is all it gets.
Where’s that dang asteroid?!
Can we hurry it up!?
I had the misfortune to hear 60 Minutes intro yesterday
All the standard DNC lies
Yet we know millions of fools believe their lies
I’m in. Bring it on.
speaking of fraud- what in the world is going on in this video of kamamalaman supposedly getting the vaccination?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=tC-pmg5W0Zc
IF this is true, then it looks like she didn’t get anything- IF it is true- Trump should play this video during a rally- and say “Everything about these people is phony, false, fraudulent”
ok, they are saying it was just the ‘plastic safety cap’ that flips up over the needle- I’ve had hundreds of shots, blood taken etc- and never had a needle liek that- but meh- it coudl be i guess
“Where’s that dang asteroid?! Can we hurry it up!?”
I know, right? Some really good high end booze, good fat cigars and rare steak every night with good friends (and fun women) until...Look! Look! BLAMMO!!!
But, no, we’ll get it slow, dry and humorless...
“...Of course, there is no such thing as “good” or “acceptable” violence of either Trump supporters or of the Antifa and BLM sort...”
This is not true. There comes a point where we have to be willing to assemble on Lexington Green. And that means we are willing to engage in violence rather than submit to tyranny and dictatorship.
I never bought in. I am still living in 2017.
If the people of 1775 and 1776 had thought the way VDH does, we’d still be subjects.
You get it. Of course in 1775, there were a bunch of printing presses in the colonies and they all could not be shut down by a few zip wads. We may be pack to primitive presses before long for getting out info that is not acceptable to BIG BROTHER.
good choice
Actually, it seems hard to determine what he’s recommending. Nothing, I guess.
But in terms of the election, he’s missing the true problem: Trump and many people objected to the elections, had objections that were credible even to state legislators, and just wanted a chance to make these things public and examine them. In other words, their day in court, which was consistently denied to them. That’s what the anger is about.
The Dems have objected to every election that they have lost in the last 10 years, they’ve refused to accept the results...and they have gotten their day in court when they wanted to go there, which they usually did not because they knew they were lying. But the GOP objects and that’s a whole different matter.
Rather than telling Trump to drop it, Hanson should be urging the Dems to permit the claims to get a fair hearing; even if the GOP lost, at least people would feel that they’d gotten some respect. Although I’m afraid it’s too late for that now, and we’re on an irreversible route to major conflict.
What might be crazier, would be to read in a modern day ‘graphic novel’ ( aka over priced super artwork comic book) some mean super villian had their eyes on some earthen dam somewhere in the world, for the fun of it.
2121 may soon have us nostalgic for 2020
I’ve said basically the same thing to ppl around me for two weeks or so
“So Trump erred in pressing his unrealistic claims of winning the election and thereby giving his supporters expectations that the irregularities in the voting would translate into a Trump second term. Again, fairly or not, legally or illegally, rightly or wrongly, that simply was never going to happen. To insist that it would was to mislead his most loyal base. And the disconnect from the finality of November 3, may have contributed to a Republican Senate lost in Georgia, and, for now, has clouded his legacy of real achievement.”
Somebody had to say it.
