I hope the pendulum gets to swing the other direction after this.
I watched with my own eyes as guards politely opened the doors and invited people into the Capitol. This was not an insurrection. Nothing I have seen of the photos supports this bogus claim. The claim that is was is politically motivated nonsense. Were people furious at the VP for cowardly dropping the ball when fate gave him the job to assure accountability in the conduct of the Nov. election? Yes. Did they riot? Nope.
Been that way since January.
Who do you gotta schtup to get an editor around here?!
Joe Biden is inciting political violence against domestic enemies

Last week, Biden delivered a bizarre address in support of the so-called “For the People Act,” which presumes to take away the discretion of state legislatures over elections in their states. President Joe Biden described as “vicious” the recent voting laws passed in Georgia and Texas, saying they were meant to “intimidate poll workers.” The president condemned the proposed laws of these two states as “21st-century Jim Crow.”
Biden hearkened back to the violent days of the student riots of the ’60s when he reused their battle cry: “The whole world is watching.” Then, Biden shouted a call to action: “We must act!”
Frankly, this is a call to violence against elected officials if Democrats’ political goals are not accepted. In the context of the riots in cities this past year, this speech seeks to legitimize the arson, assaults on police, and destruction of property we have just experienced.
...All this is bad enough, but then Biden said his duty was to stop “enemies foreign and domestic,” with his emphasis on the word “domestic.” This statement went beyond the insults and became a threat. Biden was telling his audience, including a television audience, that his political opponents are “domestic enemies....
...I never thought I would hear my president characterize me, or any other political opponent, as a “domestic enemy.”...
We complain about the bias and dishonesty of the mainstream press, but how many of us are still pouring money into their coffers with our TV subscriptions?
We know the dem run cities are going to jail us over false charges while giving the leftists a pass, yet we've walked into one trap after another, all for the sake of showing that we're doing something about it. By Jan 6 we should have known what was going to happen, yet we walked into another trap that accomplished nothing other than give the left an effective weapon against us. We should have known better.
The major businesses have no fear of losing our consumer dollars, so either there aren't too many of us left or we're doing a poor job of talking with our wallets. We've all heard that we should live and let live. We did, but the left didn't, and now businesses are telling us we have to allow our 6 year old boys to transition to girls.
Last but not least, the free trade deals with the communists were our doing. Bush and the GOP signed off on the deals, Rush defended them, many at FR defended them, and one Freeper even called me stupid for paying more for made in USA. They used our money to buy our election, while we borrowed their money to buy the products they make and to pay for unemployment benefits for our kids and homeless Vets whose jobs were shipped out of the country. But at least we save $.10 on communist made paint brushes.
So have we lost yet? Since the points above are all within our control, I would say that's up to us.
