Joe Biden: What Americans should remember about Jan. 6 | Four years ago, our democracy was put to the test — and prevailed.

Joe Biden is president of the United States.

On this Jan. 6, order will be called. Clerks, staff and members of Congress will gather to certify the results of a free and fair presidential election and ensure a peaceful transfer of power. Capitol Police will stand guard over the citadel of our democracy.

The vice president of the United States, faithful to her duty under our Constitution, will preside over the certification of her opponent’s victory in the November election.

It is a ceremony that for more than two centuries has made America a beacon to the world, a ceremony that ratifies the will of the voters.

For much of our history, this proceeding was treated as pro forma, a routine act. But after what we all witnessed on Jan. 6, 2021, we know we can never again take it for granted.

Violent insurrectionists attacked the Capitol, threatened the lives of elected officials and assaulted brave law enforcement officers.

We should be proud that our democracy withstood this assault. And we should be glad we will not see such a shameful attack again this year.

But we should not forget. We must remember the wisdom of the adage that any nation that forgets its past is doomed to repeat it. We cannot accept a repeat of what occurred four years ago.

An unrelenting effort has been underway to rewrite — even erase — the history of that day. To tell us we didn’t see what we all saw with our own eyes. To dismiss concerns about it as some kind of partisan obsession. To explain it away as a protest that just got out of hand.

Our government was compromised through a coup because of fraudulent electors, plain and simple. And moron Republicans went along with it, sanctioning unlimited voter fraud.

Joe Biden,
Democracy lost on Jan. 6th. The government staged a riot to prevent review of a fraudulent election with millions of ghost voters and the states ignoring their own election laws. This was done in the name of a virus (Biological enhanced weapon) released by a laboratory funded by the US Intelligence apparatus and manned by the Chinese Communist party to make certain that the person who they had bought to be US POTUS was in charge. That would be you Joe Biden, purchased via your son, while you played “big guy” and made sure that the photos at the National Achieves of your “I am not involved in my son’s business” lie was suppressed.

Some my actually call all that Treason.

The Republic was restored, at least in the states with enforced election laws including: valid citizen voting, photo ID, and signature verification, in enough states for Donald Trump to win the election of 2024. You and your administration can take no credit for that.

Everyone can have an opinion on Jan 6th, but with evidence of Witness tampering and document destruction by the Congressional Committee members who investigated it, as well as the FBI lying in testimony about agents and Pipe Bomber evidence I can’t help but remember a quote from Obama:

“The only people hiding things are people with something to hide”.

Biden reminds me of when Hitler blamed the people of Germany for his failures.

J6, for those who are unaware, will soon be shown as the federal government’s false flag operation used to secure the election certification for the election they had just stolen in 2020.

It’s no more complicated than that.

A reckoning is coming.

Yes, the American Republic has prevailed, but the victory will not be complete until all of the January 6 Protestors, illegally jailed for exercising their God given and Constitution recognized right to peaceably assemble, have been released from the Gulag and compensated for the injustice perpetrated against them by the corrupt establishment.

Presidential Medals of Freedom, all around? I’d consider it a great success if Liz Cheney returned hers in protest.

“[W]e should commit to remembering Jan. 6, 2021, every year.”

as the Western Journal correctly noted, it wasn’t Pearl Harbor, Joe
