Four people are dead, one shot, 3 by medical emergencies after being shoved around by police , without cause.
But you’ll hear nothing in the news, Meanwhile thousands looted and committed arson without ANY gun barrels leveled at them in Minneapolis and Seattle.

They were unarmed at the Capitol and simply going into the People’s House.No acts of looting or arson were committed like in Mineapolis and Portland. The Pearl Clutchers, particularly in the Republican Party, were almost dying of apoplexy because the supposedly sacred precincts of Congress used to attempt a usurpation of the President for 4 long years were invaded while the precincts of Minneapolis and Seattle are defined as less sacred? A line was crossed? Buahahahahahahahaha!

Democrat lefty srson, and lootimg violence OK, Republican protest BAD!Shoot the Republicans?

What a laugh? The Democrats CAUSED THIS. But the Republicans are clutching their pearls instead of fighting back.

The pearl clutchers are so upset over the fact that Republicans became slightly “violent” after 4 years of the Swamp trying to usurp a duly elected president of the United States.

This isn’t over.

It is wise to remember that a majority of history has been marked by struggle, turmoil, and suffering. Only in the last 100-150 years has humanity leveled off a bit, and a relative peace and calm has been the norm. Sadly, I believe we are transitioning to dark times again, marked by authoritarian globalism and a severe curtailment of liberty.

Life is not a movie. The good guy doesn’t always win.

I used to think the lockdowns would disappear the day Biden took power. Much like the nightly war death counts and Cindy Sheehan disappeared the day after obama took power.

Now I am not so sure.

Power mad democrat marxist mayors and govenors love their newly found dictatorial powers and will never give them up.

The first stage is a fracturing of a country followed by ensuing chaos, which will give rise to strongman rule. There could be strongmen not just a strongman.

I think poo pooing the virus has a lot to do with our current political situation.
Think back to 2008, the election following GWB’s Iraq debacle and Katrina disaster. We had it all and then we lost it and who can we blame if not ourselves. And did we learn from 2008? I don’t think so. Poo pooing Covid was an epic blunder. We played that all wrong. Imho.

Hugh Hewitt was on the radio this morning having the usual neverTrumpturd hissy fit about some rowdy kids in the capitol building.

He was call them insurrectionists.

I'm done with that snarky douche (and his advertisers), but with 'friends' like that who needs enemies?

I don’t think we can honestly debate what’s next. There are myriad historical instances of a nation fracturing, but a majority of the population just went about their business unaware.

My great grandparents fled the Ukraine in the early 1920s after generations on the same farm, because they saw what was coming from mother Russia. I think most Americans are complacent and don’t understand what’s about to come cascading down from the Federal mountain. Most people don’t think past their noses, and I believe a lot of what’s about to happen is going to catch most folks offguard and completely unaware. This is how the Stalinists wrenched complete control of Russia. It’ll be a blitzkrieg.

Ashli Babbit was shot by an elderly man in a suit, it was video taped. Yet the man remains unidentified? Murder was committed against an unarmed woman squeezing through a barrier in a hallway.

This is not over.

America has diverse population and many of them are armed. Many are sheep but many others are not.

So was this shooter a member of congress or a aid. Because there was definitely not jeopardy. No opportunity no intent or no capability for her to harm anyone. This was murder.

I agree. If he is not charged, he is a walking dead man.

man made catastrophes

They ushered in regime change and flex political power over the people prohibiting right of assembly to worship, protest, or socialize/mingle/celebrate/mourn.

How correct you are is nearly immeasurable.

You can’t allow riots in one city and do nothing and condemn riots in another city. If I recall, The Wisconsin state capital was under siege during the Scott Walker recall riots, nary a word of condemnation. Can’t have two sets of rules, that is a big problem and the media is a BIG part of it.

I don’t run. Never will. I’ll protect my homestead, but that doesn’t mean I won’t tell my family to flee.

I regret never buying a blue water capable sailboat.
