Ping. Also, FYI,...

The feds say he’s an extremist leader who directed rioters. He also had top-secret clearance and worked for the FBI, attorney says.

“Navy veteran Thomas Edward Caldwell led a band of the Oath Keepers extremist group to Washington on Jan. 6 to storm the U.S. Capitol, federal prosecutors allege,...But Caldwell’s attorney, Thomas K. Plofchan, says he isn’t just a retired lieutenant commander. Caldwell also had a top-secret security clearance and served as a section chief for the FBI...”

Right == “historical correlation of military service and right wing TERRORISM. Think of all the TERRORISTS who returned home from World War II.

This “paper” is out of it’s mind printing this shyte. No relation to any kind of thought. Utter gibberish.

I stand corrected. Most left wing terrorists are in the J. Edgar Hoover building tonight.

I am curious as to how many extremists we have in custody, but do we the public really have The Need To Know?
I tend to doubt it.

I have wondered how many are locked up at Gitmo?
During the Obola years, he was trying to close it down completely. We even traded 3 ex terrorists for one American traitor.

Funny how they never acted that way with Jihadists in the military.

Their objective is obviously to make our military forces resemble something like Antifa and BLM. I pray that the new combat heroes will have comfort and pride through every moment of their training and pursuit of satisfaction.

They’re going to screw around and nobody is going to sign up to serve.

This is about as stupid as it gets.

How DARE you question their loyalty.

That was the retort when the State Department was listed as having Communists in offices.

Under Obama the FBI chief an CIA boss were both admitted “former” Communists.

The brass made sure to keep Islamonazi Nidal Hassan in service even when they knew he was a jihadist in communication with Al Qaeda.

Even AFTER his terrorist attack Isalmist Barack Obama claimed that was merely workplace violence.
