On January 6, 2021, a massive outpouring of supporters of President Donald Trump descended on Washington D.C. for a rally. The president invited his supporters to “peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard” at the U.S. Capitol. It did not matter that he did not call for violence, Congress impeached him anyway.
The crowd’s mission was not to burn down the U.S. Capitol or harm members of Congress. For the overwhelming majority of those in attendance, their goal was not to commit violence, but to persuade either Vice President Mike Pence or a majority of the members of Congress to oppose the certification of the 2020 U.S. presidential election results.
Instead of the day being focused on claims of voter fraud and election irregularities, the entire media narrative turned into the “attack on the U.S. Capitol.” The images of some in the crowd battling U.S. Capitol Police officers were aired constantly, as were the photos of some flag waving Trump supporters in the building posing for pictures on the U.S. Senate floor or in House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s office.
No violent actions can be condoned and all who engaged in criminal behavior should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. In the aftermath of this security breach, the FBI arrested hundreds of people for various offenses and is continuing to investigate.
While these individuals are being arrested and prosecuted, scores of violent criminals involved in approximately 275 Antifa and Black Lives Matter riots last summer have escaped justice. It seems there is more of an FBI focus on bringing Trump supporters to justice than those criminals who burned, looted, and robbed during a summer of discontent in the wake of George Floyd’s death.
It has been over four months since the January 6thprotests and the liberal media cannot stop discussing it on their cable news programs. It serves as a perfect distraction from covering the disaster known as the Biden administration. Immediately after his inauguration, President Joe Biden began issuing executive orders and supporting policies that can be accurately described as socialism on steroids.
The results are both calamitous and predictable. Biden has created a souring economy, rising gasoline prices, the resurgence of inflation, a border catastrophe, and a new Middle East conflict. His decision to stop construction of the border wall looks worse every day the flood of illegal immigrants continues.
President Biden also announced the termination of the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline. This announcement is particularly hypocritical after he decided to cancel sanctions on a Russian company involved in the construction of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline into Germany. Obviously, for Biden, pipelines are fine in Europe, but not in the United States.
The left-wing media do not care about these inconsistencies or the horrible situation Biden is creating. Thus, they are conveniently ignoring the negative reports about the President and focusing on January 6thand the “insurrection” because of their overwhelming hatred for Trump and his supporters.
According to the left, the actions of January 6thwere akin to 9/11 and Pearl Harbor combined. In those attacks on our country, thousands of people died; however, after this protest, five people died, including four of natural causes. The only person killed was an unarmed Trump supporter, Ashli Babbitt, who was shot dead by a U.S. Capitol Police officer.
Last week, the U.S. House of Representatives approved the formation of a commission to investigate the activities on January 6th. Sadly, 35 House Republicans joined Democrats in supporting this sham investigation.
U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) called the commission “a partisan political weapon.” He noted that while the members will be evenly split among Democrats and Republicans, “the chairman of this commission has the power to hire all the senior staff and has special powers to overrule decisions made by the other side and the vice-chair. This is a partisan joke.” Rubio believes the true purpose of the commission is for Democrats to keep “the House majority in 2022” and to keep “this (January 6th) in the headlines.”
Rubio is right, this commission is not about justice, it is about politics. The legislation will advance to the U.S. Senate where it will be considered. If this is eventually approved by the U.S. Senate and becomes law, a formal commission will be created.
At that point, Republicans should try to make the best of the situation by demanding the following questions be answered:
1)Why did a U.S. Capitol Police officer shoot and kill an unarmed Trump supporter, 12-year United States Air Force veteran, Ashli Babbitt?
2)Why did the Department of Justice decide to forgo charges against this police officer and why has his identity been kept secret? It was announced this week that Ashli Babbitt’s family has filed a $10 million lawsuit against the U.S. Capitol Police. According to their attorney, Terrell Roberts III, there has been “zero accountability.” He said the family has been given “no explanation to justify the shooting and they do not even identify the officer. That is what they do in autocratic countries, not in the United States.”
3)Why was there a false story about the death of U.S. Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick? It was initially reported that he was killed by a Trump supporter, who threw a fire extinguisher at him.
4)Why did it take so long for the medical examiner’s report to be made public?
5)Why was security so lacking at the U.S. Capitol when there were multiple reports about a large crowd expected?
6)How many police officers actually allowed protesters to enter the building?
7)How many Antifa and other leftist agitators were mixed in with the Trump supporters causing mayhem and encouraging the crowd to commit violence?
A genuine commission would be designed to uncover the truth, but in this case, the only goal is to punish President Trump and his supporters so thoroughly that the “America First” agenda is permanently destroyed.
They’re not obsessed with Jan. 6, they’re obsessed with Trump. They’re simply using lies about Jan. 6 as an attempt to attack President Trump.
You got it. January 6 is just a date
Why?
They want justification to eradicate us with no objection from the general populace.
ALL unrest in America for the last FIVE YEARS has been singularly focused on President Trump and getting him out of the Presidential office.
The reason to remove him is simple:
President Trump had his finger on the button(s) that would destroy the Satanic grip ol' Slue Foot has on an otherwise Christian nation.
Our troubles are first, foremost and entirely spiritual.
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
It’s not an obsession, it’s a tool to use to hammer the opposition party in the upcoming mid-term elections, via the media mouthpieces for the deep-state traitors to this nation. Also, this is supported by quisling Republicans, just as much as the Democrat Party.
“They’re not obsessed with Jan. 6, they’re obsessed with Trump. They’re simply using lies about Jan. 6 as an attempt to attack President Trump.”
Completely agree. They think it is an endless source to reap political hay.
Because they had planned for much more violence and bloodshed.
Pelosi worked with the FBI, the Capitol police, and her own private goons and other derps to make the 'insurrection' happen.
When they didn't get the blood, fire, and doom they had planned for, they pushed on with their fire and brimstone, end of the world narrative, with their media for the assist.
Its all a movie, as someone once said. Nothing is real. Their is only 'the narrative' and the picture [they] paint and want us to see.
Frankly I get furious when I even consider Jan 6th. And Ashli Babbit makes me want to join any anti-Left group needing a paraplegic granny.
Furthermore, from all that I read, it is clear this “take-over” has been in the works a very long time. Warren Harding was the first sucker and I actually remember FDR deciding any Federal employee Americans “left” in the Philippine Islands just prior to Pearl Harbor were to be sent to the States and any American left after that were to be expect to cope as best they could. Consdidering the death marches, the concentration camps (Oh, yes, I do remember much of that!)
FDR’s primary need was to placate the Japanese...and so he did and so many, many Americans, adults and children, died in PI concentration camps set up by the Japanese. Most who survived and live now are still coping with those memories and PTSD.
Now I read how our educational system and content being taught has been subverted, and all the other subversive events that have occured. I shudder to think “we” think this is O.K.
It is absolutely time to withdraw our support from taxes to manpower from the so-called “United” States which does not exist anymore. There are many people who could do the jobs from President down to Town Criers”. They would do it well and they couldn’t take victims to sacrifice willy-nilly.
For democrats, it just replaces the Russia Collusion thing for them to nag at Republicans about!
It will be difficult to dredge up any more info on that day that would make the drama needle wiggle. Nobody had guns. No police were killed. No Congress critters were touched. Those who actually entered have been identified.
Doubtful the dems can make up new stories without looking more stupid.
January 6 is the left’s new Independence Day, the day they celebrate their successful insurrection against “the man”!
What I don’t get is, with all of their successes, taking the House and the Senate and the US Supreme Court and the Presidency, why are they still so angry?
They decided to forego charges because they determined, God knows how, that the shooting was justified. It happens all the time in all too many cases - a confrontation with police leads to the death of an unarmed suspect. And in all but a fraction of those cases the death is ruled to be justified and the officer walks free. The only difference in this instance is that the name of the officer has not been released.
“It will be difficult to dredge up any more info on that day that would make the drama needle wiggle. Nobody had guns. No police were killed. No Congress critters were touched. Those who actually entered have been identified.

The hiding of so much info about this event, the shooter’s identity, the BLM part in trying to set off violence, the video showing police helping folks into the building, makes it look like something that could blow up badly for them if they actually had to investigate it. But the left is getting known for that.
If it isn't approved in the Senate then I predict that the Democrats will still hold hearings in the appropriate House committee. They're not going to let this drop. They think it'll be a campaign issue.
How about this, leftards. There were 900,000 Trump supporters at the mall. If they had wanted to stage an uprising, 900,000 angry Trump supporters could have torn down the capital and rebuilt it upside down.
A few hundred people entered the Capitol, among whom were BLM and Antifa provocateurs, as well as FBI plants probably doing the same. The majority of those in the Capitol wouldn’t even knock down the rope partition in the corridor. The only one who might conceivably be said to be both a Trump supporter and also armed was the MAGA Shaman, and he didn’t stick anyone with his spear, just waived it around a bit.
So get over it. This is a mole hill, and you can’t make a mountain out of it.
They are obsessed with us! They are actually jealous. They want an uprising with the volume and vigor of the Trump rallies, but for the leftist causes. It started with the Tea party(s). Their response was Occupy Wall Street-a dismal failure. They want a revolution but all they see is January 6, an assembly of Trumpsters.
Looking at the crowd you could spot them, dressed just like the Antifa hoods in the streets of Portland, et al. May have had the Trump hat or something on but just a ruse.
An 'insurection' is laughable. Heck the peasants in France, England at least had pitchforks.
This is 100% pure 'Hate Trump', and they are out to destroy him politically, socially and financially.
Jan 6 was a false flag attack by the left for the purpose of bringing in the National Guard so the left could install a pretender President.
But he’s still standing. They’re still nuts.
