Perhaps it’s because I grew up surrounded by extraordinarily tough people, but I found myself singularly unmoved by the spectacle in the House on Tuesday, which reminded me of a bad mash-up of Dr. Phil, Oprah, and BLM-produced soap opera, rather than a legitimate inquiry into an event that Democrats have seized upon to consolidate their power by destroying their opposition.
As sobbing congressmen and Capitol Police officers took turns talking about their psychic injuries, I was alternately embarrassed for them if they were really that weak, and frightened of them if they were that sociopathic as a pathway to power.

On January 6, there was a ruckus outside the Capitol, which may have been fomented by FBI agents and informants. Mysteriously, considering the size of the crowd projected to be in D.C., both Nancy Pelosi and D.C. mayor Muriel Bowser refused Trump’s offer to provide the National Guard. The Capitol Police were not out in force and were unprepared.
Some of the people at the Capitol were rowdy and violent. Most were not. They entered the Capitol – something leftists routinely did during the Bush and Trump years, although it’s not clear whether the leftists were invited in as the Trump supporters were. Unlike leftists, these people mostly wandered around like polite tourists. None were armed. A Capitol police officer murdered one of those unarmed citizens but, unlike police officers who have been involved in the deaths of violent, drugged-up men engaging in crimes, his name is still secret and his record cleared.
While Antifa and BLM got a pass for their violent behavior during 2020 (and in all other years for that matter), the FBI has been hunting January 6 people down like dogs. They are political prisoners kept in inhumane circumstances.

WOW! Were the “witnesses” coached much?
They had…..they had…..flags!
The horror…..the horror…..
I’ve seen more professional and courageous mall cops.
“The anti-apartheid movement organized a total boycott of white businesses, which meant that black community members were still going to work and getting a paycheck from white businesses but were not buying their products. Several months of that and the white business elites were in total crisis. They demanded that the apartheid government do something to alleviate the economic strain.”
As dog and pony shows go, this one is not really that good.
People lacking morality and strong life principles can be incentivized to do and say ANYTHING.

Although he was to the left and was outright wrong on many things but considered himself conservative on others, and was a WWII combat veteran, Norman Mailer wrote two of my all time favorite books. Main topic was being against the Vietnam War involvement of the US (boo).
Even so, in The Armies of the Night and in Miami and the Siege of Chicago (a blistering attack on the 1968 Democrat Party) he discussed the FBI informants, agent provocateurs and agitators who infiltrated demonstrations and groups.
One man who "looked like he didn't belong" tried to get him into a fistfight so Mailer would be arrested and out of the loop. He refused and was convinced this was an FBI agent.
Thanks for posting that.
I always enjoy Andrea’s writing. The background she reveals in this piece is pretty stunning - that her mother was in a Japanese concentration camp in WWII, for instance.
Face it in Cuba the state’s police force is protecting the communist dictatorship. Unfortunately, the Capitol Police are now protecting a marxist commie regime in DC, that just assumed power via a fraudulent election and a coup to remove DJT>. There is no difference, freedom isn’t free it must be fought for and preserved. God bless the 1/6 freedom fighters.

And as far as the demonstrators go, I've seen more terrifying and dangerous mall ninjas with airsoft guns...
Washington DC capitol building is one of the most photographed buildings in our country. There must be a hundred security cameras! I have read that thousands of hours of security camera videos and other videos are being withheld.
There are bits and pieces of videos showing instigators who are waving protesters on, and encouraging them to enter restricted spaces. Who are these instigators? I have previously read reports that these people were communicating via handheld radios?
These people who incited these protestors into a riot must be identified, and we must know who organized them! Really, this should not be that hard to do.
If the Speaker runs the Capitol Police as McCarthy seems to imply then when he becomes Speaker the first order of business should be to defund the Capitol Police and do away with it. Contract the Metro Police to take over the job.
I’ve been listening to clips of the hearing. We’re in deep trouble if (it’s actually more like ‘when’) our enemies decide to attack us. These infected, rotten people will be screaming and crying and scrambling to get to the underground bunkers on Capitol Hill.
The police testimony was embarassing enough but the congressmen’s reaction, esp the Adam boys, was waaay over the top.
