Speaker Pelosi and her Democrat colleagues were criticized after inviting the cast of Broadway's “Hamilton” to perform at a ceremony marking Jan. 6.
“We’re privileged to have a contribution from one of the great creative talents of our time, Lin-Manuel Miranda,” Pelosi said by way of introduction. “May his beautiful words be an inspiration to us.” After Miranda spoke, several members of different tour casts launched into a version of “Dear Theodosia,” which is sung in the show by Aaron Burr to his infant daughter.
Video of the virtual performance quickly spread across social media, with many criticizing it as inappropriate.
“Some of the absolute dumbest and most out of touch people on the face of the planet run this country,” sports blogger Anthony Irwin wrote.
“Having a real hard time coming to grips with the deadly riot being commemorated by ‘Dear Theodosia,’” posted the New York Times’ Evan Hill .
“All I ask of my Democratic coalition partners is to act like we are in a grave and protracted crisis of democracy, and this isn’t that,” The Atlantic contributing writer Tom Nichols posted.
“Jan. 6 will increasingly be seen by historians as just one pitched battle in the long-running snark vs. smarm debate,” tweeted Texas Monthly senior editor Christopher Hooks.

8 Times Left-Wing Protesters Broke Into Government Buildings And Assaulted Democracy

“Left-wing demonstrators have long made a habit of attacking, infiltrating, and occupying government buildings.
Self-absorbed congressional Democrats held a group therapy session on Capitol Hill on Thursday as they work tirelessly to immortalize Jan. 6 as an annual day of doom, but the rest of us are old enough to remember a few more times when riots and protests overwhelmed government buildings with no such theatrical response.
More than a few times, actually. The 2020 summer of rage was more or less “incited” by these same top Democrats, who race-baited as if their lives depended on it, and even our vice president, who helped bail violent rioters out of jail. It featured a number of these attacks on the government (which strangely weren’t called attacks on democracy at the time). ...”

Liberal Elites Want Us to Care About Jan. 6. But Don’t Care When Our Cities Burn
The real threat is an elite that value their lives more than ours

I remember the call from my husband on May 31. It was our anniversary, and he was out running errands before he came home—not because we had plans, but because there was a curfew in place in Minneapolis. He called to tell me he had to drive to a nearby suburb to pick up a medical prescription. “Our Walgreens on Hennepin Avenue isn’t there anymore,” he said. “It was burned to the ground.”
Over the spring and summer of 2020, thousands of businesses were looted, damaged, or totally destroyed during the George Floyd protests—especially here, where Floyd was killed. Every day we read heartbreaking stories of business owners begging and pleading with rioters to spare their livelihoods, many of them uninsured, pleas that went unheeded. There was over $2 billion in property damage.
And yet, to follow the mainstream news, you’d be forgiven for thinking the destruction of cities across the country—the decimation of small businesses, many of them owned by lower income people of color—wasn’t the biggest story of violence in recent history. That honor, to hear the media tell it, is reserved for an hours-long mobbing of the Capitol in Washington, D.C....
...This breathless, week-long commemoration—along with the sacrosanct solemnity with which January 6 is discussed in elite liberal circles—exposes whose lives really matter: the elites in D.C. ivory towers and Manhattan newsrooms. And it exposed whose lives don’t....
...The real threat to democracy is an elite class who has shown us they value their pain, their inconvenience, and their lives more than ours.

Nancy Pelosi’s cringe-inducing use of Hamilton at Jan. 6 event unites Americans… against her

Sen. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) achieved the impossible on Thursday by bringing all Americans together. How did she manage to pull off this phenomenal feat? By commemorating the one-year anniversary of the Capitol riot with a song from the cast of the hit musical Hamilton....
While the public was busy sparring over the significance of Jan. 6—which saw Republicans spreading conspiracy theories to pass off the blame as Democrats made outlandish comparisons to 9/11 and Pearl Harbor—the D.C. establishment was busy shooting itself in the foot.
Pelosi presented to her fellow lawmakers a pre-recorded clip over Zoom of the Hamilton cast singing “Dear Theodosia,”...
...Even worse, an old tweet from January of last year suggested that a Democrat-led insurrection would have somehow incorporated Hamilton.
“A liberal insurrection would have looked different,” the user wrote. “We would have escorted the original Broadway cast of Hamilton into the galleries. They would softly sing ‘History Has It’s Eyes On You’...
...Some even joked ...maybe the qanon shaman had a point...

The Riots that were “mostly peaceful “ ? Those riots ?
Map of damaged business in Minneapolis.
Have the cast said anything?
They should have had the chief of the capitol police cry for them.
RATS attempted to turn it into entertainment. Please clap.
haven’t seen any denial of what Arroyo said so far.
Here are the inspirational words they sung:
You will come of age with our young nation
We’ll bleed and fight for you
We’ll make it right for you
If we lay a strong enough foundation
We’ll pass it on to you, we’ll give the world to you
And you’ll blow us all away
Someday, someday
Yeah, you’ll blow us all away
Someday, someday
For Ashli Babbitt it was prophetic.
The “great talent of the age” wrote those cheesy words.......snx..

12 Questions the Justice Department and FBI Need to Answer About January 6
American Thinker | 7 Jan, 2022 | Julie Kelly
Posted on 1/8/2022, 7:45:17 AM by MtnClimber
Dear Senate Judiciary Committee Republicans:
The questions:
1) Why does the Justice Department consider 14,000 hours of surveillance video captured on January 6 by taxpayer-funded security cameras as “highly sensitive” government material? Why are even 30-second clips used in court proceedings under protective orders with strict rules about how defendants and their attorneys can view the evidence against them?
2) What is the status of the FBI’s lengthy investigation into the alleged “pipe bomber” and why, despite using every intrusive tool, including geofence warrants, to collect information on Capitol protesters, has the FBI not yet identified a suspect?
3) Is Ray Epps an FBI asset? If not, why has he not been charged despite clearly engaging in the same behavior that resulted in felony criminal charges against other January 6 participants?
4) Did the FBI run informants into alleged militia groups such as the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers before January 6? Can you confirm the New York Times reporting from September that disclosed at least two FBI informants were with the Proud Boys when they breached the first exterior barrier right before 1 p.m. on January 6?
5) Why is Stewart Rhodes—the founder of the Oath Keepers and “person one” in every indictment for the 20-defendant conspiracy case against the Oath Keepers—still not charged with any crime even though he clearly organized the alleged conspiracy and was on Capitol grounds on January 6?
6) Explain why the Justice Department, notwithstanding testimony to the contrary, had elite FBI forces stationed at Quantico the weekend before January 6. Hundreds of FBI agents were deployed to the area around the Capitol that morning and some entered the building with the first set of protesters who breached the actual building. Is this not a contradiction of what Justice Department and FBI officials previously testified under oath?
7) How many pre-trial detention orders has the Justice Department sought against January 6 defendants? How many remain behind bars right now? How many face nonviolent charges and have no criminal record? How can the Justice Department continue to ask for delays in trial dates for detained defendants—is this not a clear violation of the Sixth Amendment?
8) How many detainees have been held in solitary confinement conditions in the D.C. jail specifically used to house January 6 defendants?
9) Does any police officer face possible charges for excessive unlawful force, including the two D.C. Metro police officers who beat, punched, and maced Victoria White inside the lower west terrace tunnel on January 6?
10) Is there a formal investigation into the death of Rosanne Boyland outside that tunnel on January 6? Video and eyewitness accounts suggest she did not die of an accidental drug overdose but actually may have been the victim of police misconduct.
11) How many raids has the FBI conducted to arrest January 6 defendants and does this include Americans only charged with misdemeanors?
12) How much taxpayer money has the Department of Justice spent so far in what Merrick Garland called the agency’s largest investigation in history?
