ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS Could someone please help me find a video of the harass and assault of Republicans as they left an inaugural event (was it a party or a ball?) in January 2017?

The Washington Post is reporting that Special Counsel Jack Smith may try to convict former president Donald Trump all the way through the election and up to 11:59 am on January 20th. After the oath, the Justice Department has long maintained that it will not prosecute a sitting president.There is also a long-standing policy of the Justice Department to abstain from criminal proceedings before an election to avoid the appearance of trying to influence the outcome. Smith has signaled that he will discard that policy and that he is prepared to try Trump not only up to the election but...

The Obama administration, just 17 days before the inauguration of President Donald Trump, revised the guidelines of Section 2.3 of Executive Order 12333, "Procedures for the Availability or Dissemination of Raw Signals Intelligence Information by the National Security Agency."Although widely overlooked, the implications were broad and far-reaching.Under the new procedure, agencies and individuals could request the National Security Agency (NSA) for access to specific surveillance simply by claiming the intercepts contain relevant information that's useful to a particular mission.No privacy protection of the raw data was undertaken. Under the new rules, sharing of information was significantly easier–and the information being...

An image search of bidEn's inauguration will depict a mostly-sunny day. If the pic focuses on the oath, there will be full sun, with sharp shadows. If the pic focuses on sky, mostly clear. However, video of DC around noon that day is cloudy with snow flurries. The link is a 4 min bitchute vid from a press vantagepoint on a roof across the street, with lots of MSM and patriot mixed media. Here is one of many 'sunny' pictures of the swearing in that captures the sky particularly well:

Former first lady Michelle Obama’s said Monday in a preview of her new Audible podcast that “there weren’t that many people” at former President Donald Trump’s inauguration in 2016. Obama said, “We were at the inauguration, and we know whose inauguration we were at. That day was so emotional for so many different reasons. We were leaving the home we had been in for eight years, the only home our kids really knew. They remembered Chicago, but they had spent more time in the White House than anywhere, so we were saying goodbye to the staff and all the people...

Los Angeles Mayor-elect Karen Bass is set to be inaugurated on Sunday — and so city crews have been moving a homeless encampment from outside City Hall, hoping to avoid any unpleasant visuals when she is sworn in. The Los Angeles Times reported: Unhoused residents who have been living at 1st and Spring streets, some for several months, were loaded into vans Thursday and whisked to the L.A. Grand Hotel, a temporary homeless facility on Figueroa Street that is scheduled to shut down Jan. 31. Several said they were told that they needed to relocate in the run-up to Bass’...

As the Democrats’ prime-time Jan. 6 circus began, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) explained “the real purpose” of their televised hearings: “convincing Americans that conservatives are to blame for the events of that day,” leading to “a repudiation of conservatism and all those who hold conservative values. Democrats want to use the violence of Jan. 6 to stigmatize conservative voices and delegitimize conservative ideals. They’ve even talked—condescendingly, of course—about treating conservatives as ‘cult’ members who need to be deprogrammed.” In service of this goal, they’re not just running a prime-time show trial, but persecuting ordinary Americans who protested that day, and...

Eric Adams will delay his public inauguration ceremony by several hours on Saturday, Jan.1, to accommodate his Jewish supporters, the Forward reported Tuesday. Traditionally, the inauguration of New York City’s elected officials takes place on Jan. 1 at noon. This year, Jan. 1 is a Saturday, meaning the midday ceremony would be happening on Shabbat, when observant Jews typically do not travel. Adams decided to shift the ceremony until later in the evening after Shabbat ends so his observant Jewish supporters could attend. .....

This decision was mine, and mine alone. The old broken-down Crow, Mitch McConnell, had nothing to do with it," Trump said in an emailed statement. This statement comes after Politico obtained an excerpt from "Betrayal," the new book from ABC News chief Washington correspondent Jonathan Karl, that claimed McConnell...
