20 Questions

…about January 6 [More]

I’d add “How could the government prosecute and sentence Stewart Rhodes to 18 years when he didn’t enter the Capitol and didn’t bring firearms into Washington DC?”

The real reason seems to be putting a hard stop to the notion that LEOs have a right and a duty to disobey unlawful orders.

The Childrens’ Crusade

The Democrat Mayor of Denver, Colorado Mike Johnston has challenged Trump to try to deport any illegal migrants from his city, saying he would deploy the Denver City Police and volunteers from the local community to use force against federal forces trying to deport illegals. “More than us having DPD stationed at the county line to keep them out, you would have 50,000 Denverites there. It’s like the Tiananmen Square moment with the rose and the gun… You’d have every one of those Highland moms who came out for the migrants. You don’t want to mess with them.” [More]

Nothing seditiously cospiratorial about that…

And armed with what?

Grumpy Old Man

I don’t know how I missed this a year-and-a-half ago:

He’s not just the Dotard-in-Chief, he’s the angry Dotard-in-Chief. What an ugly man.

That those around him knew — and still know — he was and is unfit just confirms he’s nothing but a stage prop, and that we have and are being ruled by an unelected shadow cabal.

Fact Check

Fact Check: How much was seized from protestors arrested in the Capitol, if not there, where and when, and how much of Everytown’s claim is just -trademark deceptive hysterics?

We’re the Only Ones Over the Edge Enough

Four officers who responded to the Capitol attack have since died by suicide. [More]

Out of 140 “injured”? How seriously? Does that include the ones gassed by their own incompetent deployment? So, basically 3% couldn’t handle it? What did they think could happen on the job? Does that sound normal? Should we be giving these people guns?

Yet none of the 1, 265 protestors, including all the citizens who have been incarcerated and had their lives destroyed and are facing years in prison have felt so inclined?

Why does this feel like a total Democrat propaganda piece timed to sway gullible voters?

Oh, because it is?

Looking a Gift Horse in the Mouth

The justices in a 6-3 vote on nonideological lines handed a win to defendant Joseph Fischer, who is among hundreds of Jan. 6 defendants — including former President Donald Trump — who have been charged with obstructing an official proceeding over the effort to prevent Congress’ certification of President Joe Biden’s election victory. [More]

That’s great news. But once again, Amy Coney Barrett casts doubt on her appointment.

She gave us Bruen, but as the saying goes, “What has she done for us lately?”

As I noted at the time:

While Barrett’s confirmation should give gun owners a degree of hope and should certainly be viewed as more positive than a Biden nominee being placed on the High Court, we’ll need to wait and see if the gun groups or the gun-grabbers are right in their assessments. Republican appointments have disappointed in the past. Warren Burger and David Souter coming to mind.

Back to J6, that means hundreds have been falsely accused, arrested, prosecuted,and imprisoned. Who will pay?

Democrats are still out there smearing them as insurrectionists and traitors.

We’re the Only Ones Crushing It Enough

This video shows irrefutable proof that Roseanne Boyland was NOT killed from a drug overdose (as the corrupt DC Coroner’s Office reported) but, in fact, died because of a stampede organized by Capitol Police. [More]

Yep… the wrong people

Still, we can’t just ignore autopsy toxicology results. What were they and have they been independently examined?

Then again, what’s good enough for George Floyd…
