Notes from the Resistance
Michael Byrd, who fatally shot rioter Ashli Babbitt as she tried to break into the Speaker’s Lobby, will be promoted to captain, according to an internal announcement reviewed by CQ Roll Call that lists more than 30 employees moving up the ranks on Sunday. [More]
Reinforcing their Dunning-Krueger self-evaluations and rewarding them is one way to keep the ones on the fence from spilling their guts. And this Byrd fool is incompetent enough to believe he deserves it.

Opposing a tyrannical regime that would do this is very different from being “anti-government.”
That so many social media “progressives” laugh at this and call these political prisoners “traitors” shows that with some, reconciliation is not only impossible, but who would want it?

There were multiple weapons and the materials to make some kind of explosive device akin to a Molotov cocktail, but it had not been assembled, according [sic] law enforcement officials familiar with the details. [More]
What kinds of “weapons”?
Everyone realizes if they have a gas can in the garage, an empty bottle, and a rag that they have bomb-making materials according to this “standard”?
This “story” sure is long on innuendo to smear all election integrity-doubting “insurrectionists” as violent nutjobs and short on substantiation.
If I didn’t know better, I’d think this was just another instance of low-hanging fruit federal kabuki theater for headlines.

When apportioning blame, don’t forget who owns a big share:
“I am proud to announce Christopher as my choice as the Director of the FBI. During his previous service at the Department of Justice, Christopher was the leader of major fraud investigations, and was a key part of the team overseeing the Justice Department’s actions in the war on terrorism following the 9/11 attacks,” said President Trump. “He is an impeccably qualified individual, and I know that he will again serve his country as a fierce guardian of the law and model of integrity once the Senate confirms him to lead the FBI.”

Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes and members of his antigovernment group will be the first Jan. 6 defendants sentenced for seditious conspiracy in a series of hearings beginning this week that will set the standard for more punishments of far-right extremists to follow. Prosecutors will urge the judge on Thursday to put Rhodes behind bars for 25 years, which would be the harshest sentence by far handed down in the U.S. Capitol attack. Describing the Oath Keepers’ actions as “terrorism,” the Justice Department says stiff punishments are crucial to send a message to future possible instigators of political violence. [More]
So now the world believes an organization that’s sole purpose is to honor the oath to the Constitution is “anti-government,” one that specifically stated:
Section 8.02. Restrictions on Membership: (a) No person who advocates, or has been or is a member, or associated with, any organization, formal or informal, that advocates the overthrow of the government of the United States or the violation of the Constitution thereof, shall be entitled to be a member or associate member.
Rhodes never went into the building. He never committed an act of violence. The prosecution did not prove specific orders to specific individuals to overthrow the government.
Since when do “far-right extremists” bent on the violent overthrow of the government purposely neglect to bring their guns to a planned “insurrection”?
The “crucial message” here is for “future possible instigators of political” dissent.
That came through loud and clear with the sanctioned murder of Ashli Babbit.
