Tell me if you think
Not a great speech. But does any of this sound like sedition? No.
Trump has been banned from Facebook.
Trump has been banned from Instagram.
Trump has been banned from Twitter.
The AG for Washington D.C. has not thrown out the idea of prosecuting Trump for sedition.
And the House is about to impeach Trump again…with eleven days left in his Presidency.
2020 might have ended but the insanity has just started.
Sad and Scary
A witness to the fatal shooting of Ashli Babbit told a local news station that the 35-year-old woman was shot by police after she “rushed to the windows” of the U.S. Capitol as officers told protesters to get back.
According to the news report, Babbit’s husband, Aaron Babbit, saw graphic video clips of the incident and tried to get ahold of his wife, fearing it was her who was injured. Later, the victim was confirmed to be his wife.
Aaron said Babbit, a 14-year veteran of the U.S. Air Force, went to D.C. to protest alone. He planned on picking her up later in the week.
I know this is not going to be a popular opinion but I did see the video. Babbit was ordered by the Capital Police to stand down. She crawled on someone’s shoulders and tried to enter. She was shot in the neck and died a short time later. She didn’t listen to police and was breaking the law. The fact she is a Conservative and is a 14-year veteran of the Air Force does not change the fact she was breaking the law and refused to listen to police. She was shot. It was a justified shoot. I’m sorry she dies but, if she had been allowed to do what she was trying to do, more would have done it.
Now that I think the police were justified in shooting an unarmed white woman who was breaking the law, I feel it is appropriate to question the bad.
Sixty police officers were injured and one died of a medical condition. He had some sort of medical condition. Two other rioters dies of medical conditions. There were 68 arrests of rioters.
The explosive devices found at the Republican National Committee and Democratic National Committee’s officers in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday were reportedly real.
Sources told ABC News late Wednesday that investigators were analyzing the remnants of the devices to find clues about their construction and conducting chemical tests. The investigation is ongoing.
He also said a cooler with a long-gun and molotov cocktails was also recovered from the area around the Capitol. According to The New York Times, a 70-year-old Alabama man was arrested while in possession of molotov cocktail materials and a weapon.

Dozens Arrested in Aftermath of Capitol Riot DC Mayor Calls ‘Textbook Terrorism’
Where the Hell Were the Police?
Though the building was soon secured, with protesters arrested or removed, many Americans were left wondering: where’s all the security?
Ahead of the protest, federal authorities reportedly wanted to maintain a “minimally visible presence” to “avoid inflaming tensions,” after months of violent protests and riots in cities across America.
Despite advanced knowledge of the impending protest, United States Capitol Police — the federal law enforcement agency tasked with protecting the complex — declined to request additional support ahead of time from the Department of Homeland Security, according to one senior official.
The lack of manpower was evident in footage posted to Twitter which appeared to show the moment rioters first breached the perimeter set up by Capitol Police.
Terry Gainer, the former Capitol Police Chief, told NPR:
“We lost control of the steps and the areas around the exterior of the Capitol where the skin of the Capitol can be a bit more vulnerable because we don’t anticipate that vigilantes and riotous people are up there that close.”
The National Guard finally arrived and the controlled the scene.
According to The Wall Street Journal:
“Optics” were the main reason National Guardsmen weren’t closer to the Capitol grounds to begin with. “They wanted to avoid the optics of having any U.S. military personnel on the steps of the U.S. Capitol, and ordered the officers to avoid straying east of 9th Street in downtown Washington, blocks from the Capitol grounds, officials said.”
Timothy Dimoff, a former SWAT team member who now operates an independent security consulting company, said:
“They knew this group was coming, they knew it was going to be enormous, but they didn’t do any preparation.”
Rep. Tim Ryan (D-OH), chair of the committee which funds the Capitol Police, said:
“It’s pretty clear that there’s going to be a number of people who are going to be without employment very, very soon. Lack of professional planning and dealing with what we knew was going to occur.”
So far, and this won’t be the last story, the police chief of the Washington DC police has resigned. Here’s a news flash: Probably not his fault. Rumor has it Muriel Bowser, who thinks this is a reason for Washington D.C. into a state that she leads as governor, has told the police to stand down throughout the BLM riots. I may be cynical but I’m pretty sure that’s what happened on Wednesday. Heck, she told 500 National Guard troops to stand down.
This is a complicated issue. More investigations, which are worthless, are on the horizon.
The media will blame the following:
- Trump
- Conservatives
- The police
Republican leadership
They’re not going to blame Muriel Bowser, who is using this as an excuse to make her city a state and, therefore, her a governor.
They’re not going to blame to conditioning of the police, who were made to stand back in every riot for the past six months. If a police officer defended himself, he was a racist and lost his job.
They’re not going to blame the media who said that the only way a message could be received is by violent riots.
Remember this?
This is whataboutism and I hate it. Here’s the thing: the police do not celebrate whataboutism. The police are just going to do what they need to do not to get into trouble. That’s it.
The problem with the media is that there hypocrisy is causing this. They justify riots. The accept riots. Now, Conservatives riot and it’s not OK after five months and billions of dollars of damage from Antifa and BLM riots?.
Well, here’s the thing: It’s not OK. It’s not OK when Conservatives riot. It’s not OK when BLM riots. It’s not OK when Antifa riots. The media needs to be consistent to have any legitimacy. But they’re not legitimate so that’s not going to happen anytime soon.

Are We Seriously Doing This Again?
Just listen:
On Monday, Nancy Pelosi is set to submit articles of impeachment on Monday if Trump doesn’t resign immediately. Trump is set to give up power in eleven days.

The Media, Ugh!
Do I really need to do this again? Yeah, because it’s just going to get worse. I think I need to be able to say, “Remember this?”
This first cut talks about the riots, and there were over 500 of them, from May to September and beyond. These riots were run by BLM and Antifa, caused $2 billion in damage and injured 600 police officers. Thousands of businesses were destroyed and we were in the middle of a pandemic. But, as we have found, the China Virus is “woke.” Listen:
Now, this cut is the same media talking about the riot, and it was a riot, protesting Trump’s loss. By the way, the only riot started by a right-wing group. Listen:
See the difference?
Thank you Grabien.
This is What We Must Remember
This is completely correct from Marco Rubio.
This is what we must remember.
