JANUARY SIXTH-A-PALOOZA: 2024

biden bloodHere’s what will apparently be an annual post for as long as demagogues insist on pretending there was an “insurrection” (LMAO) on January 6th, 2021. Uh. Yeah. No guns, no police officers killed (despite Joe Biden’s absurd claims otherwise) and the Capitol building’s doors were OPENED for the trespassers by the authorities, as shown on film.

And remember, NOTHING THAT HAPPENED ON JANUARY SIXTH COULD HAVE PUT TRUMP BACK IN THE WHITE HOUSE! Learn something about how your own government works, anti-Trump fascists! At any rate, here we go again: 

biden riots in dc

BIDEN CALLED THESE RIOTS MOSTLY PEACEFUL PROTESTS

The overwrought propaganda of Biden supporters on this date has me laughing VERY hard. They theatrically pretend that the mass trespassing incident of January 6th, 2021 was “worse than the Civil War and the 9-11 attacks.” What disingenuous garbage.

Their monumental and hilarious political hypocrisy is on full display in Washington DC as Democrats engage in political theater while pretending to revere the Capitol Building and its “symbolism.” (LMAO) Before I became an Independent Voter I spent most of my life as a Democrat and believe me, they feel contempt for the Capitol and its “symbolism”, even calling it one of the “institutions of imperialist rule” and “the seat of White Supremacy and systemic racism in America.”

Democrats also despise people who DO revere the Capitol and its symbolism, dismissing them as simple-minded patriotic rednecks.

Nancy Pelosi demagogueOn January 6th, 2021, a “mostly peaceful protest” (as Democrats described the MONTHS-LONG Antifa riots which terrorized the country) at the Capitol turned into a chaotic mass-trespassing incident with the Democrats of the Capitol Police even killing an unarmed woman. Suddenly, Democrat pretensions that they revered the Capitol poured from the mouths of the demagogues of the Democrat Party.

Hey, let’s rename it “the Demagogue Party”. After all, the Democrat Party is the country’s oldest existing institution which launched a Civil War and fought for slavery, so a name change for that political party is LONG overdue. Okay, so they won’t rename themselves the Demagogue Party, but they should rename it something to distance themselves from the Democrat Party’s horrifically racist past.

capitol bombing 1983Anyway, Democrats felt that their OWN storming of the Capitol was fine back on October 4th, 2018, even though THEY WERE INTERFERING WITH ONE OF THOSE GOVERNMENT FUNCTIONS WHICH THEY NOW PRETEND SHOULD BE SACROSANCT. Democrats/ the left cheered on that activity. And let’s not forget the way the left literally set off a BOMB in the Capitol on November 7th, 1983. Also HERE. A million dollars (by 1983 standards, so much more today) in damage was done.

Most adults are above the fake tears and the fear-mongering which truly pathetic Democrat members of Congress are indulging in regarding January 6th. The Democrats will probably never lose their competitive edge in phoniness and manufactured emotion, so non-Democrats – as in Independents, Third Party Voters, Republicans and People Who Claim No Political Affiliation, in other words THE REST OF US – will always need to remain highly skeptical of any and all political theater from them. 

Kenosha democrat riotIn May 2020 when the White House was violently attacked for about 24 hours and many secret service agents were seriously injured, Biden and other Democrats said Trump “used tear gas against peaceful protestors” even though it’s been proven that he DIDN’T use tear gas on those “peaceful protestors.” Listen to those Democrat hypocrites today and the draconian measures they now recommend against civil disobedience!
.
The night of May 31st, 2020 rioters set fires all over the capital of the United States. A mob of them gathered outside the White House and threatened to storm it. The president was said to have been moved to a bunker. Many Democrats laughed at him and supported the mob. Never mind that the safety of the president, as a symbol of America and self-governance, goes beyond individual or party and should never be a laughing matter, like Democrats are now sniveling about the Capitol.
.
Who knows? Some day the January 6th protestors may be looked on as the victims of governmental authoritarianism, like the Bonus Marchers of long ago. Nobody knows how events will be viewed decades and centuries from now, no matter how much Democrats pretend that they do with their ridiculous “right side of history” nonsense.

DEMOCRATS REMOVE TRUMP FROM A STATE BALLOT LIKE THEY DID WITH ABRAHAM LINCOLN IN 1860

blocked from ballotIndependent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog takes a look at the latest anti-Trump hysteria here in Joe Biden’s corporate fascist kleptocracy. As always, everyone is welcome here no matter who they vote for.

abraham lincoln and trumpFor overseas readers, let me be clear that the title of this blog post is no joke. Abraham Lincoln also caused Democrats to froth at the mouth with hatred even more than they usually do and he was removed from multiple state ballots in the 1860 election, which he went on to win.

Obviously, this move by Colorado’s Democrat Supreme Court taking Trump off its ballot for 2024 is unconstitutional, but I’m not as confident as others are that the U.S. Supreme Court will overturn the decision. The rival gangs of white-collar criminals called the Democrat and Republican Parties are still a terminal cancer on the body politic and they don’t want outsiders like populist Donald Trump rocking their crooked boat. 

trump and jfkI’ll have more to say on this in the days ahead, but holiday preparations limit my time today. Here are items written by others about this latest anti-Trump travesty:

DEMOCRATS’ ANTI-TRUMP BALLOT STUNT ISN’T GOING AS PLANNED.

ayatolla andCOLORADO DEMOCRATS ON THEIR STATE SUPREME COURT REMOVED TRUMP FROM BALLOT OVER THINGS HE HASN’T EVEN BEEN CHARGED WITH. A mere hearing report was their basis for this unconstitutional decision.

AS I WROTE IN THIS ARTICLE THERE WAS NO “INSURRECTION” ON JANUARY SIXTH AND NOTHING ON THAT DAY WOULD HAVE PUT TRUMP BACK IN THE WHITE HOUSE.

Trump in the wayCONGRESSMEN AND A FEW GOVERNORS RESPOND TO COLORADO OVERREACH WITH CALLS TO REMOVE BIDEN FROM THE BALLOT IN TEXAS AND FLORIDA. Hey, why not, since Colorado made it clear they did not base their decision on any actual verdict in any trial anywhere. But we’ll see if Republicans have the backbone to go through with this. I’m betting they don’t.

REACTIONS AND CONDEMNATIONS CONTINUE TO POUR IN OVER COLORADO’S UNCONSTITUTIONAL ACTION AGAINST TRUMP. Continue reading

JOE BIDEN’S DAUGHTER ASHLEY IS THE LATEST BIDEN TO BE FOUND OWING BACK TAXES.

Andrew YangDEMOCRAT ANDREW YANG ON HOW DEMOCRATS HAVE BETRAYED THE WORKING CLASS. Excerpts: “Yang pointed out that the Democrats’ snobbery and contempt for working class voters was why he entered the presidential race in the first place, to try to bring the party back to its long-abandoned base.”“The Democrats can barely conceal their disdain for the working class and the poor.

He talked about that. He talked about the criminal justice reform. He talked about opportunity zones. He talked about school choice.”

        “Jones also called out “the bubble” in which white Democrats live, a confirmation bias bubble which prevents white Democrats from acknowledging Trump’s positive results in minority communities. That same bubble also prevents white Democrats from seeing Trump’s positive results for the entire working class.” For the full piece click HERE. Continue reading
