FTA: "He told investigators he took a bus from Tampa to Washington, D.C., to take part in the riot." My B.S. meter just exploded! I guarantee you he "told" them nothing like that. He did not come to D.C. to "take part in a riot." The disgusting, lying, communist media never stops.

And to date not a single Antifa Domestic Terrorist who attacked the Federal Courthouse in Portland has been convicted. In fact, several hundred who were arrested have had the charges dropped and will suffer no consequences.

FTA: He was charged with a series of crimes, including those directly related to the fact they occurred in the Capitol building. He pleaded guilty last week to a single count of obstruction. So, not sedition? Not treason? This will make far-left heads explode.

With a felony conviction for a crime that occurred and somebody was killed he could be charged with murder. I presume he pled guilty. Prosecutors don't want a trial. Some actual facts and video might come out.

I'm really interested in knowing who broke the windows, who broke in vs who wandered in doors held open by the gatekeepers and the difference in the charges and final sentencing. Something tells me that the genuine Trump supporters who went with the crowd will be treated far more harshly that ANTIFA instigators who actually broke windows while Trump supporters implored them not to.

The playbook that the DOJ leftist are using is classic. Arrest people without actually charging them with anything and then terrorize them with solitary confinement and denial of basic civil rights until they confess to some obscure statute violation. The thugs get a scalp and they put the fear of god into anyone who would dare stand up to them and push for a real trial with all its expenses. Its real easy to intimidate people without the funds to actually defend themselves in court. Ask Eddy Gallagher who was railroaded by the military justice system for years as retribution for President Trump's election. His book, "The Man in the Arena" will make your blood boil and would make a great Clint Eastwood movie with its happy ending.

Rule #1 - Never, ever talk to the FBI without your attorney being present. Say Nothing! Rule #2 - The FBI is not your friend, considers you guilty until proven innocent, and is not interested in Justice being served. Rule #3 - The FBI is the police force of the communist death democrats and is out to arrest and imprison anyone who is opposed to the Federal Communist Government. Not to be trusted. Abolish the FBI Free America!

Obstruction?! That's what they charge you with when they can't get you on any underlying crime. When you offer a defense against the charges such that they fall apart. they get you for Obstruction. That is what Muellhead was hoping to hang on Pres Trump, And even Fatty Barr couldn't see it. OK where are the pics of him "obstructing?" All I find is Hodgkins standing quiet holding a large Trump flag. What was he obstructing, Wray's view? Disgusting.

Could 23-year-old college graduate Karoline Leavitt be the Republican version of AOC? U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., was the youngest member of Congress when first elected to Congress in 2018, having defeated a top-ranked Democrat in the primary before winning in the general. Leavitt is running against two-term U.S. Rep. Chris Pappas, D-N.H., and should she prevail, she would be 25 when she takes office — the Constitution requires members to be at least 25. Her plan to defeat Pappas is to run against President Biden’s policies and what she calls the “tyrannical … corruption” of New York’s Gov. Andrew Cuomo, the New York Post reported.

The House’s select committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection is likely to encompass more than a violent Capitol riot. It’s shaping up to be Congress’ final word on national-security breakdowns that led to the attack — and how much those failures are tied to Donald Trump. With a few exceptions, congressional oversight of the former president and his administration is effectively moot. But Democratic leaders expect that the select panel, whose work began in earnest this month, will turn up troubling new details of Trump’s behavior as he championed an effort to overturn President Joe Biden’s 2020 election victory.

President Biden argued that a massive influx of government spending bill will help fend off inflation, in a speech on the state of the economy at the White House on Monday. The White House has dubbed the $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill that Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer plans to bring to the floor this week — and the $3.5 trillion budget resolution that Democrats plan to pass in the coming days without Republican support — the “Build Back Better” package. Biden said Monday that the two bills will help prevent, rather than exacerbate, runaway inflation.

I don’t know what he expected to achieve by the exercise, but I’m pretty certain that what he accomplished represented a significant deviation from the plan. The piece framed Black Rifle Coffee as a “Starbucks for conservatives” and promoted the piece by saying that the company was trying to distance itself from some of its customers.

As summer reaches peak heat, a recent piece in Time magazine on air conditioning exemplifies the rot pervading academia and threatening the nation. Eric Dean Wilson, an instructor and graduate student at City University of New York, wrote about how air conditioning will destroy the planet. His essay demonstrates the confluence of such intellectually fashionable ideas as environmentalist extremism, critical race theory, equity, and the condemnation of capitalism and “white supremacy.” Wilson has no training in climate science or mechanical engineering. Yet he teaches “climate-themed writing and environmental justice” at the City University of New York. Wilson describes his recent book
