For 120 days in summer 2020, violent protesters destroyed some $2 billion in property and injured 1,500 police officers in riots that led to over 35 deaths.
Because blue-state mayors and governors saw BLM and Antifa instigators as useful street soldiers, most of those arrested were never tried in court. Street thugs paid no price for declaring themselves de facto owners of downtown areas of Seattle, which police themselves conceded were no-go zones. Why did public officials in blue states ignore the violence? They were certain that it enjoyed majority support among their leftwing constituencies.

If anything ever pushes this country into a civil war it will be the unequal application of the law.

VDH utterly nails it. I thank him for his eloquence. Must read.

The real insurrectionists are all those who facilitated Planned and executed the stealing of the election and the final coup on the day Pedo Joe was sworn in. MAGA = Make America Godly Again!

"Robert De Niro similarly announced that he had his sights on Trump, “I’d like to punch him in the face.”
Uhmmm...could he even reach that high? Trump is a large man, DeNiro is an ittybitty tiny guy.

The FBI is the Gestapo, the KGB and Stasi all rolled into one. Laws are ignored for leftists, twisted into gulags for those accused of patriotism.
If we can win massively this November, perhaps we can begin to put this evil genie back into it's bottle. If not, we are on a path to a civil war.

As long as we have this two-tier justice system, domestic terrorists will roam unabated and patriots will be labeled domestic terrorists.

I haven't seen anything here on Peggy Noonan's latest insipid atrocity, "The Courage of Jan 6 witness Cassidy Hutchinson", which the WSJ has been highlighting on its front page for a week. Often, when one of the WSJ's lies gets debunked, that paper just keeps rolling with it, as is the case with Peggy's Hutchinson dramatization. A woman (again!) tried to paint Pres Trump as an insurrectionist himself on Jan 6. And failed. Of course, Noonan bought it.
So, Peggy, what's so courageous about getting on national TV and lying through your teeth? Oh, I know, writing a national column about it.........

When we have had enough of Leftist games and create a new set of laws that more closely resemble the Constitution, there are going to be thousands of unhappy and disappointed people in this country. Go ahead, Lefties, keep doing what you are doing. The fun will be over soon. Many of you who are now crooked AGs, DAs, judges, lawyers, mayors, governors and plain old school board members, your time in the spotlight is almost over.

If you want a brilliant summary of where we are, VDH gives it to us right here. “ So yes, let us fear that democracy is dying in media darkness. Real insurrectionists are seeking to dismantle the Constitution, to end centuries-long customs and traditions, to justify the use of political violence, and to disobey all the laws they find inconvenient.”
We are at war, we are at war for our lives because, as VDH eloquently tells us in so many words, they want Patriots, US, dead.

Definition of insurrection: an organized and usually violent act of revolt or rebellion against an established government or governing authority of a nation-state or other political entity by a group of its citizens or subjects; also, any act of engaging in such a revolt. Defines Antifa and BLM to a T.
Definition of instigation: implies responsibility for initiating or encouraging someone else's action and usually suggests dubious or underhanded intent. Defines FBI, Deep State as what they are.
Our government is not being straight with we the people and this will not end well. They call good evil and evil good. Injustice by the government will result in a very dangerous outcome. People know right from wrong and they are not going to accept the democrats lies. We know better.

I think the real insurrection started when Obama was elected and then re-elected. The Dems/Left found their perfect (his skin color protected him) man to begin the open destruction of this county, i.e., the fundamental transformation he and the Left promised us. And the GOPe is right along with them.

Nervous Nancy needed a reason to stop President Trump from running again in 2024...so she contrived an "insurrection" plot...does she mean to indict President Trump?...no...she what's to DELAY his entry into the primary...by keeping him in court answering false allegations...she is getting desperate....

Does anybody know how to find the video of kamel a hairass saying on late night tv in Summer 2020 that “the riots should continue until the election and even beyond the election”?
I’ve seen it before but can’t find it.
