Let us not forget the six officers who died....according to a CBS\Face The Nation clip I am watching right now. Her exact words: "Six officers died in the aftermath....five from suicide." They are interviewing Harry Dunn...whom I remember being a lot lighter skinned when he starred in that movie with Lloyde, he says that Brian Sicknick died because of the assault....he just gets Dumber and Dumber.

And there are still officers dying!

I mean, they weren't at The Insurrection, but they're dying! I heard that an 86 year old former police Sheriff from some place in New Mexico passed away a few months ago.

I have it on good authority that no police officer who dies does so from anything other than January 6th related duties. CBS and Margaret Brennan said so.

It’s very interesting that Roseanne Boyland was determined to have died from “acute amphetamine intoxication” despite having been beaten by police, while George Floyd was determined to have died from a knee that didn’t touch his neck and NOT from having a blood level of fentanyl 11X the fatal dose. What a difference 7.5 months makes…

Just to be clear – the Dems could not give a 💩 about black deaths (or they’d be active against Chicago’s mayhem). This is entirely about destroying Western civilization using various manufactured wedge issues that depend on virtue signaling among people with no core values.

January 6th needs to be repositioned as the day the revolution started the beginning of the Golden Age…Trump needs to make it a National Holiday.

Merrick Garland just put out a press release claiming 5 officers died in the line of duty as a result of January 6.

How many J6 defendants were charged with manslaughter or murder? Exactly zero.

You know why he did that?

Because this is a lie that wouldn't hold up in a courtroom....and still every crazy eyed liberal will/ does believe it

Yes, a national holiday for one small group of negros hiding from the world in a very obscure area of Texas had to have news forced on them that the civil war was over for a little over two months and that they were no longer subject to being enslaved by the South. Talk about wanting to remain willingly ignorant. Don't look at the Wikipedia entry for Juneteenth. Celebrations didn't start as far back as claimed. They only started in Texas toward the end of the 1990s. Roughly about when Kwanzaa started making the news. It's all rewritten history to appease the blacks that even back then. They wuzzent kangs.

I had never heard of junteenth prior to Biden. (it even sounds so ignorantly made up) I am deeply suspicious of a holiday hidden fro the masses for over a century. I cannot think of another example...

This nonsense from The Atlantic works. All too well. I know. I have supposedly well educated extended family that goes for this nonsense. One even has letters behind his name of PhD. They are the smart ones because they read the correct articles, associate with other “smart” ones, and are told what to believe by other “smart” people. The one major thing that the whole WuHu flu era taught me was just how many people either don’t know how, are too afraid to, or are too lazy to think for themselves. They consider themselves the smart ones because they can repeat what some credentialed or some expert person told them to think about some topic. That is how we wind up with an easily controlled and manipulated populace that disregards reality. It really is a dangerous and unfortunate situation. Truth be damned.

I have a genuinely smart relative. And about as Beta/frightened as is possible for a man to be. An in-law by the way. Around 2007, the era of ‘the tipping point’ had just

been passed. It was over for humanity. We got talking about it. He is a PhD and a prof. He said ‘you aren’t serious, are you? You don’t believe in Climate Change?’ I said I didn’t and I gave him a 5 minute rundown on why it is absurd. He is genuinely smart. He knew what I was saying was right. He then said ‘why would you think this?’ I countered with ‘why would you think what you think?’ ‘But’ he said ‘if you think this you align yourself with George Bush and Sarah Palin.’ I countered with I am trying to align myself with what is true and real. Why wasn’t he? His argument was simple; to align himself with what is true if it goes against the academy is career suicide for him. He really didn’t care what was real. He wanted to advance and fit in. He acknowledged I had made some sound arguments but he would not follow up on them because he didn’t want it to slip out somewhere at a faculty lunch or dinner what he might think as a result. IOW he wanted to be willfully blind. It was safer.

In the intelligence community, the lowest possible (or no) weight is assigned to “single source” intelligence. There MUST be independent corroboration to give information any weight.

All these “proper thinkers” decline to evaluate information based on whether it has independent confirmation.

It’s come at an incredible cost, but the public (or at least half of it) learned to give NO credibility to “experts” unless their competence is independently corroborated. The trusted solon played by Sam Jaffe in 1951’s “The Day the Earth Stood Still,” if he ever existed in reality, is a long dead ideal.

Everyone has a tendency to focus on Jan 6 and the progressive propaganda around it. I look at it differently: I look at the outcomes from the propaganda. Liz Cheney is a laughingstock, and out of Congress forever, but at least she has a shiny participation medal to try and impress people with. Adam Kinzinger is also out for good, so he can focus on his real love, Ukraine. Cassidy Hutchinson, a true midwit, is going to end up in front of Congress, or at the very least be deposed or threatened with prosecution: or all of the above. Bennie Thompson is still dumb as a fence post and currently on hour five of trying to find his car in a snowy Walmart parking lot after buying his favorite cellophane wrapped heart attack. In other words...they shot themselves in the foot and it all fell apart. It's funny, but also tragic, it was a giant waste of everyone's time. Thanks for playing, Nancy!

I’ve excelled at English my entire life, but the hopefully dying language regime (where words are deemed offensive not by what they mean, but by who says them) is beyond my comprehension.

We inherited a black Lab from an elderly couple who’d named it “Tar-Baby.” The name had no negative connotations to us (being familiar with the word’s origin – Uncle Remus) but friends (especially liberals) were HORRIFIED: “It’s so RACIST!!!!”. I did some research and learned that the racist connotations were manufactured by liberals out of nothing after 1965 in an initial instance of “political correctness.” “Uncle Remus” was the fictional author of a collection of BLACK stories gathered from Civil War era plantations. Tar-Baby was a doll made out of pine tar.

Apparently it’s racist for blacks to lay claim to ANY culture between 1619 and 1965, even to oral literature that refers to non-racial characters. They were unidimensional during that period (slaves first, last & only) and referring to anything blacks created in that era in other than condemnatory language is racist. (Special exemption granted only to black women with advanced degrees on Black History teaching at a university.)

The whole situatione was bullshit, but we renamed her “Tara” to avoid the gasps, while not changing the sound of her name that much to her ear.

These are the same people saying math is racist.

It’s much more common in the Brits’ vernacular. MY vernacular emphasis equates the “c” word with pussy (admittedly without the positive attributes), but apparently the American Feminazis decreed otherwise.

I used to have a radio tuned to NPR down in the barn, facing outward to the poultry pasture, since it is said that human voices deter some/many predators.

If we play the game of remembering, the left and many of their pals in power, corporate, political, cultural, medical, or academic, they will look complicit in violent destruction of our culture and a putrid attempt at replacing it with total garbage.
