My latest in PJ Media:
No one can point to any statement from President Trump calling upon his supporters to storm the Capitol, much less to stage a coup against the U.S. government, but it doesn’t matter anymore. The establishment media and the social media giants are insisting that he incited the attack on the Capitol and was trying to install himself as a dictator by means of a guy with a buffalo horn hat and some other dopes and wingnuts, and if you don’t believe it, you’re a racist, bigoted, MAGA-hat-wearing fascist who deserves to be silenced along with the president, and soon will be. But it’s clear who the real fascists are, and they are exploiting their Reichstag Fire moment to the fullest.
On February 27, 1933, four weeks after Adolf Hitler became Chancellor of Germany, the Reichstag, the German parliament building in Berlin, caught fire. The culprit was a Dutch Communist, Marinus van der Lubbe, who apparently had acted alone. Hitler, however, insisted that the Communist Party, which was a considerable force within the Reichstag, had set the fire, and pressed German President Paul von Hindenburg to approve of an emergency law suspending civil liberties. Communist leaders, including the Communist members of the Reichstag, were hunted down and arrested.
Without their presence in the Reichstag, the National Socialists and their coalition partners had a majority. That enabled the Nazis to pass a further law, the Enabling Act, on March 23, 1933, giving Hitler dictatorial powers and removing any obstacle to his absolute supremacy.
While some people have always maintained that the whole thing was a false flag, most historians believe than van der Lubbe really did set the fire. Nonetheless, the advantages it gave to the Nazis were clear, and so it was no surprise when, at the Nuremberg Trials after World War II ended, German General Franz Halder declared that he had heard one of the most prominent and influential Nazis, Hermann Göring, boast that he himself had set the fire. When confronted with Halder’s statement, Göring denied having had anything to do with the fire, but there is no doubt that its chief beneficiary was Germany’s new National Socialist regime. The Reichstag fire enabled the National Socialists to declare their political opponents enemies of the state and accordingly silence them and outlaw their activity, and opened the door to World War II and the Holocaust.
There is much more. Read the rest here.

This seems like a very apt comparison, I have not read the whole article,but I agree. Supposedly antifa actually came and did much of the violence and incitement. The double standard of the democrats is such that they would never condemn any democrat for the riots this summer. Why not impeach biden and harris for these riots. They never discouraged them, and Harris and her friends helped bail out rioters. Why is that not punishable or impeachable behavior. Or the mobs around the White House and government buildings. Why can’t the mayors, governors and councils be prosecuted for allowing or even inciting them. Of course if the dems benefit from something then it is understandable and due to their moral imperatives. They will never be impeached or tried for anything.
CogitoErgoSum says
Yes, it seems to me the message to the American people that the Democrats have been sending this past year is that when you want to protest something going on a rampage is no big deal.
mortimer says
Agree with CES: the Dems don’t mind when its their people rampaging.
Kepha says
After the riot at the Capitol (which I do not condone), I read Heine’s _Silesian Weavers_, which was a comment on the violent suppression of an 1844 labor strike. A shroud is being woven for the classical liberal order. I mourn.
Brando says
The latest is: Trump has SIGNED the INSURRECTION ACT.
1.Also 6,000 soldiers are in WASHINGTON ,DC,more coming to make it 10,000.
2.The PRIME MINISTER of ITALY has been ARRESTED for his part in the US electoral fraud.
3.The POPE has been arrested for CHILD TRAFFICKING and fraud,the Vatican is in BLACKOUT and the Pope we see now
is Not the Real Pope,but a HOLOGRAM.
4.TWITTER has had a fall of 11% or 500 BILLION dollars in LOSS today,for what it did to Trump.
Brando says
I forgot to say they say Trump will also make public ALL the classified info that is not detrimental to US security:
9/11 files, Kennedy assasination files,
Roswell and UFO files, etc.
If so, the next logical step would be for him to Pardon ASSANGE and SNOWDEN.
gravenimage says
This seems rather unlikely, Brando.
Westman says
Could you wait until April 1 before posting this “information”?
Infidel says
Brando, on your 4th point, today, Gab is back up, even if Parler ain’t. Yesterday, it was horribly slow and down, maybe due to DDOS attacks, but today, they can be accessed. Hopefully, Parler gets back in some days
How many people here post on Breitbart as well? All of their comments are now being intercepted, and many, including innocuous ones, rejected. Anyone else experienced this?
Linde Barrera says
To Brando-Thank you for this information. I was at the STOP THE STEAL rally at the Ellipse in Washington DC and was sitting about 100’ away from President Trump. He began speaking at 12 noon (was scheduled to speak at 11 am) and ended at 1:15 pm. Whoever arrived at the Capitol between 1:00-1:30 could not have been at the Ellipse rally because it takes about 25-30 minutes to walk up Pennsylvania Avenue. Cars were allowed only on the side streets. My point is that some people INSIDE the Capitol were not Trump supporters.
Infidel says
That’s precisely the point Raheem Kassam was making yesterday on Newsmax
maria says
Of course the Antifa and the whole Big tech Google, Apple, Amazon, Facebool and Instagram are more and more like the Nazis.
The Nazis used a feeble minded person a Diutch communist van der Lubbe to set fire on the Reichstag
The same thing is now when Antifa caused chaos on Capitol Hill and immediately accused President Trump´s speech caused the chaos.
And the US is in a danger of neonazism . This fraud government will destroy not only the rightful President but the whole of the US:
There are moe than 75 millions people who are for President Trump, at least 200 millions people and they must realize that the Left, Big Tech, Iran and China all want to destroy the US.

Alarmed Pig Farmer says
As I read this, this morning, over at PJMedia, I wondered: I’ve looked at dozens of articles on Wednesday’s event and they all treat the factuality that Trump said or did things to incite a riot as open to question one way or another, but none of these essays dwelt on whether the claims were factually true. So I wondered why does it take the world’s foremost expert on Islam to cover the charges made against President Trump. Oh, now I know why, cuz Spencer and his crew have been relentlessly pursuing the truth for years now, which means Spencer has lotsa practice at covering factuality on highly sensitive subjects, and so on one of the world’s foremost political websites went ahead and had him cover the question in detail.
mortimer says
The Prez did nothing to incite a riot. However, Pelosi and many other Dems have spoken in favor of riots that took place last year. Many of the protesters at the Congress protest tried to stop the intruders.
Frank Anderson says
mortimer, like Hitler’s Germany, facts and law have nothing to do with who is punished. It is all a matter of who is in charge and has the votes. Best wishes to you always.
Brian Hoff says
Antifa. Have nothing to do with coup at the Capitol.. MAGA people plan it on they wedsites for than month to stop Congress from counting the elect college vote.
Ugly Sid says
Brian, say hi to your mom next time you exit the basement. Thanks
Excathedra is becoming your middle name. Document your suspicious if you would like them to be seriously considered.
LB says
As much as I don’t like agreeing with antifa soy-guzzlers like Brian Hoff here, he actually has a point here: Antifa had NOTHING to do with the Capitol takeover.
The siege on the Capitol was a culmination of years and even DECADES of frustration of the white working and middle class people who have been disenfranchised, silenced, abused, mistreated, their votes stolen, and getting blamed for every evil that ever occurred in the history of the world. It was about damn time they fought back!
You antifa cucks have been rioting for almost a full year and what did you do? Burned down small (often times immigrant-held) businesses? Burned down Starbucks and Wendy’s? And how many of you were doing the protesting at once? Couple of hundreds, maybe a thousand or two? Disgraceful and pathetic! Trump supporters on the other hand only ever rioted once (so far) and they occupied the FEDERAL CAPITOL with a force of at least QUARTER MILLION PEOPLE! Now that is how you get your voices heard! That was a historic moment and no one should let antifa take the credit.
Unfortunately, with every single institution being controlled by ultra leftists, they have used this as a pretext to ramp up their pogroms against Trump supporters EVEN MORE than they already did prior to elections. Trump got banned everywhere (no one even knows if he’s even alive), almost every alternative right wing platform got shut down, talk-radio threatens to cancel decades-long conservative radio shows, etc. As Robert Spencer puts it, this is exactly what the Nazis did to get in power. It remains to be seen whether history will repeat itself once again…
Infidel says
LB, I agree w/ you. As Mark Steyn noted, People are surprised when a tactic that’s proved effective by one group of people, is taken up by another group of people. All these months, Antifa and BLM rioted, and everybody seemed to condone them: the only condemnations were from the President and a part of the right (not even the full right). This included attacks on state and local government buildings in Madison and Portland, and nobody said a thing. Suddenly, when they attack the Capitol, we’re all supposed to pretend that it’s all sacrosanct
Either everything is, or nothing is!
Ugly Sid says
Lb,
I’m awaiting more complete information. But an Anti was reportedly standing next to the deceased Trump supporter, whether there in an official capacity or as an innocent tourist I cannot determine. I saw a video of “rioters” entering the staircase to the rotunda ( I guess – never beenthere ) as the fire doors were held open by, what seemed to be uniformed capital police. Congress, not the executive, controls their own police. I don’t know what this means.
I suspect the guy in black, including the helmet, with the Trump sticker on the back of his headgear the only color who climbed to an elevated window with a hammer wasn’t A Trump guy. Same for the reported to we holding a “F the police” sign. Same for the reports of feces spreading. I’ve been around conservatives for a lifetime & I’m not buying it.Same for the battlers on the row of barcades that looked like bike racks. Same for the punches on the floor.
Add to that Paul Sperry’ s comment upon a bus load of leftists escorted in, and I’m withholding on this. Looks fishy, but very useful for Democrat purposes.
Infidel says
Sid, the guy in the Viking helmet w/ the face-paint – his name is Jake Angeli. I recall reports of him being present during the Antifa riots during the summer. So LB is not totally accurate in implying that there were no Antifa participants
Ugly Sid says
Rog,
“Rioters”? And why Democrats in office mean more Islam?
That’s more than slight gullibility and naivete.
Obama was an Islamic Johnny Appleseeed. Look at what he did to Mike Flynn & why.
Ugly Sid says
Encouraging rioters and promoting civil unrest? Anyone doing that should be impeached. Like Komradski Harris.
Roger Blake says
I can not believe Robert Spencer is supporting the rioters. This is a new low. I like the info on Islam but this article is wishful thinking and nothing but lies.

Analysis of Ashli Babbit Video Suggests Coordinated Actions–Interview With Masako
https://www.theepochtimes.com/video-analysis-of-ashli-babbit-video-suggests-coordinated-actions-interview-with-masako_3652783
This interview….with a very astute, observant, truthful young woman…should be watched by everyone.
She tells what she was able to see on two different videos taken at the scene and explains the actions of three different males…agitating the crowd, breaking the windows and changing clothes afterward in order to escape.
And the man interviewing her also had some information to add from his position in the parking lot while it was going down and immediately afterward.
Clearly, the antif thugs were there and making things happen the way they wanted them to…as the young reporter said in the video, “Divide and conquer,” as they divided the supporters of Mr. Trump…and who also support the police…from the police, in order to pit them against each other.
While the officers were attempting to save Ms. Babbit’s life, antif sullivan was shouting “she’s dead, she’s dead,” as was the guy in the parking lot describing the shooting in very excited terms.
Rob Porter says
Alarmed Pig Farmer. Do you have a problem expressing yourself clearly?

Mo matter what you trie to get justice for Trumps stolen presidency you always end up loosing with Trump beeing blamed for any unfortunate incident he didn’t have anything to do with .

I’m asking myself if there is a way out of this idiocy back to when good was good and evil was evil , because right now it seems like everything is upside down.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
Trumps stolen presidency
+1 on that.
It’s the same with Islam
The same but on a far most sensitive subject, one that could get you killed speaking freely about it.
Wellington says
Give the American Left a little more time, APG, and killing, APG, is definitely in the offing.
Just consider how that miscreant, Maxine Waters, in 2018 called for people to get “in the face” of Trump supporters dining out. What happened to Pam Bondi and her family and Sarah Sanders and her family, when in a public restaurant, serve as a preliminary to modern Leftism trying to “match” Islam. Just this past week, look at what Josh Hawley and his family have been exposed to. Ditto for Tucker Carlson’s family and Bret Kavanaugh and his family too.
Violence is surely on the horizon, courtesy of the Democratic Party and its allies, the MSM, Antifa and BLM. And proving this all the more is what that extra horrible miscreant, John Brennan, said this very week, to wit, demanding “lists” of Trump supporters, as that monumental idiot, AOC, has and which is preliminary to education camps followed inevitably by death.
EVERY totalitarianism not only destroys freedom; every totalitarianism also can’t deal with any disagreement of the “received truth” and will punish all those who deviate from the received truth.
I expect this from Islam, oldest, still-continued totalitarian ideology on earth. But now, one of the two major political parties of the greatest power on earth has descended into a fledgling totalitarianism of its own. Nancy Pelosi (how I utterly loathe this extremely limited woman) serves as the “poster girl” as of present for this descent, but the old hag will soon be replaced by even more woke than her. Omar and AOC come to mind.
The Democratic Party of the USA is following in the “foot steps” of Islam. Nothing could be clearer. The only distinction shaping up between decrepit Islam and the decrepit Democratic Party is a matter of method—outright killing by Mo followers—utter financial ruin, interminable hounding of all sorts and political assassination by Dem followers.
N.B.: To all decent Democrats still left, your party is beyond redemption. You must leave it. There is no longer any chance of saving it.
mortimer says
Agree with Wellington. But the Dem revolutionaries, I believe, will turn on one another.
James Lincoln says
Wellington,
Your advice to all the decent Democrats (and there are still some) that are still left is “spot-on”…
#WalkAway – NOW…
https://www.walkawaycampaign.com/
St. Croix says
Wellington, “the footsteps of Islam”–yes, so many shared methods. And I would say the distinction you point out between the Dem. Party and Mo followers would add up to what the dhimmi experience in those countries where Muslims are in majority: utter financial ruin, interminable hounding of all sorts–as you put it.
The woke theme, the very useful “cancel culture” schemes falling under the “interminable hounding” banner. Muslims have been cancelling religious minorities for centuries. Forbidding repairs on churches, boycotting businesses run by Christians, intimidation, “apartheid”, labelling, making them wear the equivalent of the “star” (the Muslims is where the Germans borrowed this from), etc etc. Coming soon, to the U.S.A.?
I guess they can’t cancel half the population, but the “leaders” and visible, vocal critics will be targeted first. And the threat of being cancelled and ruined should be enough to hold the rest of the dissenters in line. Again, another fave method of Islam: threats and force towards those who would dare dissent, criticize or leave the fold. So what we are seeing now is a secular radicalism, and they’re after the non-believers, and want to warn would-be apostates by making those an example.
Reminds me of Erdogan in Turkey. Every political opponent and journalist who were critical of him and the AKP are in jail or in exile. He used the “coup” (which he probably organized) to consolidate his powers and get rid of more who might challenge him. Thousands were rounded up and arrested for “their part in the coup.”
Sounds familiar, up to the point we see now in the U.S. The arrests are coming soon, in fact, some have been swiftly arrested, Buffalo-horn man, being one. Interesting that in all the burning and rioting and even murder and assault, committed by Antifa and BLM rioters, arrests were scarce on the ground. Looters looted, window smashers, smashed away. With no one seemingly interested in arresting them.
It’s hard to believe what we are witnessing. And I know it’s going to get worse.
Rob Porter says
Wellington. The reality is that Americans who love their freedom need to organize and begin terrorizing John Brennan, James Clapper and their disgusting ilk. I’m sure you have a few special forces men who can guide these efforts. Two can play at the terrorizing game. Don’t allow this Democrat enemy to operate with impunity. Let them pay a price on each occasion they make life miserable for Trump supporters.

Rob, civilized people don’t engage in terrorization. You must have us confused with Muslims and Leftists.
manzoor alam says
so true
somehistory says
The wicked witch of the west…in CA..says it was “Whiteness” that is to blame and the President is “deranged and unhinged, and dangerous to the Democracy.”
She gave pence 24 hours to get rid of Mr. Trump or it would be impeachment.
A republican in the house kept that first thingy of hers from going through.
Tucker Carlson said they have to get rid of Mr. Trump because he has the dregs of society as his supporters and voters and that he doesn’t hate these people, but those who are ousting him, do hate the voters who like him. (dregs is not a quoted word)
Judicial Watch, Tom Fitton, says that all of Mr. Trumps supporters will be kicked off the internet. He says, “the left has now said, if you oppose their policies, that’s the equivalence of violence and you have to be removed. If you raise questions,” about the election or lockdowns, “you can’t be on the internet.”
john brennan…we all know who he is, or **what** he is, said, “Anyone now seeking national redemption by claiming to no longer support Trump must acknowledge how wrong it was to ignore and enable his corrupt, dishonest, & divisive agenda. Total denunciation of a despot’s legacy is necessary to eradicate any remaining malignancy.” he used the twit space to say all that.
“redemption”….such a word for such a liar to use. tsk, tsk.
And on top of all of that, the sullivan guy of Utah arrested infamy,.. the one who threatened Mr. Trump… made a video inside the building and told the police that he was a “reporter” and refused to leave. He told the people inside the building that it needed to “be burned down.”
His female accomplice exclaimed to him, “We did it, we did it, just like you said.” He said he had to “infiltrate” the President’s supporters so he wouldn’t get “beat.”
The police made some people leave the building, but he was not made to leave. I believe the name of his gang group is ‘insurrection’ or something similar.
Those who are behind biden, and his support is already slipping regarding what he intends to do the first thing, are a bunch of liars; and we Bible readers know just who is their “father.”
Westman says
The persecution of Trump’s supporters that has been demanded by some Democrats could, indeed, create a situation that would bring oppressive government to the US, most likely, under “democrats” with little actual Democracy.
The totalitarian souls of liberals that have been screaming for liberation, are out. If Pelosi is given free reign and Biden backs her rage the US division will be permanent.
If anyone watched Pelosi’s interview with Leslie Stahl, Sunday on 60 minutes, it’s obvious she has a nasty temperament and was upset when called on some of her lies. I was totally surprised that Stahl held Pelosi’s feet to the fire. Pelosi seemed truly shocked when she not admired as the Lord High Inquisitor.
It’s gonna’ be a short honeymoon….’
mortimer says
Agree with Westman. The rhetoric of Biden and Pelosi could not be more divisive!
They extend no olive branch. They have poured vitriol on the fire.
They will eventually encourage their followers to attack Republicans and conservatives and there will be no consequences because their defenders will be silenced by Big Tech.
Big Tech and the Dem Party organizers figured out a way to steal the election.
The truth about the steal will all leak out. The Dems will be shamed by their horrible election theft for decades to come.
mortimer says
https://www.britannica.com/event/Reichstag-fire
Adolf Hitler had secured the chancellorship after the elections of November 1932, but his Nazi Party had not won an overall majority. He therefore obtained Cabinet consent to hold new elections on March 5, 1933. Meanwhile, his propaganda minister, Joseph Goebbels, was supposed to have devised the scheme whereby 10 agents led by Karl Ernst were to gain access to the Reichstag through a tunnel leading from the official residence of Hermann Göring, Reichstag president and Hitler’s chief minister, who was then to conduct an official investigation, which would fix responsibility for the fire on the communists. The supposed arsonist was a Dutchman, Marinus van der Lubbe, whom some have claimed was brought to the scene of the crime by Nazi agents. Others have contended that there was no proof of Nazi complicity in the crime, but that Hitler merely capitalized on van der Lubbe’s independent act. The fire is the subject of continued debate and research.
In the ensuing arson trial, van der Lubbe was convicted of treason; he was executed by guillotine in January 1934. Also tried in connection with the fire were Ernst Torgler, the chairman of the German Communist Party in the Reichstag, and three Bulgarian communists—Simon Popov, Vassili Tanev, and Georgi Dimitrov. Dimitrov in particular won international fame for his fearless and skilled defense against Nazi prosecutors. All four of the accused communists were acquitted because of lack of evidence.
mortimer says
On the other hand, van der Lubbe confessed that he made the fire alone. The Nazis were unlikely to try him if indeed he had been innocent. They would have shot him on the spot and claimed he was ‘trying to escape’. Hitler and his inner circle were apparently shocked to learn that the fire happened.
mortimer says
Biden told his followers to promote healing and turn down the rhetoric. Biden could have used this moment to stop the demonization of Republicans. Instead, he went along with it. Biden blew his biggest chance to turn down the rhetoric.
The Dems have now declared that everyone who supported the president is an enemy of their new DEMSTATE.
It looks like Biden was lying when he claimed he would represent all the people. He just condemned half of Americans.

I was never a fan of his. His central premise was that all religion is bad, and the only silver lining to that was that he was unafraid to call out the evils of islam and hold them to the same standards as other religions. However, that doesn’t detract from the fact that he’s an anti-religious bigot, as opposed to a normal agnostic who just ignores it all (which one can live w/)
James Lincoln says
Pres. Trump’s speech at his rally last Wednesday did not even mention violence – much less provoke or incite it. These are his exact words:
He said, “I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.”
The facts destroy the Leftist narrative.
That being said, in retrospect – making use of an abundance of caution – Pres. Trump should have ended the rally / protest outside the White House on the Ellipse even though the march to the Capital was not in any way illegal. After all, he had already made his many valid points crystal clear…
Westman says
Dems: “Let’s persecute Trump voters!”
Do you like to eat? Do you like a warm home in the winter? Do you want electricity? Want to live in your garbage? Got one of those Star Trek replicators? Know how to repair your car? Want that Starbuck coffee? Which one of you wants to work in the summer heat and feezing winter to raise food? Did you really think it came from the supermarket? Who wants to work in the mines? On the roads? In house construction? Dig some ditches? Repair pipelines? Policing? Drive your life away in a Truck? Play around with high voltage? Bring back the military draft?
Just what do you think would happen if all Trump voters got fed up, organized, and went on strike for a month? They are not some tiny segment of the economy like Flight Controllers. What college educated Dem wants to lose his/her job because the infrastructure of America quit and be forced to be a farm worker? Or any physical laborer?
Maybe Nancy could live out of her ice cream freezer. There must be enough for several months.
The real workers of America do not have an obligation to continue supporting the Left at their own expense. They work out of their love for family and belief in this country; that it’s a land of opportunity and fairness. If Dems want to destroy that belief, they had better learn something beyond pushing paper, programming, teaching anti-Americanism, playing with other people’s money, etc.
Let’s suppose there was a massive earthquake where you live that leveled everything, all roads and infrastructure down. What Democrats in your community would you ask for help? Are you realizing yet that we standing on the shoulders of the very people the Dems wish to persecute? It’s damned insanity..

United kicked out 2 passengers for singing the National Anthem
Infidel says
I saw 2 sections from Alan Dershowitz today, where the question put to him was whether the president can be impeached after he leaves office. The answer is no.
First of all, in the speech, the president called on his supporters to cheer the senators who were doing the right thing: hardly the substance of ‘incitement’. Then Raheem Kassam did an analysis where he pointed out that none of the people who arrived at the Capitol could have listened to the president’s speech, which ended somewhere after 1:00 – the time taken to get from the Ellipse to Capitol Hill would be longer than when they arrived. In other words, the people who were at the Capitol and storming it were not the same people who listened to the president’s speech, regardless of what Ben Sasse or Adam Kinzinger might think
The second thing – the Never Trumpers are now so unhinged that irony is lost on them. On one side is the Lincoln Project, which wants to dox anybody who didn’t follow the examples of Betsy DeVos, Elaine Chao or Mick Mulvaney in instantly resigning in outrage. Fine Lincolnian principles, those! And then there is ex Governator Arnold Schwarzenkennedy (as Melanie Morgan used to call him) comparing this to Kristallnacht. For those who’ve forgotten, this is the same man who lamented that Kurt Waldheim, who was denied a visa due to his Nazi past in the Balkans: he considers Trump supporters Nazis while in the past being friends w/ a real ex-Nazi. And then there are the GOP clowns like Murkowski and Hogan that are demanding that President Trump resign, despite the fact that he’s set to leave next week.
The demand that Pence invoke the 25th Amendment is ridiculous: it’s only done if the president is incapacitated. If he does something criminal, that’s what impeachment and conviction is for. And the reason you do impeachment is to get rid of a president, not sabotage his chances of running again. The last decision is that of the people: we get to decide whether Trump gets to be president again in 2024
I’ve been hearing theories like the one from Rush below that examines why they’re so set on impeachment. Looks like Trump is in the perfect position to declassify a lot of things that would ruin a lot of careers of the swamp creatures, which is why they are lashing out. That actually is a better explanation than the one about preventing him from running again, which would actually not happen, and you cannot vote to remove from office a president who’s no longer there. This whole circus is to do what they can to prevent Trump from exposing some real crimes on his way out

Can you imagine the total destruction and rioting that would have ensued everywhere if Trump “officially” won the election like he really did? Perhaps that’s why the Supreme Court punted so as not to provoke the Democrat paramilitary professional rioters (financed by Soros) from burning down Washington, D.C.
St. Croix says
Could well be. Moral relativity ultimately will bring the ruin, no matter how it’s covered up though, if they did, it will backfire. It will backfire anyway, because this seems to ordinary eyes, commonsense eyes, to have been a corrupted election. No one gets away with fraud and lies on this scale; eventually the piper will be paid, with worse results than if there had been no meddling, “for the better good” or “less evil” as is often used to discuss these tactics.
I’m sounding so gloom and doom these days. I know there will be troubled times ahead, it is inevitable. I mean, there are always troubles. Honest people are hated by those who are not. Ultimately, I have to look to God. Sounds like a pipe dream to many. But in humans there is no hope. We’ve been trying to solve human issues that we ourselves cause, for eons. This is where we arrive: chaos that’s getting deeper.
Okay that’s my sermon for the day! Lol. I pray the truth come out in all of this foolishness and wrongdoing. And for strength to those who speak up and tell the truth, even if they are getting kicked off airlines, de-platformed and harassed. It’s all happened before. As Robert Spencer so eloquently points out in this article.

Well I never thought I’d see this happen in America, but the resemblance to the Nazi party take over of the Reichstag is close. But there is a difference, the American population is well armed and even many Democratic voters won’t go along with the far left. I’ll keep the faith that the American people will be able to control its government.

This may changed with time, but so far, no one has been charged with treason, sedition, insurrection, or attempting a coup.

Uganda has moved to protect the integrity of their elections by blocking facebook and twitter. Yep, you heard that right. Compare that to what has been going on in the USA and file it under, things you thought you would never witness.
Infidel says
tgusa, the funniest thing I read today was Twitter expressing concern about the censorship of ‘free expression’ in Uganda: the irony of the situation totally flew by them. I’d rather be ruled by a President Musaweni (of Uganda, who’s ruled ever since he ousted Idi Amin) than a President Jack Dorsey
tgusa says
“the funniest thing I read today was Twitter expressing concern about the censorship of ‘free expression’ in Uganda”
Yes Infidel, that’s a real riot.
Of course when it comes to election integrity it would be really unfair to compare Uganda to democrat run America.
Infidel says
Actually, as Trump pointed out, the US is now in no position to lecture anybody on holding free and fair elections, since we’ve made a total mockery of our own
tgusa says
Yep. Just as the US courts love to rule, no standing.
And we better watch out because if we were to end up in a military confrontation with Iran China or whomever none of them would attack DC as they have too many allies there. That would be counter productive to the enemies war effort.

hundreds and promising more arrests.
Evidently, the guy who shot…allegedly… Officer Brian Sicknick, was turned in by his ex-wife and has been arrested.

Glenn Beck reports that an Idaho internet provider, a private company, has removed fb and the twit from their platform because those two censored people. Now, fb is suing the internet provider, saying they don’t have the right to block them.
What goes around, comes around.
tgusa says
Uganda recognizes that they are a menace to society and now a part of Idaho. Hooray!
To paraphrase the last line of dialog in the James Cagney movie White Heat; Facebook and twitter, they finally got to the top of the world, and it blew right up in their faces.
“Top o the world Ma!”
somehistory says
Yep, the line fits.
Another site on the Idaho thingy…Epoch Times…said that the guy’s name is Fink and he said that his company got a lot of emails from his customers saying they wanted the two social media companies removed from their account. They didn’t want the sites showing up on their feeds, didn’t want their kids looking at the sites, and some didn’t know how to remove them.
He said that for those customers who still want the sites, they can have them. But, he said he received a lot of requests from his customers.
When I got my last phone, it had fb and a whole slew of companies I had never heard of. I don’t do fb or twit. But, the fb thing kept popping up and seemed to even be making changes to my phone. So, I finally found a way to disable it, but it warned me that if I disabled it, my other settings “might not work,” “properly.”
I’ve had less trouble since I disabled it.
Too much control is not a good thing. It’s like too much power…it corrupts.
tgusa says
I don’t do fb or twit either. Never have. They are both a risk to your privacy and security in your life. I also de-googled my android long ago. People on the internet are asking, can you do that without the settings not working properly? Why yes, you can.
Yohanan Weininger says
Wrong, Reichstag way out analogy. Democrats are not banning non-Democrats. Some so far 6 Republican congressman agree with impeachment proposal. As for Trump’s mob incitement at the wild rally, Spencer’s analysis of speech is selective. Between the lines Trump clearly incited. What does his statement that in these emergency times there are new rules, other rules apply but to go wild and trash the congress with his blessing that it’s ok to break the law. The partisan Horowitz platform limits the jihad reporting commentary… Trump twitter-in-chief over years so many lies led to inciting auto-coup. Trump only lost by ~7 million votes. Well here in Israel we have own set of problems but similar in that our prime minister is a master of disinformation internal politicking. History will have its reckoning. For one thing why does a president use twitter? He has spokespeople and he can call a press conference whenever… Time out from his constant lies.

CNN, BBC, Twitter, Facesbook, Google, NYT, Washingon Post, etc:
Breaking News?
We fix it.
Who are the main sponsors of
The Clinton Foundation,
Obama,
Biden,
Pelosi
Schumer,
Blarney Slanders,
Ilhan Omar
and other unidicted sponsors of Iranian and Jihadi interests?
If you examine the staffing of the BBC, for example, you will find that indigenous British Natives, are hugely outnumbered by Islamic Afghan, Somali, Arab and African presenters and Anchor Persons.
US mass media (and academia) is swamped by extreme leftists, anarchists, Muslim Jihadi supporters, African Americans sympathetic to the lawless freeloaders and illegal and undocumented immigrants.
