This rioting in the street has to stop – NOW!

There were three things happening today and two of them were expected to be horrible for the future of the United States of America.
1. The Senate runoff elections in Georgia.
2. The certifying of the 2020 Presidential election via Congressional acceptance of the electoral college results.
3. A rally of Trump supporters as a show of support for a formal review of the 2020 election results and potential fraud.

What should have been a footnote on this day, Trump’s ‘Save America March’ in DC, turned out to be historic and the worst thing that happened today.

The Senate run off in Georgia went to the 2 Democrat candidates, which will end up being the beginning of the end of America. The certification of electoral results was interrupted, apparently by Trump supporters, who stormed and breached the Capitol building. This was worse.

Some random observations about the events of this day.

While this type of street rioting is happening in this country with frustrating regularity, this one is extremely unusual for many reasons. Not the least of which is the historic breach of the Capitol building, which has not happened since 1814 when the British burned the building during the War of 1812. Also, left wing Democrats are known for violent protests and riots on a regular basis, but not Republicans. The Republican moral high ground on this subject has been lost to the radical, anti-American mobs we are used to seeing do these things. This, if it was in fact perpetrated by Republicans, is shocking and heartbreaking.

We assume these were Trump supporters, but there are rumors that would indicate it may not have been. It was announced before the crowd arrived in DC, that some on social media, antifa, BLM and others, had been saying they were going to dress like the Trump supporters and infiltrate the crowds to create chaos and riots. Whether this happened or not we will probably never know. It happens a lot and we never really get it reported clearly.

Look at the size of the Trump rally crowd and the size of the groups inside the Capitol, certainly the vast majority were outside.

And, I have to ask, have you seen a Trump rally or Trump supporters marching that didn’t include counter-protestors agitating & starting fights? No. So, where were they tonight? Inside the crowd, maybe? Don’t know.

Not trying to make excuses, but whomever it was that breached the Capitol today, this needs to stop! Investigating this event today is now just as important as investigating the results and potential fraud of the election. Because if what we think is happening in this country, and this riot was a calculated part of it, then it MUST be exposed for what it is and what it was not.

It is important to note that having the volume of evidence which exists to support rampant fraud in this election, especially since the results of this election have such catastrophic impact on the future of the country, and to have no one feel it important enough to investigate is galling to millions of the voting base. This is not an excuse or justification, but remember how the media spent months justifying riots & ‘peaceful protests’ while they burned a church, a federal building, destroyed historical monuments, took over parts of cities and painted the streets – for weeks. These were justified by the Democrats & media as being for a just cause. A stolen election then is not a just cause? In truth, there has been no just cause for such action in either case.

This was not a coup or insurrection as again the media is breathlessly repeating. That is political narrative. However, Trump’s speech and leading the march to the Capitol presents a negative image which is hard to ignore or support. Again, remember the congresspeople who spoke at riots during the summer and marched with rioters who then got violent during the night. Don’t just accept the media narrative that this is just Trump trying to take over the country. There is an ongoing attempt to take over the country, this wasn’t it.

Still, everything that has been accomplished to return the country to its greatness has been lost tonight. In the Senate runoff, in the certification of a questioned election, in a heartbreaking scene at the Capitol.

On this point of unequal treatment:
– DC mayor, Muriel Bowser, comes out for law and order which she didn’t during weeks of riots this summer.
– Left wing media happily calling these ‘mobs & riots’ when they refused to call the summer BLM protests mobs and riots.
– Republican politicians and media personalities are saddened and accepting of the fact that these appear to be Republicans doing this and condemn this riot.
– Democrats refused to condemn the violence of their supporters this summer.

Everyone is looking for the truth in politics and we can’t find it. Everyone has their own version of the truth fed to them by biased media. If we can’t trust the organization we expect to give us fact and perspective on issues, when we can’t get the truth from the media, it naturally becomes divisive. The media blames their political enemy. Where do they think this is going to end?

Be aware of the double standard of the Democrats and the media.

You can’t act like the Dems and their supporters act and expect to get away with it. That day has passed. Media is biased and reporting is not fair. It is tilted to find a way to make conservative Republicans look as bad as possible and cover for Democrats. There are hundreds of examples, but this one seems to me to be the best representation of this double standard, call the ‘riots’ protests even while standing in front of a fiery scene, and conducted for a just cause.

. Even after continuing for weeks across the country and taking over cities, these were ‘peaceful protests’ during the ‘summer of love’. When it was reported at all. Yet this one afternoon gets labeled violent riots immediately.

People are saying that the DC and Capitol police failed, and they did. But, think about it. When the BLM and Dem protestors show up somewhere, anything can happen and the police are visible. When Republicans show up, they rally and go home. What do you need high levels of police presence for?

Today they did.

And interesting to note, those in Congress and the Democrat party who are interested in ‘defunding the police’, all of a sudden want to criticize police for not being there when they needed them. Who knew?

It is time for moderate Democrats & moderate Republicans to join together against the extremists in our country. An first among those extremists is the national media. Re-create the United States of America.
