January 6 2021 US Capitol Insurrection

Shocking, Disturbing Results: Gloomy Future Awaits Nation!

admin 27 Comments

This author and blogger is stunned by the shocking, disturbing results of the Presidential Election of 2024, and fears that the future of the nation is gloomy under a second term of Donald Trump.

It will take time for me to process the terrible events, so I will write when I feel able to express my deep feelings and thoughts.

I will just say for now that this is the most shocking event to occur, since January 6, 2021; September 11, 2001; and November 22, 1963, in my lifetime.

I wish all my readers peace and solitude, but realize it is hard for any of us to gain that sense of security.

That is all for the time being!

Key Issues For Kamala Harris To Emphasize In Last Week Of Campaign!

admin 6 Comments

Kamala Harris gave a great speech last night at the Ellipse near the White House, the site of the incitement of the January 6, 2021 Insurrection at the US Capitol by Donald Trump, with an estimated crowd of 60,000 people cheering on the Vice President.

It was a well tailored speech, calling for promoting unity and finding common ground, rather than the division and chaos of Donald Trump.

It offered bipartisanship with Republicans, and the promotion of working to overcome the divide that has been promoted by Trump since 2015.

Now, with six days to go until the election, but with many (more than 40 million people) already having voted, the emphasis by Kamala Harris and Tim Walz should be:

Emphasizing a positive view of America and its future, rather than the negativism and division promoted by Donald Trump.

Promotion of women’s right to control their own bodies, and to restore abortion rights.

Promotion of the reality that economic growth has occurred, and that Harris offers improved economic futures for the younger generation through expansion of social programs, including housing, health care, and education advancements.

Reviving the efforts for a bipartisan immigration reform proposal that was negated by Donald Trump, although sponsored by and supported by conservative Republican Senators, along with Democrats.

Importance of retaining our alliances with other nations as essential for the long term defense and political stability of America, as well as the world at large.

The push is on to promote massive increase in voting, particularly by the younger generation Z which has an opportunity to participate in American democracy for the first time for many.

Alarming That Billionaire Owners Of Media Are Staying Neutral On Presidential Endorsements!

admin 9 Comments

An alarming development as the Presidential Election of 2024 nears, is that the billionaire owners of two highly significant and reputable national newspapers have refused to allow their staffs to make an endorsement for President. The Washington Post has had 76 Pulitzer Prizes in its history, and the Los Angeles Times has had more than 40 in its history.

Jeff Bezos of the Washington Post and Patrick Soon-Shiong of the Los Angeles Times have prevented endorsements in the most significant Presidential race since 1940 and 1860. This is billionaire cowardice, kowtowing to the authoritarian threat of Donald Trump!

Their actions, interfering with the editorial board and staff, is causing alarm and provoking resignations, as well as cancellation of subscriptions by readers, as it seems clear that the personal business interests of both men are getting in the way of principles and public safety at a crucial moment in the fight for protection of democracy, the Constitution, and the rule of law!

Additionally, the New York Post, owned by the Rupert Murdoch family, the most despicable newspaper owner imaginable, has decided to endorse Donald Trump, after having backed away from support two years ago after the legal cases against Donald Trump were made clear as a result of the January 6, 2021 US Capitol Insurrection.

New Case Of Prosecutor Jack Smith Against Donald Trump On January 6 Insurrection Meets Supreme Court Challenge!

admin 3 Comments

Prosecutor Jack Smith has gathered plenty of evidence against Donald Trump that seems likely to overcome the restrictions set by the Supreme Court in the case of Trump V US, where the Presidency cannot be held accountable for “official” actions while in office.

Absolute immunity from criminal prosecutions having been granted for “official” actions, the decision required Smith to go back and gather evidence of “unofficial” actions, dealing with the plot of Trump trying to convince Vice President Mike Pence to refuse to accept the electoral votes of the fifty states on January 6.

These “unofficial” actions of a President seeking reelection led to the US Capitol Insurrection on January 6, 2021, which endangered the life of Pence, along with law enforcement officers, including five who died, and 140 such personnel injured.

The evidence now shows that Trump had no concern about the dangers to Pence, proclaiming “So What?”, a shocking new revelation, added to lots of other evidence that, hopefully, can be used to prosecute Trump, as “unofficial” actions, not related to his Presidential duties and responsibilities.

Liz Cheney, Kamala Harris At Ripon, Wisconsin: Birthplace Of Republican Party 170 Years Ago, And Now In Crisis!

admin 13 Comments

Today is a very momentous day, as former Republican Congresswoman Liz Cheney of Wyoming, the daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, is campaigning for Democratic nominee Kamala Harris in Ripon, Wisconsin, the birthplace of the Republican Party in 1854!

Cheney and Harris do not agree much on policy, but Cheney and many other conservatives and Republicans are supporting her election because of the threat posed by Donald Trump’s attempt to return to the White House in the elections next month.

Trump is an existential threat to American democracy, the Constitution, and the rule of law, and Cheney has sacrificed her political career in opposing Trump after the US Capitol Insurrection of January 6, 2021, which caused five deaths of law enforcement officers and injuries to more than 140 other law enforcement personnel.

This is true patriotism in the best sense, and Cheney and many other conservatives and Republicans who are showing principle will be remembered in a positive way in American history for the long run!

23rd Anniversary Of 9/11 Reminds Us Of Urgency Of National Security Credentials As Key Factor In Electing A President!

admin 2 Comments

The day after the ABC Harris-Trump Presidential debate was one of positive feelings about Harris’s performance, but also very sobering, as it was the 23rd anniversary of the September 11 attacks by Al Qaeda and Osama bin Laden.

The two most significant events of the past generation—September 11 and January 6—came into consciousness in everyone’s mind, and how to avoid future threats to national security.

If Donald Trump comes back to the Presidency, the nation will be endangered, since Trump is subject to flattery and manipulation by authoritan leaders, who he wishes to emulate.

Trump is unwilling to back Ukraine against Vladimir Putin, and the NATO alliance will be in tatters if he is Commander in Chief, and will put America in harm’s way for the future!

Tulsi Gabbard, Another True “Loser” Former Democrat, Backs Trump!

admin Leave a comment

This week has seen two former Democrats, who are true “losers”, come out and endorse Donald Trump, and are both part of his “transition team”, a fantasy that Donald Trump will be inaugurated the 47th President.

First, it was Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who has gone off the rails mentally, and has embarrassed his mother and siblings and other Kennedy family members, by his lunatic behavior in the past few years.

Now it is former Hawaii Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard (2013-2021), who also was a Democratic Presidential contender in 2020, before leaving the party, becoming an independent, and tying her future to Donald Trump, despite the January 6, 2021 US Capitol Insurrection.

Gabbard clearly has “gone off the rails” like RFK Jr, a sad commentary on what had been a promising career.

Gabbard embraced the Syrian government of Bashar al-Assad despite his brutal ten years and longer civil war and use of chemical weapons, and also has opposed support of Ukraine in its war against Russia, which invaded in February 2022.

She has conserted with conservative activists, including Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity, and involved herself in the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) and has been on Fox News on a regular basis. She also, openly, campaigned to be Trump’s Vice Presidential running mate, an embarrassment to anyone paying attention to her antics.

Gabbard’s extreme isolationist stances are out of tune and common sense, as she shares the admiration of Donald Trump for Vladimir Putin, failing to see the threat of Russia to NATO if Ukraine’s government falls to Russian aggression!

Dangers To American Democracy: Elon Musk, Donald Trump, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

admin 31 Comments

It is more clear than ever that the major dangers to American democracy are Elon Musk, the owner of X (Twitter); Donald Trump; and Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Musk is spending massive amounts of money backing Trump’s bid to go back to the White House, and is promoting as much publicity as possible to support a man who tried to overthrow the US government on January 6, 2021.

And it is clear that mentally, both Trump and RFK Jr are unstable figures who would endanger the stability of America domestically and in foreign affairs.

RFK Jr. has only been able to make it to the ballot in 15 states so far, but may end up on most state ballots, and there are people who without rhyme or reason will vote for him. The danger is if RFK Jr. is on the ballot in “battleground” states, that could tip the balance in the Electoral College! And if he is not on other state ballots, those annoyed by that reality might vote for Trump, who would have gone to Kennedy, otherwise.

So these three individuals are “a clear and present danger”, who yet could determine the future of the nation!

50 Years Since Richard Nixon Resignation In Watergate Scandal!

admin Leave a comment

It has been a full half century since President Richard Nixon resigned, due to the Watergate Scandal, and the clear abandonment of his Republican Party in the House of Representatives and Senate to support him in his quest to avoid an impeachment and conviction.

Now, a half century later, we have a former President who is far worse than Richard Nixon, with far fewer accomplishments, and facing the likelihood of being incarcerated in Federal prison for his crimes on January 6, 2021, when he incited the US Capitol Insurrection.

Trump is desperately attempting to come back to the Oval Office, and his party has sold its soul, with most Republicans bending the knee to him, despite his massive corruption, two impeachments, four indictments and 34 convictions so far.

Even Richard Nixon, were he alive, would be astounded by the massive crimes and sins of Donald Trump!

Many “Republicans Against Trump” Are Starting To Move Toward Open Support Of Kamala Harris!

admin 10 Comments

An active and engaged group that is gaining notice in the Presidential campaign of 2024 are those known as “Republicans Against Trump”, which includes many former Trump administration Cabinet members, and many in the intelligence, defense,state and justice department communities.

And now, former elected officials are openly endorsing and announcing they will vote for Kamala Harris in November.

So far, it includes Geoff Duncan, former Georgia Lieutenant Governor; former Virginia Representative Denver Riggleman; and former Illinois Congressman Adam Kinzinger, who was a crucial member of the January 6 committee that investigated the attack on the US Capitol.

And the multitude of others who are against Trump are seen, in many cases, likely to announce eventually that they will vote for Harris.

They would say that it was urgent to do so, while reserving right to be critical of government policies in the future under a President Harris.
