It is all theatrics but the aim is to place an historical asterisk next to the name of the most successful yet most reviled (by his enemies) President of my lifetime: House impeaches Trump a second time.

Suppose there was no Antifa involvement whatsoever in the attack on the Capitol in Washington, how much reporting of such involvement would end up in the media? Why none at all. Now suppose the entire attack had been organised and co-ordinated by Antifa and their allies, how much of that would show up in the media? Funny enough, it would be exactly the same, there would be no reporting of any such involvement at all. The video above is from “Antifa Clearly Led the Attack. That Was Utterly Obvious.”

Yet we already knew that Anitfa had been there, if from nothing else other than the video of the woman being shot to death which was taken by a known member of Antifa. And everyone on our side is perfectly aware that the so-called “riot” had not been instigated by the President, nor had been supported by him.

The left nevertheless continue its relentless attack on truth, of which they care nothing about at all, to implant this memory, in the same way the have made Joe McCarthy their standard for political evil even though everything McCarthy said about communist infiltration into the American State Department turned out to be 100% true. So the riot at the Capitol will enter into that same kind of historical record where the lies that are being spread at every turn by the left and their allies becomes the only “truth” they will be willing to acknowledge.

Yet this is a particularly interesting statistic of the moment: The vast majority of Trump supporters would still vote for Trump if the election were held today.

Despite their criticism of his conduct since November 3rd and last week, 𝟵𝟭% of Trump voters say they’d still vote for him if another presidential election were held today,” Luntz said on his official social media account. Another 4% said they would switch their vote to President-elect Joe Biden, 3% said they would vote for someone else or write in someone else, and 2% said they wouldn’t vote at all.

The question that was not asked was how many of those who voted for Biden would have voted for him had they known then what they know now. The Trump majority in actual votes cast would have been even larger. In this post by the great Jack Cashill, he points out:

With his back to the wall, Trump rallied the last bulwark against this encroaching tyranny, the American people. In so doing, he showed the comically obvious hypocrisy of the Left’s support for “largely peaceful” protests. Although events this past week did not appear to work out as we might have liked, appearances can be deceiving. There were lessons learned, eyes opened. It seems somehow providential that the people’s protest at the “People’s House” occurred on the Epiphany.

There are only around 74 million voters who know they have been cheated. These things will continue to matter. But on this one issue of eradicating Donald Trump from the record, both the Democrats and the Republicans are apparently united.

Fascism was socialism restricted to the confines of a single national state, compared with classical Marxism which was supposed to be international, as in “workers of the world unite” etc. This is from Instapundit.

THEY’RE POWERFUL. THEY’RE NOT NECESSARILY SMART, AND THEY’RE CERTAINLY NOT WISE:

Those who think they like this new censorship really need to step back and take the long view. Conspiracy theories about taking down Donald Trump will go on for 100 years. All of these efforts at suppression will be woven and rewoven into these theories. Driving the theories off the front pages of social media will make them wilder and crazier, and we won’t be able to see them or argue with them. How many millions of serious devotees does Trump have? What will they do now? Why is depriving them of their Twitter connection a wholesome curative?

When you have the leaders of business implementing the political agenda of a political party against its opposition, that’s the definition of fascism.

The corporate state as it is otherwise known. Not that it will do you much good to know the kind of political entity the United States has become, but it is nevertheless useful to know.

BTW go to the story at the link and then read the comments.

Was the non-riot on the Capitol staged by Antifa? Sounds plausible. We on the right are some of the stupidest political tacticians found anywhere. Will start with a post from Instapundit with the ones to follow picked up at Lucianne.com.

HMM: Worrisome Signs the Capitol Breach was Planned to Discredit Trump Supporters: An Eyewitness Account. Related: Actions by Police Before Trump Supporters Attacked Capitol Backfired Spectacularly: Federal and local law enforcement say they underestimated threat posed to Congress, despite evidence of plans online. “Policing tactics in the U.S. have changed in the seven months since George Floyd was killed by Minneapolis police, sparking nationwide protests last year. In Portland, Ore., months of nightly demonstrations escalated after President Trump sent in federal agents to protect a federal courthouse. In a letter to federal officials on Monday, Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser urged federal law enforcement to maintain a light footprint for Wednesday’s protests, seeking to avoid the type of show of force that had inflamed tense situations in the city last year.” To be fair to law enforcement here, Trump protests have traditionally been very orderly and well-behaved.

January 6, 2020, a Day that Will Live in Political Infamy American Thinker, by Steve McCann – Original Article – I attended the “Million MAGA March” on January 6, along with the Mainstreet Patriots chapter of the Eastern Shore of Maryland. (Snip) As we were able to position ourselves within 75 yards of the entrance [to the Capitol], we noticed that among a large cadre of what appeared to be young Trump supporters there were many frankly stereotypical Antifa-looking militants waving Trump flags on the steps attempting to get to the doors as the useless barriers of portable and plastic fencing had been easily breached. These militants were at the entrance area before Trump’s speech at the Ellipse (two miles away) was finished.

Left’s Hypocrisy On Full Display After D.C. ‘Insurrection’Issues & Insights, by The Editorial Board Original Article The angry election fraud protest that led to the temporary takeover of the U.S. Capitol Wednesday perfectly illuminates the hypocrisy of the Democratic far left when it comes to political violence. Republican officials and rank-and-file GOP conservatives immediately and forcefully condemned the pro-Trump rioters. Nothing unusual about that: During this riot-torn year, Republicans have consistently, loudly and frequently denounced violence, no matter who did it. What about the Democrats and their extreme-left supporters? Tragically, for them, violence is always acceptable when it’s in service to their cause. That’s especially true since the riots and mass protests began in late May

Here Comes the Crackdown Red State, by Nick Arama Original Article After the Capitol protest/riot occurred, I said to my colleagues the folks on the left will use it to go after President Donald Trump, Republicans and Trump supporters in general. They will use it to justify a crack down on social media and other arenas. That’s already coming to pass and it only happened yesterday. They’re calling to ban anyone who went into the building from plane travel. From Washington Examiner: “Given the heinous domestic terrorist attack on the U.S. Capitol yesterday, I am urging the Transportation Security Administration and the Federal Bureau of Investigation to use their authorities to add the names

Trump Supporters Take Stock of Jan. 6, Feel Mischaracterized by Media Epoch Times, by Charlotte Cuthbertson Original Article WASHINGTON—Empty streets and a subdued atmosphere characterized Washington on Jan. 7 as Trump supporters processed the events of the previous day and the certification of the Electoral College votes by Congress overnight. (Snip) Marine veteran Tony Good traveled from Florida and walked to the Ellipse to hear President Donald Trump speak in the morning. He said Trump didn’t incite violence in his speech.“No, absolutely not. There’s a line between inciting to riot and standing on convictions,” Good told The Epoch Times. “He wasn’t telling anybody to riot, he was just telling them it’s our right to protest. That’s a right we have in America.”

Michelle Obama chastises ‘infantile and unpatriotic’ Trump over Capitol riots NBC News, by Randi Richardson Original Article Michelle Obama chastised President Donald Trump over Wednesday’s riots at the Capitol, calling him “infantile and unpatriotic” before delivering an emotional critique of how police responded to the mob as compared to this summer’s Black Lives Matter protests. In a statement posted to social media on Thursday, the former first lady said the riots were a “fulfillment of the wishes of an infantile and unpatriotic president who can’t handle the truth of his own failures.” Trump supporters descended on the Capitol on Wednesday after the president delivered a speech at a rally against the election results, falsely claiming

We Ain’t Going To Submit and We Won’t Forget Gateway Pundit, by Larry Johnson Original Article After four years of a sustained coup attempt to destroy the Presidency of Donald Trump, the Washington establishment now wants us, the deplorables, to sit down, shut up and accept a steal. Here’s a news flash. We will not. This is no longer about ensuring that Donald Trump, who won the election, remains as President. The issue is more profound. It is the preservation of our Republic and a demand for genuine accountability and fairness.As I listen to the howls of faux outrage by a plethora of Democrat, Republican, media and Silicon Valley tech giants condemning any Trump supporter who dares speak out to challenge the election fraud

ABC News: ‘Getting Rid of Trump Easy Part’; ‘Cleansing’ America of ‘Movement He
Commands’ Something Else Red State, by Mike Miller Original Article In the aftermath of the pro-Trump siege of the U.S. Capitol Building on Wednesday, ABC News Political Director Rick Klein is calling for a “cleansing” of the Trump “movement,” across America. Getting rid of Trump “is the easy part,” Klien tweeted; getting rid of the movement Trump “commands” is another. “Trump will be an ex-president in 13 days. The fact is that getting rid of Trump is the easy part. Cleansing the movement he commands is going to be something else.” “Cleansing the movement”? Just me, or does that sound a tad too close to “cleansing” Adolf Hitler and the Nazis from post-WWII Germany? The following tweet became “unavailable”

‘Mr. Bean’ Star Rowan Atkinson Compares Cancel Culture to a ‘Medieval Mob Looking for Someone to Burn’ Breitbart, by Hannah Bleau Original Article British actor Rowan Atkinson veered from the leftist views embraced by the bulk of those in the entertainment industry and ripped into cancel culture, describing it as the “digital equivalent of the medieval mob roaming the streets looking for someone to burn.” “The problem we have online is that an algorithm decides what we want to see, which ends up creating a simplistic, binary view of society,” the Mr. Bean actor said in an interview with the U.K.’s Radio Times. “It becomes a case of either you’re with us or against us. And if you’re against us, you deserve to be ‘canceled.’”

Victory over Donald Day, that is. And how LIQ does glory in his Beta-male soy-boy triumph: Biggest Loser he calls the President. I have combed through his post, and the comments of all those who take the same side, and have yet to find an argument. It is true that Donald Trump will not be President at the end of this month and Joe Biden will be. Why that is a good thing has yet to be explained, and so far as I can tell, cannot be explained unless;

• the aim is for America to sign the Paris Accords
• the aim is for Iran to have nuclear weapons
• the aim is to make wearing masks a permanent feature across the United States
• the aim is to wreck small business
• the aim is to create a permanent underclass of unemployed welfare recipients.

I’m sure there are other reasons I am missing, but these will do for now.

The one certainty I have is that the President did not wish to see anyone invading Capitol Hill. And there is mounting evidence that it was Antifa that led that particular charge, as  in this: Former FBI Agent on the Ground at US Capitol Says at Least One Bus Load of Antifa Thugs Infiltrated Trump Demonstration. I can imagine that this was something that the media-Democrat alliance would have been happy to see, which is why it is actually reported in the press and on the news.

If it is really true that an Antifa leader really did take the photo of the one fatality in the protest inside the Capitol – Why Was Founder Of Far-Left BLM Group Filming Inside Capitol As Police Shot Protester? – then the issue is settled. But to be honest, it doesn’t matter at all if it was entirely a pro-Trump  crowd inside the building. They were not sent there by the President.

So now we have VD Day, where these toxic fools can revel in their triumph over good policy, personal freedom and the American Constitution. They really are toxic imbeciles with not an argument available other than the wish to have power in their hands so that the Hunter Bidens and Hillary Clintons of the world can profit at our expense. As for policy, these people have not a thing to add to the debate.
