  1. Professor Turley None of this excuses the outrageous riot that occurred on that terrible day.

    50 Secret Service agents wounded outside White House, car bombs feared; official says Trump was taken to bunker

    Meanwhile, J1 as compared to J6, has never spurred the same levels of outrage from either Professor Turley, or the exact same FBI Directors and federal prosecutors. Several days – not just hours – of the Democrats’ street thugs assaulting Capitol Police and Secret Service lines and officers with Molotov Cocktails and other lethal weapons. Repeated assaults over days in order to breach their lines for that violent mob to get their hands on President Trump and his family just isn’t the same. Not with that same J6 DoJ, the same FBI – or with Professor Turley observing and writing columns.

    Well, if all of them decide they won’t give the days of J1 and those unindicted felons the attention they eagerly gave to the three hours of J6 – then it never happened!

    Or maybe they were mostly peaceful tourists wanting a selfie with the president and his family… not really bad enough to be repeatedly written about as outrageous or a black stain on our history.

      1. You writing a comic book? When you publishing?

        Did you get a participation badge for showing up for J1 two days in a row to throw Molotov Cocktails? Did your mommy sew it on those black man-jammies your mommy made for you to wear as your combat uniform?

        You were far more entertaining before you escaped the Democrat circus where the ringmaster had you perched on a stool clapping your flippers and barking on command while balancing a beach ball on your nose.

        Sealioning:
        Sealioning is a form of adolescent trolling where someone persistently demands answers to insincere questions to provoke a response, often pretending to seek a civil debate while actually trying to exhaust or frustrate others with no intention of real discourse. This behavior is characterized by a facade of politeness and a refusal to acknowledge previous answers. Often used as a tactic by whining Democrats in online forums and blogs

        1. Hey Jack—, you writing a comic book? When you publishing?

          Why not take it over to the communist party blog?

        2. Big jack—, you writing a comic book? When you publishing?

          Why not take it over to the communist party blog?

        3. It’s the same “sealioning” hyperbole every day out of this clownshow. Go get your own blog.

          “Secret Service agents wounded outside White House, car bombs feared; official says Trump was taken to bunker”

          Numerous Secret Service agents were injured, fires set by rioters blazed near the White House and authorities were searching for car bombs late Sunday as protests over the death of George Floyd continued to roil the capital just two days after President Trump had to be taken to a bunker for his safety.

  2. Since most on this post seem to support Law & Order.

    America’s top law enforcement officer – Pam Bondi – was legally mandated (not optional) to release 100% of the Epstein files on December 19, 2025.

    Do you Law & Order types think a federal judge should fine Bondi $10,000 per day (from her personal funds) for refusing to comply with federal law? Why should taxpayers pay for law breaking when it’s unofficial duties not protected under sovereign immunity? Should the Florida Bar Association revoke Bondi’s certification to practice law, since she refuses to follow laws?

    As of today Bondi has only complied with 1% of the legal mandate.

    1. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries

      The whining, sniveling and crying isn’t coming from the judge who made that order. If he wasn’t happy with the progress, he’d have the DoJ back in court. The wailing is coming from desperate Bolshevik Biden types who think that THEY can hopefully find something about Trump that Biden’s puppeteers missed.

      Since most here are rational adults who recognize these things called “context” and “nuance” exist. There are over TWO MILLION documents to be released – and the same judge who ordered them released also directed the government to first redact all personal information from each one of those documents.

      And the responding question should be: do Bolshevik Biden types think taxpayers should demand Pelosi, Hakeem Jeffries, Benny Thompson, Liz Cheney et al should be indicted for the deliberate destruction of J6 Committee evidence?

      Your move, Tovarisch…

  3. Raskin and his fascist cronies should be removedfrom the committee using the Pelosi Rule, and the hearings be allowed to continue as normal.

  4. I had a recent opportunity to watch the cable news outlets. I saw very pro-Trump on one, and very anti-Trump on another. This discussion of J6 seems similar. Perhaps not by legal statue, but J6 certainly complied with a layman’s understanding of insurrection, especially breaking into the building. Minneapolis on the other hand, again to a layman, seems like protest…But Trump is threatening to use the Insurrection Clause to send more troops?

    1. Sorry, still wrestling with the comment procedures here, and the gate keeping.I sent the 10:25 comment. Michael Molovinsky

    2. You obviously have not been following the flaming riots in Minneapolis. That’s more than a layman’s “protest.” That’s criminal chaos.

      1. Criminal? Gotta arrest and convict to make it criminal. And who’s gonna do that? ICE? The protestors are flaunting all federal laws. And they’ll do again and again. And Trump can’t stop them.

        1. You mean like this, Got Him: Arrest Made in Brazen Alleged Theft of FBI Rifle That Happened During MN Anti-ICE Riot
          I am pleased to confirm the ATF and DOJ executed an ARREST WARRANT for the man I caught on video stealing an FBI rifle out of a car during the Minneapolis riots last night

          1. Now they need to arrest that Black panther idiot running around with a long gun threatening to blow a hole through an ICE agent’s chest and the Kappernick look alike telling people to arm up and shoot.

    3. This discussion of J6 seems similar. Perhaps not by legal statue, but J6 certainly complied with a layman’s understanding of insurrection, especially breaking into the building.

      It seems most likely the “layman” you’re attempting to serve as spokesman for are your fellow Democrats who get their reality and legal definitions from years of watching CNN and that Democrat propaganda cabal assuring them that J6 was indeed an actual insurrection?

      Repeatedly doing that for years, despite the FBI’s findings that they announced to all Americans that it wasn’t?

      The same CNN and Mainstream Media who previously assured those laymen of yours that the fictional and felonious Clinton/Obama “Trump-Russia Dossier” met a layman’s understanding of Treason?

      That is – if had actually been the truth rather than a fictional and felonious document written by a Russian spy that Clinton, Obama, and then their FBI illegally hired?

      Remember any of that, Spokesman For America’s Laymen?

      Are these laymen you’re speaking on behalf of the close personal friends of a Democrat or Code Pink or Never Trumper, one of those fraudulent “conservatives”?

      This “layman understanding” seems as Deep Fake as our new resident conservative and Second Amendment advocate for the Clinton/Kelly version of a Democrat neutered Second Amendment.

      This you Mikey, of michael molovinsky says: and the similar Deep Fake conservative blog?

      Yes, you’re no harder to recognize when posting as Anonymous as your fellow traveler X (and myself when I drag you two out in the open).

  5. When you compare the January 6 coup attempt to a Trump manufactured crisis in Minnesota. Are Trump supporters crazy?

    On January 6, the goal was to steal election from millions of American voters.

    In Minnesota, the state governor never invited the federal government in to their state and the goal wasn’t to steal an election. Trump’s poorly trained ICE officers manufactured the entire thing.

    Now Trump is threatening to enact the Insurrection Act.

    In American law it actually matters to judges who broke the law first (chronology of law breaking). Trump’s ICE officers didn’t have judicial warrants in hand looking for specific individuals. Trump’s officials were going door-to-door (without judicial warrants) similar to 18th Century “General Warrants” – which created the Declaration of Independence, then started the American Revolutionary War and created the American Bill of Rights (4th Amendment).

    Trump’s unconstitutional illegal fishing expedition (without judicial warrants) is targeting only about 5% violent criminals and 95% blue-collar workers that wake up every morning at 5:00am (or earlier) to perform America’s dirtiest and most dangerous jobs. So no need whatsoever for heavily armed agents wearing masks to catch guys at Home Depot working 10-12 hour days.

    Tom Holman and Kristi Noem won’t tell you that ICE agents broke the law first and manufactured this entire situation – without permission from the state governors.

        1. Cornell doesn’t write the laws. Check US Code. SF.

          The U.S.C. which that linked page at Cornell is a copy of – and which you didn’t bother checking to confirm. But perhaps you suffer from X’s favorite issue: reading comprehension. You could at least give Trump a thumbs up for lowering the price of gas in order for you be make your welfare check go further as you buy the fuel for your hobby here.

          Gaslighting
          Gaslighting is the intended psychological manipulation by a low-IQ perpetrator targeting those they hope to victimize through intentionally misleading that person or group. This involves the perpetrator trivializing, lying, denying events, and other methods used in the hope their intended victims doubt their perceptions of reality, memories, and feel overly emotional or irrational.

          The main five methods of gaslighting that may be used alone or in conjunction with others are: trivializing, countering, lying, blame shifting, and withholding.

    1. Anon
      There is no such thing as a sanctuary city or state. The federal government is responsible legally to enforce immigration laws as prescribed by established federal law. Any EO or command by a prior President or Governor to NOT enforce immigration law is meaningless. If a person aides, obstructs or interferes with a federal law enforcement officer in fulfilling his duty to legally enforce immigration law, they themselves are subject to arrest. Simple as that, I can’t believe they haven’t arrested Frey, Walz or Omar in this matter yet, patience is golden they say.
      A Giant shout out to ICE, Keep up the great work!

    2. When you compare the January 6 coup attempt to a Trump manufactured crisis in Minnesota. Are Trump supporters crazy?

      Are Biden’s supporters who tried to murder Trump and his family in the White House six months earlier also crazy enough to believe normal Americans will accept their claims their assault on the White House was “mostly peaceful protest”? They hope we believe they simply wanted to take a selfie with Don, that’s it???

    3. Trump’s unconstitutional illegal fishing expedition (without judicial warrants)

      We might believe either your supposed legal expertise, or that you have an actual moral issue. BUT… you’ve never stopped defending and gloating over the multiple times Obama ordered his last two Attorney Generals and three FBI Directors to perjure themselves in Judge Boasberg’s FISA court to obtain FISA spy warrants. Perjuring themselves in order to use the fictional and felonious “Trump-Russia Dossier” he and Clinton illegally hired and paid a Russian spy to write in order to get unconstitutional and illegal spy warrants. Warrants then used to criminally deprive thousands of Americans of their civil rights by color of law.

      Here’s your chance to build some credibility! Refer us back to all your similar protests about the Obama/Comey “Trump-Russia Dossier” illegal fishing expeditions. Or Biden/Jack Smith “Arctic Frosts” warrants – columns here about that have been here in recent weeks. You can even call a Democrat friend who can help you do that.

      One more Cheap Fake Democrat American fraud, frantically doing the Marxist virtue signalling fan dance. Your move, Tovarisch…

  6. Meanwhile, to support this idea, Democrats in Virginia – who, as of now, control all statewide offices and the legislature – have put forward a constitutional amendment requiring all public school teachers to teach that January 6 was a violent insurrection, with no dissenting opinions allowed. Students can’t debate the issue or write a paper supporting a different viewpoint.

    1. That’s great, he’ll put up next to his Nobel Peace Prize. Bet your guy hasn’t got one eh? Just some stupid laptop with his kid doing porn.

  7. “Orange Man Bad” is all they have left in their arsenal. Cracking down on graft, grift, corruption and plain theft by DOGE seems to have put a big hurt on their pocket book.

    1. “Orange Man Bad” and its still effective marketing. Worldwide no less.
      As for the bucks, it will never ever be recovered; its in the worldwide liberal ecosystem doing its job of destabilizing the world.

      1. You have a good grasp of the totality of this but I want to hold on to the hope that there are enough smart people (including the newly awakened ultra-rich like those in California who are packing their bags and leaving) to see that this is an utter black hole if it is not stopped at the event horizon.

  8. “imagine being a democrat where you can commit crimes daily and nothing happens?”

    No imagination required, the governments of MN, CA, . . . are not only declaring their support for the Brown Shirts to attack, but providing assurance they will be protected or exonerated if they do so (as we saw in the summer of the “Floyd” riots). The governor (Walz), Mayor (Frey), AG (Ellison), Rep. Ilhan Omar(D-MN), House Minority Leader (Jeffries), Cory Booker(D-NJ), . . . are all encouraging training attendance and participation of the new Bier Hall Putsch provided by Monarca, States at the Core(STAC), “As ICE ramps up under Trump 2.0, a scrappy movement of techies is creating real-time tools to resist” — SLATE, . . . . .

  9. When will there be an article titled “Trump Administration fights to keep the ‘stolen election myth’ alive”?

    1. Klaus,
      I think there is one, it’s in the fiction section of the Obama Biden books for a million store. I think it’s author is prior Weatherman and anarchist Bill Ayers.

    2. Klaus Kastner tried this When will there be an article titled “Trump Administration fights to keep the ‘stolen election myth’ alive”?

      When will Klaus and his fellow police state fascist Democrats admit that Obama and his illegally paying a Russian spy and use of the “Trump-Russia Dossier” was a felonious criminal enterprise? First attempting to steal the 2016 election for his fellow unindicted felon Hillary Clinton. And after that failed, attempt to destroy Trump’s presidency.

      Your move, Tovarisch Klaus… don’t just do the Democrat Drop A Deuce To Deflect And Disappear… we’re waiting…

    3. When will there be an article titled “Biden Puppeteers Admit Their Defensive Claim “This was the fairest and most transparent election ever” Is BullSchiff”

      Klause! You should be all over that sick puppy!!!!

    4. It’s interesting that a simple question about media framing triggered so many personal insults and cockroach metaphors. If the idea of my suggested headline is so ‘fictional,’ it should be easy to explain why without the name-calling, shouldn’t it?”

      1. Now Klaus
        I didn’t call you names nor did I equate you to a cockroach. I merely provided a simple inference for you to consider. The Clinton-Obama-Biden book scam (Books for a Million) and brought to your attention the kind of people that surround Obama as the highest order of Democratic ghost authors and liberal educators…pardoned domestic terrorists.

        Icht haben gross shlonga 🤔

        1. Prey, what does your comment have to do with my suggested headline “Trump Administration fights to keep the ‘stolen election myth’ alive”?

  10. As usual, it is madness from the left. Trump asked people to be peaceful and the evidence is there for anyone to see. Meanwhile in MN, we have, ‘We are at war with the Federal government.’, and, ‘We are a sovereign state.’, and, ‘We will prosecute Federal officers.’, also for anyone to see.

    Really: the modern democratic party is a skunk that’s been flattened on the roadside; the stink will not go away, and the skunk will not be brought back to life. A skunk is a carrion predator that is still toxic even when it’s dead.

    This is all sheer insanity. Unprecedented in modern times. I do not know how these people sleep at night.

    1. And still they dominate the news cycle with their outrageous headlines. What do you think the electorate is going to believe, the low key reporter or the screaming crazy one? Voters are stupid animals, easily coerced with bombastic headlines..

      1. Most Americans read the BS headlines from MSM and roll our eyes and switch MSM off. After years of being lied to, gaslighted, we do not believe bombastic headlines. And it shows in MSM ratings/subscriptions. Food Network and the cartoon channel have more viewers in the same time slots.

    2. James,
      It is all they have. Stupid and crazy. They lost. They keep losing. It appears to be driving them mad.

    3. James
      I don’t know how these people sleep at night….

      Typically several ways:

      A. Mostly with other people’s wives or husbands or children.
      B. During daylight hours in a coffin on a layer of ancestral earth.
      C. Hanging upside down from a rafter
      D. Curled tightly under a rock

      I hope that helps my old friend!

  11. So here we are again. A hearing with no legal power, no criminal authority, and no new facts, just recycled rhetoric. When “insurrection” becomes a word elastic enough to mean “whatever Raskin needs it to mean today,” it stops being law and turns into theater. The irony is that the more this goes on, the clearer it becomes that this isn’t about accountability at all. It’s about performance, and Rep. Raskin is willingly playing the part of a constitutional expert who forgot to check the actual statute.

    1. ” it stops being law and turns into theater. ” That’s exactly what it is all about. Make headlines no matter what. Trump does it all the time, but thats different huh? Do you think schmucks watch cnet for entertainment?

      1. Headlines? Anyone with any degree of reason, commons sense, does not watch/read/believe MSM. The ones that do are the schmucks. The rest of us, and the majority of Americans, switched them off. It reflects in their ratings.

    2. OLLY,
      Well, the first Jan6th committee was a circus show, with TV producer, carefully written scripts, carefully (cough, Pelosi, cough) selected committee members. Leave it to Raskin to keep the circus going.

    3. Olly says: “A hearing with no legal power, no criminal authority, and no new facts, just recycled rhetoric.”

      Clearly, its knowingly and deliberately dismissive to attempt the specious claim that they do not have any legal power to hold these hearings. Does that also apply to every other hearing held in the House? Or just this specific one because… you don’t agree with it?

      And you have already determined that there are actually no new facts that will be revealed – hearings haven’t really started yet, but you have insider knowledge there is nothing new here?

      While they have no criminal authority, they can’t refer people to the DoJ for criminal prosecution? Precisely how people from the first Trump Administration were referred, prosecuted, convicted and sentenced. Or would you have been more accurate to say “Well, I don’t want any further House Committee referrals resulting in criminal prosecution from ANY of these unlawful House heariings”.

      Yes, I shouldn’t be putting words in your mouth. But you shouldn’t be deliberately insinuating what you’ve done above.

      Fine, if that’s your opinion rather than attempted claims of fact; I disagree.

      I also believe that not only is it true that a lie can go around the world before the truth gets it’s shoes on, it is also true that a massive lie becomes fact when that lie and the liars who started and propagated it are never exposed for their actions and lies.

      If the hearings just offend you for some reason or other, just say so, rather than attempting to create this environment you built with that sentence.

      Those who attempt to live life on a moral high ground they build for themselves are regularly in danger of slipping and falling while manufacturing even higher elevations to perch on to deliver their sermons to the unwashed masses.

  12. Jamie Raskin, in a highly competitive field, is the most obnoxious congressional turd. He even outslugs Maxine’s wig and Pressley’s lack thereof. Only Dan Goldman can compete in the outrageous statements category.

    1. If I wanted a bulldog on my team, it would be raskin. And goldman too. Name any republican who can out-outrageous them and get the attention they get? Don’t forget that stuff makes headlines, and that’s what the low brow people (reps. and dems among them) eat up and eventually respond to at the voting booth.

  13. Imagine being a pedophile protector or even being a pedophile. The Trump administration should follow the law and release the Epstein files and stop the over up.

    1. Anon
      Agree 100%, unfortunately two of the most knowledgeable people on the Epstein network of corruption failed to show up for their subpoenaed testimony.

    2. If Trump was as bad as you libs claim. Why didn’t Biden and his AG release the files?
      He had four long years…

      1. Release? Trump was still checking out the babe pics. He’s got quite a collection of porn at Mar Largo. Everyone knows that.

    3. Imagine being a pedophile protector or even being a pedophile.

      Imagine being yourself, repeatedly voting for President Daddy-Daughter Inappropriate White House Incest Showers. The Obama/Biden voters that were the pedophile protectors for Harvey Weinstein in his eight years of being an honored White House guest of Obama. An honored guest while the Obama/Biden Secret Service close protection details repeatedly warned both of them that Weinstein was a serial rapist and pedophile.

      At the same time, 8+ years of Biden/Obama protecting The First Felon son and First Felon Daughter’s sexual perversions and pedophilia. The Biden Bribery Laptop’s pages filled with sexual perversion, pedophilia, Biden paying for his son’s crack and underage Russian prostitutes – that’s all nothing but Putin election campaign disinformation!

      Tovarish… give us a preview of what your next deflection commie clown show will be? The one after you realize you can’t discover anything about Trump that Biden’s puppeteers missed while they were pulling the stops out trying to destroy Trump before he could defeat Biden in the upcoming election.

  14. A thorough investigation and unedited report of the murder of Ashli Babbitt should be an important part of the hearing.

    1. Not sure what an unedited report about babbits death will do to satisfy your seemingly morbid curiosity?

          1. And you got the report to prove it?

            You were far more entertaining before you escaped the Democrat circus where the ringmaster had you perched on a stool clapping your flippers and barking on command while balancing a beach ball on your nose.

            Sealioning:
            Sealioning is a form of adolescent trolling where someone persistently demands answers to insincere questions to provoke a response, often pretending to seek a civil debate while actually trying to exhaust or frustrate others with no intention of real discourse. This behavior is characterized by a facade of politeness and a refusal to acknowledge previous answers. Often used as a tactic by whining Democrats in online forums and blogs

          2. It was televised live as it happened across the Nation. He shot her through a wire reinforced window. She was surrounded by DC Capitol Police, she had no weapon and weighed 90-100#s, zero necessity for lethal force. The black Crow killed her in a cold blooded murder, not even comparable to Good. We’re not forgetting, all debts shall be paid.

  15. The “democrat” party MUST be outlawed! When we look at the long anti-US history of that party, it shocks me that it wasn’t outlawed right after the Civil War! It’s been clear from its inception that its only real goal is the destruction of our nation. They hate the US Constitution & Bill of Rights. They hate our constitutional republican form of government. They hate everything about our nation! Outlaw them & charge them with any applicable federal crimes!

  16. “None of this excuses the outrageous riot” that we now know for a fact was planned and instigated by the FBI. I am always amazed that people are more outraged about American citizens protesting a stolen election than they are by the cold-blooded murder of an American woman. If Michael Byrd could kill Ashli Babbitt with impunity, then nobody should be complaining about what happened to Renee Good.

    1. “that we now know for a fact …” Sorry to bust you bubble. It is not a fact. It is an allegation, in so far as, that the FBI was present. Nothing more.

      1. Why do you suppose they suddenly failed to release all videos? The FBI undercover agents could be identified and their participation in the riots could be evidenced.

  17. I did not know there even was or is a J6 committee still haggling over what was a riot. This is one of the reasons why public polling shows such low regard for members of congress as they quibble about small things and ignore what they are there to do. DO YOUR JOB!

      1. Actually, I believe that this J6 committee’s purpose is in reviewing and revealing the facts that the initial partisan J6 committee spun.
        Pipe bombs
        FBI informants
        Antifa agitators
        Pelosi’s master plan
        Those types of things, the truth behind the curtain of deception.

    1. “polling shows such low regard for members of congress …” And yet they are still the ones who control the country. Won’t change anytime soon.

    1. “imagine being a democrat where you can commit crimes daily and nothing happens?”
      Imagine being a republican where you can commit crimes daily and nothing happens? ……… fixed it.

          1. And “when they start murdering people in the streets” I, like most people on this blog, will agree with you. On the other hand, had your observation been made by USF or WMama you would likely have disagreed with them, because that is just what you do.

            There are only a limited number of possibilities: you are either intellectual deficient, intellectually dishonest or just an obstructionist/shill. Which is it?

            -g

  18. …and fools like Raskin will scream bloody murder if Trump invokes the Insurrection Act in Minnesota.

    1. Raskin is no fool. He knows exactly what he’s doing; a show for the MSM to spread far and wide. And guess who gets all the points? Raskin of course.
