Storming the capitol showed that Americans will only put up with so much from their government, sadly it was a hijacked event.

One man who participated in the siege of the Capitol building on Wednesday has been identified as John Earle Sullivan, a Black Lives Matter activist from Sandy, Utah.

The mainstream media called this video conspiracy theory but today more videos came out that make the Capitol police look like guiding the “rioters.”
Twitter erupted in calls for retribution on Wednesday, as accounts bearing the social network’s stamp of approval — the blue “verified” checkmark — called for Trump supporters to be shot.

The world’s reaction to the assault on the Capitol building by pro-Trump mobs ranged from delight to horror, depending on their views of America. Those who see the U.S. as an enemy, like Iran and China, found a measure of schadenfreude in the incident after the United States had spent decades trashing their government’s repression.

The Boston Massacre was a deadly riot that occurred on March 5, 1770, on King Street in Boston. It began as a street brawl between American colonists and a lone British soldier, but quickly escalated to a chaotic, bloody slaughter. The conflict energized anti-British sentiment and paved the way for the American Revolution.

My generation believed in the United States. We believed in its respect for the individual, in its Constitution, in its status as the only benign superpower in history. In other words, we believed in American exceptionalism. “Traditional American values are worthy of a passionate defense,” said author and TV commentator Monica Crowley. Referring to these values as “the American project,” Charles Murray, author of Coming Apart, defined it as the continuing effort “to demonstrate that human beings can be left free as individuals and families to live their lives as they see fit, coming together voluntarily to solve their joint problems.” If you boil it down, what makes our society unique in world history is the respect accorded the rights of the individual citizen. The Constitution was written as a restraint on the power of the government to interfere in our lives.

Abraham Lincoln would be on Trump’s side. In his address to Congress on the third of December, 1861 Lincoln outlined how he saw the cultural forces that were dividing The Union. He was crystal clear on what was at stake. As he put it. “It continues to develop that the insurrection is largely, if not exclusively, a war upon the first principle of popular government,—the rights of the people.”
A voice message threatening a 9/11-style attack on the US Capitol has prompted a federal probe after the audio was picked up on aviation radios, vowing to “avenge” the US assassination of Iranian general Qassem Soleimani.
“We are flying a plane into the Capitol Wednesday. Soleimani will be avenged,” the mysterious message said, first received by air traffic controllers based in New York earlier this week, according to CBS News. The message refers to the American drone strike that killed the Iranian Quds Force leader near the Baghdad airport early last year.
Last night, disaster was realized when the GOP lost both run-off Senate elections in Georgia. Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue were defeated in razor thin races. You’ll be less than shocked to learn that DeKalb County (metro Atlanta) was once again unable to count their votes on time, had “technical difficulties,” and ended up flipping the race with a midnight dump of votes.
Regardless, what this means is that Joe Biden will now enjoy a fully unified government under a party that continues to push further and further left, both socially and economically. To say things couldn’t be worse this morning politically is not really an understatement.
Iran requested the International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol) to issue a “red notice” for the arrest of President Trump and 47 other U.S. officials on Tuesday due to the killing of top Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani last year.
Iranian judiciary spokesman Gholamhossein Esmaili labeled Trump as “the main culprit” in Soleimani’s killing, which he called a “terrorist crime,” the semiofficial Mehr News Agency reported, according to NPR. Other U.S. officials included in the request are U.S. military commanders and officials in the region and at the Pentagon.

Protesters clashed with police in Washington, D.C. Tuesday night as tensions flared on the eve of planned rallies by supporters of President Trump to contest the scheduled certification of the president’s election loss.
Videos posted on Twitter show police holding back crowds of pro-Trump protesters and using pepper spray during one of the more violent clashes posted on social media.

Democrat Raphael Warnock was declared the victor in one of Georgia’s two Senate runoff elections, defeating incumbent Sen. Kelly Loeffler.
Warnock, a pastor at the historic Ebenezer Baptist Church where Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. once preached, became the first black man elected to represent Georgia in the Senate.
With his narrow win, Democrats have inched closer to seizing back control of the Senate.
