On the one hand, President-Select Joe Biden has said that there should be healing in the land. “Now it is time to turn the page, to unite, to heal.” – said Joe Biden on December 14, 2020 per CNBC.
“You can’t let this behavior slide, you can’t ignore it and hope that it’s not going to happen again because you see what’s shaping up for the future with guys like Josh Hawley and Ted Cruz and others who are looking to turn the Trump Republican Party into the Trump Republican party on steroids,” Democratic lawmaker Hank Johnson said per the transcript linked here.
“We have got to make sure that those who come after Donald Trump know that they will not be allowed to get away with what Donald Trump did, that they will be held accountable. They will be treated, yes, like ‘negroes’ – they will be perp-walked to the jail, hands handcuffed not in front of them but behind them. They will be booked, fingerprinted, have to make bond, and have to hire a lawyer just like everyone else who go through the system,” Johnson said.
More healing comes from Mark Zuckerberg, a big-time backer of the Democrats and the Biden-Harris ticket, who the Amistad Project alleges helped rig the election by making financial deals with state and local officials and potentially breaking election laws in numerous states. Zuckerberg personally announced today that President Trump’s Facebook and Instagram accounts would be locked until he leaves office, or perhaps indefinitely.
Some will read these words and may either be confirmed in their fears or perhaps become concerned. But arguably the safest place to be is to intelligently and clearly call the powers that be out and continue to shed light that could hold them to account. Justice may be delayed. But that doesn’t mean that justice will be denied. Indeed, the Almighty is always the backstop for the eternal Justice question.
Rush Limbaugh, back from 2 weeks of treatments and rest said today “One Wrong Word…” would be the watchword. “Not enough people on our side understand the worldwide left, elected officials included” said Limbaugh on 1.7.2021. He spoke about the left’s lack of traditional morality.
Limbaugh, citing CNBC’s Jim Cramer, noted that the Democratic plan being advanced by “President-Select” Joe Biden* actually benefits the wealthy, while harming the middle class and smaller businesses. He specifically cited the SALT tax change, which targets homes owned by the well-to-do. By contrast, repealing the Trump tax cuts will hit smaller business and the middle class. Limbaugh said that the bottom line is that Democrats posture being for the little guy, but they have been the party of the wealthy, powerful and connected for many years.
The old canard that elections have consequences may be true. But what are the consequences of a stolen election? In the 1960 election – which is seen by several historians as a prior example of a stolen election, only not so widespread or bold as this one – Richard Nixon decided not to make an issue of the purported ballot box stuffing and dead voting in key Democratic areas that delivered the close contest to President John F. “Jack” Kennedy. Fast forward 60 years to 2020. There were warnings starting about a year in advance of the election, from Democrats as well as Republicans, as the report linked below made clear. But once the election result favored the Democrats, apparently for many anti-Trumpers, the ends justified the means.
How that plays out in the days ahead with brooding supporters of the 45th president remains to be seen. Biden supporters framed the January 6, 2021 effort by Trump-loyalists in the Congress as efforts to “overturn the election.” But Trump voters saw it as making sure that an election was being carried out in a free and fair way. The argument advanced by former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani

Where Business, Politics and Investing Can Meet
Cui Bono? Who benefits from this? Hershel Walker said via Twitter yesterday that the events on the Capitol shifted the focus from a stolen election to the “riot” by “insurrectionists” trying a “coup” to take over the country. It is a keen point, because the allegation of a “coup” is laughable if it weren’t so lame, obvious, routine, and sad.
I believe the Republican members of Congress who have incited this domestic terror attack through their attempts to overturn the election must face consequences. They have broken their sacred Oath of Office.
I will be introducing a resolution calling for their expulsion. pic.twitter.com/JMTlQ4IfnR

Sean Davis via Twitter on 1.6.2021 replied to the above by saying “Your silly resolution there is dated January 5, which was yesterday. How’d you manage to draft legislation in response to an event that hadn’t even happened yet?”
Saying that President Trump “committed an unspeakable assault on our nation,” Speaker Nancy Pelosi called on Vice President Pence to remove Trump from office by immediately invoking the 25th amendment. If he doesn’t, she said Congress may move to impeach. https://t.co/vOphy3SIRS pic.twitter.com/tsDH80USBw

He’s right. If yesterday’s violence was caused by left-wingers, D.C.’s mayor would’ve ordered police to take a knee, corporations would’ve announced their support, and Biden’s VP would’ve raised money to bail out anyone who accidentally got arrested. https://t.co/mP4afexeWI

Overnight on 6 Jan., #antifa rioted again in Portland. They first tried to break into the Multnomah County Courthouse. After that, they marched around downtown, smashing businesses one-by-one.

The first thing I did when I went to Beijing as a congressional staffer in 2005 was log onto a computer at my hotel to search for photos/videos of the Tiananmen Square massacre. No results.

Correct. And video of them walking in, crowds of people, through the north entrance. No police officers stopped them. A huge and confusing situation and large numbers of very bad actors, no doubt, creating a deadly situation. All mixed together. https://t.co/pA5RwpswYL

Democrats don’t oppose political violence. They love it, and will even fund it, as long as it’s directed at their enemies.

What lies ahead? If what Democratic leaders say vs. what they then contradict themselves is an example, then it will be an Orwellian future. You will be taught to love Big Brother.
Most voters already knew they had a good thing with President Trump. But perhaps among the ‘dark graces’ that lie ahead will the the realization of the lies, coverups, and deceptions that have been perpetuated against voters, all in a fashion that benefited a favored few, not the many.
