Go Fund Me

 Hector Emanuel Vargas Santos, a  Marine started a Go Fund Me account so every TRUE PATRIOT to D.C. on Jan. 6th. He explained that many "AMERICAN PATRIOTS" are interested in going to "fight the good fight," and "fight for our democracy."

There was an article about him, "Unsung Heroes," due to collecting money to help the homeless. Later he was accused of stealing the money. Related to George Santos, perhaps. Jersey City not far from Long Island?

Like so many of them, he was caught due to posting about his exploits on his Social Media accounts. One photo was captioned: Guys we're INSIDE the Chamber. He was heard on video shouting: "We took over this motherfucker," "we took over this fucking Capitol, tell them."

He posted a photo on Facebook of people climbing the walls, captioned WE THE PEOPLE TOOK OVER THE U.S. CAPITOL. #HOLD THE LINE.

Even though they fought like hell and lost, they still had a country left when it was over. 

Jacob Michael Therres ~ attacked guards

Jacob Michael Therres  threw a long, heavy plank at a line of guards. It struck an officer in the head,  resulting in immediate medical effects; he still experiences dizziness from the head injury.  Therres also sprayed a chemical irritant towards a line of officers. 

Yet if one reads Yahoo comments, Carlson mawas insist there was no violence, guards waved the rioters inside and took them on a peaceful sightseer tour of the building that was officially closed on J6. McCarthy should face penalty for giving a TV news commenter security footage of J6, but not all reputable news channels. 

McCarthy ran and hid with the rest of the Congress people, and their guests. Did Carlson or FOX show the footage of Hawley running across the hall to get to safety? 

“stand back and stand by”

 After djt told Proud Boys to “stand back and stand by”  during September 2020 debate, it became a group slogan. After trump tweeted to "be there, it will be wild," Enrique Tarios took it to be a call for action. He was disappointed in the groups prior protests, in November and December of 2020. where members were injured during street clashes. 

He started a sub-group: Ministry of Self-Defense; he handpicked members, among group leaders whom he felt he could trust to follow orders. This "fighting force" grew to several hundred members. Tarios was not at the J6 riot; in jail after burning a BLM flag in the December protest. 

Early in the morning, Ethan Nordean, took control of hundreds of Proud Boys, marching them to the Capitol building. They did not attend Trump's rally; they were the first to breach the building. Trump's defense, I assume; that he was in no way responsible for what came next. 

Of course he did nothing to try to stop it. Some claim he requested the National Guard; if true, he must have expected groups like the Proud Boys to become violent and aggressive. Fight like hell? They did so. And he thanked them and said "we love you," "you are special."

The other Proud Boys in this trial: Joseph Biggs, Zachary Rehl and Dominic Pezzola.

Peaceful J6 sightseers

 More peaceful J6 sightseers:

* Robert Reeder seen assaulting guard outside of Capitol Building, he also entered the building.

*Elias Costianes, violent entry

*John D. Andries, violent entry

* John Christopher Price & wife Cynthia Catherine Ballenger

*Matthew Joseph Buckler, "We're in the bitch! We're in the bitch," in video saved to his phone

*Bryan Betancur (aka Bryan Clooney, aka Maximo Clooney) carried a Confederate flag, self-described White Supremacist

*Matthew Ryan Miller, discharged fire extinguisher on Capitol steps

*Andrew Bennett, shouting "break it down," at door next to window Ashli was climbing through

*David Blair used lacrosse type stick attached to Confederate Flag pole to attack guards, had knife in his bags because he was afraid of antifa "jumping me on my way back."

Over a thousand arrested. I have been sharing what I read on articles. I am waiting for the man who incited the attack on Congress to get indicted. How anti-American to tell the rioters, "we love you, you are special," after they planned to "hang Mike Pence."

Russell Taylor cops a plea

Russell Taylor had "unlawful possession of a dangerous weapon on capitol grounds and in buildings," charges dropped, by agreeing to testify against his co-conspirators. 

"Taylor wore a black-plate carrier vest body armor and had a knife in his vest pocket and a stun baton in his backpack." (Preferred apparel to attend political rally?)

“we will fight and we will bleed before we allow our freedoms to be taken from us”

His DC Brigade would not leave Washington until "this election is made right, our freedoms are restored and America is preserved.”

* former La Habra Police Chief Alan Hostetter (Non profit American Phoenix Project)

* Riverside County Three Percenters militia members Derek Kinnison, Felipe “Tony” Martinez, Erik Scott Warner, Ronald Mele

During Huntington Beach Stop the Steal rally, Taylor said: "enemies and traitors of America … must be held accountable,” suggesting long prison time and executions (I hope he gets max 20 year jail time.)

Over 35 members followed the California Patriots-DC Brigade planning thread. Taylor suggested bringing suggesting hackets, bats, large metal flashlights, to the "big protest on J6."

Hostetter created his non profit, to protest against wearing a mask during a worldwide pandemic, and/or getting a vaccine. No one attacked Congress due to Eisenhower's admin mandating polio vaccines. I assume it was mandated, due to growing up with the vaccines being administered in elementary school.

Most U.S. of A. citizens want to be free from a dictatorship, which is what trump's aim was; seemingly being aided and abetted by most all GOP Congress people. Maybe trump is truly a warlock? His caped superhero power to hypnotize masses of people into believing his lies?

Proud Boy or Bad Boy Pezzola?

 Dominic Pezzola joined the Proud Boys shortly before J6 to be with like minded men. Reported that he said during the trial, that the charges were "fake," event though he admitted that he used a police shield to break a Capitol Building window, during their "trespassing protest."

He said law enforcement used excessive force during the riot. What did he expect, when he was yelling at the guards: “You better decide what side you’re on motherf-----s,”  &  “You think Antifa’s bad? Just wait.”

Tired of hearing them say antifa as if it is an organization like Proud Boys, 3%ers, Oath Keepers, KKK, Neo-Nazis, Neo-Confederates, Mafia. The rest of his statements were just as dumb ~ parroting whatever  words Q/T Social/Carlson/Greene told him.  MAWAS talk about freedom, yet need others to tell them what to think? Sad bunch of people; sad for U.S. of A. that the mawa leader is GOP frontrunner, rather than being tried for treason. 

Pezzola's hat read: “respect is earned, beatings are free.” He did not earn respect; maybe he will get some free beatings in jail? 

Christopher Michael Alberts

Christopher Michael Alberts, wore a gas mask, a protective vest on J6, His  backpack had a ready-to-eat meal, a pocket knife, first aid kit. Another article reported the backpack also had a bungee cord. He was arrested for having a gun. He admitted to bringing a concealed weapon with him.

He said "instinct took over" when he used a wooden pallet to build a wall between rioters and police. Reported he said police used excessive force and "Somebody had to put a stop to it; it was wrong." He called the police "domestic terrorists," and "y'all wanted war, you asked for it, you got it." Also threw a water bottle at guards feet.

Is it customary to wear a gas mask and protective vest to a rally? Conceal a gun? 

He claimed the crowd was "completely peaceful." He tried to flee when officer noticed weapon and tried to detain him. (weapon found: Taurus G2C 9mm ) His gun and two 12 round ammo magazines. The gun and ammo were unregistered. I did not know that ammon requires registering. 

I could not relocate article that mentioned what his fiance testified to in court. Good guy with a gun? Vaguely recall: he did not go to D.C. to cause any harm. He used his "wooden pallet wall," to push officers, which is not a peaceful move. Peaceful, would have been to obey, guards, not rush them.

Mother and Son

 Lisa Eisenhart would “rather die as a 57-year-old woman than live under oppression.” 

She and her son, Eric Munchel where photographed walking over seats in the Senate. Eric swinging zip loc ties, he took from police checkpoint. He had a holstered taser and mounted cell phone on his chest recording 57 minutes of their action on J6. 

If Lisa feels wearing a mask during a pandemic or getting a vaccine to help stem the spread is oppression, how would she feel during a dictatorship? A "return of 1776?" She told a London reporter the country was founded on revolution. (could not locate that exact quote)

Munchel told same reporter "the point of getting inside the building [was] to show them that we can, and we will."

A Joint Terrorism Task Force raid of Eric's home the FBI "found a stash of 15 firearms, including assault rifles, a sniper rifle with a tripod, shotguns, pistols, and hundreds of rounds of ammunition," in addition to 5 large plastic handcuffs, the tactical vest he wore on J6.

As long as trump and his minions in congress are around, the U.S. of A. government is in danger of being toppled by the mawa crowd. 

Sean Michael McHugh

 Sean Michael McHugh used megaphone to goad J6 rioters forward:

“We’re storming the Capitol” “This is our country, we’re not going to let this happen” 

He said, his "mother was being hit by rubber bullets around the time he unloaded bear spray onto the police officer," and the bear spray he used was not as strong as what police use. Judge said his spray was 50% stronger. Why bring bear spray to a rally? Lots of bears among mobs of people in D.C.?

He temporarily blinded one officer, and wrote on Facebook:“I unloaded a whole can of bear spray on a line of cops I got three of them down really really good.”

He and other rioters pushed a 10- to 15-  wide metal sign into guards. He said, he did not mean to harm guards, the thought they were flipping the sign around to show "Yes, this is trump country." 

He shouted they were "protecting pedophiles", and "protecting communists", and "I have a job to do, and its defend the Constitution." 

His fiance Amy Hunt wrote: “Sean stood up his country that day like everyone else did that day to peacefully rally for the truth. Sean never imagined the nightmare that he would witness and become trapped in."

He has a criminal history in Sacramento, some crimes committed during probation.  He should get the full 20 year sentence, but judges are giving these traitors slaps on the wrist.

Sean shows how effective GOP, trump, alternative facts, Carlson, propaganda can be. 

Congressman Robert Garcia

I spoke to Congressman Robert Garcia when he was running for Mayor in Long Beach, California. I liked him but voted for the other guy, due to disagreeing with one of his campaign ideas. He was elected, I moved back east, but think he achieved that goal. 

He tweeted  "Thoughts and prayers are welcome - but not enough. We can decrease gun violence and mass shootings with sensible gun reform legislation. The time is now."

One person replied: Address mental health reforms as normal, sane law abiding gun owners don't commit acts of mass shootings.

Another: Outlaw shooting people.

The last two mass shootings ~ Nashville Elementary school and Louisville bank shooters had no criminal records (law abiding) able to legally purchase AR-15 rifles. How would the first (does not use a people name, something about multi faceted veteran) suggest "mental health reform" would have stopped these two self-described "depressed" shooters?

Is the 2nd that dumb they do not know that there are laws about shooting people? They obviously do not work.

As someone replied to Ted Cruz: It Is The Gun, Stupid.

Well Regulate!

 Beth Akers comment: 

Ban assault weapons, eliminate the gun show loopholes, no more internet sale of weapons, all weapons sold will require lock boxes, and all buyers will have to complete a firearms safety course.  Create a national registry.  If a person has a criminal record or a mental illness, no sale. 

Young adults between the ages of 18 - 26 will require a sponsor to purchase a gun.  That sponsor will have to be present, age 35 or older and meet all the same requirements as the purchaser.  If the purchaser does anything nefarious with the gun, both the purchaser and the sponsor will be held accountable.

GOP refuses to consider well regulating citizen militia. 

Choose the gun you want to get shot with?

 State Rep. William Lamberth asked student protestors which gun they wanted to get shot with?

"If there is a firearm out there that you’re comfortable being shot with, please show me which one it is."

Well, yes, Mr. Lamberth, I would be more comfortable being shot (and killed) with a pistol, hunting rifle, BB Gun than an AR-15 that tore elementary school student's body in half? 

Impossible to keep all guns out of “the hands of a crazy person, a deranged person, [or] a convicted felon, and even if it was done, it would do nothing to prevent y’all’s safety.”

Or we will do nothing to prevent your safety? How about "protect your safety?"

Just wait until they reach voting age. How to make enemies and lose voters? Um, maybe that is the title of a book I could write? I probably have enough info on this blog to write it. However, I do need to get Word installed on this computer. Notepad is horrible choice for writing even letters. 

No gun violence

 "There’s no such thing as gun violence. There’s only human violence. It’s intellectually unsound to state otherwise, and the number one cause of death for children in America remains abortion.” Rep. Clay Higgins (R-La.)

Round and round they go. Comments on article shared at Yahoo News, are typical. One or two agree that abortion is murder. Most are typical. The tired "guns do not kill, people kill," "if knives were used would you say knife violence," "shall we ban cars," vs. "guns only purpose is to kill," "cars are regulated," "knives and cars sole purpose is not to kill".

Show me a child inside a girl or woman's womb, and I will show you a freak of nature. Must be a teeny tiny child to fit in even a very large female's womb. I am guessing that someone with a small body will have smaller internal organs also. Some baby's hearts or lungs have not fully developed before birth. I am guessing that as the baby grows, so do organs. 

Chicago, the south, red states, libs, shared article "leftugees fleeing blue states" (Forbes) "Democrats wonder why the hell are blacks moving to red states" (maybe the title did not say "hell" but that is how it sounded)  did not notice the publication. or the third on the same subject. Maybe "Examiner."

They want to grab our guns or they are not going to grab our guns. 

How many years has the GOP been screaming that Democrats want to take away people's guns? At least 50, methinks. No one trying to take away hunting rifles, hand guns, or pistols. Exception would be when New Orleans was under martial law, and cops confiscated family heirloom rifles after illegal search of car trunk.

I again broke my promise to stop commenting on articles. I never check for replies. I just hope something I say will cause a person to think. Especially the one that slurred everyone's intelligence, that spelled, in all caps VIOLECE. Did not take time to read before posting? Or does not know how to spell violence? Peeps like that make me laugh. 

That poster: pro guns, anti abortion. 

H.R. 1095 ~ National Gun?

 "An assault on one constitutional right is an attack on them all, and I will continue doing all I can to fight those seeking to seize power from the people and give it to the government." Rep. Barry Moore, Alabama, introduced bill to make H.R. 1095 AR-15 Rifle National Gun of the United States. He also stated: 

"The most fundamental job of a Congressman is to protect your liberties, and I take that duty incredibly seriously." He seems to have forgotten about the right to life,  and pursuit of happiness for children and their parents, killed by AR-15 and other assault style weapons. Also, being GOP, likely forgot about female right to liberty.

Co-sponsors of the bill: George Santos, NY, Lauren Boebert, Colorado, Andrew Clyde, Georgia ~ all Republicans. Santos is a complete fraud, and known criminal. Clyde was born in Canada; college graduate, Navy vet, CEO.  No wonder he wants a National gun, especially a military style one.

How 'bout Winchester rifle if we really need a National Gun? I know nothing about hunting guns, but I think Winchester was popular in the Wild Wild West. Okay, I need to look it up, eh. But first, the only things I knew about Boerbert is her pro trump stance, fight with M.T. Greene, and a few other anti-U.S. of A. statements.

Okay, now I know she owned Shooter's Grill, in Rifle, Colorado, a "Second Amendment and Western-themed restaurant," where she encouraged staff to open-carry guns. She grew up in a welfare household, quit high school believing, her bio says, she could provide better for her family with a job, rather than being on welfare. 

She married a man who works in natural gas drilling company. Her bio claims she is active in her church. Surely, not Christian, who are to love thy neighbor. Most Christians are bound by the Hebrew 10 Commandments Thou Shalt Not Kill. 

Now that I know who she is, I understand her stance on AR-15s and why, with zero government experience she was elected. And there is the reason why the U.S. of A. is so divided. 

DON'T TAKE OUR GUNS  vs. BAN ASSAULT STYLE WEAPONS, STOP LETTING PEOPLE KILL OUR CHILDREN

If it was one of her sons that was killed by an AR-15 wielding mass shooter, would she feel the same? As a mother, can she not understand the pain of mothers who lost their children due to assault style weapons? Her children are not growing up in the era of active shooter drills. Possibly the younger one is. But he is likely not afraid ~ no matter how much the townspeople love guns, they would never attack "me." 

Do we really need a National Gun? And why do Republicans desecrate the stars and stripes by covering the flag with politicians faces? Showing they pledge allegiance to a man (I have only seen two men's faces on them, could be more) rather than allegiance to the nation they want to govern. 

Bruce Y. Lee ~ naked throwing hot dogs

Bruce Y. Lee made a good point in Forbes online article about GOP selling points: 

Umm, just because you don’t have a right to run naked down a city street singing “Hallelujah,” while throwing hot dogs at people doesn't mean that you won’t retain your right to run, to eat hot dogs, or to sing the song “Hallelujah.” In fact, you are free to be naked, sing “Hallelujah,” and throw hot dogs at your mirror, all at the same time. So imposing some restrictions should by no means imply that.

Man's Genesis

 Man's Genesis is a short American film from 1912. 

It portrayed a Stone Age Battle between "Weak Hands" and "Brute Force."

Weak Hands won by inventing the ax. 

And the rest, as theysay, is history. Too bad Brute Force did not use their strength to help Weak Hands, all living in harmony. 

Jeffrey McKellop,

 I thought I posted about Jeffrey McKellop, age 57, ex Special Forces Soldier who showed up on J6 wearing a helmet, tactical vest, protective eyewear and a gas mask. Dressed for a peaceful tour of the Capitol Building, eh.

He is accused of "assaulting officers, throwing bottles at police and allegedly picking up a flagpole and striking a police officer in the face, causing a wound. He then reportedly threw the flagpole at the same officer like a spear." 

He has been in jail for two years. His trial will be delayed due to his attorney quitting and needing new council. It says he is from Fisherville, which I assume is in Virginia due to report being from The Staunton Ledger. 

---

The article mentions Marine Vet, Thomas Webster,  who was sentenced to 10 years for attacking an officer with flagpole, tackling and choking him. Wester was also a retired police officer. 

Never a threat

 "they were never a threat to law makers" "they walked in, they walked out" "they had great relationships with the guards; hugging, kissing police and guards" ~ DJT

*Edward Badalian in chat, he wrote: “we need to violently remove traitors" Clashed with cops, Trashed lawmakers’ offices.

*Mark Andrew Mazza Carried Taurus revolver w/shotgun shells & hollow-point bullets., Swung baton at cops, screaming “This is our f*cking house.”

*Aiden Henry Bilyard, Cary NC, 19, arrested in 2020 on J6

shot orange bear spray at officers, used baseball bat to shatter Capital windows

The police officer who was hit by the bear spray that Bilyard allegedly fired on Jan. 6 said it caused him "extreme pain and incapacitated him.”

*Bradley Rukstales threw a chair at cops inside Capitol,  tussling with police, took 3 to take him into custody

*Broadway actor James Beeks is charged in Capitol riot.

Anthime Gionet, known as “Baked Alaska, filmed riot as it was happening J6, “i can’t believe i’m going to jail for an nft salesman.”

***

Perhaps James Beeks needs to look at the man in the mirror, and make a change, eh?

Fight Like Hell

 "All of us here today do not want to see our election victory stolen by bold and radial left Democrats, which is what they are doing, and stolen by the fake news media. That is what they have done and what they are doing. We will never give up. We will never concede. It doesn't happen. 

You don't concede when the is theft involved. Our country has had enough. We will not take it anymore, and that is what this is all about. and to use a favorite term that all of you people really came up with, we will stop the steal...

We will not let them silence your voices. We're not going to let that happen...Republicans are constantly fighting like a boxer with his hands tied behind his back. It's like a boxer. And we ant to be so nice, so respectful of everybody, including bad people. 

And we're going to have to fight much harder...Because you'll never take back our country with weakness. You have to show strength and be strong..We fight and we fight like hell. And if you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country anymore."

---

How can someone box with no arms and gloved hands, because they are tied around their back? Now I get his NFT pixel featuring his life and career as a boxer.

THIS IS MY COUNTRY TOO, arsehole. I think I get it now. All this Civil War being threatened, Trump's claims to be better than Abraham Lincoln, he wants to take us back to 1860s when America was great. Lead his weaponized thugs to a Southern states win over the North.

 Evidentially he has the support of "The Grand Old Party has become the Rule-or-Ruin Party."

Knife threat

 A 38 year old man was arrested after he walking into a polling place in West Bend, Wisconsin, with a knife, demanding they stop the voting. No one was hurt, voting was stopped for 30 minutes. Library staff, poll workers and citizens hid in a closed voting room location until police cleared the location for more possible violence.

"Austin Gene Combs confessed to shooting Anthony Lee King “several times with a revolver” while the 43-year-old victim and his wife were doing yardwork..." Okeana, Ohio. 

Austin killed King because he thought King was a Democrat. 

Comments about political violence:

John wrote

It started with Gingrich as he demonized Democrats by referring to them as the "enemy" instead of opponent. Trump made it worse and now we have this...welcome to GOP's America.

Casey replied:

No, it started with Medal of Freedom "winner" Rush Limbaugh becoming popular and creating syncophants and imitators on right wing "news" radio in the early 90's. Before that there was division but at least a moderate amount of respect to those with diverging opinions. Now it's just unbelievable how unstable this whole right wing has become towards their fellow Americans. Sorry not sorry, but patriotism is more than just how many flags you can stick on your pickup truck, and there is more to the Constitution than just the 2nd Amendment.

Zelda's 'two cents'

Yes, Rupert Murdoch has contributed to the destruction of journalism in multiple English-speaking countries, including the U.S.
