William McCall Calhoun of Americus, Ga. attorney, age 59, posted on Facebook: “Today the American People proved we have the power. We physically took control of the Capitol building in a hand to hand hostile takeover. We occupied the Capitol and shut down the Government – we shut down their stolen election shenanigans . . .”
The only shenanigans was Trump trying to rig and steal the election. Not man enough to concede, he sells more lies and incites a riot.
Other secession comments; almost all agreed that divorcing red states from blue or secession was a great idea.
Democrats say, then Red states no longer get money from Blue states that support them. No more aid to Texas, New Orleans, after hurricanes or Alabama tornadoes, thank you very much.
Mawas or GOP hate Democrats ~ Communists is common slur. Drag queens, CRT, other stuff being "shoved down their throats." Reality, it is Christian Right that demands we obey their rules. No women shall be allowed to get treatment for ectopic pregnancy, have a D & C, and shall be forced to give birth to a stillborn baby. Supreme Court gave states the right to deny liberty based on gender. Who is forcing who?
One or two people who commented showed signs of intelligence. My words; do we build a wall around Texas, requiring passports for them to travel to the U.S. of A.? What happens to Interstate highways, paid for by U.S. of A. government? Cross country trains? One asked about commerce between states ~ export/import, tariffs, more laws? Another pointed out today's military as compared to 1861. Any state that tried to remove themselves from nation would be defeated in, I think, poster said, 30 minutes.
I suggest people look at the 1975 Electoral College map. California was red, Texas and New York were blue. Demographics change, people change party affiliations. There are not red states, there are no blue states, there are states with diverse populations. Would a Green be allowed to live in a Red State? A Libertarian in a Blue State. Ridiculous, unintelligent idea.
We either live together or perish together. China/Russia would simply love a Divided States of America. Peeps need to stop hating and try listening and understanding others. I understand why some people are opposed to doctor assisted termination of pregnancies.
But I do not understand why they do not understand all the reasons why the choice belongs to the woman and her doctor. Prove that life begins at conception. Most females do not know they are pregnant until missing a period or two. I had a cousin who did not know she was pregnant until she went into labor.
How can that be? Change of life baby, they used to be called. At that age, the chubby lady was moving towards obesity. Her menstrual cycle had already stopped. She had not reason to suspect the weight gain had to do with pregnancy.
Nitpicking point, but it is more potential for life, not life itself. A living, breathing, walking, talking female should have more rights than an invisible zygote, blastocyst and even fetus.
Someone suggested it should be done by county referendum. Okay, so Orange County, California can opt to sede from Los Angeles County? Or secede from the U.S. of A. How would that work?
No wonder people vote for the likes of M.T. Greene and djt ~ no critical thinking skills. Secession is a terrible idea; can not divorce states without destroying the U. S. of A.
The secession article pointed out that divorce involves things like: Who Will Get The Children. So, who would get the National Debt, author queried. The author states %ages of voters who agree with a national divorce. Heavy on GOP/mawas and trump himself. Less than 50% of Biden voters. Notice he wrote, Biden, not Democrats. And what happened to Greens? Or Libertarians? Us Independents do not count in these here United States of America?
Percentages and polls do not interest me. No one asks me my opinion. Unless at the end of the poll, they are asking for campaign donations, thus biased questions, anyway. Judging by comments on the article, those percentages are likely accurate.
MAWAs out in force. They hate Blues or Democrats. One said "then the Blue States would become Police States." How effective that GOP propaganda has been. All my adult life GOP has been yelling that Democrats are coming for your guns. Has that happened? There was a ten year period when military style weapons were banned. Mass shootings were down in those years.
I once believed that if they took away citizens rights to own guns, then only police would have them. Internet, however, allowed me to read sensible gun laws. A nationwide database to be used by gun sellers to deny felons purchase of weapons, to deny domestic violence offenders guns, to deny mentally unstable people from owning guns, is sensible.
The part of the 2nd Amendment about Well Regulated Militia is ignored by NRA lovers. What is regulated, other than laws or rules or oversight? I think that amendment was to ensure people could fight for their state in their military or National Guard.
Where does that state that law enforcement are militia?
M.T. Greene wants to divorce red states from blue states. Read an article saying "Secession is here:" people have been withdrawing from the Union for years. An example is not serving on jury duty. I do not see that as "withdrawing." Some people simply do not want to play judge over other people's lives ~ that is, find a stranger guilty of a crime, based on the best lawyer's presentation.
I raised hand to be excused from a trial once. A homeless man was charged with failing to register as a sex offender. The offense was statutory rape of his girlfriend 30 years back in high school. A 16 or 17 year old having a 18 or 19 year old boyfriend is not at all unusual. If the girl consents to have sex, that is not rape. And how does an unhoused person register an address? 555 Ocean Blvd, where he sleeps, overnight? Lincoln Park where he hangs out during the day?
He had no other "sex offenses" since being charged with having sex with his underage girlfriend. I would not be a fair juror (not guilty.) I also would not sit on trial to give criminal death penalty. I am against that due to innocent people being put to death. Until our justice system is perfect, I do not approve.
I would rather assisted suicide be legal. With cause ~ terminally ill elderly, perhaps, who wants to choose a time and place to end suffering and expense of care.
Was I withdrawing? No, I was excited to be chosen to serve on another jury. After lunch break, when we returned, we were dismissed due to defendant accepting a plea deal.
Some companies do not pay time off for jury duty. The miniscule stipend does not make up for losing a days pay to do jury duty. A person might have medical condition, such as diabetes and could not chance a long trial. Many reasons to refuse jury duty having zero to do with withdrawing from the Nation.
*Mitchell Todd Gardner II, 34, of Seffner, Florida plead guilty to civil disorder, obstruction of an official proceeding, and assaulting, resisting, or impeding officers with a dangerous weapon. He used a pepper spray canister to shatter a window after others did not do so when he told them to break it.
He handed someone a weapon that looked to be a desk or chair leg. He encouraged others to "Pull the cops out," "drag them out."
Peaceful sightseer, eh?
Aiden Bilyard of Cary was 18 when he sprayed chemical agents at police and broke out a window in the Capitol, attorney said he did not bring weapons, so where did he get chemical spray?
Fort Bragg soldier James Mault (30), re-enlisted in Army after being fired from his job, due to his part in J6 riot. He is full of remorse, should have known better, than to pepper spray a guard. He said he wore tactical gear to prepare for counter-protestors. Okay, that shows he did not just go to D.C. to listen to a rally; he planned to actively protest, even prior to DJT telling him to march peacefully to Capitol and then FIGHT like HELL.
On Jan. 5, 2021, Cody Mault sent text message to Mattice suggesting they bring batons, pepper spray, helmets, eye protection and “asskicking boots. Cody Mault (29) was among those who ripped bike rack barrier from guards, forcing their way into the building. He pepper sprayed guards directly in their faces.
*A Tampa Bay Times article about Gardner shows an image with photo circled labeled as him spraying officers. But the circled guy is not Gradner; he is standing above the guy doing the spraying.
Larry Brock, retired Air Force, was given two years jail time for storming the Capitol Building on J6.
Sightseers often wear tactical vests and helmets for tours, eh? Reported he wrote:
“When we get to the bottom of this conspiracy we need to execute the traitors that are trying to steal the election, and that includes the leaders of the media and social media aiding and abetting the coup plotters," Brock wrote in a Nov. 9. 2020, post on Facebook.
On Dec. 24th he wrote on Facebook "plan of action if Congress fails to act” One of the “main tasks” “seize all Democratic politicians and Biden key staff and select Republicans.”
I often get told Yahoo is holding a comment for approval. Or asks if I am sure, it might offend members of the community. I reword, reword, reword, than finally give up and report the comment I was replying to.
Today I tried several times to reply to comments on article about U.S.P.S. employee theft.
I once had a temp Casual Clerk job at post office distribution center. After watching a training film about theft of mail, I thought, gee they just showed me how to steal mail, if I were so inclined. Another person who commented said something similar. Yet I left out the part about showing me how to steal, and just added "Same." Being held for approval.
Maybe Casual Clerk might offend? I did not mention theft in my last attempt to add to conversation.
Yeah, I know, I said I was going to stop commenting. Better if I just copy offensive or false info comments and write about them here.
Just have nothing to do and all day to do it. Wish Windows had not removed my Solitaire games from taskbar. I hate the new and unimproved versions. I intend to get out a regular deck of cards and play offline as I used to do pre-computer days.
Or do as I once did: play Scrabble Mary vs. Alyce.
Joshua Doolin, 25, of Polk City, and Michael Perkins, 39, of Plant City, Florida, found guilty. Both stole police shields and Perkins assaulted guard with a "deadly weapon." WFTV article by Sarah Wilson did not specify what the weapon was.
I wonder how Carlson and his fans rationalize violence against guards to enter closed building was needed for "sightseers," or "peaceful tourists."
They were doing what trump told them to do ~ FIGHTING LIKE HELL to stop certifying the election he lost. How slow-witted, or unintelligent or hateful do people have to be to go along with the Carlson, GOP narrative. If trump lovers were actually patriots they would condemn him, Carlson, Hawley, McCarthy, most GOP Congress people, not support them. Sad.
Elias Irizarry & Elliot Bishai ~ two friends who were charged for participation in J6 attack on Congress, were each given 2 week jail sentence. Bishi was sentenced previously by same judge who now sentenced Irizarry.
Princeton boy, Larry Gibberson, opposed the University's decision to remove a portrait of Woodrow Wilson. It is reported that he said: “If our University can be intimidated by the transient impulses of the mob mentality to disregard their own esteemed standards, what guarantee is there that the University will stand firm against those who would seek to undermine the Nation, or indeed, Humanity itself?”
So then he goes along with mob mentality to disregard our Constitutional standards, and common decency, by attacking guards on J6, in attempt to undermine the country.
My father used to say: Do as I say, not as I do.
Larry Fife Giberson was part of the heave-ho crowd pushing guards in the tunnel. He waved other rioters to join them, in second round of pushing the guards; he tried to lead a chant, "Drag them out" but the crowd did not join him.
21 year old New Jersey resident attending Princeton College. Peeps always repeat "he loves the poorly educated." I do not know if 21 is his age now was in 2021. Need good grades to be admitted into Princeton. One would think he was too smart to fall for trump fantasies. He could be racist, but I do not understand how any intelligent person could thinks skin color makes them superior to others.
We are all the same inside. College student should know that. Yet, Michelle Obama felt some discrimination when she attended Princeton.
At age 55, Yvonne St Clair, was able to crawl through a window to invade Senate office on J6. Unflattering photo attacked to article about her being found guilty. She looks a bit crazed, especially her eyes. She said she was looking for a place to charge her phone.
I guess she needed a charge due to live streaming the mob while inside the building. She later posted it on Facebook. She should have went back to where ever she was staying to charge her phone, rather than push the guards with others of the mob, to gain entrance to obstruct counting of electoral college votes.
Tristan Chandler Stevens, 27, from Pensacola, Florida was sentenced to 5 years in jail for his actions on J6. I wish I could share the images of this peaceful, sightseer.
He is one leading guys trying to overpower guards in Lower West Terrace Tunnel entrance. Their assault lasted for 90 minutes. Stevens took charge, co-ordinating the rioters, to count 1-2-3 heave ho. He took a guard's shield to use for more pushing leverage.
Capitol Police Sgt Aquilino Gonell, testified:
"...the mob yelling, screaming, chanting, the fire alarm going off, the sprinklers going off, the pepper spray, the bear spray, the WD-40 spray, the firecrackers being thrown at us, the weapons that they used, flagpoles, the heave-ho push movement, back and forth,”
He was unable to defend himself being pinned by Steven's stolen shield.
Did Carlson's video show the guards leading the sightseers to the tunnel, and leave off the violence that followed? I thought not.
The ever faithful mawas post their pro-trump comments.
One named aint simply wrote: how many cops were executed that day?
Sara Carpenter , 53, a retired New York Police Officer was found guilty of two felonies and 5 misdemeanors for her involvement on J6 attack on government.
"I'm a fucking animal" "The breach was made. It needs to calm down now. Congress needs to come out. They need to certify Trump as president. This is our house."
She was pepper sprayed by guards inside the building. Has Carlson shared that bit of footage with his fans?
Tired of "this is our house" peeps. It is a government building, built for elected government officials to do their jobs. My son-in-law was inside recently with Army union, to petition Congress to pass a bill to help military to be allowed to do civil duty, not be forced to retire at a young age.
Jan. 6th the building was closed to the public, due to counting of electoral college votes. Tours can be arranged on days when it is open to public. It is not a 24/7 convenience store, people.
As reported by Judy L. Thomas of The Kansas City Star, Cale Douglas Clayton, 42, of Drexel Missouri pleaded guilty to two felony counts due to:
"assaulting, resisting or impeding officers; civil disorder; theft of government property; entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds; disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds; engaging in physical violence in a restricted building or grounds; and an act of physical violence within the Capitol grounds or buildings."
Things he shouted at guards:
“We are going to win. You don’t have enough for all of us. You might hit me once or twice. You might spray me with pepper spray. I don’t give a f---. There ain’t enough for millions of people here and you know it.”
“You guys realize your President told us to be here. Your President! Hey, how does that make you feel? You’re defying your own f------ country!...Are you a Patriot? Or are you a f------ yes man?” And “think about it. (Inaudible) the revolution. You ain’t gonna stop it. It’s already happening…You guys are just gonna be a little speed bump along the way.”
He picked up a police baton from the floor, took a police shield, when officer tried to take the baton, he grabbed officer's face mask pushing him backwards. Yet, he claims he was just trying to return baton to guard.
Just another peaceful sightseers on J6, eh. Does not matter how many of them cite djt, he is still allowed to run for president again. Shameful.
THE MAN WHO WENT TO CHICAGO by Richard Wright
Christopher Maurer, 45 "abandoned his rental home" in Biddeford and appeared to be living out of his vehicle. He was arrested two years after participating in J6 riot.
It is reported he said "it never happened, " but did not enter a plea. He is charged with grabbing an officer's shield when in tunnel of Capitol building. He left, returned 90 minutes late, cussing at guards, using obscene hand gestures, grabbed a metal pole and thrust it at guards.
Just another one of those peaceful, unarmed, tourists that djt loves and thinks are special. Blue lives did not matter to trump's army on J6.
Olivia Pollock and Joseph Hutchinson, Jonathan Pollock are missing. Olivia and Joseph accused of striking Capitol Guards, tampered and removed ankle monitors before running. Olivia and brother, Jonathan, like using flag poles to assault guards.
Jonathan helped Hutchinson use a fence to move guards back, to allow unobstructed access to officers, from others of the mob. Olivia, age 32, looks like an attractive young woman. Likes to throw punches at guards, and other violent acts.
Reading comments on the article, there are less hateful mawas than usual. "Barbara" comments several times about the "murder of unarmed woman." When an unarmed black person is killed by cops, they say: "should have obeyed orders." As if Tamir Rice could obey order within 3 seconds. Or John Crawford III had time to process that the men, suddenly appearing at Walmart aisle, shouting at him, were cops telling him "to drop the weapon."
Our brains do not respond that fast ~ imagine if you are shopping and suddenly men are yelling at you to drop a weapon you do not have. 3 seconds later, bam you are dead.
But poor Ashli who did not back out of window she was climbing through when officer tells her to halt. How would "Barbara" and Ashli's other champions, think the guard would know she was unarmed? That megaphone, could be used as a weapon.The mob pushing on door trying to gain entry into the restricted area of Congress? Guard did his job ~ protecting Congress people and the building.
She was there to storm the building to stop Congress from counting electoral college votes. A traitor to her military oath to defend; instead she attacks.
Other comments ~ typical ~ Democrats lie, slurs against liberals and media, false information. I wonder who these people are? Teens? Old white men and women? Somewhere in between? Uneducated? Gullible? Simply haters? Anti-American, pro-corrupt, trump? Sad.
Ron Johnson following trump's party line, said Biden is the cancer and should be removed.
Seems not so long ago peeps said you have to respect the office, when others dissed DJT. Do not like Biden, fine, but likening him to cancer is a low blow.
It is the gop who are like fast spreading, contagious disease. They get worse by the day.
"Our Country is SICK inside, very much like a person dying of Cancer. The Crooked FBI, the so-called Department of 'Justice,' and 'Intelligence,' all parts of the Democrat Party and System, is the Cancer. These Weaponized Thugs and Tyrants must be dealt with, or our once great and beautiful Country will die!!!" ~ DJT
Chris Carnell, and friend, David Worth Bowman, were part of group chat with Aiden Henry Bilyard discussing plans to attend the Stop the Steal rally in D.C. on J6. Aiden is the man who used pepper spray on guards.
Bowman is reported saying that when he and Carnell got into the building, they had no agenda, did not know what to do. 'like we are in here … like uh … we're a dog, we caught the car, we don't know what to do.'"
Tucker Carlson unwittingly described DJ Trump in his March 2, 2023 monologue.
"...you always imagine in your mind’s eye that it’s evil men who destroy society — wild-eyed spit-flecked dictators pounding the podium, to demand the annihilation of their enemies...
...in real life, people like that rarely get very far. They’re too obvious. It’s not the cartoon demons you’ve got to worry about. It’s weak men in positions of power.
...they’re the most dangerous. Men with no principles but the desire for self-preservation. Hollow men who live in terror of being revealed for who they really are, men who will do anything to save themselves. That’s who you should be afraid of.
...sad, insecure, broken men filled with envy and bitterness from their lonely childhoods.
...They hate you because they hate themselves."
He needs to change "you" to "I" and "they" to "I", "their" to "mine."
Wild-eyed, split-flecked sounds like M.T. Greene to me, although I never heard the phrase "spit-flecked." Seems it is not in the dictionary. Closed meaning is spittle-flecked ~ when one is so angry, shouting causes spit to exit the mouth.
Trump routinely called for annihilation of his perceived enemies. He is a man of zero principles; does anything to 'save' himself. "I take no responsibility at all." His grandiose ego might come from being insecure. Or from being indulged and spoiled as a child. His lonely childhood may have created fantasies seeing himself as an astronaut, cowboy gunslinger, boxer, and firefighter.
What he could not achieve in real life, he achieved by selling 8" digital pictures of himself dressed up as his fantasy self. Envy, bitter, aptly describes Trump to a T.
A man of no principles who had uncanny ability to sell his lies and gain loyalty. His MAWAs willing to break laws to keep him in power illegally. That is the most dangerous type of person to hold power.
Tucker Carlson is suffers from mad delusions.
State Sen. Jason Brodeur, GOP, has introduced a Bill in Florida that would prosecute bloggers who write about elected officials like Ron De Santis.
"If a blogger posts to a blog about an elected state officer and receives, or will receive, compensation for that post, the blogger must register with the appropriate office, as identified in paragraph..."
Did not the First Amendment prohibit laws abridging freedom of speech or the press? It is my understanding that states can not make laws that violate federal laws. I do not earn money from my blog due to no readers.
Does the proposed law apply to non-Florida resident Bloggers? What about a Canadian Blogger? The Bill is way too long and complicated for me to read it all ~ a lot about advertising properties for sale before getting to the part deciding we, the people, do not have the right o redress government for grievances.

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.
An old Reader's Digest joke:
Journalist asks elderly man, "You come everyday to the wall, sir, how long have you done that, and what are you praying for?"
He replies: "I have come here to pray everyday for 25 years. In the morning I pray for world peace and brotherhood of man. I go home, have a cup of tea, and I come back and pray for the eradication of illness and disease from the earth.
And very, very important, I pray for peace and understanding between the Israelis and the Palestinians."
Journalist is impressed. "How does it make you feel to come here everyday for 25 years to pray for those wonderful things?"
The man replies calmly: "Like I'm talking to a wall." (Or a brick wall!)
Alabama Rep. Ernie Yarbrough new legislation, Abolish Abortion in Alabama Act, calls for labeling abortion, homicide, and charging women with murder.
Another dumb Republican who is clueless about non-viable pregnancies and D & C's. So, if a female's pregnancy aborts itself (such as in ectopic pregnancy) the poor girl or woman might face murder charges, needing to prove she did not cause the abortion?
Alaska Rep Dave Eastman was censured for reportedly saying:
"In the case where child abuse is fatal, obviously it’s not good for the child, but it’s actually a benefit to society because there aren’t needs for government services and whatnot over the whole course of the child’s life."
The best Yahoo comment to the article:
BBagwinds:
Good example of Republican "family values and fiscal responsibility": "Ban abortion to ensure they're born, then let them be beaten to death to ensure none of my tax dollars goes to their support." Sadism at its finest.
Naime wrote:
Totally bonkers (who voted against this?), but Chelsea Clinton said something similar about the benefits of abortion helping the economy, but didn't get this type of response by the media.

I do not know if Chelsea said that. Yet if Naime remembers, it must have gotten media attention. If Chelsea said it, she would be correct. A baby born with birth defects has little chance of being adopted (except perhaps in cases of abusers who want an easy target?) ~ kept in foster care until they age out at 18, with no family or resources become homeless?
And often those children farmed out to families who only foster due to getting paid, the kids get abused. Always better for all if females and their doctors make the decision to terminate.
Capitol rioter Daryl Johnson and his son, Daniel of Austin, Minnesota, were charged with entering the Capitol through a shattered window and at one point allowing more rioters to enter by rushing a group of police officers who were trying to hold a door to the building shut.
Prior blog post showed Daryl Johnson being arrested again. Great role model.
Patrick Edward McCaughey III held a shield pinning Officer Daniel Hodge in between steel doors. I do not see that I posted about him previously. I have a note saying that he holds dual citizenship with U.S. and Germany. Deport him, I say.
26-year-old Tristan Chandler Stevens of Pensacola, Florida was convicted of 9 offenses, and 63-year-old David Mehaffie of Kettering, Ohio, was convicted of 4 offences relating to J6.
“Mehaffie hung from an archway and shouted direction from above, and McCaughey and Stevens were key players in the melee below,” federal prosecutors said. The three encouraging those reluctant to enter the building to do so.
The Trump appointed judge acquitted them of obstruction charges, although they most definitely obstructed Congress when they violently entered the building, attacking guards ~ inside and out.
"this is our 1776 moment" U.S. Representative, Jody Hicks Jan. 2021
I understand that Hicks later removed his Tweet, and claimed he was misunderstood. Yet, if you read the "Return of 1776" it is clear, Hicks should be impeached.
Do these people really want to destroy the country they were elected to hold office; violate their oath of office to protect and defend, against enemies? They are the enemies.
Today's world is so much more advanced than when colonists rebelled against the British. Tobacco users definitely have taxation without representation; but basically lawmakers worked to make the U.S. of A. be of, for and by all people, not just heterosexul white men. (If any of those who wrote The Constitution, they would have been deep in "the closet".
We, the non-Christians enjoy freedom to worship or not. The gun lovers like their well-regulated militias. The uglies use freedom of speech as it was not intended to be uses. Just read some Yahoo comments or listen to the former guy's vulgar, crude, rude, language.
So what do these peeps want to change about the government they rule?
Jessica Watkins ~ Oath Keeper
“Yeah. We stormed the Capitol today,” she wrote. “Teargassed, the whole, 9. Pushed our way into the Rotunda. Made it into the Senate even. The news is lying (even Fox) about the Historical Events we created today.”
“...underestimate the resolve of the Deep State. Biden may still yet be our President. If he is, our way of life as we know it is over. Our Republic would be over. Then it is our duty as Americans to fight, kill and die for our rights.”
Unarmed Garret Miller arrived at trumps Jan. 6, 2021 rally with a rope, a grappling hook, a mouth guard and a bump cap. I wonder what he needed those things for to attend a rally? Perhaps preparation for storming the "Winter Palace?"
Garret, age 36, was sentenced to 36 months in prison for assaulting officers, in and outside the Capitol Building. He left Texas to travel to D.C. to stop the verification of the election.
He posted on a comment made by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on social media, that read Impeach, "Assassinate AOC" on Jan. 6th, 2021. I do not know if he could have used his rope and grappling hook to drag the senator to the gallows built outside the building to assassinate her.
But if he had found her, no telling what he and the other rioters would have done to her. He also used Social Media to threaten Senator Schumer, Zuckerberg, and Jack Dorsey. 36 months is not long enough for a man who is known to violence against officers of the law.
People make threats, they have no intention of following through with, to express anger. This man traveled from Texas to D.C. intending to do harm. A danger to society.
I do not approve of name calling, but Marjorie Taylor Greene is empty headed, so Empty Greene seems to fit.
Not completely empty; her mind is filled with hateful things. And what she can do to bring attention to herself, such as parading around the halls carrying a white balloon to mock President Biden. Or wearing white fur coat indoors. Her head it full of conspiracy theories and screwball ideas.
She now wants to divorce Red States from Blue States, due to liberals spoon feeding wokeness on citizens. Despise the use of the word woke to mean anything other than waking up in the morning. I woke up with a hangover.
Citizens partition their reps to do things they want to be done. So that CINOs wanted to outlaw abortions, GOP got them outlawed. LGBT want things, such as right to marry, they petition the lawmakers to get it done.
MT Greene and the rest need to wake up to the tangled web they created for women who need emergency treatment for miscarriage, for one. Doctors refusing a DNC could cost a woman her life. They do need to wake up! Of be woke.
Grates on my nerves to hear elected reps using that word: woke. Talk like an adult, not a whatever generation changed the meaning. So cringe.
---
What is wrong with divorcing states? A) there are blue or green or Libertarians living in "red states." What if they do not want to leave the state where they were born and lived their entire lives. Or, can not afford to do?
B) Take a look at 1975 Electoral Map ~ California was red; Texas was blue. So what happens, Ms. Greene, when red states become blue or blue becomes red? Do you sunset it ~ vote on remarriage or new divorce every 4 years?
---
Scary so many citizens are right there with her wanting another civil war. Nutty people. It is not like south against north anymore. Do we build a wall around Texas after divorce to keep them from entering the U.S. of A. without a passport? Do we allow them to use interstate highways paid for by the U.S. of A. funds?
Kelly Meggs posted on his Faceboook page:
"Trump said It’s gonna be wild!!!!!!! It’s gonna be wild!!!!!!! He wants us to make it WILD that’s what he’s saying. He called us all to the Capitol and wants us to make it wild!!! Sir Yes Sir!!! Gentlemen we are heading to DC pack your shit!!
---
Why has he not been indicted? Why is he allowed to run for president again? Why did the GOP fail to impeach? He should know about government corruption, he is part of it.
Imagine if he does not get the GOP nomination ~ will he scream "fraud," and call for his loyal gaga Mawas to revolt again? Or if he gets the bid, and loses the general election ~ again? With Empty Greene and his boy Bannon running the next insurrection, promised to be armed.
WTF is wrong with the GOP! It seems this is what they want. To be on the losing side of their instituted new civil war or "return of 1776?"
Inflation
Did not share an old Facebook "memory" post about inflation.
Girl Scout cookies cost 23 cents per box of 44 cookies in 1960 ~ minimum wage was $1.00
Federal minimum wage is $7.25; the cookies cost $5.00 a box and have 14 cookies.
Or in 1960 a minimum wage worker would work 1 hour to buy 4 boxes of cookies; today that 1 hour can only buy one box ~ and get a lot less cookies in today's economy.
---
My first tax paying job, I was paid, I think, 75 cents an hour. It was part time, in 1964. When I made that post, I did look up how much the cookies cost in 1960 & would think I did the same for minimum wage.
Even after I went full time after graduating high school, I do not remember $1.00 an hour. Wish I had saved some paystubs. I worked in retail department store in the office, and earned 10 cents an hour more than the sales floor teens my age.
2022/2023 complaints about inflation ~ I wonder how much those smaller, less tasty boxes of girl scout cookies cost now.
Matthew Jason Beddingfield, age 22 of North Carolina pleaded guilty to assaulting resisting or impeding officers, 30 days after his arrest, a judge ordered him released from jail. Prosecutors said he" had a penchant for matching violent words with violent acts.” At the time he was on 2 years probation for assault with a deadly weapon, for shooting a 17-year-old in the head.
Now, how can a person who is on probation, be let out of jail after being arrested for more violence?
It is reported that he was on of the first rioters to jump over a barricades, attack officers with flagpole and threw a metal rod at them. Once inside he marched around, joining a skirmish thrusting his flagpole at officer's shield.
He is known to be anti every non-white, non-Christian, non-heterosexual citizens.
In text messages from his phone, He wished members of those groups a violent end, and also expressed desire to inflict violence or death on them.
I do hope when he is sentenced the next judge gives him a long jail sentence. He was also arrested for drunk driving after his J6 violence.
Daniel Rodriguez, 42 of California pleaded guilty to J6 charges.
"Rodriguez tased Fanone twice in the back of his neck, after the then-D.C. police officer was dragged into the crowd by rioters. Fanone suffered a minor heart attack and a traumatic brain injury in the attack and later resigned from the police force."
Kyle Young and Albuquerque Head also are serving prison time for assaulting Fanone. Thomas Sibick pleaded not guilty and is awaring trial.
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.
I might have to download the PDF document to read it all.
It is plans to "Storm the Winter Palace," preparation January 1 to January 5; Jan. 6 Execution Day. There is a list of government buildings and map circling their locations. The document has a form to fill out ~ listing manpower assignments.
"These are OUR buildings. They are just renting space."
I did not know that presidents and Congress people rent space in their place of business. The White House was not built for the people, it was built for president to live. In addition to it being his (and his family) home, it is where he conducts presidential business.
Imagine if he lived "downtown" or in nearby Delaware, Maryland; when the country is attacked on a weekend. All departments of Federal government have offices in the White House.
So some ignorant person decided the Capitol building (and the other 6 or so listed) belong to citizens, the J6 rioters believe they have the right to go inside to stop the counting of electoral college votes?
Erika Flores, lady friend of Enrique Tarrio, provided him with a copy of "1776 Returns" written by Samuel Armes. She pleaded the Fifth when subpoenaed in May.
I did not know that people could plead the Fifth to a subpoena.
Armes claims he "did some 'war-gaming' about what might happen if a sitting president refused to leave office after the election." That Flores took his rough outline and created the "1776 Returns" document.
It mentioned the Winter Palace, and a plan to storm government buildings. Ashli Babbitt posted about the "storm coming" so perhaps that is where the idea was generated. I think she is among others who texted, posted, shouted, "the storm is HERE!"
I have not yet checked link to "1776 Returns" to read the document. Some government office also claimed "this is our 1776." Those people who applauded the J6 riot, refused to impeach DJT, need to be removed from Congress.
It is odd they are part of the government they want to overthrow. But I guess they would expect high appointments in a trump dictatorship.
Andrew Alan Hernandez, 45, "entered the building via the East Rotunda Door, which was forced open, then milled about with others who had breached the Capitol."
He posted on social media before entering the building: “They are trying to steal the vote and will perfect and protect their fraudulent voting system when in power.” Hernandez is among 6 other Riverside County, California residents to be charged in J6 insurrection.
Kevin Strong, 46, ~ 24 months in prison for picketing inside the building.
Rafael Valadez Jr., 43, same charge, 30 days in prison due o plea bargain.
Derek Kinnison, 41, of Lake Elsinore, Felipe Antonio Martinez, 49, of Lake Elsinore, Ron Mele, 53, of Temecula, and Erik Scott Warner, 47, of Menifee are awaiting sentencing. (as of Jan. 30, 2023)
Bruno Cua, 20, is among those who forced themselves into the Capitol building on J6. He also shoved a guard to the ground. So much for peaceful tourist visit, eh.
Many angry MAWA comments on articles that report arrests, or sentences of the rioters. Typical "What about BLM who burned down cities?"
Today, a person upped it to "burned down the whole country." A lot of foul language. One very long post from Michelle, was full of false info, including biased media. I spent much of the summer of 2020 hospitalized and not up on those riots.
I am sure the news reports at that time mentioned the numbers of people arrested on the same day they rioted. Unlike the J6 rioters who basically went home, to be arrested at later dates. BLM, antifa, other Alt Right riots, the police were well-prepared to deal with the mobs. J6 guards were not; outnumbered by the mob.
Daryl Johnson, 52 was sentenced to 30 days for participation in J6 attack on government. He and his son, Daniel (who was sentenced to 4 months) were charged with entering the Capitol through a shattered window and at one point allowing more rioters to enter by rushing a group of police officers who were trying to hold a door to the building shut.
Daryl's new charge is "invasion of privacy" by using his cellphone to film a woman in tanning booth. The salon is registered to an entity owned by his father, former St. Ansgar Mayor mayor. The family owns 9 laundromats, a car wash in addition to the salon.
Daryl's reason for going to D.C. on J6 was anger that some of his properties were damaged during George Floyd riots.
Thomas B. Adams has no regrets "I wouldn't change anything I did," it is reported that he told a journalist. He was in the building but did not leave because "no one told him specially to leave the building" on J6.
Adams told The State Journal-Register "I didn't do anything. I still to this day, even though I had to admit guilt (in the stipulation), don't feel like I did what the charge is.
"I was never asked to get out until a group of officers came on the Senate floor and told everybody in there it was time to go. We all lined up and walked out."
He was found guilty of obstructing an official proceeding, aiding and abetting others in committing said obstruction. Also guilty of misdemeanor charge of remaining in building.
If they had not stormed the building, the count would have continued. (obstructing) Congressional business resumed 4 hours later, keeping Congress people (and staff) working until 3AM. He knows he was in the building, on Senate floor, no Congress people there,yet did not do anything?
It is reported that Kevin Seefried, age 53, tearfully apologized, saying he never wanted to send a message of hate to anyone. He carried a Confederate flag to the Stop the Steal rally on J6. He and his son climbed through a broken window. Prosecutors claim Kevin was the 12th person to illegally enter the Capitol building.
Inside Kevin jabbed at guard with the end of the flagpole, using it as a weapon. He was part of the group that chased guard up stairs. The officer lead the rioters away from chambers where VP Pence and Senators were being evacuated. Goodman testified that Seefried asked where members of Congress were counting the votes and said “You can shoot me, man, but we’re coming in.”
His son, Hunter Seefried, then age 22 was sentenced to two years in prison.
Seefried claims he did not know that the Confederate flag is considered a symbol of racism. I guess he also did not know that it is an Anti-American symbol, representing southern states that did not want to be part of the U.S. of A. Seems to me his tears are that he is going to jail. Even 22 year old son should know the south lost the civil war.
Brian Scott McGee, a former member of the Missouri National Guard was arrested and charged with misdemeanor offenses relating to J6.
He was in the building for under 2 minutes and spoke to Jeremy Christian Harrison.
Harrison from Florida was also arrested on same charges.
"McGee said that he heard people in the crowd saying that U.S. Capitol police officers were allowing people to enter the U. S. Capitol building. He observed four or five U.S. Capitol police officers wearing riot gear gesture for people to enter the U.S. Capitol and fist bumping them as they walked by.”
Video does not support his claim.
McGee said he and a 3rd man met online. Harrison said they met McGee at Crystal City Marriott in Washington. (I believe writer meant Washington DC)
Harrison also thought guards were blocking one area, while directing those who entered the building to go another way. When he heard "chaos" and screaming, like, McGee, he left the building.

3rd man's name was redacted from affidavit. (writer said "charging document)

These two guys suddenly realized they had to leave the building. I wonder if they still support the man who sent them there?
Daniel Lyons Scott, 29. of Bradenton, Florida plead guilty to multiple charges for his part in J6 riot. The Proud Boy member goes by his nickname, Milkshake. He looks like he consumed a lot of them, along with a lot of chicken wings, steaks, burgers, beers.
"Scott helped lead a charge against law enforcement that ultimately led to the rioters gaining access to the interior of the Capitol building."
He faces up to 28 years in prison. Of course judges have been giving slap on the wrist lenient sentences. Dangers to the U.S. of A. ~ trump still leading them to do more violence. I would not trust them to be free.
Jason Farris, age 44, of Arlington Texas:
*hit the baton of officer holding bike rack
*other rioters grabbed one of the bicycle racks and tried to pull it away
*Farris shoved an officer in the back with both hands, knocking him to the ground
*the others pulled the bike rack away from guards and carried it into the crowd

Why do mawas keep saying it was a) not a riot, b) peaceful protest, c) no violence?
'Cause Mawas are good #45 parrots, I imagine.
