The democrats feared Mike Pence would do his Constitutional duty to reject electors from PA, GA, AZ, WI, MI and remand back to respective state legislature to adjudicate the fraud. That could have overturned the 2020 election. The false insurrection with their Ray Epps plants stopped this even tho Pence wasn't going to do what he should have done. An insurance policy as Lisa Page's boyfriend would say

Pence was a fraud. Didn’t have the balls to do what was right.

Mike Pence is a squishy RINO just like the other squishy RINOs. We know what team he is on. He will never be president.

I am embarrassed he is from my state.

Carlson is a brave man, who unlike the Washington Post shows that Democracy does die in the dark. Thank you great read.

We should fear for his safety. He is a hero

I do.

The Nut, if you will, of what lies at the heart of Jan 6th, means exposing the IC’s illegal actions leading up to and throughout and since that days events.

We are most definitely talking David vs. Goliath here.

Pray much, and remember David’s words to the cowering army, “Is there not a cause?”

Tucker Carlson has undertaken a fearsome task. I wonder if he truly realizes that. After all, he is in the media bubble, whether he fully aligns with their narrative or not.

IMHO, he has an enormous responsibility and to shine the light on what really happened that day, and expose those who orchestrated it. Will he? I have my doubts.

Since people showed up on his front lawn to protest in the past I am pretty sure Mr. Carlson knows exactly what he is into.

We'll see. So far so good. But it did take him two years to acknowledge what happened in the 2020 election. He will need armed security, if he doesn't already have it.

He is a true patriot. He knows he’s on a one-way journey. John and Robert Kennedy along with Jeffrey Epstein had armed security. God bless him

Jan 6th was a CIA/ FBI orchestrated riot used to “discredit” the opposition to their desired outcome. This is what they have perpetrated in countless countries (Ukraine to name one), in order to control outcomes. The certification process to be held that day was the final phase of their “steal operation” bringing the fraudulent election of Joe Biden as President to a close.

They knew they were on the shakiest of ground and were afraid, because they knew that more than half of the country knew full well the election had been riddled with fraud. Making that half of the country appear to be the “enemy”, more-so “terrorists”, was essential to shutting down and shutting up ALL dissent. The subsequent round-up and jailing of citizens, some of whom never even went into the Capitol, even denying them Due Process, was meant to intimidate and terrorize the citizenry into compliance. At the same time, a massive “disinformation- canceling” program was being instituted throughout the MSM and social-media complex, again, orchestrated by the Intelligence Community.

It was a manufactured election and a manufactured “insurrection”. Yes, to crush Trump - most certainly. But much, much more importantly, to crush the very citizens of the country who would dare to defy them. It was a coup.

As Trump most accurately stated, “It’s not me they’re after: it’s you. I’m just in the way.”

110% correct!

EXACTLY! Remember that anyone in D.C. that rips Trump(media or UniParty) is not qualified to rip on him so don't listen to the narratives they generate.

There is a lot to take away here, but I am fascinated lately by wording: "present offensive and misleading conclusions about the attack." Notice the word "conclusions." If you watched the episode, you would notice that what Tucker did was not present "a conclusion" but present evidence that undercut previous "conclusions," the "approved" ones. "Conclusions" are only "good" or "bad" based on a single criterion: are they based on evidence? They cannot be offensive or misleading unless you can prove they were not based on evidence, but no one angry at Tucker Carlson tries to prove they weren't (other than saying "cherry picked," which is exactly what I would say of the J6 committee).

He was very careful to do that too.

What angers me most is that Congressional RINOs have mostly ignored all of the innocent people swept up in the J6 Insurrection fantasy and denied their basic Constitutional rights for purely political reasons.

Expand full comment

And we have to ask why that is. MTG has taken up their case from the beginning and I have read that Trump has paid for some legal fees and helped families with expenses and mortgages. If he is elected the first thing he must do is free the J6 prisoners.

Mitch is the worst of them. I still hope he gets over his fall, those are scary. At the same time I hope he doesn't go back to the senate.

Great column again, Don. Either the law is the same for everyone or we have become a nation of men, not laws. If the laws do not restrain all lawbreakers then the law is doubly an ass. Any rule that applies to citizens either applies to Congress and its staffers (aren't they citizens?) or it shouldn't be a law. Any circumstance involving citizens and any law enforcement should result in the same results. If money can get someone off for a clear violation, then the regulation, law, or ordinance should be thrown out. The people who make laws must be made to abide by that law, too. No exceptions.

Today Africa News is the voice of reason and sanity. The mainstream media are complicit in all of the criminal behavior performed by the swamp.

Expand full comment

Yes, Africa News is a serious publication. Tucker interviewed Simon Ateba recently and Ateba outlined his struggles to get to America. Ateba is a real hero. Imagine his dismay once getting to the land of the free, to see American journalists act like they write for Pravda.

I was very glad to see Tucker take up the case of Jacob Chansley last night. We know him as the Q Anon Shaman, Chewbacca, or as he and his mother prefer, America's Shaman. Evidence was withheld from his lawyer that Tucker showed on Monday night that could have helped his case. The poor man, who is a Navy veteran with mental health issues, was essentially escorted around by the Capitol Police. He did nothing wrong. He was not violent. Like with the other J6 prisoners, this is all political not to mention unconstitutional. It is very, very sad to America function this way where justice is not blind. All of this was planned and calculated with the ultimate goal of getting rid of Trump. I honestly do not know how you, as Americans, can right the ship. But surely this cannot go on.

Important piece, Donald. I would have chosen both in your poll.

"The key to Pravda — the Soviet version of propaganda — was not to get people to believe it, but to get people to stop following the news." Very true.

I would have never imagined this could happen in the United States of America, but it is and right before our eyes.

It infuriates me that Kevin McCarthy released the January 6th videos to Fox News, the network that was all in on the 2020 steal. The carefully curated snippets that Tucker Carlson is allowed to air after going through Murdoch’s legal department are a distraction meant to appease the MAGA base. The Shaman strolling along with a police escort followed by Carlson’s scoldings - what an insult. Where is the footage from every camera angle of Ashli Babbitt being murdered and Rosanne Boyland being beaten and dragged through the corridors? I don’t watch Fox and I don’t need the media to filter through the video for me.

The Speaker and every Republican congressman needs their phone lines melted down until all the footage is released to the public. The leadership of both parties was in on this insurrection scam and they will use every means to hide it from us. I want to see the footage of every politician present and their actions on that day because there lies the truth behind J6.

Expand full comment

Hopefully the Babbitt murder video is coming. Maybe the grand finale. End the series with a literal bang.

Expand full comment

Yes, and the Rosanne Boyland video as well. I saw 4 different videos taken from 3 different angles, and it was a black Capitol policeWOMAN who was VICIOUSLY beating her to death, and then the next day the DC Medical Examiner cremated her body and declared her death a drug overdose. If America saw the video of that beating, all hell would break loose.

Expand full comment

I don't know why Tucker hasn't shown it, but he did describe what he saw. Possibly out of respect to her family he isn't showing it. After all, it is a murder. Do we really need to see that? I don't think I would watch that, but it's not up to me.

Expand full comment

Yes, yes we do - very much so. People were murdered that day. It should be front and center.

Expand full comment

That’s my concern too, that TC’s snippets will be highly selective and dodge the true facts of what happened that horrible day.

If he’s willing to go the distance God knows what he is up against.

If he doesn’t go the distance he’s toast. Either way he’s in it for real now. No turning back.

Watch and listen to Tucker Carlson while you can. He is impressive and the only person I watch. At 86, I may not even see the 2024 election, much less who occupies the POTUS after that, and the mendacity and - yes - incompetence I see from our government is so massively disappointing to me that I prefer to not pay attention to it, rather focus on my QTR (quality time remaining). Orphaned early, having raised myself to upper middle class, earning a PhD in Economics, I know evil when I see it. Hell is coming for those people, one way or another.

Well, you have heard the comment, "Hang together or we will hang separately." Never, until now, have I believed such might literally become true in the USA that I was born into, served, and raised a family within. At present, that immediate family includes five great-grand children and I grieve for their future - especially the two males.

I feel that the more we unite, the better off we will be. They are trying to get us to separate, give up and go away. Our country is worth fighting for.

The thing that confuses me the most is that anyone on the left refuses to acknowledge the truth. They are afraid of it. Look at every leftist news source and all they do is lie. That anyone who watches CNN or The View, to name a couple, is clearly insane--they cannot reason and they belong in anything such as an asylum so they cannot infect the rest of the world. That includes that walrus Whoopi Goldberg, who has had seven abortions and been married ten times. How could anyone listen to what this ugly pig has to say ?? Most of who watch that program are people fairly well off. I rid myself of my TV and haven't watched TV in over 10 years.

And who makes up the rest of these groups ? Your panhandlers. If anyone ever talked to them as I do, you would know that they have no interest in improving their lives and that is why I give them nothing. Besides, they all come from money. If you doubt what I am saying, look at their shoes and yes, they all have cell phones as well.

Just how many panhandlers have you talked to and where? Not all street people are panhandlers; not all panhandlers are street people. Beggars here in Memphis can make a better living than I do!

Anywhere I have lived have I dealt with Panhandlers, bums, street people and the homeless, but why make that difference. They have all basically dropped out and given up on life. That's their choice, not mine.

What makes me mad is most of these unfortunates collect some kind of Government assistance and that is where most of the money used for street drugs come from. End these BS assistance payments and you will end homelessness.

They do where I live too. A van drops the non-street ones and sometimes their bikes off every morning, picks them up every night. Then they rotate corners all summer so it doesnt look like the same ones. makes ya mad. They pay no taxes and make a better living.

Tucker's other accomplishment with the J6 footage is to show what side elected politicians are on. Unsurprisingly, a number of Republicans have no interest in the J6 footage and think it was a travesty that it was released to Tucker. Tucker noted that these folks are all on the same team and that they are all liars.

The City-State of Washington, DC, controls the levers of power over the entire USA. And the votes inside DC are controlled by the Highest Bidder. And the Highest Bidder, foreign or domestic, isn't going to tolerate dissent. And remember, the Highest Foreign Bidder, is often using money voted and sent to them by the DC insiders.

It's a Republic and you can't keep it.
