Does this make sense?

Some judge ruled that one of the insurrectionists had to stay in jail because Donald Trump was still inciting violence?

The Judge was fearful that he would still listen to Trump so he denied his release.

It's time.

It's time for the Justice Dept to investigate the election shenanigans going on in Arizona.

We hear today that they have plans of doing another recount. They don't even know where the ballots are. It is election fraud and the Justice Dept needs to find out who is behind is, who is paying the money, and who is calling the shots.

They need to crack down on this fraud right now. They should send an investigative team to Arizona and find out what is going on? Investigate the Cyber Ningas.

There is no need for them to sit on their thumbs any longer.

This has gone on far too long.

How do we fix this mess?

Bill Barr is long gone but the damage he did to our Justice Department is still being assessed.

The present Attorney General, Merrick Garland, stepped into an impossible situation. After the violent and seditious act of January 6th, his job became even more difficult.

Our nation is in an existential crisis, in my opinion. There are many sociological factors at play. For example, how do we define the new work force? How do we pay them? How do we manage the wealth created by our economy? How much should be applied to personal wealth and how much should be applied to social advancement? There are many issues.

But the issue at the forefront, in my opinion, is whether or not justice is applied equally in our society, rich or poor, black or white, powerful or powerless. This is the issue that haunts the nation at this time in our history, in my opinion.

Where should we begin to fix it? It is proper and appropriate that the FBI is arresting those that attacked our Capitol on January 6th, with no grievance other than that they were angry because their guy lost. Nothing else.

In my opinion, the Justice Department needs to charge someone other than the useful idiots that attacked our Capitol. They need to go after the leaders of the conspiracy. An indictment would send a strong message to those Americans that are skeptical that justice will ever be done? The message is more important than a conviction at this time, in my opinion.

Until the previous Administration is held accountable, there can be no healing for this country. The idea of justice is dying. The Justice Department should act now, without regard to political consequences. There are people that need to be indicted for various crimes, including sedition and incitement to insurrection. They will maintain the right to prove their innocence.

The American people would be well-advised to awaken from their slumber ...

...if they wish to keep their country.

Every American should be advised to put their partisan politics in a safe and lock it away until we come out of this crisis.

They need to read. They need to compare the facts with what they are being told. They need to think on their own. They need to shut down the threatening propaganda.

Also, they need to understand that they are being manipulated and used by the politicians on their "team". Nobody gives a whit about them. It is about power.

No one is permitted to plead ignorance when everyone is on the deck. Do not expect forgiveness or understanding when the very worst visits your doorstep.

America has been warned. They will live with their mistakes for the rest of their lives. And it will not be pretty or comfortable.

"They are not our adversaries. They are not our political opponents. They are our enemy."

Mark Levin, on KVOR Radio, 5:30 PM - 7-8-2021

"They know who they are. I know who they are", he continued.

We should not under-estimate how serious these people are.

Is it any wonder weaker-minded people are attacking our country and our institutions?

These people are not our friends.

It is a very disturbing time.

The Arrogance of Republicans

Do they actually believe the Democrats are going to forget about what happened on January 6th?

Do they truly think the majority of Americans will believe their "Big Lie"?

Do they believe they can sweep such a traitorous act under the rug and pretend it never happened?

The sooner they come to their senses, the better it will be for them.

They believe they can ride the "Big Lie" thru the next election. And that is the most important event for them.

There is going to be a reckoning. They need to understand that reality.

The Democrats and the majority of the American people will not be fooled by their arrogant disregard for the truth.

Fool me once, shame on you - Fool me twice, shame on me.

Trump supporters should be very ashamed.

The "Big Lie" about the stolen election was not the first time they have been fooled.

They were fooled by Trump's other Big Lie that Barack Obama was not born in America. He told them that Obama was born in Kenya. Even after Obama made his birth certificate public, Trump said it was a fake. He said he had investigators in Hawaii that were getting to the truth and everyone was going to be surprised.

And his supporters believed him then, also. There appears to be no limit to the number of times they can be "fooled"?

Continuing faith in humanity.

It is difficult to maintain faith in our fellow man when they are trying to destroy everything you stand for, to the point of killing you, if necessary. It is understandable why anyone would be angry at such despicable acts. They have not one iota of respect for their fellow man. They cultivate hatred.

It is disappointing, to say the least, when half of the country accepts the lies that can destroy our country and our way of life. They have no appreciation of democracy or freedom. They are greedy, inconsiderate people.

It hurts the soul to think that there are so many of them and they are a danger to everyone who does not believe the same as them.

You can die, for all they care.

I grieve for my country.

Is incitement to insurrection and talk of sedition the same as "free speech"?

Are there not limits to free speech?

Just what is the definition of "free speech"?

Were Trump, Rudy, Don Jr, Mo Brooks, et al practicing "free speech" on the day of the insurrection? Or were they inciting violence?

I would think FB and Twitter would have a very good argument at keeping him off their platforms?
