For your amusement:  Biden and the left's hollow push to unite Americans.

Thanks for posting this article. You are correct. I saw very little, if any, coverage of this. The media is still in the left hand pockets of a lot of the dems and liberals

And of course there is this:

Why do you suppose that false claim was made?

Fear mongering and overstating for future reference and "evidence" aka impeachment.

Don't trust it. 

This from someone who uses Vanity Fair as a source.

A quote from the article you reference....

"Media and FBI reports have detailed carefully planned insurrection attempts scheduled throughout the country in the coming weeks at every state capital," federal prosecutors said in their briefing, warning of further violence.

Why is what the media says considered as evidence or reasoning for any legal proceeding? How does that work? "Mr. Smith. The NYT has a story that you murdered the entire state of Ohio. I sentence you to life without parole."

Can they ever be trusted again?

Can they ever be trusted again?

If by "they" you mean the media, yes. All they have to do is stop with the bias. Anyone who bothers to look can recognize it. Unfortunately, our public schools churn out minds designed to accept whatever the media puts out rather than be able to actually think about it. 

Unfortunately, our public schools churn out minds designed to accept whatever the media puts out rather than be able to actually think about it. 

That's been going on for a long time and when we look at who and what has been elected, we now see the results.

I can't seem to find it, but I recall somebody during the turbulent 60's proclaiming "We got your kids!"

I don't think it was Jane Fonda.

Your article is a Fox 'news' piece.  Don't trust it.

Don't trust what?  Are you saying that what happened in Portland didn't really happen?  Or is it just another one of those "mostly peaceful protests"?  Honestly, if we can't agree on what we can all plainly see from multiple sources and call it what it is, then trust is not the problem, willful ignorance is the problem.  Perhaps we should be questioning, or not trusting, those news/journalism sources who won't cover such events for one reason or another.

This is funny. You post an article where the MSM is keeping the public informed on the latest information while at the same time claiming that the media is in the pocket of the progressive liberal left. They published this story to correct the record and to present factual data in a timely manner. 

Why do you suppose that false claim was made?

Probably because a lot of bat-shit crazy people were storming the Capitol, some of them chanting, "Hang Mike Pence," and and other atrocious things so they thought that their might have been. Why else? You will note the retraction request was made by federal prosecutors. I really can't see the point of asking the question other than to stoke conspiracy theories. Of course, I am sure that you can explain. 

You post an article where the MSM is keeping the public informed

Are you claiming that the recent antifa riots were reported in the same fashion as the January 6th riot?  I'll bet that I could find many people who wouldn't even know that just days ago there were riots in Portland, Seattle and Denver.


Probably because

Probably because the leftist ideologues now in power want us to think that January 6th is synonymous with 9/11. Saying that officials knew their intent was to kill government officials was an outrageous lie to rum up support for the crackdown on Civil Liberties that immediately followed.

Are you claiming that the recent riots with a few hundred people attending at the most are anywhere near as significant as the January 6th riot at the Capitol?

Say yes and prove you are demented.

You can keep squawking and it only proves my point. 

Probably because the leftist ideologues now in power want us to think that January 6th is synonymous with 9/11.

Hahahahahaha. How about the righty-tighties who were in power when the charges were filed? 

Saying that officials knew their intent was to kill government officials was an outrageous lie

Again, no it wasn't. Why are you defending these POS rioters? I thought you condemned them? Oh, that is right, you are pursuing the false narrative that somehow our rights have been violated when you cannot show evidence of one instance of this that exists outside of your imagination.

Are you claiming

I am claiming that they were barely covered. Most people don't even know they happened.


Again, no it wasn't.

It is a fact and the proof is that you can't counter it. All you can do is chant "it ain't so.

It is a fact

Prove it.

I already have:

From the article:

Assistant U.S. Attorney Todd Allison said evidence of that may be presented at trial, but that he did not want the judge to base her detention decision on that assertion being true. 

Wrong. Do it again.

Come On, Vic. Not gonna let a little thing like reality get in the way are you?

The takeaway from public schools should be that you get out of it (school) what the expectations are that you will get out of it and  what the expectations are that you will put into it. Probably not the best way to word that but I am not going to fix it. People with high expectations placed upon them will perform at a higher level than people with low or no expectations placed upon them. 

The deterioration of the classic family unit without the replacement by some other type of structure has contributed, therefore, to the lowering of expectations on the students and the subsequent lowering of performance. At least this is my hypothesis. Societal changes such as increased divorce rates affect across the board. Disproportionately applied stressors such as arrests skew the numbers even further. I think that you will see this displayed if you look at the relative proportions of different segments of the population vs family incarceration rates and grades different grade levels through school. 

The long and short of this is that children now vs children of 50 years ago have lower expectations as a whole and therefore perform at some proportionately lower level. Sounds like a good hypothesis to investigate. 

He must tell his fellow democrats to stand down on idiotic impeachment.
He must tell his supporters to stop doxxing, blacklisting & threatening Trump staff.
He must condemn the censorship of conservatives

sorry, the US government doesn't negotiate with terrorists, foreign or domestic.

that labeling is beneath contempt in our country.  

They are doing that because "racist", "white supremist" and "deplorable", among many other labels that never worked because the left overused them. They have no meaning, as will the terms they are labeling us now, because they will label everyone that does not toe the liberal line these terms.

They don't learn.

when it was his domestic terrorists we needed to fear. . . 

Well, only, so far, in the northwest. Antifa and BLM have a mission to completely destroy liberal cities there because of Biden.

From The New York Times :

As President Biden calls for unity and calmer rhetoric, his presidency began with burned flags and federal agents deployed once again into the streets.

Poor Joe....Nobody really likes him.

But but but these were, according to the left's ongoing narrative, peaceful protests with outside agitators!!!

Attacking federal government buildings is okay again...

I don't think it had anything to do with George Floyd.

Now the question is - did any of them?

Why is unity such a dirty word to Trumpers and the rest of the lunitic groups he managed to coax out from under their rocks?

In sincerity, it's five years late and hypocritical due to those last five years. Why didn't they scream the same when all the bullshit was going on mostly AGAINST the Trump administration? At every damned turn. Why didn't they say "let's give this a chance and work together"? Because someone dared to come from outside into their sand box and didn't like their toys.

As a side note, my personal feelings about Mr. Biden is he is a cross between Mr. Obama and Mr. Jimmy Carter. Can't wait for his first apology tour to start...........although some of his EO's and EA's have gotten that ball rolling without so much as a jet engine being fired. I, again personally, am in wait and see mode............

Why is unity such a dirty word

Because it is empty and in this case a false claim. You don't claim you want to "unify" if you seek to punish and censor and call half the country "racist."

Why is unity such a dirty word to Trumpers and the rest of the lunitic groups he managed to coax out from under their rocks?

Without knowing who you define as a Trumpster I can only give you my opinion. It isn't that unity is a dirty word. It's that it is a meaningless one in the mouth of a politician. When a politician calls for unity they don't actually mean people coming together to solve a problem. What they actually mean is that they're going to do whatever it is they have planned and if the other side doesn't come along they'll be seen as spoilers and obstructionists for refusing unity.

In other words, they don't actually call for unity, they are prepositioning themselves politically, making it seem as if they want to work together with the other side when they don't actually care. That way, when the other side resists, they seem like the ones who are in the wrong for resisting "unity". 

Biden made a speech at the inauguration about unity. About being a president for all Americans. About wanting to work with Republicans to solve the nations problems. Then he immediately proved his real intentions in going forward when he signed those executive orders. His actions did not match his words but, instead, revealed his intent going forward. Specifically, he has a plan and he's going to do everything in his power to implement it regardless of what the opposition thinks, which in some cases, may even be his own party. 

Also, if you think about what unity would really mean, would you yourself be prepared for that? Because unity means either one of two things. Either it means the left and the right work to find some compromise position on the issues that divide us or it means, at this moment, all the Republicans switching to Democrat. How much compromise would you make on an issue like abortion? Trans people using the bathroom of their choice? Critical race theory? BLM? Medicare for all? 

Unity sounds fine but I don't think Biden actually means it, and certainly Dems like Pelosi do not. What Biden means by unity is that "hey, if we can just come together we can make my vision of America happen." Unity doesn't mean finding compromise with the other side. 

Look at what the Democrats are doing in Congress and Biden in the White House breaking all norms on EO's; it should be obvious.

Unity does not mean capitulation.

The Democrats and left can go pound sand for the next 4 years.

Why is unity such a dirty word

It isn't, unless it means actually coming together in the middle. Both sides portray themselves as the victims. Both sides portray their cause as the "Only righteous one." Both sides insist that moving towards the center of popular thought will start us down the slippery slope to gloom and doom and destruction defined as the "other side." They have both dug their trenches and will not leave them. It is like WWI all over again.

During the Obama Administration we could see this from the night of the 2008 election. Further evidence accrued during the government shutdowns, the absolute refusal of the one party to work with the other to solve problems rather than impose "solutions." The Trump Administration came in and ran roughshod over the systems that the country had built to protect the environment and all of the citizenry, largely by fiat. Now, in reaction to the past four years of destruction, the far left has joined the far right in caterwauling for their chance to be heard. Both should be at least listened to to the extent of getting their ideas out into the open. Then we can discuss them as adults, see which ideas are fair and just and which are unfair. But the clamor from the extremes needs to stop because it is a divisor, not at all a unifier. It's volume quite outways its popularity and the only reason that it has gravity is the undue influence of the primary system controlled by the two parties. That is the true reason we are divided and not united. 

The lefties will probably blame it on Q'Anon, Proud Boys, et al.

The only thing I found interesting about this dull article was this 

Biden wants unity? If true, he must make the first move:

He must tell his fellow democrats to stand down on idiotic impeachment.
He must tell his supporters to stop doxxing, blacklisting & threatening Trump staff.
He must condemn the censorship of conservatives

The article is superficially about "antifa"  damaging some property in Seattle and Portland, but in reality the real purpose of the article is to complain that everyone is being unfair and mean to Trump and Trumpism. 

There is nothing "idiotic" about impeaching Donald Trump. It is quite necessary. Likewise, his staff should be investigated when there is information that they may have broke laws by protecting their bosses misdeeds. If there is no information , they have nothing to worry about. 

Third, conservatives are only being censored if they are inciting riots or inciting violence. If they want to act like normal human beings and not those who think Democrats murder and eat babies then they can have "free" speech again. 

You're exaggerating and making stuff up...again.

If Biden and crew want unity and cooperation and be able get stuff done, they will have to make the first moves and apologize for their bad behavior the last four plus years .

We'll wait.

I am curious as to what consists of Biden's bad behavior these last four years...

then they can have "free" speech again. 

Exhibit A

John at least admits it.

Anyone else?

The media BS, aided by a deeply politicized FBI, was that far right goons would riot all over the country. None of that happened, instead the radical left again became violent, which has become the accepted norm.

There will be another WH Press Conference at 4PM.

The medical genius Dr Fauci will be there. Perhaps to tell us why the China bought & paid for World Health Organization is a good thing. The same organization that lied to us. Or maybe he will explain why we are failing at getting the vaccines out.






The good news is that WH correspondent Peter Doocy will also be there

So a group says they don't want Biden yet the piece then goes on to say it is up to Biden to get his supporters on board...

Ok....

Just read this am , that twitter has deleted and banned some accounts of ANTIFA/ personel in relation to the inauguration day protests, im sure some will want to go look that up.

very true , and when stationed in europe on the german border , the french belgian and dutch i encountered had many names they referred to the SS as blackshirts was one of the "nicer" names they were called . the different color uniforms/ blouses denoted the different groups(SA vs SS) within germany in the early and middle days of that government.( no doubt something they copied from italy)

i spent 84-85 there when there were still a number of old timers that lived through the war still alive , and spent a lot of off time listening to what they had to say and their opinions and memories of that war . of course i could not get away without them paying for a drink without insulting them , they spotted american GIs right off the bat , and i never had to say anything.
