Two thumbs up!

Anyone who fails to see the truth of Jan. 6 is delusional in the extreme.

Another name for a man without shame, one more familiar in American parlance, is Sociopath. Without a doubt, Trump's actions on January 6, as well as the more recent backstory of what was going on at the Ellipse, confirms Trump's Sociopathy. He remains a danger to Democracy, if this is not recognized by Justice.

Obviously, we all should be thankful we live in a country founded on principles of freedoms unmatched in world history and a Constitution which affirms our government exists to serve “We the People”. And among our most cherished freedoms is the freedom of speech. I never fathomed our freedom of speech would be as threatened as it has been the last few years.

As an adjunct to our right of free speech, our press has not served us well in providing information that is untainted by certain political narratives and biases. A biased media is a dangerous threat to our democracy. Reporting of news must not carry with it censorship or biased reporting. Unfortunately, with respect to a number of vital current issues, the press has failed miserably in its duty to provide facts, not ideologically tainted “facts”. By way of example, stories related to issues with the 2020 election will invariably be reported as “false” or “fraudulent”. Interestingly, while this description is applied to any questioning of the 2020 election, it was not and is not applied to issues raised by the Clinton campaign regarding the 2016 election. In fact, one of the reasons for the January 6 Committee is to continue to bury the verifiable evidence of systemic violations of election law, illegal voting and constitutionally deficient execution of election laws in 2020. The January 6 Committee wants to stifle any discussion of issues concerning the 2020 Election.

For those denying there were issues with the 2020 election, I would urge you to read the February 8,2021 article in Time Magazine by Molly Ball which outlines how the 2020 election was won by a powerful and well funded cabal who helped change voting rules, steered media coverage and controlled information. Despite substantial evidence of election problems in a handful of key states, there is not only a lack of interest by most of the Press to pursue this evidence, but anyone raising 2020 election problems is branded as spreading false information or worse. You are a “denier”, similar to labels given to those who question the politicalization of the Climate issue.

Interestingly, instead of focusing on actual threats to our democracy, like court packing; violence threatened against Supreme Court members and their families; an open Southern border; an energy policy that has made our country dependent on other countries and fueled inflation; a biased press; and a highly incompetent and divisive Presidency, a former one term President continues to be the focus for some.

Another amazingly flawed analysis by Keith re Trump and, particularly, the January 6 Committee Hearings, aka the Cheney- Dems Stalinist Show Trial.

The actual concern which should be expressed here is for the Democrat Party’s continuing assault on our Democracy. Apparently, that doesn’t bother Keith. How we can have journalists like Keith bamboozled that an “ outsider”, like Trump, is an existential threat to our democracy is laughable. This is particularly so, when all we endured through 4 years of his Presidency were illegitimate attempts to remove him from office, using government agencies and officials to spread falsehoods about him and subject the country to two impeachments and a number of groundless investigations.

And now, after an election which had a number of issues and controversies, which are verboten to even raise in polite company, we are subjected to a Hollywood produced Show Trial, not to determine facts, but to eliminate a political opponent and marginalize anyone associated with him.

How many of you would like to have an investigation and trial of your actions, without representation, without an ability to cross exam witnesses, without the ability to present your own witnesses and with witnesses submitting testimony without first hand knowledge?

Folks, we have very real problems in this country and they weren’t created by Trump. Those problems are the result of Biden and his incompetent Administration. An Administration that, in less than 2 years has created very serious problems and an Administration that has the temerity to continue the assault against its political opponents, including those at the Supreme Court. And, one of the parts of the continued assault by this Administration is the Show Trial so many like Keith are enthralled.
