Lies for political purposes are part of a politician’s repertoire for obtaining and using power. Some political lies are good. They benefit the American citizenry and the nation. And then there are those that are evil.
On March 6th, 2023, some 26 months after the J6 events at the Capitol, Tucker Carlson showed some of the tens of thousands of hours of video taken inside and outside the Capitol. The video inside the Capitol showed people milling around peacefully and the Capitol police facilitating the activities of individuals and the crowd. This contradicted the carefully orchestrated lies that the entire crowd of Trump supporters was violent. (Notably, of the people who died that day, all were Trump supporters – 2 by heart attack, 1 by police shooting, and 1 apparently by police beating.)
Upsetting the lies of the J6 Committee could not be allowed, so the leadership of the Democrat Party, its lackeys in the news media, and even members of the GOP elite, strongly criticized Carlson and demanded censorship. So much for transparency and openness. (Carlson made the point that the Uniparty is real. He noted that both Senator Schumer, Democrat Senate Majority Leader, and Senator McConnel, Republican Senate Minority Leader, were both calling for censorship.)
I watched the Carlson show on the 7th of March 2023 and, to me, it looked like he had toned things down. There were a lot of fillers and not much follow-up from the previous day’s blockbuster video revelations. He did interview a key Capitol police officer who stated that he had called for assistance and got none. This was buttressed by a Hannity interview of the Head of the Capitol police who indicated the intelligence was clear that something quite serious was going to happen – and the Democrat leadership in charge of Capitol security did nothing to help. (Apparently, the negative optics of a strong police presence was more important than actually helping with crowd control.)
Nancy Pelosi and her Democrat friends have made no secret of their personal and political hatred of Donald Trump. She ripped up his State of the Union Speech and twice orchestrated his impeachment. However, her hatred goes well beyond Trump. It is directed at his supporters who are viewed as the enemy, not the opposition. Pelosi certainly knew that minimizing crowd control aid was bound to facilitate anarchy – and would almost certainly get American citizens and police injured and killed. She did nothing. (Frankly, it is amazing that only 4 Trump supporters and no Capitol police died that day. There was no insurrection but there was certainly a bunch of frustrated and angry people.)
There is a great deal of fear of political exposure running around in the halls of Congress and in the media that carried the lies to the public. And, the exposure is not over. Carlson, like Alexander the Great, is cutting apart the Gordian Knot of lies. I look forward to more.

Just absolutely appalling that folks would side with tucker’s spin on this
You obviously didn’t see the video – shame on you.
“You obviously didn’t see the video” That is a really stupid thing to say
Bennie Thompson, democrat head of the j6 committee, admitted that they didn’t review the video before accusing hundreds of Americans of committing an insurrection. As an African American he ought to know what a lynching is – and, Bennie, you participate in one here.
Virginia Republicans doing what they do best: Driving while shitfaced drunk, trying to kill women.
Virginia Republican legislator Matt Fariss, 54, (HOD 59) has been charged with malicious wounding, failing to stop after an accident, and reckless driving, according to news reports.
Fariss struck a pedestrian with his SUV after becoming incensed by a series of events last Thursday that culminated in the person bailing from his vehicle.
The former two charges are felonies. If found guilty of malicious wounding, Fariss could face up to 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $100,000.
The injured person has since requested an order of protection against Fariss.
Fariss turned himself in on Friday and was released on bail.
“While I may have made some mistakes in my life, these charges are false. I look forward to clearing them in a court of law,” Fariss said.
Fariss’s passenger Julie Miles, 56, stated in an affidavit that Fariss had been driving “excessively fast” before a tire blew on his SUV. Fariss telephoned a son to request help, but the son responded that he didn’t have a jack and did not appear in order to assist.
“His mood went dark and he was being angry and abusive,” the affadavit stated.
Miles said she then left the vehicle and headed on foot for the home of a relative.
Miles said of Fariss: “He was screaming at me” to get into the car. “I said a firm ‘no’ and kept walking,” she said in the affidavit.
Next, Fariss cut a 90-degree turn to the left toward where Miles was walking, and then hit her with his SUV and got out of the vehicle, yelling that “I should have gotten into the g——-d car,” Miles said in the affidavit. She said she was knocked to the ground, and her “sunglasses flew about 8 feet off my head.”
“Luckily a man across the street saw all of this and yelled,” Miles said. “Once Matt saw that there was a witness he got in his car and fled the scene.”
A Republican, Fariss has represented Virginia’s District 59 since 2012 and is up for re-election this year. He serves on the legislature’s public safety committee.
In 2016 Fariss pleaded guilty and paid a $250 fine for a misdemeanor hit and run incident that damaged a mailbox, a road sign, and some fencing.
He is just trying to keep up with ANTIFA and BLM, the shock troops of the Democrat Party. He just didn’t do it right. You have to kill not just bruise.
Thanks for posting the most irrelevant Reply to an article imaginable. Do you simply cut and paste that into every political post you encounter?
Give him a break, He’s only 4 and ½ years old. His mommy has to show him how to do that.
It will be interesting to see if somehow that footage ends up “classified” and Jordan/Tucker will be raided by the DOJ/FBI to recover it.
McCarthy just announced that all the footage will be released without exception unless national security is involved. Should be interesting when the footage contradicts two years of carefully orchestrated democrat lies.
140 cops were injured, one was killed………..that is trump
Tucker Carlson’s team has now revealed that in addition to the Jan 6 Witch Hunt Committee using only select videos to make January 6 appear as though it was a violent “insurrection,”, they also DOCTORED the sound in the videos to make them appear more threatening and scary!
Jesus Christ, just unbelievable. Goddamn
“ Pelosi certainly knew that minimizing crowd control aid was bound to facilitate anarchy – and would almost certainly get American citizens and police injured and killed”
This is some weird logic. Are you saying the without Pelosi providing babysitting services “patriots” can’t help but become anarchists?
And yeah, nothing new from the good Delegate and oh so conservative Mr. Fariss. You got me I guess, bc I certainly don’t have this much Republican conservatism in me. My bad.
If you want chaos, you invite it. Pelosi invited it.
I hope Tucker goes after the groups that preceded the MAGA patriots who attended the rally and then marched to he Capitol. Would be interesting to know who actually started the rioting and damage.
Soooo, if rioting starts, “maga patriots” don’t have enough self control to not join in?
Whatever happened to that conservative tenent of personal responsibility and accountability?
See Charlottesville.
Nothing is unbelievable when it comes to evil. And democrats are evil.
