Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Democrat) on Monday claimed that as the much-ballyhooed “insurrection” was unfolding at the Capitol, then-President Trump was sitting by silently, supposedly giving his tacit endorsement to this alleged attempt to overthrow the government and destroy everything we hold dear. The whole scenario is a lie from start to finish, but Cheney went even farther, getting quite specific about how long it took for Trump to be moved to act to stop what she would have us believe was an attempted coup. The only problem was one shared by all too many Democrat presentations on all manner of issues: it wasn’t true, or even close to true.
Cheney declared dramatically: “The violence was evident to all — it was covered in real time by almost every news channel. But, for 187 minutes, President Trump refused to act when action by our president was required, indeed essential, and compelled by his oath to our Constitution.” This three-hour-plus delay, Cheney said, was a “supreme dereliction of duty.”
Yet according to The Federalist, which has been out front in reporting how the Jan. 6 Committee has been playing fast and loose with the facts, “an actual examination of the day’s events, however, shows no such delay. According to a detailed timeline of the turmoil by The New York Times, the first building was not breached until about 2:13 p.m. The timeline was corroborated by The Washington Post, which stamped the first break-in at 2:15 p.m. Trump’s first tweet addressing the upheaval shortly followed at 2:38 p.m., when the president made a plea for peace, writing, ‘Please support our Capitol Police and Law Enforcement. They are truly on the side of our Country. Stay peaceful!’”
There is more. Read the rest here.

An insurrection? Without even light weapons? Without planning? Without a plan ‘B’? Without any commands from the top? A ‘spontaneous’ insurrection … they actually believed the police would let unarmed people take over Congress and the Senate and arrest politicians? A spontaneous rush to enter the Capitol becomes an attempt to take over the government? And … hold it! Which government was in power at the time before the certification. It seems it was Republican.
How could Republicans overthrow the Republican government? They were vociferously and emotionally trying to influence their vote. And these submissive, law-abiding people went home when politely asked by the police to do so. The protesters did not hang around for days, burn police cars or set fire to buildings or block streets. So, it was a protest and a sit-in at most.

President Trump denounced the violence as soon as he became aware of it. Then he asked people to go home. When the evidence comes out, we will find corrupt FBI officials infiltrated the crowd to misdirect their at-first peaceful protest. They created a ‘Reichstag Fire’ event and now they are milking it dry.

The primaries this coming year within the GOP (and even the Dems in some cases, such as Ilhan’s and Rashida’s districts) will be important. Be sure to research the candidate and see through the closest thing to MTG or Boebert that you see in your congressional district. If it’s a sitting congressman, see how s/he voted on things like financing Afghan refugees, infrastructure, the debt ceiling and others, and be sure to primary the guy if the votes were on the islamic/commie side

The Bush Cheney team was furious that Trump beat Jeb and humiliated him. Jeb was supposed to be President not Donald Trump. Period. That is Liz Cheney’s agenda.

There was a time when I had a positive opinion of the Cheneys and Bushes (voted for Bush/Cheney in both 2000 and 2004 as well as for Bush 41 in 1988 and 1992). That time has long passed.

On a Fox News program listed on FoxNation ep 82 Carl Carlson interviewed in investigative journalist Julie Kelly about the so called “insurrection” which occurred on January 6th 2021.
In this interview she explained that ”The Biden regime is turn against Americans on the political right.
There relating to Biden and the many leftist judges who are now in power are actually condemning Conservatives Americans for even doubting the legitimacy of the 2020 e=November election.
This is as terrible as it’s also unjust that people in this country can now be condemned for ideas, “thought crimes.”
This injustice and violation of the American Patriots Constitutional rights and basic human rights on that day and afterwards after Joe Biden took Office is an affront to all that is good, decent just and right.
For example on patriot at the pro –Trump rally even though he didn’t break any laws by was arrested anyway by the Capital police. I use the word “police” loosely when referring to some of those Capital “police.”
That man had the leftist judge sentenced him to prison because he discovered that this man a keyboarded and posted some negative comments about Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi and his questioning the legitimacy of the 2020 national election results.
Then Carlson, rightly, said about that This is America and the US Constitution guarantees freedom of speech.”
That “guarantee” must be meaningless with that Un-American Biden sitting in the White House Oval office and his politically correct judges in power.
It’s unbelievable how corrupt and tyrannical since Biden took Office. No wonder he favors Red China in his international polices .For he must like such dictatorial powers.
In the interview, it was revealed that the only people who were murder at that place at that time had been Trump supporters and the report that a Capital police officer was beaten to death by Trump supporters as a lie and a complete fabrication.
That was probably made up to that fact of two young patriot woman who were killed by Capital “police.” One young woman, Ashli Babbitt , was shot through a closed door and her was unarmed and non –violent. The other young woman Rosanne Boyland, was beaten by them and chased in a nearby tunnel by them and murder by them. This is North Korea or America. ?
For some people vicious actions of the Capital “police” by how they harmed Rosanne Boyland so terrible that she because unconscious and they attempted to revive her but the Capital police stopped them “ Are they that Capital police of America ? This wicked murderous behavior is more fitting for the Capital police of Communist China.
Furthermore that police officer who was falsely claimed have had killed by Trump supporters had actually about a month later by unrelated cause.
Nevertheless Joe Biden , went along with the lie as to how that police officer died and went to viewing putting on an act by shaking his head, This willful and deliberated deception by Biden further reveals what a scoundrel Biden actually is.
This fiction about how that officer died was done to make the Patriotic Trump supporters look terrible and distract the public’s attention away from the brutal murderous behavior of the Capital “police.”
Kelly speculated that the awful abuse against peaceful American citizens on “January 6th was an excuse to strip Americans of their Constitutional rights. “ Sadly she might be right, after all, there is an old saying that “Evil is always looking for an excuse.”
Furthermore in was also made known that the Department of Justice in have involvement, along with the FBI , they must now be infected with extreme leftism . Those two government organizations are far from the grand institutions that they had been in the past.
Now the FBI is directly involved enticement and entrapment of peaceful Conservative Americans, calling “domestic terrorists.”
One conservative man American was also arrested an imprisoned only being nearby the Patriot January 6th rally , he was outside and didn’t even enter an government building.
One conservative man was unjustly imprisoned because he recanted his conservatives views [thought crimes]
Another man was sent to prison by his probation officer for viewing information on politics the internet.
This is all unbelievable absurd and wickedly dictatorial. This is like its right out of the George Orwell novel entitled “1984.”
Walter Sieruk says
Regarding the political prisoners of Joe Biden from January 6,th 2021, as revealed in the 11/10 /21 issue of THE EPOCH TIMES A14 it’s been revealed that “Under the Biden rule ,for the first time in our history , normalizing the denial of civil rights and civil liberties based on ideology not wrongdoing is presented as a noble cause. Equal justice under the law for the Biden Department of Justice [DOJ] has taken a giant leap backward in embracing the medieval notion of might makes right for political opponents. It is shameful and dangerous…We have been continually stonewalled, belittled, ignored and even demonized by the DOJ, leadership at the Capital Police , and the Bureau of Prisons . They each ignored request and questions….”
The article further exposes that “Should ideology and abuse of power continue to drive this administration’s actions, the Rule of Law will cease to exist.”
Furthermore “A number of Jan 6 prisoners were heal behind bars for months without ever being charged with a crime, an some without ever seeing the evidence against them…which is a civil right violation. There also have been reports of heinous mental and physical abuses against those prisoners at the DC Central Detention Facility…”
In addition, “imagine the outrage from Democrats and their accomplices in the media had Antifa and Black Lives matter rioters had been prosecuted with a fraction of the vigor with which the DOJ has gone after the Jan. 6 defendants.”
Those despicable human rights affronts are made even worse when considering “the riots in the summer of2020 were reported, based on insurance claims, to be the most destructive riots in US history. Those riotous individuals terrorized American cities for months, set fire to federal and law enforcement buildings and destroyed the livelihoods of innocent Americans. More than 2,000 law enforcement officers were injured during those “mostly peaceful’ protests.”
It’s is need to note that the article writer was being very by using the word “protests” ,because those Antifa and BLM lawless ruffians weren’t real ,genuine, protesters but rioting hooligans and thugs.
Anyway the near of the end of the article it further reveals that “The apparent political revenge and retaliation against some of the Jan. 6 detainees by the Biden administration’s DOJ should chill every American to their core. Even the way many were arrested is more reminiscent t of the Gestapo tactics than of the once –admired FBI.”
Joe Biden as the ”Chief Executive “ of the United States by his using the DOJ for his scheming political agenda and with his political prisoners is much more akin to the Soviet Communist dictator Joseph Stalin than an actual real American President.

Cheney’s hate for Trump stems from her concern about Trump hurting her families military construction contracts and grave train.
