The Feds Are Forced to Release January 6th Surveillance Footage and Narratives Crumble

Prosecutors Lost A Fight To Keep A Set Of Jan. 6 Capitol Surveillance Videos Under Seal https://t.co/IwJekF6hSX pic.twitter.com/FTnNPoyuPU

 RedState  "Why has the federal government been trying so hard to keep surveillance footage of January 6th under wraps? We may have an answer to that question if a set of newly released videos are any indication.

"A judge ordered the videos be released against the wishes of the government prosecutors who claimed doing so would undermine national security. Of course, that makes no sense, and what’s on the videos runs counter to the chosen narrative.

"Behold, the event that has been compared to the Civil War by the President of the United States.

"If you can’t watch the video, what you’ll see are open doors/windows and people casually walking in. There’s no mad rush, no violence, no weapons, and certainly no organized insurrection. Instead, people mingle, take selfies, and snap pictures of the surrounding architecture. Yes, it’s trespassing and that’s illegal, but what’s on that video is a far cry from the vast threat we’ve been assured was present that day. Does it look like Congressional members were about to be murdered?

"Again, I’m not trying to suggest that January 6th wasn’t dumb. I think the short-sighted idiots who perpetrated it did real damage to Trump and his movement. Yet, I also like to live in reality, and what these videos show is not a nation-shaking insurrection organized by some higher authority. Rather, it shows individuals who made a stupid choice.

"But trespassing is not a justification to keep people locked up indefinitely, and it’s not an excuse for the government to withhold evidence from the public simply because they think it’ll be embarrassing to their narrative. There are thousands more hours of footage that should be released at this point. Let the evidence or lack thereof speak for itself. The idea that any of this is endangering national security is a joke, and I’m glad this judge saw through that farce.

"Meanwhile, the left is assuring us that basic, non-violent enforcement of illegal immigration at the border is a human rights violation. Yet, they lauded the killing of Ashli Babbitt on January 6th as completely justified because she was where she wasn’t supposed to be. See the disconnect? All of this is political, from those who continue to obsess over January 6th to the politicized prosecutors who want to make their career on what mostly amounts to simple assault and people taking selfies. We truly live in the dumbest of times."

White House Treats Media With Well-Earned Disdain |

 The American Spectator   "It’s no secret that most Americans mistrust the media. A recent Gallup survey found that only 21 percent of the public expressed “a great deal” of confidence in newspapers. Television news fared even worse. This distrust of the media isn’t merely due to dishonest “reporting,” it is also tied to collusion between journalists and the politicians they are meant to keep honest. The White House press pool, for example, is little more than a Greek Chorus that recites Biden administration talking points. In exchange for this tawdry performance, they expect occasional access to the President. But Biden’s handlers have no more respect for the media than does the public.

"This became manifestly obvious on Tuesday, when Biden sat down in the oval office with UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson for a brief conversation for the cameras. These ritual chats between a President and a visiting foreign leader are usually followed by a few questions from the media. In keeping with that tradition, Johnson fielded a few questions from the British press, whereupon the American reporters attempted to ask our president a question or two. It didn’t go well. Ed O’Keefe, a senior White House political correspondent for CBS News, attempted to ask a question about the crisis on the southern border and was shouted down by Biden’s keepers:

IN THE OVAL OFFICE… @POTUS Biden and British PM @BorisJohnson meet to discuss pandemic, trade and other issues. Johnson took 3 questions. White House aides shouted down U.S. attempts to ask questions. I asked Biden about southern border and we couldn’t decipher what he said.

"The Hill reports, “Members of the White House press pool lodged a complaint with the White House after British reporters but not American reporters were recognized for questions during President Biden’s meeting with British Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Tuesday afternoon.” According to various reports, a gaggle of senior correspondents went directly to Jen Psaki’s office to demand a formal press conference during which reporters could ask the questions they were prevented from asking on Tuesday. Psaki dismissed the request. During Wednesday’s press briefing, she blamed the British Prime Minister for the whole incident:. . . "

How the corrupt press covers the Biden border disaster   ..."Journalists have also eagerly spread the lie about agents using whips. The Associated Press’ White House reporter Darlene Superville repeated the “whip-wielding” lie in her tweet promoting Psaki’s CBS appearance. VICE reporter Emily Green was so eager to turn Border Patrol into the bad guys that she felt compelled to change their race. She tweeted, “Largely white Border Patrol agents on horses cracking whips at Black Haitian migrants seeking protection. . .the optics of this are terrible.”

"But it wasn’t the optics that were terrible; it was her “reporting.” The Border Patrol agents are in fact largely Hispanic, not white, and as the image clearly shows, they were not whipping migrants seeking protection but doing their job of securing the border against people who are attempting illegally to cross it."...

All promoted by the corrupt and racist demagogue of Congress, Maxine Waters

“What we witnessed takes us back hundreds of years. What we witnessed was worse than what we witnessed in slavery,” Waters, who serves as the Chairwoman
of the House Committee on Financial Services, stated during a rainy press conference steps away from the U.S. Capitol.

Said the woman who hugged the mobsters who tried to beat white truck driver Reginald Denny to death in the streets of Water's district during the LA riots. TD 

The shape of American immigration under Democrat rule

Tulsi Gabbard tweeted:. @JoeBiden  @KamalaHarris , the humanitarian and national security crisis on the southern border is the direct result of your open-border policy. As I said in my 2020 presidential campaign, we can’t have a secure nation if we don't secure our borders.

President Joe Biden suspended Trump's border program on his first day of office and the Homeland Security Department ended it in June, drawing an influx of migrants to the border over the past few months. Daily Mail

Haitian migrants flooded Del Rio because cartel let them cross for free  | Daily Mail Online  "The secret behind the Haitians who have turned up in Del Rio, Texas is that they didn't migrate from Haiti at all but from Chile, where they had been granted asylum and were working and living comfortably as refugees.

"The dozens of Chilean identity cards that litter the ground in Ciudad Acuna, just across the Rio Grande from Del Rio, all bear distinctly non-Hispanic names.

"There is Prosper Pierre for instance, or Linode Lafleur or Eddyson Jean-Charles. None of the cards carries a name such as Gonzalez or Muñoz or Rojas.". . . 

. . . " 'As one put it to me, "I love Chile, it's 1,000 times better than Haiti," migration expert Todd Bensman of the Center for Immigration Studies told DailyMail.com.

'But I want to come to the United States, that's a million times better.' ". . . 

Americans know who's to blame for the border crisis: Devine (nypost.com)   "Operation Gaslight is collapsing. 

"A majority of Americans blame President Biden for the border crisis, a new poll shows, as the administration is caught lying about the makeshift refugee camp under a bridge in Del Rio, Texas.". . .  

. . . "White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Wednesday 90,000 illegal migrants were deported in August. But officially 208,000 crossed the border last month. So that’s 57 percent who were not sent home but dispersed around the country. Pretty good odds for the chance of the golden ticket of living in America.". . . 

Biden’s Border Botch Is No Accident – Issues & Insights   "The massive influx of illegal immigrants on our nation’s southern border almost defies description. The Biden administration has actively sought this disaster in a bid to undermine the integrity of both our border and our nation’s rule of law. President Joe Biden is responsible for this human crisis, and should answer for it.". . . 

. . . "This may just be the tip of a very large iceberg. Biden’s plans include doubling the current level of refugees admitted each year to 125,000.

"What’s worse, those who stay aren’t required to be vaccinated before being admitted, even though American workers are. Will we see an open-border-driven surge of new COVID cases this fall? Stay tuned.". . . 

. . . “ 'Common sense border security recommendations from experienced career professionals are being ignored and stymied by inexperienced political appointees,” Scott wrote. “The Biden administration’s team at DHS is laser-focused on expediting the flow of migrants into the U.S. and downplaying the significant vulnerability this creates for terrorists, narcotics smugglers, human traffickers, and even hostile nations to gain access to our homeland.”

"That powerful condemnation of Biden’s policy comes not from a partisan politician but from a border security official who recently retired after nearly 30 years experience protecting the U.S. border.

"In short, this isn’t mere incompetence or the unforeseen consequences of a misbegotten policy; it’s intentional.". . . 

The Lack of a Whip - Christine Rosen, Commentary Magazine  "If you have never ridden a horse, you can be forgiven for misunderstanding the intricacies of horse tack: bridles, halters, reins, bits, harnesses, and the like.

"If you’re the president of the United States and your administration includes Border Patrol agents who regularly perform their duties on horseback, you should know better.

"And yet, Joe Biden and his administration clearly do not. Out of Del Rio, Texas, where tens of thousands of people who have illegally crossed the border have been living for more than a week in a makeshift camp under a bridge, an image emerged of a Border Patrol officer on horseback attempting to apprehend people who were trying to cross the Rio Grande River.

"The image went viral when Sawyer Hackett, who works for former Obama HUD Secretary Julian Castro, tweeted it out claiming, “Border patrol is mounted on horseback rounding up Haitian refugees with whips. This is unfathomable cruelty towards people fleeing disaster and political ruin. The administration must stop this.' ”. . . 

The Real Anti-Vaxxers

Liberals sulked as people began getting vaccinated and living their lives again, but then seized on the delta variant to announce: Let's lock down again!

 Ann Coulter "As with Robert Frost's two paths diverging in the woods, the COVID pandemic has hit a fork in the road.

"Back in 2020, when the virus first presented itself, anything could be forgiven. Trump could shoot hydroxychloroquine up his butt; Fauci could sneer at masks, then a week later demand that we wear 17 masks; governors could order everyone to stay home, while they cavorted at parties, restaurants, hair salons and protests.

"The lies, hypocrisies and idiocies were all stuffed in our burlap bag, as we bounced along Coronavirus Road.

"Then, in a triumph of Western medicine, A VACCINE APPEARED! That's when our path in the woods diverged into the sane and insane.

"It's pretty clear now that the vaccines work, with few side effects -- although our public health experts would really do us a solid if they'd stop lying about there being no side effects. At a minimum, the vaccines prevent serious illness and death. They're even more effective than the flu vaccine, and that's pretty good.". . . 

As long as you don't die, which would be bad, a COVID infection is nature's vaccination shot! As multiple studies have shown, immunity from prior infection is stronger and more durable than that from vaccination.

Sounds good...except for that dying part.
