Turning A Blind Eye To Inconvenient Truths About Jan. 6

  Issues & Insights   "For more than two years, Democrats and the media have been completely and totally fixated on the events of Jan. 6, 2021, using carefully selected clips from more than 40,000 hours of surveillance footage to tell their story of a violent insurrection.

"But now that Fox News has gained access to the complete video record and is providing the public with a far more complete picture of what happened that day, we fully expect the left to suddenly decide that Jan. 6 isn’t worth talking about any more.

"Shortly after Republicans took control of the House, Speaker Kevin McCarthy decided to make the complete set of surveillance videos available to Fox News’ Tucker Carlson. You can debate McCarthy’s choice of who got access all you want. But the result is that the public has, for the first time, seen surveillance footage Democrats didn’t want Americans to see. Such as evidence of Capitol Police officers politely escorting peaceful demonstrators around the building.

"The newly available footage also made it clear that the police officer who the Trump mob supposedly killed, Brian Sicknick, was walking around unharmed after the “deadly” attack occurred. Other narratives are failing to hold up.". . .

. . .I"f you don’t think we’re right about this, try a thought experiment. Imagine if some Democrats felt that a presidential election had been stolen and held protest rallies that turned violent. How would Democrats themselves react? Would they decry it as a threat to the nation? Or would they pass it off as people expressing their first amendment rights in “mostly peaceful” demonstrations?

"Oh, wait, you don’t need to conduct a thought experiment.

"Because that’s exactly what happened in 2016 and 2017, when the left erupted into violent protests after a candidate, whom they didn’t like, won the election that they thought was rigged.". . .

Schumer Shows What a Coward He Is Regarding Tucker's J6 Coverage

 RedState

"Tucker Carlson’s release of video footage and coverage of the Jan. 6 riot is driving the Democrats and their fellow travelers to distraction. They’re so upset that there is anything that contradicts the carefully curated narrative that they have been selling for more than two years.

"We saw Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) completely losing his mind on the Senate floor, even demanding that Fox owner Rupert Murdoch shut Carlson’s further coverage down “because our democracy depends on it.” Our “democracy” depends upon shutting down free speech and letting the public know more about what happened that day? What a bizarre way to claim you care about “democracy” — by wanting to suppress speech. But it shows what a panic they are in.

"Schumer wasn’t finished there. But his subsequent comment — meant to attack Tucker Carlson — just showed what a coward he is. He said he was invited to go on Tucker’s show but he would go only under one condition.

I will agree to go on after Tucker Carlson admits to his viewers live on air that he has been lying to them about the 2020 elections and about what happened on January 6th.

"Translation: It’s never happening because Chuck can’t deal.

"Given how Tucker responded to the tantrums thrown about his coverage on Tuesday — mocking the media meltdown and taking Schumer apart — I think we know he will laugh his head off at this response from Schumer. Tucker didn’t need to invite him, but he was giving him a chance to air what he wanted to say.". . .

Did Tucker Hit a Nerve? Axios Wants to Move On From January 6

 PJ Media

"The Democrats’ January 6 Select Committee was a study in propaganda, a one-sided hanging jury that jealously guarded its control over footage of the Capitol Riot and only released what it cherry-picked for the public to see. The committee did this to the extent it even withheld exculpatory video from the poor bastards in its crosshairs who now languish in federal cells, having been denied their right to due process.

"Once Republicans were barely able to wrest control of the U.S. House from the Democrats’ ballot sow-n-reap operation, the new House speaker favored transparency and granted Fox News’s Tucker Carlson access to the full range of video that had previously only been wielded by the Establishment-Left kangaroo court.

"Carlson went right to work, highlighting previously hidden footage that revealed the partisans on the J6 committee to be manipulative, lying propagandists. But he had only aired the first night of his exposé when Big Left began to squeal like a stuck pig.

Tucker Carlson laughs at a montage of the media panicking about his Jan. 6 coverage:

"The leaders of the democratic party and their allies in the media had a complete monopoly on what you were allowed to know on what actually happened in the capitol on Jan 6th... So the moment… https://t.co/6ByZEXP1R3 pic.twitter.com/gdRhEOJEuo

The cable news channel’s most highly rated show, “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” aired footage Monday night showing people, including so-called “QAnon Shaman” Jacob Chansley, walking peacefully through the building as police milled about passively. Shapiro, the Daily Wire co-founder and best-selling author, said on his podcast the video raised questions about the way the riots have been portrayed in the media. “What Tucker showed [undermined] the kind of narrative that he was running through the halls of the Capitol building, knocking people over and beating their brains out in order to get into the main room of the Capitol and then sit behind the desk and then hanging from the ceiling,” Shapiro said.

"Methinks Tucker hit a nerve.

"My favorite part was Don Lemon lamenting the unfairness of the footage being given only to Fox News and not all of the Leftist outlets at the same time. Unfair? Um, excuse me… Your pals on the J6 Select Committee locked that footage down for two years and hired a professional producer to make it into an anti-Trump primetime miniseries. You gave their show trial wall-to-wall coverage on your networks. People are sitting in prison because their defense teams weren’t allowed access to it. And now one single news show — not even an entire network — is allowed to explore another side to the events, and you’re upset?". . .

Is Chuck Schumer what Ben Franklin had in mind during 1776?

 

Tucker Carlson responds to Jan. 6 criticism from Schumer, McConnell - American Thinker  "Fox News host Tucker Carlson responded to criticism from Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) over releasing footage of the Capitol protests from Jan. 6, 2021.

"While speaking on the Senate floor, Schumer accused Carlson of "lying" and "manipulating" his audience by releasing the footage.  

"To say January 6 was not violent is a lie, a lie pure and simple.  I don't think I've ever seen a prime-time cable news anchor manipulate his viewers the way Mr. Carlson did last night.  I don't think I've ever seen an anchor treat the American people and American democracy with such disdain."

"Schumer pleaded for Fox News to prohibit Carlson from running a "second segment of lies.". . .

Poor Chuck Schumer - The Washington Post WebSure, "Schumer is an infamous demagogue. "There is no senator more partisan. And yes, the most dangerous place in D.C. is still between Schumer and a microphone. . . ."

Race-Based Hatred Permeates the Black Population -

  American Thinker  "For forty-five years (1964 to 2009), the United States experienced significant progress in race relations.  Thanks to the efforts of individual citizens in their communities throughout all regions of the country, this nation was well on its way to racial healing.  In 2008 only 18% of Americans were greatly concerned or worried about the state of race relations in the country as nearly 70% thought that relations between Whites and Blacks were very or somewhat good.

"In 2009, the most divisive and societally destructive president in American history, Barack Obama, came into office determined to reverse this trend by manipulating the Black citizenry into abandoning racial harmony by utilizing malicious demonization of the White population.  He succeeded in fanning the dying embers of racism into a potential national conflagration. 

"Thanks to Obama and the media’s incessant drumbeat that so-called “white supremacy” is a

major threat to minorities, in particular Blacks, a Washington Post poll in May of 2022 revealed that three quarters of Blacks are worried that they or someone they love will be attacked by a white person -- while the reality is that Blacks perpetrate the vast majority of interracial crime.  And nearly as many, 70 percent, believe that half or more of all White people “hold white supremacist beliefs.” 

"A Rasmussen poll taken in February of 2023, exposed the inevitable and disturbing reality that only 54% of Blacks think it’s ok to be White.  Race based hatred and discrimination now appears to pervade the bulk of the Black population.  This same mindset is also pervasive within far too many of the nation’s private and government institutions.". . .

MSNBC’s Joy Reid Smears: “If It Ain’t White, It Ain’t Right in DeSantistan”…  . . ."Reid continued to lash out at DeSantis. “There's the legislation that goes directly after journalists. Anonymous sources would be deemed inherently fake,” Reid falsely claimed. “Unsurprisingly the law would also make it easier to sue journalists if politicians don't like what they report.' ” . . .

AbramsX: The U.S. Army’s New Tank Looks Like a Lethal Game Changer

 'While most pieces of military equipment within the U.S. armed forces have been replaced over time by newer and more advanced technologies, the Army’s M1-Abrams Main Battle Tank (MT) is the exception. For nearly four decades, the U.S. military has fielded the Abrams family of tanks, upgrading each successive armored vehicle with the latest capabilities and technologies. More recently, the tank’s manufacturer General Dynamics Land Systems is striving to develop yet another more advanced and innovative Abrams family variant – AbramsX.". . .

Check out these benefits for still wearing your face mask: Babylon Bee

Dennis Prager The world’sCheck out these benefits for still wearing your face mask: most trusted evaluator of medical studies, the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, has just released as close to a conclusive report on the effectiveness of masks against respiratory viruses such as COVID-19 as we are likely to have for the foreseeable future. The report assessed data from 78 different studies, including 11 new randomized controlled trials involving 610,872 participants.

"Cochrane concluded, in the words of one of the authors, Dr. Tom Jefferson of Oxford University, “There is just no evidence that they (masks) make any difference. Full stop.”

"Among the reasons for that assessment was Cochrane’s conclusion that states and countries with mask mandates fared no better than states and countries without.

"Moreover, Dr. Jefferson’s conclusions were not limited to cloth and surgical masks. Regarding N95 masks, Jefferson said the same thing: “Makes no difference—none of it.”

"As for the early COVID-19 studies that policymakers cited to justify mandates for mask wearing, Jefferson said: “They were convinced by nonrandomized studies, flawed observational studies.”

"For example, PolitiFact, one of the so-called “fact-checkers” whose primary function is to declare whatever differs from the Left as “false,” declared in 2021 that studies “have consistently found that mask mandates cause sharp declines in coronavirus case rates.”

"Bret Stephens, one of the two or three non-Left columnists at the New York Times, wrote this about the Cochrane study: “Mask mandates were a bust. Those skeptics who were furiously mocked as cranks and occasionally censored as ‘misinformers’ for opposing mandates were right. The mainstream experts and pundits who supported mandates were wrong. In a better world, it would behoove the latter group to acknowledge their error, along with its considerable physical, psychological, pedagogical and political costs.”. . .. . .

"So why, even despite the science, does the Left insist on wearing—and forcing others to wear—masks? I will offer four reasons."  Here...
