On January 6th, 2021 the Trump Era of U.S. history ended. Nothing will be the same after the events on Capitol Hill. There is no going back. That much is obvious.
The shock of those events wasn’t Trump calling a rally of his supporters to the Capitol or that they were seething with anger over what is clearly a stolen election.
The shock was that they “aimed to misbehave” after coming to the realization that the America they thought they lived in no longer existed.
I’ve said many times in 2020 that this election was the last chance to keep a lid on their anger. It was, in their minds, their last non-violent way of choosing the rules they lived under.
As long as the results looked even remotely fair they would be willing to accept them and make the best of it. That’s the contract right?
But they would not accept fraud.
Because fraud is theft. And theft is force. Theft is ultimately violence.
So everyone clutching their pearls today over the ‘violence’ of January 6th needs to remember that violence is baked into this story at every level.
In fact, the worst pearl clutchers are the ones whose power is most threatened, i.e. Congress, and the cowards unwilling to stand next to those facing them down.
Her name is Ashli Babbitt.
Because as George Washington almost certainly didn’t say …
Government is not reason, it is not eloquence,—it is force! Like fire, it is a dangerous servant, and a fearful master; never for a moment should it be left to irresponsible action
Force was on display fully at the capitol but it wasn’t coming from the people. It was coming from Congress who knowingly certified a fraudulent election hiding behind their cowardice and corruption.
And the people called them out on it.
The most moving thing I saw all day was thousands of people singing the national anthem as they tried to get into the Capitol building.
After certifying the election Vice President Mike Pence said,
“To those who wreaked havoc in our capitol today, you did not win. Violence never wins. Freedom wins. And this is still the people’s House.”
No Mike, violence won. Rule by men won. And standing proud while taking your thirty pieces of silver only further ensures that violence will keep winning.
Her name is Ashli Babbitt.
But violence is now inevitable. And the first shots were fired. Not by the people but by those agents of force themselves, the government.
During the George Floyd riots our current rulers could barely bring themselves to denounce the very real violence in Minneapolis, Portland, Atlanta, etc.
BLM and Antifa vandals burned down whole city blocks, beat people indiscriminately and destroyed the lives of the very black people they were supposed to be protesting for.
They were brave freedom fighters. Whoever said protests were supposed to be polite, right Chris Cuomo?
If you want to be heard by people who aren’t listening then you have to make a lot of noise to get their attention.
So, the idea that hundreds of thousands of disenfranchised conservatives shouldn’t gather and say no to a blatant fraud is laughable. In the end, their main crime was a little disorganized mayhem inside the Capitol building.
Denouncing that as ‘insurrection,’ as alleged in the circulating articles of impeachment against Trump, are equally laughable.
It’s also indicative of just how thin the veneer of their power is. Because the people who came to D.C. to protest knew exactly who their enemies were — Congress, the media and the police who turned their backs on them.
What’s clear is that January 6th was on the ‘white board’ of The Swamp that if things got out of control, or were allowed to, they were prepared for the protest to turn ugly enough to warrant unbridled use of military force.
It failed.
Her name is Ashli Babbitt.
Because during the height of the commotion the Pentagon refused a request for the National Guard to be brought in.
Things had to get far worse than what happened for that step to occur.
When sifting through the wreckage of these events, breaking into the Capitol and wandering around isn’t really all that dangerous.
Was it a little embarrassing? Yes.
Did it warrant at any point lethal force? No.
If it did the cops in the building wouldn’t have been standing around for the most part chatting amiably with the ‘insurgents.’
What they wanted another Fort Sumter where the rebels panicked and fired the first shot. They wanted unbridled violence to erupt as the madness of crowds took over.
That never really materialized. And so, no justifiable massacre ensued.
What did happen was the opposite.
They fired first. They lost their cool. It was a wholly unjustified shooting by a U.S. Capitol Police Officer. He just panicked and shot an unarmed woman climbing through a window.
Her name was Ashli Babbitt.
In any version of reality there was no imminent threat to him, just like the antics around the Capitol posed no imminent threat to the U.S. or Congress.
No riot happened, however, because the protestors believe in something greater than power, unlike the feckless jackals of Congress trying to hound Trump into exile.
Even Antifa agent provocateurs couldn’t incite a riot. They were pulled down off the building by the MAGA folks who ultimately chanted ‘Stop the Steal’ a lot between refrains of the Star Spangled Banner, which D.C. police stepped on like it was a nuisance.
These are people who showed discipline in equal measure to their righteous anger. The Powers That Be never thought these people could be provoked to even the level seen on January 6th.
But I remind you that quiet men, men of character, take a lot to rile to overt anger. Our leaders and the commies who think they are winning today mistake temperance for weakness.
But when you take everything else away from them, what comes next you will have invited.
We got only a taste of the anger and resolve of the folks showed up to support their man Trump. And today they realize just how bad things actually are. They understand it now in their bones how deeply flawed the Myth of America is.
That myth, as I talked about recently, is a powerful one, not without its merits. Trump fed that myth because, I think, he believes in it. But it is still a myth and one which will have to be updated.
Trump, I think, understands this and knows that this is not about him. His message and the way he handled the past four years was that they are scared of the people, not him.
His job, as he saw it, was to give us the courage to stand up to these horrific people, see them for what they are and afford them zero respect. That’s the legacy of the Trump Era.
And that’s why they hate him so much. Because we were never supposed to find out just how much they hate us.
In the coming weeks Pelosi, Schumer and the rest will double down on control. They have to, having staked out the moral high ground now. That was the trap Trump set for them, nothing more.
They will enter the Biden Era passing new insane laws, pushing for gun control, persecuting and silencing these ‘deplorable’ people. All the while they will think that these edicts will insulate them from their anger.
But it won’t. Because they shot first. They took the bait. And they committed the ultimate sin.

Beautifully stated, Tom!
The MAGA folks weren’t trying to destroy the Capitol. They DIDN’T! The “mob” broke a few windows, and such. They were fired upon, not the other way around! An American Flag backpack on a woman is NOT a lethal threat!
I’d bet the instigators of the mob illegality were Antifa implants. Some definitely were based on photo evidence! But mob action is psychologically contagious!
The obvious theft of the election was a crossing of the Rubicon by the Left. They now have to press on to the ultimate conclusion of institutionalizing their desired tyranny. They may be able to, in Blue States, but I suspect the Red States will hold a different standard, outside the Blue urban cells.
Truckers, and others, who make unviable urban density possible, may have a say. The result won’t be pretty! But Rubicon Crossings rarely are noted for pulchritude, but rather violence.
A truckers’ strike would be the least violent response. Until the Blue denizens start to feed on their own!
thank you Curtis, and I agree a strike is the best way to send the right message.
Sure, but you conduct a strike [[THEM}} not regular folk. You make [[THEM}} SQUIRM.
I disagree. The best response is ‘Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.’ If you can find Him, but you won’t. It is Written, if you love the world, the love of the Father is not in you.
the sin was not operating on behalf of Soros
Thank you Tom!
Your words were cool water to my parched spirit.
So even his staunchest supporters -Republicans on the Hill and outside jumped ship without even a thought to the man, his dedication and sacrifice to this country….
He can never be repaid. You knew he truly loved his country. They tortured him for four years!
I am thankful we had him as our President for these years. But it will forever remain a slow burn in my soul what he could have done for America if he had had those second four more years!
Sad how MAGA got played allowing the conversation to be changed from the election to insurrection. But the Blob seems determined to overplay its hand – sedition and possibly murder charges against all including Trump – who incidentally better pardon himself, addition to the No Fly List, etc, and demonisation by the media as compared to the saintly BLM, and so screw down all the safety valves. This will probably turn into a Pyrrhic victory and possibly the end of the Union

I would rather think in my stupid optimism, that the Trump era has really only started. For all his faults, he helped millions in country and around the world get back their sight. And once you get back your sight it is highly improbable that you will choose to be blind again. Off the top of my head, the number one problem for Merica is the sense of chosenness implicit in the Empire project, and inabiity to see that multipolar world is here already. And secondly, just how far the system has structuralized high costs that have nothing to do with quality or meaningful life, particularly as it relates to the collective, society as a whole. The Empire project is killing the host while it creates functional dependency (and increasingly unquestionable loyalty). These two problems are inherently connected, but once you release consciousness, or maybe awareness, the path is rarely as the control freaks initially assumed. Sometimes, consciousness itself is an act of defiance.
As a veteran Ashli Babbitt is entitled to a US flag on her cofin as well as honours. What if the DOD refuses because she was a “domestic terrorist”? And what if Trump goes to the funeral?
Those are all good questions Suresh. If they dishonor her it will be a divisive moment
I think they had all this pearl-clutching rhetoric and reaction ready to go in response to what they thought was going to be an Antifa-style riot of mass violence, burning, and mayhem. When they got a bunch of people milling about and taking selfies in the Capitol, they decided to just go with the pearl-clutching rhetoric anyway even thought it was ridiculous to apply it to what really happened. They don’t have the intelligence to go to “Plan B”.
That’s a good point Grant. Now that we have a clearer picture of what happened.
Thanks, Tom. I’m one of your Patreon subscribers BTW.
They don’t need intelligence. All they have to do is implement the plan devised by [[those]] who really own and run the system. Congress azzhats don’t run an effing thing.
Im not American though I have an extended American family and have lived and worked in the USA and travelled through it possibly more than most natives.
A year or so after Trump had become President i was visiting family to pay my respects and represent the English side of our family for the tragic loss of a US Navy veteran. After the funeral when we had all gathered together I was asked what I thought of President Trump. I wasn’t sure of everyone’s political leaning and as a foreigner I stick to bashing my own kind. But not being politically correct I answered according to my convictions and said that it is not the man that is important it is the fact that Americans have finally begun to wake up and realise what their government actually is, no one in the room offered any disagreement, they all nodded in agreement.
I think these four years has cemented that belief and strengthened it. I can only guess what the men and women of the armed services may think to the murder of one of their own by a tool of the state.
I would not want to be a politician of either party, if I were I would spend the rest of my life looking over my shoulder.
Damn the lot of them.
Odif,
Thank you for your candor and insight. I’ve heard similar stories from others from around the world. We have woken up, I don’t know if it will be enough or not, but it is very encouraging.
Dear Tom,
I often check into your blog but have never commented till now. To see that poor woman cut down so mercilessly yesterday chilled my soul. I understand what it represents and what our future could hold for us. They say here that when America catches a cold England gets the flu. You will not be alone in the coming fall out from these wretched acts.
I have spent my adult life in the aerospace business and it has taken me across the world but there are few places that I know better than home and one is America. I look at countries as though they were divided in half, one half the natural world and the other its human culture. To survive the human jungle you must understand its culture if not its language.
What has happened in these four years is a sea change to the American culture and it will not be reversed, it will only be reinforced by future vengeful acts of government. I wonder where the loyalties of those that form the worlds most powerful military forces will lie then? Does it not strike these people of the enormity of what they have done? are they really so blind to their actions? what happens next if they order a call to arms and those holding them refuse? History seems to warn us that revolutions begin as mutiny in the military.
A mutiny in the worlds most powerful military force would indeed be an apocalyptic event. I would dare to say that it would be the mother of all revolutions.
Odif,
I have no doubt that what comes next will not be pretty. And we will gave to bear down and fight like we never have before to retain not only our liberty but our humanity in the process. Thank you
Let justice be done though the heavens fall. Never forget 9-11. That was [[their]] coming out party. Stat crux dum volvitur orbis.
Why was Babbitt shot? She was surrounded by police at the time and a police person actually moved out of the way to give the shooter a clear line of sight. What was she doing at the time, standing there? Why?
Tom, did you watch the video of the traitor terrorist Ashli Babbitt? The mob was not peaceful, directly telling officers they were in harms way. If they made it through that set of barricaded doors, who knows what the consequences would have been. The officer who shot her and defended democracy should be a national hero to stand up to these uniformed vile thugs. “Stand your ground” only seems to apply when it fits your fascist narratives. 1 officer as the final defense vs 50 deranged lunatics out for blood. God bless that officer.
The deranged lunatic is you, Fred.
Let’s engage in a little thought experiment shall we Tommy? Let’s say 1,000 muslim American CITIZENS decided to “protest” the Muslim ban and stormed the capitol in the same exact way. A muslim woman is shot and killed while surging to enter a barricaded restricted area. What then? Would you have said her name and written about in her such loving fashion as she exercised her constitutional rights, but was so “unjustly” shot down. We know the answer Tommy. She would have been labeled a terrorist (rightly so) and the officer a hero. But, because you agree with a movement based on a “stolen” election Ashli is a martyr. The election was not stolen. There is no evidence. These claims have been shot down hundreds of times in all courts across the land. Take a step back for a second. A group of people in a mob fashion stormed one of the most sacred government institutions that exist which was filled with 90% of the nation’s leadership. You are siding with this mob. You are a traitor through and through, an wannabe fascist hell bent on spreading more lies and giving these cult educated people the moral standing to think behavior like this is not only acceptable, but heroic. Shame on you.
You know Fred is a kyke, right Tom? Only a Christ killer believes the innocent should be killed……. in the name of the law.
i will not tolerate corruption says the lord
As Jefferson Davis eloquently said “The contest is not over, the strife is not ended. It has only entered upon a new and enlarged arena.”
Hello Tom,
Do not mean to be inflammatory. I am not a US citizen, I reside in the province of Alberta in Western Canada. Right now there is a political movement in my province that is pushing for succession from the Canadian Union. The province next to us, Saskatchewan, is following a similar path.
The reason for this is that our votes do not count. Elections here are determined by the populous regions that overwhelming vote Liberal. With the election of Mr. Biden, I believe many Red State Americans are coming to the same conclusion. Yes you have the electoral college, but we all bared witness how this election resulted in a questionable outcome.
The US will now have a Liberal California speaker, a Liberal New York Senate Leader, and soon a Liberal California President. In essence two Liberal states will control the Union. I am thinking that very soon many US red States will start to think the same way my Province is.
Tom:
Thanks for stating clear truth. I agree with everything you wrote and would add this: they will add DC as a state at minimum, then will go for parts of the 2nd amendment first because they won’t have the power to repeal that amendment immediately.
They will remove ammo from circulation except for military and police contracts. Then they will go for the magazines, then ARs, then finally all weapons. Only after they have disarmed the population they fear can they begin the real removal of our other rights.
Our only hope now that we see that Trump had no real chance to do what needed to be done (arrest the Bidens starting with Hunter, then Comey, then Brennan, the list goes on) because Pence and the others who were silently in on Pence’s plan (swampers) would have immediately invoked the 25th Amendment. That was the trap and kudos to Trump for instinctively knowing he would have been thrown in a mental ward or prison if he made the move to really “stop the steal”.
Where does this leave us..? Secession. Our only hope at this point is to act before we are disarmed en mass. Texas leadership needs to confer with other states and move as one. This is dangerous, because it will be considered “treason”. The master will never allow the salve to escape, because a slavemaster craves power like a drug.
Much as in the founding of America, we need people who will put their name, freedom, and worldly possessions as well as the lives of their families on the line. That’s a big ask for people because they could live comfortably for a good while before we are totally enslaved. That’s what the swamp is betting on… that we don’t have the guts to do it.
Keep in mind people, the 2nd paragraph of the Declaration of Independence says this:
“That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”
So we know we are justified by the words of our founders in this pursuit, rather than treasonous. It goes on to state where we are now, or perhaps what we are on the precipice of encountering. The question becomes a matter of when, not if, in my mind.
Very Well said Tom!! Can you try and get Eric Townson on your show?
I wonder,,, Are you really “breaking into a building” that everyone calls the “Peoples House”?
Is it right for them to demand the People be disarmed and law abiding while they are armed to the teeth and break law repeatably?
Was it constitutional for the Supreme Court to not hear a complaint from the states which was their entire reason for existence?
Is it right for corporations to take the right to speak to the People of a duly elected President?
(I did not vote for this person but he speaks for me once elected.)
Is it right for agencies of the government to go on a witch hunt for protesters, even those who have done nothing?
Is it right to demand the People obey the law but government gets a pass?
Is it right for representatives of the People to pass law that are not in any way in accordance with the supreme law? If so what gives them this right? And when they do are the People supposed to stand by and watch everything those brave men fought for be taken?
Are the People required to obey every law, every regulation and now with the magic virus, every rule put forth constitutional or not?
These are but a few questions from a citizen that took an oath to defend the constitution from enemies foreign and domestic.
First time on this site and my post never saw the light of day. Was it when I mentioned the constitution,,, the declaration? lol.
All over I hear complaints of censorship…. pretty sad when those that complain do the same.
Not censorship Ken, just comment moderation.
President Trump said “What they want is you, I’m just in the way”. They got him out of the way so now these Bolscheviks are coming for you.
This is a great point by Trump and it tracks with what I’ve been saying, Trump is aware of the bigger problem and how best to play this strategically. It’s a point I made on my livestream last night.
Hello People, I never commented before here. I am thinking that Texas could push hard to support the on-going drive for an article V constitutional convention with the the primary goal of breaking from the the Union as it stands now. My understanding is It would be process with no legitimate constitutional federal or institutional power could legally oppose. A national truckers strike could also be folded into the process as a way to get attention for this effort. Keep the process non-violent to claim the moral high ground. Thoughts?
Yes, Dan…. stay as non-violent as possible for as long as possible.
In other words hold until you see the whites oft their rabid and terrified eyes.
FWIW I am a democratic socialist and have been for the last 50 years. I voted for Donald Trump in the last election. In the past I have voted communist(Angelia Davis) and Libertarian.
I am a democrat. In the ’60’s I fought in the streets against the Viet Nam war, I refused induction into the US army and stood trial. I did not run. I will not run now.
I believe President Donald Trump should use the insurrection act to declare martial law and straighten out this mess.
It is what a real democrat would do.
Period.

Nothing in American politics makes any sense. You have an election scripted like a Scooby-Doo plot with villains scarcely more credible than those masked cartoon creatures. You have a President who is vaunted as the most powerful man in the world, but seems utterly incomprehensibly powerless in the face of blatant inyerface skullduggery. You have people who want to sack him in his last week on the job….. And then you have a quasi global kindergarten level media concensus on Trump being a deranged megalomaniac, swallowed and respued by every liberal worth their commie heritage. God cannot return soon enough.
It is surreal isn’t it Marcus
Next steps:-
– children denouncing their parents like Pavlik Morosov – oh wait that is already happening https://www.rt.com/usa/512032-buzzfeed-snitching-capitol-hill/
– restricting the supply of cartridges to police/ army. I hope that you have a reloader
– the Secretary of the Air Force deciding that Ashli Babbitt does not deserve funeral honours since she was a person found to have committed a federal or state capital crime but has not been convicted of such crime by reason of such person not available for trial due to their death
– a purge of the Deplorables from the Armed Forces … this should be interesting since they make up a major proportion of the lower ranks
What has happened since the election of 3 November, 2020, has confirmed my belief that we in the US never had a true opposition party to the hard Left. The Republicans are not it. The shameful cowardice of these state legislatures controlled by Republican majorities proves the point, sorry to say. There will be many political careers ended because of all this. But, many folks will not bother to vote given that election fraud will become the new norm. (Pence was never presidential material, and he will not become president ever.)
Tom, keep the face our President will not let this country continuously be stolen from WeThePeople. He will act! And “Rout the Vipers Out”!
