Good morning.

Congress is mounting its strongest challenge yet to President Trump’s Iran War, federal prosecutors have unveiled a sanctions-evasion case tied to Iran’s nuclear program, and investigators in Washington, D.C., are digging deeper into allegations that police officials manipulated crime statistics.

The House of Representatives voted Wednesday to approve a war powers resolution to limit unauthorized American military involvement in Iran.

Sponsored by Rep. Gregory Meeks of New York, the measure would require the White House.

ANALYSIS – As the establishment media, the current Biden administration and its Democrat allies in Congress continue to aggressively push the overwrought narrative that the January 6 Capitol riot was worse than 9/11, while the BLM riots of last year were ‘mostly peaceful,’ here are some simple, undisputed, fully substantiated facts to compare.

We report. You decide.

BLM RIOTS (aka ‘The 2020 Summer of Love’)

  • 2,000 police officers injured nationwide.
  • $2 BILLION in damages (largest riot damages in U.S. history).
  • No rioters were killed by police.
  • 19 people were killed during just 14 days of BLM rioting.
  • The killing of police officers nationwide surged 28% in 2020 during the BLM riots and protests.

CAPITOL RIOT (aka ‘The Deadly Insurrection’)

  • 140 police officers were injured.
  • $1.5 million in damages (including scratches to Nancy Pelosi’s desk and podium).
  • ONE unarmed rioter, Ashli Babbitt, was killed by the Capitol Police, with no public accountability.
  • NO others were killed during the Capitol Riot. * **

*NOTE – As documented above — at the U.S. Capitol, one Capitol Police officer (Brian Sicknick) died of a stroke unrelated to his fight with rioters, and three civilians outside of the Capitol — out of tens of thousands of peaceful protesters — died of medical conditions.)

**NOTE – Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) did claim to suffer severe emotional trauma and PTSD from the Jan. 6 riot — while she was in her office a block away from the Capitol building where the riot occurred.

LEGAL DISCLAIMER ⚠️ – This post is well-documented, constitutionally protected free speech and in no way intended to minimize the violence and criminality of some of those who rioted at the Capitol on Jan. 6. Nor is this intended to, in any way, fall under the currently undefined term of ‘extremism’ being promoted by the partisans and ideologues now running DHS, DOJ, DOD and the VA.

      Which group contained the most ” minorities “? There’s your answer!

    Just thought I should jump in here and mention that the democrats and FBI have just raided Trump’s house in Florida. I consider this an act of war against America. This cannot stand and if the f’ing Republicans are too chicken s’it to start the war then we are going to have to.

    BLM figure they can get away with anything and they usually do without any backflash from anybody. They have done millions of dollars in damage, and nothing was ever said.

      Gus Richards

      Our government, meaning the left wing democrats, is sucking up to that 13% of the population and putting the screws to the other 87%, all to get their votes so they can stay in power. What’s even worse is that the 87% is who’s paying the bills for all the damages and freeloading done by the blm criminals and their followers.

    There was also a woman who was beaten by a Capitol cop who beat her over the head with a police baton then punched her in the stomach. She died. This occurred in a very crowded tunnel with a lot of persons present. Yes it was on tape and yes, like Lt Byrd she (Capitol cop) was excused. Another double standard.

    Laura Wagner

    BLM has been and always will be nothing more than a scam. The national organization has been grabbing money for its founders who then spend it for themselves. They are not accountable to anyone and therefore don’t behave in any way to societal norms, hence the martyrdom of the criminals, George Floyd and others. It is horribly destructive.

    Andy

    I thought there was another death on January 6. Wasn’t Roseanne Boyland beaten to death by metropolitan police?
