Zip tie handcuffs...

 ...and paramilitary gear from head to toe. It appears to be the same man from Michigan. Yet, Majority Leader McConnell is not bothered by it enough to call a special session of the Senate.

Lawlessness has ruled for four years and it is believed to be a worthy cause. Anymore tolerating lawlessness will end. Does McConnell understand that or consent to it?

No one should live in denial. What occurred on January 6, 2021 was practice. They intended to succeed in their idea of importance, but, thwarting it only means they learned from it. The hate for our democracy is real. The resolve to end lawlessness needs to be real, too.

The officer that shot Ms. Babbit was correct in doing so. She was not a protester. The rioters outside the door saw the officers with guns drawn. They verbalized that they saw guns drawn. Ms Babbit knew the consequences of her actions. It begs the question as to the purpose of her actions, she was a trained soldier.

The officer’s actions explains the level of competency behind the protections on the inside of the room. He shot according to his training. He was outnumbered and did the right thing. Considering her training the officer was only going to get one shot. I think that is what she was counting on and took the risk. The officer saved lives. I am confident of that.
