I spent the last year talking to J6er David Dempsey, recently sentenced to 20 years, from the DC jail unit known as the "patriot wing." There, in their cult-like incubator, the same grievances and conspiracies that led to J6 have continued to fester

Just overheard a very sad inner monologue from a man in the grocery store, standing in front of the ice cream section, who asked himself aloud “do I want ice cream? .... *pause* .. do I deserve ice cream ? No.”

DPS Director Steve McGraw said twice that the cops were the ones who barricaded the shooter into a classroom. That contradicts previous statements by other DPS spox, who said the gunman barricaded himself and immediately began shooting kids.

Amazed that there's not a single mention of the pipe bombs in all 161 pages of the J6 Select Committee's exec summary of their findings, or in their final hearing. Have we all forgotten about the bombs found on J6 - or the fact that the bomb-maker remains at large?

Watching today's hearing on "confronting white supremacy." Rep. Andy Biggs tried to say that the Buffalo shooter was a self-described "socialist." Eric Ward (@BulldogShadow) sets the record straight: The shooter called himself a "national socialist" - in other words, a nazi

A 17-yr-old aspiring cop shot protesters in Kenosha last night. Moments after he killed someone, he's seen on video approaching incoming police vehicles - assault rifle on display, hands above head, in apparent surrender. Cops look right past him

Now in Florida: - A "riot" is now defined as a gathering with 3 or more people. - If they're standing in the street and you feel scared, you can run over literal humans without worrying about a $$ civil lawsuit. - Statues get legal protections.
