Military to stand down while investigators cleanse the ranks of political instigators, we are hearing it from the Business Establishment from wall street,r from the massive multinational corporations that increasingly control the all of them now on The Hunt For Political N extremists.

Loony lies, conspiracy theories are cancer for the Republican Party and our country. Somebody that suggested perhaps no airplane hit the Pentagon On 9 11, that horrifying School Shootings were prestaged, that the clintons crashed jfk jr. s airplane is not living in reality.

Crimes and an insurrection and where we go from here as a nation. In fact, these two stories that i just mentioned to you tonight, theyre linked. How does President Biden work with a party that has some of its prominent leaders lying about his lawful victory and some, and to be precise and fair not all, but some elected republicans minimizing the violence that left five dead at the capitol. How do you do negotiations over the basics when you dont have any understanding on the fundamentals . There are a lot of Smart Thinkers whove studied these types of issues in different societies and a lot of progressives right now around the Biden Administration who say there can be no unity, no true democracy under the rule of law, unless there are facts and accountability first. Keep that in mind as you see this news tonight. Former President Trump wants to exploit the upcoming trial as a chance to double down on the election lie that partly fed the insurrection.
