- It was five years ago Tuesday when the U.S. Capitol came under siege by a bunch of Trump supporters unable to accept his defeat in the November 2020 presidential election. While it was sorry day in our nation's history and should never be whitewashed as just "bunch of people peacefully walking the halls," it was also not even close to the worst day our Republic has ever witnessed, despite what progs and other anti-Trumpers may proclaim.
So on the 5-year anniversary of the 1/6/2021 riots, it's not all that shocking that progs are still making mountains out of molehills over that day, especially now that Donald Trump is POTUS again.

Remember how leftists accused the political right of being overly dramatic about the attack on the American consulate in Benghazi, Libya back in September 2012, where there were actual American casualties (unlike Jan. 6)? In the minds of progs, they view the Capitol riots in the manner they believe the right emphasized Benghazi.
- Gov. Tim Walz officially dropping his reelection bid was a blow.....to Republicans. While I don't believe he was directly complicit in the rampant welfare fraud in Minnesota nor would I suggest he covered it up, the fact remains this all occurred while he was the state's top executive. And that made him incredibly vulnerable in the 2026 cycle.
Here's the latest instance of fraud.

Remember this tweet by former President Barack Obama after the first legislative session of a 2-year DFL trifecta?

That tweet could be written word-for-word today with the word "consequences" taking on an entirely different connotation.
- Michael Reagan, the eldest son of former President Ronald Reagan, passed away Sunday at the age of 80.
"It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Michael Edward Reagan," his family said in a statement. "Michael was and will always remain a beloved husband, father, and grandpa. Michael was called home to be with the Lord on Sunday, January 4th, surrounded by his entire family in Los Angeles, California. Our hearts are deeply broken as we grieve the loss of a man who meant so much to all who knew and loved him.
"We appreciate your prayers and ask that you would respect our family’s privacy during this difficult time."
Reagan was a conservative author, nationally syndicated radio talk show host and frequent public speaker who spent decades actively defending and promoting his father’s legacy through close involvement with the Reagan Library and Foundation.
The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute said it "mourns the passing of Michael Reagan," describing him as "a steadfast guardian of his father’s legacy."
"Michael Reagan lived a life shaped by conviction, purpose, and an abiding devotion to President Reagan’s ideals," the foundation said in the statement.
I actually had the privilege of meeting Michael back in the fall of 2011. He was gracious enough to stop by a NARN broadcast Mitch and I were conducting at a Bloomington conservative gathering.
