January 6th is nothing more than a witch hunt

Over 700 people have been charged for their roles in the events that occurred at the capital on January 6th. Merrick Garland vowed to hold accountable those responsible, "whether they were present that day or were otherwise criminally responsible for the assault on our democracy". 

He doesn't seem to have been nearly as passionate or vocal about all the people that caused death and destruction, for months on end, during the antifa/blm riots. Is anyone really surprised by the double standard?

In addition to the biased representation by the media, those leaning right have been unfairly discriminated against by crowdfunding sources and financial institutions. Plenty of GoFundMe accounts were set up to bail out people arrested during the antifa/blm riots but accounts for January 6th participants and Kyle Rittenhouse were shut down. 

Truckers in the convoy that were supporting our freedoms had their bank accounts frozen without cause. Democrats, celebrities and the media promoted protests and violence to demand justice for what the left perceived was discrimination...yet these instigators have never been accused of being domestic terrorists or insurrectionists.

It seems that anyone that stands up for what is right, the constitution, morality, common sense & freedom is labeled a domestic terrorist. If you want your country to abide by the constitution and to uphold the current laws, without bowing to the woke mob that wants to cancel the things they don't agree with, you're an insurrectionist. If you want your children to be taught reading, writing and arithmetic...but not sexuality and the like, you're a bigot.

Gun Control

Some members of congress, and the president, want new gun laws put in place. They want to ban magazines that hold more than 10 rounds, thereby making most existing pistols illegal, automatically. I'm still trying to understand how these people think implementing new laws will, somehow, convince criminals to stop doing criminal shit.

All this is going to do is increase the number of underground gun sales and turn law abiding citizens into criminals if they don't allow currently owned firearms to be grandfathered in.

Perhaps if they'd get rid of "GUN FREE" zones, where criminals know they can commit their crimes with little resistance, things would be different.

Perhaps if we secured our schools and protected our children as well as we do members of congress, things would be different.

Perhaps if we raised our children to know right from wrong and to not believe they are victims that are entitled to "justice" when they get offended, things would be different. 

Mass shootings weren't even a thing until the last several decades, yet guns were around and easily accessible all this time. Many families owned guns and taught their children to use and respect firearms. We need to get back to the ways of the early 1900's and teach our children real values and morality. The recent push for acceptance and wokeness has turned our society into mentally unstable cowards that can't handle real world situations.

It's not Putin's Fault

Average unleaded gas prices in the US since 2017:

January 2017 - $2.28

January 2021 - $2.45

May 2022 - $5.00+

Trump managed to keep the increase under a quarter during his 4 years. Biden has doubled it in less than 2.

Even if it's "Putin's Fault", it's really Biden's fault for being such a weak leader that other countries will exploit our failures. Every other country is going to try to take advance of the US until we get strong leadership back in the white house.

Raising Taxes Impacts Us All

Biden continues to talk about how the rich need to pay their "fair share", which seems to translate into a higher tax bracket than the rest of us. For years, people have asked why we don't have a flat tax rate like 10% across the board. Seems to me, that would be the true way to calculate the "fair share" of taxes on each person or corporation.

Frankly, it pisses me off that the more hours I work, and the more money I make, the higher rate of taxes they take out. Why is that? You're penalizing me for busting my ass to feed my family. Then they take my tax money and give it to someone that isn't working at all. How is that "FAIR"??

And what does he think will happen when he raises taxes on the rich? There are 2 main options that I can see happening from this.

1. The price of consumer goods will go up to compensate for the additoinal taxes, which just screws the middle class in the end, as usual.

2. These "ultra-wealthy" folks will take their companies, and jobs, somewhere else that will give them incentives for providing the very jobs that the middle class relies on to support their families. Thus, screwing the middle class, again!

Not to mention, all he's doing it changing the starting point at which taxes are calculated. Unless he's going to do away with the loopholes and tax breaks that these folks are using to avoid paying so much, he's only changing the starting point, not the end result, like he claims. But, if he gets rid of the loopholes, he'll hurt himself and his rich friends in Washington so, that will never happen.

What Happened, America?

Do you remember how Americans "joined hands" after the 9/11 attacks on our country? We were united, against those that would attempt to destroy our way of life. We weren't black & white, republican & democrat. We were Americans and we all wanted justice for the attacks on our country.

What happened? When did we lose sight of what is important? Fighting about who is better based on politics, gender or race? Or working together to show terrorists, foreign & domestic, that we are Americans! And we will not stand by while you violate our lives, liberty and pursuit of happiness.

Don't let them divide us. The government wants to run our loves and the only way to do that is by pitting us against each other so we won't work together to resist them. Don't let it happen! Do your research. Know who you're voting for. Be kind to your neighbors and strangers. Don't sweat the small stuff. And don't depend on politicians or the MSM to give you the truth.

We are Americans! Let's act like it and stand up for our country and all those that have suffered and died to preserve our way of life.
