WHAT J6 IS AND NEVER WAS
[Victor Davis Hanson quote]
On this second anniversary, Joe Biden and his ilk will once again
divide us with demagoguery.

/ DOUGLAS ANDREWS / JANUARY 6, 2023
Today marks the second anniversary
[[link removed]] of
the January 6
[[link removed]] “insurrection,”
which means Joe Biden will dutifully and shamefully remind us for the
zillionth time just how godawful that day was, and just how perilously
close we came to “losing our democracy” to an utterly disorganized
mob of mostly middle-aged white guys with flag poles.
It’s a Republic, but whatever.
Indeed, the utter inability unwillingness of Biden and his fellow
Democrats to let that sad day slip off into history calls to mind the
trial lawyer who can’t pound the facts and can’t pound the law and
is therefore left to pound only the table. Nancy Pelosi
[[link removed]] became
a consummate table-pounder during her histrionic J6 inquisition
[[link removed]] this
past year.
In accordance with Biden’s duties as demagogue-in-chief, he will
thus award
[[link removed]] the
Presidential Citizens Medal “to a dozen election workers, officials,
and law enforcement officers for ‘contributions to our democracy’
before and during the riot,” according to a White House official.
Not only that. As Politico reports
[[link removed]],
“Biden will use Friday’s address to again put center stage the
danger and chaos posed by election deniers even as the November
elections in which many of them lost their races for office begin to
fade from view.” In addition, President Unitus will uphold his
Inauguration Day promise to unify the nation by again linking
Republicans “to the extremists who attempted to forcibly overturn
the results of Donald Trump’s defeat.”
At the same time, we suspect Scranton Joe will avoid any mention of
the more serious matters that really _do_ threaten
our democracy Republic — matters that historian, classicist, and
Central Valley farmer Victor Davis Hanson reminds us of in a grimly
thoughtful column
[[link removed]] called
“The Coup We Never Knew.” Regarding the war on our immigration
laws and the war on Election Day, he writes:
What happened to the U.S. border? Where did it go? Who erased it? Why
and how did 5 million people enter our country illegally? Did Congress
secretly repeal our immigration laws? …
Since when did the people decide that 70 percent of voters would not
cast their ballots on Election Day? Was this revolutionary change the
subject of a national debate, a heated congressional session, or the
votes of dozens of state legislatures?
Hanson also hits the war on national solvency, the war on fossil
fuels, the war on gender, the war on racial equality, the war on our
military, the war on equal justice under the law, the war on law
enforcement, and more. None of these counts as a coup in the
traditional sense, but all of them count as such in the sense of a
sustained and multipronged leftist assault on our Republic.
As for January 6, columnist Julie Kelly reminds us of the grotesque
government overreach that continues to this day. The prosecutorial
toll is staggering, but the recent arrests of a Washington state
couple, Scott and Holly Christensen, are particularly outrageous.
Kelly writes
[[link removed]]:
What exactly did these alleged “domestic terrorists” do? They
entered the Capitol through open doors as police officers stood by.
Carrying no weapons, the couple took photos inside the Rotunda and
wandered through some hallways; surveillance video shows Holly
Christensen talking to a Capitol police officer. At another point,
Scott Christensen chatted with a D.C. Metro police officer, a
conversation captured on a body-worn camera. Police led the pair
toward an exit door about 45 minutes later without arresting them.
For these non-grievous non-offenses, this couple will now have their
lives destroyed by Merrick Garland’s Department of Justice and by
the mainstream media.
Doesn’t the Biden administration have anything better to do?
“Our work is far from over,” AG Garland said, bragging about how
the work of his apparatchiks “continues to move forward at an
unprecedented speed and scale” to mete out “justice” for an
assault that leftist propagandists have shamefully likened to Pearl
Harbor, the Oklahoma City bombing, and 9/11.
“It’s a feat of political sorcery,” Kelly writes, “fueled by
lies, cover-ups, and careerism, not entirely unlike the first war on
terror — to transform an unruly, four-hour protest into an act of
domestic terror.”
Likewise, the efforts of the Biden administration to keep J6 alive and
to turn it into something it never was is a feat of poisonous
political demagoguery.
It needs to be said.
