Will January 6th one day become a U.S. ‘Bastille Day’?
Why was the most conspicuous J-6 “insurrectionist” not arrested?
On Jan. 10, 2021, I submitted an article to another publication titled “President Trump Takes a Hit for the Team.” The article appeared on Jan. 12 of that year minus only the last sentence.
It read as follows, “If we the people refuse to apologize, refuse to back down, refuse to submit, January 6 may one day be celebrated as a mid-winter 4th of July.”
I understood the publisher’s prudence. At the time we all labored under the belief that Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick had been struck dead by a fire extinguisher-wielding “insurrectionist.”
…Unlike their betters in polite America, the J6 patriots had sussed out the rot of the ancien regime and saw it as their civic duty to speak out against it. At least four died so doing.
The Democrats excite themselves by comparing January 6 to Sept. 11, 2001, or even Dec. 7, 1941, but a more apt point of comparison might be July 14, 1789.
How LBJ’s ‘Box 13’ foretold America’s future of stolen elections
It is not often I “go” to the movies these days, but the trip to see the recently released “Turn Every Page” proved to be worth
it. The movie documents the 50-year working relationship between writer Robert Caro and his editor, Robert Gottlieb. Trust me, it is better than it sounds.
Caro, now 86, is working to complete the fifth and final volume of his classic series on Lyndon Baines Johnson. Gottlieb, now 91, is helping him polish it. I have read the previous four volumes as well as Caro’s debut book about legendary developer Robert Moses, “The Power Broker.” Among his contemporaries, Caro has no peer.
