Today, with the swearing-in of President Trump, the entire seven-year period that the political establishment in Washington, DC, especially including “professional” prosecutors at the US Dept. of Justice, persecuted President Trump and his staff and supporters, has officially ended.
Along with the hard termination of the Democrat Party’s lawfare comes the immediate release from prison all J6ers, almost all of whom have been pardoned. A handful of J6 convictions were commuted, and may end up as pardons. Among the freed are Jake Lang, who languished in prison, often in solitary confinement, for 1,464 days without a trial.
Despite the US Constitution’s guarantee that all defendants get a speedy trial, for obvious reasons (e.g. so your life is not turned inside out by a drawn out legal process, especially if you are found not guilty), Jake Lang was simply kept in a hole in the ground because the Biden Administration was a cruel and lawless despot. He was never given a chance to defend himself, because he was never officially charged. He was simply held by brute force.
Proud Boys founder Enrique Tario was likewise in prison until today. He was jailed on false charges related to January 6th, even though he was nowhere near Washington DC on January 6th. Like Jake Lang, Tario’s case exemplifies the very worst treatment possible by a lawless and evil government hell-bent to destroy its political adversaries.
Note to the democratically hard of understanding: Using official brute force against your political opponents is lawless and un-democratic.
So it is against this backdrop of immediately ending blatant injustice that we now find America awash in likely criminal defendants. You know, the very same people who lied to put Enrique Tario and Jake Lang in prison without due process. These people are walking targets for the criminal justice system.
And despite Biden’s last-second cavalcade of pardons – all of his family members, Anthony Fauci, murderer Lt. Michael Byrd, all of the corrupt congresspeople who sat on the original January 6th committee and who illegally destroyed the evidence they had amassed – we must remind ourselves that No One Is Above The Law.
Not even Democrats. Almost all of these prospective defendants who abused their official positions of trust in the Biden Administration are Democrats.
Interestingly, a 1915 US Supreme Court precedent requires people who are pardoned to formally accept the pardon, and thereby admit their guilt in having committed a crime.
So the many criminals who have just been named as recipients of Joe Biden’s cover-up pardons do not get off scot-free. They don’t get a Get Out of Jail Free card and just walk off into the sunset. No, every one of these people must now wear the dishonor that comes with having been a pardoned criminal. And being a criminal disqualifies people from holding all kinds of official offices, serving on boards, holding secret clearances, etc. Some might not be able to be seated in Congress.
For example, if Senator Adam Schiff (D-CA) admits that he is a criminal who destroyed evidence in a criminal trial (Schiff sat on the January 6th House Committee), he can be disqualified from holding office, even now.
Schiff et al is definitely guilty of something criminal. Otherwise, what was the pardon for? Innocent people don’t need pardons. One thing for sure, Biden’s pre-crime pardons are a vindication of everything President Trump said about the corrupt Biden Crime Family.
On the other hand, one wonders that in the absence of having been convicted of a crime, the supposed recipients of Biden’s blanket pre-emptive pardons may actually not qualify for the pardon. They were never convicted of something, so what exactly is the pardon for? This would neuter Biden’s jailbreak effort, and leave his family, Fauci, and others vulnerable to official prosecution.
Either way, whether truly pardoned by Biden or only hoped to be pardoned by Biden, these bad people still have some distance to go before they get the benefit out of it. Either way, they come out losers, branded with a scarlet C for Criminal, or eventually prosecuted for their crimes and held acountable through the justice system.
We will not have the answer to this question about Biden’s purported pardons until it is presented to the US Supreme Court, probably in a prosecution of someone like Adam Schiff, who would then have to formally declare that he accepted his criminal pardon.
In the meantime, there are a host of known and not-pardoned corrupt officials that the present government can process through the justice system: James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Rod Rosenstein, Peter Stzrok, Bill Barr, and many others. Thereby demonstrating that NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW, including Democrats.

Lots of discussion about incoming President Trump pardoning the January 6th protestors. Many of whom are political prisoners treated not much differently than political prisoners are treated in places like Iran (look up Evin Prison), whose Constitutional rights have been thrown out the window by sadistic and hyper partisan US Attorney Matthew Graves, as well as the far-Left public defenders who were supposedly representing these defendants, but who were secretly and illegally colluding with the lawless prosecution to deprive them of their due process rights.
J6 people convicted of misdemeanors held for months and even years of solitary confinement, beaten regularly by prison guards, deprived of medical care, deprived of visits by their lawyers and family members. This is all well documented outside of the evil, corrupt, failed, partisan mainstream media.
The Gateway Pundit has done a great job of covering a lot of the official lawlessness surrounding literally all of the January 6th defendants. At no point in their un-earned trip through the Washington DC area criminal justice system did they receive even a modicum of due process. From faked police reports to outright lies and suppressed evidence by prosecutors in the courtroom, to openly biased and hyper politicized judges whose decisions mocked American jurisprudence standards and basic due process requirements, none of the J6 defendants have received a fair treatment.
Not one.
I was at the January 6th 2021 peaceful protest at the US Capitol, and in about a week I will be posting here the pictures and videos I took of the unbelievable, unprovoked police brutality we law-abiding protestors experienced at the hands of uniformed police officers there that day. I myself watched in horror as the police reached across the barricades to shoot, beat, bludgeon, punch, hit, smack, chemically spray, and bomb Americans who were doing nothing but exercising their Constitutional right to peaceably assemble and petition their government for redress.
In any other protest this police misconduct would have been news, and subject to congressional action, and lawsuits.
One guy I remember clearly, dressed in a business suit, had an American flag in his left hand. He was standing quietly at the barricades. Suddenly a police flashbang went off in his face, launched from maybe ten feet away and aimed carefully at him, and he staggered backwards. His face was blasted white from the explosive charge, and blood ran down his skin. He was clearly knocked backwards and severely hurt, and other protestors guided him back, away from the barricade, to a place where he could receive first aid from his fellow Americans.
At no point did any police officers there attempt to render aid to him, or to anyone else they wounded, damaged, injured, hurt or attacked. The police were simply there to attack us, even though we had done nothing wrong. This wounded guy was recently interviewed (I am looking for the video), and his face is not fully healed four years later.
At a certain point the protestors had had enough. They had received their fill of abuse from the lawless uniformed people who are sworn to uphold the law and to protect us citizens. At a certain point the protestors decided to make a point, that the area around The People’s House is not off limits to We, The People. We pay for it, we pay for its upkeep, we pay for the salaries and benefits of those working inside of it, and we pay for the salaries and benefits of the very police officers who were illegally hurting us that day. We have every right to protest there.
In a sane and law-abiding world, I dont see how a person can make a real strong case for why the otherwise peaceful protestors should not have crossed the barricades on January 6th, given all the brutal physical abuse they had endured.
I don’t care who a J6 defendant is, or what he or she did that day. People who hit police officers over the head with flag poles did so out of self-defense. I watched a large white guy in a yellow shirt slugging it out with a cop on the Capitol steps. He was filled with rage at having been mistreated badly by the officer, and he justifiably wanted revenge. That is human nature. And I am sure he has by now been fully, sadistically, and lawlessly prosecuted by the lawless Biden DOJ.
None of these defendants should be in jail, none of them should have a criminal record from January 6th. Every single one of them must be pardoned, exonerated, and their record purged by the incoming president. Moreover, every one of these defendants is entitled to a full financial settlement from the American government, to compensate them for their financial losses, their legal bills, their pain and suffering at the hands of public servants whose job it is to ensure we citizens are treated properly.
Additionally, America must have a full accounting into which individual officers conducted themselves in a lawless fashion on January 6th. These officers must be criminally prosecuted, along with the lawless prosecutors like Matthew Graves, and the backstabbing public defenders.
And every pitbull lawyer in America should start filing civil rights lawsuits against the police and their enablers for the rampant civil rights violations that defined January 6th. Sign me up, because my right eye still has a large blood clot in it from the severe police pepper spraying I got at J6, despite my distance from the barricade.
President Trump, you must pardon Every. Single. January 6th. Defendant.
And, Mister President, you must go after the law-breaking DOJ prosecutors who created this unfair mess. Prosecutors and FBI agents (more on them later) who abused their public positions to implement their personal hatred against American citizens they wrongly perceive as their enemies must be fully held to account. Lock them up in the same dungeons they put our people in, and throw away the key.

This week, Amanda Knox took the witness stand in her own defense, a highly unusual move for the truly guilty.
Her desperate, earnest, tearful plea for justice moved the Italian jury to vacate the bizarre judgment against her. Italian prosecutors had accused Knox of wild sexual behavior that, in most people’s minds, exists only among Italy’s most liberated citizens.
Italy is famous for its beautiful country, high-minded art, and also infamous for corruption and a perennially weak military whose inadequacies reflect the deepest failings of Italian society.
Italy’s pervasive culture of corruption, at least by Western standards, has been on vivid parade this past year with constant reporting about prime minister Silvio Berlusconi’s sexcapades on the public dime, and financial misdeeds. As a man, I gotta recognize impressive performance when I see it, and Silvio, old buddy, you are both a total stud and a terrible public servant. At least by my American values.
Earlier this year, PBS ran a three-part series called “Zen,” a cool-sounding Bhuddist name, but which according to the show’s producers is actually an old Venetian (Venice) name. Venice…the romantic, mysterious city of love. Intriguing, right?
In this TV show, Zen is an Italian police detective known for being honest and an unlikely survivor of Italy’s rampant official corruption. Viewers enjoy a voluptuous tour of Italy’s women, architecture, wine, cars, rural countryside, and, yes, the beautiful Machiavellian art of public corruption.
PBS is not in the business of damaging relationships with liberals, so if there is any truth to “Zen,” Italy is one screwed up country. Everyone is obsessed with sex, money, power, and using power to get women and money. The women are depicted as seductive, manipulative, and obsessed with money and capturing men. Especially married men. So, I admit to watching “Zen” to great entertainment. Especially with my wife. It’s pretty hot. At least by my American standards.
Is “Zen” a fair description of Italy? Are press reports about Berlusconi representative of Italy-at-large?
A popular Italian joke I have lifted from my old friend Trish at mozzarellamamma.com answers this question, and goes like this:
A husband and a wife are at an expensive restaurant. While seated at the table, a beautiful, leggy, buxom blond in a low-cut dress comes up and kisses the husband. “Ciao, Amore,” she says, before waltzing off.
“Who was that?” demands the wife.
“My lover,” answers the husband nonchalantly.
“WHAT?” the wife nearly screams. “How dare you take a lover!”
The husband leans across the table and says, “I will give you five minutes to think about it, and if you do not like it, you can get up and leave.”
The wife is silent. She looks around at the elegant restaurant, her jewel-laden fingers, and her mink coat, all a product of her marriage, and she thinks.
While she is thinking over his proposition, Giovanni, a colleague of her husband, comes up to their table to greet them. At his side is a young, buxom brunette, pretty but not quite as tall and leggy as the blond lover. They chat for a minute and the couple leaves.
“Who was that woman?” the wife asks.
“She is Giovanni’s lover,” the husband responds.
“Well, our lover is prettier than their lover,” the wife answers, making her final choice and her loyalty evident.
This uniquely Italian joke illuminates how cheating on your spouse is acceptable in Italy. Although legal since 1970, divorce is far less acceptable. According to mozzarellamamma.com, this arrangement “is part of the Catholic culture that men and women may be forgiven for taking lovers, but not for divorcing and breaking up a family. The family is sacred. For many reasons, it has therefore become acceptable to take lovers.”
Back to Amanda Knox, alone in a fantastic society whose values are upside down from the ones she grew up with in America. She is in a beautiful, screwed up society that she does not understand. And her misunderstanding nearly lands her in jail for life.
Italian prosecutors are used to dealing with perversion, wild and kinky sex, and the passionate violence that seems to ever accompany those practices. It was easy for the Italian prosecutors to fabricate a fantastic case, and to accuse delicate Amanda of being something other than she appears. After all, it’s totally Italian to be what they claimed she was, and anyone as sweet as Amanda must actually be the opposite of what she appears. That is the Italian way, apparently. Their claim was believable enough to Italian judges and the first jury, who wrongly convicted Amanda on those titillating, exciting, mental images alone.
But Amanda is not Italian; she is a product of American culture, which remains Puritanical at its core, Thank God.
During her appeal, when the light of day was focused on the prosecution’s insane house of cards that summed up the totality of the evidence against Amanda, good-hearted Italian jurors could not help but shake their heads in disbelief and let Amanda go home to her boring country. Amanda was clearly out of her league, but she was not a murderer or sex-crazed dominatrix, either. Italians know their business and recognized a fake when they saw one. Amanda, you are not one of us and you do not deserve to be punished, the jury must have concluded.
And Amanda came home to Wonderful Perfect Amazing America.
Welcome back to old fuddy-duddy America, Amanda, back to the land of Dagwood and Blondie Bumstead. Back to the land of The Rule of Law. Yes, we are boring. Yes, we are not extravagant. Yes, we are simple. Yes, we are not pseudo-sophisticated. And aren’t you glad of those facts?
America, love it or leave it! And if you leave it, be ready for the ride of your life.
