Showing Respect for the Capitol Building: The difference between censoring Al Green, and the J6 protestors

I was standing next to Speaker Johnson’s office door with Steve Scalise when they had departed from the Well due to the censoring of Al Green.  And their strategy, the low-life Democrats, was to sing in protest in solidarity for their fallen friend, the leftist radical who protested at Trump’s State of the Union speech just a few days prior.  Without a doubt, I would not have been standing in front of that same door just a few months earlier while Nancy Pelosi was in charge of being a speaker in that same position.  With Republicans in charge of the House and Senate, I liked the Capitol building a lot more.  And I was proud of Republicans for censoring Green for being disruptive and disrespectful.  I think nobody should even enter the Capitol building without a jacket and tie, so his goofy ponytail is not something I have any tolerance for.  And as I stood there, I thought about the difference between what the Democrats had done to protest Trump and what Trump supporters had done on January 6th of 2021, and I felt more resolved than ever in the differences.  In the case of Al Green, Speaker Johnson showed respect for the voters’ decisions and protected the conduct within the People’s House, where the “people’s” business was to be done.  While on the January 6th protests that Democrats tried to paint as an “insurrection” against our government where people were harmed and killed through violent actions, the government was working against the people and showing them disrespect in insisting that a process be altered that would have prevented election fraud, and remove the people’s pick for representation.  So they were not the same things at all, even though they were both a form of protest.  So when Johnson put down the gavel to declare a recess, the protestors were cleared out after the censor vote of Al Green. I was proud of him and his fellow Republicans for protecting civility so good work could be done in that magnificent building. 

I do a thing that I think is helpful on a quantum level: when President Trump gives vital and specific speeches that are life-changing, I like to backtrack his steps so that I can absorb the neutrinos that fly through that area and still carry information from the event itself through quantum entanglement.  This means that even if years have passed since the event, standing in the same spot where Trump gave a speech can still have information residue from that event, and for me, it helps me see the world the way that Trump saw it when he gave the speech.  I have done that at Mt. Rushmore with the big speech Trump gave in South Dakota during the last year of his presidency during the first term.  It was a very dark time when I visited the spot where he spoke then, and it helped me to walk in the shoes of Trump and measure the courage it took to deliver that groundbreaking, patriotic speech.  And, of course, there was this visit to the Capitol building, which I felt I had to do: stand in the Rotunda where Trump gave his magnificent Inauguration speech for 2025.  My wife and I found the place on the floor where he spoke, and we looked out into the room the way that Trump would have seen it, full of people packed tightly together.  It looked great on camera, but in person, it was a tight space with incredible historical meaning.  And it lived up to the lofty ambitions of the Capitol itself. 

Time is not as linear as we would like to think it is; time folds over and reoccurs through particle science, even over thousands of years.  The thought is that neutrino particles travel faster than the speed of light and bounce all over the universe constantly, and information is carried quantumly outside of dimensional space that may be located in specific places relative to time.  In ghost hunting, we call those hauntings where a person’s spirit or the recording of an event in time still resides on that quantum wave carrying just the shadow of the event itself.  But even in places like the Capitol building, where many things have happened over the years, most pass by uneventfully and don’t carry much weight in the scheme of things.  But these days, since Trump’s inauguration, there has been a lot happening, and much of it has been considerable and meaningful, and you can feel that overlap of quantum science if you are tuned into it a bit, and it carries with it extra meaning and information.  With that said, I enjoyed visiting the Capitol with my wife.  We watched the censor activities and looked around in the crypt where George Washington was supposed to be buried, but he abandoned the enterprise, preferring to be buried on his property instead upon his death, which is more of that particle science that I was talking about, something that the Egyptians thought an awful lot about.  And we enjoyed the grandeur of the place built to carry human efforts to maximum output.  The building was fantastic, but people often don’t meet its lofty expectations.

The spot where Trump spoke during his inauguration

We spent the day at the Capitol, getting to know it the way I thought it deserved to be understood, especially in the context of history.  I believe that America is just getting started and that all the intentions of building that building were getting underway instead of what they tell you on the tours, discussing the history of the place.  It has taken America a few hundred years to figure out what we should be doing with places like our Capitol building. Closing the doors and prosecuting J6th protestors was not one of them.  But censoring the pony-tail hippie protestor, Al Green, was.  As my wife and I grabbed a hamburger in the Capitol cafeteria, with other elected officials running around doing the same, many of the people we see on television all the time, the world was a much better place with Republicans controlling the House and Senate.  The Capitol building was built to carry America to lofty, ambitious ideas of law and order.  Of serious philosophic consideration and historical significance.  And Democrats were trying to avoid those lofty concepts with flower child protests and victimization politics, which was disrespectful to the building itself.  Speaker Johnson and the majority of the Republicans were paying respect to the process of doing business in our Capitol building, and all was good.  But in J6, the people were there to remove those disrespecting the place with physical force.  And in many ways, because of that, the Capitol was living up to its historical significance.  The Trump speech in the rotunda probably never would have happened, but because it had, the people’s business was getting done, and the tolerance for villainy, and disrespect was very low these days, which I wanted to see for myself and was confirmed.  I love our Capitol building and would encourage all who enter there to be lofty and have high expectations for themselves and the business conducted there.  You are lucky to have the chance, so live up to it, and do not cry about silly things.  And don’t go there looking like a slob with a ponytail to protest whether or not Trump had a mandate by the people to do their work.  History will never forget it, but long after many of those protestors are long gone, they and their lack of ambition will carry nothing to be remembered and their lives will be thrown away worthlessly toward ambitions not worthy of such a grand place as the U.S. Capitol building.  And for anyone who goes, wear a suit or tie while doing business there.  Show respect!

Revenge is the Right Word: We deserve a Resurrection for what our government did to the J6 Prisoners

We are not obligated to take the edge off our speech when it comes to the preponderance of evil that was on full display against American reformers during the Biden administration.  We witnessed a government that did not feel it had to report to the American voter perform a coup against a popularly picked president, our representative in government, which was a significant crime.  An unforgivable crime.  In every way possible, the protestors, known now as the J6 prisoners, had a right to storm the capitol and water the tree of liberty with the blood of the deceivers.  History under any other consideration would not frown upon it.  We had a case on January 6th 2021 where our government had become so big and bloated that they could hide their crimes behind their ability to make laws up as they went, and could ignore the rules we had on the books, so in many ways, the government in my view got off lucky that a very small percentage of Trump supporters came uncorked and stormed the Capitol to show the government who was boss.  As I have said, I would have done things differently, and I did. There are other ways to handle those kinds of situations legally.  But the government needed to feel the sting of a slap in the face, and the J6 protestors did a crucial job.  They needed to let the government know that they weren’t in charge, that it was the people who were.  And I think what happened that day scared the government in a way that makes all the good things happening now possible.  Trump and all of us have earned the right to rip the scab off the wound that the government created for the preservation of the government at our expense.  So let’s start there with that premise of authenticity. 

Washington D.C. is a much better place with Trump in the White House. He made a great decision to have the Inauguration in the Capitol Rotunda. Almost on the same spot that my wife is standing

On day one of President Trump’s I return to the White House, he signed pardons for most of the J6 prisoners who were arrested for their involvement in storming the Capitol four years earlier and not given any kind of due process.  Their Constitutional rights were violated grotesquely up to that point, so it was good that Trump did the right thing and signed an executive order letting them out of prison.  I watched those ceremonies with some satisfaction because it was the result of a minor miracle.  The reform movement needed people like the J6 prisoners to shake up the comfort level of an out-of-control government.  And it also took the massive work of people like I know, who work things out legally behind the scenes, and was able to prove election fraud way beyond a reasonable doubt during the 2020 election.  The culmination of all those events led to a miracle in many ways, such as Trump getting back into office after winning the election of 2024, way beyond a reasonable doubt, and putting law and order back on the side of the Constitution.  It was a razor’s edge that we had all been walking on, too much one way or the other, and we probably wouldn’t have had a country left.  We had to play by the law to enforce the law, and that was the only way that the J6 prisoners were ever going to get out of jail.  They had been detained for years and had lost all their personal freedom just for protesting a government that had grown out of control and turned into a menace against its own people.  And here was Trump, probably the most tormented soul of them all who had been tossed into exile, returning on the strength of our law and order to turn the tables on the bad guys without violence, but with the rule of law.  And I thought it was quite extraordinary. 

The Supreme Court and the Library of Congress next to each other in the back of the Capitol building. Probably the smartest place on Earth. And it belongs to the American people. Not politicians who come and go.

So much so that my wife and I, early in 2025, went to Washington, D.C., to heal a bit.  These last four years have been difficult, especially for my family.  I live these issues full time, so it makes it impossible for my family to escape them.  So, going to Washington D.C., the Imperial Capitol as they call it, and reclaiming it as our own was a big step for us.  For many years, I have seen Washington, D.C., as a separate place owned and operated by the globalist opposition, which it was never supposed to be.  It is considered to be the stronghold of self-government.  So for our needs, my wife and I visited Washington D.C. and the Capitol Building as a kind of resurrection exercise to put everything in context.  We were there for Trump’s magnificent speech and to witness the town as a place dealing with the inevitable turn of tables on the day that J6 happened, when our President had been removed from office, cast away, and rejected by an administrative state that thought it had the power to do it.  It never did; we had to go back to the crime scene knowing what we do now to see how the future would be built in the context of history.  It’s nice to see everything and reflect on the Constitution’s importance.  And to see Trump back in the White House with Elon Musk running up and down Pennsylvania Avenue using D.O.G.E. to make permanent spending cuts to that same bloated government.  We all did a lot to get this chance at an American resurrection, and for us, it felt like we were planting the flag of victory onto a vile enemy and were retaking our Capitol from hostile foreign insurgents who have been plotting our demise for centuries, and it felt good.  But that doesn’t change what happened and what we must do about it.  The crime of election fraud that was done to us was far worse than whatever crimes were tossed at the J6 protestors, and the correct terminology regarding it can only be revenge.  Revenge was needed, not just retribution. 

The Library of Congress, an astonishingly intelligent place!

Now that they are free from prison, the J6 prisoners are telling about their experiences, and many were tortured while they were in jail.  They didn’t know if President Trump would return to the White House.  They were staring down a bottomless well of injustice, with correctional officers spitting in their food and treating them horribly in solitary confinement.  Many of them endured horrible conditions in prison, abused by a system that thought it was untouchable from justice.  And revenge is the only word we can use to keep it from happening again.  These prisoners had their 4th, 5th, and 6th Amendments violated severely, and we can’t just look away and forget about it.  We took back our capital from those holding it hostage for our entire lifetimes.  Never before did someone like a Trump get a chance to address with the authority of being a resurrected survivor the hellhound revenge that is perfectly justified now and will continue for many years.  We must never forget what the bad guys did to us.  Revenge is the only justifiable remedy for what they did, and we walked that thin line to enforce it.  Everyone involved on the bad side should consider themselves lucky that we are willing to stick by the law and give them their due process because they don’t deserve it.  They deserve everything and worse for what they did, and now they will have to pay for it.  But what’s different for us is that we do respect the law, and we will use the law to get revenge on those who broke it and tried to destroy our country and all of us with it.

When Police Break the Law, They Have to be Punished: The J6 prisoners never should have spent one day in jail

I said it right after the event; everyone can look up all the videos and see what I wrote then.  I always said that the January 6th incident in 2021, when people were upset at election fraud and stormed the Capitol Building, had to happen.  I didn’t understand why everyone made such a big deal about it.  After all, there was a government that just stole an election to perform a coup against President Trump, and they thought they were going to get away with it like some backwoods third-world armpit of a country.  A certain percentage of the population needed to express their anger in some way, and in this case, it was by letting the government know that the people’s house was theirs and that they could take it back if they wanted to.  Now, there are all kinds of things wrong with that day, especially among the 26 FBI agents who spread out through the massive crowd around the Capitol to bait people to break the law so that they could call the whole thing an insurrection so that they could blame Trump for it and in the process, destroy his political life from then on.  When a massive crowd showed up to hear with some hope, Trump’s last speech to them ahead of certifying the election results, the FBI, in coordination with Nancy Pelosi and others, plotted with some bait to push these angry people into a collective action that they could use to club the MAGA movement over the head and deter any further protests against the government coup.  And some people broke windows and acted in a manner that I would never do.  And a few people died and got hurt.  But my attitude about it all then and now was, what did anybody expect to happen?  The government stole an election and took away a president people liked.  They were lucky that was all that happened, “they” being the government.

So it had to happen that Trump pardoned all the poor people who were thrown in jail for the last four years just over a government trying hard to stay in power through intimidation and force.  When the government breaks the law and controls how the law is interpreted, you cannot have a civil society if law enforcement doesn’t enforce the law but provokes themselves into breaking the law and uses the law to cover up their crimes, which was what happened on January 6th, 2021.  We have a Constitution that limits the power that government has, especially specified in the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Amendments, and the January 6th prisoners had all those rights violated unjustly.  Their due process was deliberately violated, and what was done to them was completely unforgivable.  Law enforcement should expect people to fight back if they violate the protections people have from an out-of-control government.  Democrats have been saying that Trump should have never released with a pardon most of the J6 prisoners because they assaulted police officers.  But when police officers break the law or the enemy captures your legal society, what are you supposed to do?  The plan by the government was to capture our legal system and then break laws by controlling the enforcement.  And they thought nothing of using the January 6th incident to put people in jail to send a message to the rest of the country that if they were thought to be involved, even remotely, in a plot against the corrupt government, they would have their rights taken away from them and would be jailed as a message to the rest of the world.  It was nasty stuff.

I would never do anything like the J6 protestors did.  I would fight it out in court.  As much as it is fun to fight back and even justified, I do much better with my mouth than any other method, and I would use it instead of violence.  I’ve been in enough of those things to know that my mouth is the best weapon against corrupt people who aren’t nearly as smart.  I had a lot of talks with people who wanted a lot more violence that day.  I even took serious steps to join the Proud Boys after the stolen election in 2020, so I know those guys pretty well.  It didn’t work out; I’m too cerebral to march around in a pack of volunteer ground troops. I wanted to join to help to lead them to good things.  Not to be just another face in the crowd.  So it didn’t come together, me joining the Proud Boys.  But that’s how it was after the election, and I had to explain to many people that the best way to club these people over the head is with lawfare of their own.  Trump understood that even if he knew what the government was doing was wrong, he had to follow the rules to later enforce the rules.  A lot of the reason things are working so well now is because Trump played by the rules, and the people elected him back to office.   We all had to thread the needle pretty well to get to this period because there were a lot of people who wanted open violence and another Civil War against the government, and I can say I did all I could to maintain peace during this challenging time.  But many people were ready to fight, so the government was lucky that all that happened was all that happened. 

Anybody in law enforcement has to understand that if they take orders from the bad guys, we don’t have a blank check society that is going to take it.  We give law enforcement the authority to be treated with respect.  But it’s on them if they lose that respect through improper behavior.  I can say this: I served this past year as a Forman of a Grand Jury, and we did a couple of cases where the police abused their authority in collecting evidence for an arrest.  I could see from the testimony that the police officers were frustrated with their investigation into a drug house.  They knew the criminals were dirty, so they pulled a couple of them over for an improperly functioning turn signal.  And in the process, they found all the drugs and evidence they needed to make the arrest.  Well, most of the members of the grand jury did not agree with me, and they moved not to indict because they didn’t like to see an abuse of authority by the cops to use a traffic stop to make a significant drug bust.  I was disappointed, but I understood their reasoning.  Respect for the law is the only way to keep our society functioning.  But when the bad guys capture your law and order society and attempt to hide crimes behind their control of the system, don’t expect people to put up with it.  And that was undoubtedly the plan behind J6.  I would say that the government was lucky they got away with not having more violence applied to them.  If law enforcement seeks to abuse the law, they should expect the public to get angry and respond.  We don’t expect to respect the law and authority no matter what.  However, we give away that privilege to law enforcement on a conditional basis, and that contract is to keep their powers limited by the Constitution.  Suppose they violate that contract, as they did over the stolen election in 2020? In that case, people will take action to restore those limited powers to the theater of expectation.  And the government should be happy that more people didn’t lash out than they did.  I would do it differently, but I understood their reasoning, like those grand jury members I mentioned.  And that is certainly the case with the J6 prisoners.  They should have never spent one day in jail.  Who is going to give them back their lives?  President Trump was very correct in getting them out of jail.  Because if he didn’t, our legal system would be much less effective if we let such an injustice loose to maintain a polite society.  No, we must do what’s right, even if things get a little pushy.  The J6 prisoners had every right in the world and an expectation to do what they did.  The government broke the law and used it to hide major, massive crimes.  And they are lucky that they are still around to have a legal discussion.  It could have been much worse.
