I don’t know what the future holds for Adam Kinzinger but I sincerely hope it is not obscurity in some think tank or a university. Will he be one of the leaders who helped to bring our nation away from the divisive road that Trump and others have put our country on in the last few years?

            Will Adam show other politicos that an office holder can be honest and do what they believe is good for the country as a whole and not for a greedy corrupt few? I believe he and others like him can dispel the belief that our government is against them. Maybe they can reduce the conspiracy sites on social media by reducing their gullible audiences.

            One day soon those county and state Republican committees who have condemned Kinzinger and Liz Cheney will see they have made a huge mistake. They condemned them while supporting a crooked, lying egotist who has no qualms about throwing friends, supporters, and the country under the bus. Trump has done it many times but his loyal but gullible supporters seem to overlook the truth.

            I seldom agree with both Kinzinger and Cheney but Americans of all parties should support their efforts to right this. Let these two brave Americans know they are not alone in trying to put the ship back on course.

            If I broke into your house and damaged something, I bet the charge is going to be a felony. I bet if I tried to overthrow the government, it would be a felony. If I invaded your house and tried to harm you, I bet it would be a felony. Let us change the “I” to all those people who broke into the Capitol Building January 6. They are being charged with misdemeanors. How do a bunch of insurrectionists get off with a slap on the wrist?

            The cost of repairing damages from the attack on the U.S. Capitol and related security expenses have already topped $30 million and will keep rising, Architect of the Capitol J. Brett Blanton told lawmakers.

            If we don’t want this, or maybe even worse, happening again, they should be charged just as you or I would if you or I would break into someone’s house. The Capitol Building should rank higher than someone’s house on the importance chart so the level of the crime should be higher, not lower!

            The sentence should be at least one year behind bars and a fine of over $10,000 plus court costs with the money going to repair the damage and the clean-up.

            The Sixth Amendment gives the accused the right to a speedy trial. Steve Bannon decided not to testify before the Congressional January Six Committee instead of taking the Fifth Amendment protection of self incrimination as others have done. Of course, choosing to do so indicates you think you committed a crime.

            It only took a few weeks between the Grand Jury indictment to trial and three hours to conviction. The penalty for avoiding testifying is a maximum of two years and $200,000 fine. The judge is holding off sentencing for over two months. Why the wait? Is he hoping that some politically controlled appeals court will overturn his conviction or keep delaying carrying out the sentence until the committee dissolves in January and a potential flip of the house could maybe get the subpoena revoked and maybe override the reason for the trial?

            My opinion is Steve Bannon was one of the people who helped to incite, if not aid, the insurrectionists. He was one of the people who kept telling Trump he won while his Justice Department, Staff and children said he lost. If I were the judge Bannon would get the maximum in a medium security prison. He warrants being made an example of what can happen to those who do not cooperate.

            I think the reader should know where my assessment comes from in order to see my viewpoint today. Wyoming’s GOP Representative Liz Cheney is the daughter of the most manipulative Vice-President in history. Vice-President Chaney let Bin Ladin get away so he could start an unnecessary war with Iraq. He conned Bush II and much of the world into thinking Saddam had weapons of mass destruction. He and Liz threw her lesbian sister under the bus to get elected. I don’t like their ideas of nut cake politics BUT her search for the truth on the insurrection at a personal cost gets my admiration and support.

            I never supported Adam Kinzinger when he was a county big wig or as a congressman. His ultra conservative views are for the dust bin of history and have led to the political darkness America is in today. I don’t know if he has seen where we are headed as General Milley and millions of not so gullible Americans have for several years. I have often compared the last four years to Germany’s early history with Hitler and his sycophants. Maybe the January 6 insurrection opened his eyes to the fact the GOP has been taken supported and covertly led by anarchists. The core group was children of the John Birch Society. However, even they became scared of Trump and put their support into Biden while still helping other Republicans. I support Adam Kinzinger.

            A Hero is someone who at great personal cost does something they swore to do. Today that is what Cheney and Kinzinger are doing on the select committee to expose the truth about who planned, aided, supported and directed the insurrection!

            How many Americans can be conned by the “Big Lie”? Probably about as many that believed Vice-President Cheney’s lie about Saddam having weapons of mass destruction. Some media that had dug for the the truth instead of putting out the lies and purposely distorted data were excoriated by the administration that knew the truth. Sound familiar?

            The “Big Lie” is even more of a con job on the weak-minded than Iraq. Most of the media – not Fox – has been using the truth to try to kill the “Big Lie” but those who have drunk the Kool-Aid can’t see the truth. They can only be lead by the nose to believe in the “Great Delusion” created by Trump sycophants who want a dictatorship.

            Maybe the select committee’s work can get through somehow. The right wing media and the yellow belly GOP are going to do everything they can to lie, distort, and divert attention from the truth about the insurrection and exposing those behind it.

This would be fun if it wasn’t so serious. I just saw Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy blaming Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi for the January 6 Insurrection. Behind him was the Republican Representative who said on his own website that it was tourists staying within the velvet ropes. Another face behind McCarthy was an Indiana Representative who repeatedly said they were Antifa and Liberal Democrats even though most were wearing Trump shirts and caps.

            I understand their position. McCarthy will be subpoenaed to testify before the Select Committee since he had an extended phone call with Trump during the Insurrection. Another representative said he wore a bullet proof vest because he had advanced warning. I bet he will testify, too. I hope we will find out who authorized the tour of the secret tunnels taken to avoid the insurrectionists. I can’t wait to hear all the back-story of January 6.

            How can their voters be as naive and stupid as to believe the crap they have been feeding them. Their next scenario will probably be it a camping trip since so many were dressed like kids and didn’t use the toilets.

            I live in the 16th District represented by Adam Kinzinger and if he can make it happen, we will find out what really occurred and who was responsible for the first attack on the Capital since August 24, 1814. Now January 6, 2021 goes into the history books. Let’s hope the real reason is annotated also.
