Pat Stedman:

On January 6th I followed the crowd into the Capitol and shouted. Police stood by the whole time, hanging out with us and sometimes directing us places.

At one point near the House Chambers I was walking downstairs when a trio of some special section, secret service looking men started pointing guns in my direction.

Confused and annoyed, I walked the other way and when I saw a normal police officer asked him why they were doing that.

He informed me a protestor (Ashli Babbit) had been killed, and advised me to leave the building.

I walked towards the exit and after a short rest on the bench I left.

I harmed nobody and damaged no property that day and complied with all police orders.

What I received for that was a pre-dawn raid at my parents house, where my 1 month post-partum wife and I were staying, on Biden’s first day in office. His DOJ had signed the order to arrest me 3 hours after his inauguration.

In the subsequent weeks I received death threats online and harassing phone calls, something that would be ongoing for the next few years.

I was banned from Meta and Paypal. My wife and I were both debanked by PNC and banned from Airbnb. My wife was detained at the airport for hours with our newborn daughter.

I was charged with 4 misdemeanors and the 1512 unconstitutional felony. The government offered to drop the misdemeanors if I pled to the felony. The felony was a lie, so I refused and went to trial.

At trial the prosecution for 2 days straight was allowed to show footage to the jury of things that occurred around the Capitol I wasn’t present for “for context.” When we asked to put forward footage that contradicted the prosecution’s “context” we were not allowed. They could show what they wanted, we could not.

Police officers were then put on the stand for the next 2 days who cried about their experiences. I had no idea who they were. They admitted they never saw me or interacted with me.

Nevertheless like every other J6er, I lost, and was sentenced to 4 years and $22k in fines and restitution. Yet even after the Supreme Court overturned the felony, the judge would not let me out until my misdemeanor sentences of a year were maxed out. Because she can’t count she actually kept me in longer – to the extent she intervened at the last minute to make the prison release me on a Sunday, something that is against BOP rules. My family sat outside the prison gates the Friday before practically the whole day waiting in vain because of this pettiness.

But the government wasn’t satisfied with their pound of flesh: after my release they took me back in for resentencing, to attempt to have me resentenced after the fact to my misdemeanors consecutively, so I’d be taken from my family again and have another 1.5 years behind bars. This time I won, as they had no legal precedent and it skirted on violating double jeopardy since I had served my full prison time. Even still, it cast a cloud over the holidays and cost me another 20k my family couldn’t afford.

People ask whether prison was bad, and yeah of course prison sucked. It was a hard and violent place. I was present for a stabbing, and was lucky to avoid two fights and a race war.

But dealing with Biden’s DOJ and the DC Judiciary was the real trauma – they would grind down your spirit by weaponizing the legal system and use the endless procedure to bankrupt you. I had nightmares for months after release that I had somehow been hit with new charges.

By the time I was pardoned by President Trump, I had spent literally every single day of Biden’s presidency either in prison or under some form of supervision. I had incurred over $300k in legal fees and over $1 million in lost business.

It was a reign of terror, and yet it was a mere foreshadowing of what they had planned for anyone else who opposed them under Kamala. The country should never forget it.

War Powers  Act  – Part Two

War Powers Act – part two

Yes, Rep. Lawler’s post is largely accurate on the War Powers Resolution: President must notify Congress within 48 hours of hostilities, forces terminate after 60 days (+30 extension) unless Congress authorizes via declaration of war or statute (AUMF). Presidents have broad Article II authority for limited actions like strikes; Congress can force withdrawal via resolution anytime.

 

Korea: Truman called it a UN “police action” (no declaration); Congress funded it.

Vietnam: 1964 Gulf of Tonkin Resolution gave statutory authorization (broad enough for escalation).

War on Terror: 2001 AUMF (statutory) authorized force against 9/11 perpetrators and associates—used for 20+ years as Congress didn’t revoke it.

 

Formal declarations ended after WWII; statutes/AUMFs became the norm instead, with politics preventing strict 60-day enforcement.

 

This conga line of feckless and leftwing Democrats on TV is grotesque.  They are literally angry that our country is engaged in a righteous battle to eliminate a terrorist regime that is developing nukes, slaughtering tens of thousands, has murdered and maimed thousands of our fellow Americans, and is funding and spreading terrorism throughout the world.

 

Now, what did they do about this regime?  Funded it.  Appeased it. And left it to President Trump to deal with the disastrous mess they created and left him.  They had no rational or effect strategy or plan to address it.

 

The Democrat Party does, in fact, hate America.  Even now, at a time like this, they seek to sabotage us.

 

Also, a number of the usual American-hating Islamist media clowns are in full propaganda mode, trashing our president and our country.  It is time to deport as many of them as is legally allowable and to attempt to denaturalize some of the others and remove them.  When you read what they say and believe you have to wonder how an immigration system that is supposed to work to benefit our country, and is supposed to only allow in foreigners who have allegiance to our country, it is clear these individuals ought not be here.  This is not about the 1st amendment or any civil liberties.  It is about their presence in our country in violation of basic immigration-law requirements.

War Powers Act – part one

War Powers Act
Rep Mike Lawler

Since many of my Democrat colleagues don’t seem to understand the War Powers Act, it’s very simple:

The President must notify Congress within 48 hours of deploying troops or commencing an attack. The President must then withdraw troops within 60-90 days, unless Congress declares war.

In this instance, Congress was notified in advance and briefed before the strike on Iran. A full classified briefing will be forthcoming.

Now, Congress can pass a concurrent resolution ordering the troops be withdrawn at anytime, which is what Massie and Khanna are trying to do.

But under Article II and as Commander in Chief, the President has the authority to act. The notion that this strike is illegal or that the President needed Congress’ authority is wrong. .

Furthermore, Biden and Obama conducted numerous strikes in numerous countries without Congress and none of the people screaming now, seemed to have any objections.

For historical context, Congress has not declared war since WWII. – Mike Lawler @Lawler4ny

if this is accurate, or even close to accurate, then we can easily see why they want that war to continue.  This money needs to be taken back and the guilty ones need to be prosecuted.

Now some may quickly “look at all the Republicans” but there aren’t any Republicans on that list; only Democrats and RINOs, aka uniparty scum.  Drain the Swamp.  Incarcerate the crooks.
