Day One of the January 6th Committee Hearing: If a hit man orders a hit…

Wednesday, July 27, 2021 marked the first day of the January 6, 2020 Capitol Hill insurrection.

Testimonies from four U.S. Capitol police officers offered (beyond) revealing testimony about what they went through the day of January 6, 2021 that left two officers dead, multiple officers wounded and another recovering from a heart attack.

When asked about the attacks reduced to just “hugs and kisses”, capitol police offer Aquilino Gonell suggested that the same be offered up to Donald Trump. (He later retracted this comment.)

Officers testified that they were punched, sprayed with contaminants, called racial epithets, beaten with multiple objects (to include flag poles) as they were outnumbered as they tried to gain control, (despite not using their government-issued firearms to defend themselves in the face of a clear and present danger).

WATCH: A historic democracy defending moment

Note republicans were also present during the insurrection, but have somehow, once their lives were spared, have created the narrative that both the hearing select committee, and the hearing itself, are both political.

Almost every member of the Republican conference understood days immediately after January 6th what had actually happened, and many of them said so publicly, said Liz Cheney (R-RI). The fact that so many members of our leadership, and others, the fact that they have gone from recognizing what happened on the 6th to protesting in front of the Justice Department on behalf of those who were part of the insurrection is something that I can’t explain, Cheney said. “I think it’s a disgrace.”  

As communication equipment could be seen being used by the insurrectionists, the committee hopes to secure evidence showing (and confirming) who gave the marching orders, planning of the insurrection, and what, if any, further actions are being planned by Trump’s supporters like those of January 6th.

Notwithstanding the facts, and the truth revealed, committee members have the daunting task of deciding how they will proceed to bring forth justice and uphold democracy.

“We don’t know where this ends”, said former prosecuting attorney and Sirius XM radio host, Laura Coates, but “no stone should be left unturned.”

The Committee has an upcoming August recess, however Bennie Thompson has suggested that the committee members should be made aware that they may

In wake of the Zika virus, travel, spring break still O.K.

Representatives from the CDC and the NIH were on hand at the White House during Monday's press briefing to update the public and address concerns over the Zika virus that has caused some babies to be born with deformities. Dr. Anne Schuchat from the Centers for Disease Control and Dr. Tony Fauci from the National Institutes of Health told reporters that a vaccine is in the making.   The pair also said they are particulary concerned about women who are pregnant, or plan to get pregnant, who have either traveled to or plan to travel to areas of South America and the Carribean known to have the Zika virus. Despite those bold statements, the doctors said there is no wide-spread concern and that Americans should continue to travel, including during upcoming college spring breaks --  when college students travel to warmer climate destinations to escape winter weather. "Travel to Zika-affected areas is very common among Americans, and we don’t think that needs to stop...

ACA Health Care Operator Fired For Doing Her Job?

More woes for the Obama administration's roll out of HealthCare.gov .    During the president's weekly address he urged Americans to call a toll-free number to get help enrolling in a health care plan as the website continues to be 'improved'. Said the president, "But even as we improve the website, remember that the website isn’t the only way to apply for coverage under these new plans.  We’ve updated HealthCare.gov to offer more information about enrolling over the phone, by mail, or in person with a specially-trained navigator who can help answer your questions.  Just call 1-800-318-2596 or visit LocalHelp.HealthCare.gov .       No sooner than the president gives out the 800 number for Americans to speak to one of the 'specially-trained navigators', one of them  gets fired, perhaps loosing her own healthcare benefits. Her malfeasance?  Talking to talk show host Sean Hannity. Hannity called the 800 number with his...

Saying goodbye to Mrs. Robinson, mother of First Lady Michelle Obama.

The woman who made her mark as grandma-in-chief when President Barack Obama was elected 44th president of the United States, passed Friday. The woman who was considered the backbone of the Obama household will be remembered as a family-oriented, kind person, who remained poised as she assumed the responsibility of helping raise her two beautiful granddaughters in an environment, and in a world, far from what she ever imagined. Mrs. Marian Robinson, mother of First Lady Michelle Obama,  waves to reporters during Easter egg hunt at the White House. (photo CD Brown) I recall seeing her that day in March during Women's History Month at the Smithsonian when her daughter's Inaugural gown, like all the other first lady inaugural gowns,  was being cemented in Smithsonian history . She was smiling as she walked alone prompting me to ask, "is there no security, no secret service, for the first grandmother?"
