   BTW, WHY DID THEY SEND the military to protect Biden? I thought they were supposed to send unarmed mental health counselors to talk to the poor upset people. All those military with those big bad scary guns probably offended a lot of people. Stick to the game plan. Send in unarmed mental health counselors.

   Here is what happens (and ought to a lot more often) to "Peaceful Protestors out in the middle of the street with no permit or no approval, just unruly hoodlums blocking police from getting to a call.

   Momma always said don’t play in the street or you’ll get run over!!

   Notice the mob laughing at blocking the police but suddenly when the game went against them all you hear is OMG.

   LAUGHING LOLOLOL!!! Donald Trump may have intended to fight legally, but his supporters understood it as to storm the capitol building.

   - And THAT MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE. AGAIN YOU PROVE MY POINT!! It doesn’t matter what some dunder-heads thought, the president didn’t give any orders to do what you claim and he did intend to fight LEGALLY.

   The Black Lives Matter protests might have been more violent, but the capitol protesters were protesting on government land, - BLM protests attacked federal buildings which are also government land.

   and with the intent to kidnap or kill important government officials. - NOPE, WRONG AGAIN.

   Official: No ‘direct evidence’ of plot to kill at Capitolhttps://kfor.com/news/washington-dc-bureau/capitol-mob-aimed-to-assassinate-elected-officials-according-to-feds/- To date, no evidence has yet been found.

   Also, Trump didn’t even call the nationals guard, but he did on peaceful BLM protests.

   - Peaceful protest by BLM!!! Laughing, you need to go google images of BLM and the riots burning places down. But to be correct, Trump did not send in the Guard and the President cannot. The Guard is called up by the state governor. The only thing Trump did was send in US Marshalls (NOT the Guard) to protect federal property. He could do nothing to BLM or Antifa anywhere but concerning federal buildings and property.

   BTW At least Trump didn’t put the US Marshalls in an ice cold parking garage with one restroom and one power outlet like Nancy and the dems did to the Guard in DC. Texas governor says he will never respond to their request again. (See, again, the state governor makes the call).

   Yes there are many messes to clean up. I have seen images of the infamous wind turbines where the blades are not biodegradable and were cut and laid in the ground and covered up. There are images of them leaking oil. Yes a great solution that creates more problems.

   My main point was we have been oil independent but now, beside all the people that will be unemployed, we will once again be dependent upon oil for them Middle East. But that’s probably ok with you. I lived through the 70’s mess when oil skyrocketed and later again when it shot to over $4/gallon.

   I would rather stay oil and energy independent but Biden is so obsessed with undoing everything Trump did whether it was good or bad, he is overturning everything.

   I never liked Trump, I just couldn’t stand Hillary. Next time maybe Amy Finkenaurer (Dem) and Candace Owens (Repub) will run.

   Ooohhh, we are up to 9 huh? I saw a figure higher than 6 but to be honest the media said two of the guns were with people arrested the day before the DC incident and they “just knew” they were going to DC so they included them. Even at 9 that does not impress anybody. There are far far more people with concealed carry permits walking around you everyday.

   Most took their guns with them when they left huh? Hhmm, so you don’t know if anybody else actually had a gun other than the 9 but you will make that assumption. Let’s pretend for a moment (just a moment) that you are correct. First, what did you think they should do with their guns, leave them in the street? Second, assuming they were carrying guns concealed legally (if you can assume, so can I) then we need to acknowledge that none of them used their guns. WOW! All those tens of thousands of people with guns and none used!! Third, know that a survey in 2018 showed that concealed carry people are 20 times more law abiding than the average citizen, more than many police. Lastly, what is wrong with people carrying a gun. If you don’t want to that’s ok. But it is equally ok for people to carry them. If you ever get into trouble, just yell and maybe one will help you. Not likely as most carry for self protection of themselves and their loved ones. They tend not to want to intervene in situations without a very clear understanding of who the BG is and how many there are. Video floats around of a gentleman who pulled his gun to intervene in a department store robbery unaware that the BG had an accomplish behind him. BG #2 pulled his gun and killed the Good Guy. So your best hope is to call 911 and wait for a mental health counselor to eventually come to talk to the BG. Defunded and abolished police won’t be coming. (Isn’t it funny how some cities that wanted to abolish the police now are backing off as some of the politician have called 911 needing those police to save them from “Peaceful Protestors”.

   Here are some quotes by Donald Trump before the riot. ‘’We will never give up. We will never concede. It doesn’t happen’’, ‘’If you don’t fight like h*ll you’re not going to have a country anymore’’, ‘’We are going to the Capitol’’. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-55640437

   EXACTLY – See, no call for violence or insurrection or coup or whatever. And we will fight like hell, legally. We will not give up but that doesn’t mean violence. Yes we went to the capitol PEACEFULLY. Only a very very few acted up. You prove my point with the quote.

   Definition of riot: “a violent disturbance of the peace by a crowd.” There was a crowd, and it was definitely not peaceful.

   Well CNN showed images of Portland and Milwaukee in flames as BLM and Antifa set fire to many many building and destroyed not only property but people’s lives as well and CNN labeled it “Mostly Peaceful Protest”. I will stick with CNN. DC was far more peaceful than Portland and the media denied it was a riot. Besides, a handful of people do not make a riot.

   There were more than 6 guns at the capitol, they recovered at least 9, and most people took their guns when they left. They also recovered two pipe bombs and a Molotov cocktail.https://ktla.com/news/nationworld/13-arrested-5-weapons-recovered-at-u-s-capitol-riot/

   “Biden did not raise prices on insulin or epi-pens. Your contention is false.” Once again, I did not say he made prices go up, he merely passed an executive order canceling the order that kept them from going up. They may no go up, they may stay the same price. Maybe. Not holding my breath.

   So we are ok with letting “regular” insulin skyrocket in price? I guess that includes epinephrine also?

   Well let’s see what Joe does. So far nothing good, just made it worse for those on regular insulin and all those using epinephrine.

   Miraculous only to those who do not die. It can easily be fatal.

    Actually, the Avanti continued on for a while after the demise of Studebaker.

    “The Studebaker Avanti is a personal luxury coupe7 manufactured and marketed by Studebaker Corporation between June 1962 and December 1963. A halo car for the maker,8 it was marketed as “America’s only four-passenger high-performance personal car.”9

    Described as “one of the more significant milestones of the postwar industry”,1:p257 the Raymond Loewy-designed car offered safety features and high-speed performance. The fastest production car in the world upon its introduction, a completely stock Avanti could reach over 178 mph (286 km/h)8 with its supercharged 289-cubic-inch (4,740 cm3) engine. In all, it broke 29 world speed records at the Bonneville Salt Flats.810

    Subsequent to Studebaker’s discontinuation of the model, a series of five owner arrangements continued to manufacture and marketing of the Avanti model through 2006."
