Joe Biden has promised a speech after the Committee finishes its hearings?

Did I hear that correctly? I haven't heard much more about it since initial report?

If he does give a speech, what should he say?

Maybe he should attempt to tell the people the truth they are not getting? At least, not enough.

Maybe he should remind the people that Our Capitol was violently attacked on January 6th and it was not "acceptable political protest" as Republicans are stating. That is a lie.

The American people should know that it was an attempted overthrow of their election and their government. Also, it was planned from the very top. They were going to throw out 81 million votes on the word of one of the world's greatest "liars". No evidence. No facts. Just the word of Donald J Trump.

And there were crimes committed. There was election fraud on a grand scale. Cartoonish recounts to outright demands to find votes that did not exist. And they were on tape. There is not much more proof you can find than that.

There were violent militias commanded to take over our Capitol if every other scheme failed.

They succeeded in halting the Electoral Count of our presidential election. However temporarily, they succeeded.

Your Senators and Congressmen had to flee for their lives, as the violent mob screamed for VP Pence to be hanged. There is no doubt that something very tragic would have happened if any of them had been captured.

More than 140 US Capitol Policemen were injured in protecting your US Capitol, some of them very seriously. The only person, the Commander in Chief, at the time, could find to mourn was the extremist that was attempting to enter the broken window into the room where the Speaker of the House was hidden at the time. She was shot and killed in her violent attempt to capture a Congressperson.

The Capitol Police saved many lives and perhaps our democracy on that day. It was heroism on the level of the Alamo. History will record it more accurately than we have done thus far.

It is natural that the culprits and the guilty parties would want to minimize it and pretend that it didn't happen at all. Cover it up and forget about it. Can you blame them? They are covering up their asses.

The America people deserve to know the truth. If the media and the press are hesitant to give it to them because they can't handle it, then I will let them know the facts of the case. It is up to them to clean up our democracy. It doesn't matter if Joe Biden is the President or not, but it does matter if we continue to vote for people who would betray our country.
