This is absolutely insane stuff from the official White House website.

It's a certifiably bonkers alternative-facts "narrative" about January 6th which repeats the lies about the "stolen election," blames Capitol Police for the violence and chastises Mike Pence for not overturning the results, and insists Ashli Babbitt was "murdered."




See for yourself, if you must:

May these traitorous bastards burn in hell for what they've done to our country.

From the site:

Lawfare Fails; President Trump Prevails

Despite relentless Deep State efforts to imprison, bankrupt, and assassinate him—all designed to sabotage his political comeback through fabricated indictments, invasive raids, and rigged show trials—President Trump emerges triumphant. Fueled by unbreakable resolve, the fierce loyalty of his courageous family, team, and Patriotic Americans, and God’s unmistakable grace, he delivers a landslide 2024 victory and reclaims the White House in the greatest comeback in American History.

They have a more serious approach to what's happening in our country and theirs. I can't stomach the legacy media in this country any longer which is why I watch CBC. What they laid out this morning depressed me to no end. Trump, the GOP and Putin are hell bent on controlling the entire world. There was no sane washing or dismissing the seriousness of what the goal is, stating that they've moved on from Project 2025 to the worse scenarios possible if democratic countries don't ban together to rid us of these evil people.

I am usually an optimist and have been my entire life, but at this point in my 77 years I really am losing that optimism. I just don't see many Americans taking this seriously enough. Part of me is just glad that I've lived most of my life in a democracy with all it's good and bad parts, so I keep my sanity by not dwelling on what might happen down the road. I live a very small life, my two children are not even middle aged any longer, so they can carry the torch for me while I keep informed but still enjoy the simple things in life - a good book, a couple of like-minded friends and family, beautiful music, nature, my walks in the park every day, my house and garden. I can't waste any of my remaining years on what might come in the future.

When I looked back at all I've lived through and witnessed, I felt like in spite of the bad parts, we've progressed in so many ways - 2 steps forward, 1 step back. I was able to remain somewhat optimistic because life runs in cycles, but as long as we are still moving forward, it was worth it.

I never anticipated anything quite like this though. We seems to be retreating backward at an alarming rate and I can't see any resolution. So as I am adjusting to being in the final chapter of my life, I have to adapt to this madness as well?

I also have grown children and we can talk about what is happening openly, but it is my 11 year old grandsons that I'm most concerned about. They are still so innocent.

is outrageous, of course. Worse than outrageous. But we passed 20 on the outrage-o-meter (1-10 scale) a long time ago and things are getting worse, not better.

We need a lot more help from gop figures...past presidents, cabinet members, WH staff, elected gop, former elected gop, MSM that usually leans right. EVERYBODY. Otherwise this continues toward a destination that most of us couldn't have imagined and that we won't like.

(I hope to see something different soon, but....that we have gotten this far down the road tells me that help from gop and MSM is not coming...the table is set for whatever the end game is)
