Over the past five years, I have offered my rationale for believing the events that unfolded in D.C. on January 6, 2021 (J6) was far less an insurrection and far more a fedsurrection because review of the enormous amount of evidence available proves this conclusion beyond a reasonable doubt.  But Americans have to be willing to review such evidence for themselves to understand how much proof there actually is, how incontrovertible it is, and how heartbreaking it is that such a profound degree of division and condemnation could ever occur en masse toward innocents, most of whom are family members, friends, neighbors, and coworkers, based entirely on a maliciously conjured fiction for no other reason than to punish a perceived political enemy, Donald J Trump, and his supporters.

The first indication that I was in serious trouble came when the second defense attorney I contacted in Washington, DC, informed me that the Constitution—the supreme law of the land in the United States – did not apply in our nation’s capital. The first attorney who told me that was just wrong, I thought. But when the second guy told me the same thing,

And it's in an unaccountable black box that we use in every single state. So while we chuckle about 81 million votes going to Joe Biden, we rarely turn the scalpel towards our own backyards.

But it's we we get really, really cautious about talking about, especially at a Reagan dinner, that our elections have problems.

David K. Clements at Podium October 16.2025 Scott County GOP Reagan Dinner

It was with great pleasure that I listened to David K. Clements give his keynote speech at the 17th-Annual Scott County Iowa GOP Reagan Dinner last month. Having Iowa's Secretary of State Paul Pate and Attorney General Brenna Bird at the head table overlooking all the attendees while Professor David K.

This was apparent with the recent annual Reagan Dinner, held at Bettendorf's Quad-Cities Waterfront Convention Center, where the service was exceptional, the food uncommonly good for a large catered event, and for our entertainment, enjoyment, and self-improvement, four remarkable gentlemen provided much-needed perspective as front-liners to subjects that otherwise lurk in the corners of establishment politics as third rails.

In 2013, the newly enacted Smith-Mundt Modernization Act permitted government, in partnership with media, to propagandize Americans for national security interests. Prior to this, the original Smith-Mundt Act of 1946 prohibited government and/or media from propagandizing Americans under any circumstances.

Uncle Scam's First Amendment Jeopardy J6 Wheel of Misfortune - by Ed Newman Jan 2024

U.S. Attorney General William Barr testified before the J6 Select Committee (arguably illegitimate because it did not follow the procedural rules for convening a select committee), claiming he had investigated election irregularity and fraud allegations, and determined them to be unfounded. His testimony was one of the video presentations during the J6 Select Committee's nine prime-time investigative hearings.
