Right. I haven’t seen any information indicating that any of the J6 law enforcement personnel have brought civil actions against the criminals who assaulted them. Are there any such actions?
Those weren't liberals punching, kicking, and gouging the eyes of police officers!!! People with respect for the law support them, NOT the criminals who supported them, or the criminal they re-elected as president. This country is now an embarrassment to the rest of the world! As are all who voted for dictator trump.
Be advised that when your big daddy and his crew begin to fear the people like you, many of whom are already wondering why they ever supported your big daddy. During those days, that absolutist 2nd Amendment misreading your side has engaged in will disappear as the powers that be under big daddy confiscate all guns, which liberals never demanded. We only wanted the weapons that turn people into hamburger to be over the line, along with enormous magazines that allow 1 person to mow down half a town block of people. So be careful, Te. Watch your step, and never dare to criticize your big daddy. He'll say about you what he said about Liz Cheney - a loaded gun in her face.
Lord, give it a rest. Protect your family. Take personal responsibility. Stop blaming others for your own problems. Turn inward. No one is gonna save you or your family. Least of all politicians.
Your comment is so out of line. I’ve never met anyone who is against the police. It’s supporting the rule of law. Allowing violent criminals to go free is the opposite of that.
That includes police officers when they committ brutal assaults or murders. There is no defense for criminal, anti-social acts. No one is above the law, unless you have a skewed Supreme Court to declare you above it and a mass of bully/ cowards to do your maniacal bidding, or a corrupt set of local leaders.
So far, Mr. Tingley, scanning just the headlines and reading what you and Mr. Doolittle are writing about them is all I can take right now. I'm still in survival mode. I'm at the age where I need to watch my blood pressure and thinking about Trump and what he's doing might make blood start leaking out of my ears and eyes.
Agree one million percent, Ken. Trump has absolutely brought out the hatred that people seem to have for their fellow man. I believe I will be writing another letter to the editor about this.
Shared this post to the FB pages of the Essex County and the North Elba Democratic Committees. Many are voicing a concern that Trump has cemented the loyalty of these individuals to him, planting the seeds for a private army comparable to the Brownshirts and Blackshirts in the runup to WW2
Perhaps the Post Star would like to run this column as “ guest editorial…?” It’s only what…day three? Each day brings a new level of ignorance and hate…Going to be a long four years.
I know people from here who went to the capital on J6. They own businesses here. I do not acknowledge their existence.
To see them interact in our neighborhoods after knowing they support trumps policies has made me more combative and sad. And yes, hateful towards them. I'm guilty of that. Hard not to be.
It is actually worse than I'd imagined.
I haven't looked at my social media. It just makes things worse for me.
People who deny what happened on J6 are delusional.
You have to have big-time monetary support for any congressional race these days. Stefanik was at her best fundraising. Thanks Supreme Court for Citizens United.
The Republican committee will use it to elect their desired candidate, probably the psycho from Amsterdam if Roger Stone attending his upcoming MMA circus/MAGA rally at the Cool arena is any indication.
The DNC NEEDS TO WAKE UP! Emails and phone calls to the DNC are imperative right now. They sit on BILLIONS right now that should be releases in long shot districts like ours. Bill Clinton stated THE DNC shortcoming recently and he is right. The democrats must wake up and FIGHT!
This piece makes me wonder about the policemen themselves. Why aren’t the police unions speaking out across the country? Why did some of them support Trump? In addition, the GOP House and Senators hear and see what is happening. Our lives will change now and not for the better. Again, thanks for putting this issue on paper. I guess that you weren’t invited to the inauguration.
I am afraid that many police officers and the state corrections officers are MAGA. The elected officials from both parties are weak. The strongest person in the last two days is a woman, and her name is Bishop Mariann Budde who spoke directly to trump from the pulpit. She showed more courage than any of these public servants.
It might come down to conservative media's ignoring this whole issue. They have glossed over the violence on Jan. 6 like it never happened. You can see the one comment above from someone who has obviously been brainwashed.
The Episcopal Bishop who courageously preached the concept of mercy and compassion, directed at Trump and his family from her pulpit yesterday AM, was rapidly labeled “Nasty” by our pervert Prez…a label he utters whenever opposed by a Strong Woman. He is demanding an apology from “this so-called bishop” and her church officials.
The physical unease evident in the whiplash effect it had on him, and everyone seated around him, was palpable. “Shock and Awe” took on a whole new meaning watching Himself and his cadre scowl and twitch and pout as she delivered her soul-deep sermon which they could not escape while on Live TV.
Bishop Mariann Budde is my new hero. She has held this job as Bishop of Washington since 2011. A married mother of two, she has advocated for human rights throughout her many years of ministry. She criticized Trump’s use of military force with tear gas to disperse crowds protesting Trump’s use of an upside down Bible for a photo op in front of St. John’s Church in 2020. She will no doubt remain a target for this false god and his motley crew of pseudo-Christians in the days ahead. A modern day Joan of Arc willing to face the fire of Trump’s burning rhetoric.
Well said, Susan. She stated what being a Christian is. No apology is necessary. I will be praying for her and all those who openly defend our country in these dangerous times. Reading Ken's newsletter validated the rage I felt on Monday about the first actions of the new administration. I want to know more about the local businesses that support the madness in charge so I never set foot in their doors again. Thank you, Ken. Thanks to all who agree with Ken for your thoughtul comments. Stay warm.
Fox News hosts and guests were melting down over her comments. Georgia's Congressman, Mike Collins, is calling for her deportation, even though she is an American citizen, born in New Jersey. Trump called her "nasty".
We all know and have seen what violence ensues after remarks made by those in far-right media and by political figures.
I pray and hope that she remains safe from the evil that MAGA and Trump inspires.
I’m calling for deporting Donald Trump. I’m sure his autocrat buddies will be glad to take him in. His roots in the country are pretty shallow. Send Elon Musk back to South Africa too.
I could not take my eyes of the stone cold anger on Melania's face. She was granted an immigrant's status under the genius category. I also looked at Usha Vance's face and thought she listened intently. J.D. kept looking at her for agreement. He didn't get that agreement.
Many, if not all of those 18,000+ are the likely the same people who oppose Hochul’s bail reform policies. I don’t understand how they can be against the bail reform policies in NYS, yet think the J6 pardons are a good thing.
I went to college in Virginia in the late 90s. Back then it was called Lee/Jackson/King Day. What a world. Not sure if it's still this way in VA or not.
You got the wrong. Never happened to me. Those type of accusations with no basis in fact will get you banned.
What the heck are you talking about?That was 35 years ago and I was sports editor. And last I checked Montgomery is still practicing law.

So, where’s the Bacon, the things that support your belief?
I believe this is the second time you bring the same thing.
Right. I haven’t seen any information indicating that any of the J6 law enforcement personnel have brought civil actions against the criminals who assaulted them. Are there any such actions?
Quick search cameup with at least six lawsuits from people injured in the insurrection.
Great. What were your search terms?
Lawsuits from injured law enforcement from Jan 6 insurrection.
Thx
It was all a lie. And since when do liberals care about the police. I seem to recall them wanting to defund the police.
Also, what if instead of shooting a white air force veteran, officer Byrd shot a black women?
The reason Trump got elected is because that is what the powers that be wanted.
It’s called Order out of Chaos.
After eight years of complete chaos, Trump will appear to bring order.
Warp speed Jabs Bad are going no where. Big pharma wins again and again and again.
Celebrate these good times. Jabs bad are here to stay and this should make liberals very very happy.
Those weren't liberals punching, kicking, and gouging the eyes of police officers!!! People with respect for the law support them, NOT the criminals who supported them, or the criminal they re-elected as president. This country is now an embarrassment to the rest of the world! As are all who voted for dictator trump.
There is no point in responding to this individual.
“Order out of Chaos.”
This person is a defender of Nazis. A defender of Nazis…is a Nazi.
Order out of Chaos is what is in play right now.
But your to blinded to see this.
Do you think the last four years of chaos was by accident?
Now, big daddy Trump will straiten it all out.
This was the plan all along.
We’ve been played. It’s that simple.
Yep. You've been played all right.
You sir are a fool. You belong on a different blog.
Be advised that when your big daddy and his crew begin to fear the people like you, many of whom are already wondering why they ever supported your big daddy.

You sound like a radical. Big Daddy? Who you talking too. Your level of education is suspect..
Te, out of Chaos will come a New World Order, is that the thought?
That's ridiculous. Everything you just stated is disgusting.
This is why we are where we are at.
Others are trying to work through this by attempting to understand mindsets such as yours.
Not me. You have put my family in danger with your lies.
Lord, give it a rest. Protect your family. Take personal responsibility. Stop blaming others for your own problems. Turn inward. No one is gonna save you or your family. Least of all politicians.
My goodness. Told by a fangirl of the Great Whiner in Chief who has never asked for forgiveness of anything, including those rapes.
Your comment is so out of line. I’ve never met anyone who is against the police. It’s supporting the rule of law. Allowing violent criminals to go free is the opposite of that.
Ok 👌

8 yrs? 4 of them are owned by Trump.
Yes, 8 years. Kicked off with Russia Russia Russia!
...and Russia, Russia, Russia was real. Read the Mueller Report, not BIll Barr's stepping in front of that report directing that you look elsewhere.
Do you have any idea what “ defunding the police” actually means?
She speaks on behalf of a party who wanted to defund the FBI but now they'll have a madman in charge so everything's okay.
The FBI absolutely needs to be defunded. I can’t believe you leftist support the FBI. What happened to you people?
So far, Mr. Tingley, scanning just the headlines and reading what you and Mr. Doolittle are writing about them is all I can take right now. I'm still in survival mode. I'm at the age where I need to watch my blood pressure and thinking about Trump and what he's doing might make blood start leaking out of my ears and eyes.
I certainly understand that. i think writing is one of the ways Will and I cope.
Reading what you guys write is one of mine!
Agree one million percent, Ken. Trump has absolutely brought out the hatred that people seem to have for their fellow man. I believe I will be writing another letter to the editor about this.
You’re right, the entire GOP is complicit.
But it is even worse. Yesterday Elise Stefanik testified in her Senate confirmation hearing that Elon Musk did not give a Nazi salute.
Musk gave a Nazi salute. We all saw it.
But the GOP is now accepting of criminals and Nazis and they will simply tell you reality is false.
It sure looked like one.
Stefanik is grossly unqualified and a proven pathological liar. A silver spoon fed spoiled brat who is ok with a pussy grabbing incestuous pervert.
She’s doing all she’s capable of. 😢
Would you sell your soul for Donald Trump if you were able to be doing anything else?
to be fair... the person who ran 10 years ago, if she stayed on the republican arch.. would have been qualified
maybe not very good, but you can't serve satan and be good
even if you are the best
If you saw the hearing
It was embarrassing
Anytime a fact was call into place she attacked the questionnaire
With the Elon Musk Nazi salute
She started to say he did not do it
Then she stopped herself
Maybe because she realize she was under oath
But she started to say he did not do it
Then added I wasn't there
She isn't there
She isn't anywhere
She's on her knees
And lying
Or a liar
And the fact that she would say he didn't do something that she didn't see proves she's a liar.
she is a liar

I suspect it needs to be posted to the Republican committee pages. Is there anyone with any morality out there.
Spot on. Horrifically so.

I believe my own eyes.
And Stefanik? Lipstick on a pig. She's void of humanity .
She is literally a Nazi sympathizer.
Whichever GOP candidate runs to replace her must disavow her, or we know them for what they are.
None of them will disavow trump or her.
The candidates are a pathetic example that members of congress have never been as disgusting as they have become.
And I certainly hope the Dems run someone strong in our district - still waiting for that miracle.
I had hope for Castelli because of his background....but here we are again with no clear path forward.
Please people, don't come back at me with Collins...I'm not a fan.
If she's chosen I would be forced to vote for her but come on people - we need a GREAT candidate.
You have to have big-time monetary support for any congressional race these days. Stefanik was at her best fundraising. Thanks Supreme Court for Citizens United.
Curious about the distribution of her remaining millions of campaign cash.
The Republican committee will use it to elect their desired candidate, probably the psycho from Amsterdam if Roger Stone attending his upcoming MMA circus/MAGA rally at the Cool arena is any indication.

There is an argument to be made for that and it has been exposed in recent years.
