Dear January 6th Committee:
As you wrap up your 18-month Stalinesque show trial in the lame duck session and prepare a report to assign blame for the unrest of January 6, 2021, allow me to share a few thoughts from middle America.
Out here in the heartland, we've become all but numb to Democrats' projection and hypocrisy, but your dogged portrayal of a few hour's unrest at the Capitol as an "INSURRECTION!" -- while turning a blind eye to the previous summer's Antifa and Black Lives Matter riots is just too much.
You insisted repeatedly that the Antifa/BLM protests were mostly peaceful, as we nightly watched ordinary citizens, as well as law-enforcement officers, being assaulted, and in many cases killed. They were attacked with firearms, knives, clubs, incendiary devices, and blinding lasers. All but the most egregious criminals were released without charge by Soros-funded, Democrat prosecutors, but any citizen who dared defend themselves from brutal assault, were quickly charged and jailed.

In the mid-1800s, Great Britain engaged in two wars against China's Quing Dynasty. The conflicts began when the emperor attempted to crack down on the illegal opium trade that was causing widespread addiction with devastating economic and social upheaval in China.
By 1820, Britain’s East India Company was importing huge amounts of opium from India into China. In 1839, agents of the Emperor confiscated and destroyed 1400 tons of opium warehoused in Canton by British merchants. In response, British warships sailed up the Pearl River and attacked and occupied Canton, overwhelming the inferior Quing forces. This became known as the First Opium War. As a result, China was forced to cede Hong Kong to the British and expand their access from one to four ports. Later hostilities over the trade saw British warships capture Peking and burn the Emperor's summer palace, gaining access to many more mainland Chinese ports and the legalization of opium in a forced settlement. These became known as the Unequal ...
When I was a boy, every high-schooler learned in World History the phrase, “Afghanistan, where empires go to die”. The failed occupations of the tribal area between central and south Asia are so numerous that the subject would require a history class all its own. But we were taught that Persians, Greeks, Arabs, Mongols and British had all tried futilely to extend their civilizations into those barren lands.
Apparently though, none of the Ivy-educated ‘elites’ and their dupes who run America’s foreign policy, intelligence and defense establishments were paying attention in class. Not even the more recent, decade-long, failed occupation by the once-mighty USSR beginning in 1979, for which the U.S. boycotted the Olympics in Moscow, registered with our ruling ‘elites’.
Of course it was a righteous cause after 9/11 to punish the Taliban for providing safe haven for Al Qaeda and more crucially, to kill Osama Bin Laden and his followers. But by May 2003, when G.W. Bush (Yale, Harvard) landed...
