LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. | Understanding the distinction between an insurrection and a riot is crucial.
An insurrection is a politically motivated rebellion against authority or government, typically seeking to achieve specific political goals, such as overthrowing a government. An insurrection can be planned and may involve various participants, including military factions.
A riot, on the other hand, is generally a spontaneous and chaotic outbreak of violence, often rooted in social grievances or emotional responses. Riots can emerge from protests or other public gatherings but do not necessarily have a specific political aim. They may involve looting, vandalism, and clashes with law enforcement.
For example, we can conclude that an insurrection happened in Sacramento at the California State Capitol on May 2, 1967, while a riot is what transpired in D.C. on January 6. 2021.
As a mom who loves my children, I would never put myself in danger or try to hurt a federal agent while they are trying to fix problems created by the previous administration, which allowed open borders without proper vetting. Only a politically radicalized person would not accept that as a fact.
I know what’s best for my children, and my doctor, who has cared for them since birth, doesn’t need the government dictating what he can or cannot do to keep them safe.
I also believe that media outlets should pay for their programming themselves, and the government should not interfere with their rights to free press. Unlike the previous administration, which suppressed our freedom of speech on nongovernment-funded media platforms, we should allow a free and fair exchange of ideas.
The Obama administration sent millions of dollars to Iran, helping them advance their nuclear weapons and fund terrorist attacks, specifically on Israel. The current administration has halted that funding and pushed back Iran’s nuclear weapons development significantly.
Career politicians should be accountable for their actions and statements. Our current president is not a career politician, and his behavior may not always align with traditional political correctness.
I understand that individuals like Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, who misled the American people about the Russian Hoax and those who covered up issues like the Hunter Biden laptop, and President Joe Biden’s mental decline should be held accountable. They used our tax dollars to create and perpetuate lies. What about those who removed President Joe Biden from the voting ballots without consent of his constituents?
Additionally, I recognize that our current president is willing to try new approaches to improve the economy. It’s too soon to gauge the effectiveness of those tariffs.
Evidence suggests that President Bill Clinton and others were more involved with Jeffrey Epstein, but I haven’t seen much coverage of that in the news.
I believe both political parties are guilty of scandal, misinformation, and corruption. The media tends to hide misconduct from Democrats, while they highlight similar actions among Republicans.
My mother became an American citizen yesterday, pledging to protect and defend her new country. She could have chosen to remain a citizen of her old country, but she opted to pledge allegiance to the USA and its constitution, recognizing it as the best country that protects our God-given freedoms. So many born here may never fully understand that choice.
