The effort by the left to topple President Donald Trump by staging unrest outside the White House the weekend after the death of George Floyd -- violently, at least at night -- was the real "insurrection," an attempt by the Democrats, the media, the activists, and the Deep State to mount a "color revolution" that would force the president to cede power voluntarily.
Trump's walk across the park to the church was a public statement that democracy still governed the country, and not the mob. That is why they had to lie about it -- to mock it as a "photo-op" and to spread the lie that he had used violence to disperse "peaceful protesters" (which the journalists knew was a lie, because they themselves had been assaulted by the "peaceful protesters" ).
The event was the subject of a massive disinformation campaign -- aided by former senior members of the military, including Trump's own former Secretary of Defense, James Mattis. The media, who still obsess about Russian "disinformation," were part and parcel of an intense effort to mislead the public and provide the justification for regime change. (They eventually succeeded, in a way.)
What happened seven months later, on January 6, was an echo of the violence of that weekend, and the whole summer. When you attempt to seize power through mob force, all while chanting "this is what democracy looks like," there is a good chance at least some people on the other side will believe it.
The real "insurrection" was at Lafayette Square, and the truth will no longer be silenced.
This week, we are tackling two major areas of contention between the Trump administration and Democrat governors: fighting crime, and redistricting. The president is sending the National Guard to blue cities -- and blue states are trying to stamp out Republican representation. Is this a civil war situation?

This week's portion is the last of the month of Av -- also known as Menachem (Comforter) Av -- which begins in mourning and ends in celebration and anticipation of the New Year and the process of repentance and renewal.
In a similar vein, the portion features Moses offering the Israelites a choice between a blessing and a curse. They are masters of their own fates: if they obey God's commandments, they receive the blessings -- and vice versa.
The key commandment is to reject idol worship. There is said to be something magnetic about the practice of worshiping idols in the new land, such that it would be constant moral battle, both individually and collectively, in the land.
Nowadays, according to Jewish tradition, humanity has lost the urge for idol worship (and the antidote, which is divine prophecy) -- but there are several near substitutes, such as lust or excessive appetites for worldly pleasures.
We are wired for compulsive behaviors, bad habits, and even addictions. These ...
