The Release of the DOJ IG Final J6 Report – My Take (Updated 1-7-2025)

For readers who follow my RTM blog posts one thing is clear that my writings on the events of January 6^th 2021 and the days following have remained consistent. President Donald Trump did not incite a riot or civil unrest that resulted in the storming of the capitol by angry MAGA followers.

January 6th was a failed attempt by radical elements on the progressive political left to take down the sitting President of the United States during the Electoral College confirmation process of the 2020 election. Even after 4 years none of those responsible have ever been held accountable. I suspect that next month they will have a wakeup call.

Imagine my surprise when I was confronted shortly after January 6^th by a friend who asked if I supported what President Trump and MAGA did at the capitol? I asked what this person was talking about. I was informed that Trump and MAGA were trying to prevent a peaceful transfer of power. I told him that was not possible, it’s not how MAGA thinks or operates. I went further to say that in all the Trump rallies to date there has never been one incident where MAGA was violent or incited violence. The only violence has been to MAGA folks by individuals or domestic terrorist groups.

On J6 I was watching a live broadcast by Chanel Rion OANN’s White House Correspondence where she was interviewing the first of the MAGA crowd (families, moms & dads) to arrive at the capitol. As they were showing the capitol someone asked why were people being let in to the upper level by police? Keep in mind that it had taken these folks 45 minutes of walking to reach the capitol and they were hot and tired but anxious to watch the confirmation live.

I remember watching interviews of President Trump where he warned House Speaker Pelosi to bring in the National Guard if she was worried that things might get out of hand. She refused saying something to the effect that it was bad optics.

Well Trump was still speaking at the rally as unidentified people were being let into the capitol and MAGA supporters were waiting to see if they were even able to  go to the Capitol to be able to see for themselves the confirmation process.

When capitol police began motioning for MAGA to enter through the lower level door, the first ones going inside witnessed overturned trash receptacles and began cleaning up the mess and trash that was spilled over the floor.

There were reports of people dressed in MAGA gear going into congressional offices and taking electronics or other items. As more people made entrance into the capitol there was one single and unprovoked incident where capitol police lieutenant Michael Bird discharged his weapon through a locked door, shooting and killing retired USAFR Ashley Babbitt, a former security police officer. The police officer said he feared for his life and the lives of others – from an unarmed 90 lb. woman?

“What really happened at the Nation’s Capital. Before you assume these were conservatives and Trump supporters who breached security at the Nation’s Capital, please read this from an eye witness:”

By Tracy and Joe Cataldo:

“I quit FB in November because Zuckerberg & his cronies censored my opinion. I am not okay with anyone’s opinion being censored & will fight for their right to have freedom of speech until my dying breath.

I am only temporarily rejoining because we are in Washington DC. We have witnessed what actually occurred here today. What the media is reporting is such bull sh*t that I felt first hand experience needed to be voiced.

There were millions of people here, hotel usage was estimated 3 million. Joe & I walked to the front of the Capital. Antifa was escorted in. They grabbed MAGA gear right in front of us & then started shaking down the police barricade. I said to them this isn’t how Trump supporters act & was told a few expletives. A few morons were sheep & did follow, but out of all the people there, asking for justice, this is what the media focuses on. A handful of morons that weren’t all Trump supporters.

Many of you believe the media 100%. I am not going to debate your political beliefs or ideologies but we are here. We were at the Capital. This is a setup. This is a narrative the media is attempting to spin.

We had a wonderful day, in spite of Mayor Bowser turning off all cell service to the city, all Wi-Fi to the city off, closing all restaurants, grocery stores, removing all porta potties. She did everything she could to attempt to make everyone give up, we did not. The media is attempting to make today a dreadful day, it was for a handful. Our only regret was not filming the Antifa members & attempting to stop them.

Anyone who is actually our friends know we would not waste our time even engaging the diehards on the other side if we didn’t want the truth out there.

If you comment politically I am just deleting it as I am not asking for Trump support and we have well researched our stance & aren’t looking to be changed as well.”

[This was copied from an eyewitness account of what happened in DC. J6 2021]

The confirmation process was paused as members of congress and others were herded to safe locations according to protocol. After the capitol was cleared and deemed safe the process continued and Joe Biden was confirmed as the President-Elect to become the 46^th President.

Soon the J6 Committee was formed and the FBI began a nationwide sweep to find and locate anyone who was a MAGA supporter and in Washington DC, in the vicinity of or inside the capitol on J6. The results of this sweep was to apprehend, detain and imprison several hundred persons, not for damaging or causing destruction inside the capitol, but for simply being there on that day.

Now the release of the Final 88 page Report reveals that the FBI had direct dealings on J6 using 24 designated confidential human sources (and an untold number of non-designated) pretending to be MAGA that went inside the capitol “undercover”, they were never arrested or charged. At least 4 of these “CHS” made it inside a controlled area in or around the capitol. These “CHS” were most likely criminals or felons who were told what to do and to collect “data” and what was to be reported back to the FBI.

Former FBI director Wray submitted his resignation one day after the DOJ IG Report’s release to the public and after being grilled by members of congress over the FBI’s involvement on J6.

Keep in mind that President Trump fired FBI director Comey and replaced him with deputy director Wray. At the time I wrote a blog post saying this was an opportunity for director Wray to prove himself as an agent for change within the FBI or confirm he was in fact part of the problem. Now we know.

I venture to say that reading the 88 page report will reveal a lot more surprises about the FBI and confirm President Trump’s pick of Cash Patel who was himself targeted by the FBI as being the perfect person needed at this time in history to bring a real and much needed change to the FBI.

I’m not going to link to any of my previous blog posts, but encourage the reader to search for “The Real Truckmaster” blogs, and then scroll through the more than 1,000 articles I’ve written and determine for yourself whether the media has gotten anything right when it comes to Trump and MAGA.

As an aside note, there has never been a MAGA rally where conservatives have initiated or been engaged in acts of violence (including J6). There have however been demonstrators, protestors and threats and assassination attempts on Donald Trump’s life. – RTM

Drones over New Jersey (Updated)

You might be thinking drones, smones, what does that have to do with anything? Well let me tell you that after doing a quick google search I came across this article that covers Iran’s conversion of two container ships to carry swarms of drones for various military applications.

https://www.businessinsider.com/iran-new-drone-carrier-left-home-port-images-2024-12

What I can’t believe is that DHS has the capability to spot, track and take down, if necessary, unidentified aircraft or engage sea traffic that is threatening our coastline, but has no idea who or what is controlling these swarms of drones over NJ, PA and along our eastern seaboard.?

It is at the point where the President should declare a national emergency and authorize the capture or elimination of the so-called mothership that is anchored somewhere off the eastern coast of the United States and launching drones to what, gage our military response or lack thereof?

At the very least the FBI, CIA or DOD should be able to disable the drones or the controllers on the mothership(s).

Thus far the “authorities” offer no explanation other than saying there is no public threat, but how would they know if they can’t even get close?

Can anybody in government spell “NATIONAL SECURITY THREAT”?

Recent reports indicate that those drone sightings aren’t really drones at all but manned aircraft doing what they do all the time – FLY. (Area 51 anybody)

It doesn’t account for at least 1 report by a NJ State Police helicopter that had a drone hovering underneath it, then lights out and the drone was left the area. I’m still not convinced. – RTM

The Greatest Gift!

Christmas would be just another day without Jesus.

The real story of Christmas is in the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. You can see that they focus on different aspects of the birth of Jesus. They all tell the wonderful story of God’s never ending love for mankind. God sent his only begotten son Jesus, who was and is and always will be. Jesus is God in the flesh, born into a sinful world. Jesus lived a sinless life. Jesus died a despicable death on the cross for our sins.

Jesus’ purpose on earth was not to condemn but to provide a ransom for the sins of all mankind.

Look at where Jesus was born a manger, in Bethlehem, at a time foretold in the book of Isaiah chapter 9, yet no one expected or would take notice, lowly shepherds came to see him and then three kings from afar came bringing precious gifts and bowed down recognizing his majesty. Think of that, kings bowed down to him, while one king sought to kill him out of pure jealousy?

Jesus would go on to live a life without sin, showing by example that it was possible, only by being totally committed and submitted to the will of God the Father. Jesus constantly told his disciples that he did only what he saw his Father in Heaven do.

Jesus would be falsely accused, even unto death on the cross, without defending himself. And why would the creator God need to justify himself to his creation. Jesus endured unspeakable humiliation, pain and scorn so that you and I could be made clean from our sin and able to stand before a Holy God.

Jesus didn’t have to, but he did and willingly.

The bible tells us that if we believe Jesus is the Son of God, who lived and died for our sins; and if we ask for God to forgive us in the name of Jesus; we will have eternal life.

John 3:16-17

¹⁶ For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. ¹⁷ For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

This Christmas season the greatest gift of all is waiting for you to accept, from the God who created the universe?

Jesus is the reason for this season we call Christmas! – RTM

Not Guilty Reckless Endangerment Resulting in Death

How many times do young black men have to die while engaged in the act of doing something really stupid and the blame is cast elsewhere?

The unfortunate death of Jordan Neely on a New York City subway was of his own making. After boarding the subway his prophetic statement that “Someone’s going to die today” came true. Was it because of being restrained by “good Samaritan” Daniel Penny or in part because of his unstable mental state coupled with drug use? We can only speculate. What is clear is that New Yorkers on that subway were fearful for their lives until someone stepped up to do something.

What is also clear is that racial undertones by the Black Lives Matter co-founder who called it a clear case of a white man getting away with murdering a black man and something must be done.

Isn’t that the same attitude that resulted in the death of Jordan Neely in the first place? I think so.

Where was BLM when Jordan Neely was placed on the list of 50 most dangerous homeless persons in New York City? Was BLM out there actively doing something to get this homeless man off the streets and into a treatment program or a job placement program or even some type of housing program?

If Black Lives really Matter to BLM then why is it that we never hear from them until AFTER a black life has been lost? And if BLACK lives matter then should not ALL lives matter too?

Stop playing the race card and do what was said at the family’s press conference – GO OUT AND HELP SOMEONE!

The parents of Jordan Neely are going through agony over what they call the murder of their son whom they loved and miss very much. Again where were they when Jordan needed them? They must have obviously known their son was on drugs, homeless and a danger to people on the streets. What did they do to change the course of Jordan’s path down the road of life?

How is going after Daniel Penny in a civil suit going to fix anything? Exactly how much is Jordan’s life really worth?

Where is the prosecutor Alvin Bragg or anyone from his staff after the trial reassuring the public that the trial was fair and weighed the evidence presented to them?

Where is Mayor Eric Adams of New York City calming and reassuring the public?

The death of Jordan Neely was most unfortunate, but could have been prevented, had those with intimate knowledge of the facts and people involved made effort to change the course of history before the incident ever happened.

The Accountability Presidency

Don’t let the headlines fool you. The incoming Trump administration is being assembled to bring full accountability to a government that has operated for years as an extension of a major crime family and what you are witnessing are the rats coming out of the closet. How else can you justify those who are trying to get on the Joe Biden pardon list?

When Donald Trump announced during the 2015-16 campaign season that he was going to drain the DC swamp he was laughed at, scorned and during a democratically led preemptive attack that began with allegations and nonstop trumped up charges including two impeachments and the January 6^th 2021 Coup all designed to take down the then sitting president and prevent even the remotest possibility of his returning to power as a future elected president.

During the 2024 campaign season President Trump survived not just one, but two assassination attempts and came out as president-elect to replace President Biden on January 20^th 2025.

As President-elect, Trump has assembled an entirely new White House and administrative cabinet with the sole intent to bring accountability to government by removing anti-American and unproductive government employees at every federal level (draining the swamp) in order to bring back confidence and trust to many long standing agencies created to maintain order, safety and security to American citizens at home and abroad.

And let me say this, unlike the first time where Trump relied primarily on the recommendations of others, this time around Trump has been fully vetting HIS nominees to make this administration unlike any other in the history of the United States.

As I have already said do not be fooled by the headlines or the massive misinformation campaign being waged by the political left and their media lackeys. This administration is fully committed to digging into the makeup and composition of each federal agency to insure that they are doing their due diligence to aid and assist America citizens and taxpayers or face disillusion of the agency or removal of those government employees who consider job security as their only concern.

Rest assured in time there may be many who face criminal prosecution for unlawful, unethical and/or wasteful spending or practices. Many federal jobs will be removed through attrition, while others simply because of duplication or no longer needed and there will be turmoil, gnashing of teeth, screaming and unadulterated anger, but there will be accountability in government once again.

Accountability has to come from the very bottom up – the Voters!

Hold your elected officials to their promises!

Those who fail to deliver should be recalled or removed at the ballot box.

Public Service is elected officials are Public Servants – of the people, by the people and for the people, nothing more, nothing less. America is US! (We are the United States of America).

We are not better than anyone else. We must lead by example – the world is watching! – RTM

Pardon my Pardon (Updated)

It never ceases to amaze me how the democratic left reacts with outright selfish stupidity. Before President Biden jetted off in Air Force One to Angola he gave his son a sweeping pardon covering a period of 10 years, for things he did and got caught, tried and convicted and for things he has never been charged with. After Hunter’s pardon was announced cries came forth from both the right and left condemning this two-faced politician for doing the very thing he said multiple times that he would never do.

Some said Biden should issue a bunch of pardons and include President Trump for the crimes he was convicted of, but had not been sentenced for, and he had never done in the first place.

Now we’re 5 days out and people the Biden camp is saying that there are many pardons about to happen as they “Trump Proof” crooked democratic politicians, news media personalities and even those 20M+ illegal aliens who snuck across the border in open daylight, including the gang members many sought to flee. Even the “Reverend” Jessie Jackson is begging for a pardon for his son who has “done the crime and done the time” already.

Biden has really crossed over the line from simply being a really bad president, to also being a really bad father to his son Hunter who is not a kid anymore, but a lawyer just like his dad.

I would imagine there are more than 200 politicians sitting in Congress right now who are adding their names to Biden’s list of pardonables – and on both sides of the isle.

One topic I heard aired on cable news is whether or not anyone has or will ever refuse a pardon, especially a Biden pardon?

Or does a president have the constitutional authority or power to reverse presidential pardons of a previous president?

Here’s something about pardons you might not know. A pardon must be accepted and the one being pardoned must admit guilt of the offense. That then nullifies that person’s 5th Amendment right to remain silent. That person can be called before a grand jury to testify about that offense and anyone else involved. The pardon is for federal offenses, and if state law had been violated that person could still be charged for the state charge.

I look at it this way, Biden has disgraced the office of a U.S. Senator for more than 30 years; disgraced the office of the Vice President under Obama for 8 years; and the office of the President for the past 4 years, so what is left that he has not disgraced?

I’m surprised that President Biden has not done the unthinkable by calling for Vice President Kamala Harris’ resignation, since she hasn’t really done anything noteworthy as VP anyway. Then she too would be seeking a presidential pardon for soaking democratic heavy hitters and political fundraising donors for $2B + $20M in mismanaged campaign finances (not to mention those gofundme folks who are still giving her nickels and dimes.

This reminds me of flies swarming over a small fresh pile of “dudu” so as to get the best free lunch around. – RTM

Who is Pete Hegseth?

Pete Hegseth is a husband, father, patriot and a Christian. Pete has been a familiar face on Fox & Friends Weekend. Pete is the author of New York Times #1 Bestseller “Battle for the American Mind”, as well as other books. Former Minnesota National Guard Major Peter Hegseth veteran of Iraq, Afghanistan and Guantanamo Bay earning him two Bronze Stars and a Combat Infantryman’s Badge.

It’s interesting to note that after January 6^th then Captain Hegseth was among Minnesota Governor Tim Walz’s (former sergeant major Walz) National Guardsmen activated to protect the Nation’s Capital, but was singled out because of his tattoos and labeled a “white supremacist” and then removed from the deployment detail for his conservative values.

As President-elect Trump began assembling his “dream team” administration one of the first nominees was Pete Hegseth to become Secretary of Defense. Those are the facts and it scares the far left progressives that a secretary Hegseth has the experience, willingness and ability to bring President Trump’s reforms to the U.S. military establishment.

Tt is pretty evident that Pete is the right guy for the job as evidenced by the left’s smear and allegations campaign after his selection by President Trump.

Pete Hegseth is a welcome and much needed change from current Secretary Austin. – RTM

Eternity the Final Destination

The world is all about jockeying for position and power. The world system says he who has the most toys wins. Wins what? An all-expense paid trip to Shangri-La? Well not exactly.

The bible says the love of money is the root of all evil. So it is that the heart of man is evil in all his ways. Man cannot save himself or anyone else. Salvation is a gift from God, lest any man should boast.

Life is a journey meant to be lived to the fullest and with deep interaction with others.

Christmas is a time of celebrating the gift of God sent down from above with the Father’s love? The uniqueness of that heavenly gift is that God sent his only begotten son Jesus who is the Christ as a living human sacrifice to pay the penalty, which is death, for the sins of all mankind.  

As with any gift without the receiver taking hold and possession of the gift it simply sits there quietly waiting. The giver (God) has done his part and the gift (Jesus) has done his part. Now it is up to the receiver to do his part, to grab hold and accept the gift as if his very life depends upon it.

Life does depend upon that gift being received, accepted and an eternal relationship entered into with the God who created us. The end result will be an eternity with God where all is good because God is good. Accepting salvation is a choice, your choice and mine.

Salvation occurs when someone believes that Jesus is the Christ, born of a virgin, lived a life without sin, died on the cross at Calvary, and rose on the third day and is now seated at the right hand of God the Father and asks for forgiveness with a repentant heart. And then turns from his sinful ways to follow Jesus.

Rejecting or not accepting the gift of salvation is choosing an eternity without God where nothing good exists. There is a place (the bottomless pit) reserved for Satan and his angels but rejecting salvation can land you there by choice. Believe me when I say that refusing to believe or to choose is in itself a choice.

Look around at the anger, divisiveness and continual backbiting that is happening everywhere. It is but a taste of what an eternity without God will be like.

Is that what you really want? The gift of salvation is free, but will cost you everything. Are you ready? – RTM

Biden Administration Inaction

The residents of North Carolina dealing with the recent floods and hurricane damage expressed fear that Biden’s FEMA have forgotten them as they attempt to shore up temporary living quarters in tents, campers, hotel rooms and basically any place they can use for shelter.

Not to worry since First Lady Dr. Jill Biden unveiling the White House Christmas Tree that was “donated” from the hills of North Carolina by the Carter family who lost their entire crop of Christmas trees in the hurricane, save this lone survivor dubbed “Tremendous” which President Biden gladly chopped it down for a lighting ceremony at the White House.

How fitting!

As American citizens suffer; Hunter gets a “sweetheart” pardon from his daddy; and unlawful, illegal migrants (invaders) are living it up for free in hotels at taxpayer expense throughout the nation.

Joe Biden pardoned three turkeys this holiday season, so who was it that said crime doesn’t pay?

Not to worry, Vice President Kamala Harris has returned from her Hawaiian vacation to join the “gofundme” effort to recover the more than $20M in lost campaign funds, not to mention the $2B raised and spent in the span of less than 60 days.

President Biden is out of the country in Angola, Africa at an important conference and it would appear that someone needs to hang a huge “CLOSED UNTIL JANUARY 20^TH, 2025” sign on the front door of the White House.

Surely we need not worry about our nation’s enemies – they’re already here! – RTM

Of Grave National Security

What if I told you that the manner in which the immigration crisis is being handled by President Biden’s Homeland Security has subverted the rule for Asylum seekers and thereby compromising the national security of the United States?

Do I have your attention now?

It has been the goal of the U.S. immigration program (no matter how broken it may seem congress can fix it) to foster incoming migrants not by entitlement, but by what they bring to the table as productive members of our society.

Over the past 250 years we have seen the Constitution modified (amended) to right the wrongs of not allowing women, blacks, Orientals and Indians the full rights of citizenship, i.e. the right to vote. The outcome of the Civil War was ultimately to free the slaves and assimilate them fully into society as Americans. The same has been true for the various tribes of American Indians who were pushed onto reservations, stereotyped by Hollywood movies and discarded by society. A great many Oriental workers were brought here as slaves or indentured workers and not given a second thought when it came to the rights of citizenship. A common sense rule of thumb was to prevent the criminals and law breakers entry into the U.S. and to remove those migrant aliens who chose to break the state or federal laws after coming here.

 There have been political debates and discussions over immigration for years. Congress alone has the authority and power to draft and/or modify immigration legislation. The Executive Branch has the authority and power to control/regulate the flow of migrants. President Trump did so in 2020 during the COVID crisis to prevent the spread of the China Virus and President Biden is doing so now with his open border policy for pure political reasons.

What has never been done before and is being done under Biden’s DHS Mayorkas is the CHNV Mass-Parole Scheme has actively transported and processed since January 2023 over 400,000+ inadmissible aliens from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela into more than 50 airport locations across the interior of our nation. The term or classification of inadmissible includes criminals released from prisons and “paroled” into the United States not for significant public benefit or urgent humanitarian reasons as the Immigration and Nationality Act mandates. More than half of all monthly encounters at ports of entry Fiscal Year 2023 were from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela.

I don’t know how you feel about this, but it makes me angry to know that President Biden and his administration have seriously endangered the citizens of the United States by knowingly and willingly taken action that allows criminal gangs, drugs and human trafficking into our country. – RTM
