The person who refers to Ashli Babbitt’s death most frequently is our repeatedly discredited former president Mr. Donald Trump. He has been doing his best to make her into a 21st-century American martyr. He probably thinks he can accomplish this impossible fete by desperately attempting to conveniently reconstruct history. What he has failed to do, however, is separate who she actually was before the insurrection. From the actions consistent with her past conduct, on the day of the rebellion. There are certain indisputable facts about her. She was young, white, attractive, violent, and deluded. Those realities are undeniable.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The first time Celeste Norris laid eyes on Ashli Babbitt, the future insurrectionist had just rammed her vehicle three times with an SUV and was pounding on the window, challenging her to a fight. Norris says the bad blood between them began in 2015 when Babbitt engaged in a months-long extramarital affair with Norris’ longtime live-in boyfriend. When she learned of the relationship, Norris called Babbitt’s husband and told him she was cheating. “She pulls up yelling and screaming,” Norris said in an exclusive interview with The Associated Press, recounting the July 29, 2016, road-rage incident in Prince Frederick, Maryland. “It took me a good 30 seconds to figure out who she was. … Just all sorts of expletives, telling me to get out of the car, that she was going to beat my ass.” Terrified and confused, Norris dialed 911 and waited for law enforcement. Babbitt was later charged with numerous misdemeanors. The attack on Norris is an example of erratic and sometimes threatening behavior by Babbitt, who was shot by a police officer while at the vanguard of the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol. Former President Donald Trump and his supporters have sought to portray her as a righteous martyr who was unjustly killed. (AP NEWS: Ashli Babbitt A Martyr? Her Past Tells A More Complex Story By Michael Biesecker January 3, 2022.)
From the very beginning when Trump commenced to claim that he was defrauded of an election victory by his opponents, The Attorney General of The United States of America, Mr. William Barr. Unequivocally stated that there was no fraud that was of such magnitude. Which could have overturned the results of a free and fair election within this country. Furthermore, Mr. William Krebs The Homeland Security Director of Elections, asserted emphatically that the 2020 General Elections were the most secure in the history of the United States. These two people are not perfect. Nor am I aware of any reason that they need to be within that category of moral classification to be believable. I do know, however, that they command enough experience and gravitas within their various professional fields to be credible. I chose to believe them. Moreover, Trump’s reckless claims had been tested in American Courts over 60 times and none of these lawsuits had prevailed. All of them were thrown out by seasoned judges. The above developments should have been a sobering warning to Trump’s supporters.
“One witness shall not rise against a man concerning any iniquity or any sin that he commits; by the mouth of two or three witnesses, the matter shall be established. Deuteronomy 19:15 (NKJV).
Three American authoritative bodies had spoken Ex-Cathedra and issued Encyclicals as it were on the state of US democracy. Yet well over one thousand antinomians, nihilists, anarchists, maniacs, and revolutionaries. Invaded The Capitol. Most of them were armed and intent on murdering, destroying, and looting anyone or anything in their path. Just because they had made the conscious decision to believe a lie. Although the truth was staring them in the face. I have relatives in the USA and friends right here in Ghana who are also deeply invested in Trump’s falsehood. Although up to this blessed day they are unable to produce one factual, substantial, reason for their irrational belief. America has been practicing the principles of democracy since 1776. Never before in its history has any defeated American presidential candidate, claimed that his opponent won by widespread fraud. By his claim alleging universal electoral malfeasance, Trump projected onto his political opponents the very same, and well-documented lifestyle of fraud and criminal conduct. That he had been practicing in his personal and business life for decades.
On January 6, 2021, following the defeat of U.S. President Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential election, a mob of his supporters attacked the United States Capitol Building in Washington, D.C. The mob sought to keep Trump in power by preventing a joint session of Congress from counting the electoral college votes to formalize the victory of President-elect Joe Biden. According to the House select committee investigating the incident, the attack was the culmination of a seven-part plan by Trump to overturn the election. Five people died either shortly before, during, or following the event: one was shot by Capitol Police, another died of a drug overdose, and three died of natural causes. Many people were injured, including 138 police officers. Four officers who responded to the attack died by suicide within seven months. As of July 7, 2022, monetary damages caused by attackers exceed $2.7 million. Called to action by Trump, thousands of his supporters gathered in Washington, D.C., on January 5 and 6 to support his false claim that the 2020 election had been “stolen by emboldened radical-left Democrats” and to demand that Vice President Mike Pence and the Congress reject Biden’s victory. Starting at noon on January 6, at a “Save America” rally on the Ellipse, Trump repeated false claims of election irregularities and said, “If you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore”. (WIKIPEDIA: The Free Encyclopedia, January 6 United States Capital Attack).
All I can declare is that this unfortunate occurrence, seemingly premeditated, was a terrible disgrace unbecoming America’s democracy. However, it was an event completely occasioned by the amoral leader of a major political party. At no time in any of their public tirades against law enforcement officers. Do Ashli Babbitt’s supporters acknowledge that she was at the wrong place, at the wrong time, engaging in some blatantly violent and criminal, conduct. Because of her extremely poor judgment, she had to pay with her life. Invariably, there are consequences for such flagrant, high-handed belligerence. Whether they know it or not what they are really trying to claim is that right is wrong and wrong is right.
Fox’s out-of-court Settlement with Dominion Voting Systems proves beyond the shadow of a doubt that LIES are far-reaching and have terrible consequences.
Fox News agreed to settle a voting machine maker’s defamation lawsuit alleging the network aired false claims that it rigged the 2020 presidential election against former President Donald Trump. The network reached the settlement with Dominion Voting Systems just after a jury for the trial in Wilmington, Delaware, was selected on Tuesday and just before opening statements. Dominion attorney Justin Nelson said the settlement was just over $787 million, according to a press conference. FOX NEWS SANCTIONED IN DOMINION DEFAMATION CASE, WITH JUDGE LIKELY TO APPOINT SPECIAL MASTER. Before 4 p.m., the judge called the jury into a courtroom after a long day of delay to tell them they were dismissed. “The case has been resolved, and it’s been resolved because of you,” Judge Eric Davis told the jury Tuesday.
