You claim to be so brilliant, but your mind is so closed to any facts that do not fit your political agenda that it is impossible for you to be truly intelligent. The videos shown by the Jan.6 Committee and those shown by Fox News are both real and are from the same source (the Capitol Police). Fox News is just showing parts of the videos that the Jan.6 Committee should have also shown if they were truly wanting to present the whole story of what happened on Jan.6. But the Committee's purpose was to condemn Trump and all of his supporters, so they showed only violent rioters and left out video of peaceful protesters. A truly unbiased investigation would have shown both.

Recent bank closures are just a symptom of a bigger problem in the U.S. economy. The U.S. economy has moved away from a production based economy to a monetary based economy. Rather than promoting an economy based upon the production of goods and services the government has attempted to build an economy based upon the manipulation of the money supply. Such an economy is a mirage. Increasing the money supply without a corresponding increase in the production of goods and services leads to devaluation of the dollar and inflation, and reducing the money supply without policies that promote the production of more goods and services will result in a recession.

You are dreaming. Yesterday the second largest bank failure in the history of the U.S. took place. The banking industry in the U.S. is holding a lot of low yield U.S. Treasury securities that they were pressured into buying by the Biden Administration in order to finance the government's big spending programs. As interest rates increase those government securities lose value because of their low yields, so banks must either sell the securities at a loss to raise cash or hold them and watch their values decline. But if the government discontinues it's policy of raising interest rates, inflation will continue and maybe worsen; so the banks and the U..S. economy are caught in a damn if you do and damn if you don't situation. If the government raises interest rates, existing U.S, bonds lose value; and if the government does nothing about interest rates or lowers them inflation will continue and maybe worsen. Reckless monetary policy by the government has set up an unstable house of cards, and I fear the economic and social consequences of those policies will not be pretty when that house collapses.

So says the German fool who thinks Cuba is a great place to live. Bidens's budget "helps the 'working class'?" Biden's economic and tax policies will help to make the working class poorer. "Rich freeloaders", that sounds like another name for career politicians and career government bureaucrats who contribute nothing to the economy and live off the wealth created by hard working Americans. .

All the videos are from the same source, Capitol Building security cameras. The Jan.6 Committee only showed video that supported their claims of a violent insurgency. You are the only person I have even heard saying the "new videos" are not authentic. The videos were released to Fox News by the current Speaker of the House. You just can't accept facts that don't support what you want to believe. If all politicians in Germany are as dishonest as you, I feel sorry for the German people. And I don't need you to tell me what Trump said in his Jan.6 speech because I watched the speech. I also saw the video where the Jan.6 Committee edited out the part of Trump's speech where he told his supporters to march to the Capitol Building to "lawfully and peacefully" make their voices heard.
