BTR News hosted by Scotty T. Reid will continue to examine the fallout from the insurrectionist white power grab by Donald Trump and his supporters in Washington, DC last month. One of the things coming out is the large number of off-duty police officers who joined the DC insurrection and this may be why the DC Capitol police were perceived to be soft on Trump's supporters while being brutal to BLM protesters.
The FBI is in the news after a researcher obtained FBI documents via an FOIA request that reveals the conspiracy between the FBI and Chicago Police to assassinate Fred Hampton in his sleep on Dec 4, 1969.
After we examine what's in the news, we will be joined by columnist, cable pundit, and best-selling author Charles Blow to discuss what African Americans could be doing to mount a political power grab of their own by means of reverse migration to the South.
Blow writes, "Race, as we have come to understand it, is a fiction; but, racism, as we have come to live it, is a fact. The point here is not to impose a new racial hierarchy, but to remove an existing one. After centuries of waiting for white majorities to overturn white supremacy, it seems to me that it has fallen to Black people to do it themselves."
THE DEVIL YOU KNOW: A Black Power Manifesto By Charles M. Blow is published by HarperCollins and went on sale on January 26, 2021.

Gastonia, NC - It seems that a small rural county in North Carolina is gaining opposition to a proposed ordinance to require hundreds of dollars and fees and the personal information of any organizer in the county that calls for a protest. Gaston County Sheriff Alan Cloninger worked with the Gaston County attorney Jonathan Sink to draft the ordinance and slip it in minutes before a scheduled county commissioner's meeting. Protest were called at the last minute by the founder of the Gaston County Freedom Fighters to assemble at the courthouse to oppose the proposed "Pay To Protest" ordinance.

Gaston Commissioner Chad Brown recently did a live FB video which has been deleted but in which he was whitewashing Trump's liability for the DC insurrection and instead, like Trump is oft to do, starting blaming the liberal media for spreading lies about the fateful event which claimed 5 lives and put members of the US Congress fleeing for their lives. #TellTheTruth

Donald J. Trump has become the first POTUS to be impeached twice. While some pundits on both the left and right will claim that the first impeachment was a witch hunt, I disagree, Trump was absolutely guilty of the charges that a formal House inquiry found evidence that he had solicited foreign interference in the 2020 U.S. presidential election to help his re-election bid, and then obstructed the inquiry itself by telling his administration officials to ignore subpoenas for documents and testimony.

Historians, should correct me if I am wrong about any points of U.S. history in thinking that part of the blame for the attack on the US capitol on January 6, 2021 is in part due to the actions and precedence set by Presidents Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Jackson set in dealing with the treasonous ring leaders of the Confederacy.
