President Joe Biden has asked the Office of the Director of National Intelligence to conduct a “comprehensive threat assessment” of domestic extremism following the Jan. 6 assault on the Capitol by a violent mob that left five people dead.

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki announced on Friday that Biden decided to ask for the review, which will be coordinated with the FBI and Department of Homeland Security, because “clearly more needs to be done” to address the rising threat posed by violent extremists across the country.

“The January 6th assault on the capitol and the tragic deaths and destruction that occurred underscored what we have long known: the rise of domestic violent extremism is a serious and growing national security threat,” Psaki said. “The Biden administration will confront this threat with the necessary resources and resolve.”

The pro-Trump rioters who breached the Capitol earlier this month included members of the alt-right, self-described “Western chauvinist” Proud Boys and far-right militia groups Oath Keepers and Three Percenters. All three groups have increasingly provided security or worked alongside neo-Nazi and white supremacist factions, according to national security experts.

4. PLEASE Please Please Please

take a good hard look into the private colleges.

A lot of those top-level right-wing people came out of the Ivies. Woodrow Wilson did a LOT of damage to Princeton and the US of A and it is only now that school is willing to even admit to it.

The female Ivies also need to be examined. If you think they are just a bunch of harmless girls then you clearly have not read or understood what Harper Lee was saying in her book "To Kill a Mockingbird."

5. I guess "violent extremists" is now the preferred euphamisn for "terrorists."

6. You could start at 310 First Street SE, Washington, D.C. Home of the RNC.

I would imagine all sorts of colorful emails, memos and receipts would be found there. Not to mention some very interesting mailing and email lists not generally shared with the voting membership.
