Five Years After Jan. 6: Washington’s Divisions Endanger America’s Future

On the fifth anniversary of the January 6, 2021 events at the U.S. Capitol, what should have been a solemn moment of unity instead underscores America’s ongoing political fracture. The day revealed not only a divided Washington but also exposed how partisan battles continue to undermine our nation’s security and sovereignty.

How Can We Secure America When Our Leaders Refuse To Unite?

From President Trump urging supporters to protest Congress’ certification process — while insisting he intended peaceful action — to Democrats wielding the anniversary as a political cudgel, it is clear that political posturing has eclipsed national interest. The absence of an official memorial or even the installation of a plaque honoring Capitol police who risked life and limb is no accident; it signals a failure of leadership to honor sacrifice over politics.

The stark refusal by both parties to agree on shared history or accountability drives home a troubling reality: Many in Washington prioritize ideological victory over safeguarding American institutions. As Speaker Mike Johnson declared delays in honoring fallen officers due to alleged statutory barriers, one must ask: when will patriotic duty overcome bureaucratic excuses?

Why Are Security Failures Still Unaddressed Five Years Later?

The bipartisan finger-pointing at security lapses—ranging from delayed National Guard deployment to missed threats like pipe bombs—only highlights non-negotiable vulnerabilities in protecting our capital and by extension, the heartland of American governance. Republican-led committees tout transparency but simultaneously dismiss critical inquiry as partisan attacks, undermining efforts that should unite us around preserving law and order.

While Democrats recall January 6 as an assault on democracy and Republicans question election integrity narratives, real Americans demand results: robust security measures matching threats facing our nation. How much longer must families endure uncertainty about whether their government can defend itself against chaos?

This political deadlock plays into globalist hands, distracting from pressing national security priorities such as countering hostile foreign regimes and securing our borders against unchecked inflows fueling instability at home.

In contrast, former President Trump’s America First policies demonstrated decisive action by prioritizing sovereignty and law enforcement strength—offering a blueprint for restoring order amid partisan gridlock.

Today, as politicians debate semantics surrounding January 6 rather than focusing on practical solutions, American families rightly wonder if their leaders truly place country above party. Freedom-loving citizens deserve more than fractured narratives; they require unwavering commitment to constitutional principles ensuring liberty, security, and justice.

The failure to properly commemorate those who defended the Capitol—and the continued politicization of that day—reflects broader erosion of respect for rule of law essential to national survival.
