We have previously noted the tremendous, tremendous! seriousness of the January 6th ‘insurrection’ in our nation’s capital, what I have frequently called the Capitol kerfuffle. And now we see the draconian sentence to which Thomas and Lori Vinson were subjected following their guilty plea three months ago: Kentucky couple who were part of mob that […]
