J6ERS SUE FOR TOO MUCH RUBBER BULLET LOVE
A number of people who were present at the U.S. Capitol on January 6th are seeking tens of millions in damages from the federal government.
Filed this week in Florida, the lawsuit targets the actions of the U.S. Capitol Police and Washington, D.C.’s Metropolitan Police Department.
It alleges that law enforcement used excessive and “indiscriminate” force against protesters, resulting in physical and emotional injuries.
Officers allegedly fired rubber bullets, chemical spray, flashbangs, and other crowd-control measures in a reckless manner, affecting individuals who were not engaged in violence.
In a twist that surely has the Founding Fathers spinning in their marble mausoleums, a group of January 6th visitors is now suing the federal government for the *excessive kindness* shown by Capitol Police, who – in a stunning display of crowd control overkill – apparently confused rubber bullets and chemical sprays for party favors. Claiming the Capitol cops’ “indiscriminate” use of force was a bit much, the lawsuit portrays a scene where flashbangs and projectile munitions rained down on what was allegedly a mostly peaceful gathering, proving that nothing says “land of the free” quite like a government punch-drunk on its own authority. If irony is on trial here, the plaintiffs just subpoenaed Big Time.

Chester Burton "Chet" Atkins, Mister Guitar (1924)June 20, 2026
Atkins got his first guitar by making a trade with his brother, and it was arguably the best deal he ever made. Although he struggled with shyness and suffered from severe asthma—he had to sleep sitting up and often fell asleep still holding his guitar—he became an accomplished guitarist and went on to release several hit records, develop a signature line of guitars, and help create country music's "Nashville sound." What did "Mr. Guitar," as he came to be known, trade to get that first guitar?

West Virginia Day is a state holiday in West Virginia to celebrate its joining the Union in 1863 as the 35th state. The creation of the state was a result of the Civil War.

It was there that the conventions were held to declare West Virginia's independence from Virginia.

Black TeaJune 20, 2026
Excluding water, tea is the most widely consumed drink on the planet, drunk either hot or cold by half the world's population. The vast majority of tea sold in the West is black tea, made from fermented leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant. Generally stronger in flavor and more caffeinated than the green and oolong varieties, black tea retains its flavor for several years and has long been an article of trade, serving as a form of currency into the 19th century in what countries?
