Join us in standing for justice and being a voice for the voiceless.
Our Story
On January 6, 2021, a historic day unfolded in our nation's capital that will be etched in history. As the foundation of our nation was put to the test, many individuals heeded the call to stand up for their rights, their future, and their beliefs. However, the aftermath saw the government taking action against them, leading to a series of events that unveiled the deep-seated issues within the American justice system.
Before January 6th, many were unaware of just how broken the justice system in America truly was. The January 6th defendants and their advocates soon realized that this injustice had persisted for far too long.
In September of 2021, The Real J6 was founded with a mission to give a voice to the voiceless. Its primary focus was to shine a light on the treatment of January 6th defendants at the hands of their own government. However, as the organization delved deeper into this mission, it became clear that there were numerous unmet needs for the defendants and their families. This realization led to the creation of Stand in the Gap.
Shane Jenkins, the co-founder of Stand in the Gap, possesses a unique perspective on the challenges within the incarceration system and the broken nature of the justice system. His life story, marked by several run-ins with the law prior to January 6th, is one of transformation and redemption. Raised in a religious environment and attending Episcopalian school, Shane's life took a different path due to personal struggles and feelings of abandonment stemming from his adoption and an abusive stepfather. In 2016, while incarcerated and at a low point in his life, Shane had a transformative encounter with CHARM – Christ's Hope And Reconciliation Ministries. Through CHARM, he found faith and redemption, and his life took a new direction.
Paroled in July 2018, Shane transitioned to a CHARM Prison Ministries transitional house and dedicated himself to a life of faith and service. He became involved in prison ministry, took on leadership roles, and found a supportive community at church. Despite his personal transformation, in 2021, Shane once again found himself facing government action. Since then, he has been incarcerated, ministering to others within the system and working to bring about positive change.
Through the efforts of many individuals including The Real J6, significant improvements have been achieved within the DC Department of Corrections, including changes in visitation policies, COVID restrictions, guard behavior, and even Congressional intervention. Shane's unique perspective and experience are foundational to the mission of Stand in the Gap, as it strives to address the systemic issues within the justice system and provide support to those who have been affected by it.

The NRA was a Russia cut out organization. Maria Butina was fucking her way through Republicans for power, influence and corruption.

On the other hand Elaine Chao only fucked McConnel to legitimize her family's corruption and criminality. This is what Putin has over McConnel. She and her family were under investigation, but that is one of many investigations that Bill Barr most likely killed as AG.

The House January 6th committee has been relying largely on evidence from Trump White House staffers, Trump administration officials, Trump political cronies, Trump relatives, as well as various other Republicans and MAGA enthusiasts.
As much as Trump likes to call this a “witch hunt”, it’s his own people who have provided the most damaging evidence against him.
It was one of his own former staffers who used the word unhinged to refer to a bizarre and lengthy meeting which took place at the White House on December 18th/19th. 
Inside the 'unhinged' West Wing meeting on Dec. 18
The chaotic White House meeting took place four days after electors met across the country and made Joe Biden the president-elect, and lasted over six hours, beginning in the Oval Office and ending in Trump's private residence. 
Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., who co-led Tuesday's hearing, described how attorney Sidney Powell, former Overstock.com CEO Patrick Byrne and former national security adviser Michael Flynn accessed the White House with the help of a junior staffer and spoke with Trump alone for 10-15 minutes before White House officials learned of the meeting and made their way to join. 
"I bet Pat Cipollone set a new land speed record," Powell said of the White House Counsel. 
For his part, Cipollone expressed frustration at the group assembled before the president, telling the committee he "was not happy to see the people in the Oval Office."
[ ... ]
Derek Lyons, former White House staff secretary, said the two camps were "shouting at each other, throwing insults at each other — it wasn't just sort of people sitting around a couch chit-chatting."
Isn’t that what the Trump White House usually did anyway?
Former White House lawyer Eric Herschmann said the outside group suggested that Venezuela had meddled with the election and that Nest brand thermostats hooked up to the internet were changing votes.
Thermostats changing votes ranks up there with bleach curing COVID-19.
Cipollone recalled "pushing back" on the group of Trump's outside advisors by asking them to provide any evidence that the election was fraudulent.
He said the group showed a "general disregard for the importance of actually backing up what you say."
Didn’t Cipollone understand that very little of what the Trump administration had ever claimed was actually backed up by reality and logic?
Raskin displayed texts from Cassidy Hutchinson — who has already delivered bombshell testimony before the committee — describing the meeting to Tony Ornato, then-White House deputy chief of staff for operations, saying, "the West Wing is unhinged."
The committee also shared a photograph Hutchinson took of then-Chief of Staff Mark Meadows escorting Giulinai off-campus "to make sure he didn't wander back into the mansion."
Yes, “Drunken Rudy” was escorted off the grounds of the White House. 🥴
While this meeting marked yet another low point in governance by Donald Trump, it does provide excellent material for a play.

despite the lack of elise and specs/tucker... the red door is the best insidious movie since the original.
patrick wilson outdid himself. the scares were nicely done and not campy or cheesy. plus, i love that he added the realistic element of addressing all the trauma his possession caused. hell of a directorial debut for him.
plus, his song collab with ghost? perfection. loved the movie, and it's a good end to the series if they don't decide to make another later on.
