Just the News has a lengthy piece this morning about how President Trump didn’t send his supporters to the US Capitol to commit violence on January 6th, we know that because we heard the speech.
January 6th was a massive security failure, and, for me, these are the most pressing questions I have about the events that day.
Did our intelligence community completely miss the advance planning by “knuckleheads?” That is one scary thought.
Another scary thought is, if they didn’t miss the planning, then why wasn’t something done to back up the Capitol police?
And, my third scary thought is, if our vaunted intelligence agencies had an inkling of violence coming that day, why wasn’t Trump informed?
Growing evidence Capitol assault was planned weakens incitement case against Trump, experts say
Kevin Brock
Brock ( Kevin Brock, former assistant director of intelligence for the FBI) thinks that Trump “was caught by surprise at what happened” and was probably unaware of the segment of the crowd intent on violence. That was “a failure, frankly, on the intelligence that he should have been provided as president of the United States,” Brock said. “We shouldn’t be in a position where knuckleheads like Proud Boys and Oath Keepers can plan a disruptive violent event and it catches us by surprise.”
Still unanswered are questions about how much House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell knew in advance of the potential for violence and when they knew it. Also unresolved are lingering questions surrounding the Pentagon’s pre-attack offer to send National Guard troops to reinforce the Capitol Police.
I no longer care about the argument about siphoning votes from the establishment Republicans and thus allowing the Dems to win everything.
Frankly, the Democrats have perfected stealing elections, so Republicans are going to have a very hard time going forward anyway. Does anyone in their right mind think there will be another Bush-like Republican President in the White House again?
I was looking for an opportunity to use this Hogan meme making its way quietly around Maryland. You gotta laugh at ’em! It will drive them crazy!
For decades we have been told we must stick with the Republicans—Republicans like Senator Mitch McConnell and my own Governor and Never-Trumper Larry Hogan (who was the chairman of the National Governors Association)?
We have been told until I want to throw up to stick with the Rs and change the party from within.
No more!
I want to work within a party I feel passionate about.
So I am definitely cheering for the creation of a Patriot Party (or whatever it might be called).
Not that I needed to hear McConnell’s speech to make up my mind, but it surely was the last straw.
Sen. Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said that the mob was fed lies and “provoked” by President Trump and other people in a blistering speech on the Senate floor.
Trump Has Discussed Starting a New Political Party
President Trump has talked in recent days with associates about forming a new political party, according to people familiar with the matter, an effort to exert continued influence after he leaves the White House.
Mr. Trump discussed the matter with several aides and other people close to him last week, the people said. The president said he would want to call the new party the “Patriot Party,” the people said.
Mr. Trump has feuded in recent days with several Republican leaders including Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.), who on Tuesday said Mr. Trump deserved blame for provoking the deadly Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol. Polls show Mr. Trump retains strong support among rank-and-file GOP voters.
[….]
Third parties have typically failed to draw enough support to play a major role in national elections. Any effort to start a new party would likely face intense opposition from Republican party officials, who would chafe at the thought of Mr. Trump peeling off support from GOP candidates. [That is what they always say to keep us in line.—ed]
“Chafe!” They would be raging because frankly the Trump base (which he expanded!) is the base of the Republican Party.
A Trump-led party will kill the Republican Party and I am ready for that! Are you?
The next time you get a fund raising letter from the RNC, or any Republican fundraising campaign for a candidate who turned on us, use the prepaid envelope and drop in one of these.
But, don’t ask to be removed from their list, just do it every time they send you an appeal for money. Add a note if you feel inspired.
P.S. Visit my Facebook page for RRW and see the hundreds of comments backing My Pillow Guyand the effort by the Cancel Culture to destroy his business. Backfiring just as AOC’s attack on Goya Foods backfired.
Update: Sullivan’s brother turned him in, says he was in charge of the Capitol riot at Gateway Pundit.
I had planned to write at Refugee Resettlement Watch today, but it can wait.
There is simply too much news coming at us on investigations surrounding the storming of the Capitol apparently led by an organized Antifa/BLM contingent.
First have a good laugh about the meme making its way around social media. Keep it going because humor is a peaceful political weapon.
For a laugh….
Will Biden pardon Sullivan some day?
I think Sullivan should be charged as an accessory to murder as he was egging on those breaking through a Capitol door that resulted in the murder of Ashli Babbitt.
(I am not excusing the legitimate Trump supporters who followed instructions from Sullivan and other evil people and entered the Capitol, that was dumb and wrong.)
Watch this and cry…..
(If it disappears from Youtube, go to Gateway Punditwhere hopefully it has been preserved.)
This is Sullivan’s own video! He even brags about shopping for his Trump hat!
Think about! This punk is responsible for the second Impeachment vote against President Trump. The shameful Members of Congress (including ten Republicans) couldn’t wait for the truth to be revealed.
So what have they accomplished? They have made Trump supporters even more angry and determined to never forget!
We expected it from the Democrats, but here are the Ten Republicans who rushed to judgement:
A few months ago I made a special category for Political rats. Just saying!
All of my posts on the events that began on a cheerful patriotic note on January 6th are tagged January 6th 2021, beginning with my first postabout what I saw at the Ellipse that morning.
Last night I told you that a national security expert present at the Capitol on the afternoon of January 6th, 2021, a day which will go down in history as one of the worst days in our nation’s history—not because of the so-called Trump-inspired ‘riot’ but because of the massive security fail that was very likely planned in advance to get Donald Trump.
One of my readers last night made this astute comment:
Since 9/11, Washington DC has become the most thoroughly surveilled, security-intensive city on Earth. The Capitol police, DC police, Secret Service, FBI, and other alphabet soup security agencies undoubtedly train and re-train for every terrorist contingency or breach. They have to be prepared for Al-Qaida-type operations on DC’s federal institutions, correct? And most assuredly at a Joint Session of Congress. And likely every superstar in private security and counter-measures is under contract to the federal government for consulting. Yet, with all that, we are expected to believe that a rag-tag bunch of 100 or so civilians with MAGA hats breached security and established a position within the Capitol Rotunda? Just not possible. If this doesn’t fail the smell test, nothing does.
Also yesterday, investigative reporter John Solomon dropped a bomb, too late to save the President from another rushed impeachment at the hands of what I now truly believe are evil people working against the average American, the deplorables as they call them, for their own personal power and to usher in a socialist/communist government.
In my writing, I have never labeled people evil, but I do so now.
Cowering lawmakers on January 6th. Instead of impeaching Trump yesterday they should have been demanding an investigation into the massive security failure that showed the world how weak they are.
Gateway Punditreported on Solomon’s investigation, and here is their headline:
DC Police Reject FOIA Request For Records Related to Their Probe of Siege of Capitol – Insider Leaked Maps, Internal Docs to Help Assist Rioters Navigate Building
What did Pelosi and McConnell know of the planned attack on the US Capitol before the House impeached President Trump for inciting violence?
President Trump was blamed for the siege of the US Capitol last Wednesday, however the FBI confirmed the attack was planned several days in advance.
Investigative reporter John Solomon dropped a bombshell on Wednesday night and said the DC police rejected his FOIA request for records pertaining to their investigation of the siege of the U.S. Capitol.
The DC police said release of the records would be ‘personally embarrassing’ and privacy invading to release the documents.
Are we expected to believe that the FBI knew in advance and did nothing else about it, other than notify other law enforcement? Could they not have at least notified the hundreds of thousands of innocent Trump people in advance that their lives were in danger. Did they notify the President?
Hell they are now blathering all over the mainstream media about expected pro-Trump “armed” riots planned in all 50 states in coming days—obvious for all to see it is a Leftwing disinformation campaign!
Why no such public warning in advance of January 6th?
At least three Trump Patriots died and others were injured because of the malfeasance of law enforcement!
Clearly the FBI didn’t tell the President because he surely would have warned people in his speech that the FBI had concerns that bad actors were going to be there!
“We’re gonna fight for those documents but something tells me what’s in those documents has some very very big relevance to what happened on The Hill and the question I have is what did Nancy Pelosi know, what did Mitch McConnell know about these threats beforehand,” John Solomon told former Missouri Governor Eric Greitens. “If they didn’t know then, it’s an intelligence failure of the police. If they did know there’s something they didn’t tell us before we went into this impeachment.”
Solomon said the FBI, NYPD and USCP had prior knowledge of plans for violence at the US Capitol, including intel threatening murder of police officers.
Rush to judgement? Three crucial questions remain unanswered about Capitol siege
What did Nancy Pelosi know? A prior plot or spontaneous riot? Were there inside facilitators?
John Solomon
One thing recent history has taught America is the first storyline of major tragedies or controversies is never the most accurate.
[….]
Since the weekend, major bombshell revelations already have substantially revised the initial story of a spontaneous mob overrunning an unsuspecting Capitol police force.
Why didn’t FBI Director Wray go directly to the President with the information they had in advance?
The FBI admitted Tuesday it received information ahead of the Jan. 6 tragedy suggesting some participants were planning a “war” on the Capitol, including killing officers and distributing maps of the complex. It alerted Washington D.C. law enforcement through the joint terrorism task force alert system. It also “disrupted” the travel plans of some of the suspected trouble-makers.
[….]
The New York Police Department is reported to have given the Capitol Police similar intelligence warnings of impending violence.
The chief federal prosecutor in Washington declared Tuesday he is pursuing conspiracy charges, signaling the attacks on the Capitol involved multiple acts and multiple conspirators working in concert with each other. The prosecutor talked about the planting of carefully constructed IEDs as one such act. In other words, there was pre-planning for some elements of last Wednesday’s chaos.
This new evidence raises the first compelling question that remains unanswered. How could Trump incite an attack that had already been pre-planned and was in motion before his speech ended?
A senior intelligence official told Just the News he has found no evidence that the president, the White House or the National Security Council was alerted in formal intelligence briefings to the pre-warnings or suspicions of violence the FBI and NYPD have admitted they had.
[….]
The second major question that remains unanswered is:
What did House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the other leaders in Congress know — and when did they know it — about the possibility for violence and the Pentagon’s pre-attack offer to send National Guardsmen to reinforce the Capitol Police?
Sund alleged that House Sergeant-at-Arms Paul Irving was concerned with the “optics” of declaring an emergency ahead of the protests and rejected a National Guard presence. He says Senate Sergeant-at-Arms Michael Stenger recommended that he informally request the Guard to be ready in case it was needed to maintain security.
[….]
Finally, there is this troubling third question: Were there facilitators inside the Capitol and outside it who instigated or enabled the attack to be carried out?
Rep. James Clyburn (D-S.C.) one of the House’s longest serving and most respected members, first raised this question a few days ago. He aptly noted that protesters were able to locate and penetrate his unlisted, unmarked office within minutes, raising the possibility they had inside help.
And video taken contemporaneously shows officers and other people opening doors to rushing rioters and some people — purported by the filming cameramen to be leftist anarchists —smashing windows and urging protesters to jump into the Capitol.
Identifying any insider help and the motives will be the final and perhaps most delicate task investigators face.
I know there is not much we can do to investigate.
I admit I have been feeling sad that some of our people would break into the Capitol, but I am not feeling sad any longer. I am outraged because I now believe it was a set-up designed to further ruin Donald Trump who has stood in the way of the globalists and socialists who want to change America. We must get to the bottom of it!
We aren’t trained investigators, but what we can do is support those who are and to speak up! Now is not the time to shut up and hide (even if you are losing friends and family members over what you believe).
Jordan Davidson writing at theFederalistlists some of the many occasions over the last few years when leading Democrats used language to incite unrest among their followers.
We are all aware of the massive, really shameful, double standard when it comes to the media and their favored political pals, but honestly it is this double standard and its blatant unfairness that will fuel further unrest.
While Democratic politicians and the corporate media blamed President Donald Trump for the mob riot at the Capitol on Wednesday, saying his rhetoric incited violence, many of these same lawmakers and bureaucrats have for years called for violence and physical action against those who believe differently than they do.
“Hate to break it to you but if Trump had won, there would have been violence on Wednesday, and it most certainly would have been worse. How do I know? Because Democrats have been endorsing violence as a political tactic throughout the Trump Administration,” wrote Grabien founder Tom Elliott on Twitter.
[….]
In 2018, Democratic Rep. Ted Lieu of California said on MSNBC that if Trump fired special counsel Robert Mueller, there would be “widespread civil unrest” as people would “take to the streets.”
Similarly, former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper agreed that if Trump fired Mueller, it would “set off a firestorm not only on the Hill but also in the streets.”
[….]
Former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder encouraged a group of “liberal activists,” to fight back, a sentiment that was met with applause and laughter.
“Michelle [Obama] always says, ‘When they go low, we go high,’” Holder began. “No. No. When they go low, we kick them.”
[….]
More recently, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi said that, in politics, “when you’re in the arena, you have to be ready to take a punch, and you have to be ready to throw a punch … for the children.”
I’m sorry but I can’t help laughing at an image we likely will never see of Nancy in her heels running for cover on Wednesday.
And, never forget that these Democrat leaders NEVER spoke up against their supporters, those raging and burning through American cities this past summer.
I’m not condoning any violence, but is it any wonder that those who love the President and know he won the election in a landslide reacted as they did on January 6th?
Be sure you do everything you can to remind people of the “dangerous rhetoric” of the Left!
But, have fun with it! They cannot tolerate ridicule, the most powerful political weapon according to Obama’s idol Saul Alinsky. They can dish it, but they can’t take it!
Fight Back! And have fun!
