Just catching up to a crazy story from earlier in the week that’s pretty important not to skip over, giving all that has been going on with the National Guard.
Now, there were a lot of questions about the need of having such a massive buildup of 25,000 troops in Washington, D.C to protect the Capitol.
But apparently that wasn’t all that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) wanted, according to Ken Cuccinelli, the former Acting Deputy Homeland Security Secretary.
According to Cuccinelli, not only did Pelosi want all those troops, “a division,” to protect the Capitol, but she also wanted “crew-manned machine guns in Washington.” He said, “That was rejected because there’s simply no use for that in a security arrangement for a civilian undertaking. Just — so some of this has gone beyond any legitimate security need.” He meant crew-served vehicle borne machine guns, according to John Roberts.
Oh, my. Was she really envisioning gunning down Americans? Imagine if it hadn’t been someone like Cuccinelli with the good sense to refuse such a request. That’s crazy. But it says a lot, and none of it good about Nancy Pelosi. I’m also confused. Isn’t she against even semi-automatic rifles like AR-15s but now she’s cool with this? Or is it only when they aren’t being used to defend her? When they’re protecting her, any amount of force is cool, apparently.
Cuccinelli also made the point that Homeland Security wasn’t just about D.C., although of course they want to protect the Capitol.
“At the same time, where was this concern for the rest of America?” he asked. “But when their own butt was on the line, all of a sudden they want every troop and soldier they can find to protect them. And we’re perfectly happy to contribute to keeping them safe. That’s part of our goal and our job, but not at the sacrifice of the rest of America.”“Congressmen aren’t more important than any other American,” Cuccinelli added. “And everyone in this country should be kept safe and that’s what the Department of Homeland Security has endeavored to do through this entire difficult year.”
Great point. Where was the concern from these same folks when regular citizens were being attacked, killed and burnt out with the BLM/Antifa riots? Their concern was sorely lacking. They never criticized BLM or Antifa by name. Democrats celebrated the BLM at their convention and Joe Biden even had the temerity to call Antifa “just an idea.” Democrats, including Pelosi, attacked President Donald Trump for daring to provide federal agents to protect the federal courthouse that was under nightly attack in Portland calling the federal agents “stormtroopers” in an insane attack.
Yep. In the next 6 months people are going to be utterly shocked at what Biden has done to the country and they are going to realize the Capital patriots didn’t go far enough.
In only two days in office Biden has destroyed 70,000 jobs, he has ordered all criminal foreign invaders released and he has China now involved in our power grid. ONLY TWO DAYS in office!
Our biggest problem is the Left has demonstrated that they have more people who are actually willing to engage in violence, and that in Democrat-controlled areas, they can do so with impunity.
She does this sh!t and no one says anything. Not 1 damn Republican points it out. It’s like she is untouchable. Cold busted getting her hair done after making a shop open up for her, she wore no mask and was on camera. And just says she was framed and didn’t know the rules. SHE LIVES IN THE STATE AND HELPED MAKE THE RULES, SHE CALLED AND HAD THEM OPEN FOR HER. And that’s it. It all goes away. She blamed them and that’s it. I know it’s a silly example but it’s just a bunch of crap. They vote her back in that position.
Sooo, Ms Nancy wants to turn real weapons of war against the American citizens while trying to keep us from having weapons of war (semiauto .223)
Serious stress on a person will bring out their true character. Wonder what she is afraid of.
So let’s not have anymore misunderstandings about this. The Washington DC elites will turn the full force of the US military loose on its citizens if they so choose. Some commanders, officers, NCO’s and enlisted personnel will not obey that order, many will. They have fired on American civilians before in the Bonus March massacre in the 1930’s.
When patriots are forced to cross the Rubicon they will be as Washington faced at that time, the mightiest military on the planet and yet he won. Pray it doesn’t do there but I don’t think the Marxist will stop unless forced to stop. I pray I’m wrong.
LOL at Madame Defarge creating TARP invest files on 25,000 NG, but wanting to give them machine guns nests. Where did she think they would be pointed?
You say: She would have given the order herself if allowed, I can guarantee you.
Bingo! A close study of the highlights of her entire career make it a certainty.
Her request alone ought to be the basis for a meaningful House action against her, if only to clearly preserve on the Congressional Record, and in the MSM, the details fully set out in the action.
Americans have a right to know the risks our nation faces and from what sources.
What are the odds on whether Kevin McCarthy, an important leader in our party of political opposition, will encourage such an action?
What does it say about him if he does not do so? What does it say about the R congressmen who with threat of his removal do not demand he act?
Wake up America, it becomes clearer every day you are under attack.
What was this about “he has China now involved in our power grid.”?
Pelosi and her ilk are scared shitless. Good, lets keep it that way.
Who is that man you quoted with the picture? I haven’t heard of him before, but he has spoken some very true words.
If that happened, there would be open revolt from all over the nation.
Pelousy is clearly deranged and should be “retired”, forcibly if necessary.
And now this base mob has concluded that we are some kind of enemy of the state. Looking back on this mob's history, I think it's safe to say, their base instincts need to be tempered and tempered fast-like in 2022. and the last thing they need are crew served weapons deployed against their fellow American citizens who they have decided are irredeemable and deplorable and seditious, etc.
I’d call it pre-meditated! She needs to be voted OUT!
Artillery was the weapon of choice in the Yugoslavian break up wars of the early 90’s.
Too easy to locate and take out herewith the surveillance, air power, and even possible overwhelming counter-battery assets.
No, I’m afraid our civil war would mostly involve snipers, IED’s, and drones on the insurgent side. The establishment side has the whole inventory — at least the inventory unaffected by sympathetic actors within the ranks...
If this gets kinetic, it is gonna be filthy... Asymmetric and guerilla warfare usually involves violence against the softest and hardest to defend targets, with a high probability of getting away to do more insurgency tomorrow. Think Viet Cong, Khmer Rouge, or UNITA. If an insurgency is not willing to use THOSE tactics, their initial casualty rates will be too high to form a sustainable insurgency.
To my knowledge, there has been no public explanation of who ordered the NG to DC. None.
We have underestimated her repeatedly. We need to quit doing that. Mock her? Sure. Underestimate her? No.
Bkmrk
One might believe this congress woman would be so frightened, she’d consider resigning her office, returning to the safe place known as home.
The power to hold power is just too strong for such an idea to ever be considered.
After being played a fool, she becomes an even larger fool:
Impeach, Impeach, Impeach falls on an American Citizen.
Pathetic is Fancy Nancy’s middle name.
I wonder what was on that computer of hers that was stolen and returned.
