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.
Because the Democrats are full on thugs who have stolen authority and fully dismissed rule of law, sooner or later there must be a slaughter to instill fear. In the absence of Law, Fear is all that is left...
Sociopaths. That is what democraps are. No rules. No boundaries. No remorse.
Day by day, I think more and more this will end badly for us. Lives lost, property destroyed or taken and life savings taken or lost as the economy is destroyed.
One thing after another they are going to take us out at the knees if we don’t stop them.
They do not want our submission. They want us DEAD. Never doubt that. Never.
I would quibble with the identifiable targets portion of your post. A million guys with guns are light and mobile as hell and can pop up anywhere.
South Carolina's troops are either on the way home today or already home. Not at the governor's request.
It is in your face that these pukes have no qualms it gunning down the right.
The right needs to wake up and start administering some what they want to them. When are we going to realize that voting is not going to fix what is broken in Amerika
And the clock is ticking
Or as my younger family members say, ‘I’ll just Google it’.
The word for THAT is propaganda
Thanks for posting that. It’s a shame, I think him and I would of got along very well.
What is it with these women in power? They are psychos. Horrible people. Nancy needs to be removed from her position in the House. She is deranged and demented. Trump’s ignoring her did her in.
We are not going into Civil war. The military is in complete control of the govt. Not Joe Biden or the democrat/communists. The “war” is being played out behind the scenes while Biden is being allowed to pretend to be President for a short period of time. He has no real authority other than writing meaningless EO’s that will never really go into effect. The Republic is being restored right now. Have a little faith in the military that you are so proud of being a part of.
Nancy is projecting her insanity on the rest of the Nation. Unfortunately, many are willing recipients of it.
Read Unintended Consequences. Read Travis’ essay “When the Music Stops” Research Jack Hinson and what he alone did during the Civil War. Read “What Good is a Handgun Against an Army.” Remember the fear in DC when the DC Sniper when they for a “white man in a white van.” Then make a plan.
They are like the MacBeths.
Oh gosh. Thanks for the link. I can’t believe how quickly the Biden Machine is destroying America.
“I can’t believe how quickly the Biden Machine is destroying America.”
In mere days!
