In his confirmation hearing Monday, attorney general nominee Merrick Garland plans to tell the Senate his priority is domestic terrorism, and that he personally will supervise the prosecution of what he calls “white supremacists” who stormed the Capitol.
It is disturbing that Garland is embracing the rancid lie that the Capitol riot was racially motivated, an uprising by “white supremacists” which rivalled the Islamist terror attack of 9/11 in which 3,000 people were slaughtered.
This is Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s narrative, which she has driven with escalating hyperbole until it no longer resembles anything that happened on January 6.
Every Republican has condemned the riot. At least 140 Capitol police were injured that day, including one officer who lost an eye, and others with brain injuries, according to police union chief Gus Papathanasiou.
What happened was bad enough without the lies.
No one is fooled by Pelosi’s feigned defense of law and order as she totters around the House in high dudgeon, as if she hadn’t already trashed every norm of American politics, using Trump’s unorthodox personality as an excuse.
She crossed the Rubicon at the State of the Union last year, when she dramatically ripped up President Trump’s speech as she stood behind him.
That single act of desecration incited more anger among conservatives than anything Trump had to say.
“When she tore up the state of the union, they started this war,” says a relative of Richard Barnett, an Arkansas 60-year-old jailed over the riot, who placed one foot on what he thought was Pelosi’s desk in an act of reciprocal disrespect.
Pelosi has no problem with violence, either, as long as it furthers her aims: “I just don’t even know why there aren’t uprisings all over the country.

It wasn't a riot.
Those words need to be repeated over and over again until Nov 2024. Never forget....
A much-needed national discussion is taking place WRT a ‘9/11-style’ commission to investigate the Jan 6 Capital incident.
I SAY YES—TAXPAYERS DEMAND PELOSI’S ANSWERS-—WHY DID SHE NOT PROTECT “OUR HOUSE” ON JAN 6?
<><> ** What conversations did she or her staff give Sergeant at Arms Paul Irving specific to January 6th?
<><> ** What response did Pelosi give tax-paid security officials when tax-paid National Guard support was initially requested?
<><> ** Why is Pelosi Refusing to Turn Over tax-paid Official Public Documents WRT US Capitol Security?
<><> ** Why are tax-paid House Officers refusing to turn over tax-paid documents relevant to that day?
<><> ** Why did Pelosi give $1 billion tax dollars to Leonardo SpA computer systems, Pescara, Italy, that helped Dominion elect Joe Biden?
Yes, but there is.
NY Post’s Devine article presents an very interesting review of these Jan 6th attacks by claiming they were protests about fraudulent election results. When throughout that time one would expect to see signs and statements from sundry sources claiming this but didn’t and could not because those NT’s (Never Trumpers) involved were not damaging and vandalizing for that reason but to make it appear so.

Can you say Clinton crime syndicate?
Well the mostly worthless & pathetic FBI can’t.
There’s a double standard for elections. Of course there’s a double standard for law and order
Gutless Republicans will keep losing until they stop being gutless. Resist the democrats with the same strategies and tactics and fervor that they use themselves!
