"Honore. Isn’t this the same fool who let New Orleans drown?"

No..he was called in after the drowning and did a respectable job of a bad situation. (I'm from Louisiana, and have relatives in New Orleans). I suspect you are recalling the New Orleans mayor (whose name I forget, and too lazy to look up) at the time.

"Honore on Monday dismissed the union chief's comments, while also seeming to support them.

"That's BS," Honore said April 5 on CNN. "The Capitol Police can meet the mission. The former Army officer noted that he understands the "enthusiasm" to hire more officers, but the union chief's claim is an "overstatement."

"This little piece of s--- with his @Yale law degree should be run out of DC and Disbarred ASAP," Honore reportedly wrote in a now-deleted tweet.

In another tweet that still appears on his feed, Honore wrote of Colorado Republican and gun rights activist Rep. Lauren Boebert: "Put Her Stupid A-- on the No Fly List."

This guy is pissing in the wind. This is the same careless asshattery that took down McChrystal during the Obama-Biden White Hut.

Once Nancy deems this RINO swamp rat as a liability, they'll frame his ass in the MSM and dump him.

So back in the Vietnam Era most of us enlisted men thought command was uniformed and basing decisions on their futures.. 50+ years later “Same-O, Same-O.

I’ll bet Lauren could drop the loud-mouthed punk Honore like a bad habit with a dot to the forehead...

Pelosi is the one who got the Capitol Hill police to drop the security measures like NO BACK PACKS, and USING THE METAL DETECTOR, and TICKETS REQUIRED BEFORE ENTRY INTO THE BUILDING.

Pelosi found some random general to tell all the lies she wanted him to say.

Call me real skeptical.

New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin (of Katrina infamy):

Thank you, immensely, Mr. Warthog, World famous crime fighter.

I’m distressed my recall is so poor and that I may have smeared a good man. I’m glad to be set straight.

Burns me to be wrong about such a thing.

I’m sure you’re correct about mixing up the General and Mayor.

Associative memory has helped me out of many a jam, such as finding my errant coffee cup or eyeglasses, but it’s not always a reliable ally ... )

Referring to Sen. Josh Hawley: “This little piece of s-— with his @Yale law degree should be run out of DC and Disbarred ASAP,” Honore reportedly wrote in a now-deleted tweet.


Do you thing the General would have tolerated a statement like that from one of his troops while he was still active? That kind of intemperate remark will bite him in the butt next time he’s before a senate committee. I suppose that’s why he deleted it.

Three-star general, and the most he managed was a single Bronze Star and no Purple Heart...

A "bureaucrat general", and a REMF.

Deep State JBT.

Imagine if a PDJT nominee said such disrespectful stuff about black congresscritters?

"MPD, USCP, and the DCNG could have EASILY handled January 6th. But for various reasons related to intel, planning, and politics they did not have enough personnel at the Capitol. It’s as simple as that."

NO it is "not as simple as that"....it is the Speaker's job to make sure the security is enough.....Pelosi is at fault and is no where to be found...

Didn’t this joker (Honore) take guns away from all New Orleans residents?

Being selected by pelosi ought to tell us where the real extremism exists in the military.

I knew Russ Honore when he was a captain (O-3). He got to were he is by affirmative action. If merit was the sole measure he wouldn’t have gotten beyond major (O-4). He was pushed ahead because of so few officers of color in his year group.

I am not sure...that one may be on Governor (Dem) Blanco, or Nagin. Confiscations certainly happened, and as a result, the Louisiana Legislature specifically denied any future confiscation BY STATE LAW under any "state of emergency" situation.

When asked by WLS if the National Guard should patrol certain streets of Chicago, Honore stopped short of endorsing the idea.

"I think that the first thing you do is have an expansion of police, bringing in other police officers from cities around Chicago and the state to control the situation and maintain control in the part of the city that has the violence. And surveillance, it's amazing what happens when you put cameras on every corner. Reinforce the liberties of the people to be able to walk the street so little girls like [15-year-old Hadiaya] Pendleton don't get shot."

What about gun confiscation?

Honore said the same measures used in New Orleans are needed in Chicago...

Yep. Gun-grabber, which is why he said he couldn't run as a Republican in Louisiana.

There were some other “capabilities” that were added to balance things out, not belonging to Honore.
