WaPoo is still pimping for the Jan. 6 "Insurrection" committee to go after Trump, and miscellaneous Republicans they don't like, Jan. 6 committee faces unprecedented choice of whether to call Republican lawmakers to testify "Several congressional Republicans have admitted to having some contact with President Donald Trump during the insurrection or in the days leading up to it, making their testimony potentially key to the panel’s stated goal of being ‘guided solely by the facts’" What, Republicans talked to Trump on Jan. 6? Clearly a hanging offense! Also, Dan Balz whines ‘Leave the rest to me’: New DOJ memos show there’s more to learn about Trump and Jan. 6. More selective leaking from DOJ? Knock me over with a feather!
Catherine Salgado at TNP, Poll Reveals Jan 6 Committee Cry Babies Undermined Support For Their Own ‘Investigation’. At Red State, 'Bonchie' thinks Pelosi's January 6th Committee Is Already Starting to Backfire
When their 2022 electoral prospects collapsing, Democrats thought they had their backup figured out. They’d start an “investigation” of January 6th to keep it in the news and trot out politically active police officers to emote and otherwise sell the entire thing to the American people. This was going to be the brilliant ploy that saved them. They even got Liz Cheney and another “Republican” to go along with it. What could possibly go wrong?
Well, if the latest polling is any indication, a lot of things.
Among voters of all parties, 53 percent supported the investigation, down from 66 percent in the survey in June and 58 percent just a week ago. Four out of five Democrats were in favor, while only a quarter of Republicans were, along with half of independents.Why the continued fall in support for the committee? I think the answer is obvious. There’s a lot of peer pressure that comes along with talking about January 6th. Someone that dares to suggest it wasn’t the worst attack on the country since the Civil War is often derided and called an apologist, even if they otherwise hold a nuanced view of condemnation of the events. But as the reality of the committee has become clear for all to see — that it is a publicity stunt with no intention of investigating anything relevant — people are finally saying enough.
Insty on the delay in DOJ THAT MUCH CLOSER TO THE MID-TERMS, HUH? The Justice Department won’t have January 6 evidence ready until 2022. I thought they had open and shut cases, right? WaPoo also whines about How Ashli Babbitt went from Capitol rioter to Trump-embraced ‘martyr’, from the the company that turned criminal dope-fiend woman abuser George Floyd into one.
Trump’s embrace of Babbitt culminated a six-month progression in which her death, and the fate of dozens of jailed rioters, became a topic invoked by a cluster of House Republicans, and the likes of former New York mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani and Fox News host Tucker Carlson.
Her death has inspired vigils, rallies, rap lyrics, social media hashtags (#justiceforashli), T-shirts (“Ashli Babbitt, American Patriot”), as well as an article in a magazine, the American Conservative, comparing her fate to that of George Floyd, the Black man murdered by a Minneapolis police officer.
“They’ve got to pretend that Ashli Babbitt was some kind of Osama bin Laden or some kind of guy flying a plane into a building,” Dinesh D’Souza, a conservative podcaster with 1.7 million Twitter followers, told his audience.
Paul Bedard at WaEx, Cheney in trouble: 77% GOP would not reelect, 53% call her ‘liberal’, but sundance at CTH warns Wyoming Could Be Challenging "The MAGA majority will have to find a way to pre-filter the primary challengers, because if we don’t, the RNC Club’s ‘splitter strategy’ works to protect them on a state level."
Karen Townsend at Hot Hair highlights Mace's massacre of Texas Fleebagger "Texas has a more difficult time getting women out to vote than black, brown voters"
Here’s the thing – voter suppression of black, brown, or any other ethnic minority in Texas is a lie. Mace aptly went through the numbers and schooled Rep. Thompson. What Thompson did was prove that the fleebaggers’ trip to D.C. is all under false premises. If the Democrats are trying to get to the bottom of a Big Lie, they should start with the one being perpetrated by the fleebaggers from Texas.
And yet, Wapoo is still beating the 'voter suppression' drum, Democrats can’t count on voters being mad enough about suppression to overcome it "The so-called ‘backlash effect’ from voting restrictions is far from guaranteed." because voters know, deep down, that voter suppression is a not existent problem. It's just the excuse Democrats use when they loose, and the excuse to leave voting systems protected enough to cheat. 'Bonchie' again, The Panic Is the Point for Democrats and the Reason Is Insidious
But we don’t live in normal times. Rather, the panic is the point, and when you start things with that point of view, it all begins to make a lot more sense.
You see, Democrats and their media allies recognize that the 2022 electoral landscape is looking apocalyptic for them. Not only are they facing strong historical headwinds with it being a first mid-term for a new president, but they are losing on the issues as well. A majority of Americans blame Joe Biden and the Democrats for the inflationary cycle we are in. They blame them for the lagging economy, which grew almost 2% less than expected despite what should have been an exploding, organic recovery. They certainly blame them for the border crisis and the failures in our foreign policy.
Add in the Republican advantage on redistricting, and the House may flip without much any major shift in the electorate, though, there looks to be that forming as well.
What that means is that Democrats have two cards left to play. The first one is milking the unrest on January 6th. As we saw during the first hearing on the matter, Nancy Pelosi’s select committee is absolutely pointless, having no practical goal whatsoever. Rather it exists to trot out partisans, including politically active Capitol Police officers, in order to produce TV ads for 2022. If they can stretch the dog and pony show out until the fall of 2022, they will absolutely do it and that is no doubt the plan.
Past that, the only other card left to play is COVID. Now, you might think that continuing to push lockdowns and mask mandates while undercutting the vaccine would hurt Democrats in the long run, but they are running a different play that most onlookers don’t seem to grasp, including a lot of commentators on the right. The panic they are stoking isn’t meant to earn them new voters. Instead, it’s meant to justify a continuation of emergency orders in a variety of states, many of which include key swing districts that will be decided in 2022.
If the COVID crisis simply doesn’t end, then neither do all the changes to the voting system that allowed mass mail-in voting, drive-thru precincts, and ballot harvesting in 2020 under the guise of an existential emergency. Judges will once again override state laws and the DOJ will use COVID to argue that election integrity laws that return things to normal amount to disenfranchisement. Further, Democrats are acutely aware that Republicans typically vote in person. What better way to suppress that vote than to create enough panic that in-person voting is limited in my key areas?
Stacy McCain solicits for funds in The Big Yellow Button Returns
PayPal has been very, very good to me over the years, and I was disturbed when I read that PayPal is teaming up with the ADL and SPLC to defund alleged “extremist” sites. We know very well how Big Tech has spent the past five years deplatforming anyone who dissents from the “social justice” narrative, and it’s frighten to think that PayPal would join forces with an organization as thoroughly disreputable as the SPLC.
'Tyler Durnden' at Zero Hedge, Twitter Suspends Science Writer After He Posts Results Of Pfizer Clinical Test. Roger L. Simon at ET has some advice, Quit Complaining About Twitter and Quit Already. I never joined. Matt Taibi, Meet the Censored: Hitler "Can history itself violate community standards?" 1984 wasn't meant as a blueprint.
Whether it’s YouTube cracking down on videographer Ford Fischer for covering events involving Holocaust deniers or white supremacists, the same platform zapping footage of the January 6th riots shot by Jon Farina of Status Coup, or Matt Orfalea being punished for violating a “criminal organizations policy” for a spoof coffee commercial involving a mass-murderer, Internet carriers have consistently shown they cannot or will not distinguish between, say, being a Nazi and criticizing one, joking about one, even warning about one.
The frightening thing about the 100YearsAgoLive incident is that it’s not hard to see this becoming a trend, where history itself is deemed to violate common decency. The whole idea of historical education is to prevent future horrors via graphic warnings from the past. Survivors of the Holocaust have always been adamant that we must “Never Forget,” that places such as Auschwitz must never be buried or hidden away but instead displayed prominently, made into lasting cultural artifacts whose purpose is to be so conspicuous as to prevent the natural human impulse to whitewash our sadly expansive history of evil.
