Election: Trump, Maybe I Should Have Had the Guard Out on Jan. 6

Karen Townsend at Haut Hair, Trump: In retrospect, he'd ensure that National Guard troops were deployed on January 6. Hindsight is always 20/20; but remember, it was Nancy Pelosi who resisted. Did she know what to expect? I want to see her email, texts and phone logs. Matt Vespa at Town Hall inspects the latest Jan. 6 Kommitte dishonesty in Faceplant: Here's the Latest Text Message Foul-Up from the Anti-Trump January 6 Committee. Probably not to be the last.

Why can’t these people do their jobs? It’s simple. It’s because they know it’s a lie. They know they’re just sifting through lies—and they got tripped up again on this one. The folks who believed the Trump-Russian collusion circus can get their facts straight about a riot. This trainwreck was not hard to see coming.

Drew Allen at Am Great considers Adam Schiff’s Delusion, "The California Democrat has a lifetime of failure as a credible writer of fiction." At this point, credible only to gullible media and leftists. Mark Tapscott at ET reports House Republicans Call on Democrats to Reopen US Capitol Complex to the Public, after all, we bought for them. 

Chris Roach at Am Great worries about What Happened to the Riots? "The fact that Antifa and BLM violence can be unleashed and put back in a bottle is itself worrisome, as the shot-callers are mysterious." 

The disappearance of the Left’s riots confirms what many have suspected: that they were centrally planned. On the surface, this was hard to believe. Antifa looked like Darwin’s waiting room, a gaggle of meth-mouthed degenerates, many with criminal records and obvious mental health problems. They were augmented by ordinary street thugs, amped up by the anti-police rhetoric of Black Lives Matter.

But it turns out both groups had a lot of support and included prominent, professional members. They also had internal organization, including encrypted communications channels, supply trucks, and extensive training for their cadres. This is all well documented in Andy Ngo’s exposé, Unmasked.

They also benefited from friendly media. The media willingly repeated their disinformation about how minor the riots were, with CNN’s use of the phrase “fiery, but mostly peaceful protests” revealing the extent of the agitprop. Antifa and BLM occupied a Seattle neighborhood for weeks, during which several people were robbed, beaten, and killed. Nonetheless, the mayor described it as having a street festival atmosphere. The media and officials downplayed the millions of dollars in damage, assaults, and murders.

And the rioters benefited from resources, including lots of money. Food trucks, melee weapons, and legal support from the Communist-affiliated National Lawyers Guild accompanied some of the riots. Bail funds obtained money nationwide to ensure that violent rioters would be quickly released. Kamala Harris even encouraged donations.

Not unrelatedly Anxious anxiously whines GOP maps Biden probes, prelude to 2024 culture war.

Joe Concha thinks This issue will secure a Democratic wipeout in 2022. Crime. At Spectator World, Charles Lipson explains Why local crime hurts Democrats nationally  Atop Da Hill worries that The Democratic Party's deterioration is shattering hope for the midterms. We can hope. Breitbart has a poll showing a 50 Point Drop for Biden Among Young People. Oofdah! At the Slantic whines about The Democrats Dragging Biden Down in the Polls. Also on da Hill, Liberals disappointed after Biden's first year. Clyburn didn't pick him to mollify liberals, he picked him to keep moderate and conservative Dems in the clan. Peter Lucas at BH, Even Democrats can see Biden should bow out of second term. Insty, NEVER UNDERESTIMATE JOES’ ABILITY TO F**CK THINGS UP: Year-end White House Report Card: Biden bottomed out, moving up?, and attributes the uptick to "Dead cat bounce." I attribute it to the Christmas spirit. 

As the White House backtracks on Kamala's claim that they didn't see COVID variants coming (Karen Townsend at Town Hall) Kira Davis at Red State, I Have Never in My Life Seen a Worse Politician Than Kamala Harris. A low bar to get under, but if she really tries. . . 

Mike LaChance at LI is hopeful that  Republicans are Favored to Make Gains in 2022 Governor Races, “Republicans are seeing improved prospects in eight states’ gubernatorial contests next year, according to the Cook Political Report.”

MSNBC is really worried about the Hispanic vote (not the voters), How Democrats' Hispanic voter bungling could really haunt them in 2022. Victor Davis Hansen at Am Great explains Why Would Hispanics Drop the Left  "The bill for the arrogance and incompetence displayed by leftist elites is now coming due." Ross Barkin, On the Asian turn to the Republican Party, Pretending Problems Don't Exist Won't Make Them Disappear. Well, if the media fails to cover it, it kind of does.

The Democrat party's control over education is also an issue. At NYPO, Biden HHS officials told to factor teacher union talks into reopening guidance. Because teachers unions officials are such excellent scientists and MDs. Mary Lou Lang at JTN reports, Teachers get raises, bonuses from federal COVID relief funds meant to reopen schools safely. When pouring money on problems, much of it often seeps into unwanted places. 

Lexi Lonas on Da Hill notes that GOP senators slam Democrats over inflation: Party agenda 'hurting the poorest families' It will be a major talking point this time around. 

From WaEx, Larry Hogan thinks 2024 Trump run would be bad for GOP and 'country'. I like Larry; he's the best we can hope for in this navy blue state. At Fox, Trump calls McConnell 'disaster,' says GOP needs new leadership, "'The Republicans have to get a new leader,' Trump said on 'Sunday Morning Futures'" Likely true, but we owe the Murder Turtle enormous credit on the Supreme Court. As squishy as they are, Democrat nominees would be far worse. 

Insty, WHEN TECH LORDS COVER FOR PEDOPHILES AND THEIR EMPLOYERS: "A friend texts: “CNN: Child Nookie Network.”" Margot Cleveland at Da Fed (which looks like it got a makeover), Right Responds To Cancel Culture By Building Its Own Infrastructure, And The Left Goes Nuts. Well, it's pretty much their standard response.
