Hakeem Jeffries' commitment to J6 truth, Part II

Hakeem Jeffries appears to want to create the impression that Republicans want to whitewash the 'official' record. When I say official record, I'm being sarcastic in that the record established by the J6 Committee was cherrypicked to create a misleading narrative. When then-Speaker Pelosi rejected Jim Jordan and Jim Banks as members of the J6 Committee, she rejected them so she could control what information got intentionally omitted from their report.

In Part I of this series, I wrote how intentionally deceptive Democrats are. I quoted Hakeem Jeffries as telling a reporter that "What I will say very clearly is that we have as Democrats been very clear that we will support local law enforcement, which includes law enforcement on January 6th, the NYPD, the Chicago Police Department, the Metropolitan Police Department and do what's necessary to help them do their jobs."

Notice that Jeffries didn't say Democrats supported all law enforcement. He said that Democrats support local law enforcement. That means, potentially, not supporting ICE, the FBI, U.S. attorneys and other parts of federal law enforcement. That's quite the omission. I suspect it's intentional.

The Hill article continues its slanted coverage by saying this:

Republicans have sought to downplay both the violence on Jan. 6 and President Trump’s role in fomenting it. Jeffries suggested he expects the new select committee to continue those trends, warning that Democrats won’t allow Trump’s allies to rewrite the history of the tragic event.
Saying that President Trump fomented the riot is ignoring the fact that President Trump told the crowd from the Ellipse to "peacefully and patriotically" make their way to Capitol Hill and to make their voices heard. That sounds like Trump told them to exercise their First Amendment rights to petition their government for redress of their grievances. Trump didn't tell them to go to Capitol Hill and storm the Capitol.

Finally, the new committee is certain to dig into then-Speaker Pelosi's role in rejecting President Trump's offer of 10,000-20,000 National Guard troops deployed before the certification of election results. If President Trump wanted to foment a riot, why would he offer Pelosi 20,000 National Guard troops for the day of the riots?

Jim Jordan had something to say when the fake J6 Committee was hearing testimony:

I say fake J6 Committee because a) only Democrats had subpoena power, b) Eric Swalwell, Jamie Raskin and Adam Schiff were picked to be members of the fake J6 Committee, c) Chairman Bennie Thompson told Republicans that Pelosi couldn't be questioned and d) any Republicans who would've questioned Pelosi and her staff were rejected by Pelosi.

This time, Pelosi isn't off-limits. This time, Adam Schiff is in the Senate and won't be on the Committee. The bad news is that Raskin likely will be on the Committee, along with Swalwell. Swalwell and Raskin aren't men of integrity. Still, Speaker Johnson shouldn't boot them off. He should let his members highlight the Democrats' corruption while they sit on the dais.

Has Sue Ek come face-to-face with DFL hijinks?

Apparently, Minnesota state and county employees aren't that attentive to details. Last night, a frequent reader of this blog sent me a statement from House Speaker-designate Lisa Demuth, R-Cold Spring ." She issued the following statement regarding vote tabulation errors, malfunctions, and discrepancies that have taken place in Sherburne and Scott Counties: The errors and discrepancies we've seen this cycle are intolerable and unacceptable. A free and fair election demands sunlight on the process. These incidents fuel distrust and raise questions about the integrity and accuracy of election results. Without an opportunity to observe or respond Sherburne County added newly-found votes to the total. Just a day later, Scott County announced an unspecified "ballot distribution error" and "ballot scanning malfunction" that triggered an abrupt re-scan of more than 20,000 ballots. There was less than two hours notice between the public announcement and the be...

BREAKING NEWS: counterfeit ballot alert in Minnesota

How Difficult Should it be to Get a Ballot? By John W. Palmer November 4, 2024 Securing an official ballot for your ward and precinct normally requires registration to vote and either showing up at a polling place or securing an absentee ballot. Ballot security is a cornerstone of an election free of fraud. When the tailgate of a vehicle was left open and unattended revealing a large stack of blank ballots, Minnesotans were appalled. Imagine how you would feel when you learn that all it takes to get a reproducible ballot for your ward and precinct is to download a file from a government website. In Stearns and several other Minnesota counties, imagination is not needed. Right now, all you have to do is go to Minnesota’s Secretary of State’s website and download a file. Go to this website and select “Get a sample ballot”. Then enter your zip code and address and your ballot appears. Now you are able to download the ballot as a PDF file. Once you have the PDF file you can print as many ...

Tim Walz doubling down on Gestapo speech

Image
When Tim Walz, Minnesota's DFL governor, delivered the commencement address for the University of Minnesota Law school, he didn't deliver the typical commencement speech. He delivered a highly partisan speech instead. Gov. Walz compared "federal law enforcement agents implementing President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown to a Nazi-era political police force." He called ICE agents Gestapo. Let's compare the 2. The Gestapo's mission was to rid Germany of Jews. To the Gestapo, it didn't matter that these Jews were German citizens and had been decades. Thanks to the Aryan Clauses, Jews were considered subhuman and weren't really Germans. That's an awfully racist viewpoint. Is Gov. Walz accusing law enforcement officers of being racists? I.C.E. I.C.E. agents enforce laws that bipartisan majorities in both houses of Congress have passed and that the president has signed. These immigration bills were negotiated between the 2 parties. The Aryan Clau...
