Streets of Philadelphia

Of all the hypocrisy of the "Jan. 6" hearings here is the absolute most astounding.  Keep in mind that Bennie Thompson is the chairman of the Jan. 6 committee:

Bennie Thompson was one of 31 House Democrats to oppose the certification of the results of the 2004 presidential election; President George W. Bush won Ohio, the state the representatives objected to counting, by 118,457 votes. Without Ohio's electoral votes, the election would have been decided by the House of Representatives, with each state having one vote, in accordance with the Twelfth Amendment to the United States Constitution.

What a snooze fest the Dems put on last night.  A long-winded bureaucratic hearing on prime time that revealed nothing new in the midst of numerous disasters unfolding across America.  They did inadvertently raise the only relevant question left to be the answered.  The one question they won't touch.  Why was security that day so inadequate despite advanced warnings?  Was it simply typical Dem incompetence or was it intentional?  We will never know.  Bennie Thompson, the chairman of this circus, is an actual insurrectionist under his own definition.  He refused to certify Bush's win in 2004 as a member of Congress.   Keep in mind that this was not the closer election win in 2000 but 2004 when there was absolutely no question that Bush had won the presidential election.  But Benny rejected the election results and wanted to decide the winner in the House.  Astounding hypocrisy.  He should be ashamed to show his face in this circus.

The stock market is crashing while inflation and gas hit record highs.  But the economy is "strong" according to Old Joe.   He has "created" jobs by closing the economy and then reopening it to allow people to go back to work!  That is what he considers job creation.  Meanwhile the Dems continue to waste time and resources on "Jan. 6".  The media continues to perpetuate the demonstrably false narrative that police officers died that day.  It's incredible that this false story is still being circulated.  Only one person was killed that day.  An unarmed female protestor who was shot and killed at point blank range.

Just when you think America has hit rock bottom and things can only improve, they get even worse under Paw Paw Joe.  What a horrific week for the Dems.  Inflation hit another record high with no end in sight, gas prices are still skyrocketing with no end in sight, the stock market is crashing, an enormous caravan of illegals is heading to the border, the Russians are gaining ground in Ukraine, and the bizarre fixation on "Jan. 6" fell flat.  One of the worst political weeks since the height of the Watergate scandal.  The upcoming mid-term election is going to be a landslide.

[Richard Smith]

Biden's policy in Ukraine is failing miserably (as have all his policies) but only after American taxpayers have footed the bill to the tune of over $50 billion.  Money for which there is no way to know what it is being spent on.  Most of it stolen by corrupt US and Urkanian oligarchs and politicians.  Putin is laughing his backside off at Biden.  The press made a big deal about McDonald's closing all their restaurants in Russia.  What do the Russians do?  They reopen everyone one of them serving the same food under a different name.  Unreal.  American businesses continue to suffer under Biden's incompetency and fake outrage.  If Biden had any interest in solving the record gas prices and inflation that he created, he might begin by making some attempt to resolve the conflict in Ukraine instead of spending money to escalate it. 

[Richard Smith]

It's truly surreal to see the Dems going on and on about "Jan. 6" while America burns.  The stock market is crashing again today taking away the savings of millions while gas prices continue to skyrocket and inflation is at record highs.  Crime is out of control.  Illegal immigrants are pouring across the border unchecked.  There are no proposed solutions to any of these problems coming from the Dems or Old Joe. What exactly are they investigating here?  It is not clear.  Hundreds of Americans were arrested for minor crimes like trespassing on Jan. 6.  A few more serious crimes like assaulting police officers were prosecuted.  The FBI devoted more resources to rounding up trespassers in this situation than any crime in history.  What is left to investigate?  Maybe why security precautions were so inept?  They are not touching that one.  We will never know if it was the result of incompetence or something more sinister.  The only point is some vague attempt to make Trump look bad by rehashing the same facts that have been known for over a year. 

Most importantly why is the Chairman of the "Jan. 6" hearing an insurrectionist under his own definition?  That is incredible.  Bennie Thompson, as a member of Congress, along with 30 other Dems voted against certifying the results of the 2004 election solely because he hated George W. Bush.  There was no question that Bush had win the election but Thompson voted to allow the House to decided that election.  The very thing he believes is an attack on democracy insurrection under Trump.  It's shameful that he can preside over this circus.  But like the fake Russian collusion hoax this show trial in the midst of many legitimate ongoing disasters will rebound on the Dems in the upcoming election. 

[Richard Smith]

The stock market drop today continues a trend that puts the market collapse into another category of Biden disasters.  Biden has no answers.  He is suddenly powerless in his own words after running on his ability and experience.  The typical corrupt politician bait and switch.  Nothing is his fault. 

[Richard Smith]

So much for the "Jan. 6" hearing.  The cat is out of the bag.  It's a complete show trial.  Old Bennie is covering his backside in anticipation of a republican landslide since he knows that he himself is an insurrectionist according to the standard applied by Liz Cheney and others.  He voted against certifying the 2004 election.

"The chairman of the House select committee investigating the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol told reporters Monday that the panel will not make any criminal referral of former President Donald Trump or anyone else to the Justice Department -- a claim that met swift pushback from members of the panel."
