First, the GOP were foolish, specifically Kevin McCarthy, for agreeing to put any republicans on the January 6th investigative committee in the first place.  It was, and is, transparently obvious that the intent of Speaker Pelosi’s committee was to establish a political framework for  the 2022 election cycle.  Even Reuters pointed this out when they admitted the intent of the committee was to “complicate Republicans’ efforts to win majority control of the House in the 2022 congressional elections.”

Second, there is good news in this echo-chamber move by Pelosi to reject Republican committee members.  The fact that Nancy Pelosi would block any specific members from participating only speaks to the political intent of the committee’s central purpose.  Democrats have a habit of overplaying their hand; however, Republicans are weak in their ability to call it out with the eloquence and exposure it deserves.

In an extreme power move, Nancy Pelosi rejected Representative Jim Jordan (OH) and Representative Jim Banks (IN) from their appointment to the J6 committee. {Read Pelosi Statement Here}: “Monday evening, the Minority Leader recommended 5 Members to serve on the Select Committee. I have spoken with him this morning about the objections raised about Representatives Jim Banks and Jim Jordan and the impact their appointments may have on the integrity of the investigation”, said Pelosi.

In response to Pelosi rejecting Banks and Jordan, the first time Republican committee leaders have been rejected from a sitting sub-committee, House Leader Kevin McCarthy pulled all of the Republican members. [Video Below]

They are rubbing it in our faces now.  As CTH warned yesterday, this is not hypocrisy – this is the United States Government, Department of Homeland Security, initiating an enhanced and intentional effort to antagonize lawful American people into a place of extreme anger.  This is not hypocrisy.

The Dept of Homeland Security (DHS) is now announcing enhanced travel restrictions for law-abiding Americans, blocking non-essential travel into Mexico and Canada.  Simultaneous to this the same, ironically named, Homeland Security is facilitating a mass influx of illegal entry into the United States.

Stay aware and evaluate this for what it is.  This is an intentional effort to provoke American citizens.  This is Alinsky methods deployed at a federal and institutional level.

Often we see people ask, ‘Why are they so openly admitting to their wrongdoing and still carrying it out’?  Within the answer I have written frequently, ‘They simply do not care’.  It is not a sense of boundless hypocrisy that drives the far-left to showcase their disconnect.  The disconnect is not cognitive dissonance.  The disconnect is purposefully part of the ideological advancement of their goal.

The leftists, the “elites” writ large, are so open in their proclamations of being beyond reach – because they want us to view their power as all encompassing.  They act as rulers and dictators without accountability because that puts the victim, We The People, automatically in a demoralized subservient role.

Perhaps if they spent a little more energy on soccer skills, and a little less energy attempting to be the woke champions of US sport, the outcome may have been different.  Alas, there’s a great number of Americans who shrug because USA women’s national soccer has evolved into a political assembly who happen to play soccer. The team’s egotistical, arrogant, pompous and virtue-signaling attitude is a considerable turn-off.

This is the same team that wears ‘Black Lives Matter’ on their uniforms, and kneels instead of stands for the U.S. national anthem to showcase to the world just how woke they are.  Team Captain Ms. Rapinoe refuses to sing the U.S. national anthem; kneels during ceremonies to make her hatred for America visible; and grabs every microphone to tell the media about her politics in an effort to increase her woke resistance credentials.

Team USA soccer loses in the first round of the Olympics to Sweden.  Meh, it’s a headline because, well, karma or something.

In an effort to keep the Daily Open Thread a little more open topic we are going to start a new daily thread for “Presidential Politics”. Please use this thread to post anything relating to the JoeBama Administration and Presidency.

“This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can’t be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won’t be done. The Founders’ Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.”

“But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.”

~ Mike Vanderboegh

This thread will refresh daily and appear above the Open Discussion Thread.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.

For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

1.) First, please READ THIS ENTIRE THREAD – and the full text of any discussion thread you wish to participate in.

Skipping to the comments to express an opinion without reading the content of the discussion is not helpful.

Often, unfortunately quite often, we find many of the points injected into comments are already outlined in the construct of the thread itself; questions asked while the answers are in the primary post.

2.) STAY ON TOPIC – please do not post something unrelated to the specific matter and content of the thread subject. There is a ALWAYS a daily open thread available for any subject you feel should get attention. Never place unrelated, “O/T”, or “Off Topic” comments on a thread unrelated to the topic. It is not ok to say: “sorry, O/T but”… or any iteration therein, it is actually quite rude.

In a recent podcast segment [Rumble Link Here], Dinesh D’Souza points out the duplicitous motives for the RNC club to be okay losing elections.  In essence, it comes down to politics as a business model, which we have discussed here often.

Ronna McDaniel is the typical GOPe operational head (Michael Steele and Reince Prebius preceeding).  McDaniel loves the cocktail and country club circuit that is essentially a life of indulgence amid the donor class.  As D’Souza notes the business of fundraising, which is the preferred activity of McDaniel, is better from the losing side of the political dynamic.   Not coincidentally, the same financial motives apply to Mitch McConnell in the Senate.

This is worth watching because it is certainly true from a modern historical perspective.  And keep in mind the RNC and DNC are private clubs, private organizations.  There is nothing in the constitutional framework about political parties.  These are private organizations who can make any rule they choose and operate their business in any manner they choose.

A smart move and announcement today from President Trump.  In order to stop the establishment GOP from protecting Liz Cheney with a field of candidates, he will interview them and select one candidate for a MAGA endorsement.  Uniting the vote behind one candidate will stop the 2022 ¹splitter strategy from succeeding.

♦ Cheney is being challenged in Wyoming by three opponents:

“The more he spoke of his honor the faster we counted our spoons”…

Kentucky Senator Dr. Rand Paul confronted the Director of the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Dr. Anthony Fauci, about previous lies to congress when Fauci said the National Institute of Health (NIH) was not funding “gain of function” (weaponization) research in the Wuhan Laboratories.  

The Wuhan Lab is likely the originating source of SARS-CoV-2 virus commonly known as COVID-19.  Current indications are that U.S. funds helped create the virus that has now become a global pandemic killing hundreds-of-thousands.  As a consequence, Anthony Fauci is increasingly becoming the target of scrutiny for his lies, falsehoods and misleading statements as he attempts to slip away from accountability.

In this confrontation, a very nervous and guilt-ridden Fauci attempts to parse terms to avoid admitting he is the man who has killed many.  His nervous, arrogant and combative posture is on display.  WATCH:

Ego-maniacal Fauci previously proclaimed that “any attacks against him” -based on his lies, fraud, deception and manipulation- are “attacks on the very basis of science itself”.

Now that we know the Obama administration was directly involved in the creation of SARS-CoV-2 as a biological weapon that was released from the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China (an accidental or purposeful release still undetermined) {Go Deep}, we have the background to understand why the JoeBama administration has to defend Anthony Fauci.

In 2018 the Department of Justice Office of Inspector General (DOJ-OIG) highlighted numerous FBI officials who accepted bribes from multiple media outlets including: “tickets to sporting events”, “golf outings”, “drinks and meals” as well as exclusive invitations and admission to “nonpublic social events” {Go Deep}.

Today the OIG expanded on the investigation that stemmed from that original outline, and published new findings.  Within the latest two page summary [pdf here], the “senior FBI official” is unnamed; however, prior research indicates it was former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe:

[Source pdf]

It is very frustrating to see that nothing is done to hold these corrupt FBI officials to account for such gross abuses of power and position.  The dual system of justice in the United States is creating a very serious collapse in credibility for multiple institutions of government.

In my opinion, the larger accountability issue is intentionally being handled this way as part of the “fundamental change” objective of the radical group behind the installation of Obama.  This is one continuum, and the lack of accountability is by design in the effort to perpetrate one ever-increasing, intentionally created crisis. The erosion of institutional credibility is a feature, not a flaw.

We are in a very precarious time, and must be careful as we are inundated by the openness of the corruption in the system.  The radicals want a reaction; they want a strong -perhaps violent- reaction; as that plays into their larger objective.   Misplaced anger toward the visibility of the corruption can be weaponized against us.
