What the January 6 Committee Might Have Been

To listen to House Democrats' -- and Liz Cheney's and Adam Kinzinger's, but I repeat myself -- shrieks of hysteria from the opening nights of the Jan. 6 House Select Committee dais is to hearken back to the Soviet-era show trials of yesteryear. Vladimir Lenin, as the veteran conservative commentator Roger Kimball reminds us, referred to them as "model trials," wherein the "aim isn't to discover the truth -- which was supposedly already known -- but to stage a propagandist exhibition."
For Democrats, the aim of the Jan. 6 Select Committee's "propagandist exhibition" is twofold:
Democrats have spent decades warning that the United States must stop using the most efficient and affordable energy sources or it will be consumed by heat waves, fireballs and cataclysmic weather events. Every flood, every hurricane -- every natural event, really -- is now blamed on climate change. We have burdened our children with an irrational dread over their future. Then again, many in The Cult of Malthus won't even have children.
So, why, if we're on the precipice of this apocalypse, if saving the planet trumps every other concern, is President Joe Biden begging everyone to drill? On the days Democrats aren't blaming Vladimir Putin for rising gas prices
Sunday, June 19th is Father’s Day in the United States. Father’s Day became an American national holiday in 1972 yet traces its roots back to July 5, 1908 at a church in West Virginia which, according to the history channel.com, sponsored the nation’s first program specifically honoring fathers. The church dedicated its Sunday sermon to the memory of 362 men who had died the previous December in an explosion at the Fairmont Coal Company’s mines in Monongah, West Virginia. Others say it began in 1910 in Seattle, Washington as the West Virginia church celebration of fathers was a one-time event.
Fathers come in all ages, shapes, sizes, ethnicities, religions,
Republicans have apparently taken to heart Napoleon Bonaparte’s famous advice: “Never interrupt your opponent when they’re making a mistake.”
Over the last year and a half, Democrats have implemented a disastrous foreign policy, ruined the economy, and embraced an extremely unpopular “woke” agenda on cultural issues. There’s no doubt that’s enough to give the GOP a big win in 2022. But even so, Republicans will still have to deliver a compelling answer to an important question: What are we for?
While some GOP leaders have tried to ignore the question entirely, Congressman Jim Banks has been busy working to answer it.
Migrant Haitians are drowning in the Atlantic, and it is Americans’ fault, says Reason magazine, a libertarian publication.
“With land-based migration proving difficult, some desperate Haitians are attempting to reach American soil aboard overcrowded ships,” says the June 13 article, which is headlined “America’s Harsh Immigration Restrictions Mean Haitians Drown Trying To Get Here.”
The Reason article continued:
The Miami Herald reports that five boats of undocumented Haitian migrants have reached the Florida Keys since November. While others reach Puerto Rico, most are intercepted in the water—and many drown, undetected. A boat trying to reach the U.S. in May capsized, resulting in the deaths of 11 Haitian women.
Andrew Taake is a 33 year old man from Houston Texas. He was arrested near his home in July 2021, for his alleged involvement on January 6th.
This man was turned into the FBI by a romantic match he met on the popular dating app ‘Bumble’. See screenshots below of his match’s correspondence with the FBI from the Government’s “Statement of Facts” used to indict Taake. His lovely potential date entrapped Taake into talking about January 6th before she turned him over to the Feds by asking “Were you near all the action?” prompting an unsuspecting Taake to send over his whereabouts on the day

In a move that smacked of utter desperation, MSNBC analyst Cornell Belcher urged Democrats to “scare the hell” out of voters by warning them we could “lose” our democracy if Republicans win in the midterms.
Appearing on “Deadline: White House” Wednesday, Belcher responded to failed Democrat candidate Matthew Dowd who suggested that they should fixate on the concept of losing our democracy instead of defending President Joe Biden.
“Campaigns, we got to give them a reason to feel they have skin in the game, that this is important to them, that losing democracy is important to them. And whether or not it be telling women that, you know what, women?
Progressive Democratic Rep. Jamaal Bowman warned of a stark outcome if Republicans take back power in the November midterm elections — one that would “embolden” far-right extremists and white nationalists who he claims “have been pushing” for “civil war.”
During a Saturday interview with MSNBC’s “The Cross Connection with Tiffany Cross,” the Bronx-Westchester member of the congressional “Squad” led by socialist darling Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) claimed Republicans will quickly take action to halt Democratic progress in the investigation into the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, saying the House select committee’s findings would be “completely suppressed.”
Bowman also claimed the GOP would “impeach President Biden as quickly as possible
Luckily, he nailed his landing to a tee.
The pilot of a small plane was forced into an above-par emergency landing this week — safely coming down on a Colorado golf course.
Wild images show the twin-engine Costruzioni Aeronautiche Tecnam P206T parked on the Fox Hollow Golf Course in Lakewood — luckily just off the edge of the green.
The emergency was watched by around 150 kids between ages 8 and 17 who were getting lessons at the time, KDVR said — but with no one getting injured thanks to the unidentified pilot being such an ace.
“This was unusual today, to have a plane go down,”
Dr. Fauci tests positive for COVID-19

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s leading infectious disease expert, tested positive for COVID-19 Wednesday.
Fauci tested positive on a rapid antigen test and was “experiencing mild symptoms,” the National Institutes of Health said in a statement.
The NIH noted that Fauci was fully vaccinated and has received two booster shots.
“Dr. Fauci will isolate and continue to work from his home. He has not recently been in close contact with President Biden or other senior government officials,” the NIH said.
Acting like the obstinate children that they are, woke Disney executives hellbent on destroying the decades’-old corporate brand are now engaging in a crusade to destroy the iconic character of Buzz Lightyear. I have never met anyone that disliked the original, and groundbreaking, 1995 film Toy Story, so naturally Disney wanted to set it on fire.
The gist of the destruction is that woke t*rd of an actor Chris Evans, who never met a propaganda talking point he didn’t like, was recast as the voice “talent” for Buzz in the spin-off series. Evans is an outspoken mouthpiece for the regime whereas Tim Allen has famously stood up for traditional American values.

It’s no secret to anybody paying attention that Joe Biden has an unwholesome obsession with little children, especially little girls. He can’t seem to keep his eyes, his hands, or his nose off them. The Daily Mail has also released text from a diary kept by Ashley Biden, Joe’s drug-addicted, sex-addicted daughter, mentioning inappropriate showers with her father at a young age that may have led to her unhealthy sexual obsessions. Tucker Carlson, upon learning of this, launched an incendiary attack against Biden, the system that’s long protected him from closer scrutiny, and the DOJ and FBI harassing journalists for investigating the story.
With the ascendance of wicked leftist ideology in a nation awash in decadence, crime and perversion where it is acceptable practice to subject small children to transgender strippers doing the bump and grind at drag queen events, some may feel that America has been allowed to drift away from its religious moorings and a new Gallup poll would seem to offer confirmation of that idea.
According to data compiled by the nation’s premier polling organization, belief in God among Americans has dropped to the lowest level since it began asking the question during World War II, a sobering revelation at a time when immorality is viewed as a virtue and
Disney’s upcoming adventure film “Strange World” will feature a gay teen romance—the first in an animated feature produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios. The film, which is scheduled to open on Nov. 23, will follow three generations of a family of explorers and take viewers “to a place of infinite mystery unlike anything you’ve ever seen,” according to a trailer released by the studio earlier this month.(Snip)In one of them, Ethan (Young-White) flirts with a boy named Diazo in front of his friends, who tease him in a friendly way. His father, Searcher Clade (Gyllenhaal), later joins in and embarrasses him in “an overeager show of acceptance,”

Cherlisa Starks-Richardson was disappointed when she learned that the beloved children's museum in her community was selling a "watermelon salad" in celebration of Juneteenth.
Starks-Richardson, who often took her daughter to the Indianapolis Children's Museum growing up, said she expected the museum would be more focused on educating the public about Juneteenth -- which celebrates the emancipation of enslaved Black Americans -- instead of serving themed foods. To make matters worse, she said, watermelon has historically been used as a racist trope against Black Americans.
"People were very offended by it," said Starks-Richardson, an educator in the Indianapolis area. "Everybody is trying to capitalize off Juneteenth to make money.
Van Jones may be a liberal, but when he’s right, he’s right. On Friday, he was right as he delivered a concise and effective critique of the current state of the Democrat Party.
While making one of his regular appearances on CNN, the former Obama administration official explained how Democrats are completely out of touch with the working class, creating a party comprised of tone-deaf elites. But it’s the way he explained things that eventually left the anchors sitting in stunned silence.
Really, the looks on the faces of Brianna Keilar and John Berman are just priceless. (Tweet/Video)
Joe Biden fell off his bike during ride near his Rehoboth Beach home in Delaware Friday, as he and his wife celebrated their 45th wedding anniversary. 'I’m good,' the president reportedly told press who saw him take the tumble, which took place just after 9:30am. Biden told reporters that had trouble removing his shoes from the bikes' pedals, causing the fall. He was pictured sitting on the pavement after incident, caught up in the bike's frame. A reporter for DailyMail.com who witnessed the spill said Biden got back on the bike and sped off at roughly 9:44 am. Biden, 79, took ride with his wife, Jill—surrounded by agents
Lightyear, the latest piece of child grooming media from the predators at the Walt Disney Co., is looking like a box office catastrophe, which is only a surprise to those who don’t live in the real world.
Gee, what do you think will happen when you add some high-profile homosexuality to a kiddie movie? I’ll tell you what happens… The latest chapter of the most iconic and beloved animated franchise of all time not only crash lands with a pathetic $51 to $55 million opening, it comes in second place behind the second weekend of Jurassic World Dominion.
Good job, Disney. Well done. Allow me to caveat that these numbers could still change, but over at the far-left Deadline
Anti-Trump Peggy Noonan is out of control
28 replies
In her June 18/19 column at the Wall Street Journal, Ms. Noonan takes Hillary Clinton's "deplorables" slap at Trump voters and goes one — nay, two better. She refers to voters who question the results of the 2020 presidential election as "kooks, crooks, and freaks" and then smears the citizens who went to Washington, D.C. January 6, 2021 as "[t]hose poor stupid people."
What is the basis for this criticism, which, arguably, is less ad hominem and, more accurately, descriptive of her mindset?
Perhaps Ms. Noonan has not read Margot Cleveland's analysis in The Federalist showing how Georgia election officials failed to enforce the state's election laws in 2020.
Tucker Carlson slated Joe Biden over claims the president shared a shower with his sex addict daughter when she was young - and slammed the FBI for probing a woman who found and sold a diary containing the revelation.
Carlson shared his horror at the detail contained within Ashley Biden's diary on his Fox News show Friday night, branding it 'sick' and 'horrifying' and questioning whether it was child molestation worthy of a visit from police.
He also said the president was effectively using the Feds as his secret police force, after we revealed that Aimee Harris is being investigated over Ashley Biden's journal, which details
Kamala Harris greeted a new shipment of baby formula brought from overseas this week to try and ease the crippling shortage. The vice president and second gentleman, Doug Emhoff, met with aviation workers helping with the formula delivery at Dulles Airport outside Washington, D.C. on Friday. Harris announced that by Father's Day, 13 million eight-ounce bottles will have been brought in by the administration through its 'Operation Fly Formula' airlift.
'This really is about what should be one of the highest purposes for any one of us,' Harris said in a short speech at the airport, 'which is to ensure we are meeting the needs of our children.'
Mayor Eric Adams is giving city workers who were fired for refusing to get the COVID-19 vaccination another shot at getting their jobs back–provided they opt to get jabbed quickly, The Post has learned.
Internal memos delivered Friday to unvaccinated ex-employees told recipients they have an “opportunity to return to employment if [they] become full vaccinated.” The ex-workers have until June 30 to get the first dose and make arrangements for a second dose by August 15. “Once you provide proof of full vaccination (both doses), you will be reinstated to your civil service title at your most recent salary within two weeks of submission of proof
Oberlin College has asked the Ohio Supreme Court to issue an order halting payment of the $36 million a court has awarded Gibson's Bakery while the college appeals rulings by two lower courts. (Snip) The college also accused the Gibsons of trying to prevent Zurich from filing a response.(Snip)"Even if neither the trial court's stay nor the terms of the bond contemplated that the stay would remain in effect pending the 'exhaustion of all of the Defendants' appeals,'" the Ohio Supreme Court "would have the authority to extend the stay and continue the term of the bond to encompass Oberlin's pending appeal," the college argued.

After November, the GOP should completely redo the hearings, but legally and with full disclosure of ALL videos and evidence. And the members of the current scam-mittee should all be subpoenaed first!!
