January 6th questions, and an executive branch in chaos.
We have no interest in defending the events of January 6th. They shouldn’t have happened.
But that said: As time goes on — and much like the George Floyd case — the approved narrative we were force-fed grows ever murkier.
First, there was House Speaker Mike Johnson’s release of all the J6 Committee tapes, undeniably demonstrating that many of the “insurrectionists” that day walked calmly into the Capitol building, past Capitol police officers who made no move to interfere.
This writer honestly doesn’t know what to make of that. Were they ordered to stand down? Did the cops understand what was happening? Confounding.
And now there’s this: Why on earth would the full transcripts of the Congressional committee depositions be missing?
The House GOP is trying to get hold of the transcripts. Apparently, they’re MIA.
According to The Washington Times, when asked about the matter Committee Chair Bennie Thompson stated, ““I have no idea… We’re not required to keep certain materials.”
Um, I don’t actually think that’s true. Those transcripts would constitute evidence. The committee used them to refer people for prosecution — among them a certain former President.
And they wonder why we doubt.
Actually — they probably don’t.
You know who definitely doesn’t? Adam Schiff 2.0, otherwise known as Rep. Jamie Raskin. Raskin led the “bipartisan” J6 committee that seems to have “misplaced” the transcripts.
Raskin, who now opines that Donald Trump should be disqualified from state presidential ballots for seeking to block certificaton of the 2020 election… previously sought to block certification of the 2016 election.
(Rep. Jamie Raskin [D-Maryland]. That hair needs a chinstrap).

By now we’ve all heard about SecDef Lloyd Austin going AWOL on us. The real question is, of course, how Joe Biden didn’t even notice — especially since the POTUS daily schedule seems so empty, it has an echo. Click here for a site that tracks the POTUS schedule daily.
As the White House brags about inconsequential crime drops amid a rising number of police shot in the line-of-duty, Dems in Congress still won’t pass The Protect And Serve Act, which would federalize attacking law enforcement. Meanwhile, Kamala touts her launch of the National Law Enforcement Accountability Database. Don’t be fooled about who they side with, folks….
Heads up: Here come Hunter’s contempt-of-Congress hearings….
Um, not for nothing, but SCOTUS just agreed to hear a J6 case appeal that could not only upend all those prosecutions, but also Jack Smith’s “insurrection” case against Trump. Unsure why this hasn’t gained more traction — could be a v. big deal….
The best jarred tomato sauce challenge! But where is Carbone (my vote)?
