January 6 – “Insurrection” Part 2

It has been stated more times than I can count by the media and Biden, that Trump led an insurrection on January 6th, 2021. You judge, but please look at the evidence this time…

The January 6th committee has said countless times that Trump did NOT order 10,000 troops to ensure an event like what happened on January 6th. This is 100% true, that Trump did not order troops to descend on Washington D.C. So now what?

Prior to January 6th, Trump “offered” 10,000 to

Chief of Staff Mark Meadows stated that Trump ordered the Secretary of Defense to make available 10,000 National Guardsmen for the City of Washington for January 6th. Acting Secretary of Defense, Mr. Miller then told Trump that the Department of Defense (DoD) was going to provide any number of Guard personnel that Washington officials requested. The then mayor of Washington D.C. on January 5th said they would not request any federal law enforcement – which would include the National Guard.

What happens now, is that the offer for these 10,000 National Guardsmen would then go to the Capitol Police. This offer was turned down by the House Sergeant-at-Arms, Paul Irving turned down the offer. His reasoning was that he was concerned by the “optics” of having National Guard present and didn’t feel that the intelligence supported it.

On CNN live, Trump mentioned that “Crazy” Nancy Pelosi (over the Capitol Police) and the Mayor both turned down his offer. “I offered them soldiers, National Guard, I offered them whatever they want and they turned me down.”

The result from the January 6th committee was, and I quote, “President Trump had authority and responsibility to direct deployment of the National Guard in the District of Columbia, but never gave any order to deploy the National Guard on January 6th or on any other day.”

And so now, for what actually happened.

According to Miller’s testimony, Trump asked during that meeting whether the District of Columbia’s mayor had requested National Guard troops for Jan. 6, the day Congress was to ratify Joe Biden’s presidential election victory.
Trump told Miller to “fill” the request, the former defense secretary testified. Miller said Trump told him: “Do whatever is necessary to protect demonstrators that were executing their constitutionally protected rights.”

1

What’s left out in every piece of new media is that the National Guard were actually nearby. You heard me right. The U.S. Military was deliberately restrained on January 6th from responding to the events of January 6th, because there were fears that there would be a military coup. Smoke and mirrors from the Democratic leadership, Nancy Pelosi and gang. The U.S. Military did show up that day, but only have some of the protestors and a Capitol Police officer died. Only one person was shot by the Capitol Police and that was a 5’2″ 115lb lady who used to serve our military.

Trump has offered Military troops to several states during the BLM protests and all of those were rejected as well. Trump wasn’t going to force the military to overrun cities like Washington D.C. But he offerend them all support. Seems that no Democrat wanted help from Trump even though it would have been the right thing to do and a lot of people died and a lot of business were burned down because of it. If you are going to place blame – do the right thing. Vote for Trump 2024.

Trump’s Tax Cuts Primarily for the Top 1%

So they say, Trump’s Tax Cuts in 2027 were 87% for the benefit of the top 1%?

I heard this the other night and I gave my typical anecdote that I had received benefit by seeing a reduction in taxes as well as some of my friends. I pointed out, we are lower-middle and at the time we were a single-income family. He continued to protest. The conversation dove back into the 80’s with Reagan and his trickle-down economics and there were all kinds of factoids presented. The one source me mentioned was, “I heard it on NPR.” To which I was exacerbated and ended the conversation because the was no fruit.

This morning, as I almost always do, I reflect in conversations that I have to evaluate my thinking. Was I right in saying something? Should I reevaluate my perspective? What are actually the facts of the matter? Was the manner in which I communicated, friendly or even useful? What was I trying to accomplish?

I recognized the guy I was speaking with and I even knew his name. Very pleasant guy and we have had random chit chat conversations in the past. Started with primarily a conversation about interest rates, with him sharing some rates his family had experienced and I with my current house which I had bought within the last year. I’m rather not pleased with interest rates and expressed the resemblance to years long gone by where rates were going up up up. At the writing of this article, in prime real estate it’s high 7’s and even 8 and up, depending on the investment. My friend then said, yeah, we won’t see interest rates low like we did only a couple years ago, for a long time, or something to that effect. But this is where I revealed all my cards in one statement… “I bet if Trump were to be elected again, he would turn the interest rates back down.”. That’s what set the trajectory of our conversation to crap.

My mistake.

Be that at it may. I am still going to go through and evaluate the conversation…

First, I should have tested the waters for political leanings, without something as inflammatory as mentioning Trump’s name. Sets people off in a weird way sometimes. Short answer to myself, be patient and don’t assume that everyone in “small-town USA” is going to support former Republican presidents. Truth be told, I am less fond of some of the former Republican presidents now, than I ever was. But ironically, I voted independent, up until Obama. Fun fact. Also, another fun fact, Trump wasn’t who I voted for in the primaries, leading up to his initial presidency.

Back to how I responded… When my friend told me that NPR was his source, I responded very poorly. I didn’t start calling him names, but I scoffed for sure. That was a big woops moment for me. I owe him an apology for that, to be sure. I did go to shake his hand, to which he looked me in the face and shook my hand as well… But it was not the way I like to end conversations at all. I screwed up.

What was I trying to accomplish? Looking back, and for some odd reason, I just assumed the man I was speaking with would find it, at the very least, mildly humorous or entertaining to suggest that Trump could turn things around with interest rates. Nope. Conversation went tilt, from then on. I will need to address at some point.

Now to the meat of the factoids my friend presented… Beginning with the tax cuts mostly benefitting the tip 1%.

CNN reports (efn_note)https://www.cnn.com/2019/02/26/politics/fact-check-sanders-town-hall-tax-cuts/index.html

 (Su_quote) Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont appeared at a CNN presidential town hall Monday night. After his first question from the audience, Sanders argued that President Donald Trump “said he’d have a tax plan to benefit the middle class, but 83% of the benefits go to the 1%.”

CNN states, (su_quote)Facts First: This isn’t true right now, but if certain tax cuts are not extended it will be the case in 2027, according to the Tax Policy Center.

2027. Ok. So, technically, Trump did Not cut taxes primarily for the rich. But let’s read more from CNN.

The tax reform passed in December 2017 included tax cuts for corporations as well as individuals – but while the benefits for business were permanent, the individual taxpayer cuts will expire by 2027. If Congress does nothing to extend them, the top 1% will at that point receive roughly 83% of the tax cut benefits, according to estimates from the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center.

The same study said that for the 2018 tax year, the top 1% would receive 20.5% of the benefits from the tax cuts.

Why the 10-year timeline? That’s thanks to Senate rules that allow tax cuts to pass with fewer than 60 votes if they won’t increase the deficit in 10 years – a necessity for Republicans to get the tax reform through.

But it’s possible that a future Congress and President would vote to extend Trump’s tax cuts – even if Democrats are in charge. A vast majority of the last major round of tax cuts passed by President George W. Bush were made permanent under President Barack Obama.

Who else was talking about Trump’s Tax Cuts for the 1%?

Simple evaluation is that this was a media and Dem false talking point.

Presidents and Confidential Information

Biden chastised Trump for Trump having Classified documents at his house in Maro Lago.

https://youtu.be/tMuFCdrwJRU

Biden asked by Peter Doocy, “You have Classified material next to your Corvette?” Biden responds, “My Corvette’s in a locked garage, not like it was out in the street.”

https://youtu.be/FXSyIfPpRoE

What do you do with this kind of information? Some will say, well, I like Biden, so it’s ok for him. Others will say they hate Trump, so it’s one standard for one and not for the other. And yet others will perhaps change their tune about Trump on yet another hyped up charge against him. We’ll see.

Kids in Cages – Separated at the Border – or not?

Trump told us in 2020 that the pictures that were shown with “kids in cages” was actually a set of pictures from Obama’s administration. Biden then went on the record to say that Trump was responsible for the splitting up children from their families. Trump however said that it was cartels that were bringing in children and dumping them into the U.S. So, what is actually true? 1

Trump was clear and Biden was clear. But it seems that Trump was a bad man, doing something that no president had done before.

But now, it seems that hindsight it 20/20. Or should I say 20/22.

New York Post is clear – “Mexican drug cartels using kids as decoys in to smuggle its members into US: sheriff” 2

Mexico’s ruthless drug cartels are using helpless children as decoys to smuggle their members into the US — courtesy of the Biden administration’s relaxed immigration policies, law enforcement told The Post.

CNN is reporting it – April of 2021 “Border patrol video shows young children being dropped over 14-foot border fence into the US”3

It’s crystal clear. Trump was telling the truth. Biden was lying. And the “Woke” left believed Biden. So, it’s worse today that it was 2 years ago. Just let that marinate.

Biden and Armageddon

Why is Biden so concerned???

Are we about to be in another War? Biden lowered us from a safe status (DEFCON5) to DEFCON3 – which means “Increase in force readiness.” Which ultimately means, it looks like we could either enter or be part of another un-winnable war.

These are the prior times of DEFCON change:

DEFCON 3: September 11th, 2001: Attack On The Twin Towers
DEFCON 2: January 15th, 1991: The Gulf War
DEFCON 3: August 18th, 1976: Operation Paul Bunyan
DEFCON 3: October 6th, 1973: Yom Kippur War
DEFCON 2: October 22nd, 1962: Cuban Missile Crisis

Seems Biden is concerned about nuclear “Armageddon,” but is he only concerned because he is the one that brought up Russia as a nuclear threat? Maybe Biden is concerned because he said that Putin should be removed from the presidency of Russia?

Our last president, with his brash tone, incendiary remarks and ability to piss people off globally, evidently impacted a grand total of ZERO countries, when it comes to starting a new war – more or less having threat of any kind of Nuclear War. But not even two years in – we are falling apart as a country, in a huge downturn in our economy, we have entered a recession and now we need to be concerned about some type of Nuclear assault? And all before mid-term elections.

Biden’s call for migrants to surge the border

Today, Biden says AND fact checkers are saying, Biden never called migrants to surge the border. Main stream media is re-writing history. But, let’s just see what Joe said.

What I would do as president is several more things, because things have changed. I would in fact make sure that there is, that we immediately surge the border, all those people who are seeking asylum. They deserve to be heard. That’s who we are. 1JOE BIDEN - 2019 Democrat Debate on ABC News
https://youtu.be/A8az7g27p2o

Over a year later and once he became president, this is what he had to say:

Don’t come. Don’t leave your town or city or community.2

What’s the outcome of all this?

Migrants drowning. Migrants dying in the desert. Migrants being raped and murdered by the Mexican Cartels. Joe told them to surge the border and they are. The Mexican Cartels are charging almost every single migrant $1500-$10,000 to cross the border. Then they take some of them to be sex slaves in the U.S. To top that off, some that pay to get across the border THEN are kidnapped and locked up and extorted for more money, being literally held for ransom IN THE UNITED STATES!

First on CNN: A record number of migrants have died crossing the US-Mexico border 3

Did Joe say surge the border? Snopes doesn’t seem to think so.

Some so-called sanctuary cities that were virtue-signaling, “WE WILL TAKE MIGRANTS” are turning them away.

Other sanctuary cities are saying they are at their breaking point.

Humanitarian crisis latest: 50 migrants flown to Martha’s Vineyard4

50 people sent to Martha’s Vineyard, one of the richest places in the United States. They said they welcome all. But evidently, just not into their town. Someone else needs to take care of them. And so all of the illegal immigrants were shipped out of town, to become someone else’s problem.

https://ussanews.com/2022/09/17/not-in-my-backyard-sanctuary-cities-marthas-vineyard-chicago-d-c-total-hypocrites/

Martha’s Vinyard has no room in their town for 50 people?? Is that what they are really saying?

https://usatales.com/8-beautiful-marthas-vineyard-beaches/

Appears the virtue signaling fascists, kicked out the migrants and sent them to a military site.

NYC Mayor Adams says city is at ‘breaking point’ with arrival of migrants sent from Texas 5

You really need to look at the context here. NYC mayor is saying these migrants are from Texas. Not from Texas, from foreign countries that crossed illegally into Texas, because of our president telling them to surge the border. This statement is ridiculous from New York City, when many border towns have more illegal aliens in their town, than they have a population themselves.

El Paso, a Democrat run city, has passed a $2,000,000 budget to send illegal migrants to sanctuary cities.

El Paso looks like a ‘third-world country’ after Texas border city is overrun by migrants 6

Now what Joe?

2019 – there were two specific policies in place.

  • “Remain in Mexico” – for all those who wishes to come across into American legally.
  • There was a Mexican Police/Mexican National Guard presence along the south side of the border, to keep migrants from entering into the United States illegally. 7

Joe overturned it all and now we are dealing with a crisis.

Remember, on September 29, 2020 – During the Presidential Debate between Trump and Biden, Biden complained about Trump’s “Remain in Mexico” was leaving people “sitting in squalor on the other side of the river.”

HOURS after Joe became president on January 20th, 2020 – he suspended the “Remain in Mexico” policy that Trump had put in place. The Supreme Court however overturned his unsigned executive order in 2021, but not before a lot of damage had been done, from Joe’s calling of people to “surge the border” and that he would “let them all in.” The “Remain in Mexico” program — officially known as the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP) program — was reinstated effective Aug. 21, 2021. More than one year after he took office and suspended the policy. 8

Then earlier this year, Joe put “Remain in Mexico” back in place. Then during this summer, the Supreme Court reversed it’s decision and allowed Biden to get rid of “Remain in Mexico.” But remember, Biden right now is telling migrants to stay home. If you missed it, re-watch the second video again. These people are all making up facts as they go along. I’m reporting the news.

Kids in Cages. Everyone lambasted Trump for that. For utilizing Obama’s cages. These weren’t new.

Biden reopened them, and guess what. We now have more kids in cages. 9 Now you don’t see chain link fences. “It’s a lot different. It looks more jail-like.” Go figure.

Here is the June 18, 2014 picture that was attributed to Trump’s cruel and unusual punishment of kids. It wasn’t Trump. It was Obama. You get the picture?

In this June 18, 2014, photo, two young girls watch a World Cup soccer match on a television from their holding area where hundreds of mostly Central American immigrant children are being processed and held at the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Nogales Placement Center in Nogales, Arizona.

The list goes on and on and on. Biden has a plan? Well, where is it? Looks like you have no plan sir.

It’s not about freedom or personal choice – Joe Biden

When do we acknowledge what is happening before our eyes???

Biden’s son involved in global sex trafficking.
Quid Pro Joe does “quid pro quo” with foreign national to get a prosecutor off of his son’s back.
Sleep Joe says, “If you don’t vote for me, you’re not black.” and is given a pass.
Gaffe Joe pays people to stay home and not work, to push the United States into a hyper-inflation situation.
“No Man Left Behind” Biden (or at least only a few hundred or thousand) – abandons BILLIONS of dollars worth of military equipment to FULLY EQUIP THE TALIBAN….

AND NOW… Last night Dictator Joe lets us know…..

It’s not about freedom or personal choice, it’s about protecting yourself and those around you. – Biden – 9/9/2021

– I have to agree with Samuel Adam’s position on Freedom vs. Slavery in light of what No Mo Joe said.
If ye love… servitude better than… freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.― Samuel Adams – one of the founding fathers of our great United States…

#MyBodyMyChoice. #BodilyAutonomy. #FreedomVsSlavery
This isn’t a Right Wing Slandering of the president. It’s not a Fox headline or report. This isn’t NewsMax. This is MSNBC, one of the dolls of the Left Wing media.

Parents of 18,000 Children at the Border Cannot Be Found

Why is this ok? This is CBS News with a video clip of a boy found wandering across the border between Mexico and Texas, so you can be sure there is no right-wing bias. It breaks my heart that children are being abandoned and dumped not only by their families, but by the bands of people they walk with. This makes me sick.  A situation has been created where there are kids that were was abandoned by mom and dad some time ago, or stolen and were left to walk with some group which then abandoned him as well. This kid’s whole goal was to make it into the U.S.  He’s not the only one.

Just prior to the election last year (October 21st, 2020), there were 545 children in U.S. custody where the government couldn’t seem to find their parents.  The news headline said “Parents of 545 Children Separated at the Border Cannot Be Found”

It continued on to say, “A new report shows hundreds of cases in which the deported parents of migrant children who were taken from their families cannot be located.”  New York Times however didn’t seem to have a source for that report.

New York Times said there were 545 kids that were separated from their families that couldn’t find their parents.  No one stopped to ask why, they just said, “migrant children taken from their families.”  Ever wonder why we couldn’t find the families?  The answer will be evident, very quickly.

As of April 6th, 2021, kids are entering into the United States as part of groups, cartels and non-family members at a rate of 492 a day over the last month+.  This surge is staggering and increasing nearly on a daily basis.

https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2021/apr/06/greg-abbott/yes-number-kids-border-patrol-custody-double-2019s/

Let’s put that 492 kids over a 30 day timeframe into a number you can do something with.  That’s over 14,000 children that don’t have parents in this country. Separated, not by the government – but by circumstance.  The problem did exist, but now it’s out of control

As of the end of March – Over 18,000 children were in U.S. custody and the number continues to grow.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/joewalsh/2021/03/26/over-18000-migrant-kids-are-now-in-us-custody-and-the-total-is-growing-every-day/?sh=388d999028b7

Biden’s first week of Executive Orders

This is what is important to Biden.

These are direct quotes from one of the Executive Orders itself.

Process this…

“Section 1.  Policy.  Every person should be treated with respect and dignity and should be able to live without fear, no matter who they are or whom they love.  Children should be able to learn without worrying about whether they will be denied access to the restroom, the locker room, or school sports.”

“In Bostock v. Clayton County, 590 U.S. ___ (2020), the Supreme Court held that Title VII’s prohibition on discrimination “because of . . . sex” covers discrimination on the basis of gender identity and sexual orientation.  Under Bostock‘s reasoning, laws that prohibit sex discrimination — including Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, as amended (20 U.S.C. 1681 et seq.), the Fair Housing Act, as amended (42 U.S.C. 3601 et seq.), and section 412 of the Immigration and Nationality Act, as amended (8 U.S.C. 1522), along with their respective implementing regulations — prohibit discrimination on the basis of gender identity or sexual orientation, so long as the laws do not contain sufficient indications to the contrary.”

Inoculating 100 million people in 100 days – Biden

Biden Promises 100 Million Covid-19 Vaccinations In First 100 Days, Warning That Trump’s Approach Would Take ‘Years’ – Forbes.com – December 29, 2020 1

The article went on to say “President-elect Joe Biden said Tuesday that the Trump Administration’s efforts to vaccinate millions of American people against Covid-19 are falling “far behind” what is needed to control the pandemic, pledging to invoke the Defense Production Act and launch vaccine education campaigns to accelerate the process and deliver 100 million vaccinations in his first 100 days in office.”

This would be huge. I think we need to celebrate Biden right now, because as Biden says, he clearly has a vision that Trump can’t match.

Yesterday on C-Span3, reported by the NYPost.com – Biden was asked, “shouldn’t you set the bar higher, that’s pretty much where we are right now?” So, the question is, if his plan of 100 million people in 100 days was a goal that was set too low.

‘When I announced it, you all said it’s not possible,’ he snapped. ‘Come on, gimme a break, man! It’s a good start.’ – President Joe Biden [enf_note]https://nypost.com/2021/01/21/biden-rebukes-white-house-reporter-for-covid-19-question/[/efn_note]

As of this morning CBS News quoted the following

Fauci said another difference between the two administration’s is Mr. Biden’s commitment to honesty.2

&

Psaki, who served as White House communications director under President Barack Obama and as a spokesperson at the State Department, told reporters during her first briefing on Wednesday that she and Mr. Biden discussed prior to his inauguration the “importance of bringing truth and transparency back to the briefing room.”3

But this is her hypocrisy… when she was called out, that Trump had already delivered on 1 million inoculations a day! Psaki makes excuses. Trump just delivered!

https://youtu.be/PpFCdu4s05w
According to Psaki, the Trump administration was given 36 million vaccine doses and administered a total of about 17 million shots, for a rate of fewer than 500,000 shots a day. ‘What we are proposing is to double that to about 1 million shots per day,’ she said, adding that the Biden team has been forming its plan to achieve this milestone ‘for some time.’4

Less than 500,000 shots a day. In the last month+ if you average across every day, including the first day where a few hundred were inoculated, it averages to 500,000 shots a day. As of December 23, 2020 – only 1 million had been inoculated. 5

Since then, under Trump’s administration, we got up to 1 million inoculations in one day as of last week.

Process this “As of Wednesday, nearly 29.4 million doses had been shipped to all 50 states and all U.S. territories. Of those, just 10.3 million — about 30% — had actually been used, CDC data shows.”6 What this means is that there are 19 days worth of doses to deliver left. Keep that same delivery pattern that Trump was up to and we have your 100 days – 100,000,000 inoculations. Biden’s promise. Trump’s delivery.

Even WebMD.com on January 20, 2021 posted the following article that was titled the following “For Biden, 100 Million Vaccinations in 100 Days Not Easy” and here is a clip of what it said – “Now, during a once-in-a-century pandemic, incoming President Joe Biden has promised to provide 100 million covid-19 vaccinations in his first 100 days in office. ‘This team will help get … at least 100 million covid vaccine shots into the arms of the American people in the first 100 days,” Biden said during a Dec. 8 news conference introducing key members of his health team.’ 7

So – GO BIDEN… Just don’t screw up what President Donald J. Trump delivered on.
