Days before the shocking events of January 6, the Pentagon chief expressed concerns about potential violence at the Capitol and offered to deploy the National Guard, says investigative journalist John Solomon.

“The fundamental question is not: did someone see this coming? Because the NYPD, FBI, Pentagon, Capitol Police all believe they saw something bad coming. I think the fundamental question was: why weren’t the resources deployed? And who made that decision?” Solomon says.

In this episode, we sit down with John Solomon, founder of Just the News, to discuss investigations into the January 6 attack on the Capitol as well as soon-to-be-released declassified documents from the Crossfire Hurricane investigation.

“There are few sunny days ahead when the party in power is madly lusting for investigations, is determined to purge its political rivals and their ideas and speech, and isn’t far from establishing a China-style “social credit” system, in which a person’s ability to participate in society is judged by his or her dedication to the ruling class and its directives.”

Joe Biden will be sworn in as America’s 46th president on Wednesday. Far from being the start of an era of reconciliation, it will be an acceleration of the disunity that his party and its media division have whipped up. God, please have mercy on the United States of America.

A few days removed from the 2020 election, Biden warned, as the coronavirus count was nearing 10 million, that the country was “facing a very dark winter.” We don’t disagree. Bleak days are ahead. But we disagree on the reason. This winter, and at least the next two years, are going to be grim as the Democrats, with the eager support of the legacy media, are going to continue to rip the country apart.

Biden less than two weeks ago compared Donald Trump and Republican Sens. Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley to Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels.
A Democratic member of the House is obviously pleased that “that Congress is looking into creating an investigative commission to ‘rein in’ the media,” meaning, of course, the few independent outlets that refuse to operate as the Democratic Party’s marketing department.
The inauguration will be infected by “a climate of fear and loathing” because the Democrats won’t stop feeding the narrative that Trump and his supporters are deplorable insurrectionists.
The bright lights of the media want to know “how are we going to really almost deprogram these people who have signed up for the cult of Trump,” and are agitating for a “cleansing” of the Trump “movement.”
A political analyst from Democratic Party favorite MSNBC says “MAGA terrorists” – largely those on the right with whom he disagrees – are “much more dangerous” than Al Qaeda after 9-11, in part since it “didn’t have cable news channels endorsing its worldview 24/7, spreading its hate-filled ideology and vicious, deluded conspiracy theories to millions of Americans.”
And a cybersecurity expert insists “we’re going to have to figure out the OANN and Newsmax problem,” referring to a pair of cable outlets that are alternatives to the hard-left cheerleading regularly seen on the broadcast networks, CNN, MSNBC, and others.

Song of the Witches: “Double, double toil and trouble”
By William Shakespeare
(from Macbeth)….RSK

Donald Trump’s Presidency ends on Wednesday at noon, as the Constitution stipulates. One question to ponder is who will miss him more—his friends or his foes?

Our guess is the latter. And if you doubt it, consider the chat between Nancy Pelosi and Hillary Clinton Monday on Mrs. Clinton’s “You and Me Both” podcast. They’re addicted to the man.

“I would love to see [Mr. Trump’s] phone records to see whether he was talking to Putin the day that the insurgents invaded our Capitol,” Mrs. Clinton said. The former first lady, who has never accepted the results of the 2016 election, is immune to the irony that in claiming he really won the election President Trump is following her pre-election advice to Joe Biden to “not concede under any circumstance.”

Mrs. Pelosi said during the podcast that she once told Mr. Trump that “with you, Mr. President, all roads lead to Putin.” She added that the Capitol rioters “were doing Putin’s business when they did that at the incitement of an insurrection by the President of the United States.” When Mrs. Clinton asked whether the country needs “a 9/11-type commission to investigate and report everything that they can pull together,” Mrs. Pelosi responded “I do.” Though she says she doesn’t know what it is, she suggested Mr. Putin must have something on him “politically, financially or personally.”

For a glimpse of where the Democrats are headed as President Trump departs the White House, one could do worse than the podcast in which Secretary Hillary Clinton interviews Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Their podcast, called “You and Me Both,” is up on the Web. In it the two Democrats call for the establishment of something like the 9/11 Commission to go after those who mobbed the Capitol on January 6.

Mrs. Clinton jumps right in on this head. “Everyone knows what happened on January 6, when the United States Capitol was attached by a group of seditionist, insurrectionist traitors.” She eventually asks Mrs. Pelosi how she’s been holding up. The speaker says she’s “sad, I’m deeply sad” that the Capitol, “this symbol of democracy being overrun by people who have been incited by a person who’s not speaking truth.”

That’s when Mrs. Pelosi says “We have to take stock of what this is.” Mrs. Clinton calls it an “invasion.” Mrs. Pelosi says “they were out to harm people.” Then comes a digression about how President Trump used the abortion issue to get elected by dog-whistling to the — as Mrs. Pelosi put it — “Evangelicals, the Catholics, and all the rest.” The Speaker also mentions the “greed of those who want their tax cuts.”

Then Mrs. Clinton steers the conversation back to President Trump’s “other agendas.” Says Mrs. Clinton “What they all are, I don’t think we yet know. I hope, historically, we will find out, who[m] he’s beholden to, who pulls his strings. I would love to see his phone records, to see whether he was talking to Putin the day that the insurgents invaded our capital . . .” Then she asks Mrs. Pelos whether we need a “9/11 type” commission.

Is it just me or does it seem like something is about to happen? And I am not just talking about the inauguration of Joe Biden.

I cannot remember the transition after a presidential election seeming so surreal and so tense. For lack of a better term, it seems like the calm before the storm.

Patriotic Americans like you and me watch, enraged that the evidence that an election was stolen and not one institution wanted to be bothered with it. We are wounded but have come to terms that the slimiest saboteurs in this whole disgusting affair are affiliated with the Republican Party who not only betrayed President Donald Trump, but also the 74 million people who voted for him. And to add insult to injury we read, listen or watch news reports about Biden calling for unity for the cameras, yet vilifying these millions of Trump supporters as domestic terrorists, Nazis or white supremacists.

We have witnessed what looks like a full-blown fraud, complete with mass mail-in ballots with few safeguards, feckless politicians and bureaucrats, a social media blackout of President Trump and his supporters, the marginalization of conservatives, and a soul-less news media that long ago surrendered its honor like a harlot.

 In an open letter posted last week to his website, young-adult novelist Barry Lyga called for like-minded colleagues in the industry to join him in blocking the publication of bodies of work written by anyone associated with the outgoing administration in Washington.

Titled “No Book Deal for Traitors,” the letter begins, “We all love book publishing, but we have to be honest—our country is where it is in part because publishing has chased the money and notoriety of some pretty sketchy people, and has granted those same people both the imprimatur of respectability and a lot of money through sweetheart book deals.”

It goes on, “As members of the writing and publishing community of the United States, we affirm that participation in the administration of Donald Trump must be considered a uniquely mitigating criterion for publishing houses when considering book deals.

“Consequently, we believe: No participant in an administration that caged children, performed involuntary surgeries on captive women, and scoffed at science as millions were infected with a deadly virus should be enriched by the almost rote largesse of a big book deal. And no one who incited, suborned, instigated, or otherwise supported the Jan. 6, 2021, coup attempt should have their philosophies remunerated and disseminated through our beloved publishing houses.

The Joe Biden era officially begins Wednesday, and from the looks of it, his much-ballyhooed calls for “unity” are out the window.

Notably, he intends to rejoin the Paris accords on climate change and end President Trump’s ban on travel from several nations that have serious problems with terrorism-promoting extremism. Sources say he’ll also rescind Trump’s approval of the Keystone XL pipeline. All are big symbols for the left — but with potentially big practical impact.

The prez-elect still has time to rethink what looks to be a blanket reversal of every Trump policy. Consider immigration, where Biden has made it clear he’s going to loosen Trump’s restrictions on asylum claims and decrease deportations; he’s even talked of ending the successful cooperation with Mexico to counter the surge at the southern border.

But, lo and behold, caravans are already on the way, with some 8,000 Honduran migrants in Guatemala. How many other crises could come from an ill-considered rush to “trump Trump” on every front? There’s certainly not a lot of common sense in many of those Day One executive orders.
