Comes now Nancy Pelosi, speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, with yet another boneheaded proposal. The liberal California Democrat wants to create a special commission to analyze and report on the bedlam that erupted at the U.S. Capitol on January 6 as results of the presidential election the previous November were being certified.
It’s the second time in less than three months that Pelosi has called for such a federal investigation, telling her Republican colleagues that “we must agree on the scope, composition and resources necessary to seek and find the truth.” Her first effort was rebuffed.
C’mon, madam Speaker! Don’t you want to spend our hard-earned taxes on initiatives that rise well above the sordid level of witch hunts? We’ve got chaos on our southern border. We’ve got a president who wants to spend us into oblivion, fulfilling his “agenda” with money the federal government doesn’t have (unless the feds fire up the presses in the Bureau of Engraving and Printing). We’ve got good people who lost their jobs with the stroke of an Executive Order pen, and they are suffering.
Jan. 6 is history. The smart money would be on keeping it there.
You, Mrs. Pelosi, and your lapdog media buddies already have been humiliated with the release of the autopsy results on Capitol Police Officer Brian D. Sicknick. He wasn’t killed doing his job on Jan. 6. The medical examiner found that Sicknick died of natural causes – a double stroke he suffered the day after the Jan. 6 melee.
Step out of your cloister there on Capitol Hill and take a deep breath of fresh air, Nancy. Sounds like you need it to clear your head. While you’re at it, take several breaths of fresh air.
After all, you risk becoming roommates with a fellow California liberal, U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters, who once again has shown that she ought to have her own room at the local asylum. Waters most recently rained humiliation on the Democratic party by openly calling for violence if a guilty verdict was not returned against former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin in the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis. Floyd was a high school football standout who lived in poverty and wound up doing a five-year stretch in prison after being convicted of aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon during a home invasion.
Moreover, records show Floyd was no angel, being stopped by police or accused of violating the law at least 19 times in his adult life. He faced various charges, ranging from theft of a firearm and armed robbery to criminal trespassing, pointing a gun at a pregnant woman and being involved in cocaine/white bag/baggie dealing on the street.
And George Floyd is now a super folk hero? Why?
Now the verdict is in. Derek Chauvin, 45, was found guilty on all three felony charges. The New York Times and the Boston Globe trumpeted across the top of their front pages that justice has been served in the death of George Floyd, and now all of us can breathe again. But …
We have canonized a drug-addicted criminal.
We have sent a tough, veteran cop up the river, who’ll likely spend the rest of his life behind bars as a sacrificial lamb to the woke left’s demands.
We — all of us — have no one to blame but ourselves for allowing mob influence, intimidation and hypocrisy to rule the land.
And I — for one — can’t breathe.
Call it insanity on parade
