Nancy Pelosi\u2019s Capitol pawns<\/a><\/p>\n

Have we really reached the point where National Guard soldiers in\u00a0their third month<\/a>\u00a0of protecting the Capitol are poisoned with rotten food, worms and metal shavings and no one cares?<\/p>\n

The contempt shown to these soldiers by their Washington, DC, masters is as sickening as the rancid slop they\u2019ve been served.<\/p>\n

Barstool Sports last week was the first to publish\u00a0stomach-churning photos<\/a>\u00a0of raw chicken and beef, moldy bread rolls and rotten fruit, along with firsthand complaints from anonymous soldiers.<\/p>\n

At least 50 soldiers were struck ill with \u201cgastrointestinal complaints\u201d after eating the meals and several required hospital treatment.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not as if the troops are in a hardship posting like Afghanistan. Where is the respect?<\/p>\n

It was bad enough when they were thrown out of the Capitol into\u00a0a freezing garage<\/a>\u00a0in January.<\/p>\n

These soldiers have left jobs and families to protect lawmakers in their nation\u2019s capital, however \u00adpoliticized that duty is.<\/p>\n

Do any lawmakers care about them? Sure a few members of Congress have\u00a0huffed and puffed<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But no one will explain why they still are there, guarding a Capitol walled off by razor wire, other than as human props in a narrative concocted by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the Dems to traduce their political opponents.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

That is the very same Pelosi who slimed federal law enforcement\u00a0as \u201cstorm troopers\u201d<\/a>\u00a0last July when they tried to get control of Portland, Ore., and who vilified then-Attorney\u00a0General Bill Barr<\/a>\u00a0as a \u201cblob\u201d and a \u201chenchman\u201d who \u201cshould be answering for what he did at Lafayette Square, a disgrace.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yes, the\u00a0violent BLM-antifa<\/a>\u00a0riots at Lafayette Square, outside the White House, in late May were\u00a0a disgrace<\/a>. More than 50 \u00adSecret Service officers were injured when they were pelted with bricks, rocks, Molotov cocktails and bottles of urine.<\/p>\n

The historic St. John\u2019s Church across the street from the White House\u00a0was set on fire<\/a>. The night turned so dangerous that then-President Donald Trump had to be rushed to\u00a0an underground bunker<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But that wasn\u2019t the disgrace to which Pelosi was referring. After all, she and the Dems had been condoning\u00a0left-wing violence<\/a>\u00a0all summer.<\/p>\n

No, to Pelosi, the \u201cdisgrace\u201d was when federal law enforcement used pepper balls and smoke canisters\u00a0to clear protesters<\/a>, including her daughter, from Lafayette Square on June 1.<\/p>\n

To Pelosi, the \u201cdisgrace\u201d was that Trump called out\u00a0the National Guard<\/a>\u00a0in June to protect the Lincoln Memorial from rioters.<\/p>\n

She called\u00a0a news conference<\/a>\u00a0to denounce the comparatively light National Guard presence in DC back then as \u201cscary,\u201d and wrote to Trump slamming the\u00a0\u201cmilitarization\u201d<\/a>\u00a0of the capital and demanding to know \u201cby what authority is the National Guard from other states operating in the capital.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hah.<\/p>\n

She kicked up such a stink that, from then on, everyone in Washington and at the Pentagon \u00adbecame ultra-cautious and would resolve to change the way they protected the capital.<\/p>\n

Even ex-generals were caught up in Pelosi\u2019s media-assisted \u00adhyperbole, slamming the clearing of Lafayette Square and likening Trump to a fascist dictator.<\/p>\n

The end result was that, on Jan. 6, when the Capitol was stormed, it was\u00a0woefully underprotected<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We see why from the Senate testimony last week of Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund. He requested National Guard backup before the riot, but was turned down by \u00adPelosi\u2019s House Sergeant-at-Arms\u00a0Paul Irving<\/a>, who was above him in the chain of command.<\/p>\n

Sund testified that Irving was concerned about \u201coptics.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wednesday, DC National Guard chief William Walker bolstered Sund\u2019s account, telling the Senate he faced \u201cunusual\u201d restrictions on the deployment of troops on Jan. 6, because the Pentagon also was concerned about \u201coptics.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a phone call with the Pentagon that day, he and Sund pleaded for troops but \u201cthe army senior leaders did not think it would look good, that it would be a good \u00adoptic. They further stated it could incite the crowd [and] that it would not be their best military advice to have uniformed Guardsmen on the Capitol.\u201d<\/p>\n

As well, Irving has told the House Administration Committee that Pelosi\u2019s office had \u201cpreviously impressed\u201d upon him that the National Guard was to remain off Capitol grounds, according to the Daily Caller.<\/p>\n

The discussions, which also centered around \u201coptics,\u201d allegedly occurred months before the Jan. 6 riot, \u201cduring a time when deployment of federal resources for civil unrest was\u00a0unpopular with Democrats.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

We also know, after Trump said so in his\u00a0CPAC speech Sunday,<\/a>\u00a0that he requested that 10,000 troops be deployed. Christopher Miller, then acting defense secretary, in an interview with Vanity Fair confirmed that Trump personally asked him for 10,000 troops the night before his rally.<\/p>\n

And we know that DC Mayor\u00a0Muriel Bowser<\/a>\u00a0explicitly rejected National Guard troops in a letter on Jan. 5.<\/p>\n

So, really the word \u201coptics\u201d is code for Pelosi\u2019s temper. She had been so affronted by Trump\u2019s demonstration of force in June, in what she considers to be her domain, that she put the fear of God into anyone with any power to \u00addeploy troops.<\/p>\n

Having been instrumental, even if her fingerprints are absent, in the Capitol\u2019s vulnerability that day, she then threw Sund under the bus. Now she oversees the maltreatment of National Guard soldiers, who should be home with their families.<\/p>\n

\u2018Armed\u2019 with fake news<\/h2>\n

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) managed to puncture one poisonous myth about\u00a0the Capitol riot<\/a>, during a Senate hearing Wednesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cHow many firearms were confiscated in the Capitol or on Capitol grounds\u201d Jan. 6, he asked FBI counterterrorism chief Jill Sanborn.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo my knowledge, none,\u201d she replied.<\/p>\n

\u201cNobody has been charged with [having] an\u00a0actual firearm weapon<\/a>\u00a0in the Capitol or on Capitol grounds?\u201d asked Johnson.<\/p>\n

\u201cCorrect,\u201d said Sanborn.<\/p>\n

He pressed on: \u201cHow many shots were fired, that we know of?\u201d<\/p>\n

Sanborn replied: \u201cI believe the only shots that were fired were the ones that resulted in the death of the one lady [Ashli Babbitt, shot by a Capitol officer].\u201d<\/p>\n

So much for the \u201carmed insurrection.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
