In a desperate attempt to breathe life into their brain-dead Party, House Democrats this week began their farcical January 6th investigation.  They had to do something.  They’ve got a corrupt demented imbecile President.  Instead of leading the nation, Old Joe’s being led from appearance to appearance, embarrassing himself and the country at every stop.   Joe’s son Hunter Biden is back in the news, where there’s been actual coverage of his laptop scandal, which was ignored during the election campaign.  The recent attention no doubt stems from Hunter’s latest antics.  I mean, if there are photos of you smoking crack, recordings where you admit to paying kickbacks to a public official (that would be Sleepy Joe, a/k/a “the Big Guy”), evidence of bribes from foreign officials (remember Ukraine anyone?), evidence of illegal gun possession, and you’re still being paid by a Ukranian company to do nothing, it might not be the best time to dabble in the art world.  But being a Democrat means never having to say you’re crooked, so Hunter has embarked on a new career, painting pictures, which he then sells to anonymous buyers for $75,000 to $500,000 apiece.  No, they’re not anonymous to him, the public’s just not allowed to know who’s paying all that money. It’s a fair bet they’re not art aficionados, as a Maryland art professor pegs the true value of the works at no more than $3,000.  Now, a suspicious person might think that, after being caught on tape admitting that he has to split his income with his father, who just happens to be the President of the United States, and because he won’t reveal who’s paying the money, and because the prices are exorbitant, there ought to be an investigation into what looks like a massive payoff scheme.  After all, Democrats leave no stone unturned to ferret out crime –  they just indicted a guy who worked for Trump because he had a company car.  But Hunter has nothing to fear.  Some pigs are more equal than others.  Hunter Biden aside, we have a lagging economy, run-away inflation, a resurgent Wuhan strain, the prospect of new lockdowns, parents fighting critical race theory, a broken Southern border, continual cyber-hacking which has caused Joe Biden to threaten “a real shooting war” with Russia, and a new poll showing voter optimism down 20%.  So this is the perfect time for Democrat Theater of the Absurd, via the House January 6th committee.  This is the committee that we were told was to be bipartisan, and it is, by Democrat standards.  Remember, the Democrat definition of “bipartisan” is “We tell Republicans what to do, and they do it.”  See?  Bipartisan.

There are 13 members on the committee.  The original plan for 7 Democrats and 6 Republicans didn’t work out, so it wound up 11 Democrats and 2 psuedo-Democrats.  Republicans Jim  Jordan and Jim Banks were rejected by Nancy Pelosi because they threatened to investigate the entire January 6th incident, including the failures of Speaker Pelosi.  Nancy had other ideas –

No problem though, Nancy replaced Jordan and Banks with the perfect substitutes, Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger, a couple of RINOs from the Quisling wing of the Republican Party, both of whom voted to impeach Donald Trump.  Don’t you just love a fair trial?  The whole committee is a sad joke.  It’s tasked to investigate an “insurrection” that never took place.  According to actual case law, insurrection means “a violent uprising by a group or movement acting for the specific purpose of overthrowing the constituted government and seizing its powers.  An insurrection occurs where a movement acts to overthrow the constituted government and to take possession of its inherent powers.”  There have been recent examples of insurrection.  In Seattle, violent revolutionaries seized part of the city and set up their own government in the “CHOP” zone.  In Portland, police stations were burned and the federal courthouse was attacked.  Democrats were unconcerned.  None of that sort of thing happened on January 6th.  What happened at the Capitol wasn’t even much of a riot, as measured against the 2020 BLM and Antifa riots, featuring looting, arson an assaults with deadly weapons, which the media told us were “mostly peaceful.”  Crimes were committed on January 6th, to be sure.  There was some trespassing and petty theft.  It’s right that these activities should be prosecuted.  It’s not right that petty criminal suspects have been held in jail for seven months without trial.  None has been charged with insurrection because no insurrection took place.  Try them, fine them, and move on.  But wait, you say there’s a two tiered system of justice, that permits a nation-wide search for and persecution of trespassers, while violent BLM and Antifa criminals go unpunished?  You say it’s unfair that trespassers, none of whom was armed, and who did no violence, are held in solitary confinement, while looters and arsonists who showered police officers with bricks walk free.  You say the only violence perpetrated on January 6th was by an unidentified police officer who shot and killed an unarmed woman?  What are you, a white supremecist?  Really, if you’ve just noticed that Democrats are a bunch of lying, cheating, stealing, hypocritical bastards, then you haven’t been paying attention.  But the January 6th committee is vital.  It’s going to discover what happened, so that it never happens again.  Let me save them the trouble.  When, a week before the incident, the President of the United States warns you that a big crowd of protesters could be trouble, and offers you 10,000 armed troops to make sure the peace will be kept, just say “thank you, send them over.”  When the Chief of the Capitol Police tells Speaker of the House, Polident Princess Pelosi, he didn’t have enough officers on January 6th, after refusing offers of help from the Pentagon and the FBI, maybe that’s what Kamala Harris might call “the root cause” of the problem.  We live in a world run by a schizophrenic Democrat Party.  It opposes pre-trial detention for violent criminals, yet condones the jailing of political protesters it doesn’t like.  It supports laws decriminalizing shoplifting, yet is silent when stores are forced to close, and clerks are fired and even killed for daring to stop thefts.  It hails socialist/Marxist riots as mostly peaceful exercises of First Amendment rights, yet condemns conservative protest as insurrection.  And worst of all, it weaponizes law enforcement to destroy its political opponents. The January 6th committee farce is nothing more than a dishonest attempt by dishonest people to prove you can fool all of the people all of the time.  Just say no.
