Pelosi, Democrats need Trump – Jan. 6 commission created for this one reason

Liz Peek Articles

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi recently announced the formation of a select committee to investigate the Jan. 6 “insurrection,” saying she did so with “great solemnity and sadness.” The same kind of solemnity, we presume, with which she launched the impeachment trials of President Trump, along with souvenir pens.

It’s rubbish, of course. Pelosi, D-Calif., can’t wait to get started on yet another excoriation of the former president. Why? Because Pelosi doesn’t just miss Donald J. Trump, she needs Donald J. Trump.

Trump is the glue holding the Democrat Party together; the epoxy that unites the progressive Bernie Bros and moderates like Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W-Va. Trump’s the guy who inspires turnout among Democrats; no Trump, no 81 million votes.

A pro-Biden super PAC just sent out a plea for help, telling supporters that voters are oblivious to the president’s achievements and that Democrats need to “communicate much more aggressively” about his agenda or face serious losses in the midterms. With all due respect to Biden’s agenda, he isn’t Donald J. Trump. With Trump muted, that’s no longer good enough.

It isn’t just Democrat politicians that miss our former president; their partners in the media are dying without Trump. Ratings for CNN and MSNBC have cratered; the audience for CNN’s Jake Tapper has plummeted 75% from January. Tapper can’t wait for Pelosi’s “insurrection” hearings.

The Left’s problem is that Trump is practically invisible today. Liberals applaud Facebook, YouTube and Twitter for taking The Donald off their platforms, and it surely has reduced his impact.

But those social media giants have in fact done Democrats a huge disservice. Instead of railing about Trump’s latest disruptive Tweet, Pelosi and President Joe Biden have to talk about the chaos at the border, or their push to spend even more trillions of dollars, despite the worst inflation in decades. They have to explain why gasoline prices are up more than 30%, or why crime is soaring in Democrat-led cities. They have to tell us why American kids are being brainwashed into thinking that all that matters is the color of their skin.

Democrat leaders like Pelosi and Biden are cowed by a sliver of their party that champions policies most Americans dislike, like open borders, critical race theory and lax voting rules.

Their way is not the American way. Already, after just a few months in control of Congress and the White House, Democrats are playing defense. Biden’s far-Left agenda looks dead in the water thanks to some moderates in Congress whose constituents are alarmed at the prospect of higher taxes, giant budget deficits and immoderate payoffs to Democrat special-interest groups.

What will Democrats sell to voters in 2022?

That’s where Nancy’s commission comes in. She wants to return to the 2020 playbook, in which Trump is the Bogeyman. In particular, she wants to alarm the country that we are at mortal risk from violent extremists – I.e. Trump supporters – of the kind that breached the Capitol on Jan. 6.

She wants to play up the “insurrection” narrative, and has the FBI toiling to back her up. The agency, displaying the kind of fervor conspicuously lacking in dealing with the BLM riots a year ago, has so far hunted down and arrested more than 535 people who approached or crowded into the halls of Congress.

Make no mistake: the attack on the Capitol was horrendous and should never have happened. But Pelosi’s inquiry may raise uncomfortable questions, and could backfire.

For instance, the FBI has pursued charges against several members of the Oath Keepers, which the FBI calls a “loosely connected group of individuals” for “conspiracy and obstruction of an official proceeding.” But a New York Times article reports that the leader of the Oath Keepers, Stewart Rhodes, has spoken voluntarily with the FBI and that “prosecutors overseeing the investigation of Mr. Rhodes have long admitted that they have struggled to make a case against him. His activities seemed to stay within the boundaries of the First Amendment, one official with knowledge of the investigation said.

What if many of the more than 535 fall into the same category?

Also, people may demand to know who shot Ashley Babbitt, an unarmed Trump supporter who was the only person killed that day. With cops being hounded from coast to coast for any questionable use of force, it is outrageous that federal prosecutors determined the killing was justified and declined to press charges, even as they refused to identify the shooter.

Also, why were repeated requests to call in the National Guard ahead of the rally turned down? The former chief of U.S. Capitol Police told the Washington Post that security officials at the House and Senate rebuffed his early entreaties to call in the National Guard. Was Pelosi behind that decision?

How did the FBI, which has been warning for some time about the threat we face from “domestic terrorists,” not see the attack coming? There was apparently ample social media chatter about the gathering; is the FBI politically corrupt and inept?

The hearing could prove a minefield for Pelosi and her fellow Democrats unless the partisan makeup of the commission prevents an honest accounting, which it might. Pelosi, after all, has already written the conclusion, saying the committee’s job will be to explore the “root causes of [the Jan. 6 uprising] – the White supremacy, the anti-Semitism, the Islamophobia, all the rest of it that was so evident.”

If she knows the outcome of the hearings, why bother?

The commission isn’t about uncovering important information about domestic terrorism or about the events of Jan. 6; it is about reviving Donald J. Trump as the enemy and energizing struggling Democrats. From all appearances, they need it.

Don't you know that the global supply chain story is done on purpose for there to be empty shelves at the grocery stores and what not to screw with the public. This is done by the world economic Forum with the likes of Klaus Schwab Bill Gates and George Soros and their ilk

YOU are the delusional personality, dear. Sticking it against the US to please 🖕trump and putin. Disgusting anti American.

Maybe Liz you would support some immigration reform , you bitch about not having enough servers in your entitled selfish world , oh and you are against mask wearing too , how trumpian of you, the pandemic is all a hoax to you , just dont get sick out there might not be any hospital beds for you . The drs and nurses are sick and tired of taking care of anti mask anti vax selfish repubs Go claim your Darwin Award .

Nope

No Trump, No Trump Doctrine

There's a growing rumble, by the minute, from people all over the planet who are suddenly missing Trump's policies, not necessarily Trump.

First, Trump's policies, domestic and foreign, were clear and common-sense driven which is anathema to the Swamp control freaks who thrive on complication and confusion to mask their real agendas and who they're really working for.

Second, the hypocrites who are now lamenting Trump's policies are the same, domestic and foreign, who fought Trump every inch of the way to prevent the implementation of policies that clearly worked.

Third, without Trump the fighter, no Trump policies would have ever seen the light of day.

And without what is now collectively the Trump Doctrine, what clear metric would we have to truly understand the depth and devastation of the Biden/Swamp debacle?

Yes I am

America was NEVER in better shape than when President Trump was in office .. we need him NOW

When the Fed says it finds 2% inflation desirable, it is admitting that it seeks to embezzle HALF of Americans' purchasing power every 35 years, just enough embezzling to not attract too much attention! Phase out the Fed and its DEBT-BASED FIAT system, and restore the CONSTITUTIONAL monetary system based on "gold and silver Coin."

You are a dishonest traitor like Trump. You know Pence and Biden cooperated with the DOJ while Trump lied and hid and shared top secret documents that put American military lives in danger. You should be ashamed of yourself. God sees you and what you are doing.

Stupid doesn't describe Liz Peek well enough. No one knows who you are so whenever you troll your way onto some useless FOX program, you utter absurd TDS infected nonsense. Stay smart Mensa. I will never have you on my radio talk show.

how soon some forget. after herschel loses- PRES TRUMP got these jobs done- cheap gas. no soldier deaths the last 18 months of afghan when he was in office. He cut taxes. the largest in America's history. cut regulations. got us out of the Iran deal. put the american embassy in jerusalem. took it to the terrorists. such as soleimani, and al-baghdadi. built the wall on our southern border on 350 miles of our southern border. REAL MEDIAN household income grew to $68,703 in 2019, an impressive 6.8% increase over 2018. While the overall growth rate was 6.8%, real median income grew by an even greater 7.9% for Black Americans, 7.1% for Hispanic Americans, and 10.6% for Asian Americans. All record highs as were the new income levels for each of these groups. Joe's handlers are heading us to the "misery index" purposely. Did I say cheap gas? Please list for me what Joe's handlers have done for you? be the first to answer my question. LOL

Progressives got hammered on Election Day- but that was only the latest big defeat. What does this mean for Dems? Can Joe pivot? (spoiler-probably not)

Liz Peek: Progressives' drubbing opens door to (unlikely) Biden pivot, changing of the guard

They may not know it yet, but the ultra-liberal cabal that has choked Democrat politics and humiliated spineless party leaders like House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., has lost its mojo.

Joe Biden wanted to be an historic president- and he has done that. Worst ratings slide of any president since WWII.
He (or whoever is running WH) doesn’t care about voters’ top issues – instead Team Biden obsessing about climate change, gender and race.
No wonder he’s in trouble!

Liz Peek: Biden vs. Americans – his priorities, like climate change, ignore top worries of most voters

Voters are worried about inflation, jobs, crime, education and our open border, while the Biden White House is laser-focused on climate change, transgender rights, racism and reducing inequality.

The great days turned to very bad days in less than a year.
Congress needs a flip to GOP next year to stop the craziness

Climate change is important.
The GOP may not care about it now, but their children will.
He is trying to get an infrastructure bill through.
He has had issues with Afghanistan, but what else could he do
The people who are taking over Afghanistan were released by the previous administration.
I am sure that Biden is not perfect but he is better than Trump.

Duuuuuh President Trump lost the election you are such a dummy he got over 95 million the other yo-yo got about 45 million the rest was fake you're a disgrace. Www.magapill.com

worst ratings only from a side thats ignorant to the truth. the effects of coming off a pandemic with oil companies profitting off the pumps in order to pay their shareholders back from profits lost. inflation effects the entire world but of course your base doesnt pull their heads out their asses for one second to look around and use common sense. keep spreading bullshit and weakening our country til it no longer functions as a democracy….bc i see through your fake Christian patriotic pow wows. you are the opposite of ehat you claim and you are the definition of what you claim your rivals are. deflection, projection, hypocrisy. 3 words that sum you up

Your bias is ridiculous. Makes you a bad writer. Btw avg teacher pay is way above 31000. Sensationalize much?
