Buffoonery Abounds as Adam Schiff Accidentally Proves GOP Right About Focus of Capitol Riots Committee
While the Democrat argument is that Republicans are supposedly afraid of the truth, the GOP’s argument is that it is unnecessary to add a “commission” on top of the DOJ investigation as well as the other numerous inevitable Democrat-run committee “investigations” into the attack, which they feel will ultimately be little more than show trials designed not only for Democrats to obfuscate the matter even more so than they’ve already done but also to keep the issue and Trump’s name out there going into the 2022 midterms.
And now, as the House Speaker Pelosi-appointed partisan Capitol riots committee gets to doing their thing, one of its most prominent members has revealed where the areas of focus will be – and in the process proved Republicans were right to reject the idea all along:
[Rep. Adam] Schiff told MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace that it will examine whether Trump and the White House had “advance notice” that the more organized groups had concertedly planned the violent attack for the express purpose of overturning Trump’s loss.
Schiff also said the investigation would inevitably look at the role that some Republicans in Congress might have played in promoting the “Stop the Steal” rally, which led directly to the violence. The probe, Schiff said, might lead to “some of our colleagues.”
Schiff also noted that the committee would seek testimony from police officers who came under violent assault, to illustrate that the attack was an outgrowth of an ongoing “domestic terrorism threat.”
Laughably, the same guy who who knowingly perpetuated the lie about Trump/Russia collusion for the entire four years of Trump’s presidency attempted to assure Wallace during the same interview that Democrats would make every effort to prove to the American people that they were only interested in getting to the bottom of what happened on January 6th:

TONY KATZ: Did Rep. Cori Bush Violate Her Oath of Office?
“Considering Speaker Pelosi’s willingness to excuse the anti-Semitism of fellow Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar, I can only assume that Bush’s comments will not be given a second thought. But they should be.
Americans should note the hate she spews, and the lies she tells.”

From the comments:
“School districts have been issuing students laptops that have cameras on them that can be turned on remotely by School District employees.
If they think that it’s okay for them to observe what’s going on in my home, they can s t f u about me wanting to observe people who I’m paying working in a building that I’m paying for.”
NOW: back to the actual thread topic...........Democrat Part unity..........or lack thereof.

The People Deserve Answers
As I related to WRVA’s Jeff Katz in a recent interview, I have been the beneficiary of much that has been done to eliminate the effects of racism in our state and nation.Sacrifices beyond compare and description were made by those, mostly unnamed, unknown, regardless of race, to promote equality of opportunity and enhance possibilities.
The statewide election this year in Virginia presents questions which require answers from those seeking to lead.
Two years ago, Terry McAuliffe called for all three persons occupying the offices of Governor, Lt. Governor, and Atty. General to resign.
Governor Northam had been shown pictured in his school’s yearbook in “blackface” and subsequent revelations by A.G. Mark Herring acknowledged appearing in “blackface” in 1985.
The media ran the story of two women accusing Lt. Gov. Fairfax of sexual assault, denied by Fairfax, but former Governor, McAuliffe, within minutes thereafter, proclaimed the accusations to be credible.
Today, McAuliffe is asking people to vote for that A.G. who served as his attorney general, and seeks the continuing support of Northam.
No reasons have been given to the voters as to Terry’s change of mind.
Nor has any reason been made why McAuliffe felt compelled to violate Virginia’s long standing precedent by choosing to run again, against persons who had far more experience than he, as he had never held elected office of any kind when he ran.
All of the candidates he opposed except one, were Black, including two women, whom he felt not qualified to be given the chance that he had been given.
At last report, Northam has withdrawn his apology for “blackface.”
Is what Northam and Herring did…alright by any standard?
Is McAuliffe going to tell the voters of the “credible” evidence that he has relative to Fairfax?
Or does this suggest that if you’re a Black person in Virginia, if you’ve got to think about who you are going to vote for then “you ain’t Black.”
Stay tuned.

There was a time where opposing illiberal indoctrination of children was a universal principle on the right. At least, it was when there was no chance of actually succeeding in stopping it. Now that it appears conservatives may have actually gotten the drop on a major cultural issue, the establishment class is working against the very outcomes they once claimed to desire.
That came to a head yesterday when David French and several other ostensibly right-leaning minds rushed to The New York Times to pen a rebuke of figures like Gov. Ron DeSantis who have dared to use the state legislative process to eradicate CRT from school curriculums. Instead, the suggestion was that parents should simply sue if they encounter a problem. You know, because parents have hundreds of thousands of dollars and years of their life to spend in court in the hopes of receiving a narrow victory that won’t even be relevant by the time it arrives. That’s the pure brilliance of Conservative Inc. on display.
Of course, the fact that the Times article in question also completely misread the very laws that were being commented on also represented a problem.
Later, Thomas Williams, who co-authored the piece with French, would claim that it’s authoritarian for parents to affect school curriculums via their elected officials.
The charge to “propose better curriculum” is a purposeful misdirect from the issue. You do not need to propose better curriculum in order to not teach CRT. You simply need to not teach CRT. To do so would be an affirmative decision and one well within the purview of state representatives to be involved in.
As to enforcing civil rights laws, that is perhaps the most beltway take I’ve ever seen. It is asking parents to abdicate their power of representation via elections to instead fight lengthy, expensive, uncertain battles through the court system. It’s an asinine suggestion that is meant to be ineffective while giving the appearance of offering an alternative solution. As I said in my write-up on the Times article yesterday, the losing is the point.
Regardless, getting back to French and other Conservative Inc. thinkers, claiming it is authoritarian to limit the power of government employees and public-sector unions is certainly a take. It’s amazing how malleable principles become when they conflict with the gravy train. There is no logical argument that it is authoritarian for parents via their elected representatives to oversee and check the bureaucratic state, which public schools are part of. In fact, the opposite is true, and until five minutes ago, all conservatives agreed with that notion. Yet, here we are, with some on the right actually making that case. I’m sure it’s just a coincidence they are doing so in the pages of the Times, a far-left newspaper.
Conservative Inc. (like The Lincoln Project) is gasping for air, desperately trying to present themselves as the only principled figures left in the country. The reality is that they are shifting their views far more than those they continually criticize. Their arguments against stopping CRT are conveniently crafted to ensure defeat while also placating their true intended audience, which isn’t conservatives but left-leaning urbanites.
These people have no new ideas and are unwilling to engage on the most important issues.
This is correct. The supposedly most intellectual thinkers on the right were content to sit on the sidelines while CRT overtook schools. They were fine with waiting for it to become so ingrained that it couldn’t be removed. That would have meant more lawsuits and more money for lawyers like French and think tanks that only exist to fight problems they refuse to solve. Now, these grifters are objecting, insisting that conservatives lose yet another major cultural battle, this one dealing with something as serious as the mental health of children.

Critical Race Theory Proponent Ibram X. Kendi to Speak at Teachers’ Union Conference
by Dr. Susan Berry
The American Federation of Teachers (AFT) will feature Critical Race Theory champion Ibram X. Kendi Wednesday during its biennial TEACH (Together Educating America’s Children) professional development conference.Kendi, the author of Antiracist Baby, has received the backing of the Biden Education Department.
In April, Education Secretary Miguel Cardona’s office proposed a rule that called for the development of “culturally responsive teaching” in American History and Civics and held up the widely discredited “1619 Project” as a model for schools to teach these subjects.The rule intends to establish priorities for grants in American History and Civics Education programs that incorporate Critical Race Theory-based curriculam
Largest teachers union says critical race theory is 'reasonable and appropriate' for kids
The National Education Association has contradicted the progressive argument that CRT is too complicated to teach to K-12 students

The Capitol is still locked down, still closed to Americans. One has to ask why.
The Democrats are going to try to use the ‘investigation’ of the three-hour Capitol riot by a select committee to continue an effort to connect Republicans to the event and bash them going into 2022.
All that is troubling.
But now there’s something that perhaps is even more troubling because of the clear potential for abuse.
According to the New York Times, the U.S. Capitol Police have announced they are now planning to expand operations outside Washington “beginning with the opening of field offices in California and Florida” but the plan is to open “several additional regional offices.” Their spokesman says they need to monitor and quickly investigate threats against lawmakers.
The New York Times tries to justify this by saying that Secret Service has field offices elsewhere. But the Secret Service has multiple missions including not just covering protectees like the President or Vice President but also investigations into crimes against the financial infrastructure of the United States. They’re also part of the executive branch and subject to review and FOIA.
The Capitol Police is now basically just saying we’re going to have this huge expansion of this police power without any review or even a vote of Congress. They are completely controlled by Congress (translation: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, at this point). We’ve seen how they respond to a basic question of who killed Ashli Babbitt by simply refusing to answer because they can. How do we think that’s going to work as they fan out and start investigating people across the nation? As we saw in the case of Babbitt, they are also not subject to FOIA.
So basically there’s going to be a police force, controlled by the Democrats, without any ability to demand transparency from it that’s going to investigate “threats” to members of Congress and provide “security” for them.
Who will be determining what a “threat” is and who do you think they will be investigating with this? Three guesses. It wouldn’t be BLM or Antifa which has presented a continuing threat to governmental entities. It’s basically going to be investigating people they think are ‘extremists’ (translation: right-wing in their minds).
Does anyone else see a potential problem here?
