There’s not enough substance in the Commitment to America. It has some nice thoughts and platitudes, but there’s not enough specificity to get excited about it.
“I am not a victim”
This is great.
Happy Yorktown Day
This doesn’t seem like a smart idea
Lying, partisan “fact checkers”, Pelosi and Jan. 6
William posted a comment that allegedly debunks the Republican claim that Pelosi failed to ask for help from the National Guard.
I can understand why William came to this conclusion. The so-called “fact checkers” are misrepresenting the story. (What a surprise.)
The main complaint against Pelosi is that in the days before the Jan. 6 mess, President Trump authorized up to 20,000 National Guard to protect the Capitol. Pelosi and Muriel Bowser declined the offer.
The partisan fact chuckers are saying the complaint is false because Pelosi frantically tried to call in the National Guard after things got out of hand.
This is why we can’t trust the media. They lie, or they use sleazy misrepresentations to distort the story. That’s true even when they call themselves “fact checkers.”

To whatever extent Republicans try to put blame on Pelosi or Bowser for the riot, that’s outrageous and contemptible. The rioters were responsible for the riot, not Pelosi. But Pelosi did not take reasonable precautions.
