This is so Very Sad—We are Better than This

And if we’re not, we need to be. The fact that America didn’t have things like this is one of the things that always made me proud to be an American.

Report Suggests Never-Ending Presence of National Guard Troops at the U.S. Capitol – PJ Media

A security review ordered by Speaker Nancy Pelosi and conducted by retired Lt. General Russel Honore in the aftermath of the January 6 attack on the Capitol is recommending that a permanent “Quick Reaction Force” made up possibly of National Guard troops be stationed around the Capitol.

When I go to visit the U.S. Capitol, I don’t want to see massive patrols of armed military in camoflage. This sends totally the wrong message.

The Kabuki Theater At the Capitol Is About to Get Worse, and It Should Anger You – RedState

If one were to go to Washington D.C. today and walk around the Capitol Building, to the extent that you can even get close to it these days, you’d be mistaken for thinking you were in a third-world country. The current fortifications and military presence feel much more apt for an embassy in Baghdad than they do for the center of the U.S. government.

We are now over two months out since the January 6th riot, where the most recent information shows that not a single person was killed with malice or intent except for a woman shot by police. If what occurred was a “coup” attempt or an “insurrection,” it was the worst in human history. Regardless, there have been no credible threats since that day. The hysteria over March 4th turned out to be absolute nonsense, for example.

Despite that, Democrats and the Capitol Police are intent on keeping this Kabuki theater going. Last week, reports came out that the National Guard was being requested to stay another two months. Now, that’s morphing into something more permanent.

This is wrong. And sad. And outrageous.

And I hate the Democrats for making it happen. Every. Single. One. Of. Them.
