Another fabricated January 6 claim unravels:

Another day, another fabricated Democrat claim about the “Great Insurrection” unravels in public like a cheap suit.

Rep. Liz Cheney claimed that once the violence in the Capitol started, President Trump waited 187 minutes, or over three hours, before saying anything about it. She railed that he “refused to act when action by our president was required, indeed essential, and compelled by his oath to our Constitution.” She called this long delay a “supreme dereliction of duty.”

There’s also another, more accurate, term for it: “fictitious.”

The Federalist compared the timeline of the Capitol violence to the timestamps on Trump’s tweets. The first building was breached around 2:13 to 2:15 p.m. At 2:38 p.m., Trump tweeted, “Please support our Capitol Police and Law Enforcement. They are truly on the side of our Country. Stay peaceful!”

About 30 minutes later, he tweeted, “I am asking for everyone at the U.S. Capitol to remain peaceful. No violence! Remember, WE are the Party of Law & Order — respect the Law and our great men and women in Blue. Thank you!”

At 4:17, he posted a video urging the rioters to go home, which Twitter promptly suppressed because “TRUUUUUUMP!!!”

Cheney’s office did not respond to the Federalist's inquiries about where she got that 187-minute figure. I’m guessing it came from Adam Schiff, who got it off his Rotten Apple watch.

    First, I've wanted to say a dozen times that your beard, really looks GREAT on you!
    To your article: I am a Trump supporter 100%. I consider myself to be UP on most things Trump, but THIS information you have shared IS Totally NEW TO ME.

    This is really upsetting on two levels. It means the Truth is NOT out there, and 2nd, if I didn't know this, I'm betting there are MANY MORE Trump Supporters that don't know it either.

    Please speak this Truth OFTEN!

    If the mainstream media doesn't grab this information and release it to the public, it will not be believed by half of the country. It is time they start to realize they are destroying the country with their silence.

    Johnnie Moore preached at Shadow Mountain Community Church this morning and he referenced Jeremiah 9. Verse 3 sounds like our politicians today! "They make ready their tongue and a bow, to shoot lies; it is not by truth that they triumph in the land. They go from one sin to another; they do not acknowledge me," declares the Lord.

    I enjoy reading your news letters. It is sometimes hard to discern fact from truth; especially from the network news. I sure hope the Republicans gain back the House in 2022. Biden, Harris, Pelosi and Schumer all need impeached.

    Our daughter served in Afghanistan in 2006. She was heartbroken on how we left that country, leaving Americans and interpreters behind. It is good we got out; but not that way. She knew some of those interpreters. When their names and how they were killed came out on her military emails, she cried for days. She explained to us how important the interpreters were and what they did, besides interpreting. Biden/Harris need impeached for that fact alone!!!

    By the way, she went to nursing school on the GI bill and is now an Emergency Room RN in a local Pittsburgh hospital. Covid has been brutal!! Thanks for reading this.

    I am angry, disappointed and disheartened that there is not a louder outcry from conservatives about the left's continuous lies about nearly everything. When will our elected conservatives in Congress fight back? Railing on Fox is not getting the job done. Too many people believe the claims of the radicals, who know they can lie and get away with it. It's such a shame more people are not willing to actually seek out the truth.

    The DNC/Clinton "Russia Collusion" trans imposed to Trump and associates is being proven to be Clinton/DNC/Mostly Socialist Media! President Biden administration seems to support the Russians.

    Now there's "The Trump Insurrection" with supporting actions by Clinton/DNC/MSM. Initiated by Clinton/DNC/MSM with possible ground support by F.B.I.? Seems like a "Socialist supporting insurrection ongoing from the 1950's.

    So why doesn't Trump sue for slander? No one seems to take any action on the outrageous things exposed.

    Mike:

    Any REASONABLE person knows that democrat clerks and poll workers, along with democrat mayors and rich donators / funders (such as Zuckerberg) worked out in the open to use the Pandemic THEY hyped to excuse clear violations on a large scale of state voting laws.

    Any reasonable person knows that on January 6th, as they had attempted at many Trump rallies and on Lafayette Square, they sought to frame Trump supporters are treasonous insurrectionists.

    They achieved massive voter fraud and framing Trump as responsible (at least in the media) for January 6th.

    The question is why, as many conservative commentators pointed out ON JANUARY 6th itself - that Trump offered the National Guard, that Pelosi was responsible for protecting the Capitol building, and she along with the DC Mayor contrived to lure protesters into the Capitol to blame Trump and ensure anyone who was to vote NOT to certify certain state election results - would back down and indeed certify the election, - why did so many Republicans, the Supreme Court and many State Supreme Courts clearly make unconstitutional statements and decisions?

    Who is protecting who from what here? - and continue to do so. If anyone dare to verbalize or write what is obvious, they are crucified as conspiracy theorists and dangers to the completely opaque term of "Democracy".

    Even in the travesty of the context of the Russi Hoax and attacks on Trump administrations folks like General Flynn, the media and Democrats have continued their war against Trump by moving on from impeachment to January 6th to squelch the reality of the election.

    Major elected officials and judges, including prominent republicans, continue to allow the charade to continue - including the POW camp incarcerations of January 6th protesters - deemed insurrectionists. Even the - officals supposedly outraged over this as with the boarder - simply say words and DO NOTHING. Millions of illegals, illegal incarcerations and a stolen election.

    everything Trump did and said was impeachable - nothing Obama and now Biden do/did or say is tangibly challenged - just words are spoken. With Trump - actions were taken by Democrats; and they continue to do so.

    How can the answer be "win the next election? That was the EXACT situation when Trump was elected for two years. What happened? How can any reasonable person expect that something will happen other than the continuation of Democrat controlled deep state war against republicans even if republicans win the next election?

    We have a President now that has never been successful in the private sector and has virtually spent his entire career making himself rich - VERY RICH off of his political offices - and yet it was Trump who was unethical and a cheater?

    The world has turned upside down for non-establishment conservatives - the surrender at Yorktown WILL happen for non-establishment ethical and religious conservatives regadless of the next election. It is inevitable unless our leaders make tangible sacrifices.

    Protest, be censured or whatever - even impeached, but people in the house and senate need to call out Pelosi, the courts and people like Adam Schiff out on a daily basis. They need to say the same things Pelosi, Schiff, Nagler and Schumer say - threaten the supreme court, call their colleagues bold face liars on the floor of the house and senate - every day.

    Anything Trump said was a conflict with the Justic Department and "Democracy"; now we have Biden being covered by a self-acting radical liberal activist, Garland - and nothing happens.

    Please come out and say it - certain players hate Trump; hate outsiders - and they feel suppressing Trump's voters and Trump supporters is saving the republic - from John Roberts to Ben Sasse.
    CALL THEM OUT!
