It was the Wicked Witch of the West.
We hinted at this previously and now the confirmation is now out there.
It is asserted that Nancy Pelosi is not in charge of security of the House but that is highly misleading. Technically the Capitol police are in charge but they cannot do some things of their own. One of them is deploying the National Guard. Sund testified that he requested the National Guard be put on standby but was rebuffed:
Sund, who resigned his post the day after the riot, told The Washington Post he had been concerned that the protest planned for Jan. 6 would be larger than expected. Sund said he asked House and Senate security officials for permission to request that the National Guard be placed on standby.
Sund said House and Senate sergeants at arms told him they were not comfortable with the “optics” of declaring an emergency days before the protest and suggested Sund should informally ask Guard officials to be on alert. Both have since resigned.
Sund said he pleaded for help five more times as the riot unfolded. A crowd of several thousand quickly overran the Capitol Police contingent of 1,400 officers at the scene.
Yesterday Donald Trump confirmed that he offered to deploy 10,000 National Guard troops prior to the Jan. 6 rally.
“Everyone said we’ll be at the rally. It was, I think, the largest crowd that I have ever spoken to before. I have spoken to big crowds, hundreds of thousands of people, more than that, but hundreds of thousands of people.”
In response, Trump said he “gave the number” to the Department of Defense, insisting that 10,000 members of the National Guard would be needed.
“They took that number, from what I understand, they gave it to people at the Capitol, that is controlled by Pelosi, and I heard they rejected it because they didn’t think it would look good,” added Trump in the interview after his Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) speech.
The National Pulse also reports that this confirms an article in Vanity Fair
On the evening of January 5—the night before a white supremacist mob stormed Capitol Hill in a siege that would leave five dead—the acting secretary of defense, Christopher Miller, was at the White House with his chief of staff, Kash Patel. They were meeting with President Trump on “an Iran issue,” Miller told me. But then the conversation switched gears. The president, Miller recalled, asked how many troops the Pentagon planned to turn out the following day. “We’re like, ‘We’re going to provide any National Guard support that the District requests,’” Miller responded. “And [Trump] goes, ‘You’re going to need 10,000 people.’ No, I’m not talking bullshit. He said that. And we’re like, ‘Maybe. But you know, someone’s going to have to ask for it.’” At that point Miller remembered the president telling him, “‘You do what you need to do. You do what you need to do.’ He said, ‘You’re going to need 10,000.’ That’s what he said. Swear to God.”
When Black Lives Matter conducted a protest in June of 2020, the National Guard was deployed.
Soon after the Jan. 6 riots the MFM was all fired up blaming Donald Trump for the lack of the Guard presence
One big difference was that Trump was driving the deployment in June. He was silent on Wednesday, apparently unwilling to set troops on his own supporters. The New York Times reported he resisted calling out the national guard. The deployment was finally ordered by the acting secretary of defence, Christopher Miller.
CNN fed the country a similar falsehood
A federal law enforcement official told CNN that DC National Guard did not anticipate being used to protect federal facilities, and the Trump administration had decided earlier this week that would be the task of civilian law enforcement.
Trump cannot deploy the Guard without it being requested.
One is left to wonder about the real reason for refusing the Guard presence and I stick by my assertion.
It was Pelosi’s hope that there would be rioting which she could then use as the excuse to impeach Trump and try to prevent him from being a political force in the future. I do think McConnell was on board with this as well. If you remember, McConnell said he thought that Trump could face charges. As CPAC approached McConnell suddenly changed his tune, saying he would support Trump were Trump the 2024 nominee.
Do not underestimate Pelosi. There is nothing she would not do to stymie Trump or do to this country for the sake of control. McConnell will sell out to whomever and whatever keeps him in power.

Except for liberals being foolish.
As the vast majority of Americans sit in the electoral wreckage brought on by failed Democrats, we can simply watch as they destroy themselves under the weight of their own lies.
The majority chose, and voted, for Donald Trump. Our temporary Dictator has reminded his “base” of why their Party died a few years ago.
Putting even more people out of work during a pandemic, rigging elections, and aiding our enemies suddenly isn’t easy to hide once that media-induced Trump hatred wore off.
Biden is a historical disgrace, and contrasts starkly with the competence and decisiveness of Trump, even as he was under siege against corrupt paid members of the deep state and the Marxist triad.
Trump’s third win of the WH is all but guaranteed.
When Trump was preparing for the oncoming pandemic, Pelosi decided to encourage the opposite. She recommended partying and congregating. Ignoring all the warnings and simply doing whatever is the opposite of what Trump recommended. Just because.
Then when it was clear that, just as Trump was saying, the pandemic was a real threat, Pelosi wheeled around and began accusing Trump of doing nothing (as she had been doing) and failing. She was completely wrong and people were going to suffer, but all she cared about was exploiting the crisis.
Perhaps the failure to deploy the Guard is the same scenario. Trump recommends deploying 10,000 National Guard troops to secure the Capital and Pelosi’s wrinkled-knee-jerk reaction is to do the exact opposite. Once again, it turns out Trump was right, she was wrong, and disaster ensued. Once again, this drunken hag does a 180 and exploits the results, blaming Trump for blocking the deployment of additional security and causing the riot. Yet, once again, all indications are SHE is the problem
Imagine what impeachment would have looked like if this information were known then? No doubt, that was why it was rushed and, just as certainly, Pelosi would have just focused grouped various accusations to see what sounded worse. These people are lower than shit.
Ok I woukd like a few more details, who got the kickback on the contract.
@Nathan Blue: As the old Russian saying goes, it doesn’t matter who votes, it’s who counts the votes, we’ve seen what happens, especially with a worthless Roberts/SCOTUS and bought and paid for DA’s and Judges.
No you don’t.
From FOX News, March 3, 2021: General testifies about 3-hour delay in getting National Guard to Capitol during riot
Nancy Pelosi isn’t part of the chain of command that was responsible for the 3-hour delay. That is a fact.
@Greg: Who was responsible for them not being there to begin with?
As with previous patriotic gatherings Trump expected BLM and Antifa to assault innocents and had authorized 10K Guard to be used, why were they waiting in busses not on the grounds?
The sight of military people does not inflame those that honor the military, the retarded up is down logic of left is astounding.
Now they keep guard but feed them food that send dozens to the hospital.https://www.frontpagemag.com/point/2021/03/national-guard-troops-dc-hospitalized-fed-worms-daniel-greenfield/
@Greg:
At this point….what difference does it make? A few hundred protestors let in by cops then filmed by antifa isn’t significant.
The Democrat coup, and their lackeys attacking state and federal buildings for over a year, is.
Sadly for Leftists, the army of hillbilly racist white supremacists just don’t exist.
The army of under-worked white idiots ready to abolish voter ID laws so they can buy black people’s votes with amazon gift cards is the real threat to our democracy.
How do they do it in your home country of China, Zhang? More imprisonments for imaginary “insurrections”, or should Dictator Biden just start making people disappear?
Nancy Pelosi IS NOT part of the chain of command that was responsible for the 3-hour delay. As with the Mayor of Washington DC, she DOES NOT have the power or authority to order National Guard personnel into the District.
@Greg:
Then why was Pelosi calling the Joint Chiefs and telling them not to follow any orders from Trump? She controls the Capital. She can call for security. Security was readily available. She WANTED this to happen, just like she WANTED people to run out of aid needed due to government shut downs and she WANTED more people to die from COVID. She is typical of Democrats; SCUM.
@Nathan Blue, #7:
Somebody in particular is responsible for keeping National Guard troops sitting in buses waiting for the order to go while a violent mob stormed the Capitol Building. To attribute that to gross incompetence would be giving them the benefit of the doubt.
Meanwhile, the House session tomorrow has been cancelled and Capitol Police are on high alert because of an intelligence bulletin suggesting a possible militia plot to attack the Capitol Building tomorrow.
That’s a result of not having taken the threat seriously on January 6th, and of still not knowing why the response was delayed once that threat was no longer a matter of speculation.
For all anyone knows, Trump loyalists in the Pentagon deliberately delayed sending the Guard in on the 6th. For all anyone knows, Trump not only incited the mob, but delayed any response through deliberate inaction. He knew what was happening. He could have simply picked up his phone and ordered a response.
@Greg: Democrats incited the riot and they let it happen. All so they could exploit it. Yeah, that’s the kind of scum they are.
@Deplorable Me, #11:
Did you listen to Maj. Gen. William Walker’s testimony today? He had National Guard troops equipped and sitting on buses, waiting for the order to go to the Capital. That authorization didn’t come for over 3 hours. Once Walker had it, his personnel arrived on the scene in only 18 minutes.
Somebody deliberately let that happen. Find out who, and we’ll know who the “scum” actually is.
@Greg: Pelosi. I already told you. You simply have to accept it.
So, you used to pretend Trump calling people names was bad. Now, the idiot Biden has called, not just someone that has personally attacked him, but EVERYONE that has enough sense not to support him “racists”, “terrorists”, “chumps”, and now “Neanderthals”. I suppose, suddenly, this is no longer bad. Right?
@Greg:
Yes. That would be a standard move for un-elected dictators…after staging a false-flag, of course.
China only needed to pay the Marxists in this country to defeat us. Texit is going to move forward, with at least 30 or more states joining. This isn’t a “succession” as much as it’s an ejection of the minority Blue Americans who’ve decided rules and laws are not for them .
They are free to it, but not in my country.
Meanwhile, China can’t make a car or invent anything, but they can certainly buy a Biden…and and election.
Uh huh. But they’ll “take out those insurrectionists” then?
This is what totalitarianism looks like.
Trump had ZERO to do with any “storming” by a few hundred idiots let in by cops, then filmed by antifa. Trump neither did nor said anything wrong.
To say otherwise is idiocy, and baseless.
Meanwhile, we have a half-dead installed dictator apologizing for Chinese genocide.
You know the majority of Americans, according to poll data, believe the sensational and fallacious manufacturing of the capital protest into an insurrection see it just as yet another Democrat dirty trick, right?
Hope you know how to fight, Zhang.
@Deplorable Me, #13:
I don’t have to accept any such bullshit. My mind is my own. Nancy Pelosi was one of the targets of the phony “patriots” who invaded the Capitol Building.
@Nathan Blue:
After the Reichstag fire, the Nazis called it the “Enabling Act” and it gave them sweeping powers in an “emergency” to suppress civil rights. Birds of a feather, apparently. Funny how no one can identify what the threat IS, even though, apparently, the “evidence” comes from public social media.
@Greg:
No, you have every right to be stupid and ignorant. In fact, anything else from you would be surprising.
@Greg:
You sound like a Conservative/Republican/Non-Leftist.
Welcome to fold, brother. Thinking for yourself is all we care about.
Phony insurrection? Now you get it. Go ahead and accept it was a false flag your handlers still want you to harp on to manufacture the idea Repubs/Cons are “revolting”.
The only result of this is at least two Americas, either with a peaceful, or hostile, divorce. Give my regards to your primitive Chinese masters. They can’t innovate and their citizens use gutter oil to cook with, but they definitely know how to use propaganda to oppress a population.
America as we knew it is gone.
