Nancy Pelosi’s embarrassingly political “January 6 commission” is underway as planned. (Was there ever any doubt that she wouldn’t go through with this carefully staged farce and take great delight in it?) Her handpicked “commission” purports to “find the truth,” but her search for truth is like looking for your misplaced glasses way over in the corner of another room because the light is better in there. Where she’s looking, she’s guaranteed to miss a big part of the truth, and that is on purpose. But we do get to see Adam Schiff cry.

Those who really want the truth surrounding the Capitol breach –- and Pelosi’s role in letting it happen –- are going to be kept in the dark.

There’s a more personal story, too, that this charade is going to miss. Part of it was reflected in a letter we ran a couple of days ago from retired Army staff sergeant Joe Biggs, a man who was arrested after peaceably entering the Capitol Building and who, after three months, is still being held without bail in a Florida jail in what he describes as extremely poor conditions. Then, yesterday, we received a similar letter from a reader of this newsletter, whose son is also one of those incarcerated, this one in Washington, DC. What this father told us will touch your heart...

Dear Gov. Huckabee:

My son Alan Byerly is in DC Correctional. Did not enter Capitol Building, but had a confrontation with a reporter and policemen. But the charges are much greater [than what] was done. I do not know exactly what happened, because phones being monitored in jail.

Most Jan. 6th folks are somewhere else; there are only two in this jail. When they first arrived, the population (mostly black) thought they were pedophiles, and that is very dangerous, to be one in jail (where did they get that idea?). Anyway, Alan spoke up the next day and told them who they were, and things simmered down, although most were not happy about them being Trump supporters. He has not had a bail hearing in DC yet and expects that bail will be denied.

Greg Kelly on 7/22/21 reported on the mistreatment of Jan. 6 people –- Alan was mentioned in that list of folks he read out. I guess if you are a Democrat, you can burn a city or burn a federal building with agents inside; you may get arrested but will be out the next day without bail.

Sorry I had to vent. Since Alan was saved, he is not the same as he was...What he did was wrong, and he’s sorry for what he did. Thank you for the opportunity to express my frustration. Good bless you and yours.

………………

We looked for the Greg Kelly report and found a write-up on it by THE GATEWAY PUNDIT. Kelly read out the names and showed pictures of all who have been arrested and held in “pretrial detention” without bail. Their trials might not even begin till next year, so these detainees (Kelly’s apt term was “political prisoners”) could be spending 23 hours out of every 24 in a small cell, even denied private conversations with their attorneys, until 2022. Unbelievable.

As Kelly reported, over 500 Americans were arrested, and dozens have spent the past six months in solitary confinement, some of them for simply walking into an unsecured building, unaware that there was violence going on in another area. (Alan apparently didn’t even go inside; we still don’t know the details of his confrontation outside.)

And now, as part of the politics surrounding this “commission,” everyone who even peripherally took part has been labeled a domestic terrorist and white supremacist, though no one was armed and race had nothing to do with it. The crackdown is happening step-by-step; for example, in Florida, the agriculture commissioner, Democrat Nikki Fried, has moved to suspend the concealed-carry licenses of 22 people who were charged in connection to the Capitol breach. In her words, “The deeply disturbing events that occurred at our nation’s Capitol on January 6 were sedition, treason, and domestic terrorism –- and those individuals involved in the insurrection must be held accountable for attempting to subvert our democratic process.”

That’s odd; I thought our democratic process included such basic concepts as “innocent until proven guilty.”

But never mind the Constitution –- this is politics, Fried blamed Trump, and she happens to be one of the top two candidates for the Democrat nomination for Florida governor, trying to unseat Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis. She did this to rally the Democrats...around herself. And since when do Democrats care about the constitutional rights of Trump supporters?

I’ve made my disapproval of what happened at the Capitol crystal clear. It was a stupid stunt that led to the death of an unarmed woman and caused tremendous, lasting political damage to the conservative cause. (That’s true even if the FBI had a role in encouraging it, which is another aspect of this story that won’t be addressed by Pelosi’s “commission.”) The comments by Fried, above, illustrate just how it played right into the hands of Democrats itching to tar Trump and his supporters as insurrectionists.

Whenever possible, even when it doesn’t make sense, Trump support will be linked by Democrats with race and white supremacy. It doesn’t matter that they made it up. Professor of African American Studies at Princeton University Eddie Glaude, Jr., appeared on MSNBC to respond to what he’d heard on Day 1 of Nancy’s “commission,” saying how “moved” he was by the “powerful testimony.” He said that “this is in some ways a white mob arguing for a white nation.”

If you’re mystified as to where he got this idea, I’ll try to explain. Those who are contesting the election process are doing so in black-majority cities such as Detroit, Philadelphia and Atlanta. So if you challenge the results in those places, it means you are against black people. Um, got that?

He says that, given our nation’s history of inequality, a third of America is “still in the soil of our American republic. It has not been excavated in a way to to remove the poison of it.” That’s right, we, as conservative Trump supporters, are poisoned with racism. The only solution: excavation, removal.

“And Donald Trump,” he said, “give Donald Trump credit for one thing. Donald Trump recognized that when he came down the escalator.”

This is all political theater at its worst. Sadly, “detainees” such as Joe and Alan are being used as props. Yes, some of them were confrontational and might deserve to be charged with something, though not held without bail for months on end. Yet all have been branded domestic terrorists and white supremacists when all they might have done was walk peacefully into our nation’s Capitol –- a public building –- take a selfie and ask where the restroom was.

Please pray for Alan’s father, as he watches helplessly while his son is caught in what is obviously a two-tiered justice system.

    SO SAD THAT WE HAVE ALLOWED THIS SCENE TO TAKE PLACE. THEY (PEOSI< BIDEN & CO) HAVE BEEN ALLOWED TO DOWN PLAY 9-11 BECAUSE SEPT. 6 IS MORE IMPORTANT. THE DEATH & DESTRUCTION OF 3500 HUNDRED AMERICAN WAS NOTHING. SICK SICK. FENCE AROUND THE CAPITAL IS SO ILLEGAL (THAT BUILDING BELONGS TO THE PEOPLE NOT THE CROOKS WHO ARE A BUNCH OF HYPOCRITES (SHOULD ALL BE IN PRISON). NEVER RESPECT ANYONE OF THEM- NOT MY PRESIDENT,NOR WILL EVER BE CONSIDERED MY PRESIDENT).

    The democrats were fully behind that run on the capital; they knew they didn't have the police power because they had refunded the police and they were in support of the BLM and antifa people in volved. It was a great way to make it look like Trump and his supporters were the ones behind it.

    And I would like to know why these people are not getting (timely) process of law. Where is the bail? They are American citizens, even terrorists in our prisons got more freedoms. Where is the group that is fighting for them? What is their name? Are the Republicans so afraid? And last but not least, why is 1800 hours of video not showing up; where is the outcry in finding the murderer of Ashley Babbitt and why are we all not banded together to get these folks free?

    Hello Mr. Huckabee,

    I am simply wondering where the ACLU is. Last time I checked it is patently illegal to hold American citizens in custody for alleged crimes without charging them and providing them the opportunity to obtain bail. Where are the lawyers who according to the American Bar Association are trained in ethics.

    Since when does the Vice President of this Country get to step into the Executive and Judicial Branches of our Government and arrange bail for violent felons so they can, "get back out there" and engage in more destruction?

    And yet the current Administration wants to disarm the population so NOBODY, except criminals, can defend themselves and their Family.

    Now we are back to the mask mandates, yet ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS walk into OUR Country, receive a welcome package funded by the taxpayers and actively spread Covid and other diseases with utter impunity.

    Again...where is the ACLU, the NAACP and all the other "non-profit" justice organizations? Where are the legal beagles who clearly know what is taking place in America is in direct violation of our Constitution and numerous Federal laws the very people violating them passed.

    At the rate we are going America is headed to a very bad place. These fools are destroying one of the few countries in the World that many men and women died for so WE could remain free. What is the average citizen supposed to do? I never thought I would see any of this in this Country. Here we are!

    If these fools get their way we will have a "one party system" just like California does. Our form of Government is not designed for a one party system, so WE are headed to a totalitarian regime. Do we stay and fight or bail to another Country or set sail on the Seven Seas? This is wholly outrageous and the only "flicker" of hope I see is the 2022 election. At this point I do not think all the non profit entities who proclaim their mission is to protect American Civil Liberties are going to show up and actually do what they have a "non profit" status for.

    What has happened to America? So tragic the way innocent people are being held without any legal remedy. Whatever happened to the right to a speedy trial? Trump did more for people of color and minorities with lowest unemployment ever and Opportunity Zones in long neglected Democratic run cities. I don't understand some of the testimony I heard. Was it coached? Why aren't more Black people asking BLM what are you doing for me in my community? What about all the Black lives lost to shootings and gang warfare. And now it is getting worse with all the drugs flowing over the Southern border. I believe it was last weekend when 70 people were shot in Chicago and 12 killed. I guess these Black lives don't matter to BLM. There could have been police reform with a bill proposed by Senator Tim Scott, (R), but Kamala Harris and Senator Cory Booker, (D), NJ, both Black and both opposed it for their own people. They didn't want Trump to get the win. So BLM continues to push defund the police. Many Democratic cities have minority mayors & city councils and majority minority police departments. So where is the systemic racism? I believe much of this is funded by George Soros who is the devil incarnate. He has his fingers, money and influence everywhere. I keep asking myself what is in it for him. How much more money and power does he need? I think he will never be satisfied until he sees the USA destroyed if evil can ever be satisfied. To make matters worse, he has several son who can carry on his infamous legacy. We need to pray unceasingly so God can save America.

    "The comments by Fried, above, illustrate just how it played right into the hands of Democrats itching to tar Trump and his supporters as insurrectionists."

    And this is why "SOMEBODY" gave the order to the DC police to let the protestors by, and let them get in. We don't know who, but anyone with a brain that has watched videos can see it.

    I have been astounded every single day of the past several months at what is happening in our beloved country! When I first heard of what was happening in Seattle last summer, I couldn't believe it was real, figured it was rumor. It was real and things have gone downhill steadily and entirely too quickly since then. Even 2 years ago, if I'd had the chance to see the situation now, I would not have believed it possible! Now people who were assembling and protesting in DC are accused of insurrection, treason and arrested, presumed guilty, and thrown into prison without bail for an undetermined length of time. I do not agree with those who broke into the capitol buildings but the vast majority of people were PEACEFUL (not 'mostly peaceful') and this is a total injustice. This is the same as protesters were treated in China and Russia and other communist countries! I am so disgusted!

    we can see the NEW justice under communism and it's ok to loot, burn, rape, murder when you are ordered to by the communist party but don't spit on the side walk if you are a Real American.

    Very troubling times. Never in my 84 years have my husband and I witnessed the breakdown of our freedoms that is happening since Obama and now Biden and the Democrats took over the reign of power. The Republicans stand by wide eyed and it seems unable to do anything!! God have mercy.

    Just a couple of questions about the father of the Capitol Hill detainee :
    First of all why would Black people not support Trump people?
    Because most Black people do but then again these were criminals.
    Also the father says what his son did was wrong. Oh? Getting in the face of Goebbels and Gestapo?
    My father saw combat in Korea and Vietnam and if that'd been me he'd have been cheering not saying I did wrong.
    Mister your son did right and he's a hero and if you don't stand with him shame on you.
