RIP, BLM

American Thinker

Because of slavery and Jim Crow and too many movies like The Help, there was a point where I genuinely cared about the plight of black Americans in general.

But these days I’m a little picky. When people say “Black Lives Matter,” I like to ask, which ones? Because Black Lives Matter already pretended “all of them,” and if we’re being honest, it felt a lot like No Lives Matter.

How can you say lives matter, for instance, when you don’t care how they live? And how can you say “people are important” without asking them to take themselves seriously? What we found was that BLM wanted something more than just life: They demanded a total suspension of basic justice. They wanted to suspend the very laws of cause and effect and physics. If there was a crazy demand, they wanted you to just give in. If a criminal was attacking women, they wanted you to just back off. Evidence? No time for that, I’m afraid. If you had a counter-argument, they wanted you to shut up. If you worked harder and did a better job at your job, they just wanted you to lose the promotion. And if you won, they wanted you to hand over the extra money.

No voice — no rights — no self-esteem? Call me crazy, but it sounds as though what Black Lives Matter really needed was slaves.

There were shirts printed all over the country that said “QUIET, A BLACK WOMAN IS SPEAKING,” and they meant it. They said white history is too white, so they wanted a history that’s all black. They said they didn’t want to see your models on TV or billboards or magazines — they wanted their own models on everything instead. Your movies? Last place at the Emmys. Your music? Last place at the Grammys. Was their stuff any good? Didn’t matter, so long as they won anyway.

And let’s not mistake the obvious. They weren’t even fighting to be rid of “white supremacy.” They didn’t give a damn about any other races’ movies or music or safety. This was an unabashed fight for black supremacy. And the people who paid most, in the end, were black people.

This was because, ironically, the movement didn’t really care about all black people. If you were a robber, or a rapist, or any black scoundrel, really — they were there to defend your life. Not so much if you were a black baby. Not so much if you were a black policeman. Not so much if you were a black business-owner, or a soldier, or a good man just minding his business.

If you were killed by a black cop, they’d call it “white supremacy.” If you were killed by a black thug, they’d ignore you. If you burned down a black business, they’d pay for your bail. If your once-successful business burned down, nobody would be coming to save you. There was no such thing, during this period, as an innocent or upstanding black life that mattered. During this period of anarchy and bedlam, the only person who mattered was the person who shouldn’t.

What Black Lives Matter missed is that the only kind of racial supremacy that works — and I don’t mean “is morally right,” but “the kind that actually turns into a livable society,” like modern-day Japan, or Apartheid South Africa, or even the Nation of Islam — is one where, even if you loathe everyone else, you at least have respect for yourselves. And that was the one thing Black Lives Matter lacked. That and an average I.Q. above 75.

Thus, they didn’t want skill. They wanted degrees and diplomas. They didn’t want to build successful businesses. They wanted prestigious seats at the board, and money. They didn’t want good neighborhoods. They wanted “affordable housing.” Worst of all, they didn’t want liberty. They wanted license. That’s because you don’t have to earn or build the latter of any of these. You just have to fight for them. You just have to steal them.

Every single thing they aimed for was the dumber, cheaper, impossible version of some tangible good. Thus, they paid in blood and tears and totally forgot about sweat. They thought you could win without being a winner, and that the big struggle in life is against “the enemy” — that’s people with standards, in case you missed it! — instead of against the worse parts of yourself. In other words, that the hard won, time-consuming, sleepless-night climb from infancy into mastery could be taken from people who earned it and handed to people who didn’t. And even dumber than this, the idea that robbers can keep it.

They were wrong. Boy, were they wrong.

They were so wrong that the first thing that happened when Black Lives Matter “succeeded” was black lives ending. A lot of them. Everywhere black people were in charge most, in fact.

Chicago blew up. Memphis blew up. New York City blew up, and Tulsa, and the Bay Area. Everywhere Black Lives Matter succeeded, everything else failed. The violent crime rate for a short while was a nightmare. Their own businesses, the engine to climb out of the ghetto, were burned down. They defended so many shoplifters that Walmart moved out of some cities and now Democrats are complaining about “food deserts.” The Republicans won the next election in a landslide, and the police are back in popular demand.

The end result is that black lives aren’t safe — overwhelmingly due to other black people. They also aren’t freer. They’re also poorer. And I think the people in Black Lives Matter deserve it.

I only wish they hadn’t dragged so many innocent people — of all colors — down with them.

UPDATE: Texas State President Upholds Firing of Thomas Alter, Sparking Socialist-Led Protest

By Leona Salinas October 15, 2025 | Minding the Campus

Just two weeks after a Hays County judge ordered Texas State University (TXST) to reinstate Associate Professor of History Thomas Alter, the university has terminated him once again.

Alter’s latest dismissal followed a due process hearing on Monday, October 13, during which administrators upheld his original firing over remarks he made at a virtual September 7 conference organized by Socialist Horizon—a self-described revolutionary socialist organization—where he called for the overthrow of the U.S. government.

In a letter to Alter shared by his attorney with local news outlet KVUE, TXST President Kelly Damphousse wrote that Alter’s comments during the virtual September 7 socialist conference “constitute serious professional or personal misconduct that warrant summary dismissal.” Damphousse argued that Alter’s remarks “implicate Texas State, its students and employees and safety on campus during a time when tensions on campuses across the country, including at Texas State, are high.”

Alter continues to insist that his firing is a politically motivated attack on his First Amendment rights. In a statement to KVUE, he wrote that the university’s actions amount to an “attack on democratic rights that are protected by the Texas and United States Constitutions.” He further claimed that his termination was part of “a broader political attack being carried out by the authoritarian far-right to crush democracy.”

On Tuesday morning, members of the Young Democratic Socialists of America (YDSA) at TXST tabled in the Quad in response to Alter’s firing, distributing pamphlets titled “The Firing of Dr. Tom Alter: The Modern Day Red Scare.”

The pamphlets, headlined “Students in Danger,” accused President Damphousse of “aligning his will with fringe internet personalities who publicly embrace fascism” and claimed he “prioritizes the demands of random internet nazis over the safety of students and faculty.” The flyers further asserted that Damphousse “is eager to follow orders from a fascist government.” The pamphlets also read, “Free Speech, Free Gaza, Free Our School.”

Members of the YDSA, whom I approached on the Quad yesterday, told me they had not reserved the space or obtained approval to occupy the Quad for protests, as required by TXST policy. University guidelines mandate that student groups reserve tabling areas at least one week in advance and maintain a registered faculty advisor. In this case, the group’s listed advisor was Thomas Alter himself, raising further questions about whether the organization remains officially recognized and how they were permitted to protest and table. (As president of TXST’s TPUSA chapter, I can confirm that getting approval to table in the Quad is consistently a difficult process.)

Alter attended the protest alongside several non-student supporters, despite restrictions on outside participants joining campus demonstrations without notice.

Protesters chanted continuously, shouting, “Reinstate Alter, Damphousse resign!” while holding signs reading “Reinstate Tom Alter, Defend Free Speech” and “Socialist Horizon SM” (San Marcos), referencing the socialist political organization with which Alter is affiliated.

Members of Socialist Horizon, the group that held the virtual conference where Alter made the remarks leading to his termination, were also present on campus, distributing pamphlets and participating in chants. The group’s participation raises further concerns, as TXST prohibits non-student organizations—especially political groups—from demonstrating or distributing materials on campus without prior notice or registration.

We will continue to track this case and provide updates as developments occur. For more background information on this story, read our former reports here and here.

Kamala 2028!!!

Townhall

Can you feel the excitement? Can you sense something in the air? Kamala is back, and it’s pretty clear that she’s got her sights set on the 2028 Democratic nomination. With her new book and her promotional campaign, she’s out there talking to a wide variety of Democratic sycophants, suck-ups, and toe-slurps in the regime media – but I repeat myself – as she makes her case for a second act. Her case’s theme is that 2024 wasn’t her fault, and she’s not going to make the same mistakes she refuses to take responsibility for again in 2028.

I say, let’s climb onto this runaway train before it leaves the station. All aboard with Kamala Harris as the Democrat nominee in 2028!

Now, you may think, “Hey, fat chance Kamala Harris can beat donkey heavyweights like JB Pritzker,” but don’t underestimate her. Well, it’s actually impossible to underestimate her – our expectations for her were always low, but holy cow. Still, she’s got name recognition. Of course, so do such notable signs of the apocalypse as Dylan Mulvaney, Jay Jones, and, purely coincidentally, the Hawk Tuah Girl. The point is that most Americans know her name, and there’s a certain slice of the population that’s stupid enough to vote for anybody whose name they recognize. Fortunately for her, this demographic is known as “Democrats.”

Now, if you like the old Kamala Harris, you’re not going to be disappointed because there is no new Kamala Harris. This is the same old battered Yugo with a loose alternator belt that we saw sputter out at the side of the road in the 2020 campaign, towed back to the starting line after not so much as being buffed out and washed before being presented for another race.

Her new book, “107 Days,” shows that she not only forgets nothing, but she’s learned nothing. It’s a litany of excuses, equivocations, and distractions, all designed to insulate her from accountability for her disastrous performance after President Eggplant soiled himself on the debate stage – figuratively and perhaps even literally – against Donald Trump.

Of course, I haven’t read the book, but the good parts, such as they apparently are, have already been dissected in the press. When the regime media recoils in disgust at a Democrat’s product, you know it’s bad. This tome is less a memoir than an alibi. According to her ghostwriter, who apparently did her no favors, she was a victim of circumstances, the victim of dark forces conspiring against her, a hapless naïf trapped in a world she never made. But to escape responsibility for what she was ultimately responsible for – the Democrats’ disastrous defeat by President Donald J. Trump – she’s got to slag everybody else. Her staff was incompetent and didn’t prepare her. Journalists were mean to her – imagine a Democrat pretending to be a victim of the regime media with a straight face. Everyone else is to blame, except the person who’s to blame – her.

Her inability to conduct basic retail politics on the campaign trail was legendary, but she was also unable to build and maintain relationships with the people she needed on her side. This hasn’t changed either. Gavin Newsom, her California competition, was apparently the first one to come out and endorse her. He doesn’t get a mention in the book, and he was mad enough to let it be known that when he texted her about the omission (which says plenty about Gavin, but that’s not the point here), she said she was busy on her book tour and would get back to him. She never did. I’m not sure which one of them this little conflict makes look worse, but it brings to mind the meme where the Japanese guy looks at Godzilla battling it out with some other kaiju and says, “Let them fight.” Of course, in this analogy, neither of them would be a cool monster like Godzilla—the Godzilla of American politics is Donald Trump. Instead, they would be lame monsters, with Gavin probably being Mothra and Kamala being that ridiculous flying turtle that breathes fire.

Kamala tries, as she must to maintain appearances, to pretend she’s still loyal to Joe Biden, but it’s clear she correctly believes that the senile old pervert should’ve pulled out long before he did and given her a chance. Now, it’s not clear that a longer exposure to the American people than 107 days would benefit her; that’s about 104 days after guests and fish start to smell. But she seems to feel that way, except she can’t really say it. Democrats are currently dancing around the fact that Crusty Joe completely screwed their party, but no one yet has permission to boldly speak the truth, that Biden’s greed, stupidity, and narcissism, which was enabled by his party’s greed, stupidity, and narcissism, kept him in the race far too long. So, she just hints at it. It’s pretty clear that Biden is bitter about even her mild criticism, although, to be fair, he’s bitter about everything. In an interview with a bizarre transvestite on MSNBC (or whatever it’s called now), she recently talked about calling him after word came out that he had to undergo new treatments for his illness. He let her phone call go to voicemail, hilariously. America is lucky to have dodged a president who engenders so little respect that she gets the “New phone, who dis?” treatment.

But she’s not giving up. She’s bravely sucking up to the Democrat left regardless. Sucking up is her style, after all. It’s her intense flexibility that has always ingratiated her with the people who can help her up the next rung of the ladder. Remember, this is someone who dated Montel Williams. In that same MSNBC interview, she declared that Israel was committing genocide in Gaza. Now, it’s no surprise that her stunted sensibilities would lead her to this morally illiterate conclusion, but it’s still terrifying to think how close she came to the presidency. After all, if you’re one of the two parties’ nominees, you’ve got a shot no matter how ridiculous you are. Think of where we’d be right now with her in the White House. Instead of castrating Iran and allowing Israel to pummel the semi-human barbarians of Hamas, thereby forcing them to submit to peace, things would be totally different. Those hostages would still be there. Iran would be on the way to having a nuke if it hadn’t already tested one. Hezbollah would be plotting its own version of October 7 that would dwarf the original. Israel would be on the verge of annihilation, something that would thrill most Democrats and a few idiotic alleged Republicans.

And we could expect her to abandon Israel if she beats JD Vance in 2028. We could also imagine that the border, which she insisted could never be closed, must be thrown open again. Forget deporting illegal aliens from inside the country; not only would every Third World peasant on Earth be invited in, but she would hand them a stack of cash in a demographic replacement operation that would put Biden’s attempt to reshape the electorate to shame. She would make our military a social pathology Petri dish once again, instead of a focused warfighting force. Forget changing its name back to the tepid Department of Defense; get ready for the Department of Hugging and Pronouns.

And there are a million other terrible things she would do because she’s a rare combination of neo-communist ideology and unbelievable stupidity. This is a woman who’s accomplished nothing except perfect attendance in the jobs she failed upward into and keeping Willie Brown happy as his sidepiece. She’s got no record of achievements and no indication of an original thought. She simply wants to be president, not to do anything but to be president. In that way, she’s like fellow destroyer of California Gavin Newsom, except with worse hair.

Unfortunately, a lot of Democrats despise her. After all, nothing makes you a loser quite like losing. Every time Trump triumphs – and he is triumphing a lot – it reminds them that they had the chance, through Kamala, to put him away, both literally and figuratively, but she just couldn’t get it done.

We should really like to see her run because she is a loser. She’s almost certain to be defeated by JD, and there’s no risk putting our money on her as opposed to a different one because the other Democrats are just as bad. Some are even worse, because they’re smarter and would be more cunning in the way they would execute their communist schemes to destroy our country.

We want a dumb Democrat to run, both because she’s more likely to lose and, if America is being punished for its sins, she’d be less effective should she manage to get elected. That’s why all Americans of goodwill, every American who loves the Flag, each American who wants his country to prosper, should wholeheartedly back Kamala Harris for the 2028 Democrat nomination. After all, she has the best chance of being the Democrats' worst chance.

Tell Democrats to Go Straight to Hell

Townhall

Did you hear the news? A group of young men acted like…young men. STOP ALL THE PRESSES!

The funny thing about politics is, if you are not principled or honest, you often find yourself in situations where you have to act surprised by the obvious and shocked by the normal. “My opponent is hitting me on an issue that makes me look bad and could hurt me with voters. This is beyond the pale,” said a long line of losing candidates.

It’s a desperation found almost exclusively in politics, usually from the side with the most pathetic candidates or policy positions. That just so happens to be where Democrats find themselves these days in the 2025 elections.

The governorships of New Jersey and Virginia are up for grabs, and both races really are up for grabs – polls have them both close and getting closer.

New Jersey has Democrat Mikie Sherrill, a Member of Congress who claims she can’t even remember if she made multimillion-dollar stock trades in recent years. She’s also been outed as a disgraced former cadet at the Naval Academy, having been barred from walking in her own graduation as punishment for her participation in a cheating scandal.

Rather than try to explain exactly what she did, Sherrill is complaining about the information about her sketchy past getting to voters. In a fundraising email, Mikie wrote, “This is a wildly unprecedented — and blatantly illegal — weaponization of the federal government. All part of an effort to ensure that the president’s preferred candidate wins an election. These military records detail my early life, and go so far as to include my Social Security Number and insurance records. There are supposed to be several layers of checks set up to prevent something like this.”

This is like complaining about the violation of your privacy and trust after your wife went through your phone to discover you’ve been exchanging nude pictures with a co-worker –sorry, I don’t really care about the clerical error that released more information than you were comfortable with, I care about the hole in your character you’re desperately trying to distract from.

That’s what you get with Democrats.

In Virginia, the man running for Attorney General, Jay Jones, openly fantasizes about murdering his political opponents and their children, and not a single Democrat calls for him to withdraw from the race. This tells you as much about their character as those text messages tell you about Jay’s.

Meanwhile, a group of early 20s Young Republicans exchanged “offensive messages” in a group chat, and Democrats are trying to equate the two. Having been a man in my early 20s at one point, I can assure you that there is nothing on the planet dumber than that. I can’t speak to how dumb young women may be, but they fall for young men, so they can’t be that bright either.

Democrats, however, would like to equate the deliberate words of a (at that time) former elected official running to be the chief law enforcement officer of his state with a group of young, dumb dudes being young, dumb dudes. If you don’t understand the difference or remember at least some of the dumb things you did, said, or found funny when you were 21 and thank God every day that there is no record of it, then you either led a boring life or never really had close friends.

You’re also a political hack.

It’s time to tell these people to pound sand, to go straight to hell.

The Democrat nominee for governor in Virginia, Abigail Spanberger, is such a feckless “leader” that she can’t even answer a basic question about men in women’s locker rooms. I challenge you to watch this clip and, once it’s done, try to remember the question from the start of it. You know it’s coming, you know the challenge, but Spanberger is so wormy that it is impossible to remember what the hell she was asked about when she’s done.

Tell them all to go to hell. Even if there isn’t an election this November where you are, these races matter. Get involved – you can donate to Republicans or volunteer to make phone calls

from anywhere – because what happens anywhere in this country impacts everywhere in this country.

Marco Rubio Emerges as Trump's Power Player

Secretary of State Marco Rubio appears to be securing a strong place in the hearts and minds of Donald Trump and the president's supporters.

Rubio's stock has surged in the aftermath of Trump's Middle East peace agreement, elevating him as a central player in the president's inner circle and a formidable potential contender to be on the GOP's national ticket, The Hill reported Wednesday.

Trump's lavish praise, delivered at both Israel's Knesset and to world leaders in Egypt, put an exclamation point on Rubio's rise.

"I have a prediction that Marco will go down … as the greatest secretary of State in the history of the United States," Trump said of his former rival in the 2016 Republican primaries.

"Who the hell thought this was going to happen, Marco?"

Rubio played a pivotal role in brokering the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas and securing the release of Israeli hostages after nearly two years in captivity.

In a dramatic moment at the White House, Rubio slipped Trump a note and whispered that a deal was close — foreshadowing the president's trip to Israel and Egypt to formalize the agreement.

"Some serve a lifetime in public office and never experience a day like today," Rubio posted on X after departing the region, adding that the breakthrough "would not have happened without @POTUS doing some pretty extraordinary things."

Rubio's expanding portfolio extends well beyond the Middle East.

The secretary has visited Panama and El Salvador to bolster deportation cooperation, joined early talks with Russia over Ukraine, and has simultaneously filled multiple roles, including interim national security adviser and acting archivist, after Trump fired the previous officeholders.

The breadth of assignments underscores a remarkable evolution from 2016 adversary to trusted troubleshooter.

"When President Trump gives you more things to do, it means he has more trust and confidence in you," said Matt Terrill, Rubio's former 2016 chief of staff, The Hill reported.

Rubio's blend of MAGA appeal and establishment credentials is paying dividends where it matters most to Trump: results.

Politico in reported May that Rubio's stature inside the administration had grown as he aligned himself closely with Trump's agenda, earning enough confidence that the president tapped him as interim national security adviser.

"When I have a problem, I call up Marco. He gets it solved," Trump said during a National Day of Prayer event in the Rose Garden.

Supporters frame Rubio as a flexible operator who delivers results; detractors say he's abandoned prior positions to curry favor with Trump. Either way, his influence has clearly expanded.

The 2028 implications are hard to miss. The Hill notes that Rubio, who will be 57 in 2028, is frequently mentioned alongside Vice President JD Vance as a leading successor — or even a potential ticket-mate.

"It's either Vance–Rubio or Rubio–Vance unless something goes really wrong in the midterms," a source close to the White House told The Hill.

Wrist Slaps For Left-Wing Violence Invite More Attacks On Conservatives

Left-wing violence receives legal cover from judges and political cover from politicians and commentators, sending one very loud message to their militants: Don’t stop.

The Federalist

Two teenagers who brutally assaulted former Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) staffer Edward “Big Balls” Coristine did not receive any jail time in yet another instance of left-wing judges protecting militant thugs from being held accountable in any meaningful way.

D.C. Superior Court Judge Kendra Davis Briggs, a nominee of former President Joe Biden, sentenced two 15-year-olds from Hyattsville, Maryland, to probation after they were arrested for an Aug. 3 attack on 19-year-old Coristine that left him bloody and battered.

The two sentenced to probation — a male and female — were among a “group of 10 guys,” Coristine said, many of whom apparently remain at-large. Coristine suffered a concussion and a broken nose after he and a female companion were jumped by the group.

The slap-on-the-wrist from Briggs comes after another Biden judge gave the would-be assassin of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh a laughably light sentence, citing the assassin’s claim of being a “transgender” woman, despite his being a male.

While prosecutors sought a 30-year sentence for would-be assassin Nicholas Roske (who now says he goes by the name “Sophie”), Maryland U.S. District Judge Deborah Boardman instead gave him eight years.

“Though she got far too close to executing her plans, the fact of the matter is she abandoned them,” Boardman said, using female pronouns to refer to Roske, a male. “I take into consideration the conditions of pre-trial confinement and the fact that she is a transgender woman and will be sent to a male-only [Bureau of Prisons] facility.”

The message from left-wing judges is clear: If you plot or perpetrate violence against conservatives, you will be rewarded with light sentences. The message it sends to would-be leftist terrorists yet to commit their violence is that the criminal justice system has their back. Nothing short of impeachment and removal from office for Boardman is sufficient.

Terrorism is a pillar of the left-wing movement, and their bloodthirsty activists and politicians want more of it. Many on the left justified and even applauded the assassination of Charlie Kirk. They want Americans dead if they disagree with their politics, and they will inspire, import, and protect any terrorist who accomplishes that goal.

The Democrat Party is a domestic terrorist organization. Perhaps no recent example has made that more clear than literally zero elected officials pulling their endorsements of Democrat Virginia attorney general candidate Jay Jones, who tripled down on his fantasy that he could assassinate a Republican colleague and that the Republican colleague’s wife would be forced to watch her children die in her arms.

Despite the fact that Jones is a wannabe family annihilator, his Democrat friends would barely condemn his texts — and some voiced even more support for him. Democrat gubernatorial candidate Abigail Spanberger declined five times to withdraw her endorsement of Jones during one debate alone. A local Democrat Party in Virginia is hosting a “solidarity” event with Jones, headlined by U.S. Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., and Rep. Eugene Vindman, D-Va.

Why would any Democrat pull the endorsement of a man who simply voiced what they all believe?

There is no incentive to do so. In fact, the disincentive is that their foot soldiers might stop committing political violence against their enemies — and why would they stop that when they know the judges they have installed will let the terrorists get away with it?

While left-wing violence is on an upswing, it is not anything new, and institutional support for it has always been there. Virtually no one was held accountable for burning down American cities during the George Floyd riots in 2020, and the rioters who were caught had the monetary and legal backing of people like Kamala Harris and others.

Left-wing terrorists are given legal cover from judges and political cover from politicians and commentators, sending one very loud message to their militants: Don’t stop.

Pelosi Goes Berserk When Cornered With Questions From Reporter About Jan. 6

It seems like former Speaker of the House, Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), is very sensitive when it comes to people questioning her about what happened at the U.S. Capitol on January 6th, 2021.

Pelosi proved that in spades when a reporter for LindellTV, Alison Steinberg, asked her if she was concerned that the new January 6th committee would "find her liable for that day." "Why did you refuse the National Guard on Jan. 6?" Steinberg asked. That's when Pelosi went berserk.

Pelosi snapped at Steinberg, stabbing her finger at her and ranting, "Shut up! I did NOT refuse the National Guard - the president didn't send it. Why are you coming here with Republican talking points as though you're a serious journalist?"

The reporter said, "The American people want to know. We still have questions."

But Pelosi huffed off, leaning on a man's arm for assistance, not offering any further answer to the question.

Looks like Pelosi isn't able to control her emotions anymore. Screaming at a reporter is not a good look, and it tends to make people ask what she's hiding. The reporter smiled at the end as she turned around, realizing she had something good.

LindellTV then posted a replay of Pelosi's comments on the matter on Jan. 6.

"I take responsibility for not having them just prepare for war," she said at the time.

President Trump had inquired before Jan. 6 and offered the National Guard. But the Capitol Police turned it down, as former Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund has said, because they didn't have approval from the Sergeants-at-Arms because of "optics." The then-House Sergeant at Arms, Paul Irving, answered to Pelosi.

Sund said his request wasn't approved for more than an hour on Jan. 6 as the action was happening at the Capitol.

Sund posted on X in response to Pelosi's freakout, laying out the timeline:

Ma'am, let me help refresh your memory. It was your Sergeant at Arms (SAA) who repeatedly denied my multiple requests for National Guard assistance before and on January 6. Even on Jan 6, your Sergeant at Arms denied my urgent requests for over 70 minutes, while he was “running it up the chain” for your approval.
The Pentagon offered National Guard assistance, but I had to decline because your SAA would not grant me the legal authority as required under federal law (2 U.S.C. §1970).

As Steinberg noted, there is a new Jan. 6 committee looking into things. Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-GA) is heading it up.

Perhaps that's why Pelosi is a bit nervous.
