Re: The Shining City Upon a Hill
Project Veritas has been exposed for fraud so many times, I do not think anyone seriously believes what they say.
When times are troubling such as the Jan 6th insurrection at the Capitol Building, people overwhelmingly tune to CNN for factual live reporting.Comment

Re: The Shining City Upon a Hill
A street fighter? maybe she should go to San Fran and fight the TURDS that are piling up in the streets! She only fights with the lid on her Ben and Jerry's quarts of ice cream... and LOSES!
Nancy Pelosi says Capitol rioters would have had a fight on their hands had they caught her: 'I'm pretty tough. I'm a street fighter.'
During the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol, security quickly evacuated House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) when the mob breached the building.
But if security had not gotten her out forthwith and the rioters had reached her, they would have had a fight on their hands, Pelosi told USA Today on Tuesday.The mob that stormed the Capitol while Congress was counting Electoral College votes and formalizing the election of President Joe Biden made it clear that they wanted to find both Pelosi and then-Vice President Mike Pence. Security personnel were able to get Pelosi and Pence to safety as pro-Trump rioters sought to disrupt and stop lawmakers' constitutional duties.
Pelosi, noting she was thankful for security agents who kept her safe as they escorted her from the House floor, told USA Today she would have put up a fight if the mob that reportedly wanted to kill her had been able to get to her.
"That's what they were setting out to do," she said. The paper asked her if that frightened her, and she responded, "Well, I'm pretty tough. I'm a street fighter. They would have had a battle on their hands."
Then she lifted a foot to show the reporter her 4-inch-high stilettos, USA Today said, and added, "I would have had these" to arm herself with.
Pelosi told the paper that the trauma the mob put people through was unforgivable and that many staffers and members of Congress are are still dealing with the aftereffects.
"I was never personally afraid because I had so much security for myself," the speaker said. "I was afraid for everybody else, and I'll never forgive them the trauma that they caused to the staff and the members."
She added, "I do think it will have an impact on how people decide to come to work here or stay to work here."
The riot resulted in at least five deaths, including that of Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick.Comment

Re: The Shining City Upon a Hill
oh so she carries but doesn't want to afford US that same luxury?
That just proves she is a major hypocrite ... I'm sure her bodyguards are armed to the teeth also.
ANOTHER prime example of the " Do as I SAY not as I do " rule of political thumb.Comment

Re: The Shining City Upon a Hill
Obviously you have not been watching the news or maybe Canadian stations like to keep their citizens uninformed. Reported by local news stations. Also from private sources. Those require at least a SECRET security clearance to read so I cannot post them.Comment

Re: The Shining City Upon a Hill
... do you have any reference to that or are you just expressing your own opinion?
Metal detectors are installed so Congress people and Senators can no longer sneak into the legislative chambers with a concealed weapon. I think they can still walk around the Capitol Building hallways with one though.Comment

Re: The Shining City Upon a Hill
that is NOT the point.... every dimwit out there calls for a semi-auto weapons ban.... limited magazine capacity...
but YET they get to own/carry a semi-auto weapon. They get their paycheck from WE THE PEOPLE, but yet they don't want us to be able to own one.
She has gone against the oath of office she took .... hypocrites ONE AND ALL!
legislators like her are the domestic enemies in the USA.. and should be impeached for the way she abuses the power granted to her by her office.Comment
