It is widely seen that the U.S. House Select Committee about January 6 is falling flat. See, e.g., Breitbart’s article, ” January 6 Committee’s Third Hearing So Boring NBC Cut to Golf Instead .” (For golf to be more interesting, it’s bad.)
What’s more amazing is that no clue has penetrated the fog of Democrats, establishment Republicans, the news media, or far-left activists about why. Our political class is so out of touch that it could not see this collective yawn coming.
And no, this is not about interviewing that one magic witness. It is the fundamental concept of their entire effort that the American people see through like a windowpane. There are no additional witnesses or documents that can save an enterprise doomed from the start.
First, the Committee is convincing us that this is only a political disagreement. Trump and his leadership team and MAGA voters are “guilty” of having incorrect political views and committing “wrongthink.” (I encourage all to re-read George Orwell’s 1984 . ) The Committee is trying to prove that Trump was just wrong.

We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
