Trump responds to Biden attacks in Jan. 6 speech – here’s what he said

 Former President Donald Trump

Former President Donald Trump called President Joe Biden’s speech on the anniversary of the Jan. 6 Capitol storming “political theater” that Biden is using to distract from the fact that he has “completely and totally failed.”

“Biden, who is destroying our Nation with insane policies of open Borders, corrupt Elections, disastrous energy policies, unconstitutional mandates, and devastating school closures, used my name today to try to further divide America,” Trump wrote in an email to American Military News. “This political theater is all just a distraction for the fact Biden has completely and totally failed.”

“Our Country no longer has Borders, has totally and completely lost control of Covid (record numbers!), is no longer Energy Independent, Inflation is rampant, our Military is in chaos, and our exit, or surrender, from Afghanistan was perhaps the most embarrassing day in the long and distinguished history of the United States—and so much more,” he added.

Trump then turned his focus to the Jan. 6 Committee “of totally partisan political hacks” and accused the group of making their judgement on Jan. 6 storming “long ago.” The former president also asked why the committee is “not discussing the rigged Presidential Election of 2020?”

“It’s because they don’t have the answers or justifications for what happened. They got away with something, and it is leading to our Country’s destruction,” Trump wrote. “They want all conversation concerning the Election ‘Canceled.’ Just look at the numbers, they speak for themselves. They are not justifiable, so the complicit media just calls it the Big Lie, when in actuality the Big Lie was the Election itself.”

“The Democrats want to own this day of January 6th so they can stoke fears and divide America,” the 45th president continued. “I say, let them have it because America sees through theirs lies and polarizations.”

In a separate email, Trump said Biden is “working hard to try and deflect the incompetent job he is doing, and has done, on the horrible Afghanistan withdrawal (surrender), the Borders, COVID, Inflation, loss of Energy Independence, and much more.”

“Everything he touches turns to failure. That’s what you get when you have a rigged Election,” Trump concluded.

On Thursday, President Joe Biden repeatedly attacked former President Donald Trump during his speech on the anniversary of the Jan. 6 storming of the Capitol.

Biden characterized the storming as an “armed insurrection” composed of people who were looking to “deny the will of the people” and seeking to “overturn” a “free and fair election.”

 All of you by now know the President invoked the insurrection act. However, few really understand what that means. The following article should help.

Military Blocks Insurgency | The Insurrection Act Is Invoked

Wayne Jett, Classical Capital:

This is a time of extraordinary stress for many Americans, but the stress is caused by lack of vital information – not by true facts on the ground in the historic conflict now underway. Most Americans are unaware that the U. S. military high command has been investigating a criminal insurrection aimed at subverting the November 3 federal elections. With that knowledge in hand, the outlook for Americans and the future of their constitutional republic is much improved, and potentially may become the best since its founding.

The Wounds Hurt, But …

Most Americans and many more worldwide remain disconsolate. Political wounds inflicted by fraudulent vote-counting practices in the November 3 presidential election and the January 5 Georgia run-off elections for U. S. Senate seats are still raw. More wounds were inflicted by Vice President Mike Pence. He failed to perform his constitutional duties to resolve vital issues raised by competing electors in multiple states where vote-counting fraud was rampant.

Then most recently we were shown the portrayed inauguration of Joe Biden as president. With major media insisting it is so, most observers including many Trump supporters assume (or fear) the Biden presidency is permanent and irreversible. Not so.

The Insurrection Act Is Invoked

The proper place to begin understanding where the nation and the presidency stands now is the Insurrection Act of 1807. That early statute authorized the president to call upon land and naval forces to defend against and to defeat any attempt to take control of federal, state or local government by unlawful means. In mid-2018, President Donald Trump signed an executive order to detect, protect against and prevent any attempt to subvert free and fair elections on November 3, 2020.

Provisions of the order included advance assignment of duties by intelligence agencies to investigate and protect against any foreign interference in the elections. The order included specified time schedule for precautions and surveillance to be in place, for investigations and reporting by federal intelligence agencies of any instances of unlawful conduct to the Director of National Intelligence. The DNI was directed to compile his summary report of findings and deliver it to the president.

Though delayed from the original schedule set by President Trump, the DNI report to the president determined that numerous unlawful actions – including interference and collusion by foreign governments in concert with American citizens – did, in fact, occur. In summary, the president was officially notified that identified foreign governments colluded with American actors to subvert and compromise the federal elections of November 3.

Based upon the DNI report and related intelligence, President Trump invoked the Insurrection Act placing authority and responsibility upon U. S. military commands to proceed with their statutory duties to defeat the insurrection and preserve constitutional government. Foreign governments reported to be involved with American nationals included United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, France, Italy, Vatican and China.

Troops Occupy Capital

This is the context within which a reported 25,000 National Guard troops were called to duty and deployed at stations within Washington, D.C., during the days leading to and including the widely broadcast swearing in of Joe Biden as president on January 20. The military deployment was ordered by the Pentagon, not by Congress, the Senate or the president.

This is the factual context within which armed military forces took up positions around the U. S. Capitol and the White House. The Pentagon is reported to have a corps of 800 high-ranking officers focused upon defeating the insurrection involving collusion with foreign governments described above. Those officers are taking the precautions necessary to protect the nation, preserve and defend the Constitution, and defeat the insurrection.

The Plan and The Delay

A source believed to be reliable ( at 5:00 et seq.) says Pentagon officials were prepared to arrest Joe Biden and numerous others on January 20 at the time of the scheduled inauguration, but were deterred from doing so by an undisclosed consideration (perhaps threatened use of a weapon of mass destruction).

Military officials reportedly sought guidance from President Trump regarding the threat and ultimately determined to defer arrests until the threat is fully debunked. Arrests have been deferred until the threat is dealt with, which may be within a matter of days, weeks or as long as about two months.

Likely Prospects

If these described circumstances of January 20 are true, almost certainly Biden will be treated by law as never having become president. Indeed, he is likely to be treated as one who has conspired and acted to seize the presidency by treasonous means.
