The past week has seen definitive proof that the January 6 Event was a false-flag pseudo-operation. An Inspector General has revealed twenty-six “confidential human sources” – read snitches and provocateurs – that the FBI had on the scene. That’s likely a fraction of the actual cadre of snitches and agents provocateurs the FBI fielded that day. But yesterday evening came strong suggestions that former Rep. Liz Cheney (RINO-Wyo.) knew perfectly well that the FBI was running snitches and provocateurs that day. We already know that she suppressed evidence that then-President Donald Trump tried to prevent any violence that day. Now we know that the FBI provoked it – and have reason to suspect that Liz Cheney covered that up, too.

What is a false-flag pseudo-operation?

Whenever a military unit flies a flag other than its own during any operation, historians call that a false-flag operation. During the War of 1812, an eleven-year-old midshipman was aboard a United States Naval vessel (USS Essex) that carried out a classic false-flag operation. She flew the Union Jack to get close to a British man-o-war, then abruptly hoisted the Stars and Stripes immediately before bringing the enemy ship to battle. That midshipman, more than half a century later, became the Navy’s first-ever flag officer. History remembers him best for the Battle of Mobile Bay during the War Between the States.

D__n the torpedoes! Full speed ahead!

R-Adm. David Glasgow Farragut USN

When any fighting force carries out an operation against its own side, while flying a foreign flag, it conducts a false-flag pseudo-operation. Governments order such operations to inflame the public and blame a putative enemy for an attack they did not launch.

Evidence for a false-flag pseudo-operation on January 6, 2021

Last Thursday (December 12), Jim Hoft at The Gateway Pundit reported on the release of an Inspector General’s report from the Department of Justice. Inspector General David Horowitz produced an 88-page report with this title:

A Review of the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Handling of Its Confidential Human Sources and Intelligence Collection Efforts in the Lead Up to the January 6, 2021 Electoral Certification

That title alone suggests that Mr. Horowitz knew how sensitive this subject was. Of course he insisted that none of these snitches did anything illegal. But he did mention three snitches who separately traveled to Washington, D.C. for the event. Horowitz likes to speak of “domestic terrorism subjects” often. Those are most likely Americans with strong patriotic sentiments, who are not pleased to see one-worlders in government. Never once has any such person planted an anti-personnel device in a public place, nor taken a hostage or hostages. The FBI surely knows this.

In addition, twenty-three other snitches were already in Washington, D.C. at the time. They attended the Big Rally for Donald Trump. Here is where Mr. Horowitz has a problem. He confidently asserts that the FBI never authorized any of these people to enter the Capitol or the restricted area around it. But he admits that four of them did enter the Capitol and another thirteen entered the restricted area. And none of those snitches has faced prosecution, even though they were technically trespassing.

Horowitz goes on to assert that the FBI’s Washington Field Office didn’t even know how many such assets it had. That, of course, strains credulity. No one has ever compared the FBI to the Keystone Kops.

More than only those snitches

That report covers only those twenty-six snitches. Jim Hoft asserts that the FBI had many more than that – and some of those were agents provocateurs. His report has extensive links to previous reporting – including twenty separate incidents of provocation, evidence planting, and laying of traps.

The next day (December 13), Hoft recapped a report by Washington Times investigative reporter Kerry Picket from July 2023. That report mentioned “at least twenty-five” snitches, in connection with the appearance by FBI Director Christopher Wray before the House Judiciary Committee. The FBI’s Deputy Director, Paul Abbate, tried to hide the existence of those snitches in Washington that day. Mr. Abbate said the obvious: the FBI could never justify or even excuse it. “Embarrassing” and “problematic” were the words he used.

Mr. Picket has been recapping his own reporting since Thursday, with the release of the IG report.

FLASHBACK July 2023 FBI whistleblower: Deputy director told subordinates to hide Jan. 6 informants.

https://x.com/KerryPicket/status/1867377161046220907

An FBI agent told the House Judiciary Committee that Deputy Director Paul Abbate suggested that at least 25 FBI confidential human sources, or informants, involved in reporting to the bureau from the Jan. 6, 2021, protest should not be publicly acknowledged.

According to the whistleblower disclosure sent to the committee, Mr. Abbate notified one or more of his subordinates that the more than 25 informants were too problematic or embarrassing for the FBI to have their existence made known to the public and that the existence, activities and identities of these FBI confidential human sources should not be released.

https://x.com/KerryPicket/status/1867377398259306598

A CNN account reacted to the IG report with this:

No undercover FBI agents were at the US Capitol during the insurrection, a Justice Department watchdog has found, rejecting claims by allies of President-elect Donald Trump that the violence on January 6, 2021, was provoked by federal agents.

https://x.com/cnnbrk/status/1867274001065635841

That’s stretching a point. Mr. Horowitz did not care to admit that the FBI had any sworn agents on the scene. But he did admit that seventeen paid snitches did enter the restricted area, including four who entered the Capitol. Reaction to this CNN-affiliated post was uniformly negative and consisted of cat-calling and refutations. Many cited the actual report mentioning those seventeen trespassing snitches.

What did Liz Cheney know, and when did she know it?

Yesterday evening at 6:00 p.m. EST, Cullen Linebarger of TGP dropped a thunderclap of a report. It refers to a report earlier in the evening by The Washington Examiner. According to it, Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) appeared on Maria Bartiromo’s Sunday Morning Futures program yesterday morning. In that segment, he asked why Rep. Liz Cheney (RINO-Wyo.) had seen fit to belittle him and others for raising questions about the investigation, such as it was, by the House Select January 6 Committee.

When Ms. Bartiromo asked him to comment on the IG report, he said:

The Inspector General’s report confirmed what a lot of us had wondered for a long time, and what we repeated questioned FBI Director Christopher Wray and other DOJ officials about. Which is: whether, and to what extent, there may have been government assets on the ground, involved in what happened on January 6, 2021. They [disrespected] our questions, They refused to answer them, they neglected them. And then a lot of people, including The Huffington Post, including [Representative] Cheney, called those of us who were asking the questions, “nut cases,” [implying] that we were crazy for asking them. Well now it appears we weren’t so crazy after all, that we had perfectly legitimate reasons to ask the questions, and those questions were not at all what Liz Cheney and The Huffington Post wanted everyone to suppose.

This exchange, between Sen. Lee and former Rep. Cheney, in November of 2023, was typical:

Here’s some January 6th video for you.

Fmr. Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.)

https://x.com/Liz_Cheney/status/1725634264153153560

Liz, we’ve seen footage like that a million times. You made sure we saw that—and nothing else. It’s the other stuff—what you deliberately hid from us—that we find so upsetting. Nice try.

P.S. How many of these guys are feds? (As if you’d ever tell us).

Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah)

https://x.com/BasedMikeLee/status/1725767839272120420

Hey, [Senator] Lee – heads up. A nutball conspiracy theorist appears to be posting from your account.

Fmr. Rep. Cheney

https://x.com/Liz_Cheney/status/1725941760520487234

Ms. Bartiromo asked about that exchange, and pointedly asked whether Liz Cheney will require a preemptive pardon. The Senator replied:

I don’t know what she might have known at the time. But what I do know is this: it’s very strange that she would call people who were raising these questions nut jobs, nut cases, whatever it is that she wanted to say, when she herself, a member of this January 6th investigative committee, had access to a lot of information. This begs the question: did she know, in fact, that what Mr. Horowitz put out recently in the inspector general report? Did she know this already? If so, why was she up there calling into question the sanity of anyone if even raising the question?

As far as these preemptive pardons go, it really is interesting, how many people [have appeared] on this list. I wonder whether that is actually going to happen, or whether this is sheer speculation. But if it’s not speculation, who else is on the list? I would really like to know that.

Ms. Bartiromo then asked about the rumored destruction of evidence. Sen. Lee replied:

What I do know is that, when the Democrats lost their electoral majority, when the new majority came in and started looking for documents, there was a bunch of stuff missing. As far as who [might] have destroyed what, I don’t know. But this does make me wonder what role she might have had in it, as well as other Members of the Committee.

At one minute to midnight Saturday, before he appeared on Sunday Morning Futures, Sen. Lee had this response to last year’s snide post by former Rep. Cheney:

Liz Cheney called me a “nutball conspiracy theorist” for asking questions about FBI’s involvement on January 6^th. The DOJ Inspector General’s report confirmed that I had good reasons to ask these questions, which Christopher Wray repeatedly dodged.

https://x.com/BasedMikeLee/status/1868158958718042375

Analysis

CNAV, TGP, and many others have maintained since it happened that the January 6^th Event was a false-flag pseudo-operation. That an Inspector General from a Democratic administration sees fit to admit part of the truth, demonstrates two things. First, admitting part of the truth while denying the rest is a standard propaganda tactic. Second, it shows weakness. Where the administration operating from a position of strength, they would never admit even as much as they just did.

As for Liz Cheney, William Shakespeare would know exactly what to say:

The lady doth protest too much, methinks.

Hamlet III.ii.219

In 2022, Liz Cheney lost her primary to her successor, Rep. Harriet Hageman (R-Wyo.). But, it seems, she couldn’t leave the January 6^th Event alone. She had to share carefully edited footage to show that patriotic Americans, in an out-of-control rage, ran riot. Never mind that this would have been the most pathetic riot in history. At least 100,000 people attended that Big Rally, perhaps 200,000 – enough for twenty infantry divisions. Had they made a definite plan, they could have occupied the Capitol easily. Perhaps the presence of a division of National Guardsmen would have persuaded the planners to abort any such plan. Or perhaps not.

We’ll never know for sure – because Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), then Speaker of the House, refused President Trump’s offer of those troops. Instead, her daughter showed up with a film crew, shooting whatever footage she might splice together afterward. Even then, the Democrats were planning to make Republicans look bad.

Role of the FBI

The FBI was their enforcement arm – or rather, on loan from the Deep State. Theirs was the plan to provoke the crowd into such violence as actually occurred. And remember: only one person died from a shot fired in anger. That was Ashli Babbett – on the patriotic side.

The January 6 Committee – which Trump calls “The Unselect Committee” – suppressed all evidence exculpatory of any protesters, or incriminating of the FBI. Liz Cheney was part of that. So look again at her ridiculous exchange with Sen. Lee. She shares edited footage. The Senator reminds her sharply of the suppressed evidence, and the suspicions of FBI snitches and “cutouts” (undercover operatives) on the ground. Her reply amounts to two words: “You’re” and “nuts.”

The termagant (no lady she) did indeed protest far too much. Sen. Lee, of course, is playing the perfect gentleman, saying “I wonder” when he means “I know.” And he’s asking the right question: what did the token ranking member know, and when did she know it?

In any case, the American people have the proof they need. Delaying the release of that proof until after the election was a very clever trick – that didn’t work. The more reason for President-elect Trump to investigate this matter – fully. He’s taken one important step already: nominating a new Director who will hold the FBI up by its collective ankles and shake it. Which is just what the county needs to see happen.

Yesterday (December 13), President-elect Donald J. Trump touched on a relatively quiet controversy that still flares up twice a year. He proposes to eliminate the concept Daylight Saving Time, or Summer Time as other countries call it. The one thing everyone responding to him agrees upon is that semiannual time changes are inconvenient and even unhealthy. Shifting the clock ahead one hour is worse than shifting it back, because one loses an hour of sleep. But people still argue about one thing: what should actually be the permanent clock setting after time changes stop? Herewith a brief review of the history of time changes, solutions other countries have found, and CNAV’s own proposed solution.

Definitions of time zones and other time conventions

The Uniform Time Act of 1966 first established the concept Daylight Saving Time. Before then, the Time Zone Act of 1918 defined the eight North American time zones we know today. This table shows the original time zones, and how many degrees west of the Prime or Greenwich Meridian the centers of these zones would be:

Yukon Time is obsolete today, so international law currently names it Alaskan Time, which falls between Pacific and Hawaiian. Bering Time is now Samoa Time in American parlance.

180 degrees is, of course, the International Date Line, which also divides “Anywhere-on-earth” or Baker Island Time (Military: Y) from Line Islands Time (Military: M). For reference, the military uses Z for Coordinated Universal Time (formerly Greenwich Mean Time, now “just another time zone”). J stands for the time observed locally aboard ship or on station at any given location. The letters A through M (except J) refer to time zones moving east of the Prime Meridian (at 15-degree intervals), and N through Y refer to zones moving west of the Prime Meridian.

The Interstate Commerce Commission draws time-zone boundaries in the United States. Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands use Atlantic Time.

Introducing the time changes

In 1966, Congress passed its Uniform Time Act to accommodate city dwellers who wanted an extra hour of daylight in the evenings in summer, but did not want to sacrifice an hour of daylight in the winter. This literally left farmers out in the cold. A farmer keeps local sunlight time; sunlight and weather rigidly dictate his work schedule. So what if the sun rises at four-thirty in the morning? He’s up when the dew dries off his fields, and he doesn’t care when he gets up. All he cares about is: what work does he have to do, and how soon can he start it?

Not so the city dweller. A factory owner typically determines his work schedule. Sunrise at 4:30 a.m. is wasted on him – perhaps worse than wasted, because the light wakes him up. What he would like to have, is an extra hour of darkness in the morning, and that extra hour transferred to his “after hours.”

That, at least, is how Congress sold the concept Daylight Saving Time (DST) to the American people. Thereafter, on a designated spring (or late winter) Sunday morning, 2:00 a.m. becomes 3:00 a.m. That’s the start of DST – or Summer Time in other countries who also observe the custom. Then on a designated fall Sunday morning, 3:00 a.m. becomes 2:00 a.m. and retraces that hour. This leads to the proverb, “Spring Forward; Fall Back.”

The people hate it!

Members of any generation later than Baby Boomers will not remember an era when time changes did not happen. But in fact, adults of The Greatest Generation (before the Baby Boom), once time changes started, grew to hate them. “Robbing Peter to pay Paul!” cried many – and that was the charitable or “gentlemanly” way to put it. Even the city dwellers – especially the “night owls” – who loved the extra hour of daylight, hated losing an hour’s rest. Typically that lasted one day – but its effects might linger for a week, or longer. As they still do.

Farmers were outraged. They bellowed,

We can’t start work until the dew dries off our fields – and you’ve just robbed us of an hour of daylight in the morning!

They did more than bellow – they wrote to their State legislators. That’s why several States – typically farm States – passed laws nullifying the time changes.

But apart from two States, none of these laws remain in effect. Arizona nullifies all time changes to this day. Arizonans keep Mountain Standard Time year-round – though Navajo reservation dwellers change their clocks, just like everybody else. Hawaii also nullified DST – and, being tropical and out of any telecommunications networks, they lose nothing by so doing. The Uniform Time Act permits nullifying DST but does not permit nullifying Standard Time.

The Trump proposal

Donald Trump, after his reelection, proposed ending all time changes. But he expressed it like this:

The Republican Party will use its best efforts to eliminate Daylight Saving Time, which has a small but strong constituency, but shouldn’t! Daylight Saving Time is inconvenient, and very costly to our Nation.

https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/113647254141876924

Truth Social lets visitors see replies to a Truth in timestamp order (oldest or newest first), or in order of decreasing trending or controversy. Trending replies are now totally off the subject; they talk about how much people like to have Trump back. But the oldest replies show people mostly agreeing that it’s time to eliminate time changes. Where people disagree is on whether to observe DST or standard time year-round.

In fact measures to nullify time changes by keeping year-round DST are pending in many States. Most such laws would take effect only if Congress repeals the Uniform Time Act, as amended. Almanac.com produced this survey of the current state of time change law on October 24.

In March of 2022 the U.S. Senate unanimously passed a measure to observe DST year-round throughout the country. Despite bipartisan sponsorship by Sens. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) and Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.), that measure got nowhere in the House. It died after Midterms.

According to Reuters, twelve Senators of both parties made the same pitch last March.

Why the time changes should stop

Again, adults who remembered How It Was Before the Time Changes, hate them. “Falling back” is bad enough, but “springing forward” is worse. The change itself, not the state changed to, is the problem.

Jim Hoft at The Gateway Pundit wrote a comprehensive survey of the costs and (dubious) benefits of the time changes. DST is supposed to save fuel (for lighting, headlights, etc.), but those benefits are minimal to undetectable. A University of Michigan study says the days following time changes (either way) see more heart attacks and workplace injuries. The New York Times reports that such incidents cost the economy $434 million a year.

So a consensus has developed: set the clocks either forward or back just once, and then leave them alone! The only remaining question is: in which direction? One other question might be: how far forward? Some countries (Iran, for example) keep time offset half an hour from the expected longitude-dependent adjustment.

In the fall and winter of 1973-1974, the United States tried observing DST all year round. That was a disaster. The Washingtonian reports what happened. Sunrise at 8:27 a.m. on a school morning! Children bicycling to school or waiting for buses in the dark! One saw the tragic results of this absurdity in traffic accident reports and hospital emergency rooms. Some school districts delayed school until after sunrise as a result – but that also meant delaying dismissal.

So when do we change the time to?

When even the city dwellers cried out in anguish – and President Nixon saw his prestige collapse and even had to resign – Congress repealed year-round DST before it could take effect for another fall and winter. Since then, Congress has delayed the “fall back” and advanced the “spring forward,” but has little appetite for permanent DST. But that hasn’t stopped several States from proposing permanent DST. (To repeat, Arizona and Hawaii observe permanent standard time.)

Permanent DST, as mentioned, is a non-starter for farmers. It is also a non-starter in Hawaii, because sunrise and sunset vary much less than in other States.

What would happen if the country kept standard time year-round? For the wintertime, standard time is ideal. Holiday activities typically are more enjoyable after sunset. Anyone who has created a lighted holiday display for his house, knows the benefit. For that matter, anyone who has attended a theme park during Christmas knows how breathtaking such a park can be – when night has fallen. Rob such a place of an hour of the darkness that provides contrast for light displays? Never!

But what about the summertime? Again, farm families would love having people leave them alone. They’ll get up with the sun, and would welcome the hour’s start. The rest of us might try spending an hour of family play time in the morning. The theme parks could adapt readily to an hour of summer darkness by shifting their entertainments from rides and games to indoor shows.

Just one more thing

One other solution exists to eliminate time changes and compromise between morning and evening light and darkness. But it would require a complete renegotiation of international time conventions.

Suppose all time zones advanced their clocks a half-hour ahead, so that the “noonday sun” shown at 12:30 p.m. at the center of each time zone, instead of nominal noon? Such a change would advance sunrise from 4:30 to 5:00 on the summer solstice – and perhaps from 7:30 to 8:00 at the winter solstice. True, that might lessen the severity of the sun waking someone up before 5:00 in summertime. But that would come at the price of delaying sunrise by half an hour in the wintertime. Such a delay might be no more tolerable than the delay during 1973-1974.

To dislike all things Russian has become fashionable. But in fact the Russians know all about adapting to extreme sunrise and sunset cycles. Moscow at this time of year sees seven hours of sunlight – but sees seventeen and a half hours in summer. (They call this “White Nights.”) In 2010, the Russian Federation abolished DST. Perhaps they know something we don’t.

The solution to the time changes

So abolishing Daylight Savings Time, as Donald Trump phrased his proposal, would probably be the best replacement for time changes. Farm productivity would rise immediately, depending as it does on the sunlight cycle. Simply eliminating time changes would improve the people’s heart health – and make the streets and roads safer. Imagine many fewer bleary-eyed drivers at what was once “spring forward” time.

True enough, many of the city dwellers would have to give up long summer evenings with longer daylight hours. But as mentioned, the alternative would be an intolerable traffic hazard in wintertime, especially for children going to school.

Trump deserves much credit for taking the idea seriously – as his newfound friend Elon Musk also seems to be doing. Again, the most important change he can make is to eliminate the semiannual time changes. That alone would be a great boon to all the people – in city and country both.

As Joe Biden’s last year winds down, Democrats are seeing something with which only Republicans have dealt before. Dissension is growing in the ranks. Thus far the dissension involves two news-making Democrats who each have made isolated pronouncements at odds with national Party leadership. But now those two are becoming more consistent in their dissension. More remarkably still, those two had reputations for being radical leftists when they ran for office. Cold, hard reality – the reality not only of campaigning but also of governance – might be affecting them.

Most Democrats are still bitter

Thus far this dissension in the ranks seems limited. Former Democrats who have openly defected to the Republican Party are not at issue here. After all, Donald Trump himself was a Democrat once – before he hijacked the Republican brand. Trump then converted, or recruited, three prominent Democrats or Democrat supporters: Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Elon Musk, and Joe Rogan. That prompted Van Jones at CNN to accuse his Party’s leadership of chasing those three away.

Separately, Mark Halperin suggested the primary way the Democrats have held together is by creating a cadre of bullies. Those bullies, he says, prevented any meaningful primary challenges to Joe Biden, until his disastrous debate performance. That, he says, “cost Democrats the White House.”

He’s likely correct – and, like all bullies, certain prominent Democrats are still bitter – and they’re saying breathtakingly silly things. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) hinted that Brian Thompson, CEO of UnitedHealth, deserved to be murdered in front of his hotel. Not because the murder might have been a “hit” on him by reason of insider trading or some scam he might have been running on the side – but because insurance executives have incurred the rage of the people.

Violence is never the answer … but you can only push people so far, and then they start to take matters into their own hands.

https://x.com/tomselliott/status/1866908469535572350

A has-been journalist can say things like that – but it ill befits a Senator to say them. Then we have Anita Dunn, a long-time adviser to President Biden, denying the weaponization of the Justice Department.

Anita Dunn: “When you look at this Attorney General [Merrick Garland], this Department of Justice…the one thing you can really not say about it is that it operated as a political arm of the White House. I can attest to that.”

Jason Miller (her Trump counterpart): “Respectfully, Anita did you miss the last four years? Did you miss the illegal raid on Mar-a-Lago?”

https://x.com/CortesSteve/status/1866926316748189941

Dissension – from being sensible

But some Democrats, like Eric Adams, Mayor of New York City, have to govern. Yesterday Adams met with Trump’s ICE Director-designate, Tom Homan. Mr. Homan must have shared some sobering realities – and Mayor Adams called a press conference to share them afterward. Christina Laila of The Gateway Pundit had the greatest details.

We’re not going to be a safe haven for those who commit repeated violent crimes against innocent migrants, immigrants and long-standing New Yorkers. From what I heard from the incoming head of ICE is that we have the same desire to go after those who are committing violent acts, repeated violent acts among innocent New Yorkers and among migration asylum seekers. That’s what I heard from him. And I was pleased to hear that, because we share the same desire.

I’ve said this before, and I’m surprised the way everyone is attempting to state this is a “new coming of Eric Adams…” [New York City] can’t be a safe haven for violent individuals.

Mayor Eric Adams

https://x.com/DailySignal/status/1867305810730299395

Among the harsh realities Homan apparently shared:

We have 500,000 children who had sponsors in this country that we can’t find. We can’t find them. We don’t know if they’re doing child labor. We don’t know if they’re doing sex crimes. We don’t know if they’re being exploited. 500,000 children. We don’t know where they are right now in this country.

Adams ended with this dig at reporters whose sympathies always lie with the left:

I’m going to answer a few questions and then I am leaving because it's not going to matter what I respond to anyway, you have your preconceived thoughts already.

Ouch.

As bad as that setback might be, Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) arguably did worse. Until now, Democrats have given the cold shoulder to Trump’s nominees, especially Tulsi Gabbard (for Director of National Intelligence). But now Sen. Fetterman has met with Pete Hegseth, nominee for Secretary of Defense. In an interview with CNN’s Manu Raju, he said:

I’m not sure why it’d be controversial to anybody if he’s the individual who could potentially be the next secretary of defense. I’m not just a senator for Pennsylvania, for my voters or Democrats, it’s for all of us.

He also said he’d received “a lot” of constituent calls asking him to meet with Trump nominees. Trump carried the State, of course, and Fetterman will have a new Republican Senate colleague. Still, Democrats almost never pay more than passing attention to their calls – but John Fetterman did. And when his fellow Party members complain, he says this:

Those individuals can vent or rant on Twitter but I’m here to have conversations, and I think I’m just doing my job.

Now that well befits a Senator.

Analysis

What explains this dissension in the ranks? To repeat, some people have to govern. In fact, Mayor Adams said, before the acquittal of Daniel Penny in the subway headlock incident, that Penny had done what New York’s Finest should have done.

John Fetterman might have noticed that his State was trending Republican earlier this year. He also is on record opposing some of the more incendiary rhetoric from his fellow Democrats. But when a Senator meets with a Presidential nominee, more than rhetoric is involved.

Heretofore, only Republicans have had to worry about dissension in their ranks. Sens. Susan Collins (RINO-Maine) and Lisa Murkowski (RINO-Alaska), and former Reps. Liz Cheney (RINO-Wyo.) and Adam Kinzinger (RINO-Ill.) are (or were) some of the booby-prize examples. Sen. Mitch McConnell (RINO-Ky.) is a worse example. He now seems to be comparing Trump to Charles A. Lindbergh, who called for isolationism in the 1930s. (He also took a flop recently and could barely walk afterward. No doubt Gov. Andy Beshear, D-Ky., is watching, waiting to test the limits of his appointment power.)

More to the point, the last of the moderate Democrats seemed to have left the Party in the last four years. Are new moderates taking their places? Will this cause, as some influencers expect, a civil war within the Democratic Party? Stay tuned.
