https://www.afinalwarning.com/507602.html (Natural News) Democrats have solidified their effort to act as an Orwellian Ministry of Truth with the passage of Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s H.R. 1085 in the House of Representatives. This bill rewrites the historical facts from Jan. 6 under the guise of “honoring” the U.S. Capitol Police (USCP) who bravely protect Congress.

Pelosi’s goal, of course, isn’t to show respect and admiration to the Capitol Police which would be particularly ironic coming from the “defund the police” party but to perpetuate a false narrative that 74-plus million Americans are dangerous racists and insurrectionists who have no part in civilized society.

Democrats are reviving a debate over whether to call witnesses for the impeachment trial against former President Trump
Neither House impeachment managers nor Trump s legal team had formally closed the door to calling witnesses, but senators on both sides of the aisle expected they wouldn t and that the trial would wrap up on Saturday.
But some Democrats are now endorsing the idea in the wake of new details about conversations then-President Trump had with Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy

Liberals on and off Capitol Hill are up in arms after Democratic impeachment managers abandoned their effort to compel new witness testimony in the trial accusing former President Trump
The progressive critics contend that Democratic prosecutors, by accepting a deal to exclude those witnesses and wrap up the trial, missed a unique opportunity to highlight Trump s involvement in the assault, particularly his refusal to defuse the violence after it had begun.
They aren t mincing words.

They just closed the door on others who may have stepped out, as @HerreraBeutler urged last night, Adam Green, who heads the Progressive Change Campaign Committee, said on Twitter, referring to Rep.

The president is increasingly isolated. He has been abandoned by his allies and has few defenders, as administration officials resign in disgust and blame the president for inciting the deadly riot.
Most Republicans may be content with Trump riding out the final 12 days of his administration.
There appears to be minimal GOP support for impeachment, and efforts to oust him through the 25th Amendment have stalled.
Trump also seems unlikely to resign on his own. One source close to the president flatly rejected the prospect of Trump resigning before Jan. 20.
Biden on Friday indicated that there is such little time left that the best option may just be to ride it out.

Biden on Wednesday reiterated his desire to pass additional coronavirus relief legislation.
“We need urgent action on what comes next, because the COVID-19 crisis hits red states and blue states alike,” he said in a statement.

The commitment on direct payments from the three top Democrats signals near-term action on legislation is likely to be a priority, said Todd Metcalf, a principal in the tax policy services group at PwC who previously served as chief tax counsel for Democrats on the Senate Finance Committee.
