The truth is tying its shoes... [View all]

As lies continue to fly all around.

With the Select Committee only half-way thru its Hearings, the Trump team is beginning to sweat.

Lately, Trump has visited the Evangelicals and the NRA, in an attempt to shore up his support. He cannot afford to lose either of these loyal partners.

Today, it is being reported that they may have found a "fall guy" to take the blame for the "fake elector" scam? That must be the one for which they are most fearful? There are several avenues for criminal prosecution but they seem most concerned about the "fake electors".

There are indications that some on the right are turning on each other. Just this week, Senator John Cornyn and Rep. Dan Crenshaw were attacked at the Texas GOP Convention. The Proud Boys were mocking Crenshaw by calling him "Eyepatch McCain". Neither of these legislators were liberal Democrats. They were strong Trump supporters.

But, sometimes, the truth is slow in getting off the blocks. However, the Committee is scheduled to expose even more of their lies today.

My hope is that they will keep the Committee active until the truth is completely uncovered, however long it might take.
