What could possibly go wrong with the appointment of General Honoré to oversee a supposedly objective review of the Capitol riot?
No problem with this; no problem at all:
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi appears to be trying to rig an “independent security review” of the January 6th Capitol riots by appointing an extreme left-wing partisan to lead the investigation, and Republicans are starting to cry foul.
Retired Lt. General Russel Honoré, hand-picked by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi last month to oversee the “9/11-style” commission, is under increased scrutiny after numerous crude, extreme, and profoundly partisan tweets and comments have come to light.
Here’s the general’s reaction to Trump’s response to Hurricane Maria:
The president has shown again, you don’t give a damn about poor people, you don’t give a damn about people of color and the SOB that rides around in Air Force One is denying services needed by the people of Puerto Rico.
And then we have this:
Since Monday, several more partisan and profane comments have come to light featuring Honoré blasting Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mis.) and other Republicans for objecting to the 2020 election results, blaming conservative Capitol Police for “allowing Trumpsters” to get into the Capitol, and savaging President Trump.
“That little peace of shit with his @Yale law degree should be run out of DC and Disbarred ASAP,” Lt. General Russel Honoré wrote of Hawley in a now deleted Twitter post on January 11.
Honoré is obviously an objective and independent observer, dedicated to uncovering the truth wherever it may lead him.
More:
…[T]he man chosen by Pelosi to lead the security review of the Capitol riots, agreed with left-wing talk show host Roland Martin in an interview on Jan. 10 that former president Trump, his son Donald Trump Jr., and Rudy Giuliani should all be arrested for “causing an insurrection.”
Honoré also told the host that the reason some people think the election was stolen is because “they don’t want to lose their white power. They don’t like the browning of America.”

Redstate recently posted another good article arguing against this odious man; of particular interest is that the writer, Jennifer O’Connell, is herself black. Equally unfit for the important job entrusted to him is Lloyd Austin, whose top priorities as head of the Pentagon would appear to be climate change, transgenderism, and, most of all, rooting evil Trump-supporters out of the armed forces. The Chinese, one imagines, have rather different ideas about military preparedness.
Puerto Rico should be calling it’s caudillo to come home.
Disconcerting this obnoxious crank made it into the flag ranks.
General Russel Honoré is the General that rolled into the Superdome after Hurricane Katrina and was anointed a god!
If I was there at that time I guess I would have been glad to see him too. But I was there to get the lights back on. Spent a month in the Big Easy before being called back to Texas to work Hurricane Rita.
Art Deco’s comment above is important. How did this crazy man get three stars? He has a deep sun tan or is a POC. Is that it ?
Honoré earned a B.S. in vocational agriculture from Southern University and A&M College in 1971. He also holds an M.A. in human resources from Troy University as well as an honorary D.P.A. from Southern University and A&M College.
Military background ? What is a “DPA?”
Honoré criticized the Trump administration’s response to the crisis, saying it demanded a greater and more rapid response, with a larger commitment of U.S. troops to provide emergency assistance,[11] and told CNN anchor Erin Burnett, “The president has shown again he don’t give a damn about poor people. He doesn’t give a damn about people of color.”
More of his “neutrality.” That was after the Puerto Rico hurricane which exposed much of the corruption of Puerto Rico’s government.
I see no evidence of a combat command in that bio.
Not for Puerto Rico, but from Louisiana. His Wikedmedia info doesn’t show any active duty in Afghanistan or Iraq, only Korea and Germany as overseas assignments. Would fit in as a caudillo though.
Retired Lt. General Honoré’s racist fanaticism is simply a reflection of Pelosi’s. As well as the activist base’s ideological fanaticism. A fanaticism that the democrat leadership is forced to accomodate.
Fanaticism disables the corrective feedback mechanism.
Which invariably leads to fatal mistakes. As well as the inability to adjust to them.
The democrat party has risen to its position of incompetence.
From this point forward, they will alienate more and more of the productive public. And, will continually reinforce that alienation.
This guy’s undergraduate degree basically qualifies him to teach special ed kids to weed and water in a market garden operation. Postgraduate-wise, hey, it’s Karen from HR wanting to know why you aren’t wearing your homo ally rainbow ribbon… are you a Nazi or something?
Affirmative Action Dummy. Should be delivering mail.
But will get this job done the way he’s expected to for cash and prizes.
Zaphod: “But will get this job done the way he’s expected to for cash and prizes.”
After the way Zuckerberg and the other tech titans/Hollywood/Soros/Wall Street flooded the election zone with money, I’m willing to believe the money fix is in in everything the Dems do.
A 9/11 type commission should be composed of truly bipartisan members or none of we deplorables will believe a word they tell us. The MSM have been gaslighting us for five years now and I guess they think it’s working. So they keep on doing it. The floggings will continue until morale improves.
Honore was born and raised in rural grunt-farming Louisiana. He attended “historically black” institutions post high school, which means he was exposed to little actual teaching. But Southern U in Baton Rouge and Troy State (In AL?), his two, are a leetle better than Alcorn State in MS, which boasts of its football players and “Dynomite Marching Band”. Its entrance requirement, basically, is skin color.
Black schools make thing up, thus the “DPA” from Southern, some kind of award.
Honore has always had a big mouth (remember him “having charge” of the post-Katrina rescue of New Orleans?), but his military career accomplishments were what? How did he make it above Lt. Colonel? Probably promoted based on blackness.
So the people calling for an investigation and leading the investigation, all have predetermined that Trump caused it without yet conducting an investigation.
The general appears to be stuck on stupid.
I believe Honore is a Creole.
If they get to call our Talismanic Blacks Uncle Toms, does that mean we can return the favour?
No Comrades.. that would be Facist and just Plain Wrong.
General Candomblé is a fine and noble patriot and we should honour his service and sacrifice many chickens in his name. And then fry them.
Oh dear… I wonder what a ‘Facist’ is? Could it be a Fascist Racist? Nah… must be some kind of Unkind Reprobate who feels physically ill when forced to look at Hilary the Gorgon.
Is the Hilldabeast still on this side of the sod? She should have been the presi…. Nah, never was. Sad. Truly sad. Although a nation it seems can’t dodge all the bullets.
@Om:
No point wasting good lead on her. Only silver will do the job and keep it done.
From what I read about supply shortages, silver bullets probably cheaper anyway.
He did a serviceable job in New Orleans. The services have many many specialties that do not require combat command but have it’s own structure that eventually have Generals at the top.
But you have give pause to his statements. No way should he be given a supposedly neutral fact finding investigation. This is the more deep state maneuvering. But if he wants testimony I am willing to give it since I was there.
Robert Shotzberger: “The general appears to be stuck on stupid.”
LOL – I was hoping that comment of his would come back to bite him!
Nuanced take on the good General by a retired flyover prole veteran:
https://bigcountryexpatoriginal.blogspot.com/2021/02/no-honor-e.html
Is he the General who ordered guns confiscated guns in New Orleans?
Apparently yes.
Just the fact Nanzi picked him one knows he is a partisan hack appointed to be the executioner.
Honore is an example of the kind of officer who was promoted to flag rank under the Clintons (he was a major general by 2002, so he probably was at least selected for brigadier, if not actually formally approved by Congress, before Bush II).
You wonder why the US military would probably aid the Dems in a military / commie takeover? It’s 16 years of officers like this getting promoted to flag rank – with only 4 years of Trump and 8 years of Bush II the squish. The self-described African-American Creole general may be retired now, but I fear he is far more typical than anyone wants to admit. I’ve been warning about this trend since Clinton sacked almost 200 flag officers early in his tenure.
Gen Russell “Stuck on Stupid” Honoré appears to be stuck on TDS.
Who killed Ashli Babbitt and why?

Africom commending general Carter Ham could not be reached for comment. If you have forgotten the story, he decided to ignore the stand down order on Benghazi and send the rescue team. He was immediately relieved and his order canceled.
Obama preferred generals like these.
On the left it is an imperative that if you have any power in the selection of others to advance in position or get money you must push for the one(s) that are of the left. When necessary provide reasons for doing so that do not involve their political views even if such reasons are implausible.
This has been the means by which the Left has taken control of every institution starting with the colleges and spreading out from there.
it’s very convenient like with general taguba, in the abu ghraib fracas,

Honore and his antiwhite bigotry are symbolic of the Democratic Party.
My own view and fear is the Democratic Party has become in its leadership the new Communist Party, with the Capitol, surrounded by chain-link fence topped by razor wire, and protected by thousands of troops with live ammunition with which to kill their fellow citizens, has become the new Kremlin.
They have seized power and, like Lenin, Stalin and Mao, will never relinquish it. To them, we are worms, low life forms worthy of abuse and oppression, to be hooked and used as bait when needed.
Most of us do not see this, which guarantees the doom of the American Republic. It will eventually be renamed as the United Socialist States of America (USSA), with a new and entirely BS constitution, as in the USSR. Blacks will happily jump on board and be enforcers.
“Browning of America”? Don’t see that happening, unless you count Hispanics as separate from White, which past the second generation is basically a distinction without a difference.
@Surellin:
Have you had a look at your Yard Work Munchkins lately? They’re not ‘Hispanic’ – they’re Aztecs and if you’ve been paying attention to gang warfare developments, they’re rapidly reverting to type.
Have a Heart though… Their Sun God will need it later.
You may not be interested in Atavism, but Atavism is Interested in You.
Small Point. That is “Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO)” not (R-Mis). Maybe a “(Sick)”, since it seems to come from the linked material…… MissouRAH worked hard to get that Senator elected in spite of the Corruptocrat maniplulations like those that faked Senator John Ashcroft’s re-election loss. General Honore’s snarks and tweets honor a man far better than the General.
