U.S. Capitol Hill Officer Assigned to Senate Commits Suicide; Father Was Former Senate Sergeant-at-Arms Who Died of Heart Attack at 62

By Law and Crime. An officer with the United States Capitol Police has died by suicide. He was Howard Liebengood, said sources cited by Punch Bowl News‘ Jake Sherman and John Bresnahan.

“The United States Capitol Police is deeply saddened by the off-duty death on January 9, 2021, of Officer Howard Liebengood, age 51,” Capitol police said in a statement released on Sunday. “He was assigned to the Senate Division, and has been with the Department since April 2005. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family, friends, and colleagues. We ask that his family, and other USCP officers’ and their families’ privacy be respected during this profoundly difficult time.”

Liebengood was the son of former Senate sergeant-at-arms Howard S. Liebengood, who died in 2005 of a heart attack at age 62. His father also previously served as a chief of staff for two Republican senators, and was a lobbyist.

It is unclear if Liebengood left behind an explanation. His death happens mere days after supporters of President Donald Trump stormed the Capitol Building on Wednesday. Congress was certifying the electoral college votes that favored President-elect Joe Biden. Trump has incessantly been lying that he actually won, and the election was stolen from him.

/1 Comment/in , , /by

Hundreds of thousands of Trump supporters gathered in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday to protest an election many consider to be unfair. One of those attendees, a public school teacher in Allentown, Pennsylvania, has been relieved of duty pending a formal investigation into his attendance at Wednesday’s protest.

“Because of the emotion and controversy stirred by the events of January 6, 2021, the teacher has been temporarily relieved of his teaching duties until the School District can complete a formal investigation of his involvement,” reads a statement from Allentown School District Superintendent Thomas Parker. . .

“Yesterday’s events have added to the confusion and uncertainty our students are experiencing during this unprecedented time,” Thomas continued. “To that end, we are reminding our staff to think carefully about what they share online and how it could affect their students and fellow community members. While we all have the right to express ourselves, it is important to do so respectfully. We ask the same of our students and families.” (Read more from “What’s Happening to a Public School Teacher Who Attended the D.C. Protest Should Worry Us All” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , /by

A New Jersey man who was among the dozens arrested at the Capitol last Wednesday said the violent turn of events was “stupid,” a report said.

Leonard Guthrie Jr., a Middle Township resident, admitted to several media outlets that he crossed a police line outside the Capitol in an act of civil disobedience, but said he was not part of the building breach.

Guthrie, a self-described street preacher, told NJ.com that he went to the nation’s capital to “pray for honesty and integrity.”

Speaking with the Press of Atlantic City, Guthrie told the newspaper, “This wasn’t about going in and destroying the building. It had nothing to do with that.” . . .

“I have nothing to say about that other than they shouldn’t have done that. That was wrong. That was stupid,” Guthrie told the Press of the siege. (Read more from “New Jersey Man Arrested at Capitol Called the Siege ‘Stupid’” HERE)

Manatee Found With ‘Trump’ Scrawled on Its Back in Florida

/1 Comment/in , /by

A manatee was found with the word “TRUMP” scrawled on its back in a Florida swimming hole, prompting an investigation from the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, reports said Monday.

The defenseless animal was spotted with the political inscription over the weekend in the Blue Hole headwaters of the Homosassa River in Citrus County — about 80 miles northwest of Orlando, the Citrus County Chronicle reported.

Witnesses reported the animal to federal authorities, the outlet said.

“It’s been my experience that this is very out of character for this community,” Craig Cavanna, a senior federal wildlife officer in charge of the investigation, told the outlet.

“Wildlife conservation is a core value in Citrus County. That’s why it’s called the Nature Coast.” (Read more from “Manatee Found With ‘Trump’ Scrawled on Its Back in Florida” HERE)

Kevin McCarthy Claims President Trump Said He Bears Some Responsibility for Capitol Riot

/0 Comments/in , /by

House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) said during a call with House Republicans Monday night that President Donald Trump told him he bears some of the responsibility for the Washington, DC riots.

A source with knowledge of the matter confirmed to Breitbart News regarding McCarthy’s conversation with House Republicans.

The subsequent chaos from the Capitol building riots led to calls for Trump’s ouster from both Republicans and Democrats.

Republicans such as Sens. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) and Pat Toomey (R-PA) have called for Trump to resign from office.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) subsequently called for Vice President Mike Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove Trump from office. After Pence would not remove the president, Pelosi and House Democrats have moved to draft Articles of Impeachment against Trump.

‘Snowflakes’ Want Trump Scene Removed From Classic Movie (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

In the novel 1984, whenever the Ministry of Truth wanted to destroy or rewrite history, it was the job of party members at the Ministry of Truth to make the necessary modifications and then destroy the original documents by shoving them into a memory hole where they are incinerated.

In the year 2021, tolerant liberals are calling for Donald Trump to be digitally removed from Home Alone 2: Lost In New York, in which he has a brief cameo when Kevin McAllister, played by Macauley Culkin, asks him for directions to the lobby in the Plaza Hotel in New York City, which Trump owned at the time the movie was filmed.

The Left has been triggered by Trump’s movie cameos for some time now, but since he got banned from Facebook and Twitter, the Left seems to be pursuing all sorts of Orwellian measures as if they want to erase Trump from history and eventually, memory.

CBC TV in Canada has already cut Trump’s cameo from its annual broadcast of the movie. According to the network, the scene “was edited to allow for commercial time within the format,” which the network had been doing since 2014. But, false claims that Trump incited an insurrection at the U.S. Capitol have ignited calls for Trump’s removal from the movie.

Wood then switched to Parler, the ‘free speech platform’, to continue his rant.

‘Get the firing squad ready,’ he posted. ‘Pence goes FIRST.’ . . .

U.S. Media’s ‘Baseless’ Claims About Election Integrity Exposed

/0 Comments/in , /by

Establishment media, who have attacked President Trump since before his election with bogus claims such as Russia collusion, have insisted his charge of election fraud is “baseless.”

But there’s a reason more than 100 state legislators from the battleground states of Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Arizona and Georgia sent a last-minute letter Tuesday to Vice President Mike Pence asking for 10 days to investigate further because they don’t have confidence that Joe Biden won their state.

Just the News reported their letter “includes a massive index of evidence of irregularities, some of which have been validated by court rulings, official government documents or sworn affidavits.”

The news outlet said it worked with more than three dozen journalists across the country for eight weeks investigating claims of irregularities
