Giuliani Says Trump Owes It to MAGA Movement to Declassify Everything

/1 Comment/in , /by

Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani said President Donald Trump owes it to his supporters to declassify everything before he leaves office.

Giuliani, Trump’s personal attorney, told former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon on a podcast Friday that the president ought to go on a reclassification spree because there’s “no longer any reason to try to create some kind of harmony.”

“At many times, I thought he was ready to do it, and many times it was blocked by, I have to assume, the force that we now call the ‘deep state,’” Giuliani said.

“I think he owes it, not just to MAGA, he owes it to the American people to put it out,” Giuliani said. (Read more from “Giuliani Says Trump Owes It to MAGA Movement to Declassify Everything” HERE)

Elon Musk Tweets Meme Blaming Facebook for U.S. Capitol Riot

/0 Comments/in , /by

SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk has tweeted a meme that suggests Facebook is in part to blame for supporters of President Donald Trump storming the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday. . .

Musk shared an image of a man setting off a chain of white dominos, which is known as the Domino Effect or Slippery Slope meme. The image is used to signify how a seemingly insignificant event can go on to have big consequences.

Referring to Facebook’s origins in Facemash, a website that allowed students at Harvard to rate women’s looks, the text box beside the smallest domino reads: “A website to rate women on campus.”

The text box by the largest domino features a message from New York Times journalist Mark Leibovich on the newspaper’s live stream from Congress, reading: “The Capitol seems to be under the control of a man in a viking hat.”

The New ‘Highly Contagious’ COVID Strain Might Not Even Exist

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .Now, as we deal with new strains of COVID in South Africa and the United Kingdom, the White House COVID task force decided to drum up some scares by suggesting the latest spike in the US could be due to a US-based variant. The good news here is that the new UK/South Africa strains aren’t any more lethal. They’re more contagious, but the lethality hasn’t increased. It doesn’t make you any sicker. Also, there appears to be no US variant at all. The data doesn’t suggest that. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention had to smack down this floated theory (via NYT):

Reports of a highly contagious new variant in the United States, published on Friday by multiple news outlets, are based on speculative statements made by Dr. Deborah Birx and are inaccurate, according to several government officials.

The erroneous report originated at a recent meeting where Dr. Birx, a member of the White House coronavirus task force, presented graphs of the escalating cases in the country. She suggested to other members of the task force that a new, more transmissible variant originating in the U.S. might explain the surge, as another variant did in Britain.

Her hypothesis made it into a weekly report sent to state governors. “This fall/winter surge has been at nearly twice the rate of rise of cases as the spring and summer surges. This acceleration suggests there may be a USA variant that has evolved here, in addition to the UK variant that is already spreading in our communities and may be 50% more transmissible,” the report read. “Aggressive mitigation must be used to match a more aggressive virus.”

Dismayed, officials at the C.D.C. tried to have the speculative statements removed, but were unsuccessful, according to three people familiar with the events.

Dominion Sues Sidney Powell for $1.3 Billion

/0 Comments/in , /by

Attorney Sidney Powell on Friday was sued for defamation by Dominion Voting Systems for $1.3 billion for alleging the company’s tabulating machines were used to flip votes from President Trump to Joe Biden.

Dominion CEO John Poulos said on a call with reporters Friday morning that the “recent attacks on the democratic process are not singular or isolated events.”

“They are the result of a deliberate and malicious campaign of lies over many months,” he said, according to The Hill. “Sidney Powell and others created and disseminated these lies, assisted and amplified by a range of media platforms.”

Powell said via Twitter on Friday that Dominion’s suit “is baseless & filed to harass, intimidate, & to drain our resources as we seek the truth of #DominionVotingSystems’ role in this fraudulent election.”

“We will not be cowed in exercising our 1st Amendment rights or seeking truth,” she said. (Read more from “Dominion Sues Sidney Powell for $1.3 Billion” HERE)

Report: White House Counsel Warning Staffers That Donald Trump Could Be Charged With Treason

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

The White House’s top lawyer is reportedly warning staffers not to contact Donald Trump over fears that they could join him in being charged with treason, a report claims.

Vanity Fair reported that there was panic among staffers after violence broke out at the U.S. Capitol as angry supporters of the president stormed the building, forcing members of Congress to go into hiding. Some of them feared that they could be implicated in a coup to overthrow the government, and were advised to steer clear of Trump.

“The West Wing staffer told the friend that White House Counsel Pat Cipollone was urging White House officials not to speak to Trump or enable his coup attempt in any way, so they could reduce the chance they could be prosecuted for treason under the Sedition Act,” the outlet noted.

Four Texas Congressmen Stayed With the Police to Defend the Chamber, Congressman Says

/0 Comments/in , /by

Republican Texas Rep. Pat Fallon said Wednesday that several Texas freshmen congressmen stayed behind to defend the House chamber as rioters stormed the United States Capitol.

Fallon described watching “courage personified” when D.C. police entered the House chamber Wednesday and alerted lawmakers that the U.S. Capitol building had been breached. The congressman, who did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the Daily Caller News Foundation, said that Republican Texas congressmen Tony Gonzales, Ronny Jackson, and Troy Nehls were present.

I JUST SAW COURAGE PERSONIFIED!!
We were in the middle of debate when the Capitol Police came into the chamber and…

Posted by Fallon For Texas on Wednesday, January 6, 2021

“At first they wanted us to remain in our seats in the House Chamber,” Fallon wrote in a Facebook post. “The breach must have gotten worse because they started to evacuate. Then the mob literally reached the doors of the House Chamber and the Police were short handed and I AM SO PROUD that Rep Tony Gonzalez, Rep Ronny Jackson, Rep Troy Nehls didn’t hesitate!!!”

“We augmented the Police and stood our ground,” he continued. “We will never be intimated by any mob, regardless of their motivations.”

Fallon said that when the mob of President Donald Trump’s supporters reached the doors of the House chamber, “there was visible concern on everyones faces,” but the lawmakers “stood our ground.” (Read more from “Four Texas Congressmen Stayed With the Police to Defend the Chamber, Congressman Says” HERE)

Rep. Cori Bush (D-Mo.) has introduced a resolution to have the Republican members of the House who supported contesting battleground states’ electors in Wednesday’s joint session of Congress be investigated and potentially removed from office. . .

The chaos led to lawmakers and members being trapped inside the Capitol, resulting in the mobilization of the D.C., Virginia and Maryland national guards. D.C.’s mayor also issued a 6 p.m. curfew for the city.

“I believe the Republican members of Congress who have incited this domestic terror attack through their attempts to overturn the election must face consequences,” the progressive lawmaker tweeted. “They have broken their sacred Oath of Office. I will be introducing a resolution calling for their expulsion.”
