They got away with cheating in November – now what?

Filed Under: INVESTIGATIONS, WND

Why did Democrats cheat in the 2020 elections? For control. Saul Alinsky: the end justifies the means. This was their only chance to stop the America First movement of Trump, to take control of the Senate, to “cancel” those who oppose them, to rewrite history – just as all totalitarian governments do. So Democrats cheated.

The 2020 election was their only chance to stack the deck against average working Americans. Statehood for D.C. and Puerto Rico to gain four more Democrat senators; pack the Supreme Court by expanding its size; pass election laws that guarantee more and more Democrats get elected; use stimulus money to bail out cities mismanaged by Democrats for the last 40 years; citizenship for illegal immigrants; more immigrants pouring over the border; increase government workers and families who then join SEIU and NEA and are dependent on government paychecks (now one-quarter of all American workers).

How could the GOP be so stupid to allow the cheating to happen unchallenged? The cheating brought about the defeat of Trump, two GOP senators from Georgia and Republican John James in Michigan. Why did total voting across the USA increase 20% in 2020? Election fraud, ballot harvesting, electronic ballot box stuffing, voting machine manipulations. What will ever reverse what Democrats do now?

European countries banned mail-in voting while the U.S. allows it. Even during COVID. Because it affords fraud. As per Supreme Court Justice Thomas: In Pennsylvania alone, mail-in ballots increased from 4% in 2016 to 38% of the total in 2020. The possibility of fraud from that much increase is huge. The same was true for Arizona, Georgia, Virginia, Wisconsin, Michigan and North Carolina. And now Pelosi and Democrats are passing legislation to make unsolicited mail-out of ballots standard, allow voting without registering, stop the purging of dead and relocated people from voter rolls, expand voting time frame and disallow voter ID. Unsolicited mail-out of ballots was supposed to be only because of COVID. They lied. More ballot harvesting. More illegal voters. More irregularities.

How can the federal government pass legislation that tells the states how to run their elections as Democrats proposed in H.R. 1? The Constitution is clear that states run their elections, just as it is clear that those changes to 2020 election processes without permission by state legislatures was unconstitutional. Or are Democrats betting that the Supreme Court will figure out how to punt about this also just as it refused to look at 2020 election violations or how Chief Justice Roberts justified Obamacare?

If Democrats pull this off, then eventually the United States will become a two-tiered economic system (the rich and the socialized mass) with one political party in control (for all practical purposes), where the majority of Americans receive their income from government as employees or under contracts to government or as direct income from the government (Social Security, unemployment, stimulus checks, supplements) just as in China, Cuba and Venezuela – all because Republicans, the media, the Justice Department, the FBI and courts allowed Democrats to get away with cheating in the 2020 election.

A top FBI counterterrorism official testified on Wednesday that no firearms were recovered during arrests of rioters who breached the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.

“How many firearms were confiscated in the Capitol or on Capitol grounds during that day?” Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson asked Jill Sanborn, the FBI official, during a Senate Homeland Security hearing.

“To my knowledge, we have not recovered any on that day from any other arrests at the scene at this point,” replied Sanborn, who serves as FBI assistant director for counterterrorism.

“I don’t want to speak on behalf of Metro and Capitol police, but, to my knowledge, none,” she added.

Sanborn also said that no shots were fired at the Capitol, save for the one fired by a police officer that killed Ashli Babbit, an Air Force veteran from California.

“I believe that the only shots that were fired were the ones that resulted in the death of the lady,” Sanborn testified, referring to Babbit.

Babbit was shot while attempting to enter a restricted area of the Capitol.

Johnson noted that more than 300 people have been charged in connection with the riots, 40 of which have been charged with assault.

Sanborn said that nobody at the Capitol has faced weapons charges, though a firearm was recovered from a van containing Molotov cocktails that was found near the Capitol.

Though no firearms were recovered, dozens of police officers were injured during the Capitol attack. Videos posted online show rioters using a variety of other weapons during confrontations with police officers.

One Capitol police officer, Brian Sicknick, died during the melee, though the cause of death has not been officially released.

CNN, MSNBC Pretend There’s a ‘Night & Day’ Difference Between Trump & Biden on Vaccines

Filed Under: INVESTIGATIONS, Newsbusters

CNN and MSNBC spent most of 2020 raining fire on Team Trump’s incompetence on COVID. They even rained fire on the idea that vaccines could be ready before the end of 2020. Ooooops.

Now they can barely stand the idea that Operation Warp Speed lived up to its name, as exemplified by Mika Brzezinski on today’s Morning Joe.

Mika gushed [“wow, wow, incredible”] over President Biden’s announcement that by the end of May there’d be enough coronavirus vaccine for all adults in the U.S. She proclaimed “Joe, it’s night and day, this administration compared to the last.” Scarborough agreed: Well, it certainly is in terms of logistics.” But then he had the honesty to mention:

“The Trump administration did implement Operation Warp Speed. We moved towards a vaccine with extraordinary speed.”

But no sooner had the words “Warp Speed” left Joe’s lips, than Mika responded with a disgusted “ugh” and eye roll. Brzezinski did stop short of waving a string of garlic bulbs to ward off the evil orange spirit.

Making amends for his praise of Trump’s Warp Speed, Scarborough doubled down on Trump’s “horrific” logistics on the vaccine, while praising the Biden administration in that regard. Um, how does Dr. Fauci fit in here? He was incompetent then, and a superhero now? 

Mika would surely have been happier with CNN’s handling of the matter. After spending 2020 in a perpetual “doom scroll” of terrible and even more terrible news on the handling of coronavirus, New Day co-host John Berman hailed Biden’s announcement like he had parted the Red Sea of COVID.

BERMAN: After all we’ve been through the last year, it really would be a miracle. And now it may be! And a lot sooner than thought!….If it all happens as planned, it really will be a remarkable achievement!

Notably, there was not a word about The Operation Whose Name Must Not Be Mentioned. Dare we say it? Warp Speed!

Mika Brzezinski expressing disgust at Joe Scarborough’s mention of the Trump administration’s Operation Warp Speed was sponsored in part by United Health Care, Sandals Resorts, and DirecTV.

Here’s the transcript.

MNSBC
Morning Joe
3/3/21
6:96 am ET

MIKA BRZEZINSKI: President Joe Biden announced yesterday that the U.S. will have enough Covid vaccine for every adult by the end of May: two months earlier than expected.

JOE BIDEN: We’re now on track to have enough vaccine supply for every adult in America by the end of May. 

. . . 

MIKA: Wow. Wow. The White House also officially announced the news that broke at the end of our show yesterday that the administration is using its powers under the Defense Production Act to help drug maker Merck produce Johnson & Johnson’s newly approved one-shot vaccine.

JOE SCARBOROUGH: Well, it certainly is in terms of logistics. 

MIKA: Yes!

SCARBOROUGH: You look at the last administration, and the Trump administration did implement Operation Warp Speed —

MIKA: [disgusted sigh and eye roll] Ugh. 

SCARBOROUGH: We moved towards a vaccine, and moved towards a vaccine with extraordinarily, with extraordinary speed. 

By the time the Biden administration finally got in there, they understood they had the possibility of getting these vaccinations out to everybody. But obviously, the president was horrific — President Trump was horrific when it came to logistics. His team was just terrible when it came to logistics. 

They understood that and immediately started working quickly. And Claire McCaskill, because of Operation Warp Speed in the last administration and because of Joe Biden’s team actually being filled with professionals, people who understand logistics and more interested in performance than just gestures, they’re going to get these vaccines out to every single American by the end of May. That’s remarkable —

MIKA: Incredible.

SCARBOROUGH: And means, you know what? We may just have something approaching a normal summer.

Elizabeth Warren Abandons McKinsey Disclosure Demands

Filed Under: INVESTIGATIONS, Washington Free Beacon

During the 2020 Democratic primaries, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.) was unrelenting on her demand that Pete Buttigieg reveal who his clients were when he worked for consulting giant McKinsey & Company. Beating the drum that people need “to know about possible conflicts of interest,” Warren persuaded her political rival to release his client list just as he moved to the top of the Iowa polls.

Warren’s dedication to digging into former work at McKinsey appears, however, to have ended with the close of her political spat with Buttigieg. On Tuesday morning, neither Warren nor any of her colleagues on the Senate Banking Committee raised questions about Biden nominee Rohit Chopra’s past work for McKinsey as they evaluated his qualifications to lead the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB).

Recent Stories in Biden Administration

Warren is far from a rival of Chopra, who worked with Warren to establish the CFPB and has been described as one of her “acolytes.” Before his work for the consumer protection agency, though, he was a consultant for McKinsey, where according to the Washington Post he worked on financial issues, including student debt and consumer credit markets. His LinkedIn page says his work at McKinsey was on financial services and technology. His financial disclosure forms make no mention of his McKinsey work or any of his clients.

Warren did not respond to requests for comment on her lack of interest in Chopra’s McKinsey work. She praised Chopra during the Tuesday morning hearing, saying, “I have no doubt that you are the right person to lead the bureau at this moment.”

During his first stint at the CFPB, Chopra was hired by Warren herself to work as its student loan ombudsman. In the years since, Warren has taken keen interest in advancing his political career. In 2015 she praised Chopra, at the time still working at CFPB, as “smart as a whip, independent, hard-working, and loaded with integrity,” and recommended him to head New York’s powerful department of financial services.

Chopra was not nominated for the position, instead moving on to a short stint in the Obama administration’s Department of Education. He has since worked as a senior fellow at Neera Tanden’s Center for American Progress, on Hillary Clinton’s ultimately unnecessary 2016 transition team, and for the past three years as a Democratic commissioner at the Federal Trade Commission.

Republicans have homed in on Chopra’s ties to Warren, characterizing the pair as two ideological peas in a pod. Rep. Patrick McHenry (R., N.C.), the House Financial Services Committee’s top Republican, said Chopra’s nomination “will make Elizabeth Warren very happy” and called the decision “proof that the Biden team is pandering to members of the far-left who want to weaponize the CFPB to go after financial services companies they simply don’t like.”

Neither the White House nor Chopra responded to requests for comment about his client list at McKinsey.

News anchor: It’s ‘revisionism’ to deny Capitol riot was armed insurrection

Filed Under: INVESTIGATIONS, WND

CNN host John Berman said Tuesday that denying that the Capitol riot was an armed insurrection is a type of “revisionism.”

“It’s happening on opinion television, Tucker Carlson and his show fantasy island last night, questioning whether or not what we saw happen actually happened, saying that it wasn’t an armed insurrection, saying that it wasn’t white supremacists, there were no white supremacists involved with that,” Berman said on CNN’s “New Day.”

“How do you deal with that type of revisionism? And what are the dangers of that line of thinking?” Berman asked Democratic Michigan Sen. Gary Peters.

WATCH:

“Well, it’s clearly dangerous. And it’s clearly outrageous. I lived it. There were a lot of folks who lived that, were in the Capitol that day. We have folks who have died. We have folks who have been injured severely, our Capitol police folks,” Peters told Berman.

A mob of people breached the Capitol building on Jan. 6 during a protest that quickly turned into a violent riot against the Electoral College’s certification of the presidential election results. The Senate is starting their bipartisan hearings on Tuesday over the security measures that failed to contain the riot, according to The New York Times.

The meeting, comprised of two Senate committees, will consist of lawmaker interviews with officials who were tasked to secure the Capitol, the Times reported. Officers who responded to the riot included members from the United States Capitol Police and the Metropolitan Police Department.

Peters said that information gathered from arrests and video footage make it clear that extremist groups played a large role in the outbreak of violence at the Capitol.

“So it is just outrageous to hear those types of comments. And it really ignores the fact that this is a problem. We have a serious threat. We also have a serious threat from violent extremist groups,” Peters said. “It’s something that I’m gonna focus a great deal on as the chairman of homeland security committee, as the rise of white supremacy and other extremist groups.”

“This is a real threat. We have to address it with the seriousness that it deserves. And putting out this false information undermines homeland security,” Peters said, adding that this train of thought was “undermining the security of this country.”

35 Capitol Police officers under investigation in Jan. 6 incident

Filed Under: INVESTIGATIONS, WND

Videos of police officers allowing or even encouraging people to enter the Capitol grounds during the Jan. 6 incident have been perplexing to many, and now 35 Capitol Police officers are under investigation for their actions on that day.

Six have been suspended without pay, and anyone whose actions are found to be unacceptable on Jan. 6 will be disciplined, department spokesman John Stolnis said in a statement Thursday.

Lawmakers and other Capitol Police officers have asked why the force was unprepared. The acting Capitol Police chief, Yogananda D. Pittman, said in a closed door hearing last month that she was aware two days before the event that there was “strong potential for violence.”

The Wall Street Journal reported several congressional committees also are investigating, and two Senate committees will hold a hearing Tuesday. A House committee will hold a hearing next week with Pittman and the acting House sergeant at arms.

‘It’s your house now’
In one of many viral videos, officers are seen standing along a doorway almost motionless as people file into the Capitol, reported the Fox affiliate in Washington, D.C.

Two accused rioters testified to the FBI that a Capitol Police officer told them, “It’s your house now.”

One officer suspended took a selfie with someone, according to lawmakers.

Another video shows officers removing a barrier to allow protesters to enter the grounds.

See the video: 

A video posted to YouTube shows Capitol Police Lt. Tarik Khalid Johnson wearing a red “Make America Great Again” hat while talking to several supporters of then-President Trump.

Johnson, who has since been suspended, is seen giving his megaphone to a protester before saying, “I’ll follow you.”

See the video:

Last month, the Wall Street Journal reported Johnson claimed he put on the cap to gain the protesters’ trust. His ultimate aim, he said, was to make his way through the crowd and into the building to save his fellow officers.

Retraction
More than 250 people have been charged by the Justice Department for storming the Capitol. Trump was impeached by the Democratic-controlled House on a charge of inciting an insurrection but was acquitted by the Senate.

The official death toll in the incident was five, including veteran Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick.

However, three died of “medical emergencies,” and one was a protester, Ashli Babbit, who was shot by police as she attempted to enter the Speaker’s Lobby inside the Capitol.

And now investigators who sought to build a federal murder case in Sicknick’s death have determined that initial reports alleging he was struck with a fire extinguisher by Trump supporter aren’t true, CNN reported.

Veteran investigative journalist Glenn Greenwald wants to know why the media spent “an entire month definitively affirming what appears to be a completely false story about the only person said to have been killed by the Capitol mob: Officer Brian Sicknick.”
