Capitol protests won't stop Trump's
'America First' agenda: Ric Grenell
Posted By: OhioNick, 1/8/2021 4:03:30 PM
Following the Capitol Hill riots and a slew of Trump administration officials resigning, Ric Grenell, former U.S. Ambassador to Germany, told FOX Business he's "very proud" of President Trump's achievements, especially his "America First" agenda. "I don't think you're ever going to put that issue back in a bottle. I think it's been unleashed," the former Acting Director of National Intelligence told host Neil Cavuto on "Cavuto: Coast to Coast," adding "I don't think that that's ever going to go away." "The American people now are so much more cognizant of what matters when it comes to foreign policy and national security. They're much more engaged."

'It's not over' 7 replies
Actor Jon Voight released a video calling for unity following Donald Trump's acknowledgment he will relinquish the presidency later this month. [SNIP] "My fellow Americans," Voight began his video message. "We shall not weep, but let us give thanks to President Trump for his four years of hard work and love for America. Let us not put our heads down, let us rise and look to a better future. Let us praise God. Let us understand that His plan is far greater."
The Vienna government will be holding a security meeting next week following a riot in a migrant-populated district on New Year’s Eve that saw a Christmas tree set on fire by Muslims.
The rioting took place at Reumannplatz in the heavily-migrant populated Favoriten district of the Austrian capital and saw a Christmas tree set on fire by members of a group of around 40 rioters along with various shops in the area having their windows smashed. [SNIP] According to Austrian newspaper Heute, one of the suspects gave investigators the reason that the Christmas tree was set on fire as “A Christmas tree does not belong in a Muslim district.”
Only white artists were nominated for Best Children’s Album — and three of them have asked to be taken off the ballot. Artists of color in children’s music are fed up with the genre’s homogeneity: “It’s like being served a baked potato with fries and hash browns on the side,” says one black artist. [SNIP] “The Grammy Awards are the pinnacle. But they’re a part of this system that has been built with white superiority in mind, like all of our other systems in this country.”
A group of House Republicans who voted to accept President-elect Joe Biden’s Electoral College victory asked him to persuade Speaker Nancy Pelosi to back off impeaching Donald Trump for instigating Wednesday’s riot at the U.S. Capitol. The lawmakers, led by Representative Ken Buck of Colorado, warned in a letter to Biden on Saturday that Trump’s impeachment would inflame his supporters anew, and damage Biden’s efforts to unify the country.
“In the spirit of healing and fidelity to our Constitution, we ask that you formally request that Speaker Nancy Pelosi discontinue her efforts to impeach President Donald J. Trump a second time,” the wrote.
Following Wednesday's violence at the US Capitol, Ohio Sen. Sherrod Brown is calling for Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz to resign.
Brown said if they do not resign, the Senate "must expel them."
In a tweet, Brown said Hawley and Cruz "have betrayed their oaths of office and abetted a violent insurrection on our democracy."
The third-ranking Democrat in the U.S. Senate, Sen. Patty Murray, also called for Hawley and Cruz to resign, saying their objections to the certification of President-elect Joe Biden’s victory “incited and supported the violent mob that attacked the Capitol.”
What a difference a year makes. Last year, former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick tweeted praise for the ongoing violent riots that were gripping the country at the time. He stayed on Twitter and even got a $3 million donation from Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey. This week, President Trump was kicked off Twitter for good for allegedly inciting violence among his supporters before they stormed the U.S. Capitol. The contrast gained immediate attention. [SNIP] In one 2020 tweet highlighted by the site, Kaepernick said of the destructive demonstrations occurring across the country: "When civility leads to death, revolting is the only logical reaction."
The New York City man who joined a mob that breached the US Capitol was seen leaving his home Friday for the first time since he was revealed to be the son of a prominent Brooklyn judge.
Aaron Mostofsky — who sported a wacky fur costume inside the breached building as he griped about a “stolen election” — was caught on camera leaving his home while carrying a suit on a hanger and a plastic bag.
Mostofsky, the son of Brooklyn Supreme Court judge Shlomo Mostofsky, a well-known figure in the Orthodox Jewish community, was apparently still a free man Friday afternoon — as other protesters who stormed the building were arrested.

Newsweek logo Donald Trump Block Shows Twitter 'Must Not Like Democracy,' Says Parler CEO John Matze
The CEO of Parler, a social media platform favored by conservatives, has said Twitter's blocking of Donald Trump suggests it "must not like democracy." John Matze—who co-founded the website in 2018—made the comment on Thursday in response to the president's daughter, Tiffany Trump, who shared a statement released by her father that pledged an "orderly transition" to Joe Biden later this month.

The FBI’s Washington Field Office released a surveillance photo on Thursday of a person suspected of leaving pipe bombs near both the Republican and Democratic National Committee headquarters on Wednesday.
The grainy images does not have much detail, as the suspect is wearing a hooded sweatshirt and mask at the time the photo was taken.
The incidents happened as supporters of President Donald Trump stormed the US Capitol and rioted as members of Congress counted the Electoral College votes.
The FBI said there is a $50,000 reward for information that would lead to the location, arrest, and conviction of the suspect.
A small group of House lawmakers came close to physically fighting early Thursday morning as the congressional count of electoral votes stretched into the wee hours and a Pennsylvania Democrat charged that Republicans had been telling “lies” about his state’s votes. Rep. Morgan Griffiths, R-Va., objected after Rep. Conor Lamb, D-Pa., said a breach of the Capitol by an angry mob earlier in the day was “inspired by lies, the same lies you are hearing in this room tonight.”

Attack on 74,000,000 Trump Voters — GOP SILENT 62 replies
Big tech has launched an unprecedented and coordinated cyber attack on President Donald Trump and his 74,000,000 voters.
As this was happening — the GOP was dead silent.
On Friday, Twitter permanently banned hundreds, if not thousands, of Trump supporters and prominent allies — before banning the president himself. Nearly every account that helped to promote the Stop the Steal rallies or challenge the election results were banned, including Ali Alexander, Michael Coudrey, Gen. Mike Flynn, Sidney Powell, and Lin Wood. Countless smaller accounts that supported the president were also getting suspended in a seemingly constant rate.
The same has been happening over on Facebook and Instagram.

On Saturday, it was reported that Vice President Mike Pence and his wife Karen will attend the inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden on Wednesday, January 20.(Tweet) Breaking with a tradition that has been uninterrupted since the inauguration of President Ulysses S. Grant in 1868, President Trump tweeted on Friday that he would not attend the inauguration, writing, “To all of those who have asked, I will not be going to the Inauguration on January 20th.”Three presidents have openly refused to attend their successor’s inaugurations: John Adams in 1801, John Quincy Adams in 1829, and Andrew Johnson in 1869.

During a portion of an interview set to air on Sunday’s broadcast of CBS’ “60 Minutes” that was released Friday, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said that President Donald Trump is a “deranged, unhinged, dangerous” president of the United States. Pelosi said, “Well, sadly, the person who’s running the executive branch is a deranged, unhinged, dangerous president of the United States, and only a number of days until we can be protected from him. But he has done something so serious that there should be prosecution against him.”Pelosi added that invoking the 25th Amendment is still on the table

President-elect Joe Biden said on Twitter Saturday that President Trump is "not above the law," after the House announced it would be bringing articles of impeachment on Monday. "Our president is not above the law," Biden wrote. "Justice serves the people — it doesn’t protect the powerful." But the president-elect has stopped short of calling for Trump’s impeachment. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., called on the president to "immediately" resign. She said alternatively, Vice President Mike Pence could invoke the 25th Amendment, or else she promised the president would be impeached in the House. CORRECTION*

Georgia will elect Republican senators if the state’s legislature “shuts the door on future election fraud,” Rep. Jody Hice (R-GA) told Breitbart News on Friday’s edition of SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Daily with special guest host Matt Boyle.
Hice said some Republican voters abstained from voting in Tuesday’s runoff U.S. Senate elections in Georgia due to distrust in election integrity.
“It was a high turnout for a runoff election,” he remarked. “It was a significantly high turnout. Now there were some [Republican voters] who did not turn out, because of their lack of confidence that it was going to be a secure vote, and that has to be addressed.”

When two scorpions in a bottle get into a fight, there's plenty of potential for the whole thing to get funny
So enter Vogue Magazine, and Kamala Harris, with Kamala played for the fool.
The solidly pro-Democrat media tool took a cover photoshoot of Harris, and in line with standard collaborative media-political practices, agreed upon a photo for the cover issue, something about Kamala in a powder blue suit.
But Vogue couldn't help itself. After making its agreement with Harris, it ran instead this cover, with Harris looking like a clown in a suit, complete with junky tennis shoes.
WASHINGTON—Democrats’ momentum for a fresh drive to quickly impeach outgoing President Donald Trump gained support Saturday, and a top Republican said the president’s role in the deadly riot at the Capitol by a violent mob of Trump supporters was worthy of rebuke.Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Pa., said he believed Trump had committed “impeachable offenses.” But he did not explicitly say whether he would vote to remove the president from office at the conclusion of a Senate trial if the House sent over articles of impeachment.“I don’t know what they are going to send over and one of the things that I’m concerned about, frankly, is whether
CNN’s Anderson Cooper on Friday clarified a seemingly elitist remark he made earlier this week, suggesting the U.S. Capitol rioters were the type of people who might patronize Olive Garden. Many perceived it as condescending to both Trump supporters and the popular restaurant chain. "Look at them, they’re high-fiving each other for this deplorable display of completely unpatriotic, completely against law-and-order, completely unconstitutional behavior. It’s stunning," Cooper said on his show "AC360."
The planning for Wednesday’s assault on the U. S. Capitol happened largely in plain view, with chatters in far-right forums explicitly discussing how to storm the building, handcuff lawmakers with zip ties, and disrupt the certification of Joe Biden’s election — in what they portrayed as responding to orders from President Trump. They went far beyond the widely reported, angry talk about thronging Washington that day. Trump supporters exchanged detailed, tactical advice about what to bring and what to do once they assembled at the Capitol to conduct ‘‘citizen’s arrests’’ of members of Congress. One poster said, ‘’[expletive]’’ zip ties. I’m bringing rope!’’
