Posted By: Drastic, 5/22/2021 4:51:58 PM
Sen. Ron Johnson suggests that the vast majority of people who were at the Capitol on January 6 were peacefully protesting and in a "jovial mood." Back in March Johnson also said he didn't feel threatened by the protesters, but he would have if BLM or Antifa was involved, per report on ABC: Johnson, a Republican, told a Wisconsin Radio show host that he was not concerned for his safety during the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, which left five dead, but that he may have been if the protesters had been linked to those groups.

Former President Donald Trump will start holding rallies again next month, the New York Post reported, as he continues to hint at a potential 2024 run.
A source told the Post that two rallies were being planned in June, while a third would take place around the July 4 holiday.
Trump remains a popular Republican candidate for a 2024 run within the GOP and he has tightened his grip on the party since his impeachment trial. He has the support of senior Republican lawmakers including Sen. Mitch McConnell, the Senate minori.
“Fox & Friends” co-host Brian Kilmeade said Monday he believes that Dr. Anthony Fauci has known from the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic that it was created in a lab in Wuhan, China after the nation’s lead immunologist refused to dismiss the possibility over the weekend.
Earlier this month during an event sponsored by the Poynter Institute, Fauci, who is also the Biden administration’s chief coronavirus medical adviser, was asked about whether he was confident COVID-19 developed naturally.
“No actually. I am not convinced about that. I think we should continue to investigate what went on in China..."

Organization' - says she always wanted to

BLM co-founder Patrisse Cullors had once referred to police as a "terrorist organization" and says she always wanted to fight them. Cullors said this back in 2015 while she was "speaking to students at King's College London as part of the Ferguson Solidarity Tour of the UK." Patrisse Cullors said: “I joined organization when I was 17 years old, and I remember the first thing I said to the organization was “do you fight police?” That’s what I wanted to do. I always knew I wanted to fight police. They were the single most, sort of, terrorist organization in my life, and I wanted to know how to fight them.” CORRECTION*

Folks on the left have been freaking out at Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) for criticizing the “woke ad” put out by the military.
As we reported, Cruz cited a video contrasting the “wokeness” ad with the Russian military ad.
So, some in the media and on the left accused Cruz of “attacking the military” — as opposed to attacking the harmful attack that Democratic policies have wrought and the harmful signals that they are sending out to countries like Russia and China who might decide to challenge us.
A Sunday school teacher was arrested at Thursday night’s Timberlane Regional School Board meeting moments after she and several other unmasked attendees showed up to demand an end to a school mask mandate.
The meeting was planned to be held in person at the district’s Performing Arts Center, but board Chairwoman Kimberly Farah quickly shut it down before it began and required that it be held remotely.
“I didn’t want to jeopardize the health of the staff and the students,” Farah said as several Plaistow police officers and state police troopers swarmed inside and outside the auditorium.
The White House Council of Economic Advisers deleted its entire internship page after the Daily Caller News Foundation reported that the office offered exclusively unpaid positions despite calling for a higher federal minimum wage.
The Council of Economic Advisers (CEA), which crafts the Biden administration’s economic policies, deleted all mention of its internship program sometime between Thursday and Friday afternoon. The webpage where the unpaid internships were posted currently shows an error message and its general “work for us” page no longer mentions the internship program.
Democrat Mayor Lightfoot will only do one-on-one interviews with Black or Brown journalists
21 replies
Reporters out of Chicago are alleging that Democratic Mayor Lori Lightfoot is now granting interviews only to journalists of color.
NBC 5 Chicago political reporter Mary Ann Ahern took to Twitter on Tuesday to mark the "midway point" of Lightfoot's first term in office and apparently acknowledged her failed effort to land an interview.
"As @chicagosmayor reaches her two year midway point as mayor, her spokeswoman says Lightfoot is granting 1 on 1 interviews - only to Black or Brown journalists," Ahern tweeted.
In a House hearing on Wednesday on Examining Emergent BioSolutions' Failure to Protect Public Health and Public Funds, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) called for a full investigation into the origins of COVID-19, which emerged from Wuhan, China, early in 2020 and spread across the world at breakneck speed.
"Where did this thing start?" Jordan asked a question that Americans have been now asking for well over a year. "Did it jump from an animal to humans? Or was it a leak from from a lab? A lab in Wuhan, China? The American people would probably like to know. After all, they've had their liberties assaulted for the past year."

The Democratic Rep. who allegedly farted on television got into a verbal altercation with an aide for Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene. That would be Eric Swalwell and he addressed the situation on TV.
MSNBC posted: "After leaving the House floor, an aide to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene yelled at Rep. Eric Swalwell to take his mask off. Swalwell said he has had enough of Greene's "marauding goons" who try to "terrorize" his colleagues in Congress."
Swalwell posted on social media: "I had a mask on as I stepped off the Floor. An aide with @mtgreenee yelled at me to take my mask off...."
Penn State has announced that they will move away from their "male-centric academic history" by banning all language that refers to gender.
The Penn State Senate Committee on Curricular Affairs has approved a motion entitled, "Removal of Gendered & Binary Terms from Course and Program Descriptions." Under the motion, Penn State will scrap titles such as "Freshman" through to "Senior" and remove all language including "he/him/his and she/her/hers.
Former first lady Michelle Obama was acting like she was oppressed in a recent video.
Candace Owens just absolutely unloads on the rich and wealthy Obama family who is clearly doing better than many others.
Owens points out several hilarious points and even Tucker started laughing, such as the Obama's having Secret Service around them and not even turning their own doorknobs. Owens slams Michelle Obama for using her skin color to act like she's oppressed and for her to send some of that rich and wealthy oppression to the rest of us.

Scott Thatcher and his wife Angela were born in California and love the sun-kissed Golden State. But two months ago they sold their home, packed up their belongings and travelled 1,700 miles with their three sons to start a new life in Texas.Despite earning good salaries with secure jobs as a driver and a nurse, the family’s combined income of about $140,000 (£99,000) a year was not enough to prosper in their town of Modesto, about 90 minutes east of San Francisco.‘We were surviving but not thriving,’ said Scott, 35. ‘We were getting by but it felt like we would never really get ahead.’The pandemic was the final straw \
From the beginning of COVID's outbreak in China, there's been a steady drumbeat of information saying the Chinese created COVID in a lab and, accidentally or on purpose, unleashed it on the world. The World Health Organization, the Democrats, the Deep State, and the tech tyrants managed to suppress that information in 2020, but it's roared back this year. Tucker Carlson put the pieces together in his opening monologue and, with help from Chinese scientist Li-Meng Yan, makes it plain that, even if China didn't deliberately release the virus, it turned it into a weapon of biological warfare by withholding information about it.
Here's Tucker's monologue.
Carjacking is a dangerous proposition … just ask this man who got trampled by an angry driver, and it’s all on video.
The attempted carjacking went down last year but started trending this morning because the video was released for public use yesterday. In the video you see a black man trying to stop a car by standing in the middle of the road as he pulls out a gun.
The would-be carjacker receives instant karma as the driver of the car hits the gas and sent him flying down the street.
The moment of impact did some heavy damage to the man.

In the last twelve months we have been ceaselessly bombarded by claims that America is a racist society in which Black people are oppressed by White people.
This is a truly astonishing claim because nothing could be further from the truth.
You can conduct a quick reality check yourself. Despite their fervent accusations of racism, those who make them have not been able to point to a single racist law, ordinance or practice in the whole of the United States. This holds true across the spectrum: the federal, state and local levels. If the United States were indeed an institutionally racist society, you could surely find at least one law or practice
In Detroit, auto plants have for decades churned out trucks built with Motor City steel and fueled by gasoline. But this week’s rollout of the Ford F-150 Lightning electric truck offered a vision of the future in America’s automotive heartland: aluminum-clad pickups running off of electric powertrains with lithium batteries. (Snip) “There’s no EV pickup market at the moment, so we just don’t know how big it could be, or what consumer acceptance will be,” she said. Truck consumers are generally unwilling to switch to cars just to go electric, Krebs said. So pitching them on the Lightning not only
Mysteries intrigue the human mind. Things you don’t understand or can’t see. Mysteries draw you in, books, TV shows, real-life, even lingerie. You want to see, to understand. I don’t mean stupid mysteries like algebra. I mean scientific stuff. Our country has just gone through a messy pandemic year full of scary scientific mysteries that government folks were afraid to admit they really didn’t understand [Snip] We may finally be on the verge of solving at least part of the enduring UFO mystery
Police departments in the Washington area are turning to mental health experts to help handle certain emergencies as they grapple with the role of law enforcement in the post-George Floyd era. Unarmed teams of behavioral health experts in the District soon will be dispatched to certain 911 calls instead of police under a new pilot program. “The sooner we can identify what a person needs—whether that is an ambulance, a doctor’s appointment, or in this case, a visit from a behavioral health expert, the sooner we can help them,” D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser said in a statement this week. Baltimore is taking a similar step
Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot said she wears the Chicago's Fraternal Order of Police unanimous vote of no-confidence as a 'badge of honor.' The controversial city leader defended herself after being blasted by union president John Catanzara.Lightfoot, who hit the headlines earlier this week for refusing to do one-on-one interviews with white journalists, said: 'Getting a vote of no confidence from that guy is a badge of honor, and I accept it,'There are always going to be critics; that goes with the territory. But what I'm focused on is the working my tail off for the residents of this city.'
Science.The Rat-in-a-Trap Dr. Fauci finally admitted in his latest flip-flop that the COVID-19 virus may not have occurred naturally.Fauci made the comments on far-left Politifact channel, an organization that itself has been pushing fake news on the COVID crisis for over a year. Politifact hack: Sen. Rand Paul, who you have tangled with in the past, suggested that you and the NIH funded risky research that eventually down the line was connected to COVID-19? I don’t want to dwell on this for too long but I do want to give you that chance to react to his comments today.
MSNBC host Joe Scarborough went on an unhinged rant during his show Morning Joe, demanding that Trump supporters leave the US and be replaced by immigrants. Of course, any time someone on the right asserts that the Democrat Party is attempting to replace American voters they are called racist, bigoted, conspiracy theorists.“America, love it or leave it! . . . Just leave . . . Get the h**l out! We don’t want you here,” Scarborough shouted. (Tweet/Video)
Three people were killed and 14 others were wounded by gun violence in Chicago over five hours Thursday night into Friday morning, with shootings now up 36% over last year. The violent night comes as the Chicago Police Department prepares for the traditional summer surge in violence. Last weekend had the most shooting victims so far this year. While shootings are up 36% from the same period last year, homicides are up 19%, according to data kept by the Chicago Sun-Times. At least 1,244 people have been shot this year and there have been at least 244 homicides. Overnight, a
Senator Tim Kaine, who claims to be a Catholic, has compared the church’s teachings on abortion to Sharia Law.
In an op-ed for the far-left National Catholic Reporter, Kaine was arguing against bishops who want to withhold communion from Joe Biden over his radical abortion policies.
“Catholics in public life not only live according to church doctrine but additionally shape the law, even to include the threat of criminal prosecution and punishment, to enshrine church doctrine on sexuality as mandatory for all Americans is contrary to our basic liberty,” he wrote. “Why would government require that Catholic sexuality doctrine, or Sharia law,
