As we approach the first anniversary of the deadly insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, we — all of us former senior military officials — are increasingly concerned about the aftermath of the 2024 presidential election and the potential for lethal chaos inside our military, which would put all Americans at severe risk. In short: We are chilled to our bones at the thought of a coup succeeding next time.

Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., tore into Attorney General Merrick Garland during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing Wednesday, chastising him for his memo to Justice Department employees about intervening in violence, threats and intimidation targeting school board officials.
Cotton noted that Garland has cited news reports – in addition to a letter from the National School Boards Association – as inspiring his memo. The Arkansas Republican then brought up one of the more high-profile instances of a parent being arrested for conduct at a school board meeting,
President Joe Biden participated Thursday in a CNN town hall in Baltimore, taking questions from anchor Anderson Cooper and local residents about his legislative agenda and a variety of other topics.
Biden made some false claims, along with making other claims that could have used additional context. He also made one claim, an assertion that he has visited the southern border in the past, that CNN couldn't immediately verify and that the White House did not immediately provide evidence to support.

Teachers are already struggling to do their job during a pandemic. But it's worse for those working in states where mask mandates are prohibited.
Some fear students who aren't eligible for vaccines may die. Others worry about having to enforce social distancing. Or they worry about bringing the virus home to family.
The chief judge in DC's federal court questioned the Justice Department's decision to offer misdemeanor plea deals to nonviolent US Capitol rioters, saying at a hearing Thursday that the relatively light punishment might not be enough to deter similar attacks in the future.
"Does the government have any concern ... of the defendant joining a mob, breaking into the Capitol building" in the future, and "terrorizing members of Congress, the vice president, who had to be evacuated," Chief Judge Beryl Howell asked prosecutors during the plea hearing.
DC Police Officer Daniel Hodges during a House hearing regarding January 6 on Tuesday repeatedly referred to pro-Trump insurrectionists who stormed the US Capitol as "terrorists."
Hodges during his testimony pointed to the hypocrisy of the rioters carrying symbols of support for law enforcement as officers were simultaneously and brutally assaulted.

Hillary Clinton was on television Sunday promoting her new political thriller State of Terror—which she admitted is based on her 2016 rival, former President Donald Trump. In her third interview this month, the former first lady accused Trump of 'masterminding' the January 6 Capitol riot and said he was a 'danger' to the country.
Her recent media blitz has fueled rumors that Clinton is testing the waters for her own re-election bid after repeatedly calling a potential Trump 2024 ticket a threat to democracy. This morning, CNN host Fareed Zakaria asked about claims her new novel is a 'thinly veiled attack on President Trump.'
Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., announced Sunday that she has tested positive for COVID-19. Warren, who said she is vaccinated against the virus, shared that she tested positive for a "breakthrough case" on Sunday after testing negative earlier in the week as she is subjected to regular testing. "Thankfully, I am only experiencing mild symptoms and am grateful for the protection provided against serious illness that comes from being vaccinated and boosted," she said. Massachusetts is reporting a daily average of 5,126 new COVID-19 cases and 74% of its population is fully vaccinated, while Washington D.C., a daily average of 360
MSNBC contributor Donny Deutsch predicted Friday on “Deadline” that former President Donald Trump would be indicted for “bank fraud, mail fraud, and insurance fraud.”Deutsch said, “I met with Michael Cohen a couple of weeks ago. He is doing well, out of house arrest, and he seems to think things are really moving along.”When asked what investigators Cohen is speaking with, Deutsch said, “Cy Vance’s people, both, both the attorney general and the district attorney. He has met over a dozen times.
If you aren’t white, you may not be able to go way outside.
At least, that appears to be the belief of a North Carolina State University professor.
KangJae “Jerry” Lee — of the school’s College of Natural Resources — recognizes the racism keeping you from enjoying the great outdoors.
Cultural differences, he asserts, can’t explain why there aren’t more black people fishing, hunting, and hiking.
Also an insufficient excuse: income disparity.
The instructor laments America’s adventure/nature gap, but he’s bulls-eyed the culprit: systemic racism.
Wichita’s KAKE recently jawed it up with Jerry on the lack of outdoor equity.
“AstraZeneca uncovers what's triggering blood clots after its jab” reads a recent headline from Mail Online.
“Oh, oh, oh!” one feels like exclaiming. So, it is true, after all. After nearly one year of stonewalling and denials, they officially admit that the Covid vaccines can, in fact, cause blood clots.
This will undoubtedly come as a great shock to those who believe the mainstream media narratives where all talk of vaccine injury has been hitherto dismissed as “misinformation” by those right wing anti-vaxxers. (snip)
After all, scientists and public health officials have always reassured us that these vaccines are “completely safe and effective.”
In roughly three weeks, the New York state legislature will vote on Bill A416, which will give the New York governor (in this case, the power-mad Kathy Hochul), as well as the governor’s delegates (i.e., New York’s administrative state) the power to indefinitely detain anyone the governor or her agencies deem a “significant threat to public health.” (snip) the governor has the power to “order the removal and/or detention of such a person or of a group of such persons” with just a single order (reasonably specific) to detain people “in a medical facility or other appropriate facility or premises....”

My name is Brandon. Brandon Brown, to be specific. Yes, that Brandon.
I am Brandon, the NASCAR driver and unlikely meme. A 28-year-old who now finds himself in the middle of the American political conversation. As a pro driver, I never expected to be in the passenger seat of my own viral moment.
On October 2, I won the NASCAR Xfinity Series race at Talladega—my first major win. It was a hell of a moment for me, my family, my team and my sponsors. It's cliché, but it is a moment I had dreamt about my entire life.
White House chief medical adviser Anthony Fauci on Sunday said he does not believe we are ever going to reach a point where Americans won’t be required to wear masks on airplanes due to Covid-19 concerns.
ABC News This Week host Jonathan Karl asked Fauci about comments from several of the CEOs of top airlines that “you are actually safer than you are in an ICU” on a plane because of the filtration systems on flights. Karl asked if we will reach a point where we don’t have to wear masks on airplanes.
“I don’t think so,” Fauci said. “I think when you’re dealing with a close space,

White House chief of staff Ron Klain doubled down on the White House's doomsday warning for the unvaccinated on Monday. 'We are intent on not letting Omicron disrupt work and school for the vaccinated. You've done the right thing, and we will get through this,' said White House coronavirus response coordinator Jeff Zients in a press briefing. 'For the unvaccinated, you're looking at a winter of severe illness and death for yourselves, your families, and the hospitals you may soon overwhelm.'(Snip)The White House has attempted to shift messaging away from case counts and towards severe illness. 'We're getting to the point now where… it's about severity,' said Xavier Becerra,

A newly-ordained pastor from Chicago is dressing up in drag in order to lead church services with children. Aaron Musser, who was ordained this summer, can be seen addressing children from a pulpit in his church dressed in a blonde wig, white dress, and makeup before spreading the word of the Lord to children at his parish at St. Luke's Lutheran Church of Logan Square.(Snip)The announcement noted that 'Seminarian Aaron' would be 'preaching in drag!' adding that the church wanted everyone 'to wear garments/accessories that make you feel 100%, like the best version of yourself.' Musser writes openly about incorporating 'Queerness' into his teachings
How Did the FBI End Up in This Mess?
27 replies
The fact that the FBI has lost its way has been on public display for at least five years now. Truth be told, it probably strayed off course way before that. But during the Trump Presidency, it became too obvious to ignore. It has been involved in everything from the creation of an “insurance policy” against the peaceful transition of power, to the targeting of parents as domestic terrorists for the sin of disagreeing with school boards. How did our “premier law enforcement agency” stray so far from its motto of fidelity, bravery, and integrity?
Simply put, the FBI’s current state is the result of horrible leadership.

This scares me more than the fools that broke into the Capitol Building Jan. 6, 2021. They are wanting the military to take a political stance, not uphold the Constitution! Remember: the Deadly insurrection resulted in the death of one innocent unarmed person, Ashley Babbitt, shot by the Government forces!
