Same prosecutor who declined to charge
the ‘Colbert 9’ threw the book at
J6 protesters; Trump weighs in
Posted By: Imright, 7/21/2022 11:12:19 AM
The U.S. Attorney who dropped charges against the nine staffers for late night host Stephen Colbert’s show who unlawfully entered the Capitol to film anti-Republican skits is also the prosecutor in charge of investigating the January 6 protesters who have had the book thrown at them. Matthew Graves, an appointee of President Joe Biden who was confirmed as United States Attorney for the District of Columbia last year has remained relatively unknown while he pursues the federal government’s cases against the Trump supporters who were in the wrong place at the wrong time, but his slap on the wrist for the “Colbert 9” is drawing attention to what seems to be

Jimmy Kimmel may be away from his eponymous late-night show for a summer break, but it still bears his name, no matter who the guest host is.
That’s what made its mockery of President Joe Biden’s confused remarks, all in the light of his recent COVID-19 diagnosis, even more shocking. And hilarious.
In a spoof video of what the president would sound like if he were announcing the infection via a paid political advertisement, “your pal Joey Sack-a-nickels” tells America he has COVID because “one of the neighborhood kids sneezed in my Ovaltine” and promised he’d “be right back to fixing the econ — econ — Matthew McConaughey?”
On July 8, 2022, Tucker Carlson laid out an extensive indictment against the Chinese Communist Party, Joe Biden, the media, and the medical establishment regarding COVID. For me, there have always been nagging and inescapable questions about the pandemic. In my mind, the timing was always just too convenient. Tucker’s monologue re-ignited my curiosity and the questions have arisen once more. Maybe it’s just me, but…
In late January 2020, the first COVID-19 case was diagnosed in the United States. At that time, America was strong, even on the rise. There was energy independence
Donald Trump and Elon Musk have something in common….
“It must be remembered that there is nothing more difficult to plan, more doubtful of success, nor more dangerous to manage than a new system. For the initiator has the enmity of all who would profit by the preservation of the old institution and merely lukewarm defenders in those who gain by the new ones.”

Country music star John Rich has captured the hearts of conservatives across the country with his new pro-American anthem that bluntly tells the left to “stick your progress where the sun don’t shine.”
In just over a week since the song was initially released on Rumble and Truth Social, it flew at hyperspeed to the No. 1 spot on iTunes.
“Felt good to beat the machine today:),” Rich tweeted with a screengrab showing his twangy tune was beating out oversized star Lizzo and singer-songwriter Billie Eilish.
Hunter Biden reportedly did not register as a foreign agent while making business deals overseas, according to the New York Post.
Experts said recently it was a possible crime that could result in him being sent to prison.
The report noted Biden was registered as a lobbyist for domestic interests but not under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA).
In addition, Biden could reportedly face charges regarding tax violations and lying about illegally buying a firearm.
Breitbart News reported Wednesday:
The probe, which has been ongoing for years and debated for months among Justice Department officials, also centers on the Biden family’s foreign business schemes while Joe Biden was vice president.
A citywide 'tactical alert' was ordered by the Los Angeles police department after two people were shot dead and at least five more injured during a Sunday shooting in the city's San Pedro neighborhood.
The shooting took place at Peck Park in San Pedro at around 3:51 p.m. local time on the 560 block of N. Western Avenue.
Initially, EMS officials in LA said that seven people were injured in the shooting.
An LA Fire Department official later said in a press conference that two of those people have died from their injuries at local hospitals, according to CBS Los Angeles.
Sunday, during this week’s broadcast of NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Rep. Elaine Luria (D-VA) argued for her January 6 House Select Committee colleague Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) to be the face of the Republican Party going forward.
Luria said her voice was “needed” when asked about the prospects of Luria running for president as a Republican in 2024.
“I admire Liz Cheney,” she said. “I’ve been friendly with her ever since I came to Congress, even before we served on this committee together. And I think, you know, if she doesn’t come through this primary and come back to Congress, there are so many things that she can do in the future
President Joe Biden is considering issuing government identification (ID) cards to border crossers and illegal aliens who are set for release into American communities as part of the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) expansive “catch and release” operation.
Late last week, Axios reported that Biden is considering issuing the IDs to illegal aliens once they arrived at the United States-Mexico border. The goal is to make securing public benefits easier once they are released into the U.S. interior.
Axios’s Stef Kight reports:
The Biden administration plans to test providing temporary I.D. cards to unauthorized immigrants awaiting a final decision on their cases,
Bio-weapons are being developed that use specific DNA to target and kill individuals through their medical profile, a Democrat member of the U.S. House Intelligence Committee warned Friday.
Rep. Jason Crow (D-CO), a U.S. Army veteran, used the Aspen Security Forum to warn Americans to be more judicious about sharing their DNA with private companies due to the coming of new bioweapon types.
His call is a repeat of one made in 2019 when concerns about China acquiring the DNA of American service members prompted the Pentagon to issue an advisory to the entire force against using commercial popular DNA testing kits to trace one’s ancestry.
Sunday morning Jonathan Turley announced on Twitter that he has tested positive for COVID. He did as many do, he tried to post a creative tweet, something other than just a basic I-have-COVID type of announcement. He succeeded. He takes the award for best COVID announcement, at least among recent ones.
We can all use some levity today. Turley provides that levity. Take a look. (Tweet) Nice. Turley calls for a special counsel in the Hunter Biden investigation because he is warning about the outcome we all expect. Hunter Biden lives a charmed life where he never is held responsible for his actions.
Safeguarding the Filibuster

Once again, the Senate filibuster is under attack. With each passing salvo, the 60-vote threshold stands on shakier legs. Unless we enshrine the filibuster in our Constitution, its days are numbered, as is the political stability we enjoy.
Earlier this year, President Biden declared his support for “changing the Senate rules... to prevent a minority of senators from blocking actions on voting rights.” Now, with Roe v. Wade fresh off the chopping block, congressional Democrats have renewed their attacks on American institutional norms. Protesting in front of the Supreme Court, Representative Andy Levin declared: “The filibuster is a vestige of Jim Crow,” one which “[o]ur founding fathers didn’t want” and

Despite the hyper-partisan efforts of the Jan. 6 committee hearings and their predetermined objective of recommending criminal charges against former President Donald Trump, evidence has continued to mount on the side of reality leading Fox News senior political analyst Brit Hume to drop the hammer on Reps. Liz Cheney (R-WY) and Adam Kinzinger (R-IL).
Following Thursday’s primetime edition of the Jan. 6 show trial, investigative journalist and founder of Just the News, John Solomon, called out the committee for deliberately ignoring concrete evidence that destroys their narrative while referencing a specific Pentagon memo. Hume shared that post and included

Former vice president and global warming activist Al Gore claimed in a pre-recorded interview Saturday that those who deny climate change are comparable to police officers who refuse to enter a school to stop a shooting.
In an interview set to air on Sunday, Gore told NBC, “You know the climate deniers are really in some ways similar to all of those almost 400 law enforcement officers in Uvalde, Texas, who were waiting outside an unlocked door while the children were being massacred. They heard the screams, they heard the gunshots, and nobody stepped forward.”

Former AG Bill Barr said Mexican drug cartels should be wiped off the Earth like ISIS because they're far too rich and powerful to prosecute.
Barr, 72, sat down with Newsmax's Greta Van Susteren to discuss to Mexican drug cartels.
He likened them to terrorist groups, and said they should be treated as such, particularly as they've been blamed for inundating the US with deadly fentanyl.
'I think [the Mexicans] have to be forced and pushed into action with us,' he said. 'I think we have to more active against the cartels. I
Representative Liz Cheney (R-WY) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that she believes former President Donald Trump “engaged in the most serious misconduct of any president in the history of our nation.”
Cheney said. “I think the committee has produced and provided and gathered a tremendous man for information. We’re not finished yet. Certainly, it’s clear if you look at Judge Carter’s opinion. He believes that it’s more likely than not that President Trump committed at least two federal crimes. I think we certainly, we have not decided yet as a committee for going to make criminal referrals, but that’s something we’re looking at.”

Representative Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) claimed Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that the House January 6 Committee was moving former President Donald Trump’s “hardcore” supporters who “now just can’t stand him.” (snip) Kinzinger added, “I’m hearing a lot of anecdotal stuff around the edges of people who have been, you know, hardcore with Trump but now just can’t stand him. It’s enough to make a bit of difference within maybe a GOP primary.
The Army picked General Motors to provide them with a GMC Hummer EV for a test drive as the service looks to fill a requirement for a light- to heavy-duty battery electric vehicle to reduce the military’s reliance on fossil fuels in garrison and in the field.
GM’s all-electric pickup-model Hummer features 1,000 horsepower with a 24-module, double-stacked Ultium battery pack. It offers almost 330 miles of combined driving range with its first edition and can go from 0-to-60 mph in as little as 3 seconds, according to the company. “Leveraging GM’s advanced technology, this demonstration will prove to our U.S. Army customer

Vice President Kamala Harris on Sunday claimed Florida's 'Don't Say Gay' law is keeping teachers of young students from the ability to 'love openly.'
Harris had been asked about why young people, who have been largely disenchanted with the Biden administration, should keep turning out at the ballot box. She warned that it was a matter of the fundamental right to vote.
'We all know your right to vote and the action of voting unlocks all the other rights, including same-sex marriage,' the vice president said during an interview with journalist Brian Tyler Cohen.'Including whether we are going to stand up against a law that says "Don't Say Gay,"
Representative Liz Cheney (R-WY) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that she believes opposition to same-sex marriage is wrong and that Congress should vote to protect it.
Anchor Jake Tapper said, “One issue, one question about a vote that you passed. You are one of 47 House Republicans who voted this week to codify same-sex marriage protections. The culmination of a remarkable personal evolution for you. You used to oppose same-sex marriage. That infamously went to a public falling out with your own sister. What’s your message to any Senate Republican who’s on the fence about voting for this bill?”
President Joe Biden likely contracted a highly contagious variant of the coronavirus spreading rapidly through the United States, and now has body aches and a sore throat since his positive test, according to an update from his doctor on Saturday.
The variant, known as BA.5, is an offshoot of the omicron strain that emerged late last year, and it’s believed to be responsible for the vast majority of coronavirus cases in the country.

Three thieves were caught on tape barging into a Brooklyn church on Sunday where controversial bishop Lamor Whitehead—an ally to Mayor Adams—was preaching and snatched $400,000 worth of jewelry off of him and his wife. Whitehead, the Rolls-Royce-driving bishop who recently tried to broker a deal for the surrender of a man accused of a subway murder to the mayor, was preaching at Leaders of Tomorrow International Ministry on Remsen Ave. near Avenue D in Canarsie about 11:15 a.m. Sunday when three masked bandits stormed into the church, the pastor and cops confirmed.(Snip)The armed men, who can be seen in the video
Everywhere I go these days, the question I seem to hear most often is, "What’s wrong today? Why the violence, the shootings, the divisions, the vitriol in our nation, our cities, our society?" I’m hardly the only one getting such questions: other spiritual leaders, teachers, politicians, parents and pundits tell me that they ask and get asked the same all the time.
I listen intently to the answers given to that plea by so many respected voices in the country. Most will rattle off the usual suspects: it’s the lousy economy, some opine; it’s all the political strife that drives us apart, others might suggest.
MSNBC analyst Malcolm Nance predicted that a litany of horrors and injustices would certainly follow if Republicans were successful in their efforts to retake control of the House, the Senate, or both in November’s midterm elections.
Nance spoke with Sirius XM radio host Dean Obeidallah on Friday about the upcoming elections, and he made it clear that the seriousness of the predicament in which Democrats find themselves could not be oversold.
“What should Democrats be doing?” Obeidallah asked.“It’s battle stations! The Democrats, Joe Biden, all the rest of them need to understand they are… What are we? July, August, December, October, November. You are four months from the end of American democracy.
