President Joe Biden will tell Americans that his predecessor, Donald Trump carries “singular responsibility” for the deadly Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol when he marks the first anniversary of the assault on Thursday, the White House said.
Trump Derangement Syndrome
FBI is STILL hunting for 350 Capitol rioters one year later
The Federal Bureau of Investigation is still hunting 350 people involved in the deadly siege of the Capitol a year ago.
The agency are still seeking to identify 250 people seen on video assaulting Capitol police, including a man who appears to have used an electric prod disguised as a cane on a cop, after the riot. Another 100 have been identified but not yet apprehended for multiple crimes tied to January 6.
The investigation has been a massive undertaking for federal law enforcement who have charged more than 700 people.
Secret Commandos with Shoot-to-Kill Authority Were at the Capitol Riot
On Sunday, January 3, the heads of a half-dozen elite government special operations teams met in Quantico, Virginia, to go over potential threats, contingencies, and plans for the upcoming Joint Session of Congress. The meeting, and the subsequent deployment of these shadowy commandos on January 6, has never before been revealed.

Trump, Ivanka, Don Jr subpoenaed by NY attorney general
NEW YORK (AP) — New York Attorney General Letitia James recently subpoenaed former President Donald Trump and his two eldest children, demanding their testimony in connection with an ongoing civil investigation into the family’s business practices, according to a court filing made public Monday.
The subpoenas for Trump, his son Donald Trump Jr. and his daughter Ivanka Trump stem from an investigation “into the valuation of properties owned or controlled” by Trump and his company, the Trump Organization, the filing said.
Messages seeking comment was left with lawyers for the Trumps and James’ office.

US could be under rightwing dictator by 2030, Canadian professor warns
The US could be under a rightwing dictatorship by 2030, a Canadian political science professor has warned, urging his country to protect itself against the “collapse of American democracy”.
“We mustn’t dismiss these possibilities just because they seem ludicrous or too horrible to imagine,” Thomas Homer-Dixon, founding director of the Cascade Institute at Royal Roads University in British Columbia, wrote in the Globe and Mail.
“In 2014, the suggestion that Donald Trump would become president would also have struck nearly everyone as absurd. But today we live in a world where the absurd regularly becomes real and the horrible commonplace.”
With more COVID deaths in 2021 than 2020, when does Trump get his apology?
The fullness of time and now the Omicron wave have made it obvious how preposterous the chief lines of criticism against Donald Trump were during the pandemic.
It has been said, over and over, that Trump almost single-handedly killed Americans. MSNBC host Chris Hayes a couple of months ago called for a truth-and-reconciliation-commission-type inquiry into how the former president “willfully got hundreds of thousands of people killed.” Willfully!
During one of the 2020 presidential debates, Joe Biden said of Trump, “Anyone who is responsible for that many deaths should not remain as president of the United States of America.”
Why, then, does Biden get to stay in office? Tragically, more people died of the coronavirus in 2021 than in 2020. Indeed, if you simply look at the progression of cases and deaths in the United States over time, you’d have no idea that a new president took office in January 2021.
Schiff: Trump’s ‘Big Lie’ that He Won 2020 Was Main ‘Cause’ of Violence on January 6
Representative Adam Schiff (D-CA) declared Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation” that former President Donald Trump’s “big lie” that he lost the 2020 presidential election caused the violence at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.
Did Gallup End ‘Most Admired’ 74-Year Polling Tradition to Avoid Trump Placing First?
Frequent consumers of news may be aware of Gallup’s annual poll measuring the “most admired man” in America which is typically announced a few days before New Year’s.
The poll was done yearly from 1946 through 2020, with 1976 the only year that was skipped.
NewsBusters pointed out a year ago that liberal news media lost interest in the annual poll after Donald Trump started edging out Barack Obama for first place, whereas the networks previously enjoyed using the survey to embarrassing Trump as sitting President failing to come in first place.
So, Adam Schiff Doctored Text Messages for Anti-Trump Witch Hunt Jan 6th Committee?
Well, this isn’t the first time Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) has been caught in a lie. He said he had zero contact with the Ukraine whistleblower that set off the second impeachment circus that led to nowhere except a slew of distractions, time that could have been devoted to preparing the country for the pending COVID pandemic. Democrats wanted an impeachment spectacle and got one that was again based on zero evidence. This time it was a quid pro quo scheme involving Ukraine, Trump, alleged dirt on Joe Biden, and tying all of that up in military aid. It was a crock—and Schiff’s staff had direct contact with the whistleblower. Now, we have fresh evidence that Schiff is just a terrible person.
30 million Americans ready to ‘take up arms’ to overthrow Biden say the folks who brought you the Covington kids, Jussie Smollett, Russiagate etc etc etc…
MSNBC’s national affairs analyst John Heilemann shocked many Americans by claiming on a Sunday show that “20 to 30 million people” are ready to “take up arms” to remove President Joe Biden from office.
On Sunday’s Meet the Press, host Chuck Todd focused on a recent Atlantic article declaring that Donald Trump’s “coup has already begun” for a segment, finding Heilemann in total agreement with the piece’s premise.
“There is this research that shows something like 8% and maybe up to 12% who say that Joe Biden was illegitimate and that violence is a suitable tool to remove him and restore Donald Trump. This represents between 20 and 30 million people,” Heilemann said, claiming these supposed “20 to 30 million people” are ready to “take up arms.”
Off record… that 30 million estimate seems low.
Hillary Clinton predicts Trump will run for president in 2024, says his win ‘could be the end of our democracy’
“If I were a betting person right now, I’d say Trump is going to run again,” she told Sunday Today host Willie Geist. “He seems to be setting himself up to do that, and if he’s not held accountable, he gets to do it again.”
Reiner: Trump Followers ‘Are Not Hesitant to Use Guns’ — ‘We Have to Stop’ the Coup Now
Reiner said, “There was an insurrection. There was an attempt to overthrow the government. Now to put it in context, let’s say, for instance, a guy goes in to rob a bank, and he fails. You’re still breaking the law. You’re trying to rob a bank. That’s what happened. They tried to rob this country of its due process and the election. They went and tried to steal an election, and they tried to overthrow the government. That’s against the law. That breaks federal law. We need the DOJ to prosecute that. Unless they prosecute that, we’re giving the rights for people to just do it again, and they will. So we need two things, we need to prosecute the people responsible, and we need to pass voting rights.”
Nuclear submarine ‘spies’ invoke Trump defense
A Maryland woman charged in connection with selling US nuclear submarine secrets to a foreign power wanted to flee the country because she despised President Donald Trump, not because she feared arrest, her lawyers said.
Diana Toebbe and her husband Jonathan were arrested in October and face espionage charges. Prosecutors have argued against freeing them on bail, citing a text message from Diana saying the couple would be “welcomed and rewarded by a foreign [government].”
At a hearing on Wednesday, her lawyers presented additional messages to argue she was motivated by disdain for the Republican president, not fear of being caught.
MSNBC’s Reid: Media Dismissed Hitler as a Joke — Now Same Pattern Emerging with Trump
Reid said, “Let not forget the many who laughed at Donald Trump back in 2016 and even after he was elected. Thanks to four years of Trump, this is a backsliding democracy, according to an international think tank. And that’s no joke. The truth is this country doesn’t have a great track record of recognizing authoritarians for what they are, at least not until it’s too late.”
