FBI Director Christopher Wray made the comments during a security briefing for Vice President Mike Pence at the Federal Emergency Management Agency headquarters with other government leaders involved in securing next Wednesday’s inauguration in the nation’s capital amid growing concerns that some of the people or groups involved in last week’s deadly siege might attempt some sort of violence.
The deadly riot at the US Capitol bore the markings of an organized operation planned well in advance of the January 6 joint session of Congress.
what jumps out at me?
THEY AREN'T TRUMP SUPPORTERS https://t.co/D6lvHogFSc

As Breitbart News reported, Donald Trump Jr. called the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) “absolutely pathetic” for cutting his father’s cameo scene from its broadcast of the film in 2019.
Major League Baseball is suspending all political contributions in the wake of last week’s invasion of the U.S. Capitol by a mob loyal to President Donald Trump, joining a wave of major corporations rethinking their efforts to lobby Washington.
Anyone seeing a pattern here?
Nike, which has been documented to use slave labour in their manufacturing facilities in China, including forced labour from ethnic Uyghurs as part of the Chinese government’s ongoing genocide of the minority group, has long taken moral stances on political issues. The company gained notoriety for their support of Colin Kaepernick when he repeatedly kneeled during the US national anthem sparked controversy in 2016.
A Disney spokesperson said in a statement, “The insurrection at our nation’s Capitol was a direct assault on one of our country’s most revered tenets: the peaceful transition of power. In the immediate aftermath of that appalling siege, Members of Congress had an opportunity to unite—an opportunity that some sadly refused to embrace. In light of these events, we have decided we will not make political contributions in 2021 to lawmakers who voted to reject the certification of the Electoral College votes.”
Big Tech’s rush to take down and ban social media accounts or de-platform entire websites that they believe in some way caused the horrible rioting at the Capitol is based on fear — that Joe Biden’s inauguration will devolve into another riot. Or that there will be riots at state capitols.
Social media platforms such as Twitter are only focused on President Donald Trump and his millions of devoted fans. They don’t seem to focus on violent thoughts on the left, most prominently the Hollywood left. Apparently, their violent thoughts are never plausibly dangerous; no one could ever be incited by them.
“Unless these white terrorists are arrested NOW – en masse – there will be people killed between now and Inauguration Day. I can’t stress this enough,” activist and liberal Filmmaker Michael Moore writes on Facebook and repeats in a video posted on social media.
A growing number of politicians across Scotland have backed calls to bar Donald Trump from entering Scotland and the UK in the wake of recent violence in Washington DC, describing him as a “dangerous criminal” who should face prosecution.
The list is getting longer of corporations cutting ties with President Donald Trump and his friends and allies because of the January 6th incursion of the US Capitol Building.
Of late, much attention has been focused on acts of censorship by Twitter. What has garnered far less attention is what Twitter chooses not to censor, and the examples are shocking both in content and in the hypocrisy that Big Tech shows in its effort to destroy Twitter’s competitor, Parler.
The House impeached President Trump for the second time Wednesday, charging him for behavior they believe caused the violent Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol that left five dead, dozens injured, and the historic building defaced and damaged.
Falling into line with the ongoing purge, YouTube has suspended President Trump, claiming he uploaded a video that violates its polices.
But then he deleted the tweet and altered his article to read “cleaning up the movement” instead of “cleansing the movement,” so that’s okay, right??
