FBI agent undermines Pelosi's claim of insurrection 'incitement'

But an affidavit filed by FBI agent Michael Palian Jr., in a case against Thomas Edward Caldwell, Donovan Ray Crowl and Jessica Marie Watkins, makes clear the violence was the result of preplanning rather than day-of-the-riot "incitement." Talk-radio host Rush Limbaugh noted the affidavit on his show Wednesday.

Limbaugh: 'I'm on thin ice saying this' about Biden

As Joe Biden was sworn in as America's 46th president on Wednesday, talk-radio star Rush Limbaugh said he believes Democrats are fully aware the 2020 presidential election was illegitimate.

"I think they know that they are not – I gotta be very careful here in the words I choose. I think they know that this is something that's been arranged rather than legitimately sought and won," Limbaugh said on his national broadcast.

Joe Biden was supposedly elected to end all the madness. Make the crazy stop. Give in to the media’s lunatic four-year temper tantrum so the rest of us can get a wink of sleep.

All Joe Biden had to do is … nothing really.

Just about all of his supposed plans for combatting the Chinese plague have been tried by Democrat governors and disastrously failed. Or they are ideas he stole from President Trump and are already working.

So, Joe, just leave it alone and continue to deliver Mr. Trump’s miracle “Warp Speed” vaccines.

Witnesses describe destruction during Inauguration Day riots | WTOP

WASHINGTON — Jurors saw video and heard testimony from witnesses caught up in riots that paralyzed parts of the District during Donald Trump’s inauguration as the first trial for some of the protesters continued Tuesday.

The trial, before Judge Lynn Leibovitz, began this week and is expected to last a month.

More than 200 protesters were arrested on Jan. 20 and six of those are on trial in D.C. Superior Court: Jennifer Armento, Oliver Harris, Brittne Lawson, Michelle Macchio, Christina Simmons and Alexei Wood.

They face felony charges of rioting, conspiracy and destruction of property.

Approximately 20 people charged in connection with the riots have pleaded guilty, and prosecutors have dropped the charges in almost two dozen cases.

So far, jurors have seen surveillance video, and images taken on protesters’ phones and police body cameras.

Prosecutors said that windows of several businesses were shattered sending customers and employees ducking for cover. A police officer’s wrist was broken when protesters threw bricks and hammers at him.

Tuesday, limousine driver Luis Villarroyal described watching protesters break the windows of the vehicle he had parked, after dropping off five passengers.

Jurors saw video of a protester throwing a lit flare into the back seat of Villarroyal’s limousine. He described snuffing out the flare.

Asked why he didn’t stop the approximately half-dozen people from destroying his car, Villarroyal answered: “I have a daughter — they could harm me.”

While only a few people personally damaged his limo, the hundreds of black-clad protesters nearby “were cheering, enjoying what they were seeing.”

Prosecutors acknowledged that no evidence suggests that the six defendants caused the damage, but their alignment with the so-called “black bloc tactics,” such as dressing in black and wearing masks to avoid being identified, makes them guilty.

An employee at a BP gas station at 13th and N streets NW described a protester pounding on the glass booth she was sitting in, while another man cracked the window with a projectile. She said she tried to pile cases of bottled water in front of the door.

“I’m scared, because I don’t know if they’re coming in,” she said.

The six defendants are represented separately. Defense lawyers told jurors that police rounded up innocent protesters with those responsible for the vandalism, and prosecutors won’t be able to prove their clients committed the damage.

Trials for the other remaining defendants are expected to stretch into next year."

The Dangerous Boomerang of Political Paranoia | The American Spectator | USA News and Politics
"Wednesday will mark the four-year anniversary of the violent Antifa riots in Washington, D.C., when hundreds of anarchists wreaked havoc in our nation’s capital on Inauguration Day, declaring themselves the #Resistance to President Trump. 
Our media overlords now expect Americans to forget the Left’s deranged reaction to Hillary Clinton’s 2016 defeat, because this does not fit the current narrative, in which anyone who didn’t vote for Joe Biden is viewed as a potential terrorist threat.
Biden will be inaugurated amid a climate of paranoia, surrounded by a phalanx of military security so enormous as to dwarf the number of troops that we currently have stationed in Afghanistan. 
This unprecedented level of security is necessary, our media overlords tell us, because of the rowdy crowd of Trump supporters who stormed the Capitol two weeks ago. 
Viewers of CNN and MSNBC have been told repeatedly that what happened on January 6 was an “insurrection,” an attempted “coup,” by dangerous extremists who (a) arrived in Washington with carefully organized plans to destroy Democracy as We Know It and (b) were incited to this seditious attack by what Trump said in his speech at a “Stop the Steal” rally.
There are obvious problems with this narrative. 
If the riot at the Capitol was planned in advance, how then were the rioters “incited” by what Trump said?...Read all!

Parler CEO optimistic about social network's full return by 'end of the month' - TheBlaze

Parler CEO John Matze believes that the "free speech" alternative social network will soon be fully operational again, telling Fox News on Sunday about several steps the website is taking to return after being booted offline by Amazon Web Services. Earlier Sunday, Parler's website partially relaunched after the company registered its domain and server with Epik, an internet solutions company that also hosts Gab, another Twitter alternative. However, the full functionality of Parler is not yet restored. The website currently shows only a single page with a message to "lovers and haters" about why privacy and free speech are essential for social media.

Gaining power hasn’t made the left any less insane

Gaining power hasn’t made the left any less insane
"Many years ago, the columnist Megan McArdle postulated a law of politics: “The devotees of the party in power are smug and arrogant. The devotees of the party out of power are insane.”
This was a pretty good summary of the Clinton, Bush, Obama and Trump years. 
But no more. 
The Democrats have taken control of the presidency and both houses of Congress. 
But based on the evidence of the past week, that hasn’t made them any less crazy. 
  • First, there was the unleashing of the Big Tech titans against the Twitter alternative Parler...Parler’s crime? Some people who organized the Capitol Hill riot used its services. 
  • ...Facebook also took down all sorts of pages, including one for the “WalkAway” campaign, designed to encourage minority voters to switch to the Republican Party, with more than 500,000 followers. 
  • And Twitter, of course, banned President Trump, a move that drew criticism even from German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who has never been a Trump fan. And former Rep. Ron Paul’s page was locked after he published a column critical of Facebook. (Facebook later called that move a “mistake.”)
Even five years ago, this sort of thing would have seemed insane
But here we are.
...But now they have impeached Trump — a week before he was scheduled to leave office anyway. 
And this time, the claim was even thinner: that a speech in which Trump called for peaceful protests was somehow “incitement” of events on Capitol Hill and elsewhere, some of which apparently took place before the speech was delivered.
  • When Democrats spent a year promoting and excusing violent riots against the police, we were told that it was “mostly peaceful” protest, even when police stations and state capitols were seized, and when rioters tried to burn down federal courthouses. 
  • When Trump called for peaceful protest, we’re told he was advocating violence. 
...One promise of the Biden campaign was that after the craziness of the Trump years, electing the ex-veep would return the country to normal. 
Instead, Democrats are doubling down on crazy. 
It’s enough to make you wish for “smug and arrogant” — but sane...Read all.
