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.
Charles Hurt: Enter the Dumbest Administration on Earth Charles Hurt: Enter the Dumbest Administration on Earth
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.
As it was 4 years ago-----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.

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."

Gaining power hasn’t made the left any less insane
- 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.”)
- 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.
