The plot thickens. One of Nasty Nancy's personal gestapo was part of the set up!!! Time to arrest the plot planners including Pelosi. They set up the protesters on January 6th. We are living in the twilight zone.

Thread: After a fresh, close look at my January 6 footage, I discovered something in the chaos I didn't know I captured:

On the Capitol East side, Capitol Police Lieutenant Tarik Khalid Johnson is in my footage wearing a MAGA hat and shouting into a bullhorn.

When I see such beauty and serenity of nature, I am immediately compelled to wallow in the pretend angst that bots implant in my mind. We are off to Lake George for a 5K open water swim extravaganza. They are holding the 10K national championship as well. Carb loading tonight 😜

If Rs take the house, the first act should be to release all J6 video and subpoena all communications of the Capitol Police, the DC mayor, and the speaker's office.

I'm guessing a lot of those emails, phone records, etc. will have been wiped with a cloth.

No offense to you, Althouse. Your pictures are spectacular. Meade has outdone you this time, though. Wow.

The New York Post

(best newspaper in the country?)

has an article about the FBI agents who raided Trump's house.

It's the same fuckers who investigated Trump in Project Crossfire!

That's the FBI team that was headed up Peter Strzok, the notorious fucker who tweeted that the FBI would keep Trump from taking office. Strzok was fired, but his team remains. And they wanted those documents bad, apparently.

This gives credence to the theory that it was rogue FBI agents behind the raid, and the attorney general had no idea what was going on. See what Turley says about Merrick Garland

Impeach him, impeach the head of the FBI, and investigate every FBI agent who participated in Project Crossfire. Name names and get rid of these fuckers.

It appears that abortion is currently totally unavailable in Wisconsin. Is that to stir up the troops?

“In this case, the court has found probable cause there’s a violation of one of the obstruction statutes, and that evidence of obstruction would be found at Mar-a-Lago,” said Jay Bratt, who heads the Justice Department’s counterintelligence section.

[Judge] Reinhart said during the hearing Thursday that he “found there is probable cause” that the statutes had been violated.

[Notably], the earliest reporting on the criminal referral described two things that would be criminal: retaining classified documents and ripping, burning, or flushing them. [In previous submissions to the Archives], Trump had turned over other White House records that had been torn up. His penchant for ripping up official documents was first reported by Politico in 2018.

This reporting suggests that Trump’s efforts to destroy documents — including documents pertinent to investigations of January 6 that started the day of the attack — were part of the Archives’ referral from the start, before Trump had an opportunity to start obstructing this [NARA-related] investigation.


Pete Strzok was a well-respected and competent agent who did in Russian spies and whose personal privacy was illegally invaded by the Trump Administration. When Strzok sued, he won. So the story here is about Trump's documented criminal activities, not about revealing the names of FBI agents doing their jobs.

These beautiful sunrise pictures on the lakes in Madison are all over the state of Wisconsin. They show the peace and serenity of our natural calling to the water and the warmth and hope of the rising sun.

And then the rest of Madison, WI gets out of bed...

I always like the where’s Waldo aspect of some of Meade’s pictures

Notice that it was from the NY Post. WHERE is the story in the Washington Post or the New York Times??
