In new memos recently released by Facebook, the social media giant was pressured by the Biden White House into altering its algorithms so that mainstream news sources would be elevated over conservative sites.

“Instead, the Biden Administration sought to engage in what I have called ‘censorship through surrogate.’ This is part of that pattern.”...“By working with the government, Facebook exposed themselves to liability,” Reynolds said, noting that they do not “share sovereign immunity” with the government and will “probably very much regret it.”

Former U.S. Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund described January 6 as a “cover-up” in a leaked interview with Tucker Carlson that Fox News refused to air

if I was allowed to do my job as Chief, We wouldn’t be here today. This didn’t have to happen.” Sund told Carlson.

Sund has more than three decades of experience in law enforcement and served as the Capitol Police chief from 2019 to 2021. He went on to say that “Everything appears to be a coverup.”

“Could there possibly be actually… they kind of wanted something to happen? It’s not a far stretch to begin to think that. It’s sad when you start putting everything together and thinking about the way this played out… what was their end goal?”

They tend to take threats against the president seriously. Even a someone like Joe Biden.

He was 75 years old, 300lbs, and walked with a cane.

Now, government agencies and scholars across the political spectrum agree that far-right movements have caused most of the political violence in the U.S. over the past few years – and present the most dangerous threat today. Data shows that the involvement of veterans and service members in some of these groups is helping to further the violence.

You'll have to make up your own minds about it, but as I read it I kept thinking, "Didn't chunks of our cities burn in 2020? Weren't businesses and vehicles looted and destroyed? Didn't we have armed Antifa and BLM patrolling riots and 'sovereign secessions' and shutting down streets and directly threatening physical violence against any who didn't wear their T-shirts or shout their chants?" But I guess I'm completely misremembering the scope of what happened that summer and beyond. I don't consider myself to be on the far right, so maybe I just never see or have ever come into contact with these evidently vast and pervasive conspiratorial far-right groups. Dunno.

And while I definitely disagree with what took place January 6, the DOJ has made over 1,106 arrests for crimes committed at the Capitol that day; had 632 people plead guilty; 597 federal defendants have had their cases adjudicated and received sentences; and, of those, 366 have been sentenced to time behind bars (source: United States Attorney's Office, District of Columbia). Do all of those cases go into the think-tanks' count of violent far-right extremism? You know, like Gary Wickersham who, at 81, is the oldest known person to be convicted and sentenced for January 6? While not a single arrest was made in scores of the rioting, burning, and looting that was perpetrated by Antifa and BLM in the name of convicted violent felon George Floyd?

Exactly!! Our entire country can burn and the contemptible so called "leadership" (politicians, media, military, relevant government agencies, scholars) don't even pretend to notice. Clownworld.

To me this suggests guilt of these same groups as being directly involved in the riots, arson, and looting. We know at a minimum it was a stand down. The destruction didn't have to happen.

SpaceX and other rocket companies have for years asserted that its hiring practices were dictated by the International Traffic in Arms Regulation (ITAR) law, which regulates the export of regulated technologies, such as rocket parts. An "export" is deemed to have occurred if technology is disclosed to a foreigner, even in the U.S.

Musk responded Thursday night, tweeting "SpaceX was told repeatedly that hiring anyone who was not a permanent resident of the United States would violate international arms trafficking law, which would be a criminal offense," adding "This is yet another case of weaponization of the DOJ for political purposes."

Musk is absolutely correct. This is blatant weaponizion by the extremists.
