The Man Who Shot Ashlii Babbitt
Timothy Birdnow
In other J6 news the man who killed Ashlii Babbitt - Officer Michael J. Byrd - had almost been fired from the force for ditching his duties to play cards in a cloakroom then lying about it to Internal Affairs.
He had been assigned to Speaker Dennis Hastert at the time. I might add he was sitting in the Speaker's Office and eating and drinking a soda; the J6ers who went into Pelosi's office were nearly drawn and quartered for it.
Byrd also once left his sidearm in a restroom at the Capitol Visitor's Center, another act that usually leads to firing. It was found by another officer.
He discharged his weapon at a fleeing vehicle then lied to IAD about it, claiming it was coming straight at him. Byrd was disciplined for violating use of force and use of weapons policies by discharging his service weapon in a "careless and imprudent manner.”
He was also disciplined for an incident at a high school football game where he got into it with a local cop and called him a "piece of "shit" and "racist".
Yet Byrd was promoted to Captain after all of this.
Oh, and Byrd has had a slew of financial problems, such as bankruptcies and a tax-lien judgment of $56,366 against him by the Federal government (I wonder; were they garnishing his pay?)
If he hadn't been black he'd have been toast.
Here's the kicker:
So Byrd was bribed and kept isolated so he couldn't blow this for the Democrats!
Nancy Pelosi is on record as saying she wanted to "take care of him" for his service to The Party, and bumping him up to several great jobs were discussed. They also waived Byrd's fitness requirements so he could continue with his job and keep his firearm (if he didn't lose it).
Byrd is an example of how the filth of politics bespoils everything, especially in Washington.
This guy probably should be in jail for reckless homicide at a minimum. Manslaughter probably. But he has no business being a captain in the Capitol Police. That was purely to keep him quiet and rub our collective noses in it.

Here's the kicker:
" Records obtained by the Committee on House Administration Subcommittee on Oversight showed top House Democrats worked with DiBiase to find ways to help Byrd financially in the months after he shot and killed Babbitt at the Capitol. The records were first disclosed by journalist John Solomon and Just the News.
Byrd was given $36,000 in unrestricted funds as a "retention bonus” in 2021, while other Capitol Police officers received around $3,000 each. Byrd was reimbursed for more than $21,000 in security upgrades for his personal residence in Prince George’s County.
Capitol Police paid to house Byrd at the Joint Base Andrews military facility from July 2021 until late January 2022 at a cost of more than $35,000, according to records obtained by Judicial Watch Inc. When he left the base for any reason, Byrd was provided with a Capitol Police dignitary protection detail, which a source told Blaze News could easily cost $425 per hour. "

Entrapment
Timothy Birdnow
It was a setup!
Report: 26 FBI Sources Were on the Ground at J6 - 3 Entered Capitol Building
Can you say "entrapment"? Every single conviction for J6 should be thrown out based on that fact alone.
According to this article on the Federal law against entrapment:
We know that there were people in the crowd, and they were probably the federal agents, pushing them to enter the restricted area. Most J6 people were charged on that alone.
This report offers ground for appeal of many of the sentences. I hope this winds up at SCOTUS.
BTW the Washington Post is crowing about this report, claiming it "debunks" conspiracy theories about J6. It does nothing of the sort; yes, Horowitz (a Democrat and swamp dweller) said there were no FBI AGENTS on the scene but said there were "informants" who are people paid by the FBI so it's six of one, half dozen of the other.
Given how other things were done - from Pelosi rejecting National Guard to Capitol Policemen holding the doors open for J6 tourists, I have absolutely no doubt this was pre-planned and ginned up. It was the way they were going to stop Trump, or so they thought. Insurrection is the only thing that would have prevented Trump from running.
I believe this as much as I believe "the election was fair" in '24.

According to this article on the Federal law against entrapment:
"United States, 503 U.S. 540, 548 (1992) . A valid entrapment defense has two related elements: (1) government inducement of the crime, and (2) the defendant's lack of predisposition to engage in the criminal conduct."

Biden Selling Off Border Wall
Timothy Birdnow
Joe Biden continues to sabotage Donald Trump. He refused to build the border wall and left the materials sit for four years. Now he is planning to auction off the wall mateials to force Trump to start from scratch.
What a petty, vindictive jerk! This is a thumb in the eye of not just Trump but all of America. We voted for Trump to build that wall.
Now Trump will have to get more funding from a nip-and-tuck Congress, which is the whole point of Biden doing this.
Update — Texas will purchase all border wall materials being auctioned by Mayorkas.

Nativity Display at U.S. Capitol
Timothy Birdnow
For the first time the Capitol building is hosting (involuntarily thanks to a Federal judge's ruling) a nativity display.
I equate this with the election of Trump; I think God gave us a reprieve because of this and other similary actions across the nation.

Droning On
Ttimothy Birdnow
This explanation of the Jersey drones comes from Infidel Bloggers Alliance:
Here's a theory from the comments section:
It is the US working on Surveillance tech that they will deploy across the entire US especially in more rural areas where there is not a camera on every building and street light.
end
I know; the claim being made (only after a general public outcry that we were being treated like mushrooms, kept in the dark and fed fertilizer) is that it is Iran flying these drones. Perhaps,but I ask why, and I ask how; we don't keep tabs on Iranian naval craft in international waters off our coasts? Really?
What if that ship is carrying nuclear weapons on intermediate range missiles?
And whysurveille Jersey? The people there don't want to look at Jersey...
No,Is suspect our government chose the easiest boogeyman to pin it on. I think it is our government doing this.
The commenter at IFA may well be right.

What Happens Now with Iran?
Timothy Birdnow
Here is a Wall Street Journal article analysing the impact of the collapse of the Assad regime in Syria on Iran. The author makes some good points.
She argues this cuts Iran off from Hezbollah, it's proxy military in Syria and Lebanon, for instance. And that it will hurt Iran's illicit economy. Now iranian oil flows to the coast via Syria and could now be stopped if Trump reimposes a boycott.
The problem is the Islamists will probably take over in Syria. But they may hold the Sunni hatred for the Shiite Medes and Persians that is common in the region.
The author also argues Iran may speed up it's nuclear weapons program. I have little doubt of that.
Anyway, it's worth your time.

CDC Goes Bananas with Vaccines
Timothy Birdnow
They didn't learn a thing from the Covid fiasco!
CDC Rolls Out 200 "Routine" Vaccines for 2025- Way Up from 1983's Seven Routing Childhood Injectins, Zero for Adults and Women
Hopefully under Trump this number will be cut way down.
One wonders at this; how can they not have learned that every time they inject someone there is a chance of an adverse effect and giving kids two hundred could do all sorts of untold damage.
At some point you have to ask why they are doing this; certainly it's not a benefit any longer to the children.
Among the jabs recommended are Covid 19 shots for children (proven both dangerous and ineffective, especially for kids) as well as shots for the latest Covid and Monkeypox. The CDC is well aware that the clot shot killed 163 kids and injured another 57,622 of them.
Bill Gates, one of the great champions of vaccinations, has been credibly accused of spiking vaccines with drugs to sterilize women in Africa. See this paper in Ressearchgate. Led by men like Gates and the World Economic Forum, there has been a strong push to "depopulate" the Earth. One wonders about what is being slipped into all these vaccines being forced on American children by the CDC.
(BTW Bill Gates called for making the '20's "the decade for vaccines" and wants to inject as much foreign toxins in people as their bodies will hold.)
Also, even if all of this is purely well-intentioned, we know there are sometimes long-term effects not immediately apparent from vaccines and also that diseases mutate to find a way around the antibodies produced. What we are doing is creating a situation where new diseases are being bred. It's a gigantic biological weapons laboratory, turning everyone into an incubator for new diseases.
We have reduced the use of antibiotics because we were making superbugs, and now we are making superbugs using vaccinations.
I'm not anti-vax by any means. I never had polio, or measles, or mumps, or diptheria, or smallpox and I can thank the vaccinations for those. But there is a range one must stay in; more is not always better, most especially in bioligy where balance is always king. You need some potassium in your diet but too much will kill you. The same no doubt holds true for vaccinations.
But then the pharmaceutical companies would lose money and stop giving to our noble representatives in Congress.

DOJ Spied on Patel

The Biden/Garland DOJ spied on Kash Patel prior to Trump choosing him to run the show.
Does this surprise anyone?

Rich Lowry Afraid of Trump Justice
Timothy Birdnow
Rich Lowry misses the whole point.
Trump Must Resist Lawrare to Let Success be his Best Revenge
It ain't lawfare Rich; it's justice. We need to hold these leftists accountable for their crimes (and they are crimes). Break the law and take the paw!
Also, if there is not punishment for misusing the law the Left will do it again and again. The only way this stops is by making it clear the consequences are severe. Liberals are like children in that regard; they will do whatever they can get away with.
Trump should "let success be his best revenge" but how will he have success if they continue the lawfare against him? The only way to stop it is to pursue them with equal fervor. Success IS going after them; it is one of the reforms Trump was elected to make. The public was rightly horrified at what they did to Trump.
Again, we aren't talking about Lawfare, a point that seems to escape Mr. Lowry. We are talking about making them answer for their crimes.
But then Rich and National Review have hated Trump from the beginning and sought to destroy him along with the Democrats,so perhaps this is purely self-serving on Lowry's part. Maybe he fears the scales of justice too?

Libs Celebrate CEO Murder
Timothy Birdnow
The Left is going insane and Sunny Hostin is proof. She is excusing the murder of the United Healtcare CEO because, in her words, Sunny Hostin Excuses United Healthcare CEO Killer, Says "This Country Was Built On Violence”
Meanwhile cigar store Injun Elizabeth "Fauxcohonas" Warren calls tthe murder "a warning"
Let me issue my own warning to these radicals; if you keep promoting violence you will wind up in jail. There is a new sheriff in town and he won't tolerate your lawless mouths. And yes, freedom of speech ends at the tip of my nose; you can say what you please but when you are calling for violence that becomes another matter.
(Yes, Brandenberg v. Ohio sets a high bar for incitement to violence,but it doesn't eliminate it completely.)
I seem to remember Warren and Hostin both accusing Trump of inciting violence on J6, even though he called for peaceful protest. But what these two are doing transcends that.
And it is the rankest hypocrisy from them.
Even if it is not illegal it most assuredly bespeaks their revolutionary, violence-laden mindsets. The Left has become totally unhinged. And when the Left becomes unhinged they are not restrained by religious moral codes which restrain most on the right; it's nothing but a man-made law they are breaking and, in their minds, it is a necessary evil because the other side is so bad. Laws to the Left are always suggestions and they are rules that apply primarily to restrain the right.
So the defense of the murderer in this case should come as no surprise to anyone. But it needs to be sanctioned and punished to the best of our abilities lest the infection spread.

Trudy Trashes Trump
Timothy Birdnow
Not sure I agree with this, although he makes some good points.
Governor of 51st State Whines that Trump Isn't a Woman
The author thinks this will hurt Trudeau and I am not at all sure. Canada is NOT the U.S. They speak like we do, dress like we do, and in many ways are strikingly similar to us, but there are differences, as any Canadian will insist. They DO have some national pride. I suspect Trudeau is trying to touch on that pride by looking down his Frog-Canucck nose at Americans for electing so boorish a lout as Mr. Trump. He's hoping to draw on Canadian pride with this.
But Trudey certainly misses the mark. He's cruisin' for an ego bruisin from the master mocker.
He's not used to the kind of war of words that he'll get from Trump. Canada highly values politeness - Mr. Trump has no use for it.
This is a kid playing AA ball moving into the Majors. He's woefully out of his league.

Pelosi the Heretic
Timothy Birdnow
Nancy Pelosi was excommunicated by her Bishop for her pro-abortion and other anti-Catholic policy positions but the woman is just determined to reside in the nether regions and has openly defied the Church and is receiving Communion anyway.
To receive Communion unworthily is another sin, a bad one, a mortal sin, the kind leading to eternal damnation.
If Pelosi doesn't agree with the Church she should quit and join, say, the Old Catholics who I believe are o.k. with abortion.
But she continues to call herself Catholic and defies the Church openly and willfully.
We need to pray for her soul. I will, although my heart really isn't in it. But damnation is something you cannot wish on anyone, even the very worst people, because it is eternal. Purgatory, sure,but not damnation. We want justice - damnation really isn't justice but it's what some people choose.

Wray Goes Away
Timothy Birdnow
Christopher Wray runs for the tall grass.
Yes, the duplicitous Wray, who was appointed by Trump then went native and led the charge to take his benefactor out, is leaving town as fast as possible before the ax falls on his head.
The incoming Trump Administration should not let him get away that easily. He needs to answer for his crimes.

Antenora and the Biden Administration
Timothy Birdnow
Joe Biden wants to punish America and is content to blow up the whole world to do it.
Turns out he gave ten BILLION dollars in sanctions relief just days after Trump's election.
FTA:
And this while Iran was supporting terrorist attacks on Israel.
I fear for Joe Biden's soul, I really do. If he is the one making these decisions then he may face a very, very hot time in the hereafter. Whoever is making these decisions is facing damnation, in my view. Of course it could be a very COLD damnation if Dante was correct; traitors to kin or country wound up in Antenora, where their spiritual bodies were frozen in an icey lake, a lake chilled by the endless breeze from Satan's wings as he tried to fly out of his prison. That's where the whole Biden Administration will end up if Dante's vision was accurate.

FTA:
On November 8, Secretary of State Antony Blinken determined that "it is in the national security interest of the United States” to waive mandatory economic sanctions that bar Iraq from transferring over $10 billion to Iran in electricity import payments.
The Biden State Department tweaked the waiver last year to allow Tehran to convert the funds from Iraqi dinars to euros, then hold those euros in bank accounts based in Oman.
Iran’s access to currencies like the euro allows it to easily spend cash in international markets.

Of course it could be a very COLD damnation if Dante was correct; traitors to kin or country wound up in Antenora, where their spiritual bodies were frozen in an icey lake, a lake chilled by the endless breeze from Satan's wings as he tried to fly out of his prison. That's where the whole Biden Administration will end up if Dante's vision was accurate.

Go Woke Go Broke!
Timothy Birdnow
A crazy Idaho hair stylist has wrecked her own business after an unhinged anti-Trump rant in which she calls for her Trump-supporting customers to go away.
Says she'd rather work at Chipotles. Looks like she'll get the chance.

Killing Healthcare
Timothy Birdnow
Here is a story aboutt Luigi Mangione and his manifesto and other documents.
I won't summarize; you can read it for yourself. I just wanted to comment on one or two items.
First, the kid had a complete temper tantrum when being brought into his court hearing. He complained "it's totally unfair". Unfair? Isn't shooting a man in the back unfair? If he had any balls he would have given his victim a gun, or a knife and used a knife himself so there was a fair fight.
This only proves what an entitled, spoiled brat Mangione is.
Second, there is this little bit of horsepoop promoted by the leftist Daily Beast when discussing Mangione's hatred of health insurance companies:
"It claimed that the United States had the 'most expensive healthcare system in the world,' but blasted the system for making America only the 42nd in life expectancy.
According to the most recent data published by the World Health Organization in 2020 found that life expectancy in the US was 78-and-a-half years for both men and women - ranking it 40th compared to other countries.
A 2023 report by the World Economic Forum also found that the US had the most expensive healthcare compared to other mostly Western countries in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.
It reported that Americans were spending an estimated $12,318 per person in 2021, compared to $7,383 spent per person in Germany, the second most expensive system."
end
Notice this comes from the intenational socialist World Economic Forum.
But it in no way asks WHY and assumes the cause is greedy health insurance companies. But is it.
IF this data is correct (and I rather suspect not but am not going to waste a large amount of time digging for better data) one must ask why Canadians,with their wonderful free healthcare, come here for treatment on a regular basis. And it comes back to the dirty little secret - America is chock full of Third World immigrants, both legal and illegal, coming from nations where people die at an early age from diseases that are treatable.
America currently has sixty million aliens, legal and illegal, residing here. In other words we have a Third World nation hidden inside of the First World America. Many of the legals get decent healthcare, no doubt, but the illegals almost all do not go for care except when the must, and then it's to the emergency room.
The diseases they bring with them, and the damage to their bodies from their past lives, guarantees early senescence and death. And it is THEY who drive the life expectancy down.
Ditto with the black community, where many of the black folks don't go to doctors out of fear of some sort of genocide as many in their community paranoidly believe.
Also, life expectancy is dragged down through death by violence. Both the Hispanic community and the African American community suffers from that particular malady. Crime, my friends, leads America to a lower life expectancy. The people blaming insurance companies for that are the same folks who won't take criminals off the streets.
One must ask, too, why it's more expensive to get healthcare coverage in America. Well, for starters, the U.S. government makes these companies cover everyone regardless of their health status, which means they have to charge the rest of their customers more. It is illegal to deny coverage.
In Germany and the other European nations they have government run healthcare systems and so their population pays less AT THE SERVICE PROVIDER but pays more in taxes. And of course they don't have to pay much for national defense, something costing America and arm and a leg as we not only protect ourselves but much of the world and that means our taxes are rather high.
We have far superior health care, as that business about Canadians coming here proves.
I would add our current system is broken indeed, but who broke it? Mostly it was the government, going all the way back to FDR.
FDR started the employer-based healthcare system in America. He pushed taxes up so high on income that employers began offering compensation in other ways, ways not taxed. One such form of compensation was health insurance for their workers. It was cheap then. But it became the standard for obtaining insurance and the insurance companies worked it out so there were groups - usually companies - where the price was tied to the amount of money coming in from that group and the amount being handed out as benefits. Small businesses paid a lot more for insurance than big corporations as a result. You also had labor unions forming enormous groups which favored this approach.
Then came Medicare, which was a disaster for medical prices. Now the government was setting prices by refusing to pay market rates, and demanding companies lose money by following a schedual of compensation. These companies aren't in business to lose money; they simply raised prices to cover their losses. Hospitals too raised prices because the insurance companies always tried to lowball them - and because the government made them treat patients who couldn't pay. So they jacked up the rates to cover their losses elsewhere.
It's been on an upward trajectory ever since. And the solution the Left and our government has always turned to is more of the same, more government intervention, larger, more expansive medical alliances, etc. Consolidation and more government regulation just drove prices upward and care down.
At any rate we now have a quasi-government payer program thanks to Obama and it only metastasized the problem and eliminated competition. Most doctors are now part of these big healthcare corporations; the independent doctor is a rare critter indeed, and endangered species. And now all doctors are specialists because that is the only way they can make enough money to pay off their student loans. And pay their malpractice insurance, which has gone through the roof thanks to the big trial lawyers chasing million dollar malpractice cases. And THAT was another thing empowered by our government.
But nobody wants to talk about any of that, or look at the obvious which is that private market insurance would actually bring prices down and care up. We do not have a free market-based system,but a voluntary socialism, a socialism akin to Nazi economics.
It's called corporatism.
Look, I hate these big insurance companies as much as anyone. Anthem Blue Cross wanted to let me die from heart failure, and I do mean that. They refused to cover a lifevest, which is a gadget designed to restart your heart if it stops (and mine was about to stop). They said it was "not medically necessary" because they only approe it in cases of people waiting to get pacemaker/defibrilators installed and I was not eligible for one because they require "six months of careful study" before they will implant one. So I was supposed to wait six months when my heart was on the verge of stopping. May as well just tell me "go away and die already".
I appealed to the State of Missouri and went through arbitration. The arbitrator heard my side of the story and read their letter to me. Her exact words were "Oh MY God!" She couldn't believe how callous and idiotic they were. I won the case and got my $12,000 bill payed.
I've had many other problems with them.
So I don't have any love for these companies, but you cannot lay the blame for this solely on them; much of it is a case of very bad public policy, policy promoted by the Left, by The Daily Beast types.
Mangione could have taken action against these companies, sure, but legal action. More importantly he could have promoted free market competition - the best, quickest way to reform the system.
Corporations do what they do for a reason. Generally money is made by serving the public, but with these big corporations and with America's health care system money is to be made by pleasing government and the providers and not the patient. The patient isn't the customer, even though he's the one sending in money. They rightly see the patient as a captive market with no choice. That is what is wrong with the system; the only way these companies make money (their primary purpose for existing) is to treat the patient like a ward of the system and not a paying customer. They WANT few companies in any given market so they can make their profits and not have to worry about pleasing the patients. Competition would force them to be more responsive to the public.
But guys like Mangione and the folks at Daily Beast want to move in the exact opposite direction.
I remember a sketch by the good folks at Monty Python's Flying circus back in the '70's where a patient had turned into a skeleton while waiting to see a doctor at a British Health Service hospital. They saw back then how this worked. We should have listened to the good folks at Monty Python.

A Boycott of "Jewish Science"
Timothy Birdnow
Remember how Hitler gave orders not to use "Jewish science" to develop the atomic bomb or other weapons? Well, there has been a quiet by systematic effort to suppress "Jewish science" throughout the world and in America.

Israel Sinks Syrian Navy

I didn't know Syria had a fleet; I rather thought they just sailed out to defend the coast in rafts or something.
