Top US general warned of ‘Reichstag
moment’ in Trump’s turbulent last days
Posted By: Imright, 7/14/2021 11:11:07 PM
Shortly before the deadly attack on the US Capitol on 6 January, the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, Gen Mark Milley, told aides the US was facing a “Reichstag moment” because Donald Trump was preaching “the gospel of the Führer”, according to an eagerly awaited book about Trump’s last year in office. The excerpts from I Alone Can Fix This, by Carol Leonnig and Philip Rucker, were reported by New York magazine on Wednesday. The authors’ employer, the Washington Post, published the first extract from the book a day earlier. It will be published next week.

The Democratic Party’s Jan. 6 commission has begun and it has reignited the debate over the events of the assault on the U.S. Capitol building which occurred six months ago. The first day was jam-packed with accusations of white supremacy, outright lies, and even an outpouring of crocodile tears. But the all-important question is: Will the American public see through the obvious politicking involved in this sham of a hearing?AJ Swinson, the chief of staff for New Journey PAC, ripped open the curtain during an appearance on Black News Channel’s “Start Your Day” in which she discussed the affair.
On Wednesday’s broadcast of CNN’s “New Day,” CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky stated that if there are areas where “we have full vaccination in schools, we have full vaccination in teachers, all of those are documented, we have disease rates that are low,” then they can think about loosening up mask rules in schools.Co-host John Berman asked, “If all kids in a classroom were vaccinated, would there be a need to wear masks?”Walensky answered, “We have always said that our guidance has to be taken to the local level. And this is — I can imagine a situation where a school system might have all of their teachers

Democrat Seattle Mayor Jenny Durken is calling for more police after six shootings over the weekend and a loss of 250 officers within the last 17 months has left her city in chaos.Five of the six weekend shootings occurred within blocks of one another and left four people dead and seven injured in their wake.“As a city, we cannot continue on this current trajectory of losing police officers,” Mayor Durkan said at a press conference. “Over the past 17 months, the Seattle Police Department has lost 250 police officers which is the equivalent of over 300,000 service hours. We’re on path to losing 300 police officers.”Like other Democrat-run metropolitan cities
America may have its first mixed-race vice president, its first African American secretary of defense and its first Latino and immigrant as secretary of homeland security, but the country has never been so racist. That, at least, is one of the disturbing conclusions being drawn from a new Gallup poll, which found that the share of Americans reporting that race relations are bad or “somewhat” bad has reached 57 percent — the highest it’s been in two decades.But are its findings really evidence of widespread racism in the US? Hardly. In fact, you need only look at the behavior of Americans — at the number of
The NYPD has identified the man who allegedly killed a 58-year-old woman during a botched robbery in a Manhattan subway station.David Robinson, 52, is being sought in connection to the death of Than Htwe, who was with her son when they were attacked from behind on July 17 at the Broadway and Canal Q line station in Chinatown, according to police.Robinson allegedly grabbed Htwe’s son’s backpack as they were going up the stairs — sending the pair tumbling down, cops said.The NYPD released a photo of Robinson
President Joe Biden continues to be a total embarrassment for the United States of America. During a speech on Wednesday in Allentown, Pennsylvania, the president gave a speech on American manufacturing.At one point during the speech, Biden confused former Presidents Barack Obama and Donald Trump when talking about the 2009 recession. Biden then claimed that his slip, which many think is due to mental decline or dementia, was just a “freudian slip.” How do you forget who you were in office with for 8 years?“Back in 2009, during the so-called ‘Great Recession,’ the President asked me to be in charge of managing that piece – then-President Trump – excuse me,
A witness captured a group of women running out of a San Francisco CVS Pharmacy with bags allegedly stuffed full of stolen items as a spree of retail thefts continue to plague the city. The incident, first reported by KTVU FOX2 reporter Henry K. Lee, happened around 5 p.m. Monday at the drugstore located at Van Ness Avenue and Jackson Street.Witness Steve Adams told Lee that the four women were "picking the place dry" and that when he asked store employees if they were going to call police, "they just shrugged."
McCormick & Company Inc. is “initiating a voluntary recall” of three popular seasonings due to a possible widespread salmonella contamination.McCormick Perfect Pinch Italian Seasoning, McCormick Culinary Italian Seasoning and Frank’s RedHot Buffalo Ranch Seasoning have all been yanked from major chain stores, according to an alert Thursday from the US Food and Drug Administration.The affected products were shipped to 32 US states, Bermuda and Canada between June 20 and July 21.

Last month, the Department of Justice announced it was suing Georgia, claiming the state's election integrity law violates the Voting Rights Act.This is yet another abuse of power by President Joe Biden’s DOJ. Earlier this year, Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Pam Karlan attempted to intimidate the people running the Maricopa County audit in Arizona.The DOJ complaint reads like a swampy fever dream, full of conspiracies and plots to block access to the ballot box.Remember, the Georgia law merely requires mail-in ballots to have what in-person voters have: proof the person casting the ballot is who they say they are.
The Biden administration is announcing a new, proposed "Buy American" rule that federal officials say marks "the most robust changes to implementation of the Buy American Act in almost 70 years."Signed in 1933, the Buy American Act requires the federal government to only purchase goods determined to be at least 55% manufactured in the United States. The new proposed rule, which the administration will seek comment on for the next two months before publishing an official rule change, would immediately increase the domestic component threshold to 60% and gradually increase the threshold to 75% over the next decade.

U.S. Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn is not a doctor, and he apparently isn’t playing one on TV, prompting his lawyer to subsequently try to justify his client’s apparent perpetuation of January 6-related mythology.On day one of the congressional investigative committee hearings into the January 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol, Dunn began his testimony, in what seems like an orchestrated moment for corporate media, by calling for a moment of silence for fellow officer Brian Sicknick who “died from injuries he sustained in the line of duty…”Dunn, whom Fox News host Tucker Carlson has previously described as an “angry, left-wing political activist,” made this statement despite
Hunter Biden, who recently transitioned to a career as an artist, is now living in a gorgeous Malibu, California rental home with a built-in art studio.The president's son is said to be paying $20,000 a month in rent to live at the property with his wife Melissa Cohen and their one-year-old son Beau. Biden moved into the 3,000-square-foot, four-bedroom, 2.5-bath home about four months ago, TMZ reported, leaving behind the $5.4million mansion he had been renting in Venice Beach because it afforded the family too little privacy. His new Malibu home features an open floor plan and touts solid oak floors,

Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) on Monday said it is the community’s mission to get more people vaccinated, previewing his administration’s desire to knock on doors, put unvaccinated people in cars, and drive them to “get that vaccine in their arm.”
“I wear a mask because I care about you. I get a vaccine because I care about you,” Cuomo said, framing compliance to various methods of government coercion as an expression of selflessness.
“We understand that we are all in this together. We understand that as goes one goes all in this city where we all live together and in this state where we all live together,” he continued.
Forty-eight-year political veteran President Biden raised eyebrows on Wednesday when he claimed to have driven an 18-wheeler truck — a claim the White House struggled to defend. Biden was visiting a Mack Truck facility in Pennsylvania when he made the claim to have driven the massive trucks before, which require a special kind of license. "I used to drive an 18-wheeler, man," Biden said on Wednesday in a video posted to Twitter. "I got to." (Tweet) There is scant evidence that Biden has ever driven an 18-wheeler truck. When asked if the president had ever driven such a truck, a White
Unreal! The Biden DOJ put out a warning to states who choose to audit the fraudulent 2020 election results!
First, they threatened Arizona. Now they’re threatening the rest of the country!
ABC News reported:
The Justice Department on Wednesday released guidance intended to caution states embarking on so-called post-election ‘audits’ of vote counts for the 2020 presidential election that they must not run afoul of federal voting laws.
The guidance, previously previewed last month by Attorney General Merrick Garland in his policy address on voting rights, outlines federal statutes that the department says elections officials must adhere to during such “audits,” such as preserving all federal elections materials
Perhaps it’s because I grew up surrounded by extraordinarily tough people, but I found myself singularly unmoved by the spectacle in the House on Tuesday, which reminded me of a bad mash-up of Dr. Phil, Oprah, and BLM-produced soap opera, rather than a legitimate inquiry into an event that Democrats have seized upon to consolidate their power by destroying their opposition. As sobbing congressmen and Capitol Police officers took turns talking about their psychic injuries, I was alternately embarrassed for them if they were really that weak, and frightened of them if they were that sociopathic as a pathway to power.
Sympathy for Simone Biles

Simone Biles, the main reason anyone wants to watch the Olympics, given her thrilling artistic gymnastics, has pulled out of the U.S. team events, and since then, even the individual all-around event, citing her mental health (snip) Certain people on the right, who shall be nameless, criticized her as a "quitter." Others said she was too self-focused, and still others said she was a wokester or snowflake.
But that's not fair to her, given that she wanted to win. Her decision was practical and quite selfless in that in pulling out she gave the rest of her team the placement to win the silver

When it comes to political and social demonstrations during the Tokyo Olympics, 2021 is the year of women. Female athletes have attracted the spotlight on the international stage by championing racial equality and taking ownership of what they wear during competitions. "Historically, we've seen the role of patriarchy sort of supersede ... the voices, lived experiences of girls and women on the Olympic stage," said Akilah Carter-Francique, executive director of the Institute for the Study of Sport, Society and Social Change at San Jose State University. "What we're seeing now is an acknowledgment of their value in their perspective on many
My TV has been broken for over a year (OK, maybe I don’t know how to work the remote) but I watched a little of the Olympics at a friend’s house this week.
I learned something from the advertisements. I learned that most people in this country are black, and all of the good ones are.
Blacks, who comprise about 13% of the U.S. population, comprise most of the actors in the advertisements. Aliens in faraway worlds receiving television signals from earth are apt to conclude that the most powerful culture on Earth is run by good black people.

Simone Biles, the superstar gymnast from the U.S., will not participate in the individual all-around competition at the Tokyo Games and will instead focus on her mental well-being, USA Gymnastics said in a statement early Wednesday.
The decision comes a day after she pulled out of the team all-around competition.
Jade Carey, who finished ninth in qualifying, will take Biles’ place in the individual all-around competition.
Greta Thunberg said she is 'extremely grateful and privileged' to receive her first dose of the Covid-19 vaccination—and blasted the distribution of the jab worldwide as 'extremely unequal'. The Swedish climate activist, 18, tweeted a photograph of herself wearing a fox-print face covering with a plaster on her upper arm, using the hashtags '#VaccineEquity' and '#VaccineForAll'.(Snip) But she went on: 'The vaccine distribution around the world is extremely unequal.

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director Rochelle Walensky suggested that vaccine passport-style systems might be implemented in the United States amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
When asked in a TV interview Wednesday about whether the United States would mandate a European-style “health pass” system for nightclubs or bars, Walensky said, “That may very well be a path forward.” The director further said that “in some fully vaccinated venues,” it “is possible” for a fully vaccinated individual to transmit and pick up COVID-19 “in those settings” and added that federal officials have “seen that” during studies. Her comments came after the CDC announced Tuesday it would recommend people wear masks
