Crazy Nancy says newly released video of her saying she "takes responsibility" for the National Guard not being deployed on January 6 is "revisionist history" 🤔

7:15 PM · Jun 10, 2024 //

But the funny thing was her claiming the production of her own words was "revisionist history."

In a manner of speaking, she's right; it does revise and help undermine the Democratic narrative. But she can't blame her own words on the GOP or Trump. She's the one admitting it, on video taken by her own daughter. //

Then the man who was the Chief of the Capitol Police at the time, Steven Sund, also weighed in, and he didn't hold back on Pelosi's comment.

Pelosi was surprised we didn’t have National Guard on Jan6?? I was denied National Guard support multiple times before January 6, and repeatedly for 71 minutes ON January 6.
MY STORY HASN’T CHANGED!

🚨 Since January 6, 2021, Nancy Pelosi spent 3+ years and nearly $20 million creating a narrative to blame Donald Trump.

NEW FOOTAGE shows on January 6, Pelosi ADMITTED:

"I take responsibility."

WATCH:
Embedded video
5:53 PM · Jun 10, 2024. //

According to him, the House Sergeant at Arms told the Senate Sergeant at Arms they had to come up with another answer to Sund's request because Pelosi "would never go for it." Oh.

Then, too, Sund pointed out in Congressional testimony that Pelosi had, in fact, spoken to him that day contrary to what she claimed after Jan. 6. So he's saying what Pelosi said about that day wasn't true. //

If the FBI/DOJ/CIA/CP/DNC/HHS/ATF/CBS/ABC/CNN had so many "informants" and special agents embedded in all these organizations around the country and onsite in DC, why were they so woefully unprepared for a peaceful event to turn into a mostly peaceful riot?

Who unlocked the capitol doors?
Who refused National Guard assistance?
Who ordered Capitol Police to fire on the crowd with rubber bullets or whatever?
Who planted the bombs at the DNC and RNC?

Who has been charged with insurrection and been convicted of same?
Why are J6'rs still being held without a trial?
What are the jail conditions for them?
Why aren't their 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, and 14th Amendment rights not being upheld?

Democrats still have a lot to answer for.

GOODWILL: Hey, Joe. Vince Goodwill, Yahoo Sports. For the first time since 1975, this is the NBA Finals where you have two black head coaches. Given the plight, sometimes, of black head coaches in the NBA, do you think this is a significant moment? Do you take pride in this? How do you view this? Or do you not see it at all?

MAZZULLA: I wonder how many of those have been Christian coaches.

The subsequent roaring silence was delicious. //

Goodwill’s petulant screed replying to Mazzulla’s refusal to play the victimhood game is unsurprising. The leftist mind is fiercely determined to view all multi-faceted issues through a monochromatic prism of its own creation. Mazzulla and Dallas Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd are not where they are because of affirmative action or attempts to make up for past injustices. They are coaching in the NBA Finals because they have outstanding teams under them that they have placed in the best position to win. Period. Unfortunately, this is insufficient for the perpetually pouting. //

Look up Morgan Freeman's interview with Don Lemon. He told Lemon to his face his race whining was bullshit (his exact word) and anyone can be anything in America, and the fact he and Lemon were on TV talking about it was ample proof of it. Lemon asked how they get past it if they never discussed it. Freeman said "just stop talking about it. If you want a problem to go away and get past it, stop giving it life."

There is a billionaire who, for the most part, has gone under the radar pushing "reimagining capitalism." His name is Pierre Omidyar. Omidyar was born in France to Iranian parents. He later moved to the United States, where he founded eBay.

With over six billion dollars in personal wealth, he founded the Omidyar Network to influence not just the private sector but, more importantly, to inject human capital into the federal bureaucracy. His intent seems clear: to make structural changes. What type of changes? It’s no secret that Omidyar has his acolytes who are all-in on equal results, not equal treatment. In 2020, his Network produced a pamphlet titled: “Call to Reimagine Capitalism in America.” On its opening page, it calls for:

A more democratic economy is one in which the real creators – working people, consumers, individuals, small businesses, and families – can have equal voice, hold power, and get ahead.

Further into the manifesto, it laments that America is rife with badness:

“structural racism, colonialism, paternalism,”

It calls for:

“an explicitly anti-racist and inclusive economy.” //

Since 2004, the Omidyar Network has spent $1.89 billion on social justice causes. //

The top-heavy influence of the Omidyar Network and related and funded entities and the injection of ideologues is unknown. Soros has had a remarkable influence on local politics by targeting district attorneys and local politicians. Omidyar is influencing policy at the federal level. //

So a rich billionaire with buckets of money wants to create a society where he has more power and the people he says he is "helping" will be totally impoverished by the time he is done.

Its almost as if he accidentally created eBay and made money from it. Because he doesn't really believe in free markets.

There's a bombshell video that has just been released by House GOP investigators about what former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said as she was leaving the Capitol after the rioting on Jan. 6, 2021.

In it, Pelosi takes responsibility for the failure to have adequate security in the place at the Capitol to deal with the riot. //

“We have responsibility, Terri," Pelosi is heard saying on the videotape to her chief of staff, Terri McCullough. "We did not have any accountability for what was going on there, and we should have. This is ridiculous.” //

Pelosi also said: “You’re going to ask me – in the middle of the thing when they’ve already breached the inaugural stuff – ‘should we call the Capitol Police, I mean the National Guard?’ Why weren’t the National Guard there to begin with?”

McCullough, replied as the speaker’s SUV raced through an underground parking garage: “They thought that they had sufficient ... resources."

Pelosi responded, clearly frustrated: "No, that’s not a question of how they had ... they don’t know. They clearly didn’t know. And I take responsibility for not having them just prepare for more.” //

The video was taken by Pelosi's daughter Alexandra as part of her HBO documentary. The House Administration Oversight Subcommittee requested the video from HBO as part of their investigation. The material they obtained has never been released before.

Why is this only coming out now? Why did it take so long to get it? //

I expected to hear her admit she intentionally held back any help (which is what many conservatives believe). In the video, it sounds like she's trying to sound sorry for "not having them prepare for more." To me, this is less a bombshell and more "she really wanted to do the right thing but underestimated" message. It feels staged.

[Repeating my comment from a sister-site:]
Just a note about the bemoaning of the supposed dis-proportionality between the number of dead Arabs versus rescued Israelis. It's not as if the calculus was "Should we kill X people in order to reach the hostages?". According to all reports, the vast majority of Arab casualties occurred after the initial Israeli rescue. After Israeli forces were "in possession" of the hostages and were trying to retreat, they all came under heavy fire and were forced to respond. Israel was initially carrying out a precise in-and-out rescue operation with minimal casualties; it was Hamas and its supporters who elected to unnecessarily turn it into an all-out battle.

Kristi Hamrick, vice president of Media and Policy for Students for Life of America, told the Daily Caller News Foundation that the government is “not prosecuting the crime, they’re just prosecuting the point of view.”

The message is clear: If you are against abortion, then the government is against you – at least under the Biden administration.

I don't hate LGBT people in the least, but I do get a kick out of seeing pride flag murals defaced when painted on roads, and that's because what that flag actually represents isn't love, or unity, or equality. What it represents in tyranny. It's the flag of the LGBT activist community, which has, on many occasions, declared itself to be my enemy.

The Pride flag is usually accompanied by hate and division from the LGBT activist community. Pride Month, for instance, isn't the celebration of people who identify themselves as "queer," but it's an opportunity for corporations and politicians to display their willing submission and obedience to a political cause so that they get their ESG money and don't get canceled by the elite or have business-to-business opportunities taken away.

While corporations might bend the knee, everyone else has to sit and watch as a cause that only applies to a very small fraction of our civilization takes over everything and forces us to take notice in some way, shape, or form. You can't escape it, and that's going to generate a pretty hefty amount of spite. //

The pride flag represents a kind of social dictatorship in our society. //

And if you speak out against any of it, you run the risk of being painted as a social pariah. You could lose your job. You could be harassed by strangers. You could even face a lawsuit or two.

This isn't "love," it's tyranny.

And that's why when a pride flag is vandalized, people cheer or laugh. It's not born out of hate for gays and lesbians, many of whom are lovely people, but out of a disgust for a controlling activist cabal that most reject. They force themselves on society.

The last time a human set the world record for solving a Rubik's Cube, it was Max Park, at 3.13 seconds for a standard 3×3×3 cube, set in June 2023. It is going to be very difficult for any human to pull off a John Henry-like usurping of the new machine record, which is more than 10 times faster, at 0.305 seconds. That's within the accepted time frame for human eye blinking, which averages out to one-third of a second.

TOKUFASTbot, built by Mitsubishi Electric, can actually pull off a solve in as little as 0.204 seconds on video, but not when Guinness World Records judges were measuring. The previous mechanical record was 0.38 seconds.

SpaceX demonstrated Thursday that its towering Super Heavy booster and Starship rocket might one day soon be recovered and reused in the manner Elon Musk has envisioned for the future of space exploration.

For the first time, both elements of the nearly 400-foot-tall (121-meter) rocket not only launched successfully from SpaceX's Starbase facility near Brownsville, Texas, but also came back to Earth for controlled splashdowns at sea. This demonstration is a forerunner to future Starship test flights that will bring the booster, and eventually the upper stage, back to land for reuse again and again.

The two-stage rocket took off from Starbase at 7:50 am CDT (12:50 UTC) and headed east over the Gulf of Mexico with more than 15 million pounds of thrust, roughly twice the power of NASA's Saturn V rocket from the Apollo lunar program of the 1960s and 1970s.

In the wake of the Israel Defense Forces' successful operation to rescue four hostages from captivity in Gaza we're learning more about the conditions in which the hostages lived and who housed them, and once again we're seeing that the native "journalists" covering the conflict are anything but neutral observers.

As we noted in numerous stories about Israel's rescue mission, the four hostages rescued were not held in tunnels or prisons; they were held in the homes of alleged civilians in residential areas in Nuseirat. I say "alleged civilians" because if these people were holding Israeli hostages for eight months they're absolutely part of Hamas and are combatants, not civilians.

One of those alleged civilians, it's now confirmed, was Abdullah Al Jamal, who bills himself as a journalist and who most recently wrote for a United States-based 501(c)(3) NGO, The Palestine Chronicle. He also wrote at least one piece for Al Jazeera. The Israeli government confirmed Sunday that Al Jamal, who was neutralized by IDF rescuers, held three hostages captive in his family home: //

Actually the "hostages" are slaves taken in "battle". It's an ancient Muslim practice when waging Jihad. It wouldn't surprise me if the families paid Hamas for their slaves.

The issue here probably isn't just optics-related. There's likely a legal component as well given there are laws against American organizations aiding and abetting terrorism. Not only was Al Jamal a "correspondent in Gaza" (which dictates he held an official position for the Palestinian Chronicle), but he was also a spokesperson for the Hamas Ministry of Labor. The ties don't get any clearer than that.

Now ask yourself, if Al Jamal was just an innocent bystander gunned down by ruthless Israeli forces, why would the Palestinian Chronicle try to cover up his connection to their organization? That's a question CNN and other American mainstream news outlets won't be asking as they rush to push the Palestinian line about the hostage rescue.

The popular former military chief joined Netanyahu’s government shortly after the Hamas attack in a show of unity. His presence also boosted Israel’s credibility with its international partners. Gantz has good working relations with U.S. officials.

Gantz had previously said he would leave the government by June 8 if Netanyahu did not formulate a new plan for postwar Gaza.

HOLY SH*T.

Macron just announced that he will hold an election in July after his CRUSHING defeat tonight.

The election was supposed to be in 2027.

Readers added context

Macron announced the dissolution of the National Assembly, not an early presidential election. He remains president until 2027. Dissolving the Assembly triggers new legislative elections, allowing for potential changes in parliament without affecting his presidential term.

The call for elections highlights the transforming politics in Europe as opinions are increasingly against the left. Macron is, not surprisingly unhappy, with that:

“The rise of nationalists and demagogues is a danger for our nation and for Europe,” Mr. Macron said. “After this day I cannot go on as though nothing has happened.”

The French leader has always been a passionate supporter of the 27-nation European Union, seeing in it the sole means for Europe to count in the world and calling on it to achieve “strategic autonomy” through ever greater integration. But the political winds have turned in favor of less Europe, not more. //

Even the initial question by the reporter is misleading. She says what is Johnathan's reaction to the four hostages and them getting released. But, they weren't released they where rescued, released would imply that Hamas willingly gave them up to the IDF but they plainly didn't. Rescue though shows that the IDF took them away from Hamas captivity despite Hamas' resistance.

Something similar would be the police rescuing an abused child from their abusive parents vs the the abused child being released from the abusive parents to the police. //

When I did an oh-so-brief semester stint in a Journalism 101 classd thinking I wanted to be one, we learned about these things called "weasel words" that are subtle bias inserted into the story to gently nudge you into agreeing with the author's viewpoint. But now everything is in stark contrast of right v left, the holy v the profane, the rich against the poor, with everyone v white people, especially the ones with dangly bits. There is no need for sublety anymore. The left controls all the institutions. Once you have control, you don't need persuasion. You just need force and compliance.

Our system was always an adversarial one of the people v their government. It is so serious they created an entire Constituion dedicated almost entirely to limiting and separating government power. The press is protected because they are the advocate of the powerless against the powerful.

But the press has chosen sides, and decided to side with the bureaucratic state dedicated to corporatist fascism rather than the people. It in fact attacks the very people it is supposed to be defending. Thus, it is no longer a mechanism of a free society, it is the oppressive tool of the bureaucratic state that exists to reap ever more power over citizens and to sustain itself. When you have the media actually condemning free speech and calling it dangerous and a threat, and openly lying about what we can plainly see is a lie, they have jumped the shark and forfeited their right to protection, and something is very wrong in within the entire institution. //

There is something else going on here that you would think the American Left would be all over--namely, what Israel is learning about life inside Gaza, which reminds so many Jews of what the Americans found when they entered the death camps at the end of World War 2. While Israel is not engaging in genocide, Hamas is engaging in a sort of its own, not seen since Bosnia in the 90s. Namely, Hamas is using this war to kill not only its own people who it views as collaborator with israel, but, increasingly, its war on girls. Hamas needs boys for fighting, but girls are basically useless. It appears that Hamas is intentionally murdering thousands of girls--deaths that they then blame on Israel. Hamas hates women and doesn't want them, except the few they need for sex slaves. This gives us insight why the American Left loves Hamas so much--between abortion and the trans thing and girls sports, the American Left hates girls as much as Hamas does. It's the only way to explain why the Left supports Hamas--because the Left and Hamas believe in the same thing and Biden is their standard bearer. Report that, I dare them. //

I've been needing some light reading this spring, so I've been re-reading old Agatha Christie and Ellis Peters mysteries for the first time in probably 40 years and I noticed something about these books, written by similar English women. At the end of each book, not only is the murderer dealt with, but also order is fully restored which means all the women are securely locked down in the control of strong men. Feminism was supposed to erode this restriction on women running wild, but modern Democrat women seem to be yearning for that order, and if American men won't give it to them, the Imams will. Weird, huh? //
