Speaker Johnson to make all Jan. 6 tapes available to public 'immediately'.

 


Speaker Johnson to make all Jan. 6 tapes available to public 'immediately' | Washington Examiner   "The tapes will be posted on a public website and contain more than 44,000 hours of security footage taken during the Jan. 6 riot, barring any video that contains sensitive security information or "information that would lead to retaliation of private citizens," according to the speaker's office. The website launched Friday with its first tranche of footage, and the House Administration Committee will continue posting additional videos over the next several months.

"This decision will provide millions of Americans, criminal defendants, public interest organizations, and the media an ability to see for themselves what happened that day, rather than having to rely upon the interpretation of a small group of government officials," Johnson said in a statement.

"The videos will blur the faces of private citizens to ensure no one is "targeted for retaliation of any kind," the speaker said. Roughly 5% of the video footage will not be posted due to sensitive security information "related to the building architecture."

The public will also have an option to view the footage in person at the Capitol building inside the subcommittee’s offices. The public can begin reserving time to view the videos on Monday.

“ 'The goal of our investigation has been to provide the American people with transparency on what happened at the Capitol on January 6, 2021 and this includes all official video from that day,” said Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-GA), chairman of the House Administration Committee's Oversight Subcommittee. “We will continue loading video footage as we conduct our investigation and continue to review footage. As I’ve said all along — the American people deserve transparency, accountability, and real answers supported by facts instead a predetermined political narrative." . . .

Two more Fox News mega-stars morph into "Chris Wallace 2.0" and POUNCE...

Revolver News   "The regime’s loyalists have united and are currently targeting Elon Musk, their second-most prominent political enemy (Trump is always at the top of their list). They’ve initiated an all-out attack against Elon and X, enlisting the tyrants over at “Media Matters,” one of their most formidable enforcement goons. Media Matters is picking up where the ADL failed and is attempting to dismantle the social media platform by persuading corporate America to withdraw advertising, thereby crippling Elon’s revenue. The situation has become so dire and seemingly corrupt that Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has stepped in, launching an investigation into this alleged collusion.

Political Insider:

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has opened an investigation into Media Matters For America (MMFA) regarding “potential fraudulent activity” in their quest to shut down the X social media platform, formerly known as Twitter.

The move comes just days after X CEO Elon Musk announced that he was preparing a “thermonuclear” lawsuit against the far-left group of bloggers and journalists.

Media Matters initially published a report on Friday accusing X of placing ads next to “white nationalist hashtags,” a specious claim in which Musk argues the group used manipulated data and misrepresentations of reality to portray a false narrative.

Paxton’s office released a statement saying that they find Media Matters’ actions troubling.

“We are examining the issue closely to ensure that the public has not been deceived by the schemes of radical left-wing organizations who would like nothing more than to limit freedom by reducing participation in the public square,” Paxton said.

"And if it isn’t clear by now, this is precisely why the uni-party regime wanted to silence Ken Paxton. Thankfully, they failed, and he’s still battling for freedom." . . .

As a matter of fact, two prominent stars over at Fox News have become entangled in this and now sound like Chris Wallace on steroids. Here’s what Gregg Re said in a post on X, calling out Howard Kurtz and Bret Baier for their shameless attacks on Elon Musk and their twisted defense of the divisive, racist hate mongers over at the ADL:

Hamas and its supporters around the world are worse than Nazis -

WATCH: Greta Thunberg Takes the Mask Off Fully, as She Chants to 'Crush Zionism' at Disturbing Rally – RedState  "The left has pushed forward Greta Thunberg for years now, to tout their climate change agenda. You weren't allowed to criticize her, according to them, because she was a teen. Yet they still wanted you to accept what this child, who had no scientific background, was saying. And because it was about pushing the agenda wrapped in a package, you weren't supposed to criticize or point out any problems." . . .

Andrea Widburg; American Thinker   "World War II historian Andrew Roberts has a powerful essay making an important point: Hamas is worse than the Nazis because the Nazis still had a sufficient moral compass to be embarrassed by their genocidal crimes, while Hamas and its supporters are loud and proud. And when I say supporters, I don’t just mean the Gazastanians, a huge majority of whom support both Hamas and the massacre of Israelis. I mean their collaborators in the West, too, with the execrable Greta Thunberg as Exhibit A.

"Roberts writes that, while still lacking the wherewithal to kill six million Jews, Hamas and the whole panoply of antisemitic Jihadists are “qualitatively worse than the Nazis in their belief systems, impulses, and instincts.” The reason?

In October 1943 Heinrich Himmler, the head of the SS, delivered a notorious speech to 50 of his senior lieutenants in Posen. “I want to speak frankly to you about an extremely grave matter,” he said. “We can talk about it among ourselves, yet we will never speak of it in public. … I am referring to the evacuation of the Jews, the extermination of the Jewish people. … It is a page of glory in our history that has never been written and is never to be written.”

By total contrast, the Hamas killers 80 years later attached GoPro cameras to their helmets so they could livestream their atrocities over social media. Although the Nazis burnt Jews alive in barns on their retreat in 1945, they did not film themselves doing it. There are plenty of photographs of Nazis standing around death-pits full of Jewish corpses, but these were taken for private delectation rather than public consumption.

"When the Soviets approached Auschwitz, the Nazis did everything they could to hide their crimes, whether it was to empty the camps by taking prisoners on death marches or simply destroying the crematoria, which were the infrastructure of mass murder. Moreover, the reason for the gas chambers was that the ordinary German soldier was sickened by slaughtering civilians en masse, even the Jews he’d been taught to believe were subhuman." . . .

Never forget Hamas and their deeds:

Teacher Stands With Israel, Students Riot

Hundreds of students rioted at Hillcrest High School in Queens on Monday, trying to assault a teacher who posted a photo on Facebook of herself with an “I Stand With Israel” sign:

Hundreds of “radicalized” kids rampaged through the halls of a Queens high school this week for nearly two hours after they discovered a teacher had attended a pro-Israel rally — forcing the terrified educator to hide in a locked office as the teen mob tried to push its way into her classroom, The Post has learned.

The mayhem at Hillcrest High School in Jamaica unfolded shortly after 11 a.m. Monday in what students called a pre-planned protest over the teacher’s Facebook profile photo showing her at a pro-Israel rally on Queens Oct. 9 holding a poster saying, “I stand with Israel.”

Hundreds of kids flooded into hallways and ran amok, chanting, jumping, shouting, and waving Palestinian flags or banners." . . .

How do they not know about these murderous deeds by Arabs? 


Why The Left’s Antisemitic Hysterics Shouldn’t Surprise Anyone

 The Federalist

In the wake of Oct. 7, the left’s response makes much more sense when you consider the falsehoods they choose to believe about Israeli history.


. . ."Despite my friend blaming “the occupation” for all the problems of the region and talking about trauma during the Second Intifada when Israel clamped down on the uprising, I found him an honorable and well-intentioned guy, albeit with a view of history I later found to be inaccurate.

"The people I did not find honorable or relatable were the Western volunteers. In fact, I found them to be victimhood parasites, feeding vicariously off the victim narrative under the guise of compassion. This has begun to grate on me more and more in the years since I was in Israel and Palestine and now makes the radical left’s reaction to the situation all the more explainable.

"Much of what was told to me during my time in Palestine was patently false. But the most harmful and untrue narratives didn’t come from Palestinians: They came from the Western leftists pretending to adopt their cause.

"I went on tours and volunteered with Westerners who blithely dismissed murders of Israeli “settlers” in the nearby neighborhood as mere attention-seeking. They glossed over Palestinians running at IDF soldiers in vicious knife attacks, implying it was understandable or at least not that notable.

"Even the Israeli man planting flowers next to the new Jewish homes near Machpelah was clearly full of hate, couldn’t we see? The rest of Hebron where Palestinians resided was immaterial: That didn’t matter; any of their problems were clearly from this small central area they didn’t control! They were victims, they had to stay victims. That was their role." . . .

Has the Left Finally Blown It? - American Thinker

The ‘Complexity’ of Idiocy; The Left is less a political movement than a neurotic clown collective arrogantly spouting toxic imbecility

  American Greatness

 The Left is less a political movement than a neurotic clown collective arrogantly spouting toxic imbecility


"Often, yours truly has expounded (okay, ranted) upon the term “narrative,” which is just an artful euphemism for “lie.” A device drawn from fiction, as opposed to non-fiction, it facilitates lying by eliding the need for providing the facts and proving the truth of one’s assertions. Consequently, it is a boon to propagandists, who can harp on a “narrative” ad nauseum to provoke and persuade the public to do as the purveyor of the lie seeks.

"For the Left, one oft used word signaling an impending narrative is the word “complexity.” Usage of this word allows the Leftist to cull and, importantly, dispense with whatever facts or allegations they choose to create a narrative. This is critical in instances where the facts at hand lead to an ineluctable conclusion – i.e., the truth – that is antithetical to the Left’s aim. Let us explore four instances of the Left’s “complexity” of idiocy driving a narrative harmful to America and the world.

"In American domestic policy, the Left is not content with foisting cancel culture upon the country and coopting the corporate media to control the political debate. The Left wants to silence any dissent to its authoritarian aims. The First Amendment to the United States Constitution recognizes and protects the God-given rights to each citizen of “political rights,” such as free speech. One would think the constitution’s prohibition would be the last word on censorship; but one would be underestimating the Left’s power to pretend the clear prohibition of government censorship is, instead, “complex.”

"Consequently, as they have on college campuses, the Left has been weaponizing federal and state governments both directly and through colluding with private entities to censor free speech.  Creating the camouflage of “complexity” by pretending there exists a transcendent right not to be “offended” and purporting to be promoting “safety,” the censorious Left’s aim is to cloud the truth that the supreme law of the land prohibits the government from infringing upon Americans’ free speech and all political rights. And no amount of faux complexity can obscure the fact that there is nothing more dangerous than a censor." . . .

In the realm of American foreign policy, a classic example is the Left’s obstinate determination to appease the terrorist regime in Iran. Citing imagined “moderate” mullahs, ignoring the Iranian people’s courageous efforts to be free, and abiding the delusion Iran’s nuclear program can be managed for solely energy purposes and separated from the regime’s exportation of terror, the Left has manufactured the complexity it hopes can convince someone other than themselves that this barbarous, tyrannical government does not really mean it when it screams, “Death to America!  Death to Israel!”  Spoiler alert: they really mean it.

Hamas Atrocities Against Israeli Women Met With Deafening Silence

 Townhall   "Misogyny and cultural “norms” subjugating women are widespread in much of the Islamic world. These include female genital mutilation, forced marriages, persecuting women for not dressing according to strict Islamic standards, “honor killings,” and much more.  

"It’s no surprise then, but shocking and horrific nonetheless, that one “weapon” in Hamas’ inhuman massacre of over 1200 people in Israel on October 7, brutalizing thousands, and kidnapping more than 240, including young children and elderly women held hostage in Gaza, was the raping of Israeli women in the process.  Underscoring that these are not individual criminal acts but part of something widespread and deliberate, it’s been described as a sexual pogrom. 

"Adding insult to injury, groups and people that should be advocating for women’s rights and under any other circumstance would be calling out such criminal behavior, have turned a blind eye to the forensic evidence, eyewitness accounts, and confessions of Hamas terrorists as if the victims and sexual crimes didn’t matter just because they are Jews. The evidence is clear. Medical examiners have reported that some of the rapes were so violent that the women’s pelvises were crushed.

"A growing chorus has condemned ignoring these crimes or even denying that they happened using the hashtag, "#Metoo_unless_UR_A_Jew." . . .

More about those women whose hostage posters were torn down by leftists and Muslims. I cannot fathom in the least how those people could align with those who commit these crimes. My political attitude kicks in and I call them Democrat voters who choose the leaders of our nation among whom are the "Squad". TD

A volunteer with Israel's military rabbinate who helped prepare remains of women killed by fighters from Gaza on Oct. 7 stands near refrigerated containers that hold bodies, body parts and ashes at a makeshift morgue for soldiers on the Shura military base near Ramla on Oct. 29

"The first indications of possible sexual violence came as early as Oct. 7, the day that thousands of Hamas and other fighters streamed into Israeli towns and began live-streaming bloodshed and torture.

"Footage showed several women stripped of their clothing. One video showed a woman, her hands zip-tied behind her back, with blood on the crotch of her pants.

"Later came testimony from witnesses and first responders. One witness described in graphic detail a gang rape at the Nova rave site near Re’im. An Israeli reserve combat paramedic told The Post that he found the bodies of teenage girls with signs of sexual assault.

"Combatants from Gaza overran 22 Israeli communities, killed at least 1,200 and took 240 hostage in the surprise attack. But their greater goal, sexual trauma specialists say, was to introduce terror against women — and children and other unarmed civilians — as a means of spreading fear.". . .

They are also kidnapping/killing Israeli civilians thanks to Joe Biden’s $6 billion to Iran, not to mention restoration of the hundreds of millions of US taxpayer dollars to the Palestinians that Donald Trump had cut off when he was in office."

Newsom's Weird Obsession with DeSantis Grows –

  HotAir  

California residents are leaving the state in record numbers. Not all are going to Florida but a lot of them are. Others are going to Texas or Montana or other red states. They are voting with their feet against Newsom and the agenda of the California progressives. It is, in fact, a red state vs blue state debate. Both men are articulate and able to speak about policy below the surface. I don’t like what Newsom says but he is a smooth talker and doesn’t hesitate to chime in. DeSantis is a policy wonk, which I enjoy. It should be a good event.

"It’s on like Donkey Kong. Governor Gavin Newsom (D-CA) and Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) are scheduled to debate at the end of the month. It’s being called a “Red vs Blue State Debate.”

"This event came about due to Newsom’s obsession with DeSantis. Newsom’s jealousy of DeSantis has brought about a debate for which many people question its necessity. Why would DeSantis waste time debating a progressive Democrat now? It seems like a distraction. Hannity took advantage of Newsom’s focus on DeSantis and asked if he would consider a debate with Hannity as moderator on Fox. Newsom is one of the few progressives who will come on FNC. He was eager to say yes and did so. Hannity asked the same question of DeSantis and he agreed, too. I assume this debate gets around the RNC rule against unsanctioned debates since Newsom is a Democrat and allegedly not running for president.

"We all know that Newsom is running a shadow campaign for president. Democrats admit it. Biden even attempted to joke about Newsom’s presidential ambitions when he was last in California with him. Newsom is clearly waiting in the wings, ready to jump in if Biden decides to retire. It isn’t going to happen, though, because Joe Biden is too stubborn and his ego is too large for him to abandon the race for a second term in the White House. And, Barack Obama would like a fourth term. All of this serves to increase Newsom’s national profile that he will be able to use in 2028. The same may be said of DeSantis if Trump is the Republican nominee in 2024." . . .

What The Latest Attacks On Musk Are Really All About –

  Issues & Insights  

When students and faculty celebrated Hamas’ genocidal butchery against Israel, the left said it was all about free speech and understanding the plight of the “Palestinian” people. When a far-left Michigan congresswoman spewed the genocidal slogan “from the river to the sea,” she was given a pass.

 "Just as Democrats were trying to downplay the rampant antisemitism in their ranks, what happens? Elon Musk, who has lately become something of a darling on the right, suddenly becomes the poster boy for antisemitism. This is how the left works.

"This latest twist started when Media Matters — the George Soros-backed media “watchdog” — released a report claiming that ads for major corporations were appearing next to antisemitic and white supremacist content.

"This is a two-fer for the left. It both attacks Musk — whom the left now hates because he stopped Twitter’s side hustle as the federal government censor — and it takes the spotlight off the left’s virulent antisemitism on display after the Hamas attacks.

"As soon as Musk took over Twitter and promised to live up to the company’s “free speech wing of the free speech party” mantra, the left went into fits of hysterics.

"Media Matters puts it, “Musk has opened the floodgates to hateful content.” Really? Because Twitter was pure as the driven snow before Musk?

"We seem to recall that “blue check” leftists had free reign to say whatever they wanted about conservatives on Twitter, up to and including calls for their assassination. After Donald Trump took office, to cite just one example, “assassinate Trump” was showing up all over Twitter. When Twitter banned Trump before Musk bought the company, it let Ayatollah Ali Khamenei continue to incite hate and violence on its platform. Etc., etc." . . .

The Left's War on Elon Musk Explained – HotAir   "Anyone who follows the comings and goings of the social media world and the way it intersects with American politics has probably noticed the evolution of attitudes toward Elon Musk, particularly on the left. He used to be vaunted by people across the political spectrum. The boy genius billionaire with a generous heart was going to put everyone in electric cars and save humanity by taking us to other planets. But now American liberals have soured on Musk considerably. He regularly faces criticism of a political nature, despite having no specific ties to political parties or candidates." . . .

As we are all too aware, the Democrats and their insidious minions in the media have been working hard to get a head start on pre-gaming next year’s presidential election. They’d prefer that there be no election at all, which is rich given that they’re the ones who say we’re destroying democracy.

Yes, there was violence inside the Capitol on J6, but the police committed it

Andrea Widburg - American Thinker  "The newly released J6 footage is a revelation because it shows that the “insurrection” was not by, of, and for the people, it was by, of, and for the government. When it comes to events inside the Capitol, there’s growing evidence that the violence came not from the people peacefully and reverentially wandering around but from law enforcement. Certainly, the most recent footage appears to bear that out.

"There are two narratives about January 6. The dominant one is the Democrat narrative. Practically within minutes of events on January 6, every Democrat politician and media outlet was claiming an “insurrection.” Endlessly repeated footage and still photos showed a huge crowd outside the Capitol, black-clad masked figures breaking into the Capitol, Trump supporters streaming into the Capitol, and the “QAnon Shaman” (escorted by a guard) surveying the Senate chamber. Police officers had been beaten to death. America was over.

Seldowitz then repeatedly asks, “Did you rape your daughter like Muhammad did?” When the man again says he doesn’t speak English, Seldowitz calls him “ignorant.” “Muhammad, your prophet... He was a rapist,” he says 

"In October, Seldowitz was interviewed about the Israel-Hamas war in an hour-long podcast by Amy Peikoff. Peikoff is former chief policy officer of Parler, a “free speech” social media network favored by right-wing users for its lack of content moderation.  

"He said Hamas was to blame for any Palestinian civilian deaths and said reports about the poor conditions in Gaza are exaggerated. 

"“The Israelis will and have in the past done almost everything that can reasonably be expected to keep civilian casualties down as low as possible,” he said, describing the Israeli Defense Forces as a “moral army.” 

 “Responsibility for the civilian casualties can squarely be laid at the doorstep of Hamas.”    

"Seldowitz also told Peikoff it’s “very hard” for Americans to relate to Palestinians “because their culture, their history, their religion and so on is so different than most of us.” 

"Seldowitz is also a senior consultant in humanitarian diplomacy for GDC". . .

"Going forward, it seems very unlikely he’s ever to serve in a Democrat administration again."
