From Michael Shellenberger - a Democrat BTW:

"BOMBGATE: This Video Proves FBI Is Covering Up The Truth About The January 6 “Bomb”

We must be blunt: the FBI is a dangerous, politicized, and rogue agency that must be brought to heel"


"And what was the worst crime? The attempted assassination of Vice President-elect Kamala Harris while she was at the Democratic National Committee.

In other words, while the FBI had cell phone data for the January 6 protesters, none of whom tried to kill anyone, it doesn’t have the cell phone data for the one person who did.

And while the FBI had 14,000 hours of high-quality surveillance video for the January 6 protesters, it somehow does not have any video of the suspect actually leaving the bomb. Nor does it have high-quality video, including from the best angles, of the suspect.

That's an unbelievable coincidence.

And it gets worse.

Last year, the person who was in charge of the FBI investigation, the head of the Washington Field Office, admitted to Rep. Thomas Massie that the Vice President’s life was never at risk.

Massie: Do you think it was technically possible for a kitchen timer –

Steven D'Antuono: No, no.

Massie: — that has 1-hour duration —

D'Antuono: No.

Massie: — to detonate a bomb 17 hours later?

D'Antuono: No, I don't. And I saw the same kitchen timer as you. I agree. I don't know when they were supposed to go off. Maybe they weren't supposed to go off. We can't — we don't know. We honestly don't know…

Neither the FBI nor the DOJ ever announced that they had changed their mind about the bomb. Nor had they, or Harris, or anyone else, ever said publicly that Harris was at the DNC until late 2021, which is shocking since had January 6 protesters truly tried to kill the Vice President, an ambitious politician in her right mind would have milked that fact to maximum effect for years to come. In the case of the Vice President, it’s the kind of thing that might have earned her the presidency.

Enough is enough..."

“We need to remember what normal feels like.” —Nikki

No shit. I’ll take what the world was like 15 years ago. I think most people would. The U.S. has gone off the rails the last 15 years, we should all demand it get back to normal.

With the internet all of the fringe groups can now find each other and amplify their stupidity in an outsized way. Look no further than the dumbest conspiracy theory of Q-Annon spreading like wild fire.

It also doesn't help that 24 hour news is a beast that constantly needs to be fed. It leads to a rumor of one idiot eating a tide pod to become a weeks long national news story. Everything has to be covered as though it is a crisis or we will not tune in.

I'm pretty sure this won't help us:

Privately, Trump has discussed with advisers the possibility of imposing a flat 60 percent tariff on all Chinese imports, according to three people familiar with the matter who spoke on the condition of anonymity to relay private conversations.

Trump, much like his followers, don’t understand how the economy works. They’ll just say something really stupid like “he’s so tough on China.”

BeetleJuice was one of the better plays this season. Would recommend it for sure. As for Dead Mom, that's a don't ask, don't tell question.

It's bad enough that Biden's feckless foreign policy has resulted in hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians to be slaughtered for no reason, now it's getting US troops killed.
