    BIDEN DUMP ON 9/11! FBI releases first 9/11 document

    THIS IS DEVELOPING..

    CNN REPORTING:

    The Federal Bureau of Investigation on Saturday released the first of what is expected to be several documents related to its investigation of the 9/11 terrorist attacks and suspected Saudi government support for the hijackers, following an executive order by President Joe Biden.The newly declassified document, which is from 2016, provides details of the FBI’s work to investigate the alleged logistical support that a Saudi consular official and a suspected Saudi intelligence agent in Los Angeles provided to at least two of the men who hijacked planes on September 11, 2001. The document, released on the 20th anniversary of the deadly attacks, still contains significant redactions.It details multiple connections and witness testimony that prompted FBI suspicion of Omar al-Bayoumi, who was purportedly a Saudi student in Los Angeles but whom the FBI suspected to be a Saudi intelligence agent. The FBI document describes him as deeply involved in providing “travel assistance, lodging and financing” to help the two hijackers.

    The Saudi embassy in Washington, DC, previously said Wednesday that it “welcomes the release of” the FBI documents and that “any allegation that Saudi Arabia is complicit in the September 11 attacks is categorically false.”

  • CNN turning on Biden?

    CNN turning on Biden?

    The feeding frenzy begins?!

    The front page of CNN reports that it isn’t going to give Biden credit anymore for just not being Trump..

    The front page of state media seemingly has turned on the Commander in Chief

    Stephen Collison for CNN writes:

    Biden is failing to adequately explain why he so badly failed to predict the swift collapse of the Afghan state. And his credibility has been sullied because his confident downplaying of the risks of the withdrawal has been repeatedly confounded by events. Seven months into his term, Biden no longer gets credit simply for not being Donald Trump.

    The article continues:

    The atmospherics around a White House that was on a roll have shifted in a matter of days. Just over a week ago, Biden was taking a victory lap for his unlikely feat of passing a bipartisan infrastructure deal in the Senate and also ramming a $3.5 trillion spending framework through the chamber. As the pandemic rebounds, his July Fourth partial declaration of independence over the virus looks like a “Mission Accomplished” moment, even if the reluctance of millions of Americans to get vaccinated has fueled its spread.

  • Recount!? Census hit by cyber-attack!

    Recount!? Census hit by cyber-attack!

    AND NOW WE FIND OUT!

    U.S. Census Bureau computer servers were exploited last year during a cybersecurity attack, but it didn’t involve the 2020 census, and hackers’ attempts to keep access to the system were unsuccessful, according to a watchdog report released Wednesday.

    The attack took place in January 2020 on the bureau’s remote access servers.

    According to the Office of Inspector General, the Census Bureau missed opportunities to limit its vulnerability to the attack and didn’t discover and report the attack in a timely manner.

    The agency also failed to keep sufficient system logs, which hindered the investigation, and was using operating system no longer supported by the vendor, the watchdog report said.

    The report went on to state that the bureau’s firewalls stopped the attacker’s attempts to maintain access to the system through a backdoor, but unauthorized changes were still made, including the creation of user accounts.

    “Furthermore, no systems or data maintained and managed by the Census Bureau on behalf of the public were compromised, manipulated or lost,” Jarmin wrote.

    ….do you trust that?

    The suspension of doctor Paul: YouTube takes down Rand as punishment

    Senator writes that his suspension from YouTube is a badge of honor..

    More..

    Sen. Rand Paul, a Kentucky Republican, has been suspended from YouTube for seven days over a video claiming that masks are ineffective in fighting Covid-19, according to a YouTube spokesperson.

    “This resulted in a first strike on the channel, which means it can’t upload content for a week, per our longstanding three strikes policy,” the spokesperson said. “We apply our policies consistently across the platform, regardless of speaker or political views, and we make exceptions for videos that have additional context such as countervailing views from local health authorities.”

    Paul has been outspoken over the last year, question Dr Anthony Fauci regular in tense testimony .. Paul also succumbed to a Covid infection in 2020, and argues that his natural immunity is as strong as a vaccine..

  • NO MORE DRUNK DRIVING THANKS TO THE INFRASTRUCTURE BILL!

    NO MORE DRUNK DRIVING THANKS TO THE INFRASTRUCTURE BILL!

    BURIED IN THE NEW BILL: “ADVANCED IMPAIRED DRIVING TECHNOLOGY” . ..

    If passed and signed into law, it will mandate “a system that … passively and accurately detect[s] whether the blood alcohol concentration of a driver of a motor vehicle is equal to or greater than the blood alcohol concentration” of .08, in which case the system would “prevent or limit motor vehicle operation.”

    Automobile manufacturers would have a three-year grace period to comply with the regulation.

    MORE..

    The provision gives ammunition to Republican critics who say the scope of the bill expands far beyond bridges and tunnels. Sen. Josh Hawley (R., Mo.) said he would oppose the bill over its subsidies for green energy, while Sen. Mike Lee (R., Utah) questioned whether the federal government could efficiently allocate more than $1 trillion in spending. Meanwhile, a number of House Democrats say they oppose the deal for not doing enough. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) attacked her partymates in the Senate for compromising with Republicans.

    “It certainly looks like this opens the door for mandatory breathalyzers in every new car. It’s crazy,” said one senior Republican aide, who requested anonymity to speak candidly due to ongoing negotiations in the Senate.

    Although the exact type of alcohol monitor the bill would require is unclear, passive alcohol sensors are described in a report by Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD). The group recommends “driver monitoring systems, touch-based systems that can read your blood alcohol concentration through your fingertips and air-sampling systems that can test and isolate just the air exhaled by the driver.”

    MADD president Alex Otte praised Senate negotiators for using the infrastructure bill as a vehicle to pass the group’s “most significant” legislative push in recent years.

  • MASK ON. MASK OFF. MASK ON

    MASK ON. MASK OFF. MASK ON

    POTUS MASKS UP AGAIN..

    Just a few months ago as the birth of spring brought hope eternal..masks were off. President Biden said that it was once again time to greet each other with a smile..

    A smile now turning to a frown..

    Delta variant growing across America, the President and Staff are now appearing to don the masks again across the grounds of the White House.

    The requirement was back after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said new research showed even vaccinated people could transmit, in rare cases, the more contagious Delta variant.

    Showing how quickly the tide has turned in just two weeks:

    Reporters and photographers wore masks. Members of the press office wore masks. Biden did too — he was photographed with a mask while talking with an opposition leader from Belarus before leaving for a trip to Pennsylvania.

    Vice President Kamala Harris got a head start the day before, wearing a mask during a meeting with Native American leaders. An aide passed out masks to any journalists who had already fallen out of the habit of keeping one handy.

    Meanwhile JoePA has called for $100 bucks to whomever gets vaccinated!

    Cash for jabs!

    The President said

    Thursday called on state and local governments to use funds from his $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan to offer $100 payments to individuals in order to incentivize coronavirus vaccinations.

    The payments would be offered to newly vaccinated Americans to provide “an extra incentive to boost vaccination rates, protect communities, and save lives,” the Treasury Department said in an announcement Thursday afternoon.

    “Treasury stands ready to give technical assistance to state and local governments so that they may use the funds effectively to support increased vaccination in their communities, and Treasury will partner with the Department of Health and Human Services throughout this effort,” it said.

  • The town of Kane PA rocked by insurrection arrest and subsequent national attention

    The town of Kane PA rocked by insurrection arrest and subsequent national attention

    CAPITOL RIOT ARREST OF RESTAURANT OWNER RATTLES HOMETOWN →

    This is reporting from the Associated Press from a little small town named Kane, Pennsylvania:

    A crank caller ordered an “insurrection pizza” from Pauline Bauer’s restaurant. A profane piece of hate mail addressed her as a domestic terrorist. She even became a punchline for Stephen Colbert’s late-night talk show on CBS.

    A swift backlash greeted Capitol riot suspects like Bauer when they returned to their homes across the U.S. after joining the mob that stormed past police barricades, smashed windows and disrupted the certification of Joe Biden’s presidential victory on Jan. 6. Relatives, friends or co-workers reported scores of them to the FBI. Some lost jobs. Others lost their freedom, jailed awaiting trials.

    In Bauer’s hometown in rural Pennsylvania, her arrest and that of a longtime friend have rekindled partisan bickering, more often on social media than on street corners, some residents say. As Bauer and William Blauser Jr. fight the charges in court, many in the town of Kane have struggled to comprehend how two of their neighbors could be among the hundreds of Trump loyalists bent on overturning the election that day.

    image

    At this juncture, here is what we know: Bauer was heard shouting at police to “bring Nancy Pelosi out” to be hanged during the riot, the FBI says..

    Bauer was arrested in May. Video showed her involved with another entering the Capitol through an east Rotunda door where at least three police officers were trying to block entry. Video from a police officer’s body camera captured Bauer saying to bring out Pelosi, the Democratic speaker of the House.“Bring them out now. They’re criminals. They need to hang,” she said.

    Bauer has demanded to represent herself in court, appeared to threaten a court clerk with prison time, and declared herself a “self-governed individual” with special legal privileges.

    Bauer does not simply appear in court, she clarified during a June 11 proceeding via Zoom. “I am here by special divine appearance, a living soul,” she told a judge that day, while stating that she did not want an attorney.

    “I do not stand under the law,” she said. “Under Genesis 1, God gave man dominion over the law.”

    More reporting from the AP on the ongoing legal battle:

    Bauer has been combative with the judge presiding over her case and claimed the court has no authority over her. She was jailed for one night in June after she refused to answer a magistrate judge’s routine questions. During a recent hearing, she told U.S. District Judge Trevor McFadden that she doesn’t want an attorney to represent her “or any lawyering from the bench.”

    “I do not recognize your bar card, sir,” she told McFadden, who appointed a lawyer to act as her standby counsel.

    She also told the judge that she wouldn’t allow a pretrial services officer to inspect her home, in person or virtually. The judge warned her that she could be jailed again if she refused to comply. He also denied her request to dismiss her charges, which include obstruction of an official proceeding and disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds.

    “On what terms?” she asked.

    “You know what? You don’t get to demand terms from me,” the judge replied.

  • The Havana syndrome getting more attention: Growing mystery of suspected energy attacks draws US concern

    The Havana syndrome getting more attention: Growing mystery of suspected energy attacks draws US concern

    The Biden administration is facing new pressure to resolve a mystery that has vexed its predecessors: Is an adversary using a microwave or radio wave weapon to attack the brains of U.S. diplomats, spies and military personnel?

    The number of reported cases of possible attack is sharply growing and lawmakers from both parties, as well as those believed to be affected, are demanding answers. But scientists and government officials aren’t yet certain about who might have been behind any attacks, if the symptoms could have been caused inadvertently by surveillance equipment — or if the incidents were actually attacks.

    Whatever an official review concludes could have enormous consequences. Confirmation that a U.S. adversary has been conducting damaging attacks against U.S. personnel would unleash calls for a forceful response by the United States.

  • President Biden’s 21 gum salute

    President Biden’s 21 gum salute

    Politics sure has gotten boring.. so boring that Judicial Watch is entering into a lawsuit against the Secret Service for secret information on Joe Biden’s dog attack in the White House..

    And another set of Biden gaffes..

    The President was touting his vaccine plan.. instead of giving the right website, a little snafu introduced it as Vaccines.Gum.

    The official White House transcript corrected the matter after the press event.

    If Willie Wonka was real, it would be sure fun to see if he would be involved with the Vaccine Gum making ..

    This story has overall little importance in the scheme of things. But it has equaled a few hours of Twitter trends with jokes about vaccine gum.

    I guess the gaffe could have theoretically been worse…………..
