Biden is “Captain Ahab”; the DemParty is the “Pequod”; and Trump is “Moby Dick”. How’d that eventually turnout for everybody?

See Link for full timeline, list below are the key times showing when National Guard support was offered and rejected by the U.S. Capitol Police (USCP) i.e. Pelosi.

Note as well that President Trump activated the National Guard on Sunday, January 3rd.

Why would Pelosi reject National Guard support?
Why is the FBI not interested in Ray Epps and others providing direction to enter the Capitol?
Why is the FBI not interested in those that removed the barriers and closed area signs?

Sure seems to show Pelosi and the FBI actively participated/directed breaching of the Capitol.

https://www.breitbart.com/poli...p-campaign-spending/

Longtime Republican fundraiser Caroline Wren, who served as the finance director for the Trump Victory Fund, told Breitbart News Saturday that donors want a forensic audit of money raised and spent by Republicans in the wake of the disastrous 2020 election, emphasizing that Republicans need to focus on infrastructure problems within the party in order to defeat the Democrats.

Wren, who focuses on high dollar giving, has recently begun to speak out against political consultants who took money that donors gave to the Trump campaign and effectively squandered it. That issue is just a piece of the greater issue, she explained, noting that the money given leading up to the 2020 election was not spent well.

During the months leading up to the election, donors could give a max amount of $817,600 to Trump Victory, and donors, if they gave the full amount, were told that about $200,000 would go to the legal fund which would be “stacked with cash” and equipped with lawyers, because as Wren said, the “Democrats cheat every time.”

However, this turned out to be a lie, because the fund existed, but “where was the money spent?” That became more evident after the election, when she realized that lawyers were not ready to go — not in Nevada, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, or Michigan . Five days after, Wren said, she noted that Trump received 13 million more votes than he did in 2016, which is “so unheard of.” But Biden received 15 million more than Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, even though “there was no energy on the ground to show that or to expect that.”

“Something else happen here,” she said, concluding it all comes down to money and briefly explaining how the Democrats rigged the 2020 election in their favor.

Wren said it really began in March 2020, as Democrats began to broaden voting rules under the guise of the coronavirus.

She also referenced the strategy outlined in David Plouffe’s book A Citizen’s Guide to Beating Donald Trump. There, Plouffe, Obama’s campaign manager, called for a block by block street fight in counties Clinton won by ten points or more in the eight swing states needed to win.

Then, left-wing lawyer Marc Elias changed his strategy, beginning to sue and win in those areas. Then, Mark Zuckerberg got involved, and the rest is history.

Wren: “I tell people the election wasn’t stolen. It was bought and paid for by Silicon Valley and George Soros and Zuckerberg and these others. And we lost the election between March and August,” she said, emphasizing the importance of focusing on infrastructure problems within the GOP prior to the next election and securing an offensive conservative law firm ahead of the next elections.

"securing an offensive conservative law firm" That would be very good. Perkins Coie law firm has been extremely valuable to the DEMs. There is no REP counterpart.

You're just asking for trouble. What kind of reaction do you expect by making such a remark? You know the answer to that question, and that means you're trolling this forum.

Joe diGenova, legal analyst and former U.S. Attorney to the District of Columbia, joined WMAL's "O'Connor and Company" radio program on Monday to react to the Supreme Court's arguments about Biden’s vaccine mandate.

“How many FBI agents or confidential informants actively participated in the events of Jan. 6?” Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz asked the Executive Assistant Director for the FBI’s National Security Branch Jill Sanborn.

“I can’t go into the specifics of sources and methods,” Sanborn said.

“Did any FBI agents or confidential informants actively participate in the events of Jan. 6, yes or no?” Cruz pressed.

“I can’t answer that,” Sanborn said

“Did any FBI agents or confidential informants commit crimes of violence on Jan. 6?” Cruz followed up.

“I can’t answer that,” Sanborn repeated.

“Did any FBI agents or FBI informants actively encourage and incite crimes of violence on Jan. 6?” Cruz asked.

“I can’t answer that,” Sanborn said for a third time.

Cruz asked Sanborn, “Who is Ray Epps?”

Sanborn said she was “aware of the individual,” but did not have the “specific background to him.”

Cruz asked if Epps was a fed.

“Sir, I cannot answer that question,” Sanford said.
She also could not say whether Epps urged people to tear down barricades.

Scandal-scarred CNN has seen its viewership nosedive by a staggering 90 percent both overall and in the critical demographic coveted by advertisers in the first week of the new year as compared to last year.

The once-proud leader in cable news averaged just 548,000 viewers during the week of January 3, a precipitous drop from the nearly 2.7 million viewers for the same week in 2021, according to the most recent ratings.

Those numbers were supercharged by the the left-leaning network's coverage of the January 6 Capitol Riot, which resulted in CNN having its most-watched day since Ted Turner launched the news outlet in 1980.


However, on the one-year anniversary of the insurrection, viewers chose right-wing rival Fox as it topped ratings for coverage of the event.

CNN also saw an 86 percent decline in the much-desirable 25-to-54 demographic, with a paltry 113,000 tuned in last week, compared to the 822,000 CNN averaged a year ago.

Stewart Rhodes Arrested While On Phone With Lawyer Who Subpoenaed Him

https://nationalfile.com/exclu...e-lawyer-subpoenaed/

National File can exclusively confirm that Oath Keepers founder and leader Stewart Rhodes was arrested within the last hour at his home in Texas.
The arrested happened this morning while Rhodes was speaking to January 6 defense attorney Jon Moseley, who had just secured Rhodes as a witness in an upcoming trial against fellow Oath Keeper Kelly Meggs.
According to Moseley, he had recently secured Rhodes as a witness in the upcoming January 6 trial of Oath Keeper Kelly Meggs.

Moseley had also subpoenaed Ray Epps and John Sullivan for this trial.

“He completely confirmed the innocence of my client and all the Oath Keepers” said Moseley, “He wanted to come testify at the trial on April 19.”

Then, the police called.

As the two discussed specifics, and Rhodes revealed that he was granted an extension while he considered whether to speak before the January 6 select committee, he received a call from police.

Officers were gathered outside, and he was asked to come out with his hands raised, Moseley relayed to National File.

Rhodes then merged the phone calls, connecting Virginia-based Moseley with the Texas police. Moseley said he acted as an impartial voice, encouraging Rhodes to “get dressed” and surrender while also urging the police to show restraint with other people in the home.

“Typically when a January 6 defendant is arrested, they put everyone in the house in handcuffs,” Moseley told National File. “Apparently there was a person sick with COVID in the home.”

It is not clear what Rhodes was arrested for, or if it was related to January 6.

While the indictment will reportedly be unsealed later today, the Washington Post and New York Times have reported that he is charged with “seditious conspiracy.”

According to Moseley, Rhodes was renting space at the residence where he was arrested, and has been unable to raise money as allegations swirl that he worked with the federal government on January 6, 2021.

Moseley suggested the timing was significant.

“This is too fast for them to put this together and then arrest him, unless they’ve had an indictment sitting under seal,” said Moseley.

“Even then, it’s too fast.”

Moseley’s remark about timing is particularly noteworthy considering the recent buzz created by the revelation that he had subpoenaed Epps, Sullivan, and Rhodes.

After the news broke, Ted Cruz appeared on Tucker Carlson Tonight and raised questions about whether Epps works for the federal government.

Shortly after that interview, a member of the January 6 select committee claimed that it had interviewed Epps privately. Per the committee, the mysterious Arizonan said that he was not working for the federal government or any of its agencies. This satisfied fact checkers.

Now, over a year since the events of January 6, 2021, Rhodes has been arrested.

It is not clear if he has secured legal representation in Texas at this time.

I'm wondering about Fox News. My cable company doesn't seem to be providing it any more--the schedule appears in the Guide but going to the channel is just a black screen with no audio. It's been that way for about 2 weeks. Prior to that the channel had a lot of pixelation and halts.

If you have a set-top cable box, reset it by unplugging it for a good half hour, then plug it back in. Before I cut the cable cord, I had to do that to my cable box 2-3 times a month.

The box just now began a "Boot" cycle all on its own. We'll see if that makes a difference. (I have my doubts because all other channels are OK.)

EXCLUSIVE: Ray Epps’s Attorney Responds to Claims His Client Is an FBI Informant

https://www.theepochtimes.com/...gWCDkT2kS1QA6FYgXNzC

The attorney for Capitol Hill protest participant Ray Epps, former FBI agent John Blischak, told The Epoch Times on Jan. 12 that his client has been interviewed by federal law enforcers and “unequivocally, he is not an FBI informant.”

Speculation about Epps has gradually built for months, coming to a head when top federal law enforcement officials refused to answer questions about his alleged connections to law enforcement during a Jan. 11 Senate hearing on domestic terrorism. The Democratic-led House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, breach of the U.S. Capitol released a statement following the hearing, claiming to have interviewed Epps and that he’s not a “fed”—but this prompted further questions and criticism.

While The Epoch Times was initially unable to reach Epps for comment, he responded to a text message later on the night of Jan. 11.

“Please refer any questions to our attorney John Blischak,” Epps wrote. “He will be happy to answer your questions, as I’ve been advised not to talk to anyone at this time.”

When reached by phone the next morning, Blischak vigorously denied that Epps is a federal informant.


“He was interviewed by the FBI in Arizona,” he said. “I was present during that interview, and unequivocally, he is not an FBI informant.”

Asked whether Epps is an asset for any government agency—law enforcement, intelligence, or otherwise—Blischak said, “Not to my knowledge.”

Then why didn’t Department of Justice officials deny any connections to Epps?

“Knowing the FBI as I do, they’re not going to comment one way or another,” Blischak said.


Blischak also denied any deals or agreements between Epps and the FBI. He said he’s representing Epps “in the event that he becomes a potential defendant in any action brought as to what happened on Jan. 6, 2021.”

“We’ve been working with the House Committee,” Blischak. “That’s what we’ve been doing.”

The Epoch Times asked whether Epps was under oath during his interview with the Jan. 6 Committee or with the FBI. Blischak didn’t directly answer the question, instead explaining that when FBI agents interview individuals, they typically aren’t under oath.

When asked for a copy of the transcript between Epps and the committee, Blischak said copies will be provided to attorneys of Jan. 6 defendants.

“I can, but I don’t have it. I probably can down the road, but I haven’t made any effort,” he said when The Epoch Times requested a copy. “I first want to get with my client.”

When asked to characterize Epps’s actions on Jan. 5 and 6, Blischak said, “Merely present.”

Video footage shows Epps urging protestors to enter the Capitol on multiple occasions, as well as talking to someone at the initial breach site right before that person began rushing the barricades—raising questions among some about whether Epps told the person to attack.

As to why his client hasn’t been charged, Blischak said, “Because he’s not guilty! He has a good attorney.”

Blischak is a former FBI agent who worked in Cleveland and then Arizona from 1974–85.

His bio says: “In 1975, John W. Blischak embarked on a rewarding nine-year career as an FBI agent with the U.S. Department of Justice, commencing in Cleveland and thereafter transferring to Phoenix. Wanting to seek independence and a challenge, Mr. Blischak, voluntarily left the FBI and commenced a three-year stint as a prosecutor in the Maricopa County [Arizona] Attorney’s Office.”

Since then, Blischak has been handling a variety of criminal matters, from DUI cases to white-collar crime, according to his site.

Blischak downplayed the significance of his past with the FBI.

“There’s no correlation. It’s public record. I can’t lie that I was an FBI agent from ’75-’84, but I do not know that when he retained me, that he knew that,” he said. “In other words, he didn’t retain me because I’m a former FBI agent.”

Richard Booth, an independent researcher of the Oklahoma City bombing, told The Epoch Times that it’s common for FBI agents to transition into private practice for financial reasons. He cited former FBI Deputy Director Weldon Kennedy, who wrote in his memoirs about how many agents struggled to make ends meet when transferred to expensive places such as New York City.

“Many in FBI are lawyers and they’re notoriously underpaid, so not surprised to see one practicing law,” Booth said. “On the other hand, it sure looks suspicious.”

Meanwhile, Blischak said he hasn’t issued a demand for a retraction or had any other communications with Revolver News, the site that published the original deep dives into Epps.

“We’ve had discussions. … I personally haven’t been involved in that aspect,” he said.

“They [Revolver] are throwing him against the wall. I know that, and right now I have a meeting [with Epps today]. He’s going to be in my office in about four hours, and I’ll know our future plans after that meeting.”
