Many ‘Unlikely’ to Face Jail Time for Capitol Riot, ‘Could Embarrass Biden Administration’

Many who entered the Capitol building during January 6 protests of the 2020 election outcome are “unlikely” to face jail time — a “jarring reality check” for Americans “outraged by the storming of Capitol Hill,” according to a Politico report on Tuesday.

“What about somebody who has no criminal record who got jazzed up by the president, walked in, spends 15 minutes in Statuary Hall and leaves? What happens to that person? They’re not going to get a jail sentence for that,” a defense attorney, who asked not to be named, told the outlet.

“There is a natural cycle to an event like this,” the defense attorney added. “People will say it was the end of the world, then things will calm down, and they’ll begin looking at cases back on what people actually did.”

The report’s sub-headline noted that the cases “could embarrass the Biden administration, which has portrayed the Jan. 6 siege as a dire threat to democracy.”

The report said there have been high-profile conspiracy cases involving members of “right-wing, paramilitary groups” but the most urgent decisions for prosecutors involve resolving “scores of lower-level cases” clogging the D.C. federal district court.

Politico reported that, so far, almost a quarter of the more than 230 defendants formally and publicly charged — about 57 — face only misdemeanors, and in recent days, judges, prosecutors, and defense attorneys have all indicated that they expect few to face harsh sentences.

The report said the actions of many often boiled down to “trespassing”:

…Although prosecutors have loaded up their charging documents with language about the existential threat of the insurrection to the republic, the actions of many of the individual rioters often boiled down to trespassing. And judges have wrestled with how aggressively to lump those cases in with those of the more sinister suspects.

“My bet is a lot of these cases will get resolved and probably without prison time or jail time,” said Erica Hashimoto, a former federal public defender who is now a law professor at Georgetown. “One of the core values of this country is that we can protest if we disagree with our government. Of course, some protests involve...

There are more US deaths related to vaccines in 2021 in less than 3 months than there were the entire past decade.

The number of deaths related to vaccines this year has absolutely skyrocketed. According to the CDC’s own data, in 2021 in less than 3 months, we have already seen over 1,750 deaths due to vaccines in the US.

This data comes from the CDC’s VAERS database:

“The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) database contains information on unverified reports of adverse events (illnesses, health problems and/or symptoms) following immunization with US-licensed vaccines. Reports are accepted from anyone and can be submitted electronically at www.vaers.hhs.gov.”

The ages of those who have died plies with the elderly:

It's Like Obama Is Negotiating This Deal....

Admin breaks promise to not offer sanctions relief until Iran negotiates

Congressional Republicans are calling the Biden administration’s reported plan to roll back sanctions on Iran before it commits to renewed diplomatic talks an unacceptable concession that will only embolden the hardline regime and reward its bad behavior.

As Iran continues to balk at U.S. proposals for direct negotiations on a deal, the Biden administration is becoming desperate. American officials are now said to be offering Iran immediate relief from tough economic sanctions in exchange for commitments to scale back portions of its nuclear program and halt enriching uranium to levels needed for a weapon, according to Politico. That proposal, Republican foreign policy leaders told the Washington Free Beacon, breaks multiple promises from Secretary of State Antony Blinken to not lift sanctions until Tehran agrees to sit down with the United States and other world powers. Republicans also are learning of the proposal via media reports, highlighting the administration’s continued efforts to conceal its diplomatic pursuits from critics in Congress.

Iran also quickly slapped down the Biden administration’s offer, which is said to include a promise to remove sanctions if Tehran stops enriching uranium to the 20-percent threshold, according to Tuesday reports in the country’s state-controlled press. Iranian leaders maintain that they will not agree to any negotiations until America unwinds all of its sanctions on the country and returns to full compliance with the original 2015 deal, which former president Donald Trump abandoned in 2018.

Iran’s hardline stance—accompanied with a major increase in its nuclear weapons work—is a sign that the regime believes the Biden administration will blink first and agree to full-scale sanctions relief in order to cajole it into talks. The administration has already taken several steps in this direction, including removing...

Something Does Not Add Up Here, And Our Fascist Masters Like It That Way.

CNN Claims There’s No Way To Tell If A Baby Is A Boy Or A Girl

CNN reported Tuesday “it’s not possible to know a person’s gender identity at birth, and there is no consensus criteria for assigning sex at birth.”

The article, which highlighted executive orders from South Dakota Republican Gov. Kristi Noem that bar male athletes from competition in women’s sports without an enforcement mechanism, is advertised by the network as “news” written by CNN breaking news reporter Devan Cole, rather than opinion.

“Though the two executive orders signed by Noem do not explicitly mention transgender athletes, they reference the supposed harms of the participation of ‘males’ in women’s athletics,” Cole wrote, describing them as “an echo of the transphobic claim, cited in other similar legislative initiatives, that transgender women are not women.”

The orders, Cole continued, “also reference ‘biological sex,’ a disputed term that refers to the sex as listed on students’ original birth certificates.”

Male and female distinctions then, according to CNN, are a mirage of the imagination.

The same network ran ads encouraging viewers to identify certain fruits as they appear, in which apples and bananas were metaphorical symbols for facts. The transcript and the ad are below:

“We know we have work to do at home that includes addressing profound inequities, including systemic racism”

Following a remarkable exchange a fortnight ago when U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken was laughed out of the room by a Communist Chinese delegation for attempting to scold them on human rights abuses, he has now declared that China is right to criticise America’s record on the issue.

Blinken told reporters Tuesday that China was right to claim that the U.S. is guilty of rights abuses against minorities.

“We will hear from some countries, as we do other years, that we have no right to criticize them because we have our own challenges to deal with,” Blinken stated during a press briefing on the release of the State Department’s Report on Human Rights.

“Well, we know we have work to do at home that includes addressing profound inequities, including systemic racism,” he added.

“We don’t pretend these problems don’t exist or try to sweep them under the rug. We don’t ignore them. We deal with them in the daylight with full transparency,” Blinken further stated.

“The way we confront our challenges at home will give us greater legitimacy in advocating for human rights abroad,” he added.

The Secretary of State there agreeing with the CCP that America is the one in the wrong, while Communist China rounds up people and throws them into internment camps because of their religion, as well as subjecting people to forced sterilization and abortions, slave labour and live organ harvesting.

That’s what happens when this guy is heading up foreign diplomacy.
