  1. Al (Guam might tip over) Green did his part to push this joke. He was there, but the supposed protesters he was protesting were not. Which is the only reason Al showed up, because he knew there’d be no one else, except the NG and police. How courageous!

    Not.

    “Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) is sending a message to QAnon and right-wing extremist threats by sitting on the Capitol steps on Thursday, the date authorities warned militia groups were potentially planning another breach of the building.

    “I want to make a statement to let people know, those who would threaten those of us who cherish this freedom that we have here that we refuse to allow those threats to negate our freedom,” he told The Hill.

    Capitol Police and the FBI have cautioned that militia groups that took part in the deadly insurrection at the Capitol on Jan. 6 — when a group of Trump supporters attempted to disrupt the certification of the Electoral College votes — had drafted plans for a second attack on March 4.”

  2. Meanwhile, while you’re focused on their “security theater”……

    The Biden DoJ is dropping charges filed against Antifa and other rioters. You know, when stuff was actually burned, looted, and destroyed, unlike in their Q Anon fantasies. Drop charges against real criminals and make up imaginary ones. Seems legit.

    Not.

  3. Catholic churches are telling folks to avoid the J&J vaccine if possible, since it’s made with aborted fetal tissue.

    https://www.scpr.org/news/2021/03/03/96893/church-leaders-say-johnson-johnson-shot-should-be/

    “The new Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine may offer the best prospect for protecting as many Americans as possible, as quickly as possible, but some U.S. faith leaders say they have moral concerns about its development.

    Unlike the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines, the Johnson & Johnson vaccine was produced in part through the use of cell lines derived from an aborted human fetus. In a statement released this week, leaders of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops said that this feature of the vaccine raises questions about its permissibility.

    “If one has the ability to choose a vaccine, Pfizer or Moderna’s vaccines should be chosen over Johnson & Johnson’s,” say Archbishop Joseph F. Naumann of Kansas City, Kan., and Bishop Kevin C. Rhoades of Fort Wayne-South Bend, Ind. Naumann chairs the USCCB’s Committee on Pro-Life Activities, and Rhoades chairs the USCCB’s Committee on Doctrine.

    The bishops stop well short of telling U.S. Catholics to avoid the Johnson & Johnson vaccine altogether, a position also taken by other faith leaders known for their strong opposition to abortion.

    “We should oppose authorizing or funding research rooted in the taking of innocent human life,” says Russell Moore, president of the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention.

    “That does not mean, though,” Moore tells NPR, “that people must shun medical treatments that can save lives because they were discovered through means of which we would not necessarily approve.””

  4. Ecological terrorism, and Biden will do nothing.

    Except maybe send another pallet of cash to the mullahs…..

    And I’m sure he’ll have a strongly worded letter for Israel when they justifiably respond.

    “Ecological Terrorism: Iran Behind Major Oil Spill Off Israel’s Coast

    The oil disaster “severely contaminated most of Israel’s coastline and killed wildlife.”

    “The Israeli government has confirmed Iranian involvement in the massive oil spill that hit its coast last month.

    “Now we see Iran is not just terrorizing [Israel] with [attempts at attaining] nuclear weapons and entrenching itself in our region, but also by harming the environment,” Israel’s Environment Minister Gila Gamliel said on Wednesday.

    The Jerusalem Post reported the Israeli minister’s statement:

    Iran intentionally polluted the Mediterranean Sea and the Israel’s shores in an act of ecological terrorism, causing the greatest environmental disaster in Israel’s history, Environmental Protection Minister Gila Gamliel said on Wednesday.

    “This pollution has people who are responsible for it and have to pay the price. Our nature is damaged, our animals are harmed, thanks to merciless environmental criminals,” Gamliel said.

    Gamliel explained that, following a two-week investigation, the Environmental Protection Ministry found that the ship that leaked the crude oil, called the Emerald, was owned by a Libyan company and sailed from Iran to Syria. It departed Iran, turning off its automatic identification system (AIS) – which transmits its location to other ships in the area. It turned the AIS on as it went through the Suez Canal, and then off again as it approached Israel’s shores.

    The ship remained within tens of kilometers of Israel’s shores, within Israel’s economic waters, for nearly a full day, spilling large amounts of oil on February 1-2, with its AIS off.

    Then it continued on to Syria, where it turned on its transmitter, and it returned to Iran, turning off its AIS as it passed Israel. It is currently in Iran.

    The tar reached Israeli shores on February 17.

    The spill originated from an oil tanker that set sail from Iran. The vessel turned off its tracking devices before it entered Israeli waters and dumped the oil near the coastline.

    Described by the media as the worst environmental disaster in the country’s modern history, the spill “severely contaminated most of Israel’s coastline and killed wildlife,” the Times of Israel reported. The oil and tar washed up along 100 miles out of Israel’s 120 mile-long coastline, forcing the government to close the beaches and ban the sale of Mediterranean seafood.

    This is the second act of maritime terrorism by Iran in recent weeks. Last week, Iran targeted an Israeli ship in the Gulf on Oman. The Asia-bound cargo vessel was reportedly hit by an Iranian missile in the high seas, causing damage but no loss of life.”

  5. The fraud known as Fauci has blood on his hands. As do many others in the US.

    https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/03/overwhelming-evidence-origin-covid-19-pandemic-covered-us-government-officials-us-scientific-authorities-chinese-counterparts/

    “Like their partners in China, what U.S. government officials and members of the U.S. scientific establishment feared most was accountability.

    That was the primary selfish motive for the cover-up they appeared to have initiated.

    It began on February 3, 2020, when a meeting was held at U.S. National Academy of Science, led by Kelvin Droegemeier, Director, Office of Science and Technology Policy; D. Christian Hassell, Senior Science Advisor, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services; and Anthony Fauci, Director, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, National Institutes of Health.

    The emails related to the February 3, 2020 meeting are below:”

    “Attendees included other U.S. government staff members from the Office of Science and Technology Policy, the National Institutes of Health and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

    Most of the participating scientists either had long histories of collaborative coronavirus research with China or were later associated with a robust support of China and the theory that COVID-19 originated as a naturally-occurring disease outbreak.

    According to the Statement of Task and Work Plan, which were distributed before the meeting, it was already decided that the COVID-19 pandemic originated as a natural-occurring or “evolutionary” event and that arguments to the contrary needed to be countered.

    That is, it was the responsibility of U.S. government officials and members of the U.S. scientific establishment to provide a continuous stream of evidence to support a preordained outcome, one that protected China, international financial interests and themselves from potential complicity or culpability.

    As revealed in their own emails, the deliberations by the scientists involved in preparing a response to the February 3, 2020 meeting were primarily focused on suppressing any discussion that the COVID-19 virus might have originated in a laboratory.

    Yet, the efforts to create a narrative that the COVID-19 pandemic was a naturally-occurring transmission from animals to humans for which no one is to blame went far beyond the response to the February 3, 2020 meeting.

    Before the ink was dry on that response, Peter Daszak of the EcoHealth Alliance, on February 6, 2020, separately contacted selected scientific participants from the February 3, 2020 meeting in order to launch a public relations campaign in scientific journals in support of China, the theory that the COVID-19 pandemic was a naturally-occurring event and to condemn a laboratory origin as a conspiracy theory.”

    ———–

    Several people should be apologizing for slandering people who were right all along. It’s not a conspiracy theory when it’s true, and it has been since day one. But some rubes fell for it, and plenty of them should know better.

  6. The censorship continues…..

    https://legalinsurrection.com/2021/03/youtube-purges-trumps-cpac-speech-suspends-right-side-broadcasting-for-posting-it/

    “YouTube Purges Trump’s CPAC Speech, Suspends Right Side Broadcasting For Posting It

    Search “Trump 2021 CPAC Speech.” I did and I only got snippets, highlights, and news reports covering the speech.”

    “YouTube suspended Right Side Broadcasting Network’s (RSBN) account for two weeks over President Donald Trump’s CPAC speech and then removed the video.

    The video had almost four million views. RSBN also said the video has disappeared from other YouTube accounts.

    I searched “Trump 2021 CPAC Speech” on YouTube.

    I found snippets of the speech, highlights, news reports on the speech, and outtakes from late-night shows.

    I cannot find Trump’s 2021 CPAC speech.”
